Chapter 334: Knowledge is Power

Zhang Yi had a sharp tongue but didn't want her daughter to be unhappy. Ever since Xiao'ai moved out, she felt an overwhelming emptiness in her heart, missing someone she could confide in.

Guo Jinchen kept Yu Zhenghong company and chatted about everything—national affairs, housing prices, stocks, literature. He found common ground with Professor Yu on every topic, and their views aligned naturally, making Yu Zhenghong quite happy. He drank a lot and his conversation grew more animated, bridging the gap between them.

"Look at your dad. His stance is so unsteady. Say something he likes, and he's no longer stiff-faced, grinning like a fool," Zhang Yi remarked.

Yu Xiao'ai laughed as she watched the two of them chat. "Mom, look how happy Dad is. Clearly, he and Jinchen can connect really well. Imagine, Guo Jinchen even read *Dream of the Red Chamber*! That's unexpected for Mr. Guo!"

"Xiao'ai, are you comfortable sharing a place with your coworkers?" Zhang Yi asked with concern.
