Just as Fang Yuan was deep in doubt, the waiter led in the main characters of Fang Ma's banquet today.

"Oh! You've finally arrived! It's been so many years! You're still so young!" Fang Ma greeted her, hugged Aunt Qin, and said with a smile.

"You too! It's been over a decade, and you're still as beautiful as you were back then!" Aunt Qin said with a smile as well.

"Oh! This must be your daughter, right? She's even prettier than in the photos! Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan! Come over and greet your Aunt Qin!" Fang Ma said to Fang Yuan, who was standing there, not knowing what to do.

"Hello, Aunt Qin!" Fang Yuan pretended to be well-behaved. No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, he had to cooperate with his mother, or he wouldn't have a good time at home.

"Hello, hello! The little kid who used to run around the yard with a runny nose has grown up to be so handsome!" Aunt Qin held Fang Yuan's outstretched hand and carefully sized up the young man in front of her, then nodded with satisfaction.

Putting aside other things, Aunt Qin was quite satisfied with Fang Yuan's appearance.

"Hehe!" Fang Yuan scratched the back of his head, revealing a shy smile.

Fang Yuan would have been happier if the previous sentence hadn't been said. What do you mean by 'the little kid who used to run around the yard with a runny nose?' This sentence really made Fang Yuan a little unhappy.

It seems that this Aunt Qin is still the same as before, thinking that other children are not as good as her daughter.

However, Fang Yuan glanced at the girl standing behind Aunt Qin, and thought, 'Well! She's still the same as before, giving people the first impression that she should be the kind of princess living in a castle in a fairy tale.'

"Come, come, Shutong, this is Fang Yuan, he was our neighbor when you were little!" Aunt Qin pulled her daughter, who was 'hidden' behind her, forward.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Shutong!" Fang Yuan saw a trace of helplessness flash in the other party's eyes.

"Hello, I'm Fang Yuan! It's a pleasure to see you again!" Fang Yuan felt that they were both in the same boat, forced here by their mothers no matter what.

It's the New Year, so it's good if my mom is happy. Judging by this, nothing unpleasant should happen during dinner today.

The two exchanged glances, instantly reading the information contained in each other's eyes.

A confirmed look, they two should be people who have nothing to do with each other.

At most, they just came with their mothers to get to know each other.

Fang Yuan was relieved.

"You know, you've been gone for more than ten years, and you didn't even think about coming back to see us old friends!" After everyone was seated around the table, Fang Ma said to Aunt Qin.

"Oh dear! Don't mention it. I've been dealing with my husband's affairs overseas. Now that things have completely stabilized, we've come back! Otherwise, we wouldn't have stayed away for so many years!" Aunt Qin said with a proud look.

She doesn't know Fang Ba's current net worth, and probably thinks that even if the Fang family has developed well, it's not as good as her husband's development!

"How long are you planning to stay here this year?" Fang Ma quickly changed the subject. She knew her sister had no other faults, except that her mouth was too willing to show off.

"Well! My husband thinks that the domestic market environment is more promising than the US market. Plus, my Shutong is about to graduate. After going back to the US to handle some things after the New Year, we should move back to live here!" Aunt Qin said with a smile.

"You're moving back? That's great. We can be neighbors again in the future. Coincidentally, the house next to where we live is still empty!" Fang Ma said politely.

To be honest, she still values this sister very much.

After all, they have been in contact from university until now.

Even when Aunt Qin went abroad, this connection was never broken.

"That's fine too! When the time comes, you can send me the information about that house, and I'll go home and discuss it with my husband!" Aunt Qin said as if it was already decided.

Since it's already about houses, then it's no longer the previous residential building, it should be a villa or something.

It seems that during the time I was abroad, this sister has developed well too!

But judging from Fang Ma's temperament, the Fang family won't be bad. This is the temperament that can only be cultivated over time. Even Aunt Qin is a little lacking, after all, she has been a housewife for so many years, and all her temperament has been smoothed out by the years!

"Okay, it's settled then. When the time comes, I'll give you the relevant information!" No matter what, say the words first, and then I'll just give the other party the relevant information.

You should know that the entire villa area is built by Xinghai Real Estate. Don't even mention having empty houses, even if there aren't any, they will have to vacate one!

Toasts and exchanges, cough cough! Fang Yuan is the only man at the entire table, so where would there be any toasts and exchanges.

Fang Ma and Aunt Qin both drank some red wine. Fang Yuan and Zhou Shutong didn't even have red wine. They're still two kids, what wine are they drinking? Letting you drink juice is already giving you face because of today's occasion!

Fortunately, Fang Yuan has always been disgusted with things like alcohol. Besides making people numb, what other use is there?

Fang Yuan is young and hasn't suffered any harm, so he doesn't need this thing to numb himself at all.

Zhou Shutong is still like when she was a child, even showing a noble demeanor when eating.

It's a pity, girls like this are not my type at all, Fang Yuan knows this very well.

Judging from my situation, girlfriends and I have no fate, it's better for me to be a single dog, cough cough, a single aristocrat.

Fang Ma and Aunt Qin stopped and looked at the two people who were focused on the food. They looked at each other, and their many years of sisterhood played a decisive role at this time.

Wasn't the purpose of coming today to promote the relationship between these two little ones? We've already exchanged almost everything we need to exchange, and these two little ones have only said one sentence since entering the door!

Fang Ma kicked Fang Yuan under the table. After seeing Fang Ma's eyes, Fang Yuan didn't know what he had done wrong!

I'm already acting so well-behaved, and I'm still wrong?

Where did I offend my mom again?

Okay, no matter what, what Fang Yuan has to do is to look at Fang Ma with an admitting-defeat look.

Fang Ma shook her head. If she didn't understand her son, she would have suspected his sexual orientation.

For so long, except for that ambiguous girl in high school, my son has not shown any interest in girls.

Could it be that... Fang Ma quickly drove this terrible thought out of her mind. It's not that I discriminate against anything, but it's not okay if it's on my son!

"What is Shutong doing now?" Fang Ma helped her son open the topic.

"Ah?" Zhou Shutong, who was wrestling with the food, was stunned by Fang Ma's sudden question, holding her chopsticks and not knowing how to answer her.

"Oh dear! Don't mention it. My Tongtong is still studying for a Master's degree in Business Administration at Stanford this year. She should be able to graduate smoothly this time after going back!" Hearing this question, Aunt Qin's suppressed desire to show off was ignited again.

It goes without saying that a student who can graduate from Stanford with a Master's degree in Business Administration at the age of 22 is excellent.

Fang Yuan nodded after hearing this, looking like you are great.

Seeing Fang Yuan like this, Aunt Qin instantly became unbalanced. What does this mean? It's like an elder looking at a satisfactory junior.

"What is Xiaoyuan doing now?" Aunt Qin felt that she should teach this kid a lesson!

Who doesn't know who? Judging from Fang Yuan's appearance when he was a child, he was simply left eight hundred streets behind by my daughter. How good can he be now? He should still be worried about his undergraduate thesis!

"My Xiaoyuan is not good. Business administration or something is completely out of his fate! He just got a Ph.D. in Computer Science from MIT a few days ago, right?" Fang Ma said somewhat uncertainly.

I don't even know if my son's Ph.D. certificate has arrived. I haven't asked about this kid's school for a long time.

Now this kid is too capable of causing trouble. Even if I don't ask, I can quickly know about Fang Yuan's affairs by just browsing the news.

"What? A Ph.D. from MIT? Him? How is this possible? How old is he now? I remember it seems to be less than a month older than my Tongtong, right?" Aunt Qin couldn't believe her sister's words.

But after so many years of getting along, Aunt Qin still knows Fang Ma very well. She would not say things casually without being sure.

Zhou Shutong also showed an unbelievable expression, but soon seemed to understand.

"Are you that Fang Yuan? The one who just proved the BSD conjecture?" Zhou Shutong had heard her tutor mention this name before returning to China. No wonder she felt a sense of familiarity when she just heard the name Fang Yuan!

"Uh! If there is no one else here named Fang Yuan, it should be me!" Fang Yuan looked like this should be the case, making people dare not believe that he is the legendary Fang Yuan.

"What's wrong, Tongtong, do you know this kid?" Aunt Qin was a little curious that her daughter actually took the initiative to speak.

"It can't be considered knowing, or rather, I know him, but he doesn't know me!" Zhou Shutong explained.

Indeed, as of now, as long as people in the academic circle, regardless of which direction, are relatively familiar with the name Fang Yuan!

"Oh? Then this kid really has a Ph.D. from MIT?" Aunt Qin asked in a low voice.

"If he is really that Fang Yuan, then it should be right!" Zhou Shutong explained to her mother.

That's right! After hearing her daughter's words, Aunt Qin excused herself to go to the restroom and Baidu'd Fang Yuan's information.

This search was quite something; it completely shattered her burning desire to show off.

Is this something a 22-year-old child can achieve? Has Baidu become so unreliable these days?

Regardless of whether it's true or false, I should keep a low profile during this meal, or I'll be too embarrassed to face my friends if I fail to show off properly!

And so, after Aunt Qin returned from the restroom, she stopped showing off and quietly talked about her experiences over the years with Fang's mom.

The meal ended in this strange atmosphere.

After returning home, Fang's mom didn't take any action against Fang Yuan, but she entrusted the important matter of confirming Fang Yuan's orientation to her husband.

Although I am still young, the desire for a grandson can now be put on the agenda.

Now that my son has grown up, he's not as fun as he used to be. I urgently need a grandson to take over his father's role!
