Although the Du family is now led by daughters, they are capable enough to support the Du Group. The older generation no longer needs to worry and can retire to enjoy life in peace.<\/p>\n

Many in Haicheng\u2019s upper-class society must envy someone like Mr. Du.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou had no social events tonight and left work early\u2014so you must\u2019ve gone on a date with Zhan Yiyang.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow did you know, Mom?\u201d<\/p>\n

Du Yumeng admitted it readily, then suddenly exclaimed, \u201cOh no! I forgot the bouquet and jewelry. Zhan Yiyang gave them to me!\u201d<\/p>\n

With that, she stood up and hurried out.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Du laughed and said, \u201cYou left all the gifts he gave you in the car. It looks like your feelings for him aren\u2019t that deep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Du Yumeng had already walked out of the main house and didn\u2019t respond.<\/p>\n

When she returned with the bouquet and the jewelry set, Mrs. Du teased her again, \u201cIf you\u2019re not that attached to Zhan Yiyang and could break up at any time, have you considered your brother Xiang Yang?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur two families have a close relationship. Your Aunt Xiang has been my friend for decades\u2014she\u2019s watched you grow up. Although she\u2019s a bit snobbish, that\u2019s normal in our social circle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut with the Du family behind you\u2014and you being capable, both refined and strong\u2014no one can bully you. If you were with Xiang Yang, your Aunt Xiang would treat you like royalty, even better than she treats him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Du Yumeng asked in return, \u201cMom, do you think the Xiang family or the Zhan family is better? Which one suits me more? Would I be happier with Brother Xiang Yang or with Zhan Yiyang?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Du was briefly speechless.<\/p>\n

After a moment, she smiled and said, \u201cI was just teasing you. I don\u2019t really expect you to marry Xiang Yang. His heart isn\u2019t with you, and you don\u2019t love him. If you marry just for business, you\u2019ll both be miserable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour Aunt Xiang isn\u2019t as refined or capable as the wife of the Zhan family. She lacks her grace, her skills, and her open-minded thinking. The Xiang family simply can\u2019t compare to the Zhan family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we\u2019re being honest, the Xiang family is too far below the Du family to be a good match. The Zhan family, on the other hand, is a much better fit\u2014though still a bit distant.\u201d
\n\u201cBut as long as you\u2019re happy, distance doesn\u2019t matter. Your dad and I are in good health and can still fly. We can visit you anytime, and you can come home whenever you like.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was true that Mrs. Du and Mrs. Xiang had been best friends for decades. She was also Xiang Yang\u2019s godmother. Emotionally, her heart leaned slightly toward Xiang Yang.<\/p>\n

But she wasn\u2019t irrational\u2014she remained clear-headed.<\/p>\n

When it came to her daughter\u2019s happiness, Mrs. Du could set aside years of friendship and family bonds. Her only concern was her daughter\u2019s well-being.<\/p>\n

She had already made up her mind: whether it was the Zhan family or the Xiang family, she knew which was best.<\/p>\n

The Zhan family had a strong and admirable tradition. They were a suitable match for the Du family. The men of the Zhan family were known for being loyal to both marriage and family\u2014qualities that set them apart from most wealthy households.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s well known that many daughters from prominent families hoped to marry into the Zhan family\u2014not for their wealth, but for their devotion.<\/p>\n

However, the Zhan family\u2019s romantic lives were all closely monitored by the grandmother. The old matriarch was sharp, and no one could marry in easily. They had to earn her approval first.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Du wouldn\u2019t let her daughter miss such a rare opportunity.<\/p>\n

That evening, Mrs. Xiang had even called her, subtly probing the situation and hinting that a union between their families was unlikely. It seemed Mrs. Xiang had already accepted that outcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re no longer mad at him,\u201d Mrs. Du advised, \u201cyou should make your relationship public soon. Don\u2019t give other women a chance to steal Zhan Yiyang away. Your biggest rival has been finding ways to show up around him lately.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Yiyang only had eyes for Du Yumeng and hadn\u2019t noticed that a certain rich girl had been circling him.<\/p>\n

But her intentions were becoming increasingly obvious\u2014she was out to steal him away.<\/p>\n

The moment Mrs. Du mentioned her nemesis, Huang Li, Du Yumeng\u2019s face darkened.<\/p>\n
