The days passed by uneventfully, and Mu Jin's drama was about to be completed.

Nothing happened in the past few months. Basically, Mu Jin was with Ji Xuanming except when she was on the crew. He even picked her up and dropped her off at get off work.

Even though the film and television city is some distance away from his home, it is even more inconvenient, especially since he has to go to work at JM after sending Mu Jin off.

Mu Jin also talked about this matter before, but Ji Xuanming never got tired of it.

In fact, he did most of the work himself, unless something delayed him or he was on a business trip outside H City.

Gu Wei sometimes said that in Ji Xuanming's eyes, Mu Jin was more important than her.

But she was just complaining and didn't really have any thoughts.

That day, a group of rich ladies were having afternoon tea at Ji's house. Originally, this arrangement was not organized by Gu Wei, but her sworn enemy who insisted on going to her house to chat and drink tea for a long time, and then called a few young ladies.

Although Gu Wei didn't get along with that person, she had never had a quarrel with anyone else, so she agreed.

Several people were drinking tea in the Ji family's courtyard. They were originally chatting about their own affairs, family matters, or which nursing home was better, and who had bought something new...

I don't know when the topic turned to Ji Xuanming.

"I heard that good things are coming to the Ji family?"

The man originally just wanted to test him. When Gu Wei heard this, the hand holding the teacup paused, and then she looked at the man without changing her expression.

"Who said that?"

Gu Wei didn't know what Ji Xuanming was planning, so she didn't answer his question directly. She could see that today's game was just to trick her into talking.

It wasn't her first day dealing with these people, so she naturally knew what to say and what to keep secret.

"A few days ago, the circle was saying that your Mr. Ji was preparing to get engaged."

After hearing what the man said, Gu Wei placed the teacup in her hand on the stone table. With a bang, the people in front of her trembled.

In other words, there is not much tea left in the cup, otherwise this person would be in trouble.

They forgot for a moment that Gu Wei also had a hot temper and would explode at any time, especially when she encountered something she didn't like or something related to her.

This person always protects his shortcomings.

No one can verify whether this has been heard or who told it.

But she didn't expect that today, someone would actually dance right in front of her.

"It's useless to listen to anyone. If it really comes to that, I will naturally invite everyone here."

Gu Wei looked at the people in front of her with different expressions and continued speaking.

"But you all know my son's temper. If I disrupt his plans and bring his anger upon your family behind your back, I won't be able to persuade him."

Ji Xuanming silently became the one to take the blame, but what Gu Wei said was true. Ji Xuanming has always been upright. If they really accidentally offended him, the consequences would not be something that women like them could bear.

The man smiled awkwardly and didn't mention the matter again.

Others also laughed it off and passed over the topic.

Seeing this, Gu Wei's expression no longer stern, but she picked up the teacup again and drank slowly.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, they sat for a few minutes and then stood up and said goodbye.

"Don't take it to heart. After all these years, don't you know her personality?"

This person was Gu Wei's close friend. Originally, she had no interest in the gatherings of these wealthy wives, but when she heard that it was organized by that person and was held at Ji's house, she came.

"An An, I just can't stand that person."

An An is Gu Wei's best friend.

Gu Wei looked at the person in front of her with an aggrieved look.

She knew what Gu Wei meant. She was used to acting like a spoiled child. She had known her for decades and had been together since childhood, so she naturally understood.

"I know, then why didn't you agree to it in the first place?"

An An held Gu Wei's hand and patted it.

Gu Wei pursed her lips. She just wanted to see what that person was going to do. Besides, she had always cared about her reputation. It wasn't like that person came alone. She had set up the plan. If she didn't agree, that person would use this matter to stop her.

"You two, it's been so many years and you're still like this."

An An's words brought Gu Wei's thoughts back to her childhood. The three of them lived in the same compound when they were young. They were almost inseparable and of similar age. If some things had not happened later, their relationship would not have become what it is now.

An An sighed.

He walked behind Gu Wei and patted her shoulder, signaling her to relax and that what was past was past.

Gu Wei knew what An An was thinking. During the time just now, she naturally thought about many things in the past.

But in the end, things have changed and there is no going back.

Gu Wei held An An's hand on her shoulder, telling her not to worry.

There are some knots in her heart that she can only slowly untie by herself.

"Then I'll leave first."

An An said goodbye, and Gu Wei did not stop her. Instead, she waved her hand to signal her to leave. There was no need for formalities between the two. Gu Wei sat alone in the pavilion for a while. Finally, the housekeeper could not bear it anymore and called Aunt Ji to help Gu Wei into the house.

The housekeeper was quick-witted and called Ji Xuanming to briefly explain what happened in the afternoon.

He watched his wife go upstairs listlessly and in a bad mood.

"I understand. I will bring Mu Jin back for dinner tonight."

Although she had not formally met his parents, Ji Xuanming had taken her to have dinner with Gu Wei and Ji Hongsheng from time to time in recent months.

Gu Wei likes Mu Jin more and more. Her personality and temperament are very compatible with hers. She is also dignified, polite, and knows when to act. She can't wait for Ji Xuanming to find her.

Although Ji Hongsheng didn't say anything, the approval in his eyes could not be concealed.

Mu Jin was quite nervous at first, but now she has gradually gotten used to it after doing it many times.

Ji Xuanming called Mu Jin, but the girl didn't know what she was doing and didn't answer the call.

It was a long time before she called back.

"I was in a meeting just now. What happened?"

Mu Jin spoke softly on the other end, and her tone unconsciously became a little more coquettish.

Ji Xuanming had never imagined Mu Jin looking like this before.

"The housekeeper just called me and said Mom had a reception with some wealthy ladies this afternoon and is in a bad mood now. I wanted to take you back for dinner."

Mu Jin didn't say anything, but silently looked through the itinerary.

Her drama had just finished filming, and she really had nothing to do recently. If Ji Xuanming hadn't told her so earlier, she would have been about to contact Mo Bai to get her a manicure.

"Okay, I'll come find you later then~"

Mu Jin hung up the phone and went to the cloakroom to pick out her clothes for the evening.

In the first few times, Mu Jin dressed conservatively, and Gu Wei secretly reminded her not to learn from Ji Xuanming and always dress so seriously.

Later she followed her own temperament, but it was always appropriate.
