Gu Qian wasn't someone with poor learning abilities. On the contrary, as long as something piqued her interest, she'd pick it up quickly. For instance, she possessed knowledge about fashion; even if she usually preferred black, white, and gray, she could style these three colors into a trendy photoshoot look.
So, during the meal, she discreetly paid attention to how Shen Jue tried to win over Mrs. Mo. After observing for an entire afternoon, she had some insights. For instance, when Shen Jue placed dishes on Mrs. Mo's plate, even if Mrs. Mo didn't like that dish, what she relished was the feeling of being cared for.
On closer inspection, Gu Qian noticed that the roots of Mrs. Mo's dyed hair had started to show white strands. Even though her face bore no wrinkles, time had not spared her, leaving its marks.
She had aged and thus longed more for her grandchildren around her, basking in their youthful company.
