During the meal, everyone had their own thoughts, and Zhu Susu was filled with hatred. As soon as she returned home, her face turned ashen, and she didn't say a word, filling the entire room with a suffocating atmosphere.

Seeing their mother's expression, Gong Moxuan and Gong Moting felt a chill run down their spines. They stood cautiously to the side, not daring to utter a sound for fear of angering their mother.

Gong Jun, already in a bad mood from being scolded by his father, felt even more irritated at the dinner table because he felt neither he nor his wife received the respect they deserved.

Just then, he caught sight of Gong Moxuan and Gong Moting standing timidly to one side, and his anger flared up instantly. He glared at Gong Moxuan and roared, "You brat, from now on, stay home and don't go out and mess around all day! Look at you, you've completely disgraced me!"

After scolding Gong Moxuan, Gong Jun, still furious, turned to Gong Moting and berated her, "And you! A girl like you, chasing after Yu Liang all day long, what kind of behavior is that! You better study hard and get into university next year, don't embarrass me!" Gong Moxuan and Gong Moting, the eldest son of the Gong family, lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound. Zhu Susu suddenly spoke up sarcastically, "Hmph, I don't know who these two kids took after, they have no ambition at all." Hearing this, Gong Jun's anger flared even more, and he yelled at Zhu Susu, "How dare you say that! Look at how you've spoiled the kids!" The two immediately started arguing, each refusing to give in. Gong Moxuan couldn't bear it any longer and mustered his courage to say, "Dad, Mom, please stop arguing, we'll try our best." But his words didn't stop them; instead, they made Gong Jun even angrier, and he raised his hand to hit Gong Moxuan. Zhu Susu quickly stopped them, gesturing for Gong Moxuan and Gong Moting to leave.

The Gong family was always noisy and restless, but Gong Moze didn't care at all. After all, he didn't live with them. He had been raised by his grandparents since childhood, so he had always lived in the old house.

After dinner, the old commander called Gong Moze into his study, inquired about his work, and discussed his family situation. When Gong Jun was mentioned, the old commander couldn't help but sigh.

Gong Moze understood that his grandfather had always held his father in high regard. However, his father had become increasingly confused in recent years, while his second uncle not only had a successful career but also took excellent care of his family. His grandfather said, "Ze'er, given your father's current state, as a junior, you should try to persuade him if you can." Gong Moze nodded, "Grandpa, I understand. I also hope my father can wake up soon." The old leader patted his shoulder and continued, "You should also get closer to your second uncle. He's a capable man; you can learn a lot from him." Gong Moze agreed, thinking to himself that his second uncle was indeed someone he could learn from. After leaving the study, Gong Moze prepared to return to his room to rest. Passing through the living room, he saw his grandmother sitting on the sofa, mending something with needle and thread. He went over and softly asked, "Grandma, what are you doing?" His grandmother smiled and said, "I'm sewing you a sachet for good luck." Gong Moze felt a warmth in his heart. He sat down beside his grandmother and chatted with her, feeling a surge of warmth and strength within him.

Grandma Gong held Gong Moze's hand and said, "Is there a girl you like? You're getting so old, you should find a wife. Grandma can still help you take care of the children!" Gong Moze blushed, scratched his head, and said, "Grandma, I want to focus on my career first. I'm not in a rush for relationships." Grandma persisted, "Your career is important, but you can't neglect your marriage. Look at you, so handsome and capable, you must have many girls interested." Then, Grandma's eyes lit up. "By the way, your Grandpa Yu's granddaughter, Yu Wan, is very pretty and a good match for you. Grandma, how about we set you up?" Gong Moze quickly waved his hand. "Grandma, I haven't seen Yu Wan in ages, and I don't have any feelings for her." Grandma was a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up again. "Then Grandma will keep an eye out for you. With our Gong family's excellent conditions, we're sure to find a good granddaughter-in-law." Just then, Grandpa came out of the study, smiling, and said, "Old woman, don't pressure the child. When the time is right, it will happen naturally." Grandma muttered, "I'm just eager to have a great-grandchild."

Looking at his grandparents, Gong Moze was deeply moved. He smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry. If I find someone suitable, I definitely won't delay. I'll bring them back for you to see as soon as possible!"

"Good, good, good..." Old Mrs. Gong smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits.

Gong Moze looked at her grandmother, and then she thought of Lin Jin. She wondered if her grandmother liked Lin Jin. She probably would, after all, she was such a good person!

Lin Jin, who was being thought of, was currently sitting leisurely in the space, enjoying an apple with relish. The outside world was extremely cold, so she did not hesitate to hide in the warm palace.

Not only that, she also sold all the fruits and vegetables she grew, reaping a considerable profit. These days, apart from helping several elderly men with their medical treatment, she spends almost all her time going out for leisurely strolls.

There were several libraries nearby, and Lin Jin was initially eager to explore them. However, a small requirement stopped her in her tracks—she needed a letter of introduction. Although she had Tsinghua University's admission letter, she didn't want to attract too much attention, so she ultimately only chose one of the libraries.
