Lin Wenfeng arrived at the Su residence first.

It was Su Nianen’s mother who opened the door. While her mother had never liked Lin Wenfeng, her daughter did. She could only try her best to accept this son-in-law.

“You’ve come.”

Mother Su said lightly and took the gift that Lin Wenfeng handed her.

Lin Wenfeng couldn’t tell from Mother Su’s attitude whether or not the Su family knew about what had happened recently. After all, Mother Su hadn’t given him a good attitude in the past few years.

“Is Wen Feng here?”

Professor Su’s voice came from the living room.

Lin Wenfeng heard the joy in his father-in-law’s words and heaved a sigh of relief.

Judging from his tone, the Su family probably didn’t know yet.

That only meant one thing.

This meant that Su Nianen couldn’t bear to part with him. The crazier her actions, the greater her love for him. She was just putting on an act when she said she wanted a divorce.

If she really was planning to get a divorce, why would she hide it from her family?

Lin Wenfeng walked into the living room. There were guests!

Professor Su kindly arranged for Lin Wenfeng to sit beside him. Then, he politely introduced him to the people on the other side.

“Xichuan, this is my son-in-law, Lin Wenfeng. He runs his own company and does home design and renovation.”

Lin Wenfeng looked up with excitement.

He had thought that the person on his father-in-law’s left looked familiar. It was Gu Xichuan!

The eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Xichuan!

Lin Wenfeng was a little excited. He quickly stood up and extended his hand for a handshake.

“Hello, Mr. Gu. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Gu Xichuan nodded slightly and pretended to reach out. However, he quickly turned to Professor Su.

“Will Teacher Su be back?”

Professor Su’s gaze was blocked by Lin Wenfeng’s body, and he didn’t see Gu Xichuan’s inconspicuous actions.

“Nianen hasn’t called in a while, but it’s good that she’s busy with work.”

Gu Xichuan continued, “Teacher Su is good at teaching and has patience. She’s a role model for young people.”

Gu Xichuan chatted with Professor Su the entire time. Lin Wenfeng was ignored because Gu Xichuan was simply too dazzling. Everyone’s attention was on him.

Although, Lin Wenfeng didn’t feel awkward despite that. He kept looking at Gu Xichuan and tried speaking to him.

Lin Wenfeng kept trying to make conversation, but was consistently ignored.

Professor Su couldn’t bear to see his son-in-law embarrassed, so he introduced him to Gu Xichuan again.

“My daughter was busy with work and didn’t come back, but my son-in-law is considerate. He comes over to have a drink with me every New Year or festival. Xichuan, it’s not easy for young people to start a business. If you need Wenfeng for anything at all, just tell me. Although his company isn’t big, he has a good character and is meticulous. He will definitely satisfy you.”

Gu Xichuan glanced at Lin Wenfeng sharply.

“Mr. Lin, how do you understand the words ‘good character’?”

Lin Wenfeng immediately stood up and prepared to introduce himself to Gu Xichuan.

However, at this moment, Su Nianen returned.

“Lin Wenfeng!”

Su Nianen rushed into the house. Her voice reached them before she even arrived.

The people in the living room looked at this person who had rushed in. Gu Xichuan’s eyes quickly turned warm.

After a short silence, Mother Su said, “Nianen, you’re back.”

Professor Su was a little dissatisfied with his impudent daughter, but with a guest around, it was not appropriate to reprimand her in front of outsiders.

“Go help in the kitchen. Your mother has her hands full.” Professor Su gestured.

Su Nianen stood in front of everyone, unable to hide the anger in her eyes. She looked at the fawning Lin Wenfeng and questioned him.

“What are you doing here?”

Lin Wenfeng was absolutely infuriated by Su Nianen’s interruption!

However, he still had to answer with a smile, “Today is Dad’s birthday. Every year, we come…”

“Lin Wenfeng, can you be more honest as a person?”

Lin Wenfeng was humiliated by Su Nianen’s words.

“Nianen, Dad is watching. If there’s anything you’re unhappy about, let’s go home and talk…”

Su Nianen warned in a low voice, “Lin Wenfeng, I ask you not to disturb my family. This is my bottom line!”

Lin Wenfeng asked innocently, “En, what did I do to you? Don’t lose your temper. Let’s talk things out.”

“???”

Su Nianen took a deep breath and laughed in anger.

If it weren’t for the fact that there were guests at home, she would definitely beat his head up again!

Professor Su’s face darkened. “Nianen, go help your mother. Don’t mess around.”

What a shameful display.

Mother Su had already come over to pull Su Nianen away. She said in a low voice, “There are guests at home. Know your limits.”

Su Nianen shook off her mother’s hand. “Lin Wenfeng, we have guests at home. Are you leaving, or are you going to ask these elders to leave?”

As Su Nianen spoke, she glanced at the elders.

However, there was one more person among the elders today…

‘Hm?’

Su Nianen’s gaze had drifted past him before quickly snapping back.

Gu Xichuan!

Instantly, she cursed in her heart. Why was he here again?!

“Why are you at my house too?”

The atmosphere was already a mess, but the outsiders were even more confused after hearing what Su Nianen said.

Gu Xichuan immediately stood up, adjusted his suit, and reached out to Su Nianen.

“Ms. Su, nice to meet you.”

Su Nianen glared at him. Nice to meet you? What the hell was this guy doing here?!
