Chapter 724: Meng Yunzheng Returns

As the analysis unfolded, the old lady felt that the Zhang family was genuinely seeking a connection with their Shu Yu.

Therefore, if the Zhang family married Shu Yu, there would only be benefits and no drawbacks.

Most importantly, Shu Yu was beautiful and intelligent.

After listening, Shu Yu could only feel a headache. "I've only met Zhang Ping'an two or three times at most. We've barely exchanged a few words. How can they talk about marriage?"

"What's wrong with meeting a few times? When I was betrothed to your grandfather, we only met once in private. We didn't even exchange a single word in front of the elders."

Shu Yu chuckled. "But grandmother, you know, I have young master Meng."

Meng Yunzheng, who was outside the door with a gloomy expression, suddenly brightened upon hearing this statement.

Even Zhao Xi, who was nearby, looked at him in surprise and asked in a nearly inaudible voice, "Have your matters already been made public? You and the old lady have even had a heart-to-heart talk?"

In fact, Meng Yunzheng hadn't expected it either. He curved the corners of his mouth slightly, not answering Zhao Xi.

The gleam in his eyes was bright enough to blind Zhao Xi.

However, in the next moment, his gaze shifted downward and he saw Meng Yunzheng tightly clenching his fist.

He was nervous!

Zhao Xi raised an eyebrow in surprise. This person, who had faced danger and enemies fearlessly, was now so nervous because of a single remark from Shu Yu?

Tsk, serves him right.

But Meng Yunzheng's personal qualities were indeed outstanding, and the old lady should be satisfied with him.

Little did they know that a cold snort came from inside the room. "Are you not ashamed? What do you mean by saying that you already have Meng Gongzi? Is he yours?"

"Grandma, it's just a matter of time."

Meng Yunzheng, who was outside, smirked silently.

The old lady was rendered speechless by Shu Yu's response. "You... How can you be so certain? What if something unexpected happens in between? Who knows what might happen in the future? Yes, grandmother admits that young master Meng is indeed excellent. He is handsome, skilled, and of good character. There's nothing to fault about him."

Zhao Xi's teeth ached. Grandma, do you only have eyes for one person? Isn't Ah Yun outstanding? Isn't he excellent?

But in the next moment, the old lady sighed. "But even with such an excellent person, it must have been cultivated from a young age. Without a family background, who can raise such a versatile person? What use is it for young master Meng to be interested in you? What if his family disagrees?"

"It won't happen!" Meng Yunzheng couldn't wait any longer and took a step forward, entering the main hall.

The old lady initially thought that it was Shu Yu who had spoken and was about to scold her for being naïve. But then she felt that something was off, and she suddenly turned around, only to see Zhao Xi and Meng Yunzheng standing behind her.

The old lady... she glared at Shu Yu. Did this troublesome child know they were outside all along?

It was embarrassing to have their private conversation overheard, although they hadn't said anything bad about him.

But Meng Yunzheng looked at the old lady with a serious expression and said, "Please rest assured, grandmother Lu. I can make my own decisions regarding my marriage."

The old lady raised her head, her face full of confusion. "What about your parents..."

"My mother has passed away, and my father cannot make decisions for me. I have a foster father who is a bodyguard. He has a straightforward personality and doesn't care about societal norms. Even if I never marry in my lifetime, he will respect my choice."

The old lady was momentarily stunned. Meng Gongzi had just revealed half of his family background, leaving her at a loss for words.

She had prepared many questions, but couldn't bring herself to ask any of them.
