Tao Wanqing saw this and covered her lips with a smile. The old lady clearly wants a granddaughter-in-law more than anyone, yet she proudly refuses to admit it.

She was much more excited and thrilled when watching the live stream.

"Oh my, if you want it, just admit it. There’s no need to be shy; I also miss Xiao Ran very much."

"Stop talking nonsense," the old lady remained defiant.

"I’m not talking nonsense; everything I said is true. Xiao Ran is a clever and understanding child, she acts appropriately and is neither servile nor overbearing, it’s hard not to like her. Mom, don’t you think Qi Yuan is really lucky?"

"Otherwise? Just look at your son, that wooden block, how could Xiao Ran be interested in him?"

Tao Wanqing nodded in agreement, "Exactly, your grandson is so clueless about romance, deservedly single for so many years, only Xiao Ran is kind-hearted enough to pity him."

The old lady snorted proudly, "Of course, Xiao Ran is the granddaughter-in-law I chose at first glance." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Xiao Ran is indeed wonderful; it’s all thanks to your discerning eyes, Mom. At first, I was worried that Xiao Ran’s family background wasn’t good enough and being with Qi Yuan wouldn’t be easy..."

Upon hearing this, the old lady frowned, looking at her daughter-in-law, "Since when did you start following those feudal ideas? Judging people by their family background instead of their own qualities? Can a good family background really be more important than your son’s happiness?"

While wealthy families care about backgrounds, they value ability even more.

After all, no matter how good the background, if someone is mediocre and incompetent, the end of the road will come eventually.

Tao Wanqing’s eyes grew cold, "Of course, nothing is more important than my son’s happiness!"

The old lady squinted slightly, seeing her demeanor, "What’s happened?"

Tao Wanqing’s eyes flickered, and after a long pause, she sighed lightly, "A few days ago, Beichen went back to the Fu family old residence, and Dad talked to him about some matters."

"What did he say?"

Tao Wanqing sneered, "Dad said he found someone with a suitable background who matches the Fu family, can help Qi Yuan, and stabilize the Fu family’s foundation as a wife."

Upon hearing this, the old lady’s face darkened instantly, "Oh? So who did he choose?"

Tao Wanqing didn’t answer, but she didn’t need to; the old lady knew exactly who Old Master Fu had in mind.

She sneered, "Seems I’ve given that old man too much face, so he’s really taking himself seriously. Who does he think he is to meddle in my grandson’s and granddaughter-in-law’s affairs?!"

When she was young, the old lady was quite temperamental, a figure of note in Yong City. Although the years have mellowed her considerably, her character hasn’t changed.

When she gets angry, even the young Old Master Fu would have to give way, and no one in the Fu family dared to provoke her.

"I don’t think Dad will compromise so easily, Mom. Should we just tell Dad about the marriage certificate between Xiao Ran and Qi Yuan to deter him?"

The old lady snorted coldly, "Don’t you know that old man’s character by now? He’s rigid and stubborn, prioritizing Fu’s above all else, and it’s not necessarily good to tell him about Qi Yuan and Xiao Ran’s marriage certificate now."

"Then what should we do? Are we supposed to watch as Dad ruins the happiness of the young couple?"

Anyway, for this lifetime, the only daughter-in-law she acknowledges is Xiao Ran; no others stand a chance!

"He wouldn’t dare! He won’t exchange Qi Yuan’s life for Fu’s so-called hundred-year prosperity!" The old lady’s expression remained stern, and the marks of age couldn’t conceal the sharpness between her brows, "What did Beichen say?"

"Beichen said Qi Yuan can handle it himself."

"Hmm, we must also have faith in Qi Yuan; no matter what he does, we will support him."

Tao Wanqing sighed lightly; of course, she believes in her son, but as a mother, concern inevitably clouds her judgment. Her heart aches for the two children, as they had already experienced hardship when they were young, and she doesn’t want her son and daughter-in-law to go through the same experience.
