After dinner, Lin Wanwan asked Gu Bei to drive her car.
"Let's take Zimu home first, and then we'll go shopping."
Lin Wanwan gave him the address, and he arrived quickly by car.
"Bye-bye, rich lady, see you Monday."
Lin Wanwan retorted, "Bye-bye, gossip girl."
Gu Bei chuckled, "You two are so funny."
"It was fun, wasn't it? Zimu has a pretty good personality, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten along."
Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes and looked at him, saying, "She's much cuter than your blind date who's got eyes on the top of his head."
Gu Bei glanced at her and said, "When your godmother scolds me later, remember to cover for me."
"Fine, since you're my brother."
By the time the two finished shopping and returned home, it was almost three o'clock.
As soon as Lin Wanwan entered the house, she collapsed onto the sofa, leaning against Xu Zhang, saying, "Godmother, I'm so tired."
Xu Zhang patted her and greeted her with a smile, "Why did you come back with your brother?"
"It's a long story, let me first show you what I bought."
Lin Wanwan proudly showed her each and every item as if they were treasures.
Gu Changfeng came out of the study and laughed, "Every time you come, it's like you're moving house. Why bring so much stuff back to your own home?"
"Oh, I'm just on my way back."
"These two boxes of tea and snacks are located on opposite sides of the city, one in the west and one in the north. How come they're on the same route?"
"Godfather, why did you expose me?"
Xu Zhang smiled and said, "Why buy so much? If you want to eat it, we can just ask Auntie to buy it."
Lin Wanwan clung to her arm and said coquettishly, "Auntie bought it, but what I bought tastes even better."
Xu Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try it in a bit and see just how delicious it is."
Turning to Gu Bei, she asked, "How did your blind date go?"
Gu Bei touched his nose and remained silent.
Xu Zhang was about to scold him, but Lin Wanwan stopped him, "Godmother, it's my fault this time. My brother's attitude was very proper. Look, he even dressed up before going and went to the restaurant in advance to wait for them."
"Today I went to a hot pot restaurant with my friends and ran into my brother. I was joking with my brother last time, but when that girl came, she immediately started criticizing me."
After Lin Wanwan finished speaking, Xu Zhang frowned. "I heard she's a bit arrogant. Oh well, if it doesn't work out, then forget it. We're from a lowly family, so she probably doesn't like us."
"I'm sorry, godmother, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have messed around with you."
Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "Why blame you? I've met that girl. I didn't agree to them meeting in the first place. She's proud and arrogant. If I married her, it would cause a lot of trouble."
Xu Zhang glared at him, and Gu Changfeng immediately shut up.
Gu Bei quietly gave his dad a thumbs up.
Lin Wanwan blinked, "Where are Grandpa and Grandma?"
"They went out for a walk and will be back soon. Why didn't Lu Feng and the child come over?"
“I was going to pick up the kids, but then I remembered they were going to train with Lu Feng this afternoon, so I called them and told them to come over in a bit.”
Xu Zhang knew she wanted to stay for dinner, so he quickly asked the aunt to go buy groceries.
"Call your parents over later. Has Xiaohai returned yet?"
“I just met him. I’ve already told him to come over for dinner tonight, Godmother. I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs.”
"I know, I've already asked Auntie to go buy groceries, all of them are your favorites."
Lin Wanwan hugged her again and said coquettishly, "I'm so happy."
Seeing that Xu Chang was in good health, Lin Wanwan was also happy.
"Godmother, how about we go to Shenzhen for a visit in a few days?"
Xu Zhang looked at her and asked, "What are you going to Pengcheng for?"
“Go and have some fun. Bring your grandparents, my mom, and my mother-in-law. You can go and stay for a month before coming back.”
"Out playing again?"
"Yes, we've been to all the fun places in Beijing. Let's go check out Shenzhen; it's developing so fast there."
Xu Zhang thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to find a place for so many people to travel, and it's inconvenient to stay in a hotel after playing for so long."
“Godmother, leave these to me. My new apartment complex in Pengcheng is a villa area. My house has been renovated and bright for almost a year now. You can come and warm it up for me.”
"Bought another house?"
"I built it, so of course I have to keep one for myself. Aren't I amazing?"
Xu Zhang smiled so broadly his eyebrows curved. "Amazing, amazing! My daughter is amazing, much more amazing than your useless brother."
"Mom, let's just talk, please don't drag me into this, I'm completely innocent."
Lin Wanwan leaned against Xu Zhang and laughed nonstop.
On Monday, Li Zimu wore a new dress to work. When she saw Lin Wanwan, she said smugly, "Rich lady, isn't my new dress pretty?"
"Beautiful," Lin Wanwan said, cupping her fists in greeting.
"May I ask, sir, would you like to have lunch together?"
"Who's the hero? You're the hero!!" Li Zimu stepped forward and pinched her arm.
Lin Wanwan smiled and dodged away, "Have mercy, brave warrior! I misspoke just now."
"Ah, I'll strangle you."
The two were arguing when a cool, leisurely voice came from behind them.
"You two have nothing better to do? Playing around during work hours, so what if you have new clothes?"
Lin Wanwan saw her roll her eyes at her and walk away in her high heels.
Lin Wanwan and Li Zimu exchanged a glance. "Has she lost her mind? I didn't do anything to her, did I?"
“I have a bad feeling about this dress. When I came here this morning, Sister Li told me that Zhang Lan had her eye on it for a long time, but she always thought it was too expensive and didn’t buy it.”
Lin Wanwan understood. "If you need money, earn it yourself. Why are you staring at me? I earn it myself too."
"Who cares? You're beautiful and rich, and there are plenty of people who are envious of you. If you really care, you'll just drive yourself crazy."
Lin Wanwan gave her a thumbs up, "It has to be our Mumu who's so perceptive."
