I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 668 - 410: Idea, Contrast, Jia Yi and Jia Xin
Tang Lixiang hurried over to soothe her: "Liping, you mustn't think like that. Lulu has been spoiled by me and now she speaks without thinking. She'll regret what she said earlier and realize she was wrong."
Seeing that Tang Liping was still frowning, she quickly walked to Dai Lu's bedroom door and knocked loudly: "Dai Lu! Get out here! How can you talk to your aunt like that? Also, which man could possibly meet those criteria you mentioned? Are you daydreaming because you didn't sleep well last night?"
Tang Lixiang made sure to speak loudly on purpose, especially since she was quite satisfied with the match she had introduced this time. It wouldn't hurt for Liping to pretend a little.
After all, Lulu has outshone Jia Yi for so many years, from studying to graduating and then to working. Now that Jia Yi has finally made headway by marrying into a good family, how could she resist showing off?
Of course, her own daughter had indeed gone too far. Even if you disagree, even if you don't want to go on blind dates, there's no need to make such definitive statements, right?
The elderly mother was heartbroken, knocking firmly on the door several times, scolding at length, and then taking Tang Liping's hand: "Liping, please don't blame your niece for this. I'm also to blame for indulging her all these years."
Tang Liping said with a stern face: "Sister, it's not that I want to criticize you, but she's not getting any younger. You should push her a bit; otherwise, are we really going to wait for her to find a match in her thirties or forties?"
Tang Lixiang nodded: "Yes, I'll work on changing her mind later on. Let's not cook at home tonight, let's go out for dinner instead."
"That works. Invite Lulu along as well."
Tang Liping quickly shook her head: "Why invite her? She's so insensitive. Just let her go hungry."
"Alright, then ask her later if she wants to take away."
"Okay."
As Tang Lixiang was leaving with her things, she suddenly had an idea: "How about this, Liping. Isn't Jia Xin occasionally in touch with Lulu? Let's just have Jia Xin arrange a get-together for the young people to play and see each other. That way, it won't be considered a blind date, and Lulu might be less resistant to it."
Tang Liping nodded: "That's a good idea. I'll talk to Jia Xin about it."
"Mhm mhm."
Standing in the elevator, Tang Lixiang sighed internally. Her daughter's marriage was like a thorn in her heart, and she wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully without it being resolved.
Especially during the holidays, when everyone else's children are married with their own children, enjoying noisy family reunions.
The only exception was their Dai family, seemingly sparse; people might think it was because Lulu couldn't get married.
People fear comparison, and seeing Jia Xin's daughter Jia Yi marry so well, often showing off kids, cars, and houses on social media.
That house was huge, at least twice the size of the one her daughter bought.
Liping consequently held her head high. Ever since that wedding, she seemed to stand straighter and speak with more confidence.
Being someone who loves to show off, Liping often brags about the things Jia Xin's husband buys for her, and how wonderful Jia Xin's husband is.
Over time, already worried about her daughter's marriage, Tang Lixiang became increasingly anxious, so this time she came to "force an ultimatum."

In the bedroom, Dai Lu was rolling around under the covers.
"So annoying, so annoying!"
After venting for a while, her desires to share with someone drove her to instantly think of her best friend, so she picked up her phone and called Lin Yuchang: "Yuchang, *sobs* my mom is pressuring me to go on a blind date again, it's so annoying, I knew she didn't come with good intentions."
Lin Yuchang's laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Hahaha, what kind of match did your aunt find for you this time? Tell me about it."
Dai Lu lifted her chin: "You know, you dare to laugh at me! This time it's a doctor who's returned from overseas, I heard his family is well-off, and his dad is a hospital executive."
"That sounds like a pretty good prospect."
"Good, yes, but it just feels weird and uncomfortable. You... you probably understand."
"Okay then."
Lin Yuchang knew Dai Lu meant that because of Shen Yuan, going on blind dates felt morally uncomfortable. She went on to say: "Your aunt is just worried about you not getting married. Don't resist the idea too much."
Dai Lu replied gloomily: "How can I not resist? Today she brought my aunt over directly. I've told you about my aunt before, haven't I? She loves to show off her son-in-law, always talking about how big his house is, how expensive his car is."
"Some people are like that. Personally, I suggest you just meet him, and after that tell them you don't like him," Lin Yuchang said.
Dai Lu shook her head: "If I say I'm not satisfied this time, they will surely arrange another one next time. When will it end?"
Lin Yuchang thought for a moment: "Then... I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I should say it."
"Go ahead."
"How about having Shen Yuan pretend to be your boyfriend?"
"Hmm? That's a good idea."
Dai Lu had unconsciously set those criteria to match Shen Yuan's when speaking with her aunt.
This kind of top-tier, wealthy, and handsome man is unsurpassable, even by ten overseas-returnee doctors.
"As long as I have a boyfriend, they won't force me into blind dates. Of course, there's another problem—they will start pressing me to get married."
"But you could give them a heads-up, saying you both have agreed to date for at least three years before considering marriage."
"Besides, Shen Yuan needs me for something, so he has no reason not to help me."
Dai Lu clenched her fist lightly: "Makes sense. Let's do it!"

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan was driving his G63, taking Lih Meng to the airport.
Lih Meng in the passenger seat, holding the contract folder lovingly, was bubbling with joy: "Got a car, got a car, from now on I can drive my own car to and from work~"
