Ye Wenlan and Gu Qishan weren't there to eat. After exchanging a glance, Ye Wenlan spoke up, 'Qichen, it's been a while since you married Yanfei, so...' 'Mom!' Ye Zhiqiu suddenly raised her head, interrupting Ye Wenlan, 'Try this sweet and sour fish, it's your favorite.' 'I...' Ye Wenlan frowned, clearly displeased with Ye Zhiqiu's interruption, but Ye Zhiqiu didn't care at all about what Ye Wenlan thought. 'Actually, it should have been me and Qichen going back to my parents' home today, but Grandpa just got back today, and he's tired from the journey. It's my fault for not letting you know in advance...' Ye Zhiqiu took all the responsibility upon herself, making it seem as if Ye Wenlan and Gu Qishan's visit was just to 'see their daughter.' Old Master Lu suddenly realized, 'Look at my poor memory, I forgot that today was the day for the bride to return to her parents' home, causing my in-laws to come all this way, it's my fault.' 'In-laws, it's not like that, we came...' Ye Zhiqiu's few words threw Ye Wenlan off balance, and Gu Qishan beside her frowned and spoke up. Ye Zhiqiu put a piece of rib in his bowl, 'Dad, didn't you say you wanted to try the food I cook? Have some more.' Ye Zhiqiu knew she couldn't stop the two of them, but she at least wanted to try hard to keep them from speaking in front of Old Master Lu. Lu Qichen keenly sensed that the purpose of their visit was not as simple as 'seeing their daughter,' 'Dad, Mom, it was my oversight. How about this, tomorrow Yanfei and I will go back to my parents' home, and I also want to discuss some company matters with Dad.' 'Alright, alright, let's settle it like that.'

Ye Wenlan's face was filled with smiles, 'Tomorrow I'll have the family prepare a meal, and you all can come over for dinner.' 'Okay.' She had tried so hard for so long to get the two of them to stop talking, but a single sentence from Lu Qichen made them willingly shut their mouths. Having achieved her goal, the two of them prepared to leave after lunch. Ye Zhiqiu was about to clear the table when Ye Wenlan called from the doorway, 'Yan Fei, mom and dad are leaving, come and see us off, I also have something to remind you about.' 'Go ahead, sister-in-law,' Lu Liao took the initiative to take over the clearing work, saying to Ye Zhiqiu. Only then did Ye Zhiqiu put down the towel in her hand, and when she walked up to Ye Wenlan, she affectionately linked arms with Ye Zhiqiu, 'Let's go.' Once they were out the door and no one was around, Ye Zhiqiu shook off Ye Wenlan's arm, 'Ye Wenlan, you will have your answer tomorrow, is there anything else?' 'What, you're my daughter, can't I even talk to you?' Ye Wenlan sneered, but as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Ye Zhiqiu sneer from across, 'There's no one else here, you don't need to put on an act anymore, just say it, what exactly do you want?' 'I see that Lu Qichen treats you pretty well, you wouldn't really have fallen for him, would you?' Ye Wenlan asked sourly, 'I'm warning you, he's Gu Yanfei's husband, I advise you best not to harbor any ill intentions...' 'Don't worry!' Ye Zhiqiu interrupted her impatiently, 'I don't have any feelings for him at all, I can't wait for Gu Yanfei to come back soon, so I can return this position to her.'

So what if Gu Yanfei is back? The person in Lu Qichen's heart is Bai Rongrong. 'At least you have some self-awareness,' Ye Wenlan nodded in satisfaction, 'You two go back tomorrow, and when your Uncle Gu brings up the matter of the Gu family, you help out a bit, understand?' Ye Zhiqiu pondered for a moment, 'I can help, but... I want to see Grandma.' When Ye Zhiqiu mentioned the old lady, a trace of panic flashed in Ye Wenlan's eyes, but it quickly returned to normal as she said to Ye Zhiqiu in front of her, 'Don't worry, as long as you help the Gu family through this difficult time, I will return your grandma to you, and let you and your grandmother reunite as soon as possible.' 'That's what you said.' Ye Wenlan left the Lu family with a cold laugh, getting angrier and angrier on the way home, and couldn't help but turn her head to Gu Qishan in front of her and say, 'Qishan, don't you think Lu Qichen is not as the rumors say?' 'Did you notice too?' Gu Qishan sneered, 'I've told you to keep a close eye on Gu Yanfei, how could I let my own daughter jump into a fire pit? But you, knowing she wanted to run away, you still let her go, I think Yanfei will be spoiled by you sooner or later.' 'What?' Ye Wenlan exclaimed, turning to Gu Qishan in front of her and asked, 'You knew all along that Lu Qichen wasn't that kind of person, why didn't you make it clear to me?' 'I did remind you,' Gu Qishan frowned slightly, 'I told you to keep a close eye on Yanfei, can you blame me?'

"With a look of utter entitlement, Ye Wenlan said, 'If you had just told me outright, how could I have let Yan Fei run off with that poor boy, letting Ye Zhiqiu get her for nothing?' Every time she thought of Lu Qichen's handsome appearance and how he doted on Ye Zhiqiu, Ye Wenlan felt very uncomfortable. Just then, Gu Yanfei called, demanding money, 'Mom, I'm out of money, you better transfer some to me quickly.' 'How can you be out of money again? Didn't I just send you some?' 'How could that little bit of money be enough?' Gu Yanfei grumbled discontentedly, 'I have to spend money on everything now that I'm out here. Stop the chatter and just send me the money.' 'Wait a minute...' An idea suddenly struck Ye Wenlan. Since Lu Qichen was completely different from what was rumored, the reason Gu Yanfei was unwilling to marry him no longer existed. She was not about to stand by and watch such a good man fall into Ye Zhiqiu's hands, 'I'll send you money, but you have to come home for dinner tomorrow.' 'I'm not coming back.' Gu Yanfei, who had been traveling with her boyfriend these past days, although spending her own money, felt much freer than at home and had no intention of returning, 'Mom, just send me the money quickly.' 'I've said it, if you come back, I'll give you the money, otherwise, don't expect a penny.' Ye Wenlan said and then hung up the phone. She was confident that even for money, Gu Yanfei would definitely come back. 'What are you doing?' Gu Qishan, who was driving beside her, frowned, 'Lu Qichen is coming tomorrow. If you call Yanfei back and something goes wrong, what will you do?' 'Don't worry about it, I have my reasons.' Ye Wenlan smiled mysteriously. The next morning, Gu Yanfei knocked on Ye Wenlan's door early, demanding money as soon as she opened her mouth, 'Mom, I'm back, hurry up and give me the money.'"
