Huo Jinnan’s brows furrowed, "I’ll try, whether Grandpa will get involved or not is hard to say."

He always felt that his sister was in no way unsuitable for Huo Jinnan, and Huo Jinnan’s attitude made him very uncomfortable!

Gu Yunping looked at Huo Jinnan with a mix of gratitude and reluctance, his voice full of complex emotions, "Jinnan, thank you. She is my only sister. I also hope she can lead a good life, and from now on, I promise she won’t cling to you or bother Xiaowei anymore. I’ll arrange a suitable marriage for her as soon as possible."

"Brother-in-law, take care; no need to see you out," Huo Jinnan turned and locked the car door.

Gu Yunping stood there awkwardly, having waited so long without even being invited in, let alone offered a drink. Thinking of Huo Jinnan’s usual indifference and his reserved demeanor towards everyone in the Huo Family, Gu Yunping felt much more relieved, "Your sister is waiting for me to have dinner, so I’ll head back first."

Huo Jinnan uttered a sound in acknowledgment but did not see Gu Yunping off, heading straight into the villa.

Getting into his car, Gu Yunping looked back at Huo Jinnan’s retreating figure. The Huo Family had always been proud, but Huo Jinnan was different, unlike Jinbei and Jinxue in temperament. He wondered if he had misperceived or if Huo Jinnan really had an unknown side to him.

It was said that during his time in the military, he was a legendary figure.

The old man had his heart set on grooming him for a prominent position; he should have had a limitless future. Yet, five years ago, he suddenly retired and started living a simple, leisurely life, going on road trips and taking photos...

Upon his return to Hongcheng, he mostly spent his time secluded in the darkroom, rarely interacting with others.

He had also heard that the military had been hoping for Huo Jinnan’s return, having approached him many times, only to be gracefully turned down each time, which greatly vexed the old man.

Even though Jinnan now held no official status, the ever-proud Jinyun still wouldn’t dare to slight her brother in the slightest, always sensing there was something more to him.

When he returned to the Gu Family, he couldn’t stop thinking about why Huo Jinnan had abruptly retired.

Huo Jinyun saw Gu Yunping enter, "Did Anan agree?"

Gu Yunping took off his coat, "He agreed."

That was easier than expected!

Huo Jinyun frowned slightly, "Go wash up, it’s time for dinner."

After washing his hands, Gu Yunping sat at the dining table, "By the way, why did Jinnan suddenly retire back then?"

Huo Jinyun gave Gu Yunping a strange look, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"Just curious," Gu Yunping picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"The matters of the military are not something Grandpa would talk about with me, so I don’t know," Huo Jinyun glanced at Gu Yunping before looking away, reminded of how the incident with Yunqing had led him to have certain opinions about the Huo Family, "Since Jinnan has agreed, don’t worry about Yunqing. Once she’s out, just give her some advice, and tell her to be more mindful of her actions in the future."

Gu Yunping responded with a hum, "I know, once Yunqing is released, I’ll arrange for her to meet potential suitors."

Huo Jinyun listened but said nothing, originally having hoped Yunqing would marry into the Huo Family. However, with what had happened, Grandpa was undoubtedly aware, and with his personality, there was no possibility left.

She also didn’t want any further estrangement between Gu Yunping and Anan because of Gu Yunqing. It seemed it was time for Grandpa to find Anan a new fiancée.

But this time, they had to be more deliberate and avoid the unpleasant experiences of the last attempt.

As she ate, she thought about the eligible daughters of stature and beauty in Hongcheng.
