Qu Qingdai, Su Jingmo, and Qu Qingzhu finally walked out of the airport corridor, dragging their suitcases. From a distance, they saw Qin Yunie, Du Zhong, and Gu Senyu standing at the airport entrance, their faces filled with joy and looking around.

Qu Qingdai spotted Qin Yunie immediately, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she quickened her pace towards them. "Yunie, why are you here so early? Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Qin Yunie walked forward, hugged Qu Qingdai, and said, "I just arrived not long ago, and I just wanted to see you earlier. Did you have a smooth journey?"

"Yeah, it went very smoothly! I haven't seen you for a long time, Yunie, I miss you!" Qu Qingdai hugged Qin Yunie back and said.

"Hey, Sister Qu, did you miss me?" Du Zhong said with a grin, a playful look on his face.

"Not at all." Qu Qingdai let go of Qin Yunie without hesitation and said coldly, but her eyes were full of smiles.

"That makes my brother very sad." Du Zhong said with a wronged look, and deliberately squeezed out a few tears, looking very funny.

"Hello, seeing is believing. I am Gu Senyu." At this time, Gu Senyu walked up, pushed away the "drama queen" Du Zhong, and said politely with a smile on his face.

"Hello, I heard about you from my brother a long time ago. Nice to meet you." Qu Qingdai also responded politely with a friendly smile on her face.

"Hello, Qingdai." Then Gu Senyu looked at Su Jingmo beside him and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Second Young Master Su."

Su Jingmo nodded slightly and replied calmly: "Well, it's been a long time since we last met."

"By the way, I'm a little curious, how come you are together? Do you know each other? I clearly only told Yunie the flight information." Qu Qingdai asked with a puzzled look and a frown.

"Hahaha, you don't know this, Yunie and we have known each other for a long time, but we didn't contact each other much before. It's not because of you and Qingzhu that we have a better relationship now. As for the flight information, it was Qingzhu who told us. I didn't expect Yunie to be waiting for you here." Du Zhong explained with a big laugh, raising his eyebrows proudly as he spoke.

"So that's how it is. So, brother, you also know Yunie? Do you have a good relationship?" Qu Qingdai turned to look at Qu Qingzhu, who had been silent, and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Ah? Yes, we met by chance after coming to Beijing." Qu Qingzhu nodded slightly and said a little embarrassedly.

"That makes sense. This is the reason why Yunie was so close to me in the variety show. It turns out it was because of my brother!" Qu Qingdai said with sudden enlightenment, a playful look on her face.

"Hahahahaha, Sister Qu is right!" Du Zhong looked at Qu Qingzhu and Qin Yunie and couldn't help laughing. He patted Qu Qingzhu's shoulder while laughing.

"Okay, let's stop chatting here and go back first. We can't keep reminiscing at the airport." Qu Qingzhu interrupted their conversation, picked up his suitcase, and took the lead to walk forward.

"Hey...Brother, wait for brother! A-Mo, let's catch up!" Qu Qingdai hurriedly pulled Su Jingmo's hand and followed closely behind Qu Qingzhu.

"Hahahaha, Senyu, do you think Qingzhu is avoiding the topic?" Du Zhong asked with a sly smile, then looked at Qin Yunie beside him and joked, "Yunie, come on, it's only a matter of time before you can defeat Qingzhu!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's go." Gu Senyu urged.

"Let's go!" Qin Yunie responded and followed Gu Senyu's footsteps.

"Oh! Wait for me!"

The group arrived at the reserved restaurant and everyone found a seat to sit together. The atmosphere was very harmonious and everyone chatted about the interesting things they had experienced in the past few days.

"By the way, Daidai, where are you planning to stay today? Are you going to stay at my place?" Qu Qingzhu asked with concern.

"I... I'll see what Ah Mo says." Qu Qingdai looked at Su Jingmo, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Live in one of my houses. The layout there is very similar to the one in Hai City, and Dai Dai will find it easier to live there." Su Jingmo said gently.

"Hahaha, Qingzhu, don't worry about their residence. Everyone in Beijing knows the young masters and young ladies of the Su family. They have countless properties. You don't need to worry about it at all." Du Zhong said with a big laugh, a teasing smile on his face.

"Yeah, I was overthinking it." Qu Qingzhu scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he looked at Su Jingmo and asked, "So when are you going to meet your parents? I remember when we were in Hai City, you said that you would meet your parents when you arrived in Jing City..."

"I... I don't know, it shouldn't be too fast..." Qu Qingdai hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, with a hint of worry on her face.

"Hahaha, Daidai, are you scared?" Qin Yunie saw Qu Qingdai like this for the first time and couldn't help laughing, his eyes full of teasing.

"No, no!" Qu Qingdai said stubbornly with a red face.

"Hahahaha, don't worry, I'm here!" Su Jingmo smiled and held Qu Qingdai's hand, saying gently, then turned to look at Qu Qingzhu and said firmly, "I'll go tomorrow afternoon."

"What? So soon?! Things for the meeting haven't been prepared yet." Qu Qingzhu said with a look of surprise and a frown.

"I'm ready, don't worry. Even if I haven't prepared anything, as long as Daidai is willing to go, nothing else matters." Su Jingmo's eyes were full of pampering, and he looked at Qu Qingdai affectionately and said.

"Huh...it's really unbearable to see you show off your affection. I'd better just focus on eating!" Du Zhong said with pretended disgust.

"Don't worry, Qingdai. Uncle Su and his family are all fine. I've met them." Gu Senyu also spoke to comfort her.

"Yeah, it's okay as long as A-Mo is with me!" Qu Qingdai said with a smile, her face filled with happiness.

"Okay, then I'll leave my sister to you. It's not convenient for me to go for the first meeting, so let's visit again when we have the chance in the future!" Qu Qingzhu said. Although there was some reluctance on his face, he still handed his sister to Su Jingmo with confidence.

"Don't worry." Su Jingmo nodded and said.

"Okay, okay, let's eat, and then go to bed early. You must be tired from the plane. We'll have plenty of time to talk later." Qin Yunie said.

"Yes, yes, yes, eat quickly, I'm starving!" Du Zhong said impatiently.

"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison, and then began to enjoy the food happily.

The next afternoon, a cool Pagani sped out of Su Jingmo's residence without stopping and headed straight towards Tiancheng District of Beijing.

After a day's rest, Qu Qingdai's spirits had fully recovered. She had been calmly gazing out the car window at the unfamiliar street scene, but for some reason, she suddenly became nervous again. Her fingers began to move in circles unconsciously, and she seemed a little uneasy.

"What's wrong? Are you nervous?" Su Jingmo, who was in the driver's seat, noticed Qu Qingdai's movements out of the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly as he chuckled softly.

"A little bit!" Qu Qingdai replied in a low voice, with a hint of timidity in her voice.

"Don't be afraid, my family members are easy to get along with. Today, only grandma, parents are here. My eldest brother is on a business trip and hasn't come back yet, and my youngest sister is still studying. There are only three of us in total. Don't be afraid!" Su Jingmo patiently comforted her.

"The three most important elders..." Qu Qingdai muttered to herself, the tension in her heart growing stronger.

"Don't worry, they really like you." Su Jingmo once again gave Qu Qingdai a reassurance.

Qu Qingdai mentally prepared herself, then looked sideways again. At this moment, the Pagani happened to stop in front of the gate of the private villa area.

The pure black wrought iron gate was tightly closed, completely blocking out the view inside and making it impossible to peek in. Qu Qingdai looked slightly into the distance and could only vaguely see some European-style buildings, more than one, scattered around in an orderly manner.

At this moment, Qu Qingdai was extremely nervous. She pursed her lips and kept thinking about how she should behave after meeting her grandmother and her parents-in-law. After all, she was completely blank in this area and had no experience to draw on.

The wrought-iron gate slowly opened, and the car drove onto a clean, winding asphalt road. On either side of the road were meticulously landscaped gardens, complementing the pond and small bridge, creating a strikingly harmonious and beautiful scene. The banks were also lined with precious golden weeping willows, gently swaying in the breeze, creating a tranquil atmosphere reminiscent of a paradise.

In front of the central villa, several servants in gray uniforms stood. Qu Qingdai followed Su Jingmo out of the car, her eyes wandering around the magnificent villa, her heartbeat becoming slightly irregular.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Master's Wife, Old Madam, Sir and Madam are waiting for you in the living room." A servant said respectfully.

After hearing what the servant said, Su Jingmo responded softly, then turned his head to look at Qu Qingdai tenderly, his voice as gentle as usual: "Don't worry!"

"No!" Although Qu Qingdai said this, she was still a little nervous in her heart.

Su Jingmo raised an unfathomable smile on his lips, then held Qu Qingdai's hand tightly and walked into the villa hall together.

After entering the spacious and bright living room, I saw the Su family's lady sitting in the first seat, and Su Jingmo's parents sitting beside her.

Mrs. Su, who was over eighty years old, had gray hair, but she had a smile on her face and looked at them kindly.

The woman beside him, now over fifty, though no longer young, still retained her charm and dignity. Her naturally smiling lips added a touch of friendliness to her. She was Su Jingmo's mother, Yu Wantong. The stern man beside her was Su Jingmo's father, Su Liuxing. He was dressed in a suit and tie, his reserve exuding authority, his eyes shrouded in deep dignity and sharpness.

Qu Qingdai originally wanted to wait for Su Jingmo to introduce them first, and then she would address the elders one by one. However, what she didn't expect was that before Su Jingmo could speak, her grandmother who was sitting at the top of the living room spoke first.

Grandma Su completely ignored Su Jingmo and focused her attention on Qu Qingdai. Her eyes were filled with kindness and expectation as she scrutinized her, as if trying to memorize every detail of her. Then, she raised the corners of her lips, a gentle smile as warm as a spring breeze, and said, "You must be Daidai, right? Come, come and sit down."

Qu Qingdai raised her head and looked at Su Jingmo, with a hint of dependence and nervousness in her eyes. The man noticed her gaze and smiled at her. He held her hand and squeezed it a little harder. Then, he gently released her hand, raised his chin, and beckoned her over with his eyes, which were full of trust and doting.

Seeing this, Qu Qingdai took slow, somewhat reserved steps and walked in front of Grandma Su. She said softly, "Hello, Grandma!"

"Okay, okay, dear child, are you tired of riding all the way here?" Grandma Su moved to the side naturally with a kind smile on her face.

Qu Qingdai sat down next to Grandma Su, smiled and shook her head. That smile was sweet and natural, and said, "I'm fine. I'm not tired."

"So good!" Grandma Su smiled and reached out to gently touch Qu Qingdai's head.

Su's mother, Yu Wantong, held Qu Qingdai's hand and said softly, "Daidai, do you like desserts? Auntie just asked the kitchen to make some. They're not very sweet. How about trying one?"

"I like it, thank you, Mom..." Qu Qingdai said softly.

"Oh, my dear daughter-in-law!" Yu Wantong smiled with satisfaction, then patted the back of Qu Qingdai's hand. She then picked up the whole plate of white jade cakes and handed it directly to her, saying, "Come, have a try."

This amiable gesture of goodwill gradually relaxed Qu Qingdai's tense mood. She couldn't help but think of what Su Jingmo had once said to her: his family was easy to get along with. Now it seemed that it was indeed true.

At this moment, Yu Wantong saw Su Jingmo, who had been left there for a long time. A strange look appeared on her face. She glanced at him angrily and said, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Go find a place to sit down."

Su Jingmo lazily unbuttoned his coat and sat down slowly. He looked as if it had nothing to do with him, as if he was just an outsider.

Yu Wantong didn't seem to care about his attitude. After looking away, she smiled at Qu Qingdai again. However, before she could say anything, Su Liuxing, who was standing beside her with a serious face, suddenly spoke up. He said, "Pour the child a cup of tea. Don't let her just eat dessert. It's too greasy."

Qu Qingdai stared blankly at the uneaten white jade cake on the tray, a look of bewilderment and flattery on her face. It felt strangely awkward that Mr. Su, the usually stern and solemn father, had immediately asked Mrs. Su to pour her tea. It was like he was putting on the coldest face yet saying the warmest words.

Yu Wantong glared at Su Liuxing secretly, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment. Then, she gently grabbed Qu Qingdai's wrist and said softly, "Daidai, ignore him. There's still bird's nest stewing in the pot. Come on, come with me and have some."

"Yes, the child looks so thin. Jing Mo must not have taken good care of her. Take her to eat something to replenish her energy." Grandma Su also said, her face full of kindness.

"Thank you, Mom, Grandma, and... Dad. A-Mo is very good to me." Qu Qingdai said softly, her eyes full of sincerity.

"How could I not understand this kid? He was unwilling to go to the company to help his brother and went abroad without saying a word. If you hadn't found me a good daughter-in-law, I would have taught him a lesson!" Yu Wantong said with a hint of anger.

"Mom! It's my fault. I will definitely apologize to my brother later!" Su Jingmo said hurriedly.

"Hmph, that's enough for you to know. Come on, Daidai, let's take grandma to eat bird's nest together." Yu Wantong said, and then he took Qu Qingdai's hand. The two of them each supported one side of Old Madam Su and slowly walked towards the restaurant.
