That evening, as night fell, the city lights shone brightly.

Gu Xiyan, dressed in an exquisite suit and shiny leather shoes, walked into a bar with an air of elegance.

The man in the black suit resembled a cheetah roaming the urban jungle—understated yet mysterious.

He exudes a unique charm that is impossible to ignore; every movement he makes is elegant yet powerful, drawing the attention of many.

Gu Xiyan's sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, quickly scanned the crowd. His gaze was calm and focused, as if he were searching for some target.

Finally, he walked to a table in the corner of the bar, where his friend Liu Ziwen was sitting, the table covered with empty bottles.

Seeing Liu Ziwen's completely drunk state, Gu Xiyan frowned and sat down beside him, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Liu Ziwen, what's wrong with you this time? Did you break up with your boyfriend again?"

His friend is otherwise a good person, but his love life is a mess.

Although he takes every relationship seriously, he changes girlfriends faster than a rocket. Don't get me wrong, these breakups were initiated by the women, not by Liu Ziwen.

Whenever he experiences heartbreak, Liu Ziwen would go to a bar to drown his sorrows in alcohol, drinking himself into oblivion. The next day, he would wake up completely back to normal, as if nothing had happened, and soon he would have a new girlfriend.

So, if it weren't for a breakup, he wouldn't have inexplicably gone to a bar to drown his sorrows.

Liu Ziwen looked up at Gu Xiyan and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, you even dress like this for a bar, you really are a workaholic, I admire you."

Gu Xiyan's face darkened. "You called me to the bar yourself, saying you wouldn't leave if I didn't come. I just got off work, and I've already done more than enough by coming to keep you company."

Gu Xiyan loosened his grip, took off his suit jacket, and casually tossed it onto the chair.

His eyes held a hint of weariness, but a carefree smile played on his lips. He then gently loosened his tie with his right hand and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt with his left, revealing his fair and muscular chest.

Finally, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his well-defined forearms, instantly transforming himself from an elite individual into a charming playboy.

He walked to the table, picked up the whiskey, poured himself half a glass, and then swirled it in one hand. The golden liquid spun in the glass, releasing a faint aroma.

He took a small sip of the wine, savoring the stimulation and warmth it brought, then squinted his eyes slightly, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

"Tell me, which girl is it this time? Is it Sisi or Lily?" His voice was deep and magnetic, making one's heart flutter.

Liu Ziwen shook his head. "It wasn't them."

"And who is that? You have a new girlfriend again?"

Liu Ziwen suddenly burst into tears and leaned towards Gu Xiyan's shoulder, but Gu Xiyan pushed him away in disgust.

"When are you going to get rid of this habit of hugging people and crying?"

Liu Ziwen sobbed, "What's wrong with letting your brother lean on you for a bit? My dream goddess is gone." Mentioning the goddess made Liu Ziwen's heart ache even more; he didn't even know her name.

Gu Xiyan was increasingly confused. What was this "dream goddess" nonsense? Liu Ziwen then recounted what had happened that afternoon.

Gu Xiyan was utterly speechless, his tongue pressed against his cheek, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"You fell in love with her just by looking at her profile? You consider her your dream goddess? Your love is too cheap."

Liu Ziwen snatched the wine glass from Gu Xiyan's hand and downed it in one gulp. He said with a slight lisp, "What do you know? You're a virgin who's never been in love. Do you even know what love tastes like?"

Gu Xiyan gritted his teeth as he looked at Liu Ziwen. It seemed that Liu Ziwen was really drunk, daring to talk to him like that. Gu Xiyan picked up Liu Ziwen's phone, which was lying on the table, and skillfully opened his contacts, sending a mass text message to all of Liu Ziwen's ex-girlfriends.

He then patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, take care. Hope to see you alive tomorrow." After saying that, he downed the rest of his drink in one gulp, grabbed his coat, draped it over his right hand, and turned to leave.

Liu Ziwen stared blankly at Gu Xiyan's retreating figure, then called out in a panic, "Xiyan, where are you going? Are you leaving me behind?"

"Xiyan! Don't leave me alone, come back soon~ I can't bear this alone~ Come back soon~ Life is wonderful because of you~"

Gu Xiyan quickened her pace, completely ignoring Liu Ziwen's howls and screams.

As Liu Ziwen's singing became increasingly outrageous, Gu Xiyan's forehead veins bulged. Along the way, many people covered their mouths and sneered at them. Gu Xiyan gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Ziwen, if I agree to drink with you again next time, I'll be a pig."

The next day, the weather was sunny.

Shen Chumo packed up, picked up the gift box, and walked out the door. Driver Xiao Wu sat in the car, dumbfounded, watching the graceful young woman walk towards him.

It turns out they were telling the truth; they weren't lying to him. There really are people this good-looking in the world.

Shen Chumo got into the car, straightened her skirt, and said in a light and melodious voice, "Chunxi Road, Building 32, thank you for your help."

Driver Xiao Wu snapped out of his daze, blushing slightly, and said, "No trouble at all."

Xiao Wu let out a sigh of relief, secretly regretting that he had been so engrossed in watching his mistress. This was a dereliction of duty on his part. Fortunately, Miss Chu Mo was gentle and didn't hold it against him. He had to work hard for Miss Chu Mo.

After a smooth journey, Shen Chumo arrived at her destination in front of a villa. The villa's courtyard was beautifully maintained, with a lush garden, clearly showing the care and attention put into its upkeep.

Shen Chumo knocked on the door, and soon an elderly couple opened it, welcoming her in with tears in their eyes.

These are Shen Chumo's maternal grandparents, and also a regret of the original owner. Due to the expansion of the Shen family's overseas business, the original owner's parents had to live in F country for a long time.

The company is very busy, and they are constantly flying around, so they rarely have time to return to China. As a result, Shen Chumo's maternal grandparents can only see their biological daughter and granddaughter once every few years.

After returning to China, the original owner fell in love with Gu Beicheng at first sight. She was always around Gu Beicheng and only visited her grandparents a few times in the years since she returned to China.

Even so, the two elderly people still thought of the original owner and would occasionally send her homemade meals and gifts.

After she committed suicide, the news reached her maternal grandparents, who were devastated to lose their child. They suffered heart attacks, but thankfully received timely medical attention and were saved.

In the end, the original owner's parents returned to China to be with them after the Shen family went bankrupt. However, the two elderly people still missed the original owner for the rest of their lives.

This is a side quest that requires you to visit the elderly person regularly. It's optional; generally, world quests are divided into main quests and side quests. Main quests are mandatory and give more points.

Side quests generally don't award many points, and there's no mandatory requirement for them.

After reading the plot, Shen Chumo still accepted the mission. After all, it was a mission that the two elderly people had waited for for more than ten years. Such kinship was much stronger than any heart-wrenching love and should not be ignored.

Shen Chumo spent the whole day at her maternal grandparents' house. The two elderly people never stopped smiling and kept pulling Shen Chumo to show her photos of her mother and her when she was a child. Shen Chumo also enjoyed this rare peaceful time.

In her own world, Shen Chumo's parents died early, and she was raised by her grandmother. Therefore, she couldn't refuse the old lady's love.
