After carefully dressing up, Jiang Mianmian looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but hesitate: "Am I too dressed up? Is it too much to pay so much attention to her?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tingxue quickly shook her head and explained softly, "How could that be? Mother, you might as well think about it carefully. The person you went to see this time is your future daughter-in-law.

He is your own son whom you feel deeply guilty about and whom you love dearly. If you don't take a cautious attitude this time, how can you show how much you value this matter?

The more gorgeous the clothes you wear, the more it shows how much you value this relationship, right?

After hearing this, Jiang Mianmian showed an expression of approval and nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Well, you are absolutely right!"

"Humph, I'm not dressing so formally because I think Wu Zhenmin is too beautiful and I'm worried that I'll be outshined by her!"

How could an experienced elder like me be so petty with a little girl?

[Besides, when I think back to the days when I was so stunning and beautiful, I wonder where Wu Zhenmin was!]

Jiang Mianmian stood in front of the bronze mirror, leaning forward slightly, looking left and right, carefully examining herself in the mirror.

Her face was as white as snow and as delicate as a baby's, with skin as delicate as silk and without any flaws.

Beneath her curved willow-shaped eyebrows, a pair of large, watery eyes were like deep lakes, bright and moving. Beneath her high nose bridge, her cherry-like mouth was naturally rosy, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised with a hint of a smile.

Looking at her well-maintained face in the mirror, Jiang Mian smiled. She was very satisfied with her current condition.

No matter from which angle you look at her, she looks like a peerless beauty in her youth, charming and beautiful, not to mention that she is also a wealthy woman with strong financial resources!

Although that scumbag died early, it must be said that he was not completely useless.

At least, he was generous to her and made a lot of money. Moreover, after his death, he left her a large inheritance.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but snort, secretly proud of herself: At least he still has some conscience, so all these years, it is not in vain that she has tolerated him.

"Let's go, I'm going to meet her today."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yunchen couldn't help but twitch his lips. He looked at his mother, who was dressed up in gorgeous clothes and looked elegant and graceful, and felt helpless.

After all, his adoptive mother had never had too high a pursuit of material life, and her daily dress and lifestyle were extremely simple.

In comparison, his mother's grand attire today really made him dumbfounded. For a moment, even he, the son, found it difficult to cope with it.

At this moment, Gu Yunchen suddenly felt that the scene before him seemed familiar. He subconsciously turned his head and his eyes happened to fall on Shen Xiujin, who was also wearing a dark purple dress not far away!

Shen Xiujin was dressed neatly and seemingly simply, but a closer look revealed the hidden details - the elaborately embroidered patterns on the collar and the faint golden threads on the cuffs.

But all of them show the owner's unique taste. Although they are said to be low-key, they actually seem a bit flashy.

Looking at Shen Xiujin's appearance, Gu Yunchen instantly understood the truth. No wonder he felt such a familiar feeling just now. It turned out... that it came from this!

To be honest, at times, Shen Xiujin, who grew up in front of his mother, does seem more like his mother's biological son than he does.

However, my mother is not as mysophobic as Shen Xiujin, but once she starts to nitpick, she can still make people very angry.

Even Gu Yunchen himself might not have realized that his attitude towards Jiang Mianmian and the Shen family is much more intimate than before.

He's even gotten used to complaining. Back then, he was completely different. Back then, he always had a stern face and didn't like to talk much.

Even when they were with their family, everyone had the feeling that Gu Yunchen was just dealing with them, as if he was doing a task that had to be completed.

Well, apart from Jiang Mianmian and Gu's parents who have recognized each other, it is likely that Gu Yunchen and the rest of the Shen family really regard this so-called "recognition of relatives" as a task that they must accomplish.

After all, this is a matter of everyone's own practical interests, so it is only human nature to be wary of each other and remain vigilant.

Gu Yunchen: “…”

Humph, do you think I’m a thief?

Although the Shen family is wealthy and powerful, I will never covet them!

Shen Xiuyan: “…”

...Alas, I am only a bastard, of low status, without any legitimate reason. So should I give in, or refuse to give in?

However, this matter made them feel unsure. Although the third child had always been filial, who knew if he could fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a biological son?

After all, their mother has always been a lavish spender. What if the third child has limited abilities and ends up not being able to support his mother?

Li Tingxue couldn't help but feel pity: "Oh, my husband is so miserable! He's been busy running around and working so hard for so long, but in the end, he might not get any benefits at all!"
