Old Lady Mu remained silent.
Since it was the New Year’s Day, Mu Baicheng’s attitude softened a bit, "Mom, I’ve got this all figured out; you can rest assured, I won’t end up alone. "
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mu finally looked up, "Then when can you bring a daughter-in-law home for me to see?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Lady Mu continued, "I don’t care, anyway, I want to see you bring someone back before Xiaodong gets married."
Mu Baicheng smiled faintly, "Okay."
Old Lady Mu was startled, thinking she had heard wrong, "What did you say?"
Usually, whenever she brought up the matter, her son would casually respond that there was no rush. She hadn’t expected that today he’d actually nod and agree!
Something seemed a bit off.
Could it be...
He was already making moves on someone.
With this thought, Old Lady Mu was extremely excited.
As a mother, Old Lady Mu naturally trusted her son’s judgment in choosing a partner.
After spending so many years, the partner he chose would certainly not be bad.
Mu Baicheng repeated what he had just said.
Old Lady Mu became even more excited, "That’s what you said!"
Mu Baicheng nodded, "Yes, I said it."
He was full of confidence about his trip to Qing City.
Furthermore.
As far as he knew, Mu Xiaodong had no plans to marry in the next three years.
Three years was plenty of time.
Fang Hongyu glanced at Mu Baicheng.
She knew that Mu Baicheng’s words were just to appease Old Lady Mu.
After all, Old Lady Mu was getting on in years; whether she would live to see Mu Xiaodong marry was another matter.
With this in mind, Fang Hongyu turned to Mu Baicheng, "Brother Baicheng, I’ll be waiting for your good news."
"Mm." Mu Baicheng nodded.
Fang Hongyu saw in Mu Baicheng’s eyes his reluctance to part from her, continuing, "Then you definitely have to invite me to your wedding banquet when the time comes."
Before Mu Baicheng could speak, Old Lady Mu chimed in with a laugh, "Hongyu, don’t worry, we definitely won’t leave you out of the wedding banquet."
"I’ll be awaiting the joyous news."
Mu Baicheng did not continue the conversation but stood up and said, "Mom, I’m going upstairs."
"Go ahead."
There was nothing left for Mu Baicheng to do downstairs anyway.
Fang Hongyu knew why Mu Baicheng wanted to go upstairs; he was simply too shy to spend more time with her, after all, she was someone Mu Baicheng cherished deeply.

Qing City.
Lin Guixiang came to bring the kids some fruits and pastries. Just as she stepped into Lin Wu’s bedroom, she saw the small pieces of paper stuck to Lin Wu’s face.
It looked like a major loss.
Lin Guixiang couldn’t help but smile, "Xiao Wu, how did you lose so badly?"
She remembered that Lin Wu’s card skills were always very good.
"Auntie, am I as bad as her?" Upon hearing this, Shen Lijun turned around from playing games on the computer.
What Shen Lijun had on her face were not small notes anymore.
It was a turtle, drawn with colorful paint markers.
Vivid and colorful at that.
"I’m even worse off than she is."
"The worst off is me."
Miao Yajing and Qiao Ran also turned around at that moment.
Seeing the three little turtles in front of her, Lin Guixiang couldn’t help laughing out loud, "Stop playing, have some watermelon, and stay for dinner. I’ll make seafood feast for you tonight."
Lin Wu picked up a slice of watermelon, "My mom’s cooking skills are really good, you guys are in for a treat."
Thinking of Lin Guixiang’s mushroom beef sauce, Shen Lijun and Miao Yajing instinctively swallowed their saliva, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Thank you for your hard work, Auntie."
Meanwhile.
Lin Guimei had completed the name-changing procedures with Sun Shanshan.
As they walked out of the police station, Sun Shanshan turned to Lin Guimei, "Mom, when do we start posting on Weibo?"
Lin Guimei narrowed her eyes, "Tonight."
The detailed marketing plan was already in place.
Such matters were better done sooner rather than later. Plus, it was Beauty Chant’s vacation period, and every department was at rest. Bursting forth with public opinion now would surely catch Lin Guixiang off guard.
Hearing this, Sun Shanshan narrowed her eyes.
From today on, she was no longer Sun Shanshan but the heiress of Beauty Chant, Lin Shanshan.
She would make all those who had ridiculed her regret it deeply.
As for Lin Wu.
She would let Lin Wu understand the power of public opinion.
From then on, Beauty Chant would have nothing to do with Lin Wu.
At midnight.
A Weibo post titled #RealNameReportFounderOfBeautyChant# went hot on the trending searches.
In less than an hour after the post, the view count had surpassed two hundred thousand.
The Weibo account was newly registered by Lin Guimei.
Weibo name: A Tree Growing Towards the Sun.
In the video, Lin Guimei held up her ID card and accused sternly, "My name is Lin Guimei, and I am here to report Lin Guixiang in real name. Lin Guixiang is my sister and the founder of Beauty Chant. Thirty years ago, Lin Guixiang was just an abandoned baby nobody wanted. Seeing her pathetic state, unwilling to let her survive on picking trash, my parents kindly adopted her and brought her up. But who knew, after years of hard work and nurturance, it turned out we raised an ungrateful wretch. She didn’t just fail to thank my parents for their kindness, she also snatched away our family’s heirloom palace skincare formula, claiming it as her own! And after making a fortune with our family’s palace secret, she scorned me as a poor relative who would only drag her down and cut ties with me directly, displaying ingratitude and a lack of conscience."
