After spending a day at his house, she was now familiar with Gu Jinhang!

Ji Mingzhe looked at the beautiful cake in surprise. “Did Gu Qingyao make this herself?”

“Of course, I watched her make it. It’s delicious!”

Ji Mingzhe happily hugged the cake and said to Gu Jinhang and Ji Mingzhe, “Have a seat. I’ll give this to the children to try. Brother, help me take care of our guest.”

With that, she vanished.

Ji Mingzhe was already married with children. The Ji family had more than one small child.

Ji Mingzhe looked at his delighted younger sister in disbelief. He asked Gu Jinhang, “How did your younger cousin do that? The girl has been depressed for many years but afraid to worry us, so she hides her feelings and puts on a forced smile. How did she change so much in just half a day?”

Gu Jinhang laughed. “What do you mean depressed? You just haven’t found the right solution. Most crucially, she hasn’t met the right man.”

Ji Mingzhe was startled, then asked sincerely, “What do you mean?”

A wicked gleam flashed across Gu Jinhang’s eyes, but he said seriously, “You’ve met our Yao Yao before! She’s been gone for so many years, and she got her doctorate overseas. She has lots of experiences, but most importantly, our family is pretty optimistic and positive. She often interacts with such people, which gives her a sunny disposition.

“Also! I’ve heard a little of what happened to her. But it’s just that Bai Chi! He’s nothing but scum. You just have to introduce her to someone even better and more successful than him. In the past, the Ji family’s standing in the capital might not have been sufficient, and you did not know enough about the rich young men here. Also, the Bai family is an important one. But things are different now, right?”

Ji Mingzhe looked thoughtful.

Gu Jinhang continued, “The Ji family is doing pretty well. You’ve been in the capital for so many years, surely you know some men? You must not only know them, but you must also know what their family is like. A good family will certainly raise more successful children. It also shows that the entire family is doing well, and everyone gets along. That way, your younger sister won’t be bullied after she marries into the family.”

Ji Mingzhe nodded. He definitely agreed with Gu Jinhang’s words. He did not seem to realize that Gu Jinhang had changed the topic!

Gu Jinhang said, “Actually, your younger sister is just in bad company. There are so many rich families in the capital, and we are all adults. If you move in these circles, it’s quite normal to be bullied. It’s not a big deal.

“Just find her someone more outstanding. Besides family, I think your best choice would be someone a little older. Not too old, just someone stable and mature, with a career. Ideally, he would be the family successor. If your younger sister can meet such a man, surely her problems will be solved.”

Ji Mingzhe frowned, “I have thought of introducing my sister to someone outstanding! It’s just that no one dares to offend the Bai family. Those who dare won’t do so for the sake of a small family like ours. As for a family successor, someone so outstanding would never take a fancy to my sister.

“Most importantly, my younger sister is already twenty-eight. All the successful men from good backgrounds have been married long ago. None of them is single.”

Gu Jinhang said, “Is that so? Do people get married so early nowadays? I’m sure there are plenty of men in their thirties who are still single.. In my family, only my oldest cousin is married with children! I’m still single. My fourth brother is still single at his age and is even studying overseas!”
