"I was thinking of inviting you to my home, but I really can't handle it."
"Let's wait until your brother-in-law is free next time. After all, we're family. I'll definitely have him treat you to a meal."
Shen Zhihuan was amused by Shen Ling's words.
"You even invited me to dinner? With your stingy ways, which are inherited from Fang Qiaolan, you'd probably be so stingy that you couldn't sleep even if you offered someone a glass of water."
Shen Ling's face turned green from her retort, but she still forced a smile and said awkwardly:
"Zhihuan, stop joking. Your brother-in-law is so rich and loves me so much, how could he not even be willing to give you a meal?"
If Shen Zhihuan hadn't known that Gu Yuchuan's "true love" was someone else, she might have actually believed her lies.

"Congratulations! You two are so lucky to be expecting your second child so soon."
"It seems that it won't be long before Lele has brothers and sisters."
Gu Yuchuan felt his heart skip a beat upon hearing this, and couldn't help but look up at Shen Zhihuan's face with a probing gaze.
The people in this courtyard don't know who Lele's biological mother is; they all think that he kindly adopted the child.
Adopted children and biological children cannot be compared.
Even when others congratulate him, they will say it's because he's going to have a biological child.
It's one thing that Shen Zhihuan's tone sounded strange, but why did she specifically mention that it was her second child?
