Since Madam Gu had said so, Ji Zhinan naturally had no reason to refuse, and she nodded: "Okay."
After dinner, Gu Yibei was sent to work by Madam Gu, who disliked her, while she went to the apartment with Ji Zhinan.
Ji Zhinan entered the building, took the elevator, and entered the door lock code.
This is in China, and Madam Gu doesn't have much of a entourage when she goes out. She's only accompanied by a maid who has been serving her since she was in Y country.
After entering the apartment, Mrs. Gu walked around and looked around.
Ji Zhinan is usually busy with work, and when he's not working, he's busy with his studies or other things. He doesn't have any requirements for his place of residence and hasn't spent any time decorating it. So his apartment is decorated in an overly simple way, just like the place of a single man, without any feminine touch.
She's clean and tidy, not like a sloppy girl, that's good.
I glanced at the bathroom and bedroom again; there were obvious signs that it was a single woman living there, which was good.
Madam Gu nodded in satisfaction.
Ji Zhinan took several documents from the study to bring to the company, and bumped into Madam Gu, who was looking around, as she came out.
Upon seeing what was in her hand, Madam Gu frowned slightly.
"I see you haven't learned anything from being with Gu Yibei, but you've learned to be a workaholic."
She angrily accused, "Girls don't need to work as hard as men; they just need to dress up beautifully like princesses."
Ji Zhinan touched his hair, silently enduring Madam Gu's scolding.
"Also, I just checked the kitchen, and that pot hasn't been used at all. Do you usually eat takeout? Don't you know that a balanced diet is essential for good health? Why don't you young people think about your health? Are you going to regret it when you're old and have health problems?"
Although Madam Gu kept nagging, Ji Zhinan felt incredibly warm inside.
Because only a mother cares about her child's health and will use the worst tone to say the warmest words.
Madam Ji had never cared so much about her food and lodging, while Madam Gu, whom she had only known for a few days, treated her like her own child.
For Madam Gu, a noblewoman of high standing, to waste her precious time grumbling like an ordinary mother proves that she truly cares.
Ji Zhinan smiled and reached out to grab her hand.
Madam Gu, who had been muttering to herself, suddenly stopped talking.
"Auntie," she said softly, her voice small, "thank you."
"..."
Mrs. Gu was instantly rendered speechless by her gentle words and didn't know what to do for a moment.
After a long while, she coughed once and said in a deliberately fierce tone, "Don't think that I won't scold you just because you say thank you. My son's girlfriend must have good eating and living habits. Otherwise, how can I expect you to set an example and let my son develop good habits as well?"
Ji Zhinan nodded in agreement.
"Nodding isn't enough. You have to do it, understand?" Madam Gu poked her head, giving her instructions.
"Okay," Ji Zhinan replied.
Although she agreed, Madam Gu was still uneasy: "No, you young people are too perfunctory in your appearances. I don't believe you. Qiqi!"
Madam Gu called out to her personal maid, Qiqi.
Qiqi immediately replied, "Madam."
"Notify Butler He to send a few people over to help pack, and then dump the luggage at Jiujin Platinum Palace."
"Madam?" Ji Zhinan was taken aback.
“You are my son’s girlfriend, it is only right that he supports you.”
