After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Although Shen Qingzhu took the necklace, Lin Fei wasn't too upset. Making her future mother-in-law happy was the most important thing.

Lin Fei decided to use Shen Qingzhu as a breakthrough point to overcome her.

After finishing lunch, Qiao Ran and Zhao Mengmeng packed their luggage together.

Qi Muci booked a flight to the film set for tomorrow morning.

While filming on set, comfort was the priority, so Qiao Ran chose some casual clothes.

There are also things like spare underwear.

While helping fold the clothes, Zhao Mengmeng said, "The Southern Film City we're going to this time has developed quite well in the past two years. It has shopping malls and supermarkets, so it's very convenient to buy things. Therefore, we don't need to bring too many things."

Qiao Ran agreed, "Okay, then I won't bring those menstrual care items, so they won't take up space."

Zhao Mengmeng: "No need to bring it, your assistant can buy it for you. By the way, Dingding originally wanted to find you an assistant, but then Fu Chao said he would take care of finding one for you. Did you find one?"

Qiao Ran: "We found her. She's a cousin from Fu Chao's hometown. She just graduated from university last year and wants to become a manager."

Zhao Mengmeng: "Then it's perfect that she can be your assistant, she can learn from her."

After Qiao Ran finished packing, Zhao Mengmeng got up to say goodbye. "Then I'll go back first. Go back and pack my things, go to bed early tonight, and we'll meet at the airport at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Do you want us to pick you up and take you to the airport?" Qiao Ran escorted Zhao Mengmeng to the courtyard.

Zhao Mengmeng waved her hand, "No need, the company will arrange a car to pick you up. You can go directly to the airport. It would be a detour to pick me up."

Qiao Ran: "Okay, see you at the airport then."

After seeing Zhao Mengmeng off, Qiao Ran went back to her bedroom to find Qi Muci, only to find that his luggage was already packed and he was about to close the suitcase.

Qiao Ran walked over and took a look. "It's packed up so quickly. I was just saying I'd come over and help."

Qi Muci zipped up the suitcase, picked it up and pushed it aside, then pulled Qiao Ran into his arms. "I don't have much stuff, so it's easy to pack. Do you have a lot of stuff? Is there anything you need? I'll have Fu Chao buy it for you."

Qiao Ran shook her head. "Mengmeng said there are shopping malls and supermarkets in the Southern Film City. We can buy whatever we need there."

Qi Muci: "That's right. The area has developed quite well in the last two years. Eighty percent of the period dramas in the country are filmed there."

Qiao Ran turned around and sat down on the sofa, looking somewhat worried.

"What's wrong?" Qi Muci sat down next to her and asked with concern.

Qiao Ran paused for a moment, then grasped Qi Muci's hand. "I haven't filmed for two years. I'm really afraid I'll mess things up."

Qi Muci: "Although you haven't filmed for two years, you've filmed for more than ten years before. You only need two or three days to get back into the swing of things and you'll be able to get back into the swing of things quickly. Besides, most of your scenes with me are with you."

Qiao Ran looked at Qi Muci and said, "I'm nervous because I'm filming with you. I'm not nervous when I'm filming with Mengmeng."

Qi Muci laughed, "I understand. You're not afraid of filming, you're afraid of acting opposite me, right?"

Qiao Ran: "You could say that. You're an international movie star, so if I make a mistake, don't be upset."

Qi Muci reached out and gently pinched Qiao Ran's nose. "You're overthinking it. Knowing you as I do, you're more than capable of handling me. There's nothing to worry about. Just play your usual game."

"Have you packed all your luggage? Let's go out for a bit."

Qiao Ran: "All done packing? Where to go?"

Qi Muci pulled her up from the sofa. "Grandma heard that we're leaving tomorrow and said she's going to prepare a farewell dinner for us. She invited us to her house for dinner tonight."

Qiao Ran: "Going to Grandma's house? Where is it?"

Qi Muci: "It's nearby, just a ten-minute drive away."

Qiao Ran: "Okay, I'll go change my clothes. You wait for me downstairs."

Qiao Ran was wearing a casual suit, which wasn't appropriate for meeting her elders, so she went to the dressing room and picked out a dusty pink dress.

She grabbed a pair of flat shoes and a white handbag and went downstairs to find Qi Muci.

Qi Muci drove Qiao Ran to the Shen family's house.

Ten minutes later, the car drove into the Shen family's courtyard, and someone immediately came over to open the car door for Qiao Ran.

Qi Muci walked around and led Qiao Ran into the house.

Qiao Ran was a little nervous. This was not only Qi Muci's maternal grandmother's house, but also Lin Mengchuan's maternal grandmother's house.

However, she never came here during her time at the Lin family's house.

Shen Qingzhu's relationship with her family was not very good, and Qiao Ran had never heard Shen Qingzhu mention going back to her family home.

The two entered the house, where Xiang Wanli greeted them with a woman.

Qi Muci and Qiao Ran both called out "Grandma" in unison. Xiang Wanli was very happy and pulled the woman next to her, saying, "Ranran, this is Muci's aunt, the wife of our third son, Zhiyuan."

Qiao Ran greeted politely, "Hello, Auntie."

Liang Huiyi smiled and scrutinized Qiao Ran for a moment, then said to her mother-in-law, "Ranran is just like Mom said, she's even prettier in person than on TV. Ranran, come visit often in the future, come sit in the living room."

Qi Muci and Qiao Ran followed them into the living room.

As the old lady walked, she said, "Mu Ci, your mother went to pick up your father. They will come together. I just called your brother, but he said he has a dinner party tonight and can't come."

Liang Huiyi lowered her voice and asked Qi Muci, "Is your older brother alright? I heard from your mother that he moved in with you? He said he's going to sell that apartment in the city, is that right?"

Qi Muci nodded slightly, "Yes, he doesn't want to live there anymore, so it's fine to sell it. He's staying with me temporarily now, and he's recovered in the last couple of days and is going back to work normally. There shouldn't be any major problems."

"That's good." Liang Huiyi was a warm-hearted person. "I was just talking to your grandma yesterday. How about I find someone to introduce a girl to your older brother? That way he can forget about that woman as soon as possible."

Qi Muci smiled and said, "This is indeed a good idea, but Auntie, don't worry. I believe my older brother will have good news soon."

Qi Muci was very confident that Zhao Mengmeng would win over his older brother.

Xiang Wanli was overjoyed. "Mu Ci, is what you said true? Your older brother has someone he's dating? Who is she? Don't go looking for that female PhD again, she's too cunning."

Qi Muci: "She's not a female PhD, I can't tell you right now, but that girl is a good girl."

Xiang Wanli: "That's good. Please keep an eye on your older brother. He's too soft-hearted, which has its pros and cons. I'm afraid he might run into a heartless woman like Xu Weiyan."

Qi Muci: "Yes, Grandma, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on my older brother."

Xiang Wanli invited Qiao Ran to sit down, while Liang Huiyi went to the kitchen to prepare tea and snacks with the maid. They chatted over tea.

Shen Qinglan and her husband Qi Helian came together, bringing a large box of crabs.

Liang Huiyi quickly carried the crabs to the kitchen to process them.

Before dinner, the Shen father and son also returned.

Qiao Ran had met Shen Zhiyuan once at her wedding banquet two years ago, and only remembered that he looked somewhat like Shen Qingzhu.

Shen Zhiyuan took the initiative to shake her hand, "Ranran, I am Mu Ci's uncle."

Qiao Ran nodded and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Uncle."

Liang Huiyi came over from the kitchen and teased, "Now that you've called him uncle, you should give him a red envelope."

Shen Zhiyuan only remembered after his wife reminded him, and quickly took out the large red envelope of cash he had prepared and handed it to Qiao Ran: "We were supposed to go to the last dinner party, but I happened to be away on a business trip."

Qiao Ran accepted the red envelope and said, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."
