Chapter 37 Madam Gong

Chapter 37 Madam Gong

Gong Xinyi's smile was exceptionally charming, with dimples on both sides of his mouth, neither too deep nor too shallow, neither too big nor too small, adding the perfect touch to his stunning visage.

But even his charming smile couldn't cheer up his grandmother.

"You realize it's been a long time? I thought you had forgotten about this old lady with your days away!" Madam Gong looked at her grandson with a mix of love and frustration, slowly standing up.

"How could I forget about Grandma? I was raised by you, after all!" Gong Xinyi quickly supported Madam Gong, "Grandma, please, just speak your mind. There's no need to stand; take your time and sit."

"I've been sitting for an hour now, my back hurts!" Madam Gong glared at her grandson, full of grievances.

She asked irritably, "How old are you this year?"

"Twen...twenty-eight..."

Gong Xinyi was puzzled, wondering if his grandmother was having memory issues, not even remembering his age.

Oh no, could Grandma be developing dementia?

"Twenty-eight, you're twenty-eight!" Madam Gong banged on the table angrily.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Gong Xinyi was completely baffled, not understanding why his age would make her angry.

Was there something terribly wrong with being twenty-eight?

"When will you settle down personally?" Madam Gong knocked on the table emphatically.

"No, this isn't just your personal issue anymore; it's a problem for the entire Gong family. In the past, not settling down would have been a grave sin...

The Gong family is already lacking in members, with each generation having fewer descendants, and here you are, the only heir, nearly 30 and without even a girlfriend. Do you want the Gong family line to end with you? Huh?"

"Uh..." Gong Xinyi was at a loss for words.

He thought there had been some significant issue at home, but it turned out his grandmother was anxious about his marital status.

"Grandma, don't be angry. I've been busy with work lately, you know, 'establish a career before starting a family'..."

"Nonsense, it's 'start a family before establishing a career'!"

Madam Gong slammed the table, infuriated, "The Gong family is already well-off; what career do you need to establish? Just keep the company from problems! Hurry up and get married, find a wife immediately, and continue the family line in the shortest time possible! Give an account to our ancestors!"

"Grandma..." Gong Xinyi was extremely troubled; he had no interest in marriage.

"How come you just don't get it?" Madam Gong extended a finger and pressed hard on Gong Xinyi's forehead.

"If you had half the EQ of your cousin Zhou Tian, you wouldn't still be without a girlfriend at this age. Zhou Tian, about your age, has had one girlfriend after another. If it weren't for contraception, his offspring would be all over the world by now..."

"Grandma, he's a womanizer, a scoundrel. You want me to learn from him?" Gong Xinyi's expression was full of disgust upon hearing this person's name.

"Grandma isn't asking you to learn to be fickle but to learn how he pursues women!"

"Is that something you learn?" Gong Xinyi frowned, "Isn't romance supposed to be about fate?"

"Fate, my foot..."

Madam Gong poked her grandson's forehead again, "With your status as the head of the Gong family, if you don't make the first move, which woman would have the courage to pursue you?"

"But that requires time, right? I have to find someone I actually like to pursue," Gong Xinyi defended himself.

"Time? If I don't push you, you'd drag this on forever!"

Saying so, Madam Gong opened her purse and took out a stack of photos of beautiful women.

She spread the photos out on the office desk, introducing them one by one.

"This is Zhao Furong, the third daughter of the Zhao Corporation, only 22 years old, just graduated from university. This age is the prime for childbirth. Her mother is a twin, and she herself is the youngest of triplets. This excellent genetic makeup is the top choice for continuing the family line. Marrying her, our Gong family will soon flourish..."

"Grandma!" Gong Xinyi really wanted to escape immediately.
