Chang Hui’s eyes lit up. “A store in West Town? Which part of West Town?”

Lin Yu smiled. “It’s on West Town’s 2nd Street. It’s the Xi family’s famous jewelry store; many custors far and wide go to buy things there because of its reputation. My mother-in-law said that, to show her sincerity, she’s giving it to you. You can go over whenever it’s convenient, and we’ll complete the transfer procedures on the spot.”

Chang Hui grinned from ear to ear. “Alright, okay. Oh, you and your mother-in-law! This is too much! This—I’m a little too embarrassed to accept this.”

Lin Yu hurriedly replied, “When all’s said and done, with my relationship with

Gu Man, we’re family. Go ahead and take it; this is just a small courtesy. Your Gu family has just arrived in Rong City and has yet to familiarize yourselves with the businesses here. If Uncle Gu Ping and Uncle Gu An need anything, just let Xi Cheng know.”

“Don’t worry,” Lin Yu added. “Xi Cheng is quite capable when it cos to work. That matter with Gu Man was really… *sigh* It was truly because he lost his conduct after drinking too much. He’s also incredibly chagrined about it. I was hoping you could talk to Uncle Gu Ping and give Xi Cheng so errands, even if it’s sothing small and inconsequential—it would resolve this awkwardness. At least it would lighten Xi Cheng’s guilt and let him know you elders don’t bla him.”

Chang Hui bead. “Oh, don’t be so formal, dearie! When you go ho, tell Xi Cheng it’s okay and don’t take it to heart. Gu Man is your best friend, and he only did that because he was drunk out of his mind, so it’s forgivable. A big man like him shouldn’t worry so much about these small things. However, Auntie does have a request for you, Lin Yu.”

Lin Yu quickly straightened up and listened carefully. Chang Hui was even more satisfied with Lin Yu’s attitude and stated, “Help make an appointnt with your mother-in-law. Arrange a ti for us to drink tea and go shopping together.”

Lin Yu hurriedly said, “There’s no need to be so polite. My mother-in-law is soone who likes to be lively the most. She often complains about the generation gap between us and doesn’t want to accompany her. If you could et up with her often and ask her out, my mother-in-law would definitely be happy.”

Yun Liu watched from the sidelines as the Xi family’s future young mistress managed to butter up Chang Hui with just a few sentences and couldn’t help but feel amazed. The thods she herself used to charm Gu Wei and Zheng Xiu were child’s play in comparison. Moreover, her cousin Gu Man could only stand at the side and didn’t even have a chance to interrupt. Yun Liu had never been one to be impressed by anyone, but at this mont, Lin Yu really impressed her.

Lin Yu took her leave, so Yun Liu also quickly excused herself; hence, Chang Hui asked Yun Liu to send their guest off on her behalf. After they exited the house, Lin Yu leaned against her car door and coughed non-stop. Yun Liu hurriedly went up and asked concernedly, “Are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?”

Lin Yu stopped coughing, her face slightly flushed as she smiled at Yun Liu. “Thanks, but I’m fine. If I rember correctly, you’re the young lady the Gu family found after going missing for many years, right?”

Yun Liu nodded lightly, showing a hint of forlornness in her expression. Chang Hui didn’t introduce her to Lin Yu the whole ti, completely turning a blind eye to Lin Yu. Therefore, she should act humble and unhappy before Lin Yu.

Lin Yu looked at Yun Liu and praised, “You’re very beautiful. The Gu family’s

daughters are indeed extraordinary.”

Yun Liu’s lips curled up slightly. “From what you said, I take it you know my adoptive sister, Yun Nan. My looks aren’t worth ntioning before Yun Nan.” They were both shrewd, so there’s no need to waste ti saying anything more.

As expected, Lin Yu understood, and her smile beca more genuine. “Of course I know her. Didn’t you hear it back there? Even now, Gu Man still wants to marry Shi Nian. I have to do my best to help her, or she won’t give up on Xi

Cheng otherwise.”

Yun Liu stared at Lin Yu. “Can you really break Yun Nan and Shi Nian up?

“So, you also want to marry Shi Nian?” Lin Yu asked bluntly; such directness stunned Yun Liu.

Lin Yu chuckled, “I heard about the scandal between you and Shi Nian. I didn’t expect Yun Nan to beat you to it. The Shi family and our Xi family have been friends for generations; Shi Nian and Xi Cheng are also best friends. There’s nothing they don’t tell each other.”

Yun Liu gazed at Lin Yu, her eyes wide open in disbelief. Lin Yu glanced at the mansion behind Yun Liu and smiled. “1 don’t care who Shi Nian marries, but there’s no way I’ll help soone who covets my husband. It’s best if soone like that doesn’t even have the right to see him again.”

Yun Liu also smiled and relaxed. “You have a point. Since the Shi and Xi families are on good terms, it would be convenient for anyone marrying into the Shi family to et Xi Cheng in the future. Don’t worry, Lin Yu, I’ll help you keep the riff-raff away.”

Lin Yu’s smile deepened. “Yun Liu, you’re so kind, beautiful, and smart. That’s how a daughter-in-law of the Shi family should be..”
