Mrs. Chen pushed open the door and saw Gu Fei resting her chin in her hand, staring blankly at a vibrant, dazzling object on the table.
Mrs. Chen's heart skipped a beat. 'My daughter's expression… something isn't right. Don't tell me she's fallen for someone?'
'And what's that on the table?'
'It's so beautiful, clearly not some ordinary object. Where did it come from?'
'I was browsing around all last night, but I didn't see anything so exquisite for sale anywhere!'
'It couldn't have been a gift from some young man, could it?'
Mrs. Chen quietly backed out and closed the door.
The moment she was out, she pulled Gu Zhang into their room, shut the door, and said in a low voice, "Our daughter wants to go to the city alone to open an inn. How can you be at ease with that?"
Gu Zhang nodded. "I am. My daughter is smart and capable. I have more faith in her than I do in our eldest son."
Mrs. Chen was speechless. "That's not confidence, that's just you being careless!"
