Grandma and Grandpa Gu looked at each other and nodded.

Meng Nianyao walked to Gu Wencheng’s side and held his hand. “Auntie, I know you’re not satisfied with me, but I want a chance to prove myself.” I know that my past life experience is not glorious, but only through experience can one grow up. I promise that I will not become a burden to Gu Wencheng and will not let Gu Wencheng be laughed at because he is with me. I don’t need Gu Wencheng’s protection, I will walk side by side with him.”

Meng Nianyao’s tone was very sincere. She didn’t try to excuse her past, nor did she look aggrieved from being misunderstood. Her tone was calm and amiable.

Lin Ping looked at Meng Nianyao and didn’t say anything. She had a grudge against Meng Nianyao. This grudge was like a tree that had taken root and couldn’t be removed.

“How long do you think you need to do what you said? How long will it take for you to meet my standards for a daughter-in-law?” Lin Ping mocked.

Gu Wencheng sneered and was about to speak when Meng Nianyao suddenly said, “Maybe not in my lifetime, but I will always work hard.”

“So you’re giving me a blank check? You can’t do anything, and yet you say you can guarantee this?”

Meng Nianyao pursed her lips.

“Alright, you’re unhappy that others can’t guarantee you, yet you’re picky when they do.” Gu Guanping said. They had investigated Meng Nianyao’s background and learned some things. They also understood Meng Nianyao’s personality. If she hadn’t met such an ex-husband and mother-in-law, Meng Nianyao would have been a very good wife.

Gu Guanping looked at Meng Nianyao and said, “A promise is a promise. What you do is what you do. We’ll wait for your proof.”

Meng Nianyao was delighted.

Gu Guanping spoke again. “You should also understand Lin Ping’s point of view. She just loves Gu Wencheng too much and wants him to be better. You will understand this when you become a mother.”

“I understand, Uncle.” Meng Nianyao nodded.

Gu Guanping nodded. “Let’s go eat. I want to talk to your aunt.”

“Alright.” Meng Nianyao glanced at Gu Wencheng and found that his eyes were full of mockery, directed at Gu Guanping. She couldn’t interfere in the matters between the father and son, so she could only take Gu Wencheng to the dining room.

Gu Guanping pulled Lin Ping to the back garden. Lin Ping struggled all the way. Her face was extremely ugly. She flung Gu Guanping’s hand away and looked at him as if he was her enemy. “Gu Guanping! Are you going to disregard Wencheng’s happiness for the rest of his life just to be filial to your parents? I don’t agree with them! I don’t agree to Meng Nianyao becoming Gu Wencheng’s wife! Even if Wencheng hates me for the rest of his life, I won’t allow them to be together!”

“Yes, you don’t agree, but what can you do? They’re already married!” Gu Guanping lowered his voice.

In the end, Gu Guanping and Lin Ping did not stay for dinner. After they left, the atmosphere was still depressing.

Grandma Gu was usually the most open-minded person, but at this time, she was frowning and was clearly in a bad mood. Grandpa Gu patted her shoulder and called Gu Wencheng to the study. After they left, Meng Nianyao poured a cup of hot tea for Grandma Gu.

“You’ve been wronged,” Grandma Gu said as she held Meng Nianyao’s hand.

Meng Nianyao grew up in an orphanage and had suffered a lot. After marrying Meng Haotian, she was bullied by her mother and mistress. Therefore, she didn’t consider Lin Ping’s attitude towards her to be particularly egregious. She was just a little sad.

Meng Nianyao shook her head. “Grandma Gu, I don’t feel wronged. I understand Auntie’s point of view; although what she said was unpleasant, it was the truth. I couldn’t deny it, nor did I have the right to feel wronged. That was my experience. I don’t know her well, either.”

Grandma Gu patted the back of Meng Nianyao’s hand, her heart aching.

Originally, Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao had planned to stay at the old mansion for dinner, but Gu Wencheng had received a call from Ping Yang, so he had to leave first as he had a meeting to attend. Meng Nianyao wanted to go home, but Gu Wencheng asked her to accompany him to the company.

After arriving at the company, Meng Nianyao went to the office to wait. She waited and waited, but Gu Wencheng still didn’t returned, so she went to the lounge to lie down.

At half past one in the morning, Meng Nianyao was still in a daze when she heard a noise outside and climbed out of bed.

Outside the door, Gu Wencheng was talking to Ping Yang. Meng Nianyao leaned against the door and didn’t go out, instead waiting for Ping Yang to leave before doing so.

Gu Wencheng’s office had everything, just like an apartment. Meng Nianyao had taken a shower before going to bed and was wearing the shirt he had left in the office and his slippers..
