Afraid that Ji Zhinan would think too much after hearing what they said, Maureen quickly spoke to comfort him.

"Nannan, Auntie, don't let you think too much. In my opinion, their daughters are not that outstanding. If you had grown up among the nobility, they would be far behind you."

"I've met so many noble ladies, most of whom rely on their family's glory to show off. There are zero who are truly capable and have the ability to please me."

Maureen looked at Ji Zhinan and asked seriously, "Do you know why Auntie likes you?"

Ji Zhinan thought about it and shook his head.

She really didn't know why Maureen liked her.

"Because you are a very ambitious girl."

“…”

The answer to the question was obviously beyond Ji Zhinan's expectations, and she was stunned for a moment.

Maureen continued, "You certainly don't have a good family background, and you don't even have the same outstanding abilities as my son, but I can see your hard work. You may be mediocre, but you've been slowly climbing up through your own efforts, using your abilities to slap the faces of all those who once looked down on you. I like children like you."

Therefore, even if Ji Zhinan did not have a good family background, it was just a small matter to her.

Nan Nan is a very smart child. She can learn quickly what the noble ladies know. But those spoiled noble ladies probably can't learn even one tenth of what Nan Nan knows in eight or ten years.

Ji Zhinan didn't expect that in Mo Lin's heart, she could be so good. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

"What are you thanking me for? We're all family." Maureen smiled dotingly. "I heard Yibei say he proposed to you, but they didn't have an engagement ceremony. I was so pissed. Doesn't this brat know that for a girl, the two most important ceremonies in her life are the engagement ceremony and the wedding?"

When Maureen thought of her disappointing son, she became angry. Afraid that Ji Zhinan would think too much and feel uncomfortable, she quickly grabbed Ji Zhinan's hand and patted it soothingly.

"Don't worry, Nannan, you'll have everything that belongs to you. Tomorrow is Christmas, and after Christmas, Auntie will personally arrange an engagement ceremony for you."

Ji Zhinan smiled and said, "No need, Auntie. Actually, I don't want to do it."

"How can that be possible?" Mo Lin looked at her. "You are the young lady of our Gu family. When Yi Bei inherits the family, the entire Gu family will be yours. If we don't have a grand engagement party, when the news gets out, others will think our Gu family is stingy and that we are not satisfied with you as our daughter-in-law."

"Auntie..." Ji Zhinan wanted to say something.

"Okay, it's decided." Maureen patted her hands and said, "You don't need to think too much. Just be your bride-to-be."

“…”

…………

In the evening, Gu Jue also came back.

It happened that Gu Yibei had work to discuss, and the father and son sat on the sofa in the living room, calmly discussing family work.

Ji Zhinan was listening nearby, and since she was also a businessman, she could understand what the two men were discussing.

Gu Jue still had a cold expression. He spoke seriously, "The Gu family is now involved in multiple industries. I plan to expand the family business in Country A..."

Country A.

When he heard the word "this country", Ji Zhinan's eyes flashed.

She knew this country, and it could even be said that she knew it in her previous life.
