In the living room, Feifei took the initiative to chat with Wang Huili for a few minutes, breaking the awkward silence.
Wang Huili was overjoyed to see that the little girl was not only pretty and charming, but also eloquent and articulate, exuding the refinement and elegance of an intellectual.
Originally, she didn't have high requirements for her daughter-in-law. She just needed someone from an average family, a high school graduate, and a gentle personality. But unexpectedly, her ambitious son brought her home the epitome of a daughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, Bai Haitang walked out of the Imperial Capital compound dejectedly.
A bicycle rode towards her, its bell ringing urgently, but she didn't even notice.
"Watch out, comrade!"
The cyclist couldn't brake in time and crashed straight into Bai Haitang.
"oops!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, comrade, are you hurt?"
Without waiting for anyone to help her up, Bai Haitang dusted off her clothes and stood up.
She moved her ankles and knees and found nothing seriously wrong.
The bicycle came at a slow speed.
"It's okay, I'm not hurt."
The cyclist picked up her bag.
Bai Haitang looked up and saw that the other person was a young man, only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with handsome features and a fairly tall stature.
He was wearing a machine factory worker's uniform and looked at her apologetically.
"Comrade, my name is Chu Chaoyang. I work at the Imperial Capital Machinery Manufacturing Plant. How about I leave you my contact information? If you feel unwell, just contact me."
Bai Haitang smiled and said, "It's just a fall, nothing to be so delicate about!"
Chu Chaoyang confirmed with her several times before he felt relieved.
"Comrade, let me ask you something. This is a compound in the capital, right? Do you know how to get to the Gu family's house?"
Bai Haitang asked, "Are you asking about Teacher Gu and Principal Fang's home?"
Chu Chaoyang nodded: "That's right!"
Bai Haitang enthusiastically pointed out the way: "Go in through this gate, walk east, there's an osmanthus tree in front of their house, right next to the Yang family's house..."
The mere mention of Yang Zinuo brought a pang of sadness to Bai Haitang's heart.
Chu Chaoyang nodded gratefully, said goodbye to Bai Haitang, and entered the Imperial Capital Compound.
He had just arrived at the Gu family's door when he ran into Gu Zhiyun, who was about to leave.
The two looked at each other, both stunned.
Gu Zhiyun hadn't seen Chu Chaoyang for two years. If he hadn't run into him, he would have almost forgotten that the man existed.
Chu Chaoyang's appearance reminded him that back then, this kid had been pursuing Jingya as a girlfriend. When Jingya got into university, he even ran to the school looking for her.
Wasn't he a technician from the county? How did he end up in the capital?
"Gu Zhiqing, it's been a long time!"
Chu Chaoyang gave a slightly awkward smile. "Um, are we going out?"
Gu Zhiyun asked calmly, "How did you end up here?"

Chu Chaoyang proudly pointed to the name tag on his uniform and said, "I'm a technician at the Imperial Capital Machinery Manufacturing Plant now. Hehe, it's actually related to you! Aren't you researching airplanes, rockets, and satellites? The factory I work at produces those parts!"
Gu Zhiyun gave a nonchalant "Oh".
Two grown men who were once rivals in love were awkwardly chatting face to face, creating a rather strange scene.
"Um—is Jingya home?"
Gu Zhiyun immediately became alert upon hearing that Chu Chaoyang wanted to find Jingya.
"Do you need to see Jingya?"
"Something came up," Chu Chaoyang said. "Jingya opened a farm, right? Before the New Year, our factory canteen bought a batch of corn from Jingya's farm, and everyone thought it was delicious! The steamed buns made from that cornmeal were even tastier than white flour buns! The canteen chef knew that I knew Jingya, so he wanted me to come and talk to Jingya about purchasing grain next year."
Upon hearing that it was a legitimate business, Gu Zhiyun's doubts were dispelled.
"Brother Yun, who are you talking to?"
Hearing the voices outside, Shen Jingyan came out.
"Brother Chaoyang! Long time no see! Come in and have a seat!"
Upon seeing Chu Chaoyang again, Shen Jingyan was both surprised and delighted.
Gu Zhiyun was a little unhappy when she called him "brother".
We're not related, we're just ordinary friends at most, why are you calling each other so affectionately?
He'd never seen his young wife call him that before.
When Chu Chaoyang saw Shen Jingyan, he blushed a little when she looked into her bright, intelligent eyes.
Shen Jingyan invited Chu Chaoyang to her home, where she served him tea and fruit.
Originally, Gu Zhiyun went out to find Old Man Xu. The application for the laboratory had been approved and needed his signature for confirmation. He was quite anxious before leaving, but now he didn't want to go anymore.
Seeing Gu Zhiyun put down his handbag and come back in, Shen Jingyan asked curiously, "Brother Yun, didn't you need Grandpa's signature? Why aren't you going yet?"
Gu Zhiyun sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "No rush, we have guests at home, we'll leave later."
Shen Jingyan waved her hand and said, "Brother Chaoyang is no outsider. I can take care of him at home."
