"Is Lingling okay?" Zhao Jingmiao asked worriedly, "We just heard about her accident."

Hao Lianlian and Zhao Xuefei weren’t in the same department as Gu Lingling, and when Gu Lingling left the courtyard that day, she had mentioned she wouldn’t return for a while.

So Zhao Jingmiao didn’t think in that direction.

It was Hao Lianlian who went to Gu Lingling’s dormitory to find her, only to be told she was on extended leave.

Hao Lianlian was worried and went to ask Zhao Xuefei, but Zhao Xuefei didn’t know either.

The two then ran to the courtyard to find Gu Lingling, only to discover she wasn’t there either, and they panicked.

Fortunately, Zhao Jingmiao remembered the address and phone number Gu Lingling had given her before leaving. She called and a nanny answered, informing her, as Lingling’s cousin, that Gu Lingling was injured.

But they didn’t say how she got injured or how serious it was.

"It’s nothing major, just a cut and a few stitches," Su Ziqiao said, "Come on, she’s waiting for you at home."

"By the way, I’m Lingling’s third cousin, Su Ziqiao," Su Ziqiao introduced himself.

How did Gu Lingling suddenly become part of the Su Family?

Zhao Jingmiao wanted to ask, opened her mouth, but didn’t say anything in the end.

They could ask Lingling when they saw her.

Gu Lingling was already waiting downstairs, originally wanting to go to the yard, but Yang Yunhai didn’t let her because the temperature dropped and it was windy outside.

"Sister Jingmiao, Lianlian, Xuefei, you’re here." Seeing the three of them, Gu Lingling happily welcomed them to sit down, and Su Changsheng also came downstairs.

That day, they only met briefly at Yang Yunhai’s place, and upon hearing Gu Lingling talk about Zhao Jingmiao working hard in the Capital City, Su Changsheng was impressed by this young lady.

Now, seeing Hao Lianlian and Zhao Xuefei, both of whom entered Kyoto University through their own efforts, he was even happier.

Older people like to see younger generations striving forward.

Plus, one was a childhood friend growing up with his own girl, while the other two were cousins, all considered family, making him even more joyful.

Zhao Jingmiao felt assured seeing the Su Family and Yang Yunhai being so attentive to Gu Lingling.

Hao Lianlian herself was an orphan, abandoned at the transformer factory gate, and was raised by Grandpa Hao. She was good at chatting with elderly people, quickly bringing joy to Mr. Su.

Although she had a cleft lip and felt a bit self-conscious when she first entered Kyoto University, she became more confident as her academic performance improved.

The more Hao Lianlian learned, the more she understood one truth: one’s abilities determine one’s heights, and her cleft lip didn’t prevent her from becoming a top student.

True friends wouldn’t mind one’s appearance, and those mocking her cleft lip weren’t worth befriending.

Thus, since arriving in the Capital City, she underwent significant changes. Working on weekends to earn money and working at the library during weekdays kept her busy, leaving no room for self-pity.

When Fu Ling entered, she immediately saw the cheerful young girl chatting with her family’s elderly on the sofa.

Especially since the girl had clear eyes similar to her family’s Lingling, Fu Ling instantly liked her.

Oh, if only she could be her daughter-in-law.

Su Encai felt like his wife was a bit obsessed now.

Ever since Lingling returned home, whenever she saw a girl, her eyes lit up with hope of making them her son’s wife.

Now, seeing a well-behaved girl at home, this tendency emerged again.
