"..." After Mrs. Gu said this, Ji Zhinan really didn't know how to respond.

Gu Yibei twitched his lips speechlessly: "Mom, your imagination is good enough to be a screenwriter."

"You mean Mother is talking nonsense?"

Gu Yibei didn't answer, but his silence was tantamount to consent.

"You brat!"

The old people in China are right in saying that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. They also say that sons forget their mothers after they marry. Mrs. Gu agrees with this statement even more.

She hasn't even brought a wife home yet, but she's already protecting the son she's raised for so many years.

"Madam, Master."

At the critical moment, Butler He appeared and bowed respectfully at a ninety-degree angle: "Dinner is ready."

"Yeah." Gu Yibei responded lazily, and then he took Ji Zhinan to the restaurant, leaving Mrs. Gu alone.

————

At the dining table, Gu Yibei and Ji Zhinan sat on one side, while Mrs. Gu sat opposite them.

Seeing the empty wine glass beside her, Madam Gu narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "It's very impolite for the host to sit down at the table and not even pour the wine."

Butler He's expression changed, and he quickly apologized: "Sorry, Madam, I was so busy that I forgot."

As he said this, he hurriedly took the bottle to pour wine for Mrs. Gu.

"Put it down." Madam Gu looked at Ji Zhinan beside her son and said, "Miss Ji, you are my son's real girlfriend, whom I have acknowledged in front of me. Today is our first meeting. Shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Although Ji Zhinan also grew up in a wealthy family, there were not so many rules at the Ji family's dinner table, and she had never been exposed to aristocratic etiquette.

But since Mrs. Gu had said so, she quickly stood up and replied, "You're right."

Just as she was about to reach for the bottle, her hand was held by Gu Yibei.

The man remained expressionless and calmly replied, "My son hasn't had dinner with his mother for half a year. I should be the one pouring this glass of wine."

As he said this, he picked up the bottle and poured wine for Mrs. Gu.

Seeing her son protecting a woman like this, Mrs. Gu felt a little jealous: "According to Chinese rules, today is the first time you bring your girlfriend home. Your father is not here, so as a mother, I should help you check."

Gu Yibei placed the cup in front of her, then took Ji Zhinan's cup and continued to pour wine, nonchalantly replying: "You will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy your daughter-in-law's filial piety in the future. Today, it is your son who is filial to you."

“…” Mrs. Gu was speechless.

The meal went smoothly. After finishing her meal, Mrs. Gu returned to her room, changed into casual clothes and went for a walk in the back garden. This was her habit.

Ji Zhinan returned to her room. When she opened the heavy curtains, she saw a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the room and could just see Mrs. Gu walking in the back garden.

One has to admit that Mrs. Gu truly embodies the words "elegant" and "noble" with her strength. She is the most noble and elegant woman Ji Zhinan has ever seen. Every movement of hers reveals her extremely high cultivation, and elegance is engraved in her bones.

Her slender waist was held from behind, and the man held her tightly in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder.

The crystal chandelier in the house lit up, and the shadows of the two people were reflected on the window.

Gu Yibei lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "Are you still angry?"

“…” Ji Zhinan shook his head. Ever since he knew Mrs. Gu’s identity, the anger that had been gathering in his chest automatically dissipated.

After a while, Ji Zhinan said sullenly, "Your mother seems to dislike me very much."

Gu Yibei raised his eyebrows: "Do you care about her thoughts?"

“…” Ji Zhinan did not answer.
