Having finished his bath and changed his clothes, Qiao Yu put on a well-fitting blue suit. His wet, long hair framed eyes that sparkled with intelligence. He was tall and slender, so much so that the two young maids were somewhat captivated.

Qiao Yu's thoughts had also changed slightly after being served by the two maids during his bath.

Well... maybe he didn't need to stay away from women forever. After all, women were quite comfortable sometimes.

Not long after the bath, the sun slowly set over the hills.

Tang Lan arrived as promised. She, too, was struck by Qiao Yu in his new clothes.

This kid's looks were quite suitable for being a kept man.

That way, she could explain to her family why she had found a poor kid to be her husband, Tang Lan thought.

"Let's go!"

Wearing an expensive dress, Tang Lan naturally took Qiao Yu's arm. The two looked like a perfect couple, just like real lovers.

Qiao Yu felt a little awkward walking down the road, because he kept feeling something soft rubbing against his elbow, making him unable to stop his mind from wandering.

"Good evening, Miss! Good evening, Mr.!"

Along the way, the Tang family servants greeted them one after another.

They sized up Qiao Yu with curious eyes, as if wondering who had defiled their young mistress.

"Say less, do less later, and watch my cues, understand?" Tang Lan whispered to Qiao Yu.

"Got it! Leave it to me!" Qiao Yu nodded.

Tang Lan then revealed a smile and led Qiao Yu into a hall.

As soon as he entered, the dazzling lights made Qiao Yu unable to open his eyes. He squinted and saw gold-sprayed walls, a large red carpet, and deep purple long tables that were particularly eye-catching.

The crystal chandelier, reflecting the brilliant lights, also looked extravagant.

Various precious foods were placed on the purple long tables. The last time Qiao Yu saw these ingredients was at Ma Fei's house.

Supreme Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Sea Cucumber with Bear Paw, Oyster Sauce Australian Abalone, Thick Soup Golden Hook Fin...

The array of delicacies made Qiao Yu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but strangely, no one in the hall moved their chopsticks.

Everyone was chatting in small groups, as if they had no interest in the food in front of them.

Seeing Tang Lan and Qiao Yu enter, they all turned their attention to them.

The young men were deeply attracted by Tang Lan and couldn't take their eyes off her.

The older elders, on the other hand, turned their attention to Qiao Yu.

"Lan'er, you're here? Come over here and sit down."

A middle-aged woman with features similar to Tang Lan waved, signaling Tang Lan and Qiao Yu to come over. The woman was well-maintained and looked no more than thirty years old.

After walking up to the woman, Tang Lan began to introduce them.

"Mom, this is Qiao Yu."

"Qiao Yu, this is my mom, Kong Yun."

"Auntie, hello!"

Qiao Yu gave a standard fake smile and extended a hand towards Kong Yun.

"Auntie, you look too young. If Lan'er hadn't explained, I would have thought you were her older sister!"

Tang Lan's teeth itched with anger when she heard Qiao Yu call her Lan'er along with Kong Yun.

She knew that Qiao Yu was taking advantage of her, but she couldn't do anything to him in front of everyone.

"Oh, please, I'm already old and fading."

Kong Yun covered her face with a hint of delight as she listened to Qiao Yu's flattery.

Which woman didn't like to hear others compliment her youth?

At this moment, a middle-aged man sitting next to them snorted heavily, staring at Qiao Yu with unkind eyes.

"Sycophantic, glib-tongued, irresponsible, clueless!" As soon as the middle-aged man spoke, a big hat was placed on Qiao Yu's head.

Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow and said with surprise.

"You must be Lan'er's grandfather! Pleased to meet you!"

He excitedly shook the middle-aged man's hand, completely ignoring the fact that the middle-aged man's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Qiao Yu, this is my dad, Tang Dingshan!"

Tang Lan was also covered in black lines. She was already regretting bringing Qiao Yu back. This guy was too capable of causing trouble.

"Ah!"

Qiao Yu slapped his forehead in a surprised manner.

"I'm sorry, Uncle. My eyesight is not good. When I looked at you, I thought you were Lan'er's grandfather! I'm so sorry!"

Tang Dingshan took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart.

"This guy is the father of my grandson. I must endure! I can't let the child lose his father before he's even born."

Tang Dingshan repeated this thought hundreds of times in his heart, snorted coldly, and turned his head away, ignoring Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu naturally wouldn't ask for trouble. He directly found a seat and prepared to start eating.

Tang Lan quickly stopped him.

"What are you doing! Grandpa hasn't arrived yet, no one else can start eating!"

Qiao Yu curled his lips, thinking to himself, you kidnapped me here, and now you won't even let me eat?

He pouted and stared at Tang Lan eagerly.

"Wife, hungry, food."

Shua!

Tang Lan's body was instantly covered with goosebumps.

Tang Lan, as the person involved, was now very regretful about bringing Qiao Yu back.

The people around them looked at Qiao Yu with strange eyes, then at Tang Lan, and then at Kong Yun and Tang Dingshan.

Their Tang family's young mistress rejected a marriage alliance for such a thing?

"This is a family banquet! Be normal!"

Tang Lan gritted her teeth as she leaned close to Qiao Yu's ear.

Seeing that Tang Lan really showed signs of losing control, Qiao Yu finally calmed down.

Just kidding, was Qiao Yu's advantage so easy to take? Just wait, the good show was yet to come!

If he didn't mess things up today, he would change his surname to Tang with Tang Lan!

Anyway, the Mechanical Empress had also awakened, so he could just run away.

After another five minutes or so, a rickety old man slowly walked into the hall with the support of a slightly younger man.

As soon as this old man entered, the originally noisy hall instantly became silent, which showed how high his status was.

The reason was simple: this old man was the head of the Tang family, Tang Wumou.

Without Tang Wumou, there would be no Tang family today.

Tang Wumou's old face was full of wrinkles, looking like a grapefruit peel that had been left in the refrigerator for ten days.

However, his eyes were as bright as stars. At this moment, these eyes were staring closely at Qiao Yu, as if trying to see through all the secrets in Qiao Yu's heart.

This gaze alone gave Qiao Yu a strong sense of oppression.

Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow, could he tolerate this?

He directly walked up to Tang Wumou and questioned him sternly.

"Hey! You old geezer, this is the Tang family's banquet, what's your identity, how dare you step in here?"
