“I went back once last year. Things are pretty good over there now. If you have time, you certainly can go back and take a look for yourself.” Du Jiuyuan gained a very good impression of this lady standing in front of her.

Ji Jingchen heard Du Jiuyuan’s words and frowned. Did she go back to Zhongshan last year? Why did he not know about it?

“Sigh, I keep thinking about going back, but I can’t get away from my work here. I almost forgot what my hometown was like.” Madam Dong sighed. Today was supposed to be a happy occasion, but her heart was filled with nostalgia.

“When I went back last year, I took some photos. Madam Dong, if you’re interested, we can have a look at them together.” Du Jiuyuan did not want to see Madam Dong being sad, so she remembered about the photos in her phone.

“That’s great. CEO Ji, you wouldn’t mind if I borrow your beautiful wife for a while, right?” Madam Dong’s eyes lit up when she heard that there were photos.

“I don’t mind.”

Du Jiuyuan let go of Ji Jingchen’s hand and held onto Madam Dong’s arm. They then walked toward the resting area inside.

Ji Jingchen’s gaze followed Du Jiuyuan all the way until the two of them disappeared from sight.

“This is turning out to be such a romantic day for you,” CEO Dong teased Ji Jingchen.

Ji Jingchen did not acknowledge CEO Dong’s words. He was thinking about another matter. Based on the way Du Jiuyuan acted previously, she probably would not have accompanied him to this banquet. However, not only did she dress up to attend, she even cooperated to make conversation with Madam Dong. This was the complete opposite of her previous attitude, which was certainly thought-provoking. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

“I may be very old, but I still have the ability to judge people. Your wife has a pure heart, so you have to cherish her.” Seeing that Ji Jingchen was a little absent-minded, CEO Dong advised him.

Ji Jingchen nodded and suddenly said, “CEO Dong, there’s something that I might have to trouble you with.”

...

Du Jiuyuan accompanied Madam Dong to look at the photos for a while and then talked about the changes in her hometown.

Madam Dong’s eyes were red with tears. She took the initiative to exchange WeChat messages with Du Jiuyuan, saying that she would definitely take more photos for Du Jiuyuan as well when she went back in the future.

“I’m old and useless. I can’t afford to do anything anymore. I don’t know whether I might still live to see another day tomorrow.” Madam Dong was a little sad. She knew that she might never go back to her hometown again.

“Cheer up, today is a happy occasion. Besides, I can take a trip to Zhongshan together with you...” Du Jiuyuan comforted Madam Dong for a while and she eventually calmed down a little.

Du Jiuyuan sent her back to the hall and went to the bathroom. When she came out, she received a call from He Lili.

“I’ve made the arrangements here. When are you planning to leave?” He Lili was very efficient, especially when it came to matters involving Du Jiuyuan. She was especially attentive.

“Wait for my call. I’ve been dragged to attend a birthday party with him.” Du Jiuyuan understood that if she wanted to leave, she had to appease Ji Jingchen so that she could catch him off guard.

Lu Ziang was very angry because Ji Jingchen had revealed his background. He saw Du Jiuyuan from afar and walked over.

“How come I see you everywhere? You’re such bad luck.” Clearly, Lu Ziang was trying to pick a bone with Du Jiuyuan.

“If you don’t want to be unlucky, you can shut yourself in.” Du Jiuyuan’s temper was not to be trifled with, so she immediately retorted.

“Lu Ziang, is it... is it that Lu Ziang?” He Lili was also one of Lu Ziang’s die-hard fans.

“Yeah, I really don’t understand why you like him. Lili, I’m hanging up now. I’ll look for you later.” Du Jiuyuan hung up the phone and ignored Lu Ziang, and prepared to leave.

“You, stop right there.” Lu Ziang finally reacted. This Du Jiuyuan was clearly not a person who was easy to bully, but he was not someone to be trifled with either.

“Oh, I seem to have forgotten that Superstar Lu still has to go through a nationwide marriage search! It’s not possible for you to keep yourself shut in.” Du Jiuyuan left after saying this.

At that moment, Gu Xingchen found Lu Ziang and stopped him from pursuing Du Jiuyuan further.

“Don’t provoke her. When Jingchen gets angry, he won’t even acknowledge his own family.” Gu Xingchen could tell that Ji Jingchen loved Du Jiuyuan very much.

“Xingchen, don’t be fooled by her. She has a heart of steel. A rose covered in thorns.” This was Lu Ziang’s evaluation of Du Jiuyuan.

“You realized this, yet you still dare to provoke her?” Gu Xingchen asked frankly.

“I can’t let her lie to Jingchen.” Lu Ziang admired Ji Jingchen very much, so he was very hostile towards Du Jiuyuan.

“What makes you think that he doesn’t like the current Du Jiuyuan?”

...

When Du Jiuyuan returned to the banquet hall, Madam Dong just happened to accompany CEO Dong on stage to give a speech, thanking everyone for coming to his birthday party. After some polite words, she officially announced her retirement and wanted to hand the company over to her son and daughter-in-law to manage. From this moment onwards, she was ready to enjoy her old age in peace. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

“Next, there’s a very important matter to be announced by a special someone.. Let’s have the person himself come up here to announce it!!” CEO Dong smiled and pointed at Ji Jingchen below the stage.
