Kong Zhen couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Yun Liu when she heard this, and some thoughts began to stir in her mind. She pulled Yun Liu to her side and said, “I also think Yun Liu’s a fine girl!”

Lin Yu smiled. “Then why don’t you let Yun Liu be your daughter-in-law? Our Xi family doesn’t have more sons available for marriage, but it’ll be a shame to lose such a good girl to an outsider.”

Kong Zhen laughed, and Han Yuan teased, “Well, what are you waiting for,

Kong Zhen? If I have another son, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance at her! Anyone that our Lin Yu has taken a fancy to is naturally outstanding.”

Yun Liu remained shyly silent amidst everyone’s teasing. Her demure manner moved Kong Zhen even more, and Kong Zhen thought to herself that she must create more opportunities for her son to spend time with this girl.

While Kong Zhen was busy coming up with plans to match her son and Yun

Liu, Shi Gao pulled Han Yuan close and spent quite some time badmouthing Gu

Man, which was akin to expressing her loyalty to Han Yuan and Lin Yu. Han Yuan was originally cold to Shi Gao because of Gu Man, but she finally felt at ease and warmed up to Shi Gao when she saw this.

Han Yuan’s attitude softened, and she uttered, “Shi Gao, Auntie truly is blind when judging people!”

Shi Gao hurriedly said, “That’s not true at all, Auntie. Lin Yu and I feel even more ashamed if you say that. Lin Yu’s already quite guilty over this matter. It’s our fault for mistakenly making the wrong friend, and it almost led to a big mess. Fortunately, you were there to keep everything under control and decisively dealt with the situation.”

Shi Gao continued, “Otherwise, with Lin Yu’s soft personality, I don’t even dare to think about what would’ve happened. Lin Yu even told me today that all the misfortune she had experienced in the past was so she could meet a mother-in-law like you. ”

Han Yuan was pleased to hear that. She looked up at Lin Yu and saw that the girl’s eyes had indeed reddened, and she couldn’t help but pull her over. “I treat her well because she deserves it!”

Han Yuan was also very satisfied with Shi Gao and remarked, “Shi Gao, you’re a good girl, unlike those with ill intentions. I’m sure you’ll find your happiness!”

Lin Yu and Shi Gao exchanged glances where no one else could see. They’d finally passed this hurdle and completely removed Gu Man’s influence.

Kong Zhen had taken a shine to Yun Liu and was very close to Yun Liu. She asked Yun Liu to go with her when she was about to leave.

“I knew it!” Lin Yu joked with Han Yuan. “Auntie Kong Zhen wants to take Yun Liu home and make her her daughter-in-law!” Kong Zhen didn’t mind and left with Yun Liu.

Curious, Han Yuan inquired, “Are you two intending to help that girl marry into the Liang family?”

Lin Yu gently massaged Han Yuan’s shoulders and arms as she answered, “That’s not something we can decide; these things are up to fate. But, Yun Liu has caught Madam Liang’s eyes, and if she does manage to marry into the Liang family, with the relationship between us girls, Liang Han will naturally be close to Xi Cheng.”

Lin Yu continued, “Though we’re one of the four big families in Rong City, we’re not on the best terms with the Ye family currently; that’ll definitely affect the cooperation between our two families in the future. We don’t have problems with the Shi family, but the Shi family isn’t exactly close with us, either! If Yun Liu does get together with Liang Han, then our families…”

Han Yuan nodded approvingly and patted Lin Yu’s hand. “Good thinking! I hadn’t thought of that. Our men are too busy with their work out there to care about such things, so we women have to think about these things for them all the time. They can only depend on us on such matters.”

Shi Gao chuckled, “Lin Yu is only so perceptive thanks to your teachings, Auntie. But I admit that Lin Yu is very quick on the uptake. She has me beat there.”

Han Yuan was very pleased with Shi Gao’s attitude and said, “You’ll also have to be like Lin Yu when you’re married. Do your best to learn; don’t say I play favorites and didn’t teach you!”

“That’s right!” Lin Yu teased. “You’re lucky you’re my friend and get to join me in class!”

The three of them laughed and chatted for a while. Then, Han Yuan asked Lin

Yu seriously, “Do you think that Yun Liu can succeed?”

Lin Yu gave it some thought before replying, “That depends on Auntie Kong Zhen, but Yun Liu is quite smart. She used to like Shi Nian, but she naturally can’t pester him anymore now that Shi Nian is married.”

Han Yuan’s face darkened. “Xu Yun is simply blind! Look at the daughters-in-law she chose—each one is worse than the last! Hmph! I’ll definitely mock her after we’re done with your wedding ceremony! Just wait and see. She’s so proud of them now, but she’ll come crying in the future. Having two such unpresentable women as her daughters-in -law—what a disgrace!”

“That eldest daughter-in-law of hers calls herself an artist and looks down on everyone else. Hmph! Her other daughter-in-law works in the entertainment industry. None of those ilk are decent people. What a joke!”

Shi Gao loved hearing people badmouth Xiang Yang and couldn’t keep the smile off her face. “The Shi family’s daughters-in -law all work in artistic industries, unlike Lin Yu and I, who are more mundane. The others out there probably all praise and admire them. You’re the only one who would prefer us over them, Auntie.”

Han Yuan snorted.. “They’re just saying nice things about those girls because of the Shi family’s influence! Who would like a daughter-in-law like them?

Hmph!”
