Du Yumeng didn\u2019t know how to respond.<\/p>\n

She had never met the late grandfather of the Zhan family. He had passed away from illness when Zhan Yin was in his twenties\u2014it had been six or seven years since then.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as you\u2019re doing well and remain filial to your grandma, your grandfather in heaven will be very pleased,\u201d she said gently.<\/p>\n

Zhan Yiyang was silent for a moment, then replied, \u201cOf course. We\u2019ll be fine, and we\u2019ll always be filial to Grandma.\u201d<\/p>\n

All the brothers shared a deep bond with their grandmother.<\/p>\n

In contrast, their feelings toward their parents were somewhat more distant.<\/p>\n

When they arrived at Haicheng Hotel, Du Yumeng parked the car. Zhan Yiyang got out with her and asked, \u201cYumeng, don\u2019t you want to carry the bouquet I gave you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going in to eat. There\u2019s no need to carry a bouquet\u2014it gets in the way. Next time, don\u2019t buy such a big one. It\u2019s hard to hold.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Yiyang smiled and said, \u201cA big bouquet looks better.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlright, I\u2019ll get a smaller one next time.\u201d<\/p>\n

As long as she was willing to accept his flowers, whether big or small, he was happy to give them\u2014as long as she liked them.<\/p>\n

He tentatively reached out to hold Du Yumeng\u2019s hand, but she pulled away the moment their hands touched.<\/p>\n

Zhan Yiyang felt a slight pang of disappointment, but he understood.<\/p>\n

Although she had warmed up to him a little after his return to Wancheng, that didn\u2019t mean she had accepted him. She was mostly curious about her sister-in-law\u2019s situation.<\/p>\n

That was alright. The road ahead was long, and he had a lifetime to make her fall in love with him again.<\/p>\n

Zhan Yiyang followed Du Yumeng into the hotel, acting as though nothing had happened.
\nHaicheng Hotel was owned by the Du Group. Du Yumeng often dined there and was very familiar with the place.<\/p>\n

She led Zhan Yiyang into a private room she frequently used and asked him what he wanted to eat. Zhan Yiyang replied that she could order anything\u2014he wasn\u2019t picky.<\/p>\n

Without bothering with formalities, Du Yumeng ordered several of the hotel\u2019s signature dishes.<\/p>\n

Once the order was placed, she asked, \u201cHow\u2019s your family\u2019s investment going here?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going pretty smoothly,\u201d Zhan Yiyang replied. \u201cOnce our branch is up and running, do you think there\u2019s a chance we could work with your company?\u201d<\/p>\n

Du Yumeng smiled. \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s a chance right now. Who knows if your branch will even succeed?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYu Meng, are you doubting my ability?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do have my doubts. Your business in Wancheng has benefited a lot from the Zhan family\u2019s foundation. Besides, the Zhan family has close ties with the Lu, Shang, and Su families.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou powerful families are all major players in Wancheng\u2019s business world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in Haicheng, your influence doesn\u2019t reach as far. Even if you manage to get a few deals here, it won\u2019t be much. Opening a branch here means starting from scratch. If you can get it on track within two or three years, then I\u2019ll admit you\u2019ve got real ability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Yiyang said confidently, \u201cI\u2019ll have it up and running within two years.\u201d<\/p>\n

He had initially planned to give himself just one year, but knowing he also needed time to pursue the woman he loved, he gave himself a little extra.<\/p>\n

He couldn\u2019t allow the woman he cared about to look down on him. Getting the Haicheng branch on track as soon as possible was the first step to proving himself.<\/p>\n
