Mr. Du glanced around the room and said loudly, "Gu Qing, Yanyan, call your senior and second senior brothers later and tell them to come back with their families by noon tomorrow for a meal together."
Shen Guqing and Xinyan exchanged a smile and said in unison, "Understood, Master."
Shen Guqing looked at Xinyan, "Let Jinxuan come too so he can meet everyone."
Xinyan shrugged regretfully, "Jinxuan has gone out for a trip. I donât know if he can make it back tomorrow."
Upon hearing Xinyanâs words, Shen Guqing changed his tune, "This time, your fourth senior brother should be staying for a while, and your Sister Lingyun wonât leave soon either, so he will definitely make it."
Xinyan nodded with a smile, "Okay."
With Lingyun and her son here today, Xinyan thought she could take a lazy day.
But just as she had this thought, she heard Mr. Du clearing his throat: "Xinyan, what time is it?"
Xinyan looked at the wall clock, intending to say she was accompanying Sister Lingyun today, when she saw her master glaring at her: "Our time is limited, so donât even think about it."
Shen Guqing, knowing their masterâs temperament, gave Xinyan a look: "Hurry up and go."
Xinyan could only pinch little Xuanxuanâs cheek and head into the study.
Du Lingyun watched as Mr. Du followed into the study: "Dad is as strict as ever, treating everyone equally without exception."
Shen Guqing chuckled lightly: "Thatâs what makes Master so charismatic. He has his principles when it comes to teaching medicine."
The mistress chimed in at this point: "Heâs just an old stubborn man."
Shen Guqing laughed and wrapped his arm around Masterâs shoulder: "Madam, if Master hears you saying that, he might argue with you again."
Madam Cheng Liying patted Shen Guqingâs hand with a laugh: "So we should keep it from him, to save yet another argument."
Everyone in the room burst into laughter at this.

Meanwhile, He Jinxuan arrived at the delivery location and instructed the two passengers to get off the vehicle: "Weâve arrived, we can only drop you off here."
However, after getting off, the two passengers couldnât distinguish north from south, east, or west.
The woman looked around for a long time and said, "This isnât good, we donât even know where this is."
Her companion was also confused, "Captain He, this is indeed our first time here. We donât have any clue about this place. Could you take us there, please?"
The driver Xiao Zhao couldnât hold back anymore: "Youâre really something. If you canât find your hometown folks, are you expecting us to help settle you in?"
He Jinxuanâs face turned serious, "We have plenty of things to do, no time to take you there."
Xiao Zhao, growing impatient, said, "You can hire a pedicab to take you there. No point in bothering us."
He Jinxuan had his own tasks to attend to, this batch of goods had to be unloaded quickly, he didnât have time to waste with them here.
He turned and walked towards the warehouse, preparing to connect with the person in charge about the delivery documents.
Originally, with Xinyanâs mother returning to the country, he felt the pressure. Now that Xinyan has opened her own shop, he decided to advance his own plans.
This time, he came with a purpose.
The transport company had already arranged for the return cargo. They would load it and head back, with not much time left for them.
Fortunately, everything went relatively smoothly today. The handover was completed quickly, and they could start unloading.
But when the truck He Jinxuan followed finished unloading, he saw that the couple still hadnât left.
His face darkened, thinking: What, are they trying to take advantage of us?
