Jiang Jingze was momentarily speechless and could only lower his head to admit his mistake.

"It's my fault."

Yue Qingqing quickly helped explain, "Aze also found a lot of professionals to help delete posts and control public opinion, but because the situation has blown up a bit, it's quite troublesome for now. However, the TV station staff who initially exposed my privacy has already been taken into custody for other reasons."

Yue Qingqing learned from the Second Brother that all this was silently done by Jiang Jingze behind the scenes.

Yet he never mentioned a word about it in front of her.

This made Yue Qingqing wonder how many things were happening behind the scenes that she didn't know about.

Fu Ting finally gave a satisfied hum and smiled at Qingqing.

"You've been studying so hard, it's rare for you to come back. Aunt has bought a lot of things over this period, so come and try them on."

Yue Qingqing was dragged to the wardrobe and saw various clothes that were clearly her size in the glass cabinet, along with expensive jewelry.

She was clearly going to be pulled into Fu Ting's favorite dress-up games again.

Jiang Jingze watched helplessly as his girlfriend was completely monopolized by his mother and could only roll up his sleeves and resign himself to the kitchen.

Jiang Chengren swallowed his saliva, feeling grateful for another good meal today.

He was in the same business, but his son's talent was extraordinarily high. Even the chefs they hired back then said there was nothing left to teach him.

It's just a pity that Aze only cooks when it's for his wife, and they can only tag along for a meal.

If he weren't his son, they would have hired him at the highest salary for their most luxurious hotel.

Yue Qingqing had a wonderful time at the Jiang Family, and Fu Ting was reluctant when she left.

"Come play at our house more often after the New Year, don't be shy. Auntie really likes you."

Both families had already agreed that Jiang Jingze would go with the Yue Family to Daye Village for New Year's.

Although Fu Ting was happy to see her son progressing further in his relationship, she was also reluctant to go a few days without seeing him.

All things considered, she hoped her son would marry her sooner.

With the two families united as one, wouldn't visits be much more convenient?

Anyways, they had essentially severed ties with the Jiang Family on that side, so once the marriage is official, they could celebrate New Year's with the Yue Family.

With more people, it's livelier.

Yue Qingqing returned home still feeling warm inside.

Yue Jiandong listened with a smile on his face.

"The in-laws are really great."

Zhang Ying teasingly added, "Acknowledging them as in-laws now? Don't start finding faults with Xiaojiang when you meet him later."

"I'm just testing him, isn't it common for Tang Seng to face the eighty-one trials on his journey? I'm far from that level," Yue Jiandong defended.

At that moment, the phone rang, and Yue Jiandong checked the number before answering.

"Old Pu, what's up so late?"

"This isn't right, aren't you usually careful? There's an error in the accounts again."

"You can't blame the kids for using computers, can you? It's the progress of the era, we can't stay stuck in our ways."

Yue Jiandong was clearly displeased, especially with the New Year approaching and feeling unsettled over such matters.

He spoke half-seriously, half-jokingly, but he knew he had to solve the problem.

"It's quite late now, and I have family to care for. It's not a major issue anyway, so I'll check it out first thing tomorrow."

After hanging up, Yue Jiandong frowned.

"Old Pu used to be quite reliable years ago, but it seems he's drifting over the past couple of years."

Zhang Ying handed her husband a glass of water.

"I also have things to handle tomorrow, so I'll go to the office with you."

Yue Jiandong took the water and used his other hand to rub the back of his neck.

"I appreciate how hard you've been working."

Zhang Ying picked up the remote control and turned to a familiar channel.

The TV was showing a popular palace drama of the moment.

"It's not hard, I should help share some of the burden."

Yue Jiandong was deeply moved, "You're such a great wife, no wonder they say a virtuous wife brings fewer troubles to her husband. With you here, I can feel at ease."

Yue Qingqing looked at her silly mom and chimed in.

"Isn't that true?"

Thanks to mom's wisdom, if it were someone else, the grape trellis at home would've toppled over already [Note].
