Gu Fanyan wondered, how could Yun Wanqing, who was originally so proud and arrogant, suddenly be willing to lower herself so much?
Could it be that her gambling debts have truly made her turn over a new leaf?
“Yes,” Gu Fanyan nodded, “It’s good that you’re willing to do things. I will tell the chief secretary to give you more tasks.”
"Thank you, Sister Fanyan." Yun Wanqing left with immense gratitude.
In the afternoon, when the chief secretary came to report to Gu Fanyan, he said, "Yun Wanqing was particularly proactive at work today, saying that you encouraged her, Miss."
Gu Fanyan asked, "How can you be proactive?"
"They're always eager to do any kind of work," the chief secretary replied. "They even take on the job of changing the water bottles in the break room."
Gu Fanyan thought to herself, "It seems Yun Wanqing is serious."
"If she likes to work, let her do it. Just keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble," Gu Fanyan instructed.
She had arranged to have dinner with Murong Mo and his mother tonight, so she left early.
At 6:30 p.m., she met with Murong Mo and his mother at the restaurant.
Although it wasn't a private room, the seats were all covered by curtains, so the privacy was quite good.
"Miss Gu is even more beautiful than in the photos!" Upon meeting her, Murong's mother made no attempt to hide her affection for Gu Fanyan, and deliberately sat down next to her, taking her hand in hers.
"Xiao Mo has found such a beautiful girlfriend, with a high level of education and strong abilities. How could our Xiao Mo be worthy of her!" Murong's mother said with a smile.
Gu Fanyan was a little embarrassed by the praise. "Auntie, I'm not as good as you say... You can just call me Fanyan."
However, she felt that when Murong Mo was called "Xiao Mo," his original aloof artistic temperament vanished.
He was transformed into a chibi version of Murong Mo.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.
That smile was like a rose blooming in the night, exquisitely beautiful and mysterious...
"Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo?" Murong's mother called several times.
Murong Mo snapped back to reality, only then realizing that he hadn't noticed his gaze fixed on Gu Fanyan's lips...
"Mom, let's order." Murong Mo said immediately, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
"What are you ordering? The food is already on the table!"
The dishes have indeed been served.
"What a silly boy!" Murong's mother scolded. "I told you to put this necklace on Fanyan."
Murong Mo quickly agreed and opened the jewelry box she handed him.
The dazzling light of the diamonds immediately dazzled Gu Fanyan's eyes.
Gu Fanyan was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook her head: "Auntie, this gift is too precious, I can't accept it."
Although she had many more valuable pieces of jewelry, this gift from Murong's mother was still too extravagant for their first meeting.
“It’s just a necklace,” Murong’s mother laughed. “Besides, any girl that our Xiao Mo likes is worthy of anything, no matter how expensive.”
Murong Mo also said, "Fan Yan, please accept this gift from my mother."
Gu Fanyan then stopped refusing and accepted the offer.
Murong Mo came to her and personally put the necklace on her... She could feel his fingers trembling.
There was tension, but also joy.
Gu Fanyan lowered her eyes, a wave of emotion washing over her.
This is a kind of cherishing that is different from that of parents.
"It's so beautiful!" After the necklace was put on, Murong's mother immediately exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"
She looked at it and shook her head again: "If the diamond were bigger, it would be even more elegant and luxurious."
“Diamonds that are too big are not good!” Murong Mo had his own opinion. “Fan Yan is beautiful enough. Any jewelry can only serve as an embellishment.”
"If it's too big, it won't highlight her beauty."
"What are you saying? Can't our Fanyan wear jewelry?" Murong's mother pouted. "The jewelry in my safe is all waiting for Fanyan to wear!"
Murong Mo frowned: "Mom, are you serious? Your jewelry is so tacky!"
"So you've always thought your mother was too plain. Good riddance, otherwise how could you have found someone like Fan Yan?" Murong's mother wasn't angry at all; instead, she happily admired Gu Fan Yan.
"It looks beautiful, it's beautiful!" she nodded repeatedly.
"Miss Gu," a waiter's voice suddenly rang out from behind the curtain, "someone is looking for you, saying..."
"President Gu." Before the waiter could finish speaking, Yun Wanqing's voice came through.
Then, a curtain was lifted, and Yun Wanqing appeared at the table holding a document.
Seeing the astonished Murong Mo and his mother, Gu Fanyan explained, "Her name is Yun Wanqing, and she works in the secretary's office at my company."
Yun Wanqing then introduced herself: "I grew up with Sister Fanyan. Sister Fanyan is a very nice person, and all of us kids like her very much."
"What brings you here?" Gu Fanyan interrupted her.
"President Gu, there's an urgent document that needs your signature." Yun Wanqing handed over the folder, her gaze lingering on Gu's neck.
"Wow!" she exclaimed dramatically, "Sister Fanyan, this necklace of yours is so beautiful! It looks great on you too!"
Gu Fanyan gave a light "hmm" and handed the signed document back to Yun Wanqing, saying, "Take the document back."
Yun Wanqing nodded, but her gaze fell on Murong Mo and his mother. "Sister Fanyan, why don't you introduce these two? Are they your fiancé and future mother-in-law?"
Murong's mother looked at Gu Fanyan, seemingly waiting for her answer.
Gu Fanyan said, "Mr. Murong, you've met her before. This is his mother, Mrs. Murong."
Yun Wanqing quickly greeted the two of them and said, "Sister Fanyan, getting married is a joyous occasion! I'm looking forward to eating your wedding candy!"
Gu Fanyan forced a smile.
She described things that had never been mentioned before in great detail.
After Yun Wanqing left, Gu Fanyan felt somewhat troubled.
If Murong's mother followed up on Yun Wanqing's words and asked her what she should say?
However, when Murong's mother spoke up, she only said, "The beef rolls at this restaurant are very good. Xiao Mo, order another one for me."
Murong Mo nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Murong's mother continued, "I've heard of a method of raising cattle that doesn't involve artificial breeding, but rather herding a group of cattle together and letting them mate and produce offspring freely, with the owner not interfering at all."
"I think this method is great. Calves born in a beautiful love affair will definitely have good meat quality when they grow up."
Gu Fanyan couldn't help but chuckle.
Murong's mother was discussing the quality of the beef very seriously.
It was also an attempt to ease the tension.
Both mother and son are very good people.
When he got home, his mother was waiting for him and came up to him with concern.
Seeing the slight smile on her daughter's face, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems the meal was quite good."
Gu Fanyan nodded, "Mrs. Murong is a very nice person."
"Have you considered making her your mother-in-law?" Gu's mother didn't mince words.
