Li Dan smiled at her daughter and said, “My dear daughter, don’t worry. Let’s go to the main house to check out where this wild girl came from. I guess she must have taken advantage of our absence and forced herself on us. I don’t know how she has won the favor of your uncle and aunt. I don’t think the people in the main house have spread the news. It must be those people with ulterior motives!”

“Don’t be afraid, those were all defeated by you. They’re no match for you. In terms of appearance, talent, and ability, which girl from the Gu family can be better than you now? Listen to Mom, we can’t mess up now!”

Li Dan tugged at Gu Cheng, who quickly said, “Yes, yes, yes. Your mother is right. I’ll ask your Grandma to go over and check it out.”

Gu Zhen thought for a moment and immediately said, “There’s no need for Grandma to go. She won’t understand! Mom, didn’t you buy gifts for Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt in the main house? We’ll send it over now!”

Li Dan hesitated for a moment. She had put a lot of thought into those gifts. She had wanted to give them out when everyone was present, so that she could crush them. If she gave them now, she might not get the desired effect. No one would know.

But on second thought, at such a critical time, if they did not be more proactive, someone else might get there first!

“Alright,” she said, gritting herteeth. “Go back to your room and change your clothes. Pack up. We’re going to the main house!”

Gu Zhen was finally satisfied and revealed an arrogant expression.

…

Zhizhi stood in front of the mirror, turning left and right in a circle. She shook her head left and right, making the people around her laugh.

“Zhizhi, do you think it looks good?” Han Li reached out and stroked his daughter’s hair.

“Yes, it’s nice.” Zhizhi looked at herself in the mirror.

In the mirror, Zhizhi’s hair had been cut short. It was shoulder-length, and her bangs were neat. It made her look quiet, gentle, and very pretty. The pink dress she was wearing hung down quietly when she stood still. There was nothing special about it, but when she made a big move, such as turning around quickly, the skirt would float up and form a Morning Glory. It was very beautiful.

Zhizhi could not help but turn around a few times.

Han Li squatted down and stroked his daughter’s hair. “Our Zhizhi is really pretty.”

“Mommy is pretty too.” Zhizhi tilted her head.

She turned around and looked at the crowd. “Aunty is pretty too. Aunty is pretty too. Aunty is pretty too. We all look pretty.”

The crowd laughed.

“This girl’s mouth is so sweet. She’s also a master with compliments, giving them out fairly!” Tang Xing laughed.

“Go! Let’s go see Grandpa and Grandma!” Gu Hao stepped forward and held his little niece’s hand.

“Mom must be waiting for you. I’ll go with you,” Han Li said with a smile.

Everyone knew that Han Li could not leave Zhizhi for even a moment.

“You guys go ahead,” said Lin Wan with a smile. “Tang Xing and I will go and see the plan for the banquet.”

Han Li smiled. “Okay, thank you. I’ll only take care of my daughter from now on. I won’t care about anything else.”

“Sure, no problem!” Lin Wan smiled. “Who asked you to be my Sister-in-law?! In the future, you only need to accompany Zhizhi and we’ll do everything else for you!”

Han Li did not hesitate. She had always had an open personality and did not beat around the bush. Her parents had said more than once when they were alive that she was lucky to have married into the Gu family. Otherwise, she would have suffered a lot of losses from house fights!

Women who married into the Gu family were all blessed!

Zhizhi bounced around all the way, looking down at her skirt from time to time. She was in an extremely good mood as she watched the hem of her skirt bloom with her movements.

“Mom, I like this dress.” Zhizhi could not help but say to Han Li, who was holding her hand.

Han Li smiled and said, “Then I’ll buy you two more in other colors. How about a white one? What about the blue one?”

Zhizhi regretted what she had just said. In the past two days, whenever she was slightly interested in something, her mother would immediately buy it.

Gu Hao laughed. “Zhizhi, all these years, your mother has been regretting that she couldn’t buy you anything you like. No matter what she buys, you should accept it. That way, she’ll be happy. If you don’t like it later, you can give it to me secretly. After all, everything your mother buys is good stuff!”
