all the clothes were custom ordered from Manxiu Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this circumstance, she did not forget to promote her own business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handkerchiefs were something girls of this era all needed to have on hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various hair accessories were also necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was going to stand out through her abilities, not being eccentric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others were all wearing makeup;

surely you will also be a person of good fortune.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adjusted his clothes and said, “I am in a hurry to go to the Ministry of Personnel, so I will not talk more with Doctor Gu now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When my daughter returns to the Jie Residence, you must come and visit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou nodded and said, “Thank you, Lord Jie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jie Huanzhi passed by Gu Youyou, the old man’s stooped back in the cold wind looked even more worn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou could not bear it and called him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Jie, please wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jie Huanzhi stopped and said, “Doctor Gu, is there anything else?”\u003C\u002Fp>",717,"2026-06-06T06:55:01.727Z",1,"novelbin.me","64ece5e02a7f85be84d80fdfad1fe952f26d7aabdc5277c5032eba5f18064521","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-959","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-957",1812,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
