The old lady was pruning the flowers and plants in the greenhouse, while the old man stood in front of a desk, holding a wolf-hair brush, writing furiously.

"Master, Madam, the young mistress has arrived." Aunt Mei walked in.

Madam Gu: "Her coming here can't be good news. Has something happened to A-Ye again?"

Aunt Mei laughed and said, "Indeed, nothing can be hidden from your eyes. Seventh Master and Miss Bai have gone public."

The old lady paused slightly while pruning the flowers, and Mr. Gu, who was standing in front of the desk, also reluctantly raised his head.

The expressions on the two elderly people's faces were inscrutable.

After a moment of contemplation, the old lady suddenly smiled.

“That’s great! It’s good that it’s public now. This way, my granddaughter-in-law can’t escape me.”

Old Gu nodded: "Yes, this kid has finally come to his senses."

Aunt Mei said, "I'm afraid the young mistress came to talk about this."

Old Gu put down the scissors in his hand: "Then let her in."

"yes!"

Aunt Mei pushed the door open, and a moment later, Qin Lin walked in.

She carried an exquisite box in her hand and walked towards Madam Gu with a big smile on her face.

"Dad, Mom."

"Not busy today?" The old lady sat on a bamboo rattan chair next to the flower bed, and Qin Lin sat down next to her.

She opened the box in her hand and handed it to Old Mrs. Gu.

"The weather is getting colder. You and Dad are getting old, so you need to keep your chests warm. This is a pair of warm clothes that I had my aunt personally order for you two. Do you like the color?"

Madam Gu wore a faint smile.

"You've put a lot of thought into this. The material feels so soft; it must be very comfortable to wear."

"I'm glad you like it," Qin Lin said with a smile.

The old lady picked up the teapot on the coffee table, poured two cups of tea, and placed one in front of Qin Lin.

Qin Lin picked up her teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and looked at Old Master Gu.

The old man was practicing calligraphy. He was usually taciturn, and every time she came, he would ignore her. Qin Lin didn't find it strange.

"By the way, Mom, has A-Ye come to see you two recently?"

Madam Gu sipped her tea: "I came by a few days ago, but I didn't even have time to eat dinner. I played two games of chess with the old man and then left in a hurry. Young people are busy building their careers, so it's not easy for us to see them."

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Ah Ye is already 27. He should have been married long ago. He's the only son in our main branch, and the Gu family line depends on him to continue."

"Yes, that makes sense. But marriage is a big deal and it also depends on fate. If the time isn't right, there's no use in others being anxious."

"You can't expect fate to fall from the sky, can you? With his personality, it's unlikely he'll find someone reliable on his own. In the end, I think I, as his mother, will have to worry about it."

Madam Gu put down her teacup, slowly turning the Bodhi seed prayer beads in her hand, her eyes filled with wisdom.

“Ah Ye and Qian Mo have been dating for a while now, and their relationship has been very stable. I think the two of them are a good match.”

Qin Lin chuckled dryly twice: "You probably don't know yet, do you? Today, the news about Bai Qianmo is all over the place. A female celebrity was murdered, and her diary was exposed, implying that Bai Qianmo was someone's mistress. Mom, tell me, how can a girl like that be allowed into our Gu family?"

"Lin, you're over fifty years old. When did you start believing news from the entertainment industry like this?"

When asked a question by Old Madam Gu, all the words Qin Lin had prepared got stuck in her throat.

“Mom, you can tell a person’s character from these news reports. How long has Bai Qianmo been in the entertainment industry? How many big news stories has she made in the past six months? Last time she was exposed for having a relationship with Shang Xingzhou, I turned a blind eye. At the time, I thought that since Aye and she hadn’t gone public, they might break up later. But today…”

Qin Lin was furious when she brought up the matter.

"Today, that kid A-Ye actually admitted his relationship with Bai Qianmo in front of the reporters. Isn't he just taking the blame for himself?"

Grandpa Gu, who had been silent until now, coughed once, but did not speak.

Qin Lin's heart skipped a beat.

The old man dotes on his grandson the most, so he must feel bad when she comes and scolds him.

Madam Gu glanced at the old man, her lifelong companion. With just one cough from him, she quickly understood what he meant.

"So, what brings you here today?"

"Our Gu family banquet is coming up soon before the New Year. I'd like to bring a girl to the banquet. She's Song Qing's goddaughter. You two can definitely trust Song Qing's judgment. Besides, I heard from Song Qing that A-Ye has a very good impression of his goddaughter. Perhaps the two of them will develop feelings for each other after spending some time together."

Madam Gu remained silent.

Qin Lin continued, "For a family like ours, the Gu family still values ​​matching social status. A-Ye is still young and thinks that marrying a girl he likes will bring him happiness. But aren't there many examples like that in wealthy families? How many of them have a happy ending?"

After a moment of contemplation, Madam Gu said, "Then let's do as you say. Even if it doesn't work out, we can still make a friend."

"Then it's settled." Qin Lin was overjoyed to have received the two elders' approval.

As long as the old man and old woman agree to meet that girl, she believes she will definitely be more likable than Bai Qianmo.

After Qin Lin left

Grandpa Gu put down his wolf-hair brush and came over.

"Nonsense! Seventh Brother and Qianmo have already gone public with their relationship, and she's still trying to set up other girls? What kind of behavior is that?"
