As night fell, the clubhouse was brightly lit, filled with the sounds of clinking glasses and elegantly dressed people, seemingly unaffected by the incident involving the Meng family mother and daughter.
Ming Zongyuan disliked social engagements, so he stayed in the garden with the younger generation while his wife went to the banquet hall to entertain guests.
"Mrs. Fu, you seem to know Miss Mu as well?"
Mrs. Ming could tell that the old man really wanted the girl and her son to be a couple, but today's events still made her feel uneasy.
"The child of an old family member, whose relatives have passed away, was adopted by the Fu family by the kind-hearted old lady."
Although Madam Fu didn't particularly like Mu Weiwei, she wouldn't speak ill of her behind her back, lest she appear ill-mannered.
Moreover, if Mu Weiwei really gets together with Ming Ye, she won't have any more designs on Han Zheng, and the Fu family will be spared a lot of trouble.
In the garden, Gu Weiwei initially felt embarrassed about being tricked into a blind date, but Mingye was very refined and gentlemanly, and his humorous conversation took great care of the three young girls.
Moreover, noticing that she had a cold and a sore throat, they specially arranged for someone to prepare a hot drink to soothe her throat.
And with the light meals, it gradually felt less like a blind date and more like a fun gathering of friends.
Ji Cheng didn't even bother to eat the food that was served, his eyes shining as he played with his phone. After Ming Zongyuan said a few words to him, he finally said, "I'm looking into what Gu Weiwei, the rich heiress of the Gu family, actually looks like."
Gu Weiwei, sitting to her left, twitched her lips. "..."
"Ugh, why isn't there a single photo that shows her face?" Ji Cheng muttered, putting down his phone in frustration. "She actually hired Martin Green as her personal designer and wears exclusive limited-edition clothes that are only available in the world every day. The world of the rich is unimaginable."
Gu Weiwei smiled politely. Such a life was not surprising among the upper-class elites of Country A.
Gu Jia was simply giving her something better.
Ji Cheng gave up on searching for news and winked at Gu Weiwei.
"Weiwei, isn't my cousin incredibly handsome?"
Gu Weiwei gave a dry laugh, "Since you've put it that way, what else can I say?"
Ji Cheng asked with a smile, "So, have you thought about getting married?"
Ming Zongyuan added, "I told you, my grandson is exceptionally talented. He designed many famous buildings abroad..."
Mingye's smile froze slightly as he picked up his wine glass and took a sip without making a sound.
"Grandpa, she's still young."
Gu Weiwei nodded and said, "Yes, I'm really still young."
“You’re not young anymore. You’re eighteen now. Dating for two years before getting married is just right,” Ming Zongyuan said presumptuously.
"I don't think it's a good idea," Gu Weiwei replied with a forced laugh.
She didn't even know who her own grandson liked, yet she dragged her to a blind date.
Mingye watched as Ji Cheng kept persuading Gu Weiwei to become his cousin's wife, then took another sip of his wine, as if he was suppressing something.
After talking for a while, Ming Zongyuan invited Ji Cheng and Luo Qianqian to go for a walk, but left her and Ming Ye behind.
Mingye watched the group walk away and smiled apologetically.
"I'm sorry, but my grandfather is used to making decisions at home and wants to control everything."
Gu Weiwei chuckled, "However, I think... you should make things clear with Chengcheng as soon as possible, otherwise how long will you continue to be his cousin?"
Mingye was taken aback by her words.
"you……"
"On the necklace, there's my little angel, and that necklace is a symbol of love in other countries," Gu Weiwei revealed her discovery.
Mingye smiled helplessly, "You didn't tell her, did you?"
Gu Weiwei shook her head, "I haven't had a chance to say it yet, but I think it would be better if you said it yourself."
"Thank you, but let's wait until she's a little older," Mingye said.
After dinner, Mingye arranged for a car to take her and Luo Qianqian home, while he took Ji Cheng home himself.
As soon as Gu Weiwei entered the apartment, the landline phone in the living room rang. She knew without answering that it was someone she had blocked from calling.
So, I didn't even bother answering the phone, and just unplugged it, bringing peace and quiet to the world.
