Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Out of curiosity, Tang Junyao really wanted to know how Su Xue knew, and secondly, how she remained calm. Judging from Lu Jinnan's beating of Hancheng today, it seemed that Su Xue hadn't even told Lu Jinnan.

"You didn't tell your little Nan Nan, did you?"

Su Xue's eyes widened, and she lowered her hand from her chest. "How did you know?"

Han Guoguo helped to explain, "Xiaoxue wanted to tell her, but struggled for three days, and finally told me. I told my husband, the most trustworthy person in our family, because she was afraid that Lu Jinnan would beat Yue Lao when he got excited, which would snap the red line."

As Guoguo spoke, fearing it wasn't vivid enough, she made a scissor gesture. Tang Junyao sighed, feeling sorry for her desire for Lele to be her son-in-law; they could have two different ideas while sleeping in the same bed.

Su Xue asked again, "No, how do you know I was hiding it from Xiao Nan? Let me tell you, every time I was about to tell her, I would kiss Xiao Nan to shut myself up. After all that, I would get tired and fall asleep, not wanting to talk anymore, and another day would pass. Ever since I found out about this, I've been exercising way too much."

Han Guoguo and Tang Junyao: "............." Is this a topic they can listen to? If Xiaoxue hadn't decided not to have children, she could probably produce a whole football team at this pace.

Finally, Tang Junyao told Su Xue and Guoguo about Lu Jinnan beating up Han Yue and Ji Hancheng. After hearing it, the two of them laughed heartily, becoming the focus of the coffee shop once again. Tang Junyao covered one side of her face with one hand to reduce her presence.

Han Guoguo was a beat slow to realize a crucial point: "My brother got beaten up?"

Tang Junyao: "Big sister, isn't your reaction time a little slow? It's been several hours since you finished beating me up."

"Wait a minute, I'll call and ask. Xiaoxue, I have a way to calm you down. Have Yaoyao send you a picture of Ji Hancheng's injury, and then send the picture to Lu Jinnan so he can make it his phone wallpaper. After seeing it a lot, you'll naturally calm down, and your dream of becoming his son-in-law won't be far away. Also, tonight, use all your skills to conquer your little Nannan."

Before Tang Junyao could object, Su Xue had already stared at her, her eyes saying, "You'd better do what you want."

Tang Junyao genuinely intended to thank Guoguo for being so clever, but then sighed and said, "You can't play like this, Lao Ji got beaten up pretty badly."

Han Guoguo was already texting her brother: Brother, how are you? Should I come to see you? Are you still able to get up?

Han Yue, who was on the other end, received the message and thought to himself, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast": It's nothing.

Han Guoguo: Really?

Han Yue: Do I look like a weakling?

Han Guoguo thought about it and realized that Lu Jinnan was more like it: "I'm just concerned about you. Besides, it's possible to suddenly become weak when you get older."

Han Yue: Even the weakest chicken can be beaten up.

Han Guoguo posted an angry emoji, which was a GIF of someone carrying a 40-meter-long sword and mopping the floor.

Seeing that Su Xue was staring at her, Tang Junyao, who was at fault and had kept quiet for longer than Su Xue, finally compromised, "I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee success. I also need Lao Ji's cooperation in whether or not to let us film it."

Su Xue: "If you don't give it to him, then wait until he falls asleep and take the picture."

Tang Junyao: "I don't want to get married a third time. Even though this second marriage is fake, it's still a certificate."

Hearing this, the three of them laughed together. Tang Junyao took a sip of coffee and asked, "Tell me, how did you find out about Lele and Yueyue?"

Speaking of this, Su Xue was particularly proud, with a smile on her face, and deliberately lowered her voice, "Let me tell you, this depends on my observation skills. It all started after we came back from our trip. I'm a bit careless, and sometimes I forget to knock before I just open the door. I always forget to knock."

Su Xue spoke with exaggerated gestures and vivid descriptions, even mimicking the actions and sounds of opening the door.

"Then one day I forgot to knock on the door. I don't remember which day it was, but I accidentally saw a small hickey on Yueyue's neck. Usually, when she wears a turtleneck, a shirt, or a scarf, I can't see it. That day, she was wearing pajamas and getting ready to go to sleep. I was giving her a gift from my trip, and I forgot to give her a bracelet. That's when my sharp eyes spotted it."

Tang Junyao: "And you refrained from asking?" That's a bit unbelievable.

"Of course I couldn't ask. Yueyue's personality isn't like mine; she doesn't blush and get shy easily. She's as soft and gentle as water. After I gave her the things, I went back to my room. I thought and thought, and I couldn't sleep all night. You said Lele has a girlfriend, and now Yueyue has hickeys on her neck. It's obvious she has a boyfriend too. My heart sank to the bottom of a lake..."

Tang Junyao was afraid that her best friend would talk for hours without getting to the point, so she said, "Big sister, can you get to the point? Use fewer embellishments. We're not writing an essay, so just be straightforward and tell me how you found out. Skip the strawberry thing."

Su Xue: "Why are you such a spoilsport? I was in the middle of a really high spirit. Fine, I'm tired of racking my brains for the right words and phrases."

"I didn't dare ask, because I was afraid Yueyue would overthink it. Xiaonan is quite principled and rarely goes into Yueyue's room at night. He always knocks before entering, and when he does raid her, he only goes to her studio. He doesn't follow her. But I'm different. I followed Yueyue the very next day and spent the whole night researching tracking techniques. Hard work pays off. After secretly following her for a day, I saw what was going on. Around eight o'clock, I saw Lele enter the studio, and then the studio lights went out. Lele didn't come out until after nine o'clock. I even saw the security camera at the door go black for a moment."

Han Guoguo's face remained calm and composed as she listened to the explanation for the third time. However, Su Xue's explanation this time included a few new words.

Su Xue smiled and said, "I was so excited! My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed. I jumped around in place several times, almost dancing to disco music, and then I went home feeling really happy. I'm sure the little hickeys on Yueyue's body were planted by Lele."

After hearing everything, Tang Junyao understood. She couldn't help but praise her best friend's perseverance in investigating the truth, giving her a thumbs up. "Big sister, it's such a waste that you're not a spies."

"I only brought bread and milk with me that day. I didn't dare leave that corner, afraid that I would miss the truth while eating."

Tang Junyao guessed that when Su Xue mentioned the camera went black for a moment, it was probably because Lele was tampering with the surveillance video. This child is really... No wonder Lu Jinnan had suspicions but couldn't find any evidence, and they were all eliminated.

Guoguo suddenly wondered if Xiaoyu, Hanhan, and Ji Hancheng would beat people up like Xiaonan did if it were Xiaoyu today.

Tang Junyao answered very confidently, "No, Xiaoyu, Hanhan, and Lele have never had bodyguards since they were little. It was only after the mercenary incident that we stopped following the children's wishes. He dotes on his two daughters, but he respects their wishes. For example, you all know what being a special forces soldier means, and he agreed to that, didn't he? However, he is someone who prepares in advance. If he finds out that Xiaoyu is dating, he will secretly investigate whether the boy is reliable or not, and in the end, he will set a trap for Xiaoyu to see the truth about his character."

The couple's idea stemmed from the lessons learned from Guoguo's incident. Both Ji Hancheng and Tang Junyao knew that Guoguo had attempted suicide, so they would never allow such a thing to happen to Xiaoyu and Hanhan. While doting on his children, Ji Hancheng also chose to respect their thoughts.

When Hanhan was sent abroad, others didn't know, but Tang Junyao did. Ji Hancheng suffered from insomnia every night, but he couldn't bring Hanhan back. When she returned from abroad, this grown-up hid in the study looking at photos and crying.

Hanhan and Xiaoyu have different personalities than Yueyue. They both like freedom and have a strong sense of self. You can be gentle and let the children discover and solve problems on their own, but you can't interfere or do everything for them.

It would be off-putting. How could a girl who likes motorcycles possibly like being restrained, locked up, or stared at?

Guoguo nodded in agreement, "I agree. Everyone in the capital knows that Ji Hancheng has never hit Hanhan and Xiaoyu. He spoils them without any limits. Sending Hanhan to join the army is indeed beyond our expectations."

Tang Junyao: "Hanhan is stubborn. Once she makes up her mind, nothing can change it. Xiaoyu is similar. So you have to let them experience it before they know whether it's suitable for them or not. Forcing them to make a choice will backfire."

Su Xue shook her head and sighed. This was the first time she had heard her best friend say these things. "I didn't expect Old Ji to be so good at raising children. Educating a child also requires him to be a director and set up a scheme. It really proves the saying that raising children is easy, but raising them is difficult."

"Would you believe me if I told you that ever since we remarried, he's been reading books like this every day?"

Guoguo: "He's trying to steal my job."

Su Xue patted Guo Guo on the shoulder, "Big sister, he's a parenting expert, not a doctor. You two aren't in the same profession, so your job is very secure."

The three of them sat in the coffee shop for almost two hours, until they were so full from drinking that they couldn't eat dinner, and then they left.

As she was leaving, Su Xue reminded her best friend to take photos again, as she was planning to go back and comfort Xiao Nan. Tang Junyao nodded and said she would try her best.

Su Xue wanted Lele to drop the "godmother" part of her name, but Tang Junyao said that Xiao Nan had to agree.

When Han Guoguo called Su Yu to ask him to come back, he didn't leave. Instead, he parked his car in the coffee shop's parking lot. Only after Guoguo came out of the coffee shop did he text her to say that he was waiting in the parking lot.

In the car, Han Guoguo shared the whole story in detail, and also recounted Ji Hancheng's parenting philosophy.

After listening to everything, Su Yu felt that Ji Hancheng was right. While driving, he replied, "Ji Hancheng's method is not wrong, but he is constantly trying. There are always unsuitable parenting methods that follow the book. Not every framework can be applied to everyone. Different personalities require different parenting styles. It's like cold medicine; some people take it and see immediate results, while others may not absorb it at all and may even experience side effects."

Guoguo tilted her head, thinking that Su Yu could always be so calm, and what he said made a lot of sense, and his metaphors were particularly vivid. "Honey, I think you talk like you're singing. You speak so well."

Su Yu: "..........."

Guoguo waved her hand with a grin, "I won't disturb you from continuing. I love listening to you. I love it when you talk."

After saying that, Han Guoguo blew Su Yu a kiss and gave him a flirty wink.

This almost caused Su Yu to cross the solid line.

Seeing Guoguo's adoring and expectant gaze, Su Yu smiled helplessly. "Actually, Yaoyao is right. Yueyue, Hanhan, and Xiaoyu have different personalities. Hanhan and Xiaoyu are more strong-willed, but Yueyue has a resilience and stubbornness beneath her gentleness. Lu Jinnan's assessment of Yueyue is correct, but his methods might subconsciously lead Yueyue to lie..."

Han Guoguo couldn't help but interrupt, asking, "Why?"

Su Yu was worried that his explanation might be too complex for Guo Guo to understand, so he came up with a simple analogy and explained gently, "It's like taking an exam. Your parents set a high score for the first exam, for example, you must get 100 points, and they keep nagging you about it. Then one day you only get 60 points, which is 40 points short of 100. Would you be willing to tell your parents that you did poorly? Or would you plan to keep working hard and hand in the paper when you reach your parents' expectations?"

After Su Yu's analysis, Guoguo seemed to understand. She rested her head on her hand and said, "Hmm...you mean Lu Jinnan is 100 points away from being the richest man, and Lele is 40 points away from being the richest man. Yueyue doesn't dare to give Lele's test paper to Jinnan, and then she works hard with Lele in private to reach 100 points? That seems to make sense."

Su Yu: "Actually, both of them are at fault. Yueyue and Lele were wrong to hide things, while Jinnan was wrong to keep talking about the standards for a son-in-law, which put pressure on her. Yueyue already had someone in her heart, and hearing it so often made her feel more guilty and more likely to lie. She would also subconsciously compare the scores that Lele and Jinnan set."

"It's like when a child does something wrong, they subconsciously think about hiding it and how to avoid being scolded. Then they secretly think of ways to make amends. By the time their parents find out, they've already made amends and won't get scolded. Many children behave this way, like Can Can, who will never admit her mistakes."

Su Yu also wants to say that a doctor cannot heal himself. He is constantly changing his strategies in the education of his four children, as they are all experiencing being children and parents for the first time.

Who can be perfect every time? It's said that behind every successful child is a good parent, but who knows how these parents managed to make their child successful? Was it success from the very beginning? Was it success in everything they did?

Guoguo genuinely appreciates Su Yu's reasoning. Su Yu used to be a man of few words, but since they had more children, he always tries to communicate with her, using the simplest analogies to explain what's wrong. "Honey, you're amazing! I love you! Now we don't have to worry about our daughter being taken away by a philanderer anymore. My only worry is having too many daughters-in-law. What if Can Can is a scumbag and I can't even remember my future daughter-in-law?"

Su Yu always seems to miss Guo Guo's train of thought. Even after so many years of marriage, there are still times when he can't connect with her. For example, right now, one second they were talking about one topic, and the next they've completely changed the subject to Can Can becoming a scumbag.

In fact, Su Yu had already advised Lu Jinnan to relax a bit, but Lu Jinnan retorted, saying, "You four guys don't understand the feelings of having a daughter."

Given that Su Yu doesn't have a daughter, it's difficult to speak to him. However, Su Yu does have Guo Guo, who has a shameful past. If he had a daughter, he would be like Ji Hancheng, respecting her wishes and communicating with her. He wouldn't put too much pressure on her, but would ask her what her goals are. If they are not right, he would help her analyze the situation.

Su Yu thought to himself, but didn't say it out loud. He would never mention this past event in front of Guo Guo again. He was not destined to have a daughter, and even if he wanted to favor girls over boys, he wouldn't have the chance.
