Everyone has a different personality. Some people arrive at the company half an hour before work, while others don't waste a single second and arrive at the company right on time.

It's like a school exam. Some people think that getting 60 is the best score, not a point more or less. But getting 60 also depends on your ability.

Scoring 98 or 99 doesn't make you a genius; it's just average. 60 is the real deal, since it's just the cutoff score.

Han Guoguo is the kind of person who arrives at work right on time. At this moment, she is in the passenger seat urging her driver/bodyguard.

The driver's name was Ashuai, but Han Guoguo didn't know his surname.

He wasn't handsome or tall, and he was thin, but he looked very sturdy and like he could fight. Han Guoguo was anxious, but that didn't stop her from exploring this unknown question.

"Xiao Shuai, drive faster, floor the gas pedal. It's okay, my brother will handle the fine. It'll be harder if I'm late."

Xiao Shuai really wanted to tell this young lady that he could arrive a few minutes earlier next time, as he had to practice his driving skills every day to ensure she wouldn't be late. He obediently replied, "Okay, young lady."

Han Guoguo felt relieved when she saw that he had agreed, and leaned back comfortably in the car seat. After all, Xiao Shuai's driving skills were quite good, and he always made sure she wasn't late. Thinking about it, it seemed that she would have to get up five minutes earlier in the future, which was too much to ask of Xiao Shuai.

"Handsome, may I ask you a rather impolite question?"

Xiao Shuai had a lot on his mind. He really wanted to say, "You know it's impolite, why are you still asking?" But his mouth always beat his brain. "Miss, please ask."

Han Guoguo asked bluntly, "Why did your mother name you Xiaoshuai?"

Xiao Shuai explained frankly, "My mom disliked my dad's appearance, and when I was born, she was afraid that I would inherit my dad's genes, so she named me Xiao Shuai (meaning 'handsome')."

Han Guoguo: I didn't know it could be like this, but judging from your current facial features, your name can't hide the fact that you inherited your father's genes.

Xiao Shuai smiled and said cutely, "Does Miss also think that my name doesn't quite match my face?"

Han Guoguo said against her will, "No, no, how could that be? A name is just a label. You're not bad looking. Everyone's aesthetic is different."

As expected, people like to hear nice things, regardless of their social class. After hearing Xiaoshuai's words, he immediately smiled.

When Han Guoguo arrived at the hospital, she realized that her phone seemed to still be in Han Yue's hands. She had gotten up late that morning and was in such a hurry that she had completely forgotten to go to his room to get her phone. This guy has a habit of sleeping in late and basically never gets up in the morning.

After thinking for a moment, she called Han Yue using a landline. The call rang once but no one answered. She dialed a second time, but still no one answered. Han Guoguo checked her work schedule and saw that she had 5 minutes left, so she kept calling.

It wasn't until the fifth call that the call was finally answered. Han Yue on the other end spoke in a very unfriendly tone, his voice hoarse, "Hello, speak."

Han Guoguo immediately spoke up, "Brother, if you wake up, please bring my phone to the hospital."

An impatient voice came through the phone, "Why didn't you come and pick it up yourself in the morning? Go to sleep, we'll talk about it when you wake up."

Han Guoguo was speechless. This guy wasn't like this when he borrowed his phone. "Brother, you can't do this. By the time you wake up, it'll be afternoon. Do I still need my phone then?"

Han Yue: "Then go home and get it yourself tonight."

Han Guoguo patiently said, "Brother, it's easy to borrow again if you repay what you borrow. But what about credit? What about credit? Do you even want to use my phone again in the future?"

Han Yue: "Just focus on your work, stop talking so much nonsense, go to sleep."

Han Guoguo: "..............."

Two hours later, Han Yue had his bodyguard take Han Guoguo's phone to the hospital.

Han Guoguo was stunned when she received the phone, because it was in a sealed bag, similar to what the police do when collecting evidence.

For a fleeting moment, she thought she was already dead.

When the bodyguard handed her the phone, he explained, "Miss, this is your phone. Mr. Han said I'm only responsible for delivering the phone, and my fingerprints cannot appear on it."

Han Guoguo took the phone and expressed her understanding. After the bodyguard left, she looked at the phone from left to right and carefully checked it. Then she opened WeChat and found nothing unusual before putting the phone away. She was just wondering why Han Yue had taken her phone.

Want to see Xixi?

She didn't have time to think about it during work hours, so she gave up on it.

Meanwhile, at the Ji residence, Yuan Shu and Tang Junyao were still in the living room, and Ji Hancheng was still chatting with his grandfather in the study.

Yuan Shu's personality is inherently aloof, somewhat similar to Ji Hancheng's, though they express themselves differently.

It's just that Yuan Shu isn't arrogant, while Ji Hancheng is, and he'll stubbornly guard that line of arrogance in his heart. It's already quite remarkable that Yuan Shu was able to say these words to her today.

Tang Junyao thought to herself that she probably also wanted a harmonious family.

My thoughts were interrupted when a burst of laughter came from the doorway. I heard the voice before I saw the person, and it was full of joy. "It's a good day. Everyone's busy. Keep up the good work."

The newcomer was giving orders to the servants, acting like the mistress of the house, with an air of superiority.

Yuan Shu recognized the voice immediately, but didn't pay any attention, not even raising her head, and focused on correcting her grandson's mistakes in assembling the Lego.

However, Tang Junyao could not ignore the newcomer. After all, she was a junior, and she had to maintain a proper appearance to avoid being criticized and losing face for Yuan Shu and Ji Hancheng.

After getting together, there will definitely be more things to consider than when you're single. They're now a couple on the same page. She looked up and politely called out, "Auntie."

Tang Junting held Ji Mingyuan's hand intimately. Lately, Ji Mingyuan hadn't been asking her for anything, always saying he was busy, which made her anxious.

Tang Junting took the initiative to bring up the matter of getting a marriage certificate with Shen Pei, and even said that today was a particularly auspicious day. After hearing this, Shen Pei immediately agreed, which was beyond Tang Junting's expectations.

Tang Junting was also afraid that things might change if she waited too long. As long as they got their marriage certificate, it didn't matter when they got engaged. She would feel uneasy if Ji Mingyuan was seduced by some vixen one day, which would be a huge loss for her. It would be more reassuring to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible. With the certificate in hand, she would be the rightful Mrs. Ji.

Tang Junting held up the marriage certificate in her hand, seemingly casually, and called out sweetly, "Sister-in-law."

Deep down, I was unwilling and wanted to say that something was wrong with her; she should be called "sister-in-law" instead of "elder sister."

Tang Junyao wasn't blind; how could she not see such a bright red notebook? Of course, she also knew that Tang Junting had deliberately held it face up. If she didn't say something now, it would seem like she was doing Tang Junting a disservice for her actions.

She offered her congratulations in a light tone, which was genuine, since the two of them being together was a contribution to society. "You got your marriage certificate, congratulations!"

Tang Junting naturally accepted the blessing. She took Ji Mingyuan's hand and sat on the sofa. Just as she was about to say something, she spotted the same marriage certificate on the coffee table.

She assumed Tang Junyao was also going to remarry today, and said with a grin, "Sister-in-law, are you and my brother going to remarry today too?"

Shen Pei was stunned. Remarriage? When did they get divorced? Why didn't they know?

Shen Pei seemed to have heard something earth-shattering, his voice rising several decibels, "You two got divorced, and then remarried?"

She genuinely believed she was divorced when she told Tang Junting and the others that Ji Hancheng had nothing to do with her anymore. Now it seems she can't say that anymore. "See for yourself."

Yuan Shu ignored the three people throughout the entire process. Ji Mingyuan thought Tang Junyao looked even more beautiful today, but after only a few glances, he remembered what Yuan Shu had said at the dinner table last time, and had to reluctantly avoid looking at her.

Because she was in a good mood after getting her marriage certificate today, Tang Junting didn't notice that Ji Mingyuan's gaze kept drifting towards Tang Junyao.

Tang Junting was simply curious about what Tang Junyao meant. She remembered that when she and her father went to the hospital to beg her, Tang Junyao had said she was getting a divorce. At the time, Tang Junyao had thought Tang Junyao was a fool.

She shoved her marriage certificate into Ji Mingyuan's hand, then reached for Tang Junyao's marriage certificate on the table to check it. After just glancing at the time, she stared wide-eyed at the calmly sitting Tang Junyao, "Didn't you get divorced? Why isn't the date for getting your marriage certificate today?"

Was it two years ago?

Shen Pei hurriedly took the marriage certificate from her hand to examine it. After reading it, he glared at Tang Junting with displeasure, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Now that the matter was clear, Tang Junyao didn't want to say anything more. She remained silent, as if this matter had nothing to do with her. "You can solve the case yourselves," she said.

Yuan Shu stopped what she was doing and scolded Tang Junting, "You're always making a fuss. You can't stand seeing your sister-in-law and your brother together, can you? You have to bring up the divorce. Didn't your mother teach you to think things through before you act? Your mouth always beats your brain. If this happens again, you don't need to come to the Ji residence."

Upon hearing this, Tang Junyao changed her mind, realizing that Yuan Shu wasn't cold-hearted; she simply reserved her gentleness and protectiveness for those she cared about.

Shen Pei glared at Tang Junting and lectured her, thinking it was better to scold her himself than Yuan Shu would do so. "Hurry up and thank your aunt for her guidance. Don't believe everything you hear in the future."

Today's Shen Pei was unbelievable to Tang Junyao. But the weasel offering New Year's greetings to the chicken was probably up to no good. Who knows what kind of evil he was plotting?

Tang Junting clutched her limited-edition dress, apologizing reluctantly, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, it won't happen again."

Tang Junting originally thought she could catch this bitch in the act, thinking that since the son was Master Ji's, the daughter couldn't be. Little did she know that the daughter was actually Lu Jinnan's.

She deliberately revealed this to Shen Pei, but Shen Pei scolded her, saying she was stupid for not being able to find out such a small thing.

Can you blame her? She has limited funds; how could she afford such a good detective?

It really doesn't hurt to stand and talk.

Tang Junyao responded calmly and kindly explained, "This certificate was indeed renewed today, but the previous photo wasn't very good, so your brother wanted to change the style and had a new one taken. You should understand how he keeps up with the times."

Tang Junting: I don't understand you guys at all. Are you bored out of your minds? You even have to get your marriage certificates to keep up with the latest trends.

Shen Pei chuckled to ease the tension, "Sister-in-law, it's rare that Mingyuan and Acheng got their marriage certificate together today—oh wait, Acheng got it replaced—which means today is a good day. We should celebrate today and ask Sister-in-law Ji to prepare a lot of dishes."

They're planning to save it for lunch; they have every reason to freeload.

Neither Yuan Shu nor Tang Junyao spoke, because even if they said no, they would still stay, so they might as well save their breath.

There was a noise at the top of the stairs on the second floor. Ji Hancheng came out of the old man's study. Tang Junyao looked in his direction and her expression was not good. She had a feeling that she had been scolded by her grandfather. She frowned slightly.

He walked straight down the stairs to Tang Junyao and sat down naturally next to her. "Are you eating here?"

Yuan Shu suggested, "Let's eat before we go."

Tang Junyao certainly wouldn't object; even with Yuan Shu protecting her, she had to stay. "Eat before you go."

This was also the first meal after obtaining the replacement certificate, except that there were a few unimportant people with us.

The anger on his face subsided, he took her hand and rubbed it gently, then put the marriage certificate from the table into the inner pocket of his suit jacket.

It's close to my chest, hidden deep inside my heart.

The next second, Ji Hancheng casually toyed with Tang Junyao's fingers, his sharp gaze fixed on Tang Junting, "Miss Tang, shouldn't you apologize to my wife?"

Everyone present was surprised by the sudden question. What was wrong now?

Shen Pei brought her son here today with a purpose, which was the same as before: "Acheng, Tingting has already apologized. She misheard the information and thought you were getting divorced and remarrying today, but she has already apologized."

Ji Hancheng glanced at Tang Junyao. Whether they were divorced or married, it seemed like they had kept it all hidden. "Auntie, your daughter-in-law is quite capable."

Shen Pei realized that Ji Hancheng's tone was unfriendly and felt that things weren't as she thought. She tentatively asked, "Acheng, what did Tingting do?"

Ji Hancheng didn't want to beat around the bush and bluntly exposed, "If you want to gain attention on the trending topics in the future, just tell me. I can put you on the list and keep your popularity going. Don't be so presumptuous as to resort to such low-level tactics. My wife doesn't need you to spend money to get her on the trending topics."

As for why Ji Hancheng didn't punish Tang Junting, it's simply because this scandal accelerated his marriage registration, so the good and bad outweighed each other.

Others might not understand what she was saying, but Tang Junting did. She felt uneasy, even though she had done it quite discreetly.

Tang Junyao's previous bad news had already been deleted, but it wasn't Ji Hancheng who hired people to delete it; it was the media outlets that broke the news that automatically deleted it as soon as the proposal video was released.

Who would be so tired of living as to deliberately walk towards death?

Yuan Shu's face turned cold, and she said sternly, "Shen Pei, if you can't teach your daughter-in-law properly, don't bring her out to embarrass yourself in the future."

To show that she was also unaware, Shen Pei stood up and slapped Tang Junting, who was sitting next to her. Ji Mingyuan did not stop her, but just watched indifferently, without any intention of protecting her.

Tang Junting was caught off guard by the slap and felt very embarrassed. Clutching her aching face, she asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"

Shen Pei stood with her hands on her hips, genuinely angry, as Tang Junting had disrupted her plans for the day. She asked, "What exactly did you do to make your older brother angry?"

She came here today to beg Ji Hancheng to let Ji Mingyuan join the company, using marriage as an excuse. Now, forget about it. She's such a drag on.

Once my son is cured, I must get rid of this guy; he's more trouble than he's worth.

She was furious.

Yuan Shu remained seated, and said, "Take her home and educate her. Bring her out again once she's properly trained."

Tang Junting was unhappy. Today was supposed to be a happy day, but she was slapped in the face. What was going on? It was clearly this bitch who said she was divorced. "It wasn't me who said she was divorced. She said she divorced my brother. I just told the media the truth. What did I do wrong?"

Now everyone knows the reason behind it all. It turns out that the person who was trending on social media and criticizing the young mistress was the second young mistress. How wicked she is! Why can't she stand to see others doing well?

Several servants waiting in the living room were also dissatisfied. The young mistress was such a nice person, spoke so politely, and had no airs at all. It was obvious that the problem lay with the second young mistress.

Shen Pei was trembling with anger. This idiot! You caused trouble, and you didn't even clean up your mess before getting caught red-handed. How shameful! Feigning anger, he said, "You even brought this to the media. Have you lost your mind? I'll give you a good talking to when we get home."

As he spoke, Shen Pei pulled Ji Mingyuan out of the living room of the Ji residence and headed towards the front door. This meal was out of the question, and the matter of helping Ji Mingyuan secure an opportunity could not be mentioned today.

Tang Junting followed behind with a wronged expression, glaring at Tang Junyao fiercely before leaving.

Tang Junyao responded with a smile, not feeling sorry for her at all. There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. If Tang Junting hadn't been so focused on marrying into a wealthy family, but instead chose an ordinary family and lived a good life, she might have been happy.

To be fair, Tang Junting wasn't particularly beautiful, but she wasn't ugly either; she was above average. However, she was used to being a kept woman, so getting her to get up was very difficult.
