Before leaving the Bai family, Bai Qianmo arranged for Fang Shu to secretly protect her grandfather and the Bai family at the old Bai family residence.
With the magic at hand, Grandpa can feel a little more at ease.
Before leaving, I went to the Hilton Hotel to see Jayne.
Despite having an injured arm, Jayne did not carry any of his work gear.
He is accelerating the process to complete the acquisition of Wanxin.
As the big boss, Bai Qianmo was quite gratified.
"Brother Ye, isn't that too unfair of you? I've only been in the capital for two days, and you're already going to go film in some remote mountain village, leaving me all alone in this huge city waiting anxiously. Can you really bear to do that?"
The lines were like a melodramatic soap opera, coupled with a pitiful face.
To the uninitiated, this handsome young man might seem like a devoted lover who had been abandoned by a woman.
Bai Qianmo placed the breakfast she brought from the century-old shop on the table and glanced at him when she had a spare moment.
"Where do you want to go? I'll have Jiang Xiaoyu go with you."
Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Xiaoyu tilted her head and looked at Jay: "No problem, you can go wherever you want these few days, I'll take care of everything myself."
Jayne pouted, looking disgusted.
"Suddenly, I don't want to go anywhere."
Bai Qianmo glanced at the time and said to Jiang Xiaoyu, "Keep a close eye on Huo Xiuxiu these next few days, and notify me immediately if anything happens."
"Okay! Brother Ye. You can leave Jayne to me as well. I promise to make sure he's healthy and plump while he's recovering."
Bai Qianmo smiled but didn't say anything.
With Kuching secretly protecting her, Jain had nothing to worry about.
"Jiang Xiaoyu, after Brother Ye leaves, you can go about your business. I really don't need you to take care of me here. Brother Ye, you can go and film without worry. When you come back, there will be a good show for you to watch." Jayne smiled mysteriously.
Bai Qianmo wasn't curious about what kind of scheme Jayne was up to.
He's the kind of person who holds grudges, and Huo Xiuxiu has crossed a line this time. He already dislikes the Huo family, so who knows what he'll do to Huo Xiuxiu this time.
Gu Family Old House
A car slowly drove in.
The car stopped at the main entrance, and a guard stepped forward and respectfully opened the car door.
Two women came down from the back of the house one after the other.
"Aunt Gu, this is my first time formally meeting Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu. I don't know if they will like the gifts I chose." Huo Xiuxiu showed a hint of nervousness.
Today, Qin Lin took her to formally meet the two elders who truly held power in the Gu family.
It is said that Gu Jueye was raised by two elderly people, so in Gu Jueye's heart, the two elderly people are more important than his biological parents.
During this time, she tried her best to please Gu Zhizhou and Qin Lin, thinking that winning over her future in-laws would be half the battle won.
But she gradually discovered that Gu Jueye rarely came home. Judging from her frequent visits to the Gu family home, she had never seen Gu Jueye.
The only time they met was outside, when Qin Lin intentionally brought them together.
Therefore, she now has to change her strategy and focus her main attention on the two elderly people in her family.
During this time, she also had people secretly inquire about the matter. It was said that no matter how busy Gu Jueye was, he would always take one day a week to visit the two elderly people.
Today, she found out that Gu Jueye had come to the old house, so she made an excuse to tell Qin Lin that she wanted to visit Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu.
Qin Lin patted Huo Xiuxiu's hand with a smile: "Don't worry, the gift you chose suits the old man and woman's tastes very well. Moreover, they are both very understanding and would never make things difficult for their juniors in front of others."
Huo Xiuxiu looked relieved: "Then I'm relieved."
At this moment, Grandpa Gu and his grandson Gu Jueye were playing chess in the study, while Grandma Gu stood by, holding a book and occasionally flipping through a couple of pages.
Grandpa Gu said, "Old woman, you've been complaining about your eyes being uncomfortable these past few days. I think it's because you've been reading so much that they're like this. You should read less in the future."
Although Old Gu complained, he was actually very concerned.
They have been together for over sixty years, and the older they get, the more worried they become about each other's health.
He would carefully write down any casual remark his wife made on a daily basis.
Grandma Gu chuckled.
"The basic pastry book that Aunt Mei recently picked out is a classic. I'll stop reading after I finish this one. By the way, Ah Ye, why haven't you brought Qian Mo home lately? I'd like to make some pastries for her to try."
"Isn't it inappropriate for her to come now?" Gu Jueye made a move and replied to Old Madam Gu in a deep voice.
Old Master Gu glanced at Gu Jueye: "What do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush!"
"What are you two planning to do about the marriage arranged by my great-grandfather?"
Old Master Gu gave a snort, knowing that this young man must have something to say today.
"The marriage between your great-grandfather and the Huo family did surprise me, but judging from the marriage certificate that the Huo family girl brought, it is indeed your great-grandfather's handwriting."
"Are you planning to accept this marriage?"
Grandpa Gu dropped a black stone.
"Your great-grandfather's dying wish is something I can't fulfill. However, the Gu family won't shirk their responsibility for the marriage. As for who will marry this daughter of the Huo family, the marriage contract doesn't specify her name. You probably already figured that out, didn't you?"
Gu Jueye smiled slightly and placed another white piece on the chessboard.
"So today I've come to ask you two for a favor."
Grandma Gu smiled and looked at Gu Jueye: "Just say what you want to say. You've always liked to beat around the bush since you were little."
"I'm planning to get engaged to Qianmo. You two don't have any objections, do you?"
