There is a custom of New Year's greetings in Hong Kong. On the second day of the New Year, Jin Mingzhu followed her parents to visit relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings.

Jin Minghao sent them over, and then hurried away, using the excuse that he had something to do at the company. Before leaving, he gave her a look to take care of herself.

Jin Mingzhu wanted to cry but had no tears. All relatives in the world were the same. As expected, it was the aunt who spoke first.

"Mingzhu is not young anymore, do you have a boyfriend?"

Jin Mingzhu deliberately did not let the Jin family know about Xu Yang's existence and denied it.

"For us women, the most important thing is to find a good husband's family. What's the point of reading so many books?" My aunt-in-law continued.

"Yes, yes, yes! Be a good wife, support your husband and raise your children."

Jin Mingzhu couldn't understand why these relatives, who were all women themselves, were so harsh on women.

My aunt-in-law spoke again, "Do you know the Gangcheng Changhe Group?"

"The Cao family in Gangcheng is very powerful."

"His youngest son just returned from studying abroad to manage the family business. He's a nice guy. He's a good match for our family, so let Mingzhu get to know him and see how he does it."

The cousin continued, "I went to Mrs. Yang's birthday party the other day. She was worried about her son's marriage. Young Master Yang is handsome and capable. Mingzhu will enjoy a good life if she marries him."

Jin Mingzhu smiled and didn't say anything. Mrs. Jin saw her expression and knew that she was unhappy.

"My daughter is still young, there is no need to rush."

"Oh, sister-in-law should be worried. Mingzhu is not that young anymore."

The relatives began to talk again, and Jin Mingzhu felt depressed, so she went to the garden to get some fresh air.

When she got home, her mother greeted her with some photos.

"Xianxian, these are what the relatives mentioned just now. Take a look and see if there are any that you like. If they are suitable, we can develop a relationship with them."

"Oh, Mom." Jin Mingzhu was upset.

"Although these boys' family backgrounds are not as good as ours, they look handsome and have good moral character. If you find a suitable one, you can get in touch with them and have a try." Mrs. Jin pulled her and pushed the photo in front of her.

Then he asked tentatively, "You don't have any boyfriends outside, do you?"

"No!" Jin Mingzhu shook her head and denied it. She didn't know how to make her parents, who had a strong sense of family status, accept Xu Yang, who came from an ordinary family.

My aunt sent the news early that she would bring her family back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings on the third day of the New Year.

I had to hide from my parents at home to contact Xu Yang. The video call was too late last night, and Mingzhu was still sleeping when my aunt arrived.

Jin's parents were overjoyed to see their sister and brother-in-law's family. Among them was a young man with a resolute face and a slender figure. His every move and gesture exuded the noble air of someone from a famous family.

"This is?"

"Look at me, I even forgot to introduce myself." Mrs. Sheng said with a smile.

"This is Huai Jin. He grew up with Yi Chen. He came to Hong Kong alone on a business trip during the New Year, so I asked him to come along to liven things up."

"Minghao and Qianqian have also seen it."

"Is this from the Gu family in Beijing?" Father Jin asked doubtfully.

"Yes, Gu Huaijin. Hello, uncle and aunt! I am sorry to come to visit you and have prepared a small gift. I hope you will accept it."

Jin's parents had previously learned about this young president of Gu from Jin Minghao. He was able to take on important responsibilities at such a young age, which was enough to show his personal courage.

Today, I saw that he was well-mannered and spoke appropriately, which made me admire him even more.

The guest was welcomed into the living room and sat down, and the servant served tea.

"Where are Minghao and Kankan? Why aren't they here?" Mrs. Sheng asked in confusion.

"Something happened at Minghao's company, so he went to deal with it early. Wan Wan was a sleepyhead, so she hasn't gotten up yet."

"Go up and tell the young lady that her aunt has arrived." Mrs. Jin smiled indulgently and then instructed the servant.

Jin Mingzhu was sound asleep when she was awakened by the servant. When she learned that her aunt had come, she jumped out of bed, put on her nightgown hastily, and came downstairs, shouting impatiently, "Aunt, aunt."

Just as she reached the stairs and was about to go down, everyone stopped talking and laughing and looked at her: the girl was wearing a nightgown, with her white and tender feet exposed.

Jin Mingzhu looked up, but was caught off guard by Gu Huaijin's gaze. The man's lips were slightly raised, and his eyes were full of smiles, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Jin Mingzhu blushed immediately: She must have seen it wrong? Why would Gu Huaijin be in her house? She quickly picked up her skirt and ran to the room. She changed her clothes again, packed up and went downstairs again.

"Aunt, Yichen." He sat down next to his mother and greeted her.

Mrs. Jin raised her hand to tuck her messy hair behind her head and gently instructed, "Put on your clothes properly before coming down next time."

Jin Mingzhu nodded guiltily, her heart beating fast: Why did Gu Huaijin come to Gangcheng? And came to her house? What did he want to do?

Seeing Jin Mingzhu's expression of being ready for a great enemy, Gu Huaijin found it a little funny and started to explain.

"Ms. Jin, I came to Hong Kong on a business trip a few days ago and met Yi Chen, so I came to visit with Madam Sheng. I hope it won't be too disturbing."

Mingzhu stood up after her mother patted her waist with a smile on her face.

"Don't bother, welcome."

Seeing that Gu Huaijin was in charge of Gu's company at such a young age, Jin's father wanted to test him and asked him some difficult questions about business development.

The other party combined the current economic situation and gave a well-reasoned and surprising answer. There was a little more appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Gu Huaijin.

Jin Mingzhu keenly felt her father's appreciation for Gu Huaijin and thought of Xu Yang, who was also a very good boy, but would her father, who always attached great importance to family background, like him?

Jin Mingzhu left the hall and sat down on a stone bench in the garden. Steady footsteps were heard behind him. Turning back, he saw Gu Huaijin in a black suit. He walked steadily and with a clear goal. He sat down next to Jin Mingzhu.

"It's not that easy for you to come to my house, right?" Mingzhu couldn't help but say.

"I came here because I missed you." Gu Huaijin's voice was as casual as usual, but with a hint of sincerity.

"Why don't you reply?"

"Why should I reply? I don't like you." Mingzhu couldn't help but complain.

"Your father admires me very much." is an affirmative sentence.

"If I propose to them, do you think they will agree?" he said casually.

"Gu Huaijin, how dare you!" Jin Mingzhu's face changed slightly. She knew that the Gu Group was financially strong and the Gu family was a prominent family in Beijing.

For Jin Mingzhu, the Gu family is considered to be a good match. If Gu Huaijin proposes marriage, there is absolutely no reason for his parents to refuse.

Gu Huaijin's slender fingers tapped the table rhythmically, "dong, dong, dong...", disturbing her thoughts.

Gu Huaijin smiled faintly, approached her, and spoke in a low voice. "Xianxian, do you think I dare?"

Seeing Gu Huaijin go out with Jin Mingzhu, Madam Sheng understood most of what was going on. She sent Sheng Yichen away and looked at her brother and sister-in-law.

"I was wondering why Huai Jin followed me at first, but now it seems that he has fallen in love with Kan Kan."

"No way? They don't know each other." Mrs. Jin was confused.

"Xianxian goes to school in Beijing and interacts with Yichen a lot. I'm afraid she has known Huaijin for a long time."

"I think that child is good and worthy of Xianxian." Father Jin's voice was majestic, and his words were full of approval for Gu Huaijin.

"The most important thing is that Kankan likes her." Mrs. Jin added that she prayed to the Buddha for this daughter, so how could she bear to let her suffer the slightest injustice.

The war in the back garden was still going on. Gu Huaijin approached her with one hand on the table, staring at her with his dark eyes, as if he wanted to snatch what he wanted from her.

The hot breath almost burned Jin Mingzhu, and she was defeated in the confrontation.
