The next morning, Meng Ying arrived with breakfast.

When Jianshu was only halfway through his meal, Gu Mingjing had already finished the rest.

"Aunt, I'll go back first. Please take care of Shushu here." He came in a hurry yesterday and told the guard that although there was a reason, he still had to go back and complete the leave procedure today.

"Remember to buy a few pounds of candy when you go back. The birth of a child is a big happy event, and we have to share the joy with everyone." Meng Ying took out a few candy coupons and handed them to him, and gave him a few more instructions.

The proper etiquette for a child's birth must be observed, otherwise others might think their family doesn't value the child. Especially since Yi Yi is a little girl, while her family may be happy, outsiders may not necessarily feel the same way and may even grumble behind her back.

No matter what, this face must be maintained one by one, and it must be maintained enough to make those who want to gossip think twice.

Gu Mingjing didn't know what Meng Ying was thinking, but he said cheerfully, "I see, Auntie. Besides candy, would you like some eggs or something?"

"No, that's for the full moon banquet. There's no need to rush now. Just buy some candies and give them out if you find any. No need to make a special gift."

"Okay!" Gu Mingjing nodded to show his understanding. "Dad, let's go. The sooner we go, the sooner we can come back."

Jian Yucheng reluctantly handed his granddaughter to Meng Ying. Alas, if he hadn't come in a hurry, he really didn't want to leave now.

Gu Mingjing left in a hurry yesterday and many people saw it. At that time, they all speculated whether Jianshu was about to give birth. Now that Gu Mingjing is back, everyone he met couldn't help but ask a few questions.

Gu Mingjing answered them one by one with a smile on his face.

"Yes, she gave birth."

"My daughter, five pounds and six ounces, very healthy."

There were those with ulterior motives who deliberately congratulated him on having a daughter, and he happily nodded in agreement:

"Thank you, thank you. I think my daughter is good too. The naughty boy is so troublesome. My daughter is still the cutest."

The people watching this feel very depressed. Is this person pretending or is he really happy?

Of course Gu Mingjing was really happy. He didn't bother to care about the little thoughts of those people who couldn't stand seeing others doing well. They were all insignificant people. Why should he care about them?

Jian Yucheng, who was standing by, heard the hidden meaning in those people's words, took a quick glance at them, and frightened them so much that they immediately fell silent.

He could only watch the father-in-law and son-in-law walk away. He stood there and touched the back of his neck, which was cold, and muttered to himself, "Oh my God, what is the origin of Captain Gu's father-in-law? His eyes are obviously calm, but it makes people feel numb all over and scared to death."

The completely frightened person didn't notice that Gu Mingjing didn't give her any of the candies in the big bag in his hand.

"Dad, you're really awesome. You can stun people with just one look." Gu Mingjing flattered his father-in-law skillfully with a sincere look in his eyes.

Jian Yucheng glanced at him and said calmly, "They are just a few vulgar people with some petty thoughts that are not worthy of being mentioned in public. Why should I bother with them?"

This kind of people like to do things that hurt others and benefit themselves. Their methods of instigation are very shallow. It is a waste of time to argue with them.

"Dad is right. People like this are not worthy of giving candies. We should not let them share in the joy." Gu Mingjing nodded. Fortunately, that person spoke quickly and he had not given out the candies yet. Otherwise, it would be neither right nor wrong to take it back. It would be disgusting!

Jian Yucheng remained silent. Although he was too lazy to care, he was not that generous. Although his family did not lack this piece of candy, not everyone could eat it.

On the way back, I met Wu Xiufang.

"Shu Shu gave birth?" She ran over and asked as soon as she saw Gu Mingjing for the first time.

The smile on Gu Mingjing's face deepened, and his attitude became a little more friendly than others. "Yes, sister-in-law, it was born yesterday evening, a girl, weighing 5.62 kg, and looks very beautiful!" The last sentence highlighted the silly father's style.

Jian Yucheng also guessed from his attitude that this should be a family with a close relationship.

"That's great! Shushu finally got what she wanted! If we had a son, she would have been nagging about it later." Wu Xiufang was genuinely happy for them. She knew they both wanted a daughter, and she often heard them calling her daughter.

I was surprised at first, but I soon accepted it. After all, these two people are often different from others, so it is not difficult to understand that they are unexpected when it comes to their children.

"Yes, a daughter is good, that's what I want." Gu Mingjing was happy when he mentioned his daughter, and grabbed a handful of candy from the bag, "Sister-in-law will treat you to some candy, and also give some sweets to the children at home."

"That's just right for me to share in the good luck. Tiedan asked me a few days ago when his beautiful sister would be coming back." Wu Xiufang accepted it with a smile and looked at Jian Yucheng beside her, "Who is this?" She had never seen him before, but he should be a relative of the family. Judging from his age, could he be Comrade Gu's father?

"This is my father-in-law. He just arrived yesterday. You haven't met him yet. Dad, this is sister-in-law Xiufang. She lives next door to us. She has a very good relationship with Shushu. Before my aunt came, she took good care of Shushu." Gu Mingjing introduced the two to each other.

Wu Xiufang was slightly taken aback. Comrade Gu's father-in-law, wasn't that Jian Shu's father? But...

There were many thoughts in his mind, but at least he had some experience, so he didn't show it clearly on his face.

But who was Jian Yucheng? Wu Xiufang's attempts at disguising herself were completely useless to him; it was clear to him. But this was his daughter's best friend, so he couldn't be too cold.

"Hello, I'm Shushu's father. Thank you for your care. Thank you!"

Wu Xiufang was a little flattered. "No, no, it's all my duty. You're so polite."

She had some understanding of Jian Shu's family situation. Although she didn't know how someone who had already sacrificed himself could come back, since Gu Mingjing brought him with him, it must be true. He held a much higher position than her husband, but he thanked her so approachably, which immediately improved her impression of him.

No wonder Shushu has such a good personality. It turns out that it’s all because of her family’s learning. With such a father, how bad can the daughter he raises be?

"Of course. We have something else to do, so we'll take our leave now. When the baby is one month old, you must come and have a drink at the wedding."

"Of course, of course. I won't disturb you anymore. Shushu is still waiting over there. Go and do whatever you need!" Wu Xiufang nodded with a smile and moved aside.

"Sister-in-law, we'll leave first. When Shushu comes back, you can come over and talk."

"Okay, take care."
