Inside the room.
Old Qin sat upright in the main seat, surrounded by a large group of middle-aged men, chatting and laughing amicably, creating a warm atmosphere.
Anyone picked from the crowd would be a well-known figure in S City, a person of high status and power.
When Uncle Jiang entered from outside, the room was filled with laughter, as if they were sharing some joke.
Uncle Jiang slowly made his way to Old Qin's side, who was laughing so hard that his face turned red. Upon seeing him, he quickly said, "Xiao Jiang, look at Mayor Zhou; even at his age, he still can't behave properly."
Uncle Jiang smiled and asked in response, "What do you mean by that?"
"I just complimented Mrs. Zhou on her gentle elegance and beauty. Mayor Zhou, upon hearing this, was not modest at all and proudly said, 'Of course, I have good taste.'"
"This made Mrs. Zhou blush with embarrassment."
Hearing this, Uncle Jiang couldn't help but laugh as well.
Mayor Zhou and Mrs. Zhou were known in their circle as a model couple. Mayor Zhou was handsome and charming, while Mrs. Zhou was gentle and lovely; together they were a perfect match.
Moreover, over the years, their relationship remained as pure as first love, full of affection that made others envious.
"How is Jia Jia doing lately? Does she have a boyfriend? Do you need me to introduce her to some young talents?"
As they chatted, the conversation turned to Mayor Zhou's daughter, Zhou Jiajia.
Old Qin remembered that little girl—lively and cheerful, always smiling brightly.
At that time, I planned to introduce her to Qin Xian, but who would have thought that Qin Xian would glance at the photo and, with just one look, coldly reject her, saying she wasn't suitable.
Old Qin lamented for several days, clearly that cute girl was perfect, yet he said she wasn't suitable.
However, upon reflection, it made sense. With Qin Xian's strong personality paired with Zhou Jiajia's fiery temperament...
Uh, that image is too beautiful for me to imagine.
But fortunately, now Qin Xian has Shu Ran, a gentle and delicate person, as calm as water.
Their personalities complement each other perfectly.
Old Qin smiled in satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Mayor Zhou began to tease, "Old Qin, how come after a few days of not seeing you, you've turned into a matchmaker?"
Mayor Zhou is humorous and witty; among everyone present, Old Qin enjoys talking to him the most.
He always manages to make Old Qin laugh heartily without any pretense.
There are no notions of status or age gaps between them. They are like friends who can easily banter with each other and share joy.
Then he continued, "Our Jia Jia has long been taken and is living a happy life. You should be worried about your grandson; if he doesn't find a partner soon, he'll be an old bachelor."
"Don't let it come to the point where my grandson has someone while your Qin Xian is still single."
A few days ago, if Old Qin had heard this, he would have angrily pounded the table in frustration. But today, he was smiling and full of warmth, not feeling the slightest bit envious of what Mayor Zhou had said.
Hmph, our Qin Xian is already taken!
I'll let you all see our granddaughter-in-law later!
Just as he was thinking this, the door was pushed open.
Old Qin looked up, his gaze landing on a pair of beautiful people at the entrance.
Everyone noticed Old Qin suddenly quieting down and looked at him in confusion, then followed his gaze to the door.
Qin Xian was standing at the entrance with Shu Ran, his black suit complementing her light blue long dress; they were a perfect match, one strong and one gentle.
"What is this?"
Everyone was curious about the identity of the woman beside Qin Xian and turned to Old Qin for answers.
However, Old Qin stood up with a kind smile and affectionately called out, "Shu Ran, come here. Grandpa will introduce you to some people."
Shu Ran glanced sideways at Qin Xian and, seeing that he had no objections, lifted her swaying skirt and obediently walked over to Old Qin.
"Grandpa Qin," Shu Ran sweetly greeted.
"Oh," Old Qin smiled warmly, patting her head and praising her, "Good child, come with me."
Shu Ran was confused but still nodded slightly.
Everyone else was puzzled and wanted to ask more questions.
However, Old Qin led her in front of them and introduced her one by one, saying, "This is my granddaughter-in-law, Shu Ran."
Upon hearing this, not only were the others shocked, but so was Shu Ran.
Wait a minute, when did she become the granddaughter-in-law of the Qin Family... this...
Does the Qin Family always make such strong decisions about things?
She thought this in her heart but did not refute it. Instead, she seriously followed Old Qin to meet everyone.
Since entering the room, Qin Xian had casually taken a seat to the side, yet his gaze remained fixed on a light blue figure.
His aura was cold, so no one approached him to chat.
Mayor Zhou found it hard to believe; just a moment ago, they were discussing Qin Xian being single. Now, he appeared with a beautiful companion by his side.
Old Qin even personally got up to introduce her.
Unexpectedly, the famous Qin Xian had actually found someone. This was truly done quietly, without a hint of gossip leaking out.
“Old Qin, this isn't right.”
“With such a bright and charming granddaughter-in-law, you should have introduced her earlier. I was still planning to introduce my niece to your grandson. Thankfully, I didn't; otherwise, I would owe someone a favor.”
“Tell me, how are you going to compensate me for this?”
Mayor Zhou joked, instantly lifting the previously calm and serious atmosphere that had settled when the two entered.
Old Qin laughed heartily, his face filled with wrinkles from the passage of time. In that moment, there was no sense of desolation, only an undeniable joy and happiness, like a child who could laugh freely.
“Let my granddaughter-in-law serve you a cup of tea as an apology, haha.”
As he spoke, a nearby servant immediately brought over a cup of tea. Shu Ran raised her hand to accept it and then walked in front of Mayor Zhou. With her head slightly lowered, she politely offered the tea and said, “Uncle, please enjoy the tea.”
Shu Ran held out her hand for three seconds, but Mayor Zhou still hadn't taken the tea.
Old Qin looked anxious and hurriedly asked, “Cong Ying, why aren't you taking it?”
However, Mayor Zhou did not respond; he stared intently at the young woman in front of him as if trying to uncover something from her face.
Shu Ran finally sensed that something was off. She slowly lifted her head and met the gaze of the middle-aged man before her.
“Shu Ran?”
