Gu Chengze fell silent. "Okay, take your time to digest." With that, he hung up. His mother simply exasperated him.

Gu Chengze was about to return to his work when his phone rang again.

He frowned and stared at the screen, then picked up the phone casually. "What's up? Have you digested the matter of being promoted to mother-in-law?"

After a moment of silence, an aggressive voice came from the other end. "Gu Chengze, right?"

The tone was extremely rude and unreasonable. It was as if the person was out to devour someone!

Gu Chengze was puzzled. He held out his phone and looked at the screen again. It was an unknown number.

"Why are you keeping silent?! Are you finally afraid?!"

"Huh." Gu Chengze chuckled. "Who are you?"

"I'm asking if this is Gu Chengze?! Huh?" The voice on the other end was especially arrogant, clearly like a hooligan.

Gu Chengze asked again, "Who exactly are you?"

The call was quickly passed on. Then, Ye Yuqin's voice was heard.

"Chengze, right?"

"Aunt?" Gu Chengze addressed her the way Bai Sheng did.

"Hold your horses! I haven't acknowledged you as my nephew-in-law yet!" Ye Yuqin said arrogantly, "You wish to acknowledge us as relatives? I've not even agreed to Bai Sheng marrying you!"

"Then why are you calling?"

"Are you at work now?"

"Uh huh."

"Where's your office?"

Almost without hesitation, Gu Chengze gave her the address.

"Shenzhe Building. The elevator goes straight up to the twenty-fifth floor. If you tell them you're looking for me, someone will escort you over."

Gu Chengze "introduced himself" without any hesitation, which surprised Ye Yuqin. Initially, she had thought that when this fellow realized she was looking for trouble, he would admit defeat. On the contrary, he readily gave her his location.

Gu Chengze's ridicule and lack of intention of giving them a betrothal gift infuriated Ye Yuqin. She had already promised a few big bosses that she would introduce Bai Sheng to them.

But how big a deal could these so-called "big bosses" be? They were either families who had become rich overnight because of demolition, or widowers or divorced men, rich but not good-looking.

On this end, Ye Yuqin could not wait any longer. Hence, she found a hired thug from somewhere and was intent on creating trouble for Gu Chengze.

Although as a child, Gu Chengze was naturally dull, he was brought up by his mother and Gu Jinglian, so he had this sort of awareness.

From the phone call, he could vaguely tell that Ye Yuqin had brought a few troublemakers with her. However, it was not that he was not vigilant, but that he was too lazy to be vigilant.

Shenze was his territory. Was he worried that someone would cause trouble in his territory?

Ye Yuqin probably thought he was an ordinary employee and was out to create a scene.

Half an hour later, the woman arrived with someone. She walked into the lobby of Shenze with a burly man. Before she could figure out what was going on, she was escorted into the CEO's office.

When she finally saw Gu Chengze in the reception room, Ye Yuqin looked around and smiled coldly at Gu Chengze. "Hehe, what a surprise that your working environment is rather stylish!"

Gu Chengze sat on the sofa with a slight smile and gestured for them to sit down.

Ye Yuqin's attitude was obviously arrogant. "Where's your boss? Why isn't he here to meet with me?"
