Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Old Master Ji leaned on his cane and looked around at the door, with Butler Ji beside him, looking around like a giraffe. Even Mrs. Ji standing behind him did the same thing.

Before long, the sound of a car approaching could be heard in the distance. Butler Ji was extremely excited. They had been looking around for more than half an hour, and if they kept looking like this, they were really afraid that the old man's legs would not be able to take it.

Butler Ji said excitedly, "They're here! The young master and the others are back!"

Several cars were parked in front of the yard. Ji Hancheng got out of the car first, and then he opened the car door, and a group of people from the Lan family got out of the car one after another.

Grandpa Ji, leaning on his cane, walked towards them with a kind face and a big smile. "Welcome, welcome! Please come in."

Lan Chumu held the old man's hand and helped him through the door. Judging from the actions of the two families, it was no wonder that this was their first time visiting the Ji residence. "Excuse me for being so late."

"Not at all, I'm so happy you could come, Lele, my darling, look who's here."

Little Yuzu was playing with her toys on the sofa when she saw the Lan family arrive. She was overjoyed, threw down her toys, and ran over on her short legs. She didn't know who to call first, looking at this one and that one, her little mouth all smiles. She was so cute.

Lan Yunxi deliberately hid behind Lan Yunchen so that Xiaoyouzi couldn't see her. In the end, Xiaoyouzi called out to Lan Yunchen first, "Uncle, Grand-uncle, Grand-aunt."

Shen Muyun squatted down and picked up Xiaoyouzi. "Auntie must miss Lele so much. She seems to have grown taller again."

Yuan Shu stood to the side, smiling as she explained, "Yes, this child has grown a lot taller this year."

The old man was in an extremely good mood. He was getting old and didn't know when he would pass away, so days like today were rare. "Our Yao Yao is tall enough, so Lele baby will definitely not be short."

Ji Hancheng carried his luggage into the living room. During this time, the old man only glanced at it without saying a word, but his eyes showed satisfaction. Lan Yunchen could see the status of this son-in-law in the Ji family.

It's very low; Yao Yao's status might actually be a bit higher.

A rare moment of sympathy flashed across Ji Hancheng's face before he asked softly, "Do you need any help?"

Ji Hancheng refused without hesitation for a second, "No need."

Ji Hancheng felt that his brother-in-law's words were not helping him, but harming him. If his grandfather saw his brother-in-law moving things, he would be scolded to death by his grandfather.

Little Youzi, still being held by Shen Muyun, was looking around as if searching for someone. Seeing Shen Muyun talking to Yuan Shu, Little Youzi reached out her little hand, turned Shen Muyun's face back to her, and said, "Auntie."

"Haha, you've been looking for your aunt, Xixi. Stop playing with him, Lele is getting impatient."

Shen Muyun called out to her daughter behind Lan Yunchen.

"Wow, little guy, it seems your auntie hasn't spoiled you for nothing! Come here, let me give you a kiss."

Lan Yunxi took Xiaoyouzi from Shen Muyun's arms and sat down on the sofa to the side. "Hello, Grandpa."

The old man said, "Hello, hello."

Then Lan Yunxi started playing with Xiaoyouzi, saying, "Quickly give Auntie a kiss, and Auntie will give you a fun toy later."

With Lan Chumu's help, the old man sat down on the sofa. Watching Lan Yunxi and Xiaoyouzi playing opposite him, he nodded slightly, clearly fond of the Lan family's son and daughter. "I heard from the girl that your name is Princess Xixi. This name suits you very well."

"Thank you, Grandpa. You're so cute too." Lan Yunxi genuinely felt that this grandpa was very kind and approachable.

"Hahaha, this girl is really likable."

During the conversation, all the dishes on the table had been served, and the old man invited everyone to eat.

After lunch, Yuan Shu showed Shen Muyun around the Ji residence. Shen Muyun was attracted by the flower room in the Ji residence, so Yuan Shu introduced the history of the flower room and told Shen Muyun that the flower room was kept by the old man for his mother-in-law and was also a memento.

It holds many memories of the old man's longing for his wife. He had long ago instructed that after he passed away, this flower room should be moved to the cemetery so that he and his wife could look after it together.

Shen Muyun was deeply moved after hearing this. There are countless people in the world, but true love is becoming increasingly rare.

Lan Chumu and Grandpa Ji share similar interests; they both enjoy playing chess and drinking tea.

In the afternoon, Ji Hancheng took Lan Yunchen to stroll around the Ji family compound.

Ji Group.

Ji Hancheng has taken on a new role today: the Lan family's driver. At this moment, he is the driver, while Lan Yunchen sits leisurely in the passenger seat.

After the driver parked the car, the two walked side by side into the Ji family compound.

Those around him respectfully greeted him as "President Ji".

One was dressed in a suit and tie, the other in casual clothes, but both exuded the aura of a boss. Lan Yunchen had an innate sense of pressure and nobility that was ingrained in his bones.

Two men walked side by side through the lobby, one with one hand in his pocket and the other with both hands in his pockets, looking very casual.

The receptionist stood ramrod straight. Suddenly, Yan Feifei, who was usually calm, became flustered. She thought she had misread the situation and rubbed her eyes with her hand. By the time she finished rubbing them, the person had already entered the elevator.

Yan Feifei was dazed. She stuck her head out from behind the bar counter, then turned her head blankly. "Did you see two men just walk by?"

She must not have seen wrong, could it be that her eyes were playing tricks on her? Something seems to be wrong.

Another receptionist, organizing documents, said, "That was President Ji just now. Are you crazy?"

"One?" Yan Feifei asked, her mouth agape, already doubting herself.

Another receptionist waved two fingers in front of her. "Two. I don't know who the other one is, but he might be Mr. Ji's client."

"What's wrong with you today? Aren't you supposed to be a staunch follower of the Ji family's employee code of conduct? Not asking about or gossiping about Ji family matters—isn't that your principle?"

Yan Feifei was still in a daze, not quite coming to her senses, until the receptionist nudged her. "I'm asking you a question. Do you know that person? Is he a relative or your boyfriend?"

"What are you thinking? How could that be? It just looks like I've seen it somewhere before, like it's familiar. Maybe I'm mistaken, it shouldn't be here."

Yan Feifei waved her hand and muttered to herself.

The other receptionist was used to Yan Feifei's eccentric behavior and didn't pay any attention to what she said.

upstairs.

In the CEO's office, Lan Yunchen sat in the boss's chair, while Ji Hancheng made coffee to the side.

"The chair is not bad, you have good taste." Lan Yunchen sat for a while, then got up from the chair, walked to the sofa on the side, and sat down.

Ji Hancheng handed the coffee to Lan Yunchen and said generously, "Here, have a cup."

"One should not accept rewards without merit."

"The research base will be completed next month. I have already assigned researchers from Blue City, and I will send them over on the day it begins operation."

Lan Yunchen asked with suspicion, "Why did you sell the commercial street project? Didn't you manage to snatch it with great difficulty? Did you think you had too much money?"

According to Lan Yunchen's initial investigation, Ji Hancheng and Han Yue were working together on this project and had invested a lot of effort in it. Now that it was about to open, they actually sold it.

Ji Hancheng didn't feel any regret at all. With a joking tone and a hint of showing off his affection, he replied, "Yaoyao told me to leave some room for others to make a living."

Lan Yunchen certainly didn't believe this, but he could guess a bit. The investigation into the commercial street revealed Lu Man's involvement, and it was probably to clean up the mess by selling off all the previous projects.

They cut their losses cleanly, and not only did they cut their losses cleanly, they also made a profit.

If we're talking about cunning businessmen, this man embodies all the traits of a ruthless and cunning man

Then Ji Hancheng spoke up, "The room is booked. When your aunt mentioned Xixi's engagement, she seemed quite worried about your marriage. Are you really prepared to grow old alone?"

Lan Yunchen picked up his coffee and took a sip. "It's hard to say."

Yao Yao once said that Lan Yunchen was a non-marriage advocate. At the time, she thought that Lan Yunchen might have been hurt by some woman, or that he had unrequited love. However, Yao Yao said that Lan Yunchen just felt that dating was troublesome and that things could get out of control, such as not being able to take care of the person he liked.

Lan Yunchen is always busy, either on business trips or working overtime. If a girl is with him, she will experience a "loser boyfriend" relationship and feel very lonely, which is unfair to the girl.

After considering various factors, Lan Yunchen decided not to cause trouble for others.

For the Lan family couple, although they do not force their children to get married and have children, they still hope deep down that their son can have a happy and fulfilling family life. Seeing their daughter so happy while looking at their son all alone, they can't help but feel a little worried.

Naturally, they also hoped that their son would have a good marriage.

Of course, the Lan family couple would never mention this to Lan Yunchen's face, nor would they urge him. They would only casually mention Lan Yunchen's marriage when they called Tang Junyao.

Upon hearing Lan Yunchen say "it's hard to say," Ji Hancheng seemed to understand the situation. Holding his coffee, he inquired with a half-smile, "Does Big Brother mean there's something going on? Do you have someone you like?"

Lan Yunchen didn't answer, but instead asked, "Want to be a matchmaker?"

"It's not impossible. The receptionist at our Ji family's is a good candidate. If you're willing, I can introduce you. It's good to keep the good stuff in the family. Your family background is related to theirs. The Yan family has been doctors for generations and owns many private hospitals in the capital. Their family background is clean and reliable. What do you say, brother? Would you like to get to know them?"

While Ji Hancheng was speaking, Lan Yunchen calmly drank his coffee without disturbing him.

After he finished explaining in detail, Lan Yunchen asked, "His surname is Yan? What's his given name?"

Ji Hancheng's eyes lit up, not because he thought his brother-in-law was interested, but because he felt there was another story behind it. "Does brother know the Yan family?"

Even when a hundred cunning people interact with each other, they can always find clues; sometimes a single word or tone of voice can reveal their true intentions.

Based on Ji Hancheng's understanding of Lan Yunchen, he wouldn't even bother to talk to Lan Yunchen if it wasn't something Lan Yunchen was interested in.

Lan Yunchen remained expressionless, revealing no emotion, and simply said, "I heard about this from a business partner before."

Ji Hancheng didn't believe it completely, but simply dragged out the last syllable, "Oh, Yan Feifei."

"Nice name."
