Chapter 472: Chapter 471: Hidden Truths

After Qu Yiqi left, Old Master Ding finally came out and asked, "Did Wei Hanyou’s wife come over for something?"

Ding Yuejun relayed the invitation from Qu Yiqi.

Old Master Ding nodded upon hearing this and said, "Since that’s the case, you and Yiyi should go over. After all, Yiyi is already good friends with the Wei family’s daughter. It can be nice for the two families to interact, and Wei Hanyou is quite capable. Although Wei Hanliang was a bit indecisive in his previous marriage, his ability to handle matters is undeniable. It’s good for the families to have close ties."

Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but say, "Yiyi and Zhirong were already good friends, so the family connections are not about holding up those aspects. So why bring up work-related matters?"

Old Master Ding hurriedly replied, "Alright, alright, I won’t mention it again. Let’s hurry and eat."

When Yiyi returned on Friday, Ding Yuejun told her about this.

Yiyi, of course, had no objections and nodded, "Great, I haven’t seen Zhirong in a while. This is a good chance to check on her recovery."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun nodded and then said, "Not sure if Tingyu will be able to take a break. If he could rest, he can come with us to the Wei family."

Yiyi shook her head upon hearing this.

She didn’t know when Gu Tingyu could take a break. Since capturing that group last time, they hadn’t contacted each other for several days.

As soon as they finished talking, the phone at home rang, and the caller was Gu Tingyu.

Yiyi was full of surprise when she heard his voice, "Tingyu..."

Hearing the girl’s delighted voice, Gu Tingyu also smiled, "Things have mostly settled. I should be able to rest tomorrow, and then I’ll come to you."

Hearing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but smile.

"Your timing is perfect; tomorrow we’re all going to the Wei family for dinner, and they’ve invited you too. You should come with us."

"Sure, I’ll come to pick you up."

After all, Wei Zixiao is also resting tomorrow, so he won’t be left alone with no one to talk to.

Yiyi directly laughed upon hearing this, "Alright, then we’ll wait for you at home tomorrow morning."

After discussing this matter, the two talked about other things.

Seeing her daughter’s sweet smile, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but shake her head with a laugh. Hearing their conversation, she figured Gu Tingyu was indeed resting tomorrow and would come to pick them up, so she decided not to interrupt the young couple’s chat and went back to her room to rest.

Yiyi talked to Gu Tingyu for a long while before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

The next day, Gu Tingyu arrived early in the morning.

Seeing him, Ding Yuejun waved with a smile and said, "Tingyu, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? Come inside and join us."

Gu Tingyu didn’t stand on ceremony and replied, "Sure, thank you, Mom."

At some point, Gu Tingyu had quietly started calling Aunt Ding "Mom".

The first time Ding Yuejun heard it, she felt a bit shy, but after hearing it more often, she accepted it calmly, especially since a son-in-law is often considered half a son. Thus, she gained another son.

When Yiyi saw Gu Tingyu, she quickly ran forward with a smile, "Tingyu, you’re here."

"Yes."

He looked at Yiyi with eyes full of affection; every time he returned, he was eager to see Yiyi, so he often skipped breakfast at home and rushed over.

Old Master Ding greeted Gu Tingyu when he saw him.

After spending time together, even though he didn’t verbally admit it, he knew in his heart that Gu Tingyu was really good to Yiyi. Such a grandson-in-law is hard to come by, so now his face brightens when he sees Gu Tingyu.

After breakfast, Ding Yuejun saw it was still early and asked Yiyi to take Gu Tingyu to her yard to chat, while she stayed with Old Master Ding.

Once it was time, Ding Yuejun took Yiyi and the others to the Wei family.

Seeing the three of them arrive, Qu Yiqi greeted them with a big smile, "Yue Jun, you’re here. Come in and have a seat." Then she called out to Wei Zixiao and Wei Zhirong, "You two, make sure to take care of Yiyi and Tingyu."

Wei Zixiao had only learned last night that Gu Tingyu and the others were coming over, so naturally, he greeted them with a smile.

Yiyi quickly turned to Wei Zhirong and asked, "Zhirong, how is your injury?"

Wei Zhirong promptly replied, "It’s mostly healed. Look, isn’t this much better?"

Yiyi carefully examined Wei Zhirong’s face, noting that her facial injuries had indeed improved, as the bruises had faded quite a bit. However, marks were still visible, so she said directly, "It’s not fully healed yet; you still need to take good care of yourself for a while."

Wei Zhirong expressed her gratitude with a smile, "Don’t worry, I will take care of myself." She then invited Yiyi to her room to chat.

Meanwhile, Wei Zixiao took Gu Tingyu to the backyard.

"Tingyu, it’s been a long time since we had a little sparring session. Let’s go a few rounds later."

Gu Tingyu didn’t refuse and said, "Sure, let’s have a quick match later."

Qu Yiqi, meanwhile, took Ding Yuejun to the front hall, "Yue Jun, it’s a rare occasion for you to come over, let’s chat properly, and tell me what you all enjoy eating, so I can ask the kitchen to prepare it."

"No worries, we’re not picky. We’ll eat anything," Ding Yuejun replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qu Yiqi smiled and said, "Alright then, I’ll just have the kitchen prepare whatever."

Meanwhile, Wei Hanyou was talking with Wei Hanliang in the study.

"The eldest lady from the Ding family has come over with Yiyi and Tingyu. Because Yiyi and the others saved Zhirong last time, we should express our gratitude properly."

Wei Hanliang nodded in agreement, "That’s a must."

Wei Hanyou then looked at his brother and said, "Actually, I didn’t call you here to talk about the younger generation’s matters. I want to talk about the Ding family’s eldest lady."

Wei Hanliang looked confused upon hearing this.

"What?"

"Take a look at this first."

Wei Hanyou handed a stack of documents to his brother.

Wei Hanliang took them in confusion and began to read carefully. When he saw the contents, his eyes were full of surprise, "What... She married that Mo Guowei because of this?"

"Yes, the Ding family’s eldest lady then thought he was you, which is why she got married. You two had already connected many years ago."

Wei Hanliang’s expression turned complex as he heard this; he hadn’t expected such a hidden story. But when he considered their current age, he looked at Wei Hanyou with a mix of amusement and disbelief, "Brother, given our age, even if there was a reason back then, it’s already too late now."
