Chapter 176: He Is Going Out on a Blind Date

Beishi.

Ye Caiyue and Han Dongbei have already returned from their trip abroad.

Upon learning that Bai Shuruo was in Dali and even had a child, Han Dongbei and Ye Caiyue naturally felt heartache for Han Yangting.

A mother always sides with her son; Ye Caiyue said indignantly, "Ruoruo is truly muddled. It was rare for Yangting to wait for her for several years, yet she actually had a child with someone else. Yangting's sincere heart has truly been misplaced."

Consequently, her attitude toward Han Dongbei also took a 180-degree turn: "This is all the good work you've done. You said your illegitimate son wouldn't fight us for money or land, but what did he end up fighting for? He fought for his own brother's wife. This is an absolute blow to our family, and a huge blow to Yangting as well."

Han Dongbei said aggrievedly, "I didn't expect this either back then. Who knew that child would be so muddled? If I were him, I absolutely would not have approached Ruoruo."

Ye Caiyue said, "Stop being hypocritical. You definitely don't care. No matter whose child Ruoruo's child is, she is still your own granddaughter. For this period of time, don't talk to me!"

"I..." Han Dongbei was extremely aggrieved.

Having finally obtained Ye Caiyue's forgiveness and even gone on a trip abroad together, they found that upon returning, they were right back to where they were four years ago.

What a sin.

Ye Caiyue has been treading carefully when speaking to Han Yangting these past few days.

Ever since returning from Dali, Han Yangting has had an icy demeanor toward everyone.

Therefore, Ye Caiyue felt that if she and Han Dongbei were being affectionate at home, it would irritate Han Yangting.

This day, Ye Caiyue went to get beauty treatments with a group of sisters.

Among them was a sister named Liang Yulan who was close to her. Seeing that she had been feeling depressed, Liang Yulan asked her, "Caiyue, you don't seem happy being out this time? Didn't you just return from traveling? Did that one in your house provoke you again?"

Ye Caiyue said, "If that one in my house provoked me, that would be fine; I could just give him a scolding."

"Then what is it about?"

Family scandals should not be aired in public, so Ye Caiyue naturally refused to say, only stating, "Perhaps it's because of my son's marriage."

The fact that the Han Family's daughter-in-law ran away from home without a word several years ago is known to everyone in the circle.

Liang Yulan asked, "Your son still hasn't forgotten that woman? He is too devoted. Men are rarely like this; which man doesn't hope to have a house full of wives and concubines, wishing they could change wives once a year?"

Ye Caiyue said, "I actually wish he were more unfaithful, but his personality is like mine."

Liang Yulan thought for a moment and said, "I think Yangting just goes out too little, which is why he hasn't met anyone who moves his heart. How about this: in a few days, I'll organize a party and call over all our eligible young ladies. When the time comes, call your son over too; perhaps he'll see someone he likes."

Ye Caiyue said, "I'm just afraid he won't be willing to go."

Over these past few years, he has been single-mindedly waiting for Bai Shuruo and has indeed not had contact with other women. When matchmaking is mentioned, he just wears a cold face and is unwilling to see anyone.

Liang Yulan added, "Then you can try asking him. Regardless of whether he comes or not, I am going to hold this party. If he comes, the young ladies will likely be even happier. Don't look at the fact that your son is already 35; there are plenty of young ladies who want him."

Ye Caiyue said, "Then I'll go back and ask."

At home, Ye Caiyue knocked on Han Yangting's bedroom door.

Han Yangting said, "Please come in."

Ye Caiyue first saw her tall and handsome son. He must have just finished exercising and showered; he was currently handling work on the bed, with a half-drunk bottle of red wine placed by the bedside. There were no extra items in the room, making it appear cold and desolate.

Ye Caiyue couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

Recently, she could always see finished red wine bottles being cleared out of his room by the servants. The servants liked these bottles, saying the bottles were worth quite a bit and looked good for arranging flowers, so they hadn't thrown them away.

She couldn't help but walk in and ask, "Yangting, are you drinking again?"

Han Yangting said, "I had a little to refresh myself. Mom, is there something?"

Ye Caiyue sat down, not knowing how to bring it up for a moment.

Even if she brought it up, she would just be rejected.

However, thinking that Bai Shuruo had already had a child with Meng Ze, she had to bite the bullet and say, "Yangting, you remember Aunt Liang Yulan, right? She said she's having a party in a few days and wants to invite you over to have some fun."

Han Yangting paused.

Without needing to guess, he knew his mother was setting up a blind date for him.

In the past, he definitely would have refused.

However, today he said without hesitation, "Alright."

Ye Caiyue couldn't help but feel a jolt in her heart and asked in surprise, "Then you've agreed?"

Han Yangting nodded.

"Th-then I'll go tell Aunt Liang right now that you've agreed. When the time comes, you must make time to go; otherwise, everyone will be disappointed."

Han Yangting said, "I will definitely go."

The news that Han Yangting was going to attend the party spread like wildfire.

The young ladies in the circle without partners were all incredibly excited.

That was Han Yangting.

Although he was already 35 years old, he still looked very handsome, his physique hadn't gone out of shape in the slightest, and he was still the type who looked thin in clothes and had muscle when undressed. More importantly, there was his family status and background, as well as his Manor.

In the Beishi circle, some of the newly rich mostly lived in large villas, and even the largest ones only occupied a few thousand square meters. However, the Han Family had a Manor and a Castle.

Who wouldn't hope to be the mistress inside?

For a time, the young ladies who received the news all made preparations in advance, getting beauty treatments and ordering high-end evening gowns and jewelry, striving to show their most dazzling side to Han Yangting.

That party had originally only invited about 100 people, but 200 people actually showed up that night, many of whom were eligible young ladies from Beishi.

Fortunately, the venue Liang Yulan booked was large enough and she had made sufficient contingency measures, so she was still able to handle the reception with ease.

At 8:00 PM, Ye Caiyue and Han Yangting also arrived at the venue.

After Ye Caiyue arrived, she immediately became the target of her peers vying to curry favor. Many people pulled her aside to introduce their own daughters, nieces, nephews, or distant cousins.

Ye Caiyue also gasped.

She had thought many people would come, but she hadn't expected so many. Even a princess from a small country had come, along with several blonde-haired and blue-eyed foreign girls, and even two dark-skinned young women who flashed a mouthful of white teeth when they smiled. Even the well-traveled Ye Caiyue was taken aback.

She saw everyone's intentions and could only smile and say, "Let the young people handle the young people's affairs; we mothers cannot make the decisions, right?"

After Han Yangting appeared, bold young women came one after another to show their favor to him.

There were young women who wanted to help him tell his fortune, saying they wanted to see his palms.

There were young women who said they had personally made pastries and invited him to taste them.

There were others who wanted to play a game with him, guessing what she had in her left and right hands respectively.

Han Yangting did not keep a cold face as he had before, but was polite to everyone; facing the young women's advances, he was neither enthusiastic nor did he immediately refuse.
