When Rong Mo arrived in the capital, she found out that Granny Shang wasn’t sick at all.

She was feigning sick as an excuse to trick Shang Mo home for a matchmaking session. There was a grandly dressed woman with a purple dress that hugged her bosom. Her snow-white skin was covered with a faint makeup as her long hair rested gently against her back, looking beautiful and mesmerizing without the need for any accessories.

Rong Mo did not know whether Shang Mo had guessed this from the start and hence the reason why he said that granny wasn’t severely sick and merely needed someone to accompany her.

Since granny tried to trick him home, he tricked Rong Mo home instead.

As for the issue of granny wanting Shang Mo to get married while he himself didn’t want to, that was something that no outsider could help with.

Looking at Granny Shang trying to make repeated calls furiously, Rong Mo merely felt helpless.

“Ah Mo, I’m going to be 70 in two years’ time! You’re not intending to let me have a look at my great grandchildren while I’m alive?” Granny Shang barked.

She could recall how Shang Mo had told her when he was 18 that she would definitely be able to see her great grandchildren before he was 25.

But now that he was almost 30, she hadn’t even seen a single girlfriend of his, let alone great grandchildren. She did not know if she would be able to see them enter this world during her lifetime.

“Granny, you’re going to live till 100.” His meaning was clear – there’s no rush.

In reality, Shang Mo did not know how he should tell his granny that he hadn’t considered anything about marriage at all nor was he the type to want to get married. If he wanted children in the future, there were tons of women who would bear one for him too.

His nonchalant attitude had Granny Shang flying into a rage.

In the phone, she lashed out at him endlessly. “Don’t be so happy go lucky! If you’re not getting married, I don’t want to live for even a single year more!”

“Granny.”

“No, don’t call me! I’ve already been worried for you for almost 30 years now and I don’t want to go on for another 30, chasing after your ass daily for you to get married! 30! You’re going to be 30 soon! Do you still think that you’re a young hunk or something and you can hold out for another couple of years more?! I don’t care, Shang Mo! If you don’t have a partner that you can marry, you can forget about coming home!”

Granny Shang was truly getting impatient.

All the boys around Shang Mo’s age already had children that could talk and yet here he was, without a single girlfriend just yet.

Within the circle, all the eligible bachelorettes refused to discuss more when the name Shang Mo pops up. Within such a large circle, there were just a few that were even willing to try and get along with him.

For example, the girl present today – be it in terms of looks, family background or character – was definitely the cream of the crop.

But in the end? He flew abroad with a single word ‘work’ as an excuse.

This child! He cannot live life merely concerned about himself. As the successor of the Shang Family, other than managing the company, he also had an important task – to get married and have more children that could inherit the legacy of the Shangs.

Recently, Shang Mo was already on the brink of questioning his entire life because of Rong Mo and just as he was being bothered, granny was trying to force him to get married.

“Granny, I promise you. I’ll definitely get married before I’m 40, alright?”

“Before 40?” Granny Shang nearly fainted from anger. “No! 30? You had better get married before you’re 30! Otherwise, I’m going to use the Weibo of our Shang Family to declare that our kinship is severed!”

Shang Mo: “...”

He was going to be 30 next year! How was he going to find someone to get married with in less than a year!

He wanted to negotiate with granny but the phone was already hung up from the other end.
