The banquet lasted until 10 p.m.
The guests left the Gu family home one after another.
Grandma Gu held Bai Qianmo's hand and personally saw the guests out.
Seeing the old lady's fond look towards Bai Qianmo, Qin Lin felt a thousand complaints in her heart.
She didn't want to say much in front of the two elderly people.
"Qianning, I'm sorry you had to go through this today. Don't worry, Auntie is on your side. But as you can see, the old lady is very enthusiastic towards Bai Qianmo, and that boy A-Ye is blinded again. So, the most important thing for you right now is to find a way to win A-Ye's heart." Qin Lin took Ye Qianning's hand and personally saw her out of the Gu family's gate.
The purpose was to say these words to Ye Qianning.
Today she finally understood that her son would never listen to her and would act entirely on his own whims.
The old man and woman were like two fence-sitters, siding entirely with their beloved grandson.
Qin Lin was shocked to realize today that she had greatly underestimated the abilities of that little girl, Bai Qianmo.
Ye Qianning bit her lip lightly, her eyelids lowered, and a hint of sadness in her eyes.
“These things are a two-way street. Even if I devote myself entirely to A-Ye, he never has me in his heart.”
"Don't say that. It's easy for a woman to pursue a man. A-Ye used to be abroad. Although you two grew up together, you didn't spend much time together. To put it bluntly, he doesn't really understand you yet. You should create more opportunities to be by his side. Once he gets to know you, I believe you will soon be able to replace Bai Qianmo in A-Ye's heart. In short, you are the only daughter-in-law in my heart. You must live up to his expectations, understand?"
With Qin Lin's words of comfort, a glimmer of hope rekindled in Ye Qianning's heart.
"Aunt Qin, I will definitely live up to your kindness. If I am fortunate enough to be with A-Ye in the future, I will be even more filial to you."
Seeing Ye Qianning's obedient nature, Qin Lin became even more certain that her choice was correct.
I hope my son will realize his mistakes and turn back from the wrong path soon.

After the banquet
Qin Jingwen went back to the Qin family's old house with Old Master Qin, while Gu Jingyu, who was on duty at the hospital, also left first.
In the end, it seems that only Gu Jueye could take Bai Qianmo home.
“Qianmo, when you came last time you said the pastries at home were delicious, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some for you.”
After saying that, Madam Gu took the beautifully packaged food box from the Gu family and handed it to Bai Qianmo.
"Thank you, Grandma Gu." Bai Qianmo reached out and took it, thanking her politely.
Madam Gu smiled and said, "I didn't know what kind of snacks your family liked, so I prepared a little of each. Please give my regards to your grandfather when you get back."
Bai Qianmo: "..."
Why does the old man's tone sound like he's greeting his in-laws?
The thought popped into her head, and Bai Qianmo lowered her eyes guiltily. How could she have naturally thought of this place?
Grandpa Gu, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up: "Qianmo, is your grandfather Bai Yixian?"
He had already investigated the girl's identity, so he knew the true relationship between Bai Qianmo and the Bai family.
Today, my little girl said that the painting "Clouds, Rain, Mountains and Rivers" was taken from her grandfather's study, so it must be by Bai Yixian.
He didn't usually have any contact with this person, but he had heard that Bai Yixian was a chess fanatic.
Since our son is interested in that girl, the two families will have to meet sooner or later.
Therefore, figuring out the other party's preferences now will definitely be beneficial when the two families meet in the future.
Bai Qianmo nodded: "You know my grandfather?"
On second thought, it's not surprising that Grandpa had heard of him, given that he had spent half his life in politics.
Moreover, judging from the expression on Old Master Gu's face when he asked that question, he had clearly already investigated her past.
Thinking of this, Bai Qianmo was slightly surprised.
Since she arrived in the capital, people who heard that she only had a junior high school education either mocked or looked down on her, always giving her a sense of superiority and contempt.
The fact that the two elderly members of the Gu family could still be so approachable after learning her identity shows that they are truly people who don't care about social status.
Old Gu said, "Your grandfather loves playing Go and is highly skilled. I've often heard a friend mention him. If I have the time, I'd really like to have a match with your grandfather."
Bai Qianmo smiled and said, "If my grandfather knew that you wanted to play chess with him, he would be overjoyed."
Old Master Gu laughed heartily, a rare sight for him: "True friends are hard to find, and in today's society, there are even fewer people who understand Go. To have a true friend is a blessing. It's getting late, A-Ye, why don't you drive Qianmo home?"
"good."
Gu Jueye looked at Bai Qianmo with gentle eyes, his expression full of approval.
The old man is usually very quiet, but today he actually brought up the idea of meeting the little girl's family.
Yes, that's a good sign.
"Then I'll head back now. Goodbye, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu."
"I'll see you out." Old Mrs. Gu personally got up, took Bai Qianmo's arm, and escorted her to the Gu family's gate.
The autumn night was chilly, and the old lady was getting on in years. Bai Qianmo repeatedly urged her to go home, but the old lady insisted on seeing her off.
"I had some pastries for dinner, this will help with digestion."
While Gu Jueye went to the garage to get his car, Grandma Gu took advantage of the quiet and cool night to look at the delicate and pretty young girl in front of her, her eyes full of loving and gentle smiles.
"Qianmo, what do you think of Seventh Brother?"
Bai Qianmo was stunned for a moment, unsure how to answer the question.
