But Wang Shuyun might find it somewhat annoying.
The sisters had planned to go get some beauty treatments together. Although Gu Lingling was naturally beautiful and didn’t need it, she could still give it a try.
Trailing behind was Yang Yunhai, with his perpetual ice-cold expression. Something felt a bit off.
"Oh, Yunhai is here! Long time no see," one of the women said with a smile. "What? Are you here to pay for your mom and your wife?"
Ok, that comment really cured Wang Shuyun.
Having someone to follow behind, pay the bill, and carry things wasn’t too bad either.
So, the big guy, Yang Yunhai, grudgingly tagged along behind the three women.
Gu Lingling only then realized that one of the aunts named Wang Yuan worked in a government institution and was in charge of translation work.
If Gu Lingling were assigned after graduation, she might end up working under her.
Wang Shuyun was setting things up for her in advance, smoothing things over with the higher-ups, so she wouldn’t have to worry about being mistreated at her new workplace.
Fu Jing chuckled and said to Wang Yuan, "I guess his old mom is competing with him for his wife again."
Wang Yuan had just returned to the country recently to take up a new post, having worked in an embassy abroad before.
Hearing this, she couldn’t help but be curious. "Really? How come Shuyun often competes with Yunhai?"
Fu Jing just laughed.
"Where would I dare compete with him?" Wang Shuyun felt aggrieved, okay?
Every time she brought her daughter-in-law out, Yang Yunhai always accompanied them with a dark face as if someone owed him money. Was this son really her own?
Yang Yunhai blushed a little, scratched his nose, and looked outside. "I don’t have much going on."
Wang Yuan laughed, patting Wang Shuyun, "You."
However, she was quite pleased, as it had been three or four years since she last returned home. Wang Shuyun’s relationships with her son and husband seemed to have improved a lot.
"Ah, some people, huh? Don’t just focus on me," Wang Shuyun said with a smile when she saw someone walking in. "Look, someone else is coming to compete with us."
As she spoke, Tian Wenbai walked in with a smile. "What’s up? Did I come too early?"
Weren’t they supposed to be getting facials?
"No," Fu Jing replied with a suppressed smile.
"Lingling," Tian Wenbai said with an affectionate smile, "how have you been?"
"You’re back?" Gu Lingling greeted him.
But she still didn’t call him uncle.
Tian Wenbai felt helpless too, but he understood he hadn’t done well, so there was nothing he could do.
"Yes, I’m back. In a few days, your grandpa and the others will come back too," Tian Wenbai said.
The Tian Family finally decided to relocate their base back to the country.
Gu Lingling’s lips moved. She wanted to tell him about Grandma Tian, but after considering the setting, she thought better of it.
The three women booked a large private room for their facials, and Gu Lingling joined in for a mask. The salon owner couldn’t stop praising her, saying she was too beautiful and her skin was unbelievably good.
This made Gu Lingling quite embarrassed.
Tian Wenbai and Yang Yunhai sat there, drinking tea while waiting for them.
Tian Wenbai hoped Gu Lingling would help him in the company after graduation, but Gu Lingling refused.
After all the uproar before, even if the Tian Family was her grandma’s family, it had nothing to do with her. Joining the Tian Family’s Company wasn’t something she was interested in.
She preferred to do what she wanted to do.
Moreover, Peng Jiacheng was always eyeing them greedily, consistently making small moves over the past couple of years, along with that Peng Sasha, who was always looking for opportunities to make her presence known in their faces.
Although there had been no big moves, Gu Lingling felt sure they were brewing some big plot.
At least, with such a big piece of pie as the Tian Family, it was impossible for them to let it go.
