Grandma Gu took a slow sip of tea before speaking gently, "Qian Ning is indeed an outstanding young lady."
Seeing that the old lady had a good impression of Ye Qianning, Ye Yuzhen was secretly pleased.
"Qian Ning is a good girl in every way, but her marriage is a worry. Her mother mentioned this to me a few days ago and asked me to help look around for suitable candidates. I was thinking that Qian Ning and Lao Qi grew up together, so if we could match Lao Qi and Qian Ning up, it would be a good match."
Grandma Gu lowered her eyes and smiled silently: "That's a good idea. Seventh Brother is at home right now, so you can tell him about this idea. If he agrees, his grandfather and I will naturally give it our full support."
Ye Yuzhen's smile froze slightly. The seventh son had been introverted and deep since childhood, making it difficult for people to guess his thoughts. In fact, his family members were all quite afraid of him.
If she could just go directly to Lao Qi and ask, she wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble to come to the old lady's place.
Ye Yuzhen wasn't stupid. After thinking it over carefully, she realized that although the old lady seemed to approve, she had actually passed the buck to the seventh son in an instant.
Is this a clear indication that they don't want to arrange this marriage and are just playing games with me?
Both of them were perfectly clear-headed, able to understand each other immediately with just a few words.
Ye Yuzhen pondered for a while. The old lady and the old man always spoke with one mind. Since they had brought that girl home, the old man must have given his permission as well.
Therefore, there's little chance of arranging a marriage between Qian Ning and Lao Qi through the elders.
It seems the only option is to try and get through to the seventh child's parents.

Bai Qianmo and Gu Xinyi had just walked out the door when...
Gu Xinyi suddenly turned around and stood in front of Bai Qianmo. Because she was half a head shorter than Bai Qianmo, she could only raise her head slightly and glare at her fiercely.
"What is your relationship with my seventh uncle?"
Bai Qianmo raised her eyebrows slightly. In fact, she had guessed before leaving that Gu Xinyi had called her out alone, and it must not be as simple as just taking her for a walk around the garden.
Seeing that Bai Qianmo remained silent, Gu Xinyi snorted: "Hmph, countless women would want to throw themselves at a man like my seventh uncle, but let me tell you, my seventh uncle already has a girlfriend."
Bai Qianmo glanced at Gu Xinyi indifferently, her beautiful face showing little emotional change.
"so what?"
Gu Xinyi said angrily, "So you'd better give up on that idea. My seventh uncle and my sister Qian Ning grew up together. They are childhood sweethearts with a deep bond. The Gu and Ye families have always thought highly of them as a couple."
"Those two are the most compatible. Ha, someone like you isn't even as good as one of my sister Qian Ning's fingers, no, not even as good as a fingernail!"
Ye Qianning?
Bai Qianmo's long eyelashes trembled slightly as an intellectual and elegant figure flashed through her mind.
So it was the female doctor I met at the military hospital that day?
Why aren't you angry?
Seeing that Bai Qianmo had no expression at all, Gu Xinyi's anger deflated like a punctured balloon.
Bai Qianmo gave a noncommittal laugh: "Why would I be angry?"
Putting aside the fact that Ye Qianning and Gu Jueye don't seem to have that kind of relationship, even if they really did, it doesn't seem like it's her place to be angry, right?
Gu Xinyi frowned deeply, looking at him with an expression as if he were a monster.
"When I told you that Uncle Qi has a woman he likes, and that the two of them are childhood sweethearts, didn't you feel even a little jealous?"
That shouldn't be the case. If it were her, she would have been so angry that she would have hit someone.
Bai Qianmo put away the playful look on her face and stared at Gu Xinyi with a leisurely air.
"Then let me ask you, who told you that your seventh uncle likes your sister Qian Ning?"
Bai Qianmo's eyes seemed to pierce through people's eyes, striking straight to their souls with their clarity.
Gu Xinyi felt uneasy under his gaze, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.
"Do we need to hear anyone's opinion on this? Everyone can see that Uncle Qi has never had any other woman by his side except for Sister Qian Ning all these years. Isn't that an obvious fact?"
In Gu Xinyi's heart, she firmly believed that Uncle Qi and Sister Qian Ning were a couple. Moreover, Sister Qian Ning herself admitted that she liked Uncle Qi. The two of them hadn't dated anyone all these years, weren't they just waiting for each other?
Bai Qianmo glanced at Gu Xinyi, wanting to laugh at her childish idea.
This girl probably heard a lot of misleading information from Ye Qianning, and coupled with a young girl's imagination, she conjured up a touching love story of devoted lovers in her mind.
Gu Xinyi was secretly annoyed when she saw Bai Qianmo staring at her as if she were an ignorant child.
This brat isn't much older than me, why is she pretending to be so profound?
It really infuriated her; it was nothing like the tough battle she had imagined.
She thought that after she called Bai Qianmo out, the two of them would argue, and then Bai Qianmo would run to her great-grandmother in a fit of anger to complain. At that time, she would be able to let her seventh uncle, great-grandmother, and great-grandfather see the girl's true colors.
But in the current situation, no matter how harsh the words he said, why wasn't Bai Qianmo angry at all? She didn't even show a hint of anger.
On the contrary... on the contrary, that look seemed to be mocking her?
A nameless anger suddenly flared up inside him, and he angrily rebuked her.
"What's with that expression? Are you trying to mock me? Bai Qianmo, I'm warning you, stay away from my Seventh Uncle from now on. Even if he's bewitched by your vixen face, it's only temporary. My Seventh Uncle's true love is definitely my Sister Qianning, and she'll be the one to walk down the aisle in the end. They're a match made in heaven! Don't even think about interfering in their relationship!"
