...

Dinner:

Compared to the warm family dinner of three at Linhai Villa, dining at the Gu Family appeared much more constrained.

Jian Ran was responsible for serving dishes to Tang Bao, making sure that the little girl’s food was safe and wouldn’t spike her blood sugar.

Gu Mochen’s calm, ink-colored eyes focused on the mother and daughter beside him, displaying little interest.

Seeing this, Gu Wei couldn’t help but speak up: "Mo Chen... are you aware of the Han Family situation?"

The topic of importance had arrived.

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Gu Mochen’s mouth as he nodded.

"Yes, I saw the news this morning... Sorry, Siming."

The news impact from Dong Qin was the same for both the Gu Family and the Han Family.

The Gu Family remained unscathed, but the Han Family was directly hammered down.

This was absolutely like a disastrous piece of news.

Gu Mochen hadn’t expected... that Han Siming was all show... In actuality, the Han Family couldn’t withstand a single blow.

Han Siming held a wine glass, and upon hearing Gu Mochen’s words, he sincerely spoke up.

"Big brother, don’t say that... During these two days of crisis in the Han Family, I reflected deeply—it’s all my fault.

Back in college... During that time, since Ranran loved design, I majored in design, so I’m not really cut out for business management.

Under my charge, the Han Family has increasingly declined, and much of the responsibility lies with me. "

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she listened to Han Siming’s words, and her expression subtly changed.

Han Siming studied abroad in America... was it not related to business operation?

But rather... design...

A young girl aspiring to be a designer and then eagerly waiting for her boyfriend to also study it, so they could be a pair.

Most of these words were said in jest.

Jian Ran hadn’t expected that when Han Siming went to America, he... chose a major in design.

"Big brother, this drink is for you... when my mother had the accident, I was momentarily blinded by folly, thus I was disrespectful in my words to you and sister-in-law, and I am the one who should apologize."

Jian Ran watched Han Siming rise, respectfully holding up his wine glass with a devout expression.

This was his first time... calling her sister-in-law in her presence...

Jian Ran suddenly realized... she could no longer easily grasp the rapidly changing Han Siming.

Gu Mochen’s narrow eyes filled with profound light, scanned the man in front of him, and lifted his own glass of red wine.

"It’s fine, Siming... you are already an adult and can stand on your own. Next time... make sure such a situation doesn’t happen again."

"Thank you big brother for your guidance; I understand now... I wish you and Ranran...no, sister-in-law happiness, my sincere blessings to you both."

Han Siming’s gaze was earnest, stirring some emotions in Jian Ran.

Unable to discern the truth.

But... if the Han Family’s bankruptcy could indeed make Han Siming grow overnight, it might not be such a bad thing after all.

Jian Ran lifted the corners of her lips, raised her glass in front of her, and softly said.

"Han Siming, I too hope... that you can find happiness... Hmm, I still remember back in college, many girls liked you. Maybe take a look back once in a while, you might meet someone destined."

Jian Ran’s lips curved into a subtle smile, her beautiful eyes shimmering like the stars.

Han Siming felt that he had never seen anyone with eyes more radiant and lively than Jian Ran’s in his entire life.

Suppressing his complicated emotions, he couldn’t afford any mistakes... it was only just beginning.
