It was as if Teng Yiyang didn't see the look in the old man's eyes as he continued to ask, "Miss Li is studying finance?"

Li Jingya nodded, her parents had instigated her with an idea since they were young, their origins meant that they were destined to be helpers in their husbands' careers in the future, so their university education was financial management. She felt that on this point, she and Teng Yiyang should have a lot in common: "I've made up my mind to become an independent, strong, new generation woman, so after graduating from college, I've worked for my father's company as a director."

Madame Li echoed him, "That's right, our family's Jingya has a talent for business. Now, she's given up on a lot of business to do for her. We've always felt that whoever marries her will be fortunate."

Madame Li looked at Teng Yiyang pointedly. "I almost didn't say that if you marry our daughter, you will definitely help your career."

Old Man Teng nodded his head in praise, "It's not easy and very powerful to achieve such a result at such a young age!"

Li Jingya was praised to the point that she felt embarrassed. She secretly looked at Teng Yiyang's expression and thought to herself, "He must also think that she is better than a useless vase!"

"Miss Li's ability is indeed outstanding, but I think it's not good if a girl is too strong. If it's my wife, I hope she can do what she likes. If there's nothing else, she can just paint a picture at home, plant flowers, and play with cats and dogs. It's better to hand over the fighting in the mall to the men."

Although his words weren't too clear, none of the people present were idiots. They could hear the implied meaning behind his words. It was clear that they didn't want to be engaged with him.

Being rejected like this was even more embarrassing than being rejected outright. She clenched her fingers tightly, but due to her lady's modesty, she still forced a smile and said, "Young Master Teng saying this, I can't help but envy the person who will become your wife in the future."

Teng Yiyang gave a smile that was not a smile, "Sure, sure."

He thought of Ji Anan, who had repeatedly slapped him on the face. He harrumphed to himself, 'That damned girl doesn't think that way!'

The Li family's couple's faces were ugly, but they didn't dare to challenge the Teng family. The Teng family's business was huge, and they, a small family like the Li family, couldn't compare to them.

Old Man Teng was almost angered to death by this unfilial grandson of his. With a stern face, he reprimanded, "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Why aren't you apologizing to Miss Li?"

Teng Yiyang shrugged nonchalantly, then turned to Li Jingya and sloppily said, "I'm sorry, this is how I am. I don't have anything to hide from you. I hope Miss Li won't take offense."

Li Jingya forced a smile, "No, no."

Seeing his attitude, Old Man Teng was so angry that his beard was twitching. He was about to scold him again, saying that this unfilial grandson was one step ahead of him.

"Grandfather, have you forgotten Teng Jia Village's teachings? Can't you eat or sleep?"

Old Man Teng choked and then immediately got angry, so he could only greet the guests and say, "Let's not talk too much. The food is getting cold, so let's eat while it's still hot!"

However, this meal ended in an extremely awkward and delicate atmosphere. It was likely that no one present could eat this meal except for Teng Yiyang.

As soon as dinner was over, the Li family couple took their reluctant daughter and left in a hurry.

After sending off the guests, Old Man Teng knocked heavily on the floor and shouted angrily at Teng Yiyang, who was about to go upstairs, "You stinking brat, stop right there!"

Uncle Liu hurried to persuade him, "Old gramps, don't be angry. If you anger him to death, his health will be in trouble. Please tell young master, he will listen."

"If you know how to listen, then you wouldn't embarrass others at the dining table!"

Old Man Teng blew on his beard as he glared at the person standing lazily in front of him. Then he sneered and said, "You stinking brat, didn't you just come to the house to tear apart the roof every day?

Teng Yi Yang received Uncle Liu's signal and leaned back in his chair. He replied in a neutral tone, "Grandfather, I'm not a child, so please don't hit me. Besides, I don't plan on dating, so don't make your own decisions."

"Kids really can't do this kind of thing," Old Man Teng snorted heavily, then took a few deep breaths and said sincerely, "Yi Yang, it's not that grandpa is nosy, but you're not young anymore. You need someone to take care of you, isn't grandpa thinking for your sake?"

Teng Yi Yang raked his hair, and felt a headache coming, "Grandfather, haven't I been fine all these years? You don't have to worry so much."

Old Man Teng still refused to give up. "It's good to be alone, but it's lively in an extra person's house. Don't you think that Miss Li has a good temper? Perhaps you'll be satisfied if you spend more time with her."

Teng Yi Yang's tone was still calm. "I don't like it."

Old Man Teng frowned and asked, "What happened to you?" Why do I feel that you have some enmity towards that Miss Li? Don't tell me you guys have a grudge? "

That shouldn't be the case. This was the first time the two of them had met.

Disgusted by his question, Teng Yi Yang stuck his tongue to his cheek and said, "She touched Qianduan Rift."

Old Man Teng stared at Yi Yang with a strange expression for this reason. "Yi Yang, are you still thinking about safety?"

Teng Yi pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

There was no need to answer. Seeing him like this, there was nothing that Old Man Teng couldn't understand.

In these past four years, he had never heard his grandson mention An'an. He had always thought that the two of them had parted ways like this; he had initially thought that Yi Yang would be able to bring An An back, but later on, he did not have this hope. He had even thought that Yi Yang was stone-hearted and had grumbled about him for some time.

In the past, I tried my best to help you guys. You did not appreciate my kindness and even injured An An so badly that in the end, she was angered by you and ran off. This fate was lost due to you.

"Yi Yang, it's not that grandpa is trying to hurt you, but if you have any feelings for An An, then you won't stay silent for so many years. If you want to move forward, you might encounter someone suitable."

As if his words had hit the mark, Teng Yi Yang raised his head and said calmly, "Grandfather, I can't look forward. There might be a lot of suitable people, but I only want her."

Old Man Teng looked deeply at the grandson before him. He was both surprised and pity. No wonder even Li Jingya didn't enter his eyes. Compared to An An, he was far inferior.

Thinking back to what Yi Yang had just said on the table, it was not fake.

An Ran had good culinary skills. She was good at drawing, liked arranging flowers, and loved. The most important thing was that she had the heart of the Teng family. She was the granddaughter-in-law that he was most satisfied with.

In the end, Old Man Teng let out a soft sigh, "Forget it. Grandpa will not care about your marriage anymore. If you can find An An before Grandpa is buried, then it will be for the best."

Teng Yi Yang replied in a low voice, "Yes."

He really wanted to tell his grandfather that An An had actually come back, but when he thought back to how the two of them were currently in a stiff state, he decided to temporarily hide it from him!

When he coaxed them back, he would give his grandfather a surprise.

This was what he thought.

However, he didn't expect that the following reality would cause him to repeatedly be thwarted.
