Gu Qing sighed, "Wanwan, sometimes I really envy you. You're beautiful, smart, and have a loving husband and two adorable sons."
Lin Wanwan smiled helplessly, "If I didn't know how to do business and didn't have this job, and was just a full-time housewife, would you still envy me?"
Gu Qing didn't understand why she suddenly asked that question.
He stared at her for a while and said, "I guess I'll still be envious."
"If I lose these things, how can you be sure I'll still be as happy as this family? Maybe what you sometimes envy is what's right in front of you."
Gu Qing was stunned for a while, then laughed, "I think I understand what you're saying."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Why don't you encourage me to keep pursuing Lu Anyang? Didn't you say he doesn't have a girlfriend? Do you also think I have no chance?"
"I don't think anyone has a chance."
“I went to see your mother-in-law a couple of days ago.”
Lin Wanwan looked at her in surprise, "Why are you looking for my mother-in-law?"
"I wanted your mother-in-law to put in a good word for me, but she flatly refused, saying that as long as my brother is happy, she won't care whether he gets married or not, or who he marries."
Lin Wanwan was a little embarrassed. "My mother-in-law has always been quite open-minded. Even if she worries that my older brother will be alone when he gets old, she won't pressure him."
"I understand. I'll go back and prepare for the wedding. I'll send you an invitation then."
“I told you not to be so fixated on marriage. There are many ways to ensure the stability of a family, and marriage is the least secure one. You have ambition, courage, and ability. You can do many things well. You don’t need to be too fixated on marriage.”
Do you think I can lead the family business on my own?
Lin Wanwan looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Haven't you been doing this for many years already?"
Gu Qing laughed immediately, "It's true that I'm too narrow-minded, but I accept your praise. I don't think I'm any worse than you."
"I think so too. Don't you have any idea how excellent you are?"
Gu Qing smiled happily, "You're so much younger than me, how do you maintain such a good attitude?"
"It's not about having a good attitude, it's a fact."
"Alright, little sister, I've learned something."
Lin Wanwan shrugged. "Have you finished eating? Where are you planning to go this afternoon? I'll go with you."
"I had no plans. I was originally going to have dinner with you and then go back to my hotel by myself."
"It's so boring staying here. If the two of us really can't take it anymore, let's call two people out to play mahjong."
Gu Qing paused for a moment and then nodded. "It's not impossible."
"Let's go pick them up."
"It's a workday today, are you sure someone will play mahjong with us?"
"I don't know if others have time, but there are two people who definitely do."
Lin Wanwan drove her to the entrance of a courtyard house.
“Zheng Yan is my college classmate. Her husband is President Ren. He used to work at a bank, but he quit recently because he was unhappy with his job.”
They also went to call Zhang Lin later.
After graduating, Zhang Lin also went to work at a bank. By chance, she got involved in acting with Lin Wanwan. At first, she did it on a small scale, but later she simply quit her job and became a professional actress.
Although Zhang Lin isn't the type of beauty with striking features, she is tall and has striking features. Plus, she seems to have a knack for acting, grasping her major subjects quickly and handling acting with ease. She's now quite well-known.
"Linlin, you've been back for almost a week, and you haven't even said you wanted to come visit us. You really are a big star now."
Zheng Yan looked at her with a hint of reproach.
Zhang Lin said with a hint of helplessness, "My good sister, I've been filming for over four months without a single day off, and I've only been home sleeping for a week, and you're already complaining?"
"Let me introduce you first. This is Gu Qing. Yan Yan should know her. She's a beautiful and capable older sister. We'll play mahjong together in a bit."
Zhang Lin looked at Gu Qing in the passenger seat.
"Beautiful lady, my name is Zhang Lin."
Gu Qing reached out and shook hands with her.
"I've long admired your name; you're even more beautiful in person."
Zhang Lin smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, you really know how to compliment people."
The four of them played mahjong for two hours and were all tired, so they decided to go for afternoon tea.
The group chatted happily, had dinner, and then Lin Wanwan drove them home before slowly driving home herself.
"Why are you only coming back now?" Lu Feng asked, putting his arm around her.
Lin Wanwan sat on the sofa and looked around. "Mom's resting so early?"
"No, the two kids were covered in dust today, and I couldn't stand it, so I made sure they took a bath right after dinner."
Lin Wanwan was speechless.
Looking at Lu Anyang across from her, who was engrossed in reading, Lin Wanwan said in an annoyed tone.
"Brother, you seem so relaxed. Do you know that I spent the whole day outside with your suitors? I'm exhausted."
Lu Anyang put down his book, looked up at her, and asked, "Gu Qing is looking for you?"
"Yes, she came directly to my workplace. I took half a day off to be with her."
Lu Anyang frowned. "She came to see Mom a few days ago. Don't pay any attention to her."
"Brother, you're so heartless! But I did try to persuade you today, so I guess you won't bother me anymore. Brother, how are you going to thank me?"
Lin Wanwan smiled mischievously.
Lu Anyang was amused by her, "So you were waiting for me here."
"I took time off work to be with her, you should thank me."
"Okay, thank you. I just finished shooting a jewelry set recently, it will arrive tomorrow, I'll give it to you."
Lin Wanwan glared at him. "It was originally meant for me, wasn't it?"
"What's the difference? In the end, it's all in your hands anyway. Does the pretext really matter?"
"That makes sense, but I feel like I'm at a disadvantage."
“Suffering a loss is a blessing,” Lu Anyang stood up and looked at the two of them and said, “It’s still early, so why don’t you two try to have a third child?”
Lin Wanwan looked at him in horror, "Big brother, you are so vicious."
Lu Anyang didn't say anything and went straight out of the room.
