Because Pei Kaiwen had been going to the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy every day lately, Madam Pei chatted with Madam Yan at a banquet, praising Madam Yan's daughter in her words. Upon hearing this, the other ladies tacitly assumed that the Pei and Yan families were going to form a marriage alliance.

It just so happened that Ji Moyan took Gu Xiaobao to the Ocean World and did not attend the banquet.

By the time she found out, the news had already spread.

"Rou Rou is the daughter-in-law I've chosen. What does the Pei family mean by this? Are they trying to steal my daughter-in-law just because their son is in the capital?"

Ji Moyan was furious. She pushed Gu Qingyu toward the door and said, "Go and have a chat with that guy surnamed Pei. Tell him that Rou Rou is a member of our Gu family and that he should go cool off somewhere else."

What a terrible idea!

Gu Qingyu's eyes twitched twice. The old man of the Pei family was a terrible chess player, and he would never learn to play chess like the old man in his life.

But he couldn't argue with his wife, so he suggested, "When you have free time, go shopping with people. When they see you, they'll naturally connect her with your son. As for Xiao Bao, I'll take care of him."

Gu Yilou had already returned to the Gu family, so Gu Qingyu withdrew from the Gu family and returned home, living a relaxed and carefree life.

"I'm entrusting him to you? As long as he lives, that's all that matters?"

Ji Moyan rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Gu Qingyu disagreed with this statement: "What are you talking about? Look at the eldest, second, third, and fourth brothers, aren't they all very outstanding?"

"That's because they know their fathers are unreliable, so they work hard to succeed on their own. Otherwise, it would be like you, right?" Ji Moyan retorted, then turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Of course, these were all just words spoken in anger.

If Gu Qingyu wasn't good enough, Ji Moyan wouldn't have married him.

"..."

What's wrong with him?

She should finish what she has to say before she leaves!

But Gu Qingyu watched her hurried figure and didn't call her back. Judging from her posture, she was definitely going back to her room to get ready before going out to find the daughter-in-law she had chosen.

After all, they've been married for decades, so he knows her very well in this regard.

Gu Qingyu glanced at the time; there were still a few hours before he could pick up Xiaobao from school. So he took his fishing rod and went fishing at the artificial lake in the villa area.

As expected.

After dressing up elaborately, Ji Moyan went out with her bodyguards.

The destination was a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy.

It was two hours later when Yan Yirou saw Ji Moyan walk into the traditional Chinese medicine shop.

Because of the traffic jam, Ji Moyan calmed down after her initial anxiety.

She had the driver drive around the Chinese medicine pharmacy twice, finally managing to stall until after 5 p.m. before finally appearing at the pharmacy.

"Auntie, hello! What brings you here?" Yan Yirou immediately came out from behind the counter and made her a cup of herbal tea.

Ji Moyan looked at her with a smile: "I was just passing by and came in to see you."

"oh."

Yan Yirou, unsuspecting, handed her the flower tea, saying, "Auntie, please have some tea."

Ji Moyan's smile deepened, as if she were seeing her daughter-in-law's tea, and she happily accepted it.

Although the beauty's smile was very attractive, Yan Yirou felt something was a little strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she could only smile apologetically from the side.

Ji Mo Yan casually asked, "Rou Rou, what time do you usually get off work?"

Yan Yirou replied, "It's basically around five or six o'clock."

"So, we can leave now?"

Before she could speak, Ji Moyan continued, "I'm a little hungry and don't want to look at that stinky man at home. Would you like to have dinner with me?"

Yan Yirou was slightly taken aback.

Seeing her stunned expression, Ji Moyan retreated to advance: "Did I bother you? I'm sorry, you go ahead and do your work, I'm leaving."

"No!" Yan Yirou quickly came to her senses: "Auntie, where would you like to eat? I'll go with you."

Ji Moyan frowned and asked again and again, "Do you really have time? Don't let spending time with me disrupt your plans!"

The beauty frowned, her gentle expression almost unbearable to look at.

"I usually go straight home after work, I don't have any other plans. My aunt is treating us to dinner tonight, I can't wait!"

"Then let's go! Auntie will treat you to a big meal!" Ji Moyan was overjoyed.

When Yan Yirou went back to the counter to get her bag, that strange feeling came back again.

Could it be that Gu Chenye is back?

It shouldn't be.

He'll come to her himself when he gets back; he can't possibly have his aunt ask her out.

Auntie must have just happened to be passing by.

The traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy closes at nine o'clock in the evening. The people on night shift have been arranged every day, so Yan Yirou didn't need to say anything more. She picked up her bag and left with Ji Moyan.

Ji Moyan said she would take her out for a big meal.

That means you're having a real feast.

The restaurant she chose had a century-long history, and most importantly, it was owned by the Su family. The Su family matriarch was adept at social maneuvering, making it the preferred choice for many wealthy ladies.

Jimo Tobacco had booked a private room well in advance.

Separated by a screen, the surrounding furnishings all revolve around the word 'elegance,' creating a very comfortable atmosphere.

Yan Yirou used to be a regular here because she was on good terms with Su Tiantian.

However, ever since she changed her identity, Yan Yirou was afraid of being exposed, so she intentionally reduced her contact with her old friends and rarely came over.

Not long after Ji Moyan took her seat, Madam Su came over with a smile.

"Mrs. Gu, it's been a long time! You look younger and younger!" Mrs. Su praised with a beaming smile, her words conveying genuine warmth.

Ji Moyan chuckled and said, "Really? Maybe it's because I'm often with young people. Having a youthful mindset makes me look younger too."

A hint of doubt flashed in Madam Su's eyes.

Jimo cigarettes used to be so modest, what's going on today?
