Zhao Yuxin is undoubtedly the most promising Cinderella of this year, having come from a kindergarten teacher background, and surprisingly, she has become involved with Pei Jie. It is now rumored that she is about to take over the Pei family.

"Alright, this time I will choose the color myself, dear husband," Tang Yao said playfully

Tang Xu left with an apologetic smile, exchanging pleasantries with Pei Jie, who fortunately did not mind. It was no secret that Madam Tang, Ye Zheng, had long disapproved of the Pei mother and son in this circle.

Ye Zheng is a fiercely protective woman. She immediately replied, "If I bother you, then don't look at me. Who among us, like Yabao, is worthy? Even if I stay at home for the rest of my life, I would be happy. Her father said the same thing. Why must a woman always get married, right, Yabao?" Ye Zheng looked at Yabao with an extremely proud expression, "Yabao, we will never settle, right?"

Alas, who can truly articulate the nature of love? Everyone has their own preferences, just as cabbage and radishes have their admirers. With Tang Meibao's exceptional qualities, she still could not elicit even a glance from Pei Jie. It is unexpected that such a precious diamond was plucked by this little cabbage before me, shattering the expectations of countless onlookers.

Tang Yabao was so annoyed by Tang Yao's "What's the matter?" that it felt like a toothache. At over forty years old, she still pretended to be young, saying things like "What's the matter?" She held in her hand the hot potato that Tang Yao had forcefully "taken" from her, looking innocently at Madam Tang, Ye Zheng.

Madam Tang, Ye Zheng, has a particularly annoying habit. From a young age, she has tirelessly and vigorously fought off the flies and mosquitoes surrounding her precious Ya Bao, believing that no one in this world is worthy of her beloved child.

Zhao Yuxin let out a deep sigh, "Oh, it's too ... outside. I came in to catch my breath"

Throughout the journey, there have been many young and talented individuals who were extremely interested in Tang Yabao, raising their glasses in her direction. These individuals are usually the 'newborn calves' who are unaware of the power of her 'mother-in-law'. After enduring years of various admiring gazes, Tang Yabao still has not learned to respond with calmness.

Tang Yabao drove the car into the gate of the Tang family, and her aunt's car happened to be parked right in front of her. Yabao irritably ran her fingers through her hair, but by the time she got out of the car, she had already regained her obedient demeanor, "Aunt."

Ye Zheng's expression suddenly darkened, and Tang Yao quickly fell silent, realizing that he had touched on Ye Zheng's sore spot. He hurriedly pulled her husband, He Zizhang, to his feet, saying, "Husband, let's go upstairs to find my elder brother"

Tang Yao frowned at the car of Chong Yabao, saying, "Why are you still driving this car? Its safety performance is poor."

Yabao quickly nodded and said: "Aunt, Uncle, please keep my mother company for a while, as I have an appointment for lunch."

"It's a woman." Yabao said without turning back.

Yabao's face was smiling so much that it hurt, continuously repeating "Hello, Aunt; Hello, Uncle." Then, he would receive the remark "Yabao is really well-behaved."

This corner is Miss Tang Er's sanctuary of the soul, where no one has ever been invited to join her. Whenever she has worries, she enjoys coming here to sit for a while

Tang Yabao had just come out of the global event when she received a call from Madam Tang. "Yabao, your father has a welcome banquet tonight. Go get your hair done in the afternoon and wear that new apple green gown you just got. Make sure to arrive early"

"I am sorry, I am sorry." Someone kept apologizing and bent down to pick up the lipstick for Yabao.

In the afternoon, Tang Yabao obediently styled her hair, loosely braiding her long chestnut waves and casually pinning them up at the back of her head, with a few strands falling beside her cheeks, exuding a lazy yet elegant charm, embodying the allure of a mature woman. At least it somewhat optimized her "youthful appearance," with the only regret being the lack of ample bosom to complement it.

However, Tang's Changtian Industrial and Pei's Global International have always had a partnership, and Tang Xu and Pei Jie’s father are also university alumni

Yabo fled from home in a panic, running to a corner of Spring Square, where he found an outdoor spot to sit down. He took out the lunch he had packed along the way and began to eat it bite by bite, accompanied by the magazines hanging at the newsstand in front of him

The playful tone faded away upon seeing a man and a woman walk in through the door

Tang Yabao showed no interest in making small talk with Zhao Yuxin, turning back to continue applying her lip balm

Yabo thought to herself, these two together are over ninety years old, they must not kiss in front of her, or it will ruin her appetite

Yabo's uncle was gently patting Tang Yao's back, comforting him: "If Yabo wants it, then give it to her. I will order another one for you, my dear"

Ye Zheng held her forehead with her hand, and those who did not understand the situation might have thought she was concerned about her daughter's drooping eyelids. In reality, she was compassionately looking at Ya Bao with her delicate hand shielding her eyes. Who could possibly drive that red sports car away? That clever Tang Yao actually made Ya Bao take the blame for her.

Tang Yabao glanced at Tang Yao's car, which was equipped with bulletproof glass, and said nothing

Madam Tang, Ye Zheng's behavior is such that it is no wonder she privately vies for the title of the most disliked socialite in H City year after year. Despite the Tang family's significant influence and her husband's wealth never ranking among the top three in the country, she still earns the title of "Queen of Crows" every year.

Tang Yabao cried out in pain, for she was most afraid of suffering. Just this small moment, her starry lake-like big eyes instantly became glistening with tears, "Mom—"

Tang Yabao gently stroked her forehead, thinking that perhaps she really should find a man, to prevent her mother from continuing to hold the title of the least popular.

Ye Zheng coldly uttered a "hm" and turned to pull Tang Yabao away.

On the other hand, Madam Tang is extremely eager to showcase Yabao to everyone, wanting those in her circle to envy her for having such a well-behaved and elegant daughter. Compared to those rebellious heiresses who frequent nightclubs and make headlines in tabloids every day, Yabao is undoubtedly a unique gem, the ideal daughter in her parents' eyes, embodying the essence of a true socialite

A blazing gaze from the left was unabashedly fixed on Tang Yabao's face, causing her cheeks to flush uncontrollably. In her anger, Mrs. Tang pinched Yabao's delicate waist hard, as this did not align with the image of a socialite that Mrs. Tang held in her mind

After Pei Jie appeared at the welcome banquet, Yabao simply could not bear to look at the people present, using the excuse of retouching her makeup to avoid Madam Tang's "torment"

Tang Yabao adjusted her emotions in front of the mirror. Just as she took out her lipstick to touch up her makeup, she was bumped into by a clumsy person who came in, causing her to drop it.

It is merely a magazine, which is still too few; after ten years, there have only been about ten issues.

The dinner was as boring and lengthy as ever, with Mrs. Tang pulling Tang Yabao to greet the various aunts. Looking around the venue, only Yabao, as the daughter, was willing to be arranged in this manner by her mother.

"Uncle Tang, Aunt Ye," Pei Jie said as he embraced his "fiancée" and walked up to the Tang Xu family.

Tang Yao's gaze swept over the small face that resembled a rose in the shade of Yabao red, and he said discontentedly: "Sister-in-law, when is your Yabao getting married? She's already so grown up, yet she stands here pretending to be innocent. Don't you think it's annoying?"

"Oh, Miss Tang, it's you," Zhao Yuxin exclaimed with a look of surprise

The saying that rumors do not arise from a vacuum indicates that the mere existence of such rumors already signifies that Zhao Yuxin holds a considerable position in Pei Jie’s heart. Yabao could not help but scrutinize Zhao Yuxin closely; her appearance was passable, but merely of average level, and her temperament was commendable, yet insufficient to attract Pei Jie to marry her

A small stack of such magazines has been quietly lying in the safe, all featuring this man on the cover without exception. Magazines that include his interviews or news invariably choose him for the cover, and it is said that the monthly sales can at least double. After all, Pei Jie’s face is more dazzling than that of international superstars; with him around, financial magazines could be sold as entertainment weeklies.

"Is it a man or a woman, Yabao?" Ye Zheng stood up and was about to chase after Yabao.

Before Yabao even entered the door, she heard her aunt say in a voice that was overly sweet: "Darling, just now Yabao was outside admiring the precious car you gave me, and she was pestering people for it. What should we do, darling?"

Tang Yabao looked at the luxurious custom red sports car in front of her with a heavy heart. The purple-red luxury interior from brand L was so extravagant that it almost seemed to scream "Coal Boss" in big letters. Yabao pleaded with Tang Yao, "Aunt, this car must be a gift from Uncle to you, filled with deep affection. How could I possibly take away someone else's beloved?"

After Tang Yabao tidied up the lunch box, she bought the financial magazine that she had been staring at for a long time. Without opening it, she traced circles on the face of the man on the cover with her finger, while recalling the call from Tang Meibao, "Tang Yabao, your sister and your future brother-in-law will be back in a few days. Have you missed me to death?!"

Tang Yao tossed the car keys in his hand to Yabao, saying, "Take this car for a drive, and don't say that your aunt is not taking care of you"

Yabo could not understand why Peijie’s fiancée Zhao Yuxin looked so pleasantly surprised upon seeing him, but her upbringing compelled her to greet him calmly, "Miss Zhao"

Sister-in-law, I said that Yabao is already 26, why do you still care about her dining companions?" Tang Yao said, "Why didn't you care about Meibao back then?"

You are my most beloved niece, undoubtedly deserving of this. Take it, as it is a gift from the elder, and do not refuse. In order to give away this sports car, Tang Yao surprisingly began to use flowery language. After successfully making Yabao's teeth sour, she herself twisted her slender waist and quickly walked towards the door in her sky-high heels

Whenever someone asked Ye Zheng whether Ya Bao had a boyfriend, she would previously respond with a feigned smile, saying, "Oh, Ya Bao is still very young, no rush." As for now, Ye Zheng merely smiles slightly without saying anything, but the slight lift of her chin speaks volumes that no one could misinterpret

Tang Meibao is getting married, and this man might also be getting married. Tang Yabao lowered her head and took a sip of rice tea, neatly put away the magazine, and walked into the Global International Building. Guided by the manager of the bank on the first floor, she opened her safe at Global Bank. After glancing once more at the man on the cover, she reluctantly placed the magazine into the safe.
