CHAPTER 854: CHAPTER 854: WHO OUTWITS WHOM? (3)

"There’s nothing special—" Zhao Mengjin tried to remember. She went to Hong Kong Island usually for musical exchanges and didn’t really get involved in the business circle.

Gu Nuan had already noticed the necklace hanging on her neck and asked, "Did your grandmother give it to you?"

Madam Zhao hails from Hong Kong Island, a genuine descendant of Hong Kong Island locals. Gu Nuan realized this from the first moment she saw Madam Zhao.

Because Madam Zhao was very particular about her daily habits, not merely because of her well-educated background.

Just looking at Madam Zhao, who wore different jewelry every day, some of which seemed a bit odd to outsiders. However, Madam Zhao believed this could bring her luck.

In the room where Madam Zhao stayed, old almanacs and other books were undoubtedly present.

Zhao Mengjin never knew about this. Mainly because her mother seemed to have never researched or taught her this stuff. She was raised by her mother, not her grandmother. Madam Zhao’s habits did not pass down to her.

But indeed, now that Gu Nuan mentioned it, Zhao Mengjin remembered. When Ou Chunhua called, her grandmother deliberately phoned an overseas friend.

"What age are we living in now—" Once Zhao Mengjin figured out what was going on, given her scientific education since childhood, she certainly found not only the Ou Family but even her grandmother’s behavior amusing and foolish.

Thus, this little girl might not be suitable for business; maybe continuing to play the violin suits her better. Just think about how Gu Nuan, upon hearing about this situation, filled her head with thoughts on business dealings with Hong Kong Island people.

Regarding people’s customs, whether they believe in this stuff or not, Gu Nuan wouldn’t criticize them at all. That’s certainly not something she could manage. Gu Jinrong just needed to take care of business matters.

"Aunt told me all this, thinking it’s inappropriate?" Zhao Mengjin could only simply think of it as a scientific issue and smiled at Gu Nuan, saying, "Aunt, I haven’t even thought about dating yet, now—my mom and uncle—"

She initially wanted to say this to put her aunt’s mind at ease.

Unexpectedly, Gu Nuan shook her head and said to her, "You need to know what kind of people they are to know how to deal with them in the future. Unless you’re planning to turn back after going there, you really didn’t need to return to the country."

Zhao Mengjin was stunned, feeling almost transparent in front of Gu Nuan, as Gu Nuan seemed to see right through her intentions.

"Agreed on a time with the other party, I can go with you."

"Mm-hmm." Zhao Mengjin nodded vigorously like pounding garlic. Her gaze shifted to Gu Nuan’s belly.

Feeling her gaze, Gu Nuan smiled lightly and said, "It’s only two or three months, you can’t really see anything."

Zhao Mengjin blushed.

She was indeed curious. One could say at her age, she should be getting married. And getting married means having children. Always thought having children was quite a magical thing.

As she left Gu Nuan’s room, she suddenly realized she hadn’t comforted Gu Nuan.

Gu Nuan seemed to purposely avoid the topic.

Probably because touching on it would instead hurt more; perhaps it’s better not to mention it.

Xiao Shulan sat in her company office, pondering and occasionally exchanging glances with Xiao Shuju, who was sitting in her office.

After the lessons learned from before, the two sisters no longer dared to make hasty decisions.

Xiao Shuju cleared her throat and said, "Second Sister, maybe we should find someone—"
