In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

Chapter 450 An older, unmarried man is pressured to get married as soon as he returns home from a bu

Fu Ziyan didn't tell Gu Anning about Zhang Chengyu's possible attempt to steal one of her top generals, since it was just her speculation and there was no concrete evidence yet.

Even so, we still need to be prepared to take necessary precautions.

Since it involved Mrs. Lin, it was inconvenient for Fu Ziyan, given her status, to contact her directly. Moreover, she had a lot of work to handle and really didn't have time to meet Mrs. Lin, so she entrusted the matter to her third aunt, Liao Shuyuan.

Since her daughter Fu Zitong got married, Liao Shuyuan has become increasingly impatient with dealing with the petty squabbles among the concubines in the household, and even less inclined to concern herself with the conflicts and infighting among the illegitimate sons. She only has one daughter, and no matter how much the inheritance disputes escalate, it's none of her business. As the wife, no matter what the future holds, she'll always have a share.

With nothing to do, she devoted herself to maintaining relationships with wealthy wives, taking care of her skin and looking beautiful every day to socialize with them.

When Liao Shuyuan received Fu Ziyan's call, she was tidying up her antique jewelry with her assistant. She was quite surprised when she heard from the maid that it was Miss Ziyan calling.

Even though her second uncle's niece usually showed great respect to them, to be honest, given Fu Ziyan's current wealth and status, if Fu Ziyan wanted something, she could just say the word and have her subordinates running around doing their bidding. To Fu Ziyan, this third aunt really had no special value.

"Is there something you need from Ziyan's aunt?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, Auntie, but I would like to ask you to pay a little attention to Ms. Lin Manhua when you attend small gatherings."

As soon as Fu Ziyan said that, Liao Shuyuan, with her intelligence, understood what her niece meant and smiled in agreement: "No problem. I remember that the old man of the Lin family was also an old friend of my father's, so it is only right that I take care of his daughter."

Liao Shuyuan has been a part of the wives' circle for many years. When Fu Ziyan mentioned this name, she could naturally make the connection. Given the status of the Fu family, even if her husband had nothing to do with inheriting the family business, she had always held a high position in the wives' circle.

Lin Manhua had only been in Hong Kong for a few years, and although she had occasionally seen her at some events, they hadn't had much contact. Of course, after Fu Ziyan specifically called her, their contact definitely increased.

Fu Ziyan didn't try to hide anything. Some misunderstandings are caused by unclear communication. She said frankly, "Then I'll leave it to your aunt. Her son was recently transferred to Shenzhen to develop the land. As a friend and boss, I should make sure he has no worries."

Now that things have come to this, is there anything Liao Shuyuan doesn't understand?

"Don't worry, Ziyan, your aunt will definitely take good care of Lin Manhua for you."

As soon as she hung up the phone, Liao Shuyuan instructed her assistant to fetch the guest list for the upcoming tea break. It was rare for her second brother-in-law's precious son to have something to do, so she naturally wanted to do it perfectly.

Liao Shuyuan's efficiency was naturally quite high.

Soon, everyone in Hong Kong's upper-class socialite circles knew that Liao Shuyuan and Lin Manhua were close. Before the Lin family's downfall, Lin Manhua was a well-known socialite in Tianjin. With Liao Shuyuan's introduction and companionship, Lin Manhua's activities in the circle became increasingly smooth.

Zhang Chengyu was so busy with her various courses that she was completely overwhelmed. When she had a spare moment, Lin Manhua was always away from home, so they rarely had a chance to meet. She quickly realized that she should temporarily give up on the Lin family and focus all her energy on her studies, solidifying her foundation and broadening her horizons in order to secure her inheritance rights.

Zhang Chengyu: As long as I secure the inheritance rights to the Zhai family company, I can easily restore the relationship with the Lin family. After all, everyone likes to add flowers to brocade.

July arrived in the blink of an eye, and the summer sun grew even stronger.

Lin Siqi returned to Hong Kong from Shenzhen under the scorching sun. He had just come back from a business trip and was in no hurry to go to the company. When he got home, he found that his mother was missing.

The maid came forward to explain, "Sir, Madam has gone to a charity tea break."

Lin Siqi was full of questions. He had only been away from home for a month, so why was his mother suddenly so keen on going out?

This question was soon answered.

The sounds of cars and people could be heard outside.

Soon, his mother, Ms. Lin Manhua, followed by a maid, rushed inside. She looked up at her son, who was leaning against the stair railing, and laughed, "Xiao Qi, you're finally back."

“Mom,” Lin Siqi said, walking toward her mother, “it seems you’ve been living a very fulfilling life lately.”

Lin Manhua snorted lightly: "Isn't it all for you?"

Lin Siqi: ? ? ?

Meeting her son's bewildered and surprised eyes, Lin Manhua sighed softly, "Look at you, you're over thirty and you still don't plan to get married. How can I not worry about you?"

The sudden pressure to get married dealt Lin Siqi a heavy blow.

“I’ve recently met quite a few socialites, from all walks of life. When are you free? I can arrange for you to meet one of them.” Ms. Lin was very direct. “Don’t you like working? You could also consider an arranged marriage. You can cultivate your relationship with the woman after marriage.”

Lin Siqi: "...Hehe."

To be honest, his mother has quite a few ideas.

"Don't laugh. Son, let me tell you, although you're a bit older, you're good-looking, have a clean reputation, and are successful in your career. Our family relationships are simple, and I've made it clear to those wives that I won't interfere in your young couple's affairs. All things considered, you're actually quite a good catch. Some wives who dote on their daughters would love a son-in-law like you."

"It's just that the woman is younger, so you have to take better care of her. There's nothing I can do about it; it's your age for not getting married yet. But that's how couples get along—it's all about mutual understanding and care."

"Do you remember that girl you met when you picked me up from the mainland two years ago? Zhang Chengyu came to Hong Kong recently too. Would you like to meet her? Or I know several wealthy women who are interested in you; their daughters are of marriageable age." Ms. Lin enthusiastically counted on her fingers as she introduced them, her eyes sparkling as she looked up at her son. "When are you free?"

Lin Siqi stared blankly at the ceiling, thinking that she might as well have stayed in Shenzhen a few more days.

“Mom, I suddenly remembered that I need to talk to the other shareholders about the Shenzhen branch,” Lin Siqi said, getting up to leave. “You continue with your work, I’ll be going now.”

Lin Manhua watched as her son disappeared in a flash as soon as he finished speaking.

When she chased after them, all she could see was car exhaust fumes dissipating in the courtyard.

Lin Manhua: ......

"Stinky boy!"
