I heard that all the prominent families in the capital were eager to bring betrothal gifts and dowries to the Wen family as a gesture of goodwill.
"You're not the only one who has her in mind; there are also the unmarried disciples of various noble families."
"..."
Peng Qibo remained silent for a long time after hearing his words.
After a while.
He looked up at him and said with a wry smile, "It seems I've been deceiving myself."
If you can see things so clearly, then others aren't stupid either.
But I won't give up.
Peng Qibo's eyes shone with determination. "I believe I have an advantage over anyone else, and since she's not interested in dating right now, it's even more advantageous for me."
"It also has flaws."
Luo Pengfei couldn't help but remind him, "I think you should still be careful."
Moreover, I can tell that Jingyu dislikes you somewhat; it's probably because your aunt has dragged you down with her.
If you really anger her again, she'll either beat you up or transfer you to a different job.
A beating is nothing, he'll recover after a while.
If they really transfer you back to the capital, all your hard work in Xiangdu over the past few years will have been wasted.
"Yes, I understand."
Peng Qibo remained silent for a moment, then nodded in response.
...
The next day.
Lin Jingyu went to the newspaper office to visit Mr. Jin Ming.
"You little rascal, you've finally arrived."
Seeing that the man looked much more mature, Mr. Jinming couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast. It's been several years since we last met."
"Uncle Jin, you haven't changed at all; you're still so young."
Lin Jingyu responded with a smile, "It seems that Uncle Jin has been living a good life these past few years."
"good."
Mr. Jin Ming smiled broadly, "At my age, there's not much I can do to help anymore; I'm just taking it one day at a time."
"It's better if there's not much to do."
Lin Jingyu nodded, "I hope that when I reach Uncle Jin's age, I can also live such a leisurely life."
"Don't worry about that, it'll definitely work."
Mr. Jinming's smile faded. "These past few years have been tough on you, girl."
Although he was in Xiangdu, he kept up with news from back home.
Regarding Lin Jingyu's dominance a few years ago, her time staying in the capital to raise her child, and now the fact that she's being targeted by various powerful families again...
He knew all of these things.
Knowing that the other person had not had a good time in recent years, he still couldn't help but feel sorry for this outstanding young man.
"Thank you, Uncle Jin."
Lin Jingyu smiled calmly, "It's all in the past. I'm doing very well now, so please don't worry."
"Yes, it's all in the past."
Mr. Jinming looked at her with approval and said, "You're a strong and capable girl. No wonder you have such a heavy burden."
I heard your two children are quite good-looking?
"They're two little rascals, quite mischievous. I'll bring them to meet you sometime."
"Okay, I'll wait to see these two little ones."
"There's definitely a chance."
...
The two chatted for a while.
Lin Jingyu then began to inquire about the situation in Xiangdu in recent years.
Over the next few days, I accompanied Mr. Jinming to various banquets in Xiangdu.
