As Li Chen was deeply engrossed in setting up his office, a storm was silently brewing in the Gu household.
Master Gu returned home earlier than usual, a rare smile gracing his face. He found Madame Gu leisurely sipping tea and inquired, "Why are you back so early, dear?"
Madame Gu was instantly curious, her greed always searching for new opportunities. "Did something special happen, darling? You seem unusually happy."
Madame Gu, fueled by her own ambitions, pressed further, "Don't keep us in suspense, dear."
Master Gu eventually disclosed the news, "I received a call from the Shan family in Beijing. Their son is interested in our Liangliang."
Madame Gu's eyes gleamed with a hint of recognition, but she remained silent. She knew the Shan family all too well, but she wasn't about to share her knowledge with her husband. Her thoughts raced, considering the potential benefits of this newfound connection.
