The Lee family members who did not gain too many benefits from the meeting promptly ended the gathering.

Old Madam Zhang along with her son, his wife, and her grandson sent Elder Lee 's family off. When they returned to the family mansion, they all sat together in the living room.

During the meal earlier, zhang hyang, who remained silent throughout practically the entire gathering, was now having problems holding back. Although she was scared of old Madam Zhang, there were some things she had to ask. So, she carefully chose her words, "Mum, why are you so happy today?"

Knowing what her daughter-in-law was thinking, old Madam Zhang did not beat around the bush. "You're asking why I gave so many betrothal gifts to Myeon?"

When dealing with old Madam Zhang, Hyang always had a fear of her. Every glance old Madam zhang sent her way would make her heart beat faster, "No, it's just, it seems that mum has high regards for that Suho ."

"Hm, I do like that child, Suho a lot. Although he's quite young, but he is very stable, has a good disposition, intelligent and those good looks. He's very compatible with Yixing."

"But, he is a boy after all."

"You mean, suho and Yixing are both male; although they're getting married, it would not last long, and that giving Suho that many gifts would be a big waste, is it?"

"Mum, that's not what I meant. I just think that two men getting together...it's not a long-term plan after all. You know Yixing's temper, plus he didn't seem to like men. Forcing them together is not a good plan in the end. Till then, the Zhang family's loss might be a minor issue, but our reputation would be affected."

"How did you know that Yixing did not like Suho ?"

"Ah?"

Old Madam Zhang ignored her daughter-in-law, "Guo, do you have the same thoughts as well?"

Zhang Guo: "Yes, mum. Can you explain?"

"Why? Did you think there's a story behind all this?"

"Hm. Otherwise according to mum's personality, you wouldn't have given that big of a surprise on the first meeting. Although Suho was indeed a very nice child, he's not that excellent."

Old Madam zhang chuckled at her son, "Indeed, like what you've said. Suho is a good child, but your mother isn't a silly old woman. Dealing with a child that we've just met, I'm not so childish to think that giving all that benefit would make him loyal to Yixing."

"Then, why did you...?" Zhang Guo blinked his eyes, "Was it because of...the Kim family?"

Old Madam Zhang nodded her head in agreement. "Hm, it is indeed because of the Kim family."

Zhang hyang looked at her mother-in-law puzzledly. "So what mum meant was, Kim Junmyeon 's maternal grandparents' family?"

Zhang Guo continued, "Hyangyang, the zhang family and Kim family are long time friends. When my father was around, he was like brothers with the Kim family's old man."

"But, according to what I know, Suho 's mother had already severed ties with the Kim family when she married his father. Then, mum, why are you doing this for?"

"Although Suho 's mother had already severed ties with the Kim family, no one knows what would happen in this world." Old Madam zhang smiled mysteriously. "Perhaps, there might be some changes soon, you'll never know."

"But, mum, what has that got to do with the betrothal gifts you're giving?"

"Back when your grandfather was a young lad, there were some problems with Zhang Enterprise. It was thanks to old man Kim back then who gave us a hand that saved him and the Zhang family. The favor we owed back then, I want suho to receive it."
