Sheng Shijing watched Su Shuoci diligently helping his wife blanch the vegetables, so he followed suit.

Seeing Fu Guoguo wolfing down his food, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you!"

"Hmph, my second brother has been competing with me for it!" Fu Guoguo said with a grin.

Her words made everyone laugh, and Brother Fu put down his chopsticks and burped contentedly.

"Guoguo, eat slowly. Second brother won't fight with you for it. I'm already full tonight, but I didn't expect I could still eat so much."

"Haha... This is all thanks to my husband and me. We made such delicious food to treat you." Gu Jiaojiao said proudly.

"Haha... I'm so honored. Why do I feel that today's hot pot is particularly delicious?" Brother Fu flattered happily.

"Of course, we spent a lot of energy today!"

"There's a saying that goes, Brother Su and sister-in-law put so much thought into this, they must have some ulterior motive!"

"That's a must." Gu Jiaojiao admitted frankly.

"No, I'm not." At the same time, Fu Guoguo retorted with a slightly red face. When she heard what Gu Jiaojiao said, her expression was very interesting.

Su Shuoci couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, and Sheng Shijing couldn't help but laugh as well.

After a while of laughing and joking, Fu Guoguo suddenly stopped smiling and asked seriously, "Big Brother, Second Brother, do you agree that I should get engaged to Big Brother Sheng?"

"Girl, how can it be reasonable for us women to speak first?"

Fu Junyuan has been hesitant in his heart. While he admires Sheng Shijing, he is also worried that his biological sister will make things difficult for his own sister.

Even if we don’t live together, we should still be close relatives!

If Sheng Yueliang clings to her elder brother and refuses to let go, they will suffer wherever they go.

He originally wanted to wait for Sheng Shijing to speak before raising his concerns, but it was his sister who brought it up first.

"Brother Fu, Brother Er, Guoguo and I get along very well, and I want to spend my life with her.

Don't worry about my sister. After I retire, I will buy a house in the capital and marry Guoguo. I will never have anything to do with my sister."

"My only concern is this issue. Since you have already considered it, I have nothing to say. I will not associate with other people in the Fu family."

Fu Junyuan looked at Sheng Shijing seriously and said that in fact, his father and stepmother were more difficult to deal with.

The three of them didn't spend a single cent of their father's salary, and it wasn't even enough for the two of them.

He couldn't stand his father and stepmother, but he wouldn't make things difficult for them, because the biggest taboo in life is to make enemies with others at every turn.

He used to like to go against anyone he disliked, without considering the subsequent situation or gains and losses.

Now he has a second brother and sister to protect, and a group of subordinates to support, he is no longer alone.

He now has to think about a problem. Although his father and stepmother are annoying, they have not offended him.

So what should he do?

In the past, he would act on impulse, thinking that the other person was a bad person and deserved to die. He would always let his emotions get the upper hand and was completely irrational.

This results in fewer and fewer friends around you and more and more enemies.

Gu Jiaojiao saw that Fu Junyuan and Sheng Shijing were not affected by their respective families, but they still had some grudges in their hearts.

So she patiently enlightened everyone: "In fact, we don't need to act on impulse, nor do we need to be cynical.

If the other party is a villain, that is their business. As long as they don't hurt us, there is no need for us to have any emotions towards them.

You all don't need to worry too much about Sheng Yueliang. There must be weirdos in the world. All we need to do is stay away from her.

As Xunzi said, respect the villain and keep away from him. If you are a gentleman, you cannot get along with the villain.

Then you'd better keep a distance from the villain. He won't invade you, and you won't invade him. It's like keeping to yourself.

This world is not black and white, there is a delicate gray in the middle.

Everyone has a good side and a bad side. If we always see the bad side, there will be no good people in this world.

When dealing with anyone, you might as well stick to one principle: judge by deeds rather than intentions, and weigh what others do and whether it affects you.

If there is no impact, then keep your distance from others and do not interfere with each other.

There is no perfect method for getting along with others. You and I need to do this all the time and adapt to circumstances.

No matter how the situation develops, we will adjust our personal strategies accordingly.

We should adjust our responses based on the intentions and actions of others."

"Listening to my sister-in-law's words is better than reading ten years of books. Yes, since the other party has no intention of becoming our enemy, then we should not take the initiative to provoke trouble.

Sometimes, it is better to do less than more, which makes sense.

On the contrary, if the other party insists on being our enemy and opposing us everywhere, then there is no need for us to be overly tolerant.

Sometimes, only by throwing the first punch can you avoid a hundred blows. Learning to adapt is the most important wisdom in dealing with people.

If we stick to the old ways, we will not be able to keep up with the development of the situation. Only by adapting to changing circumstances can we be successful and remain invincible."

Brother Fu was confused, but he knew that as Guoguo's second brother he had to express his opinion, so he spoke.

"Haha... There's nothing that can't be solved with a meal. As long as I have a delicious meal, I have no complaints."

Gu Jiaojiao helped Sheng Shijing and Fu Guoguo finalize their engagement with a hotpot meal.

Fu Junyuan was determined not to invite anyone from the Fu family. He didn't want his sister's engagement party to be unhappy.

And Fu Junyuan did make concessions this time, inviting his friends and Fu Guoguo's friends to attend the party in his villa.

Sheng Shijing only invited members of the Gu family, and they held a simple yet grand engagement banquet at Fu Junyuan's home.

Grandpa Gu and Dad Gu had hosted the engagement party and wedding banquet for Second Brother Gu, so they have experience.

They were even more afraid of tiring out their precious granddaughter and daughter, so they didn't need Gu Jiaojiao to do anything; she just had to watch and enjoy herself from the side.

Naturally, all the money needed was paid by Fu Junyuan, and Sheng Shijing's previous salary was all given to the former Gu Jiaojiao.

Later he gave it all to Sheng Yueliang, so he only had three months' salary left, which was not enough to buy a set of clothes.

Gu Jiaojiao asked him to save the money he had and invite Guoguo to go to Qingcheng to celebrate the New Year together, and he listened to her.

"Brother, please keep a record of the cost of this engagement party. I will pay you back slowly later."

"Let's talk about it later. Just be nice to my sister in the future." Fu Junyuan said generously.

He has never been short of money since he followed Su Shuoci, and there will be dividends at the end of the year. Their Brother Su is really good at managing things.

After the engagement party, there were only three days left until the Chinese New Year, and Gu Jiaojiao and her family were preparing to go home for the New Year.

Gu Jiaojiao and Su Shuoci picked out some good things from the space as gifts. Her older brothers are all big bosses.

They can afford these good things, and they have a source to trace back to, so even if they are big guys, it is difficult for them to get them.
