Chapter 327: Urban Card-Drawing System (33)

Xie Yang's father felt that since his wife had passed away early and he only had one daughter, it would be heartbreaking to think of her being all alone after he was gone; she needed a companion so she wouldn't be lonely.

By urging her to find someone now, he could still vet them for her.

If she only thought to find a companion after he was gone, it would be fine if she found someone of good character, but what if she found someone with a kind face but a black heart, and let a wolf into the house?

Could he really jump out of his coffin in a rage and tear apart a son-in-law with the ambition of a wolf?

A movie was released a while ago about a husband who wanted to use his wife's newly inherited fortune to pay off gambling debts, and he actually plotted to take her to the seabed to feed the sharks.

There was also a news story about a husband who coveted his wife's property and tricked her into climbing a mountain only to push her off a cliff...

Every time he saw these things, Xie Yang's father felt a sense of trepidation and wished he could start arranging a partner for his daughter right now.

He had to keep his eyes peeled to find her a good man she could walk through life with, one who would never leave her.

Whether they were rich or not was secondary; the key was that their character had to pass muster.

Thus, he began to use his connections, mobilizing reliable people around him to pick a son-in-law for his daughter.

"President Lu, how about we set a date to take that young man you mentioned out for a round of golf?"

"Old Tang, I heard your youngest has returned to the country? Bring them out to meet sometime."

"Old Zhang,..."

Accidentally discovering her father's matchmaking crusade, Xie Yang: "..."

She assumed her father was in a rush to hold his grandchildren.

But she enjoyed her current single life; she could do whatever she pleased.

If she never met a suitable partner in her whole life, she wouldn't mind staying single until she was old, but Comrade Lao Xie would likely worry about such a large family business having no one to inherit it.

Actually, there was another way...

She had once seen an Artificial Womb on the Interstellar Plane, which meant machines replaced the mother's body to give birth; every female on the Interstellar Plane had one, which both liberated women and satisfied the desire of single groups to leave heirs for their families, allowing humanity to continue its lineage.

She had seen the news that a medical institution in the country had already initially developed an Artificial Womb, and it was only a matter of time before it became widespread.

Xie Yang totted up her little treasury, and Xie-not-short-of-money-Yang decided this would be her future investment direction!

Xie Yang's father did not yet know his daughter's thoughts at this moment; by the time he found out, he was already a grandfather, coaxed into constant happiness by two cute little princesses, and had no mind to worry about when his daughter would bring a partner home.

As for Xie Yang, she never married until she grew old in this life, dedicating her life's energy to her career—

The entertainment company she invested in developed into a massive entertainment empire; the property management company she invested in reached long-term cooperation with government departments—almost all talent apartments specifically requested her property company to move in.

The medical institution she invested in not only developed the most advanced Artificial Womb technology but also used cards she had drawn to improve in vitro fertilization technology, not only increasing the success rate but also further improving embryo selection technology to remove inferior genes like those for diseases.

The technology company she invested in launched new high-tech products every year—from small Life-Assisting Robots to large Super Intelligent Mechas that integrated defense, attack, transport, and rescue... making the motherland absolutely at the forefront of the world in this field.

Her investment returns were divided into three parts: one part donated to the national research department; one part donated to social welfare causes; and only the last part was the retirement security she kept for herself.

However, even if she didn't keep a single cent for herself, the dividends from Xie Group and the rental income from the properties under her name were enough to ensure she would never worry about food or clothing for three lifetimes.

In the year Xie Yang turned thirty-five, the "Super Intelligent Artificial Womb Instrument" she invested in was officially released.

The state issued relevant policies for single groups to apply for in vitro fertilization.

Xie Yang chose one from her pre-frozen high-quality eggs, combined it with super-quality sperm purchased from the world sperm bank, and gave birth to a pair of intelligent, cute, and exquisite granddaughters for the Lao Xie family.

Once this news came out, it shocked everyone inside and outside the circle.

The most surprised was none other than Han Yu's manager.

"Boss, she, she, she doesn't like you?"

Han Yu didn't speak.

Chen Mu scratched his head: "I thought she took over Galaxy Entertainment because of you, and at first I was worried she would try to have something happen with you... but if she really did go for you, we wouldn't be at a loss. The boss is young, rich, and beautiful; even if it were just a pure romance, you wouldn't be the one losing out. It's just that you shouldn't be caught by paparazzi and have them make up all sorts of nonsense on the internet... but I didn't expect..."

How could Han Yu have expected it?

He was not only shocked, but he also had a certain tangled, complicated emotion that the manager didn't have.

This was attributed to the manager whispering excitedly in his ear for years, saying things like "The boss is your fan" and "The boss definitely likes you," which, over time, made him believe it was true.

Every time he met or brushed past the boss in the company Elevator or other occasions, his mood was joyful and elated.

For this reason, he planned to choose not to renew his contract when it expired, set up his own studio, and then pursue her.

Who would have thought...

Thinking of this, he turned around irritably and retorted to the manager in a bad mood:

"You should eat less Salt in the future!"

Stop being idle and bored.

Chen Mu: "... Hey, where are you going? You aren't going to find the boss to argue, are you?"

Han Yu opened the door and left without looking back: "I'm going to register to apply for an Artificial Womb. I don't want to get married, but I want to be a dad!"

"!!!"

Is this guy crazy!

Xie Yang knew nothing about this.

She raised her daughters to adulthood, one taking over Xie Group and the other inheriting her industries, and she herself reached the age of knowing one's destiny.

After sending off her father, who had reached the end of his lifespan, she boarded a top-tier luxury yacht worth ten billion and began a round-the-world trip with no set return date.

As for Feng Xuanxuan, who had faded from her view thirty years ago and had long been forgotten, her life as a stepmother after marrying into a wealthy family formed a sharp contrast with Xie Yang's carefree life as a wealthy single woman:

Feng Xuanxuan became a mother of four at a young age, including one stepson and three biological daughters.

In order to give birth to a son and prevent the family property from falling entirely into the hands of her stepson, she had to drink fertility-inducing soups and son-bearing soups every month.

Even with all kinds of high-end nutritional supplements and health products, she still drank herself into a bloated, sallow-faced woman with dull skin.

On Xie Yang's sixtieth birthday, she was coaxed back to the country by her two filial daughters and her best friend's family with a mix of cajoling and pouting, and they opened a hundred tables at a six-star luxury resort hotel where the Xie Family held shares to celebrate her birthday.

Feng Xuanxuan's husband's company had some business dealings with a subsidiary of Xie Group and was also on the invitation list, but in terms of closeness, they were ranked at the ninety-something table.

Upon learning that Xie Yang was still unmarried, Feng Xuanxuan couldn't help but sneer: No matter how wealthy she is, what's the point of the daughters she had through an Artificial Womb Instrument being capable? She's still all alone.
