Li Jingya nodded. Since she was young, her parents have instilled a thought into her, their birth was destined to become helpers in their husbands' careers, so their university study was financial management, and she felt that she and Teng Yiyang should have a lot in common with each other on this point. "I was determined to be an independent, self-strengthening woman of the new era, so after graduating from college, I helped out my dad's company and assumed the role of 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."
Lady Li looked pointedly at Teng Yiyang, almost not making it clear that if you marry our daughter, you will definitely help your career.
Senior Teng nodded and praised, "To be able to achieve such a result at such a young age, it's not easy at all, it's truly amazing!"
Li Jingya was flattered to the point that she was embarrassed. She snuck a peek at Teng Yiyang's expression and thought to herself that he must also think that she was better than a useless vase!
"Miss Li's ability is indeed outstanding, but I think, it's not good if the girl is too strong. If it's my wife, I hope she can do what she likes. If not, 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 that was even more embarrassing than being directly refused. She tightly clenched her fingers, but due to her lady's modesty from childhood, she still stiffly smiled and said, "Young Master Teng's words can't help but make people envy the person who will become your wife in the future."
Teng Yiyang said with a faint smile, "Sure, sure."
He thought of Ji An'an, who had repeatedly slapped him on his face, and harrumphed in his heart. That damned girl didn't think that way!
The Li family's couple's faces were ugly, but they did not dare challenge the Teng Familu. The Teng Familu was a huge business, not something a little Li family like them could compare to.
Senior Teng was almost angered to death by this unfilial grandson. He scolded with a stern face, "Brat, what are you saying? Why aren't you apologizing to Miss Li?"
Teng Yiyang shrugged casually, turned around and said to Li Jingya, "Sorry, I'm just like this. I can't keep my mouth shut. I hope Miss Li won't take offense."
Li Jingya forced a smile. "No, no."
Seeing his attitude, Senior Teng was so angry that his beard was twitching. He was about to reprimand him again, this unfilial grandson had beat him to it.
"Grandfather, have you forgotten your Teng Familu training, and have you not spoken before going to bed?"
Senior Teng choked and then got angry again. He could only greet the customers, "Let's not talk. The food is getting cold. Let's eat while it's still hot!"
However, the meal ended in an awkward and delicate atmosphere. Other than Teng Yiyang, no one else present could eat it.
As soon as dinner was over, the Li family couple took their reluctant daughter and left in a hurry.
After sending off the guests, Senior Teng knocked heavily on the floor. He bellowed at Teng Yiyang, who was about to go upstairs, "You stinking brat, stop right there!"
Mr Liu hurriedly persuaded on the side, "Don't be angry, old man. It's not good to be sick of being angry. You better tell young master, he will listen."
"If you know how to listen, then you wouldn't embarrass others at the dining table!"
Senior Teng blew his beard and glared at the person who stood lazily in front of him. He snorted coldly, "You stinking brat, did you come to the house to tear apart everyone in a day!?
Teng Yiyang received Mr Liu's signal, leaned back on the chair and replied in a neutral tone, "Grandpa, I'm not a child, so don't always hit me. Plus, I'm not planning on dating, so don't always make your own decisions."
"Kids really can't do this kind of thing," Senior Teng snorted and took a few deep breaths before he said sincerely, "Yiyang, it's not that grandpa is nosy, you're not young anymore, and I have to find someone to take care of you, isn't grandpa thinking for your sake?"
Teng Yiyang raked his hair and felt a headache, "Grandpa, I'm fine by myself these few years, you don't have to worry about me."
Senior Teng was still unwilling to give up, "It's good to be alone, but it's very lively in an extra person's house. Don't you think Miss Li has a good temper? You and her will probably be satisfied if you spend more time with her."
Teng Yiyang's tone remained flat, "I don't like it."
Senior Teng frowned, "What's wrong with 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.
Teng Yiyang was annoyed by the question, so he stuck his tongue to his cheek and said, "She touched Qiujia."
Unexpectedly, Senior Teng looked at him with a strange expression, "Yiyang, are you still thinking about safety?"
Teng Yiyang pursed his lips and stayed silent.
No need to answer, seeing him like this, what else was there that Senior Teng didn't understand?
In these past four years, he did not hear his grandson mention An'an. He had always thought that the two of them would leave just like that, and initially, he even thought that Yiyang would be able to bring An'an back, but later on, he did not have this hope anymore. At one point, he thought that Yiyang was stone-hearted and had grudges against him for a period of 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.
"Yiyang, it's not that grandpa is punishing you, but as long as you have some feelings for An An, you won't be so silent for so many years. If you want to look forward, don't get lost in the past.
Teng Yiyang raised his head as if he was hit with a sentence. There was no longer the cynicism at the table as he said in a calm tone, "Grandpa, I can't look forward. There might be a lot of suitable people, but I only want her."
Senior Teng looked deeply at his grandson in surprise and pity. No wonder even Li Jingya didn't enter his eyes. Compared to An An, they were indeed too lacking.
Thinking back to what Yiyang said at the dinner table, it wasn't fake.
An Ran had good culinary skills and was good at painting. She liked arranging flowers, and she was kind to him. The most important thing was that her heart, which was deep in her Teng Familu, was the granddaughter-in-law that he was most satisfied with.
Finally, Senior Teng let out a sigh, "Never mind, grandpa will not care about your marriage anymore. If you can find An An before grandpa gets buried, that would be the best outcome."
Teng Yiyang answered 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.
