Chapter 417: Chapter 416: Everyone’s Taller

When Xie Yuanzhou was mentioned, Wei Zhirong’s face was full of frustration. "Actually, it’s not fair to say he’s unsociable. Xie Yuanzhou has always been indifferent to people. I just like him. Even if he doesn’t like me, I can’t blame him. These things can’t be forced."

Seeing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but say, "You still speak for him. Well, I won’t talk about him. If you’re tired, don’t force yourself. You’re such a great girl; surely you’ll find someone who truly cares for you."

"Yiyi, I know. Thank you."

After chatting for a while, Wei Zhirong went back home.

"Has Zhirong gone home?"

Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but ask when she saw her daughter returning after sending Zhirong off.

Yiyi nodded and said, "Yes, Zhirong went home. She happened to be off today, but as soon as she got home, she heard about Uncle Wei’s incident and immediately came to school to find me."

"This kid is just too genuine. Obviously, it’s none of her business, yet she insisted on coming to apologize to me. But Zhirong is truly a wonderful girl: bright, graceful, and with a great personality. I wonder which lucky man will get to marry her in the future."

Hearing her mother’s words, Yiyi couldn’t help but shake her head, "Sigh... It’s a pity someone doesn’t understand her goodness."

Ding Yuejun asked curiously, "What’s going on?"

Yiyi then recounted the story between Wei Zhirong and Xie Yuanzhou, finally saying, "I wonder if these two will have a result in the future."

"Sigh... Zhirong is so persistent. I hope she gets what she wishes for."

The mother and daughter then talked about other matters and each went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Gu Tingyu came early. When Yiyi saw him, her face was full of smiles, "Tingyu, you’re here."

Seeing the young girl’s face full of smiles, Gu Tingyu’s eyes were also full of mirth. He then took her hand and walked inside. But remembering things he heard upon returning, he couldn’t help but ask, "Aunt Ding didn’t suffer any grievance this time, right? Is there anything we need to help with?" Although things had been settled, Ding Yuejun was after all calculated against, and if possible, they could still press the Wei Family a bit and clear out those involved.

Yiyi shook her head with a smile and said, "Don’t worry. My mom is fine. She’s always had Xiao Wu and the others with her."

Seeing Yiyi’s relaxed expression, Gu Tingyu knew Aunt Ding truly hadn’t suffered any loss this time. "That’s good." He then talked about other matters, "This morning, before I left the house, Grandma called me to have lunch together with you. Do you have any plans for noon?"

Yiyi shook her head and said, "No plans. We can go visit Grandpa and Grandma together later."

Old Master Ding and Ding Yuejun were quite pleased to see Gu Tingyu arrive. The young man would invariably check in with the family first whenever he was free, showing his affection for Yiyi.

"Tingyu, you haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? Come on, sit down. We’re just about to start."

After everyone finished breakfast, Yiyi talked about having lunch at the Gu Family’s elder house. Ding Yuejun, hearing this, smiled and said, "When you go, buy something yummy for the elders."

Yiyi naturally nodded with a smile.

After sitting for a while, the two set off to Old Mrs. Gu’s place.

Old Mrs. Gu saw them come and quickly invited them inside with a smile, "Yiyi, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you. You’re getting more and more beautiful."

Hearing Old Mrs. Gu’s praise, Yiyi felt a bit embarrassed, "Thank you, Grandma. Maybe it’s because I’ve grown a bit taller recently, so I look a bit more stately."

"Now that you mention it, I hadn’t noticed before. But indeed, it seems you’ve grown a bit taller."

Yiyi smiled and said, "Yeah, I’ve really grown taller—two centimeters even." She realized it only last night, and was surprised she could still grow at this age. It must be the effects of the Height Increasing Pills she took before. She thought the pills wouldn’t work, but unexpectedly, she got some results.

Gu Tingyu looked at Yiyi curiously and said, "I feel like there’s no noticeable change. You were already this tall the last time we met."

Old Mrs. Gu smiled beside them, "That’s because you and Yiyi see each other often, so you didn’t notice. I saw her abruptly today, so I could tell the difference." She then spoke about the lunch plans, "Your parents and Second Uncle and Aunt will come over this noon, and we’ll have a lively family meal."

"Are my parents and Second Uncle and Aunt coming? What about Tinghao and the others?"

Gu Tingyu hadn’t expected there would be so many people for lunch.

Old Mrs. Gu replied, "Tinghao and Tingting will also be coming." She was worried Yiyi might mind, so she quickly added, "Yiyi, don’t worry. Tingting has changed a lot and won’t speak thoughtlessly anymore."

"Grandma, I know. Tingting already changed a lot before."

Ever since she returned to the Ding Family, Gu Tingting’s attitude indeed changed a lot, so Yiyi wasn’t concerned.

"It’s good you don’t mind."

Old Mrs. Gu chuckled and then asked about the couple’s recent status.

The three chatted lively, and soon more guests arrived—it was Second Uncle Gu’s family.

Zhuang Caixin saw Yiyi was already there and quickly walked up with a smile, "Yiyi, you’re here! I see you’re getting more and more beautiful. Our Tingyu is so lucky to have a fiancée like you."

Seeing Zhuang Caixin so enthusiastic, Yiyi also smiled and greeted her.

Beside her, Gu Tingting, regardless of her true feelings, also displayed a full smile while chatting with Yiyi.

And Yiyi was somewhat surprised to notice that Gu Tingting had grown significantly.

Not only did Yiyi notice, but everyone else did too. Old Mrs. Gu exclaimed in surprise, "Tingting, you’ve grown a lot taller recently!"

Talking about this, Gu Tingting’s face was full of smiles, "Yes, I’ve grown six centimeters lately, and it’s made me dress much more stylishly."

Zhuang Caixin, feeling proud, added beside her, "Our Tingting is becoming prettier and more confident."

Old Mrs. Gu was quite amazed, "I didn’t expect both of you to grow taller, becoming increasingly attractive."

"Grandma, who else grew taller?" Gu Tingting asked curiously.

Old Mrs. Gu chuckled and said, "Yiyi also grew two centimeters."

Hearing this, Gu Tingting glanced at Yiyi but didn’t think much of it. Yiyi didn’t grow much, and if not for Grandma mentioning it, she wouldn’t have noticed at all. After all, she grew a whole six centimeters, making her feel a bit smug.

"Did you eat anything recently?"

Curious about this, Yiyi couldn’t help but ask.
