Meng Nianyao snorted, but didn’t continue the topic; after all, there was no point in asking questions between a man and a woman. They might even start arguing instead.

The next day, on Sunday, Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao woke up and returned to the old mansion to see Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu.

The sun was shining brightly today. Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng had planned to take Grandma and Grandpa Gu out, but when they arrived at the Gu Mansion, they found that Gu Wencheng’s parents were also there.

The atmosphere in the living room was very frigid. Gu Wencheng’s face turned cold when he saw them. Meng Nianyao glanced at him and squeezed his hand a little harder. Then, she smiled and greeted Lin Ping and Gu Guanping. “Uncle, Auntie.”

Gu Guanping’s attitude towards Meng Nianyao had always been lukewarm, so when Meng Nianyao called out to him, he responded. On the other hand, Lin Ping’s words that day had clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with Meng Nianyao, so there was no need to bother pretending to maintain this relationship.

Grandma Gu frowned. She was about to ask them to leave when Lin Ping said, “Mom, I know you don’t like me, but please understand that I’m a mother. Everything I do is for my son. I hope that his life will be peaceful and smooth. I hope that the other half he finds is innocent so that even if they can’t provide him with any help, they won’t drag him down and become a burden for him for the rest of his life. I hope that he won’t be ridiculed by outsiders.”

Lin Ping’s words made Meng Nianyao’s face turn pale.

“Lin Ping, I can understand you, but who can understand Gu Wencheng?” Grandma Gu asked. For so many years, you and Gu Guanping have left Wencheng alone at home for the sake of your career and missed out on all his growth stages. Although you are his parents, ask yourself, are you worthy of being his parents? Now you want me to understand you. You haven’t even fulfilled your responsibility as a mother. Now that Wencheng is an adult, you keep saying that everything is for his own good. Don’t you think you’re hypocritical?”

Lin Ping’s expression also began to turn ugly. Because Grandma Gu was telling the truth, she could not refute it.

“Wencheng, Nianyao, come here.” Grandma Gu waved at Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao.

Meng Nianyao hesitated for a moment. Gu Wencheng pulled her hand and walked over. Grandma Gu took Meng Nianyao’s hand and continued, “Nianyao is a good girl. Although she was married once, she was innocent. It was your son who ruined her innocence. Since you know that Nianyao was married, you should know what kind of person her ex-husband was. Nianyao was not at fault. Lin Ping, you’ve been educated for so many years. You should understand these things by now.”

Lin Ping’s face turned red from Grandma Gu’s words. She pursed her lips and remained silent.

Grandma Gu sighed and did not push too hard. “Lin Ping, the Gu family has always been biased. We have never asked Wencheng to find someone of equal status. You are his mother, and I am also his mother. I understand how you feel, but you also know what kind of personality Wencheng has. If he has chosen someone, what’s the point of disagreeing with him?”

This sentence pierced Lin Ping’s heart. She hadn’t been with Gu Wencheng much over the years, but she knew his character well. He would never change his mind, otherwise he wouldn’t have cut off contact with them for eight years because they disagreed with his university major when he was eighteen.

Lin Ping looked at Meng Nianyao and then at the cold-faced Gu Wencheng, and her fingers clenched tightly. She was a mother, so she naturally wanted her child to be happy and successful. However, Meng Nianyao…

Lin Ping was very conflicted. She couldn’t accept Meng Nianyao, but she also didn’t want Gu Wencheng to hate them.

Grandma Gu could see that Lin Ping was wavering. She softened her tone and said, “Let’s eat first.” With that, she pulled Meng Nianyao to the dining room.

Meng Nianyao didn’t say anything. Every word Lin Ping said made her feel embarrassed. She even wanted to escape, but couldn’t. Grandma Gu had been protecting her.

Meng Nianyao turned around and saw Lin Ping talking to Gu Wencheng. Gu Wencheng ignored his mother coldly.

Meng Nianyao had no relatives, let alone her parents, so she was actually very envious of Gu Wencheng. He had grandparents who loved him so much and parents. Although his mother and father weren’t very competent, they were still considerate of him. Meng Nianyao didn’t know if it was because she had lost the love of her family since she was young, but she didn’t want Gu Wencheng to fall out with his parents because of her.

“Grandma, I want to talk to Uncle and Auntie,” Meng Nianyao said softly..
