That evening, Lin Jinyu and Su Maiqi rode together in Gu Tingyu's car back to the Cloud Villa.

She also has her own private courtyard in the clouds.

First, he had Gu Tingyu drive the car to his villa, saying he had a gift for his daughter-in-law.

The villa where Lin Jinyu lives was Gu Tianze's marital home before his death.

Unlike Gu Tingyu's house, which has a modern style, this house has an antique charm.

The deep red and dark green tones exude a sense of tranquility and the subtle fragrance of time.

Yes, it's very similar to Lin Jinyu's temperament.

Subtle, yet steady. Always calm and serene.

But you know it's not that there's no wind or waves, but rather that she seems to be able to weather all the storms and still stand firmly, so she's fearless and forever remains as serene as a chrysanthemum.

Su Maiqi quite liked this mother-in-law. Judging from the situation tonight, the mother-in-law was completely unaware of her son's plans and her own existence.

However, she remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic or ignorance in the face of Shen Wanjun's provocation.

After Gu Tingyu came to her rescue, she showed great affection and care for her daughter-in-law throughout the banquet.

Seeing what food Su Maiqi had picked up, I would consciously turn it around for her and say, "Qiqi, if you like this, eat more."

“Our Gu family’s chef has been with Grandpa for many years, and his dishes are all amazing. This is his specialty, you should try it.”

Su Maiqi was amazed by how adept the daughters-in-law of the large family were at reading people and understanding social dynamics; even without prior notice, they still managed to coordinate perfectly with their son.

Unexpectedly, on the way back to Yunshang, when it was just Gu Tingyu and the other two, Lin's mother always acted like a mother-in-law who really liked her daughter-in-law.

He chatted casually with her, asked about Maggie's mother's condition, and urged his son to find the best doctor to treat his mother-in-law.

She even said she was going to visit Maggie's mother in the hospital.

Gu Tingyu focused on driving, while Su Maiqi, unsure of the situation between the mother and son, simply responded obediently.

While she was lost in thought, Lin's mother came out from the inner room, carrying an exquisite jewelry box. It was antique and decorated with beautiful patterns, making it look exceptionally precious.

Upon opening the box, nestled within soft red silk, lay a jade bracelet. Its color was a warm, lustrous emerald green, a remarkably pure color, devoid of any impurities.

Under the light, the bracelet emitted a faint luster, a luster that was both warm and cool, like the moonlight tonight.

Lin's mother took Su Maiqi's wrist, put the bracelet on her wrist, and said gently, "Qiqi, this bracelet was given to me by my grandmother when I married Tingyu's father; now that you and Tingyu are married, I'm giving it to you."

Su Maiqi subconsciously looked at Gu Tingyu. Their marriage was fake, so accepting the bracelet seemed inappropriate.

Gu Tingyu said calmly, "You can keep it since it's from Mom."

The moment the bracelet touches your hand, it feels cool, but it quickly warms to the temperature of your skin, smooth and delicate, as if the jade could blend seamlessly with your skin, making you feel comfortable and at ease.

Su Maiqi thought to herself: Maybe Gu Tingyu doesn't want his mother to know about this either, so I'll just keep it for now and return it later.

Gu Tingyu looked at the bracelet his mother wore on Su Maiqi's slender wrist, and a sudden thought flashed through his mind: that moment of stunned silence that morning seemed to be missing something.

It turns out that this bracelet was the only thing missing. It perfectly matches Su Maqi's temperament and this outfit; it's a match made in heaven.

As Gu Tingyu was leaving, he went to get the car. Lin's mother stood in the yard with Maggie and suddenly said, "Mggie, no matter what happens in the future, you will always be the daughter-in-law I've chosen. I believe you and Tingyu can have a good life together."

Su Maiqi's heart skipped a beat, and she was a little confused, wondering how much her mother knew about the truth of their marriage.

Gu Tingyu had already driven over. Maggie finally nodded to her mother, smiled obediently, waved goodbye, and got into the car.

As the car drove away, Lin's mother sighed softly.

She knew, of course, that her son's marriage was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and she didn't blame her son for not telling her the truth beforehand.

Over the years, she and her son have developed a basic understanding and trust. She also believes that her son can handle things well.

Ultimately, putting everything else aside, and returning to her simple role as a mother, she genuinely hopes that her son can meet a soulmate.

Is there anything more precious than being happy in a relationship?

She liked this girl; she had an inexplicable strength about her that made her feel at ease and believed that Gu Tingyu would be happy with her.

Just as Su Maiqi returned to her courtyard, changed her clothes, and finished washing up, her phone rang.

Lin Manlin said anxiously on the phone, "Mai Mai, come to the hospital quickly, Auntie is being resuscitated."

Lin Manlin is Su Maiqi's best friend and the only one who calls her "Mai Mai".

Without asking any more questions, Su Maiqi quickly put on her clothes, rushed out, and told the driver to take her to the hospital.

After getting into the car and thinking for a moment, she sent Gu Tingyu a message: "My mother is seriously ill, I'm going to the hospital."

I was extremely anxious the whole way, and finally arrived at the door of the emergency room. I saw Lin Manlin and her sister Su Mairou sitting together, waiting outside.

My sister's eyes were swollen like peaches, and she hesitated to speak when she saw Maggie coming over.

"Wasn't Mom feeling much better lately? How come she's suddenly gotten so sick again..."

Su Mairou's tears welled up again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to Mom."

Su Mairou was supposed to be at the hospital with her mother today, but Lin Manlin suddenly showed up, which made Su's mother very happy.

This girl was inseparable from Maggie from elementary school to high school; they were best friends. She had a cheerful and lively personality and often came to our house to play. Su's mother also liked her very much.

But ever since Manlin returned to Beijing to attend university and later went back to work in the family business, she has rarely been seen.

They said they came back specifically to congratulate Maggie on her wedding. Knowing that Maggie was attending her husband's family dinner tonight, they didn't tell her, but came to see Su's mother first, and will give Maggie a surprise tomorrow.

In fact, Lin Manlin was the only one who knew the truth about this marriage. She was worried about Maggie, so she rushed to Yuncheng to check on her.

If Su's mother needs money for medical treatment, I can help her now.

Why gamble with your own happiness?

Others may not know how complicated life is in wealthy families, but I am terrified of it.

Is this money so easy to earn? Why get involved in this mess? But that foolish woman only told me after they got their marriage certificate.

She even thought that if all else failed, she would have to beg her father to help Su Maiqi get out of this mess.

Unexpectedly, after chatting for only a short while at the hospital, Su Mairou went to the restroom. Su's mother took out her phone to show Manlin a picture of her granddaughter, and suddenly her expression changed, and she froze.

When Lin Manlin looked at her phone, she saw an intimate photo of Mai Rou's husband and a woman. The two were lying in bed, the man shirtless and the woman wearing a tank top, her face radiant with pleasure.

The man's hand was even touching the woman's chest. Although the man's face could not be seen, those hands were clearly Li Deshun's. His right hand had been burned when he was a child, and there was a noticeable scar.

This is a mistress's attempt to take over; I wonder if Sister Mai Rou knows about this.

Manlin was trying to figure out what to do when, a second later, Su's mother clutched her chest and had difficulty breathing. She quickly pressed the call button to summon a doctor...
