Guo Mingfu was well aware of his mother's intentions.
But as a grown man, Guo Mingfu couldn't bring himself to stoop to his mother's level of ingratiating himself to a woman for connections.
Thankfully, Su Yunjin came to the rescue in time, "Auntie, that's enough, don't make it difficult for Brother Guo. We're all family, there's no need for formalities between you and Brother Guo."
Su Yunjin noticed Guo Mingfu's embarrassment and found him more agreeable. If Guo Mingfu had been as sycophantic as his mother, Su Yunjin would have looked down on him even more.
Su Yunjin detested simpering and fawning men the most.
"Yes, yes, family, family." Guo's mother heard nothing else, only that Su Yunjin said they were family.
To Guo's mother, as long as they were family, everything else could be easily discussed. Su Yunjin's proactive claim that they were family meant to Guo's mother that Su Yunjin truly considered them as her own.
