"Tianyi?" Tang Yumeng looked at the man in surprise and said, "You... how did you know I was coming back?"

"Auntie told me, so I came specifically to pick you up." The man walked over slowly, looking at Tang Yumeng with eyes full of tenderness, as if with an indescribable admiration. However, his gaze quickly shifted from Tang Yumeng to Lin Chuan. Especially when he saw Tang Yumeng constantly holding Lin Chuan's arm, the jealousy in his eyes quickly emerged, but his good manners prevented him from losing his temper. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Yumeng, aren't you going to introduce us?"

"I..." Tang Yumeng was slightly stunned, then she said, "He is my... fiancé! His name is Lin Chuan."

Hearing Tang Yumeng's introduction, Lin Chuan was also slightly surprised. Perhaps Tang Yumeng initially intended to say boyfriend, but changed it to fiancé at the last moment. However, upon hearing this introduction, Lin Chuan felt very happy.

"Hello." Lin Chuan stepped forward confidently to shake hands.

To his surprise, Xie Tianyi did not pay much attention to Lin Chuan. Instead, he looked at Lin Chuan's outstretched hand and smiled, "Hello."

Lin Chuan didn't mind, naturally withdrawing his hand, then dusting off his pants, he said, "We should hurry to catch the shuttle bus, otherwise it wouldn't be good to arrive at the Tang family too late."

As soon as he heard this, the man's face darkened instantly, but he restrained himself and instead said to Tang Yumeng, "Yumeng, are you taking him to the Tang family?"

"Yes!" Tang Yumeng nodded and said, "He's my fiancé, it's only natural for me to take him back."

"Do you think Uncle and Auntie will agree to this marriage?" Xie Tianyi immediately asked.

"Tianyi, of course, my marriage is for me to decide." Tang Yumeng smiled and said, "Not my parents. I've told you before, my marriage, my destiny is in my own hands, not arranged by the family."

"Your dad is seriously ill now, are you here to comfort him or to upset him?" Xie Tianyi simply brought up Tang Yumeng's father.

"Xie Tianyi, are you threatening me?" Tang Yumeng frowned, looking displeased.

"No, no!" Xie Tianyi quickly shook his head and said, "I came to pick you up today, not to threaten you. Come on, get in the car. I'll drive you back."

Tang Yumeng was slightly stunned for a moment. She looked up at Lin Chuan with a questioning gaze. At that moment, Xie Tianyi felt somewhat dejected, genuinely from the heart, because from Tang Yumeng's eyes, he could tell that her love for Lin Chuan was real, not just a charade. Just one look made Xie Tianyi understand a few things.

"Forget it, we'll take the shuttle bus, let's not trouble others." Lin Chuan smiled.

"Alright!" As soon as Tang Yumeng heard this, she was overjoyed. Her previously hesitant look immediately became playful. She gave Lin Chuan a mischievous glance, giggling, "Tianyi, you can go back. Lin Chuan and I will take the bus ourselves."

With that said, the two quickly got into the shuttle bus that was about to close its doors.

Watching the two get on the shuttle bus, Xie Tianyi felt a bit frustrated. However, his good upbringing kept him from getting angry. Xie Tianyi was slightly stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around, got into his car, and drove away through the VIP exit.

On the shuttle bus.

Lin Chuan's lips curled into a wry smile and he said, "Do you think he might be furious?"

"No, he won't." Tang Yumeng laughed, "You think everyone has a fiery temper like you?"

"So, you're saying you don't like me?" Lin Chuan asked.

"How dare I." Tang Yumeng giggled, "I've already told Xie Tianyi that you're my fiancé. How could I dare dislike you? If I disliked you, you might leave me. Then I'd be lonely and helpless."

"Silly, how could I bear to leave you?" Lin Chuan chuckled.

Tang Yumeng hugged Lin Nanchuan tightly.

"By the way, who is this Xie Tianyi?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Him?" Tang Yumeng smiled, then said, "He's the eldest grandson of the Xie family, the future heir of the Xie family, and also the son-in-law my parents are satisfied with. In Beijing, many people think that I am Xie Tianyi's girlfriend."

"I see." Lin Chuan suddenly realized and said, "No wonder he looked at me with such a sense of rivalry."

"Hehe!" Tang Yumeng giggled.

After getting off the airport shuttle bus, the two flagged down a taxi to head to the city center. The place Tang Yumeng wanted to go was the second ring road, the very heart of Beijing, where property prices are the most exorbitant, to the point of being astonishing. Eighty or a hundred thousand per square meter is considered cheap, with many places being over a hundred thousand per square meter. The property prices here are so high they leave the average person speechless.

Beijing, Second Ring Road. Prince's Mansion.

This is a high-end villa area. The security in the neighborhood is equipped with real guns and ammunition. You must have a pass to enter, otherwise, entry is strictly prohibited. Taxis must undergo searches to enter, are given a pass at the entrance, and are only allowed to stay for ten minutes, plus, the vehicle must have a resident of the neighborhood on board. Otherwise, taxis are not allowed inside.

Prince's Mansion.

This place was once the residence of a prince during the late Qing Dynasty. Later, due to war, the mansion was destroyed, but the name was retained. It was then purchased and redeveloped by a prominent real estate developer who bought the large area of Prince's Mansion land and constructed this expansive high-end villa area. There are about fifty villas inside, with each villa occupying a large lot. The smallest is at least two acres. The largest is seven or eight acres.

The car arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood, the security saluted and then thoroughly searched the car. A imported inspection device carefully scanned the car, and after ensuring there were no explosives or anything of the sort, they allowed entry.

"The villas in Prince's Mansion are really expensive," Lin Chuan clicked his tongue and said, "It seems your family is really incredible."

"Young man, you just don't understand, do you?" The driver beside them said with a smiling face, "People who can live in Prince's Mansion are all the nobles of Beijing. Those nouveau riche coal bosses don't even have the qualifications to live here. Most of the residents here are from local families in Beijing. We can almost say without exaggeration that nearly half of Beijing's aristocracy lives here. I think this young lady seems familiar, I wonder..."

"We're here!" At this moment, Tang Yumeng spoke up.

The driver hit the brake, poked his head to look out the window, took a deep breath, and said, "Tang... the Tang family?"

"Thank you, sir, keep the change." Tang Yumeng handed over two one-hundred bills.

Then, Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng got off together, leaving the driver dumbfounded at the villa entrance. He suddenly awoke, "Oh dear, how could I take... take money from the eldest daughter of the Tang family? Am I out of my mind?"

Just as the driver was ready to return the money, the villa gate opened, and a man dressed like a butler in black clothes opened the door, welcoming Tang Yumeng and Lin Chuan with a face full of smile: "Miss, you're finally back."

"Uncle Liu, I'm sorry for coming back late." Tang Yumeng choked up.

"No, it's not late." The butler hurriedly said.

The driver was left dumbfounded.

This is the king of villas in Prince's Mansion, occupying eight and a half acres. It's a full two to three thousand square meters. The entire villa has front and rear gardens, rockery, a swimming pool, and most importantly, there is an inner river designed and crafted by foreign artisans. All the water is pumped from groundwater, then circulated around the entire villa via a meticulously designed system by artisans, which not only irrigates all the flower and garden plots in the villa but also serves as the water source for the two swimming pools.

Lin Chuan entered the villa's garden, with beautiful flowers blossoming on both sides. The pretty flowers swayed in the wind, and on both sides of the path, two rows of green cypress stood tall, conveying a sense of majesty. Ordinary people coming in might feel uneasy. However, Lin Chuan didn't. Instead, he felt that the scenery here was quite nice. But compared to the General's Mansion, this villa seemed to be no match. The old General's residence was once a prince's mansion during the Qing Dynasty, with a much larger area. Compared to the eight and a half acres here, the prince's mansion clearly had more historical heritage, and the flora and fauna inside appeared more precious.

However, owning such a luxurious large villa within the Second Ring Road shows how powerful and wealthy the Tang family is in Beijing.

"Xiao Yu, your family couldn't be the Tang family in Beijing, could it?" Lin Chuan asked with a frown.

"Yes, you could say that." Tang Yumeng nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Chuan glanced at Tang Yumeng and said, "You should have given me a heads-up."

"What do you need to prepare for?" Tang Yumeng asked.

"Mental preparation," Lin Chuan chuckled.

"Hehe, it's not too late to prepare now." Tang Yumeng giggled.

"The Tang family is so powerful in Beijing, and you're actually the eldest daughter of the Tang family, oh dear, my rustic self..." Lin Chuan lamented.

"What? Regretting being with me now?" Tang Yumeng coldly questioned.

"Of course not!" Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "I just realized how oblivious I've been. By the way, is your dad Tang Guohua? A central big shot."

"So, you better not bully me in the future," Tang Yumeng lifted her chin, wearing an air of superiority.

"How could I bear to bully you?" Lin Chuan hugged Tang Yumeng and said, "I couldn't cherish you enough."

"Sweet talker, you weren't like this before." Tang Yumeng laughed. Although Lin Chuan was sweet-talking, Tang Yumeng really liked this side of Lin Chuan. Maybe it's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Tang Yumeng felt Lin Chuan was the most handsome man in her eyes.

The butler continued to lead the way ahead, not disturbing the world of these two young people. As a butler, he had reached an expert level, knowing what to ask and what not to ask.
