Everyone was worried that she might not be used to things since she had just arrived, so Aunt Jin had her eldest daughter-in-law and Qingqing take Shushu to the pavilion in the yard to drink tea, arrange flowers, and chat.
Yun Shudai had seen all sorts of things in her past life, and she remained calm and composed after the initial shock.
"Shushu, have you been filming lately?"
"No, I just got a script and I'll be joining the production team in a few days."
The older sister-in-law asked curiously, "Do you really stay on set for months at a time, just like people say online?"
"Most of them are like that, but for someone of my status, playing a supporting role like the third or second female lead means less screen time, maybe one or two months at most. Of course, I'm free when I don't have any scenes to film."
While watching the housekeepers prepare the meals, Mrs. Bai said to her sister-in-law, "The second daughter of the Yun family seems quite nice. She is poised and elegant in her demeanor and conversation. Judging from her appearance, she is easy to get along with."
"My judgment has never been bad."
Mrs. Bai laughed: "I think Mu Yin likes him quite a bit too. I really didn't expect you to actually set him up with someone."
"Now we advocate freedom of love, but how can you have a relationship if you don't have a suitable girl around you? You have to talk to each other."
"Are they getting engaged? When are they going to have an engagement ceremony?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on the two of them."
Bai Muwei and Bai Muda also sat down in the pavilion and joined their tea party.
Bai Muyin sat next to Yun Shudai, occasionally handing her flowers, a scene that left the others speechless.
They all winked at Bai Muyin slyly. This guy is thirty years old and this is his first time dating, yet he's so good at handling things.
Bai Muwei admired his younger brother; he could learn anything quickly and master it perfectly, just look at how he treated his girlfriend.
During the meal, Bai Muyin deliberately opened the gift box containing wine that Yun Shudai had prepared.
"Dad, Second Uncle, Shushu has found you two bottles of good wine. Would you like to try some today?"
Mr. Bai had already seen it when his son opened it: "Quick, let me see it."
A bottle of Wuliangye liquor, a bottle of Moutai liquor, and a few packs of cigarettes.
However, the packaging of both bottles was damaged, so the year was not visible.
Bai Muyin gave one box to each of his eldest and third brothers.
Bai Muwei said, "This cigarette is well preserved."
Before he could finish speaking, Uncle Bai took the cigarette from him: "I'll confiscate this cigarette from Mu Wei. It's good; I'll need it."
Bai Muda said, "Dad, there are several boxes. You can't take them all."
Yun Shudai was surprised that they liked things from that era so much, and said, "If you like them, I'll ask my best friend another day. She has some in her family, and I'll have Mu Yin bring them over."
Wang Lu quickly said, "Shushu, don't spend money. Your older brother is trying to quit smoking recently."
Bai Muda hurriedly came over and said, "Shushu, I haven't quit smoking. Remember to get me two packs, this brand."
Bai Muqing laughed from the side: "Brother, this stuff is difficult to handle to begin with, and you still picked it out."
Yun Shudai glanced at Bai Muyin and then pulled his hand from under the table.
Bai Muyin whispered, "No need to do anything, they're used to it."
Uncle Bai had already opened a bottle of Wuliangye and was drinking it with his second uncle.
Upon seeing this, Bai Muwei quickly took a wine glass and went upstairs.
Aunt Jin and her second aunt also tried it on a whim, and even the eldest sister-in-law and Qingqing drank a small cup.
When offered a drink, Yun Shudai shook her head repeatedly, saying, "I get drunk after just one cup; I can't drink."
Yun Shudai enjoyed her day at the Bai family's house. The Bai family treated her very well, and when they chatted with her, they only asked about work-related matters, never bringing up sensitive topics such as actresses appearing in public or exposing themselves.
Bai Muda also asked her for several autographs, saying he wanted to give them to his friends.
In the end, his second aunt caught him red-handed and asked him if he had another girlfriend.
"Mom, I didn't. You know me, I'm busy with research, I don't have time for dating."
Mrs. Bai rolled her eyes at him, knowing her son's temperament, and said, "Be careful not to get your shoes wet by the river. Your father and I won't help you clean up the mess then."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Aunt Jin held Yun Shudai's hand and said, "Shushu, when you're resting, have your second son bring you to our house more often. Don't be shy here."
"Yes, Aunt Bai."
"Mom, it's getting late. I'll take Shushu home first."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
The Bai family escorted them to the parking lot, and Yun Shudai only breathed a sigh of relief after they left the house.
Bai Muyin looked at her and smiled, "Still nervous?"
Yun Shudai shook her head: "It's the feeling of being valued by your family that makes me feel pressured."
Do you like the atmosphere at home?
"Yes, Aunt Jin and Uncle Bai are all very kind."
Bai Muyin gently kissed the back of her hand: "They all like you very much."
"Really? I'm so nervous, I'm afraid that something I say or do will give them something to say or do."
"Fool, you're overthinking it."
Perhaps so. Those wealthy families from her previous life seemed very distant to her.
After returning home, Yun Shudai pulled He Wan aside and chatted, telling her about what she had learned that day.
He Wan rolled her eyes at her and said, "Isn't that normal? The book and reality are different. The author's imagination is boundless, and he can write any kind of background."
"That's true."
