The Ling family has two sons, Ling Tianyou and Ling Tianze.
The brothers are only three years apart, but their personalities are poles apart: one is cold, the other is warm.
Now Ling Tianze's child is already five years old, while Ling Tianyou is still single.
It's hard enough having a wife, but she has 'a bit of a mental illness'.
It's obvious this meeting is going to be a battlefield.
"What kind of girl does your family like? Gentle? Lively?" Gu Ningyue asked Ling Tianyou's opinion while holding several outfits: "Which one is appropriate to wear?"
Ling Tianyou raised an eyebrow, "Why don't you ask what kind of girl I like?"
Gu Ningyue paused in her comparison of the outfits: "Then, what kind of girl does President Ling like?"
President Ling? They're about to get married and she still calls him President Ling?
Ling Tianyou didn't answer her question but pointed at the light blue cheongsam in her hand: "This one! My parents like it."
"Oh, oh." Gu Ningyue didn't notice his mood and nodded, taking the clothes back to the room.
After a while, a girl wearing white high heels gracefully came to him.
Her figure was just too perfect, a flawless S shape.
Especially that slender waist, swaying as if igniting a fire in Ling Tianyou's eyes, burning away his original indifference.
"No time to do my hair, is this okay?" Gu Ningyue's big waves fell behind her, with only a little lipstick on her delicate face, "President Ling?"
Ling Tianyou snapped back to reality, seized her hand, "What did you call me?"
Gu Ningyue finally caught a glimpse of his displeasure: "Then, Tianyou?"
"Tianyou?" Ling Tianyou chewed on the words, "Forget it, just go with it!"
It can be changed after marriage, better than calling me President Ling.
Gu Ningyue had no idea what he was thinking, attempting to withdraw her hand only to be met with a murderous glare.
Left with no choice, she conceded, letting Ling Tianyou lead her by the hand to the door and into the car one after the other.
"Hey, what if your parents don't like me?" Gu Ningyue felt a sudden unease thinking about the upcoming events: "By the way, what's your brother's temperament like?"
Watching her expression, Ling Tianyou couldn't help but smile: "You weren't afraid of Long Zhihai, why are you scared now? This is news."
Gu Ningyue muttered softly, "How can it be the same?"
She couldn't exactly tie up the whole Ling family and beat them up!
If she really did that, she'd be closer to dying.
"It's just having a meal and spending some time." Ling Tianyou reached out and stroked her head, "Everyone's easy to get along with except my dad, who's a bit serious. It's just that..."
"Just what?" Gu Ningyue asked.
"Just that my little nephew has been spoiled with some bad habits, rarely sits quietly during meals, likes pranks, just ignore him." Ling Tianyou explained, "If he bothers you, tell me!"
Nevertheless, someone who turned Shenghua Club upside down can't be stopped by a mere child.
Gu Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief; it's just a mischievous kid, nothing to be scared of.
As for anyone else, worrying won't help much, just take things as they come!
Along the way to the old Ling house, Ling Tianyou led Gu Ningyue by the hand into the villa.
The butler saw him coming back, his face full of smiles, "Young master, you're back. I'll go inform the master and mistress immediately."
With that, he went in to report, treating Gu Ningyue as if she was invisible.
Clearly, Ling Tianyou's family doesn't like this daughter-in-law yet to step through the door.
But it's fine, who's to blame but the original owner for being so dumb!
Having done so many brainless things and wrecked her reputation, it's just how it is.
Following Ling Tianyou into the villa, Ling Tianyou's mother was the first to welcome them: "Tianyou, you're finally back. Let me look at you - oh dear, you're slimmer... "
Ling Tianyou pressed his lips, "Mom, this is Ning Yue."
Xia Chenyu's gaze then shifted to Gu Ningyue, who hadn't drawn her attention initially as she focused on her son.
At first glance, she realized that this Gu family lady was quite the beauty.
That figure, that face, there wouldn't be a second like her in A City, perhaps not even nationwide.
Just a pity... her mind isn't entirely sound.
"Look at me, too busy talking to Tianyou, have a seat! Don't be too reserved."
Gu Ningyue nodded slightly, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Where's dad?" Ling Tianyou glanced around, "Isn't Tianze home again?"
Xia Chenyu chuckled, "It's because he heard you're coming back today. Tianze went with your sister-in-law to buy ingredients, saying you hardly come back and wants to show off his skills. Your dad's in the study, you know no one dares disturb him when he's reading."
As they talked, the sound of the door opening was heard in the garden.
Shortly after, a little boy ran joyfully towards them, "Uncle, you're finally back!"
Ling Tianyou squatted down and hugged the little guy who jumped into his arms, "Xuanxuan, have you been behaving lately?"
"For him to be obedient would be a miracle." Ling Tianze complained as he entered, carrying bags, "He needs to be urged to eat, won't sleep well at night, such a headache."
"Alright, our big brother rarely comes back, what are you talking about!" The woman beside him, wearing a beige suit, with a small face and clear eyes, said: "Brother, sister-in-law."
She was the first to greet Gu Ningyue since arriving at the Ling house, making Gu Ningyue smile, "Hello."
Ling Tianze took Xuanxuan from Ling Tianyou and, when his gaze fell on Gu Ningyue, also smiled, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Though he had heard of Gu Ningyue's reputation, he was used to being adventurous and knew that seeing isn't necessarily believing, so he wasn't too hostile towards her.
"I bought fresh asparagus, we can serve it with shrimp tonight." Liu Liu checked with Xia Chenyu about the dishes she wanted and then turned to Gu Ningyue: "What do you want to eat, sister-in-law? I can try to make it for you."
"Anything is fine, don't worry too much." Gu Ningyue liked Liu Liu's eyes, "Let me help you! I can do a bit too."
Liu Liu laughed, "Thanks, big sister-in-law, Tianze only knows how to eat and doesn't help me with anything!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ling Tianze hurriedly defended, holding his son, "I even gave you a massage yesterday!"
Liu Liu's face turned crimson, playfully glancing at Ling Tianze as if she were a little wife.
Ling Tianyou stood by, inexplicably feeling a bit envious of the scene he now found commonplace...
