"What did you say, son? Your mother didn't hear it wrong, right?" Mrs. Cai stared at Cai Yang with a shocked expression, as if she had seen a ghost.

Cai Yang threw a disdainful look: "Mom, you heard me right. I have seriously considered this, and it was determined by Grandpa. I cannot go against Grandpa's wishes. I know what kind of person Grandpa is, so there's no way to avoid it."

Lying is something that Cai Yang always effortlessly does. Because of this, he has endured countless beatings from Old Cai. He even went out of his way to polish his acting skills. The current Cai Yang really does appear like a brave martyr who is willing to sacrifice himself in order to not defy his grandfather's intentions.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Cai and Mrs. Cai suddenly felt sorry for him. After all, the Cai family was not poor, so there was no need to let their son live like a widow.

"If you're not willing, we can discuss and negotiate...," seeing her son being so understanding, Mom Cai suddenly felt reluctant.

Cai Yang immediately refused when he heard it, "Mom, please don't say that. I won't allow our family to become unfaithful and ungrateful. Since I have already promised them, your son will definitely fulfill it. Just rest assured, I won't let our family lose face."

"......"

Mr. Cai and Mrs. Cai glanced at each other, a little confused. They couldn't quite understand how their son Cai Yang, who had been unwilling just the day before, became so determined overnight. Could it be that he had been possessed by an evil spirit?

After returning to the room, Cai Yang's mother blinked her eyes and asked, "Honey, is this our son?"

Mr. Cai's face was also filled with confusion, saying, "Perhaps."

At this time, Cai Yang had no idea that his completely flipped attitude had started to make his parents wonder if he had switched souls. Both of them felt like their son was acting crazy.

Cai Yang snuggled in his little bed, feeling so cozy and comfortable. Thinking about what Song Yuan and the others were talking about, Cai Yang couldn't help but hide in his bed and rejoice secretly.

There are hidden illnesses, frigidity, and impotence. Hahaha, how fantastic is that? I thought I would be stabbed if I had to marry him, but I didn't expect the person I'm marrying to have a hidden illness. By saying this, it means that the Du family hasn't married off their eldest, who is almost thirty-five, because of this issue.

The most important thing is, if this matter is brought up beforehand, the people from the Du family would feel guilty towards Cai Yang. In this case, whatever requests Cai Yang makes, the people from the Du family will definitely comply.

Cai Yang felt elated at the thought of these. As long as he could handle these things, it would be enough. After all, they were just people from the Du family. When the time came, they would have to obey him obediently. Du family's leader, just wait for me. I refuse to believe that I cannot deal with you.

On the other side, Du Ming sat at home, expressionless, looking at the various aunts and uncles beside him.

He was still in a meeting at the company when he received a call from home. The person on the other end of the phone spoke urgently and abruptly hung up before finishing their sentence. Du Ming thought something happened, so he hurriedly left without finishing the meeting. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw this situation.

"Son, your aunts and uncles heard that you are going to marry the young master of the Cai family, so they have all come to give you some advice," Du Mama laughed so hard that her eyes were nearly gone.

Du Ming really wanted to turn around and leave right now, but he couldn't. After all, all the aunts and uncles were there, so he had to give them enough face.

Du Ming: "There's no need for all of you to worry. The marriage has already been arranged, and the engagement ceremony will take place on the fifteenth day of next month. As for the wedding itself, I will handle everything on my own. You don't have to trouble yourselves, aunts and uncles."

"How can that be? There are so many things happening inside here, and you and Xiao Caiyang haven't seen each other in so many years. We still need to be prepared for some things," Du Ming's aunt, Jiang Sunian, said hurriedly.

This is a big event for the Du family. Although Jiang Sunian is a member of the Jiang family, Du Ming is the most beloved person in the entire family. When the other sisters heard the news, they all got busy, and she couldn't fall behind either.

Hearing this, Du Ming's face was filled with helplessness: "Auntie, you really don't have to go through all this trouble. I know what kind of person Cai Yang is, there's no need for such fuss."

Du Ming is also very familiar with Cai Yang. The reason he waited until now is because of Du Ming's determination.

Perhaps Cai Yang has already forgotten about his childhood, or perhaps he doesn't even remember what promises he made back then. Du Ming doesn't think any of that matters. He's determined that Cai Yang is Cai Yang, and he made that determination from the moment he laid eyes on him. No matter what Cai Yang is like, Du Ming will use his own actions to make Cai Yang his own.

"No, even though you two knew each other since you were children, you're still not serious about getting engaged and married!" Jiang Minnian, Du Ming's aunt, quickly interjected. Du Ming felt a headache coming on at this moment.

"Aunty, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, you don't need to worry about these things, I understand it all. Second Aunt, Third Aunt, you really don't need to worry, I am well aware." Du Ming patiently began the countdown.

At this moment, the old master of the Du family couldn't sit still anymore and said, "Xiaoming, this matter is not as simple as you think. You should listen to your aunt and uncle."

'......'

The old master stepped forward, and Du Ming chose to remain silent. After all, that was his grandfather, so he had to give him face. Besides, if the old master were to say a single word about his unworthy grandson, Du Ming would be in trouble. The bombardment of criticism from various relatives would come one after another.

Seeing the old master speak like this, Aunt Du quickly said, "That's right, we should listen to the old master. Aunt and auntie are experienced people. Moreover, the Cai family is considered prominent. We can't lose face."

After hearing this, Du Ming also pondered for a moment. He realized that his thinking was somewhat simplistic. He didn't understand the intricacies of engagement and marriage. If any contradictions were to arise later, it would be his fault.

"Then let's go with what everyone thinks," although Du Ming wasn't very willing, he had no choice but to accept it.

Upon seeing Du Mingsong relax, the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

The people of the Du family are fearless in the face of heaven and earth, but they are afraid of angering the eldest of the Du family. If the eldest of the Du family gets angry, the entire Du family will be turned upside down. However, the eldest of the Du family has a relatively stable temperament... at least they haven't shown much anger.

However, the Du family has experienced it before. Everyone disagreed because of the marriage with Cai Yang. Du Ming and his family were very angry.

That could be considered as the first time Du Ming got so angry with his family. From that moment on, the Du family remembered that their eldest brother should not be messed with.

"Alright, then let's leave this matter to everyone. However, when should the two families meet each other? Let's first set a date for the engagement." Aunt Du pondered and said.

Du Ming had also considered meeting with the other party. After all, Cai Yang had just returned to the country during this period, so he wanted to wait a little longer before reaching out to Cai Yang. But now, after hearing all of this, Du Ming suddenly felt that he should find some time in the next two days to meet with someone from Cai's family. Otherwise, he would always feel unsettled in his heart.

"Then let's visit the Cai family this weekend," Du Ming made up his mind.

After so many years of not seeing him, I wonder how he has changed. Du Ming thought to himself, reminiscing about the former Cai Yang. A smile unconsciously formed at the corners of his mouth, startling everyone in the room.
