Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Brother Wencheng!” Yin Qiqi saw Gu Wencheng and quickly got up from the sofa. Her voice was filled with joy, as if she was afraid that everyone wouldn’t know that she still liked him and had not given up on him.

Gu Wencheng nodded and went straight to the kitchen to find Meng Nianyao.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Yin Qiqi’s eyes. She sat back on the sofa and continued to talk to Lin Ping.

In the kitchen, Gu Wencheng touched Meng Nianyao’s hair. “Don’t mind her. She comes every year.”

Meng Nianyao smiled.

“I’m going upstairs to change my clothes and then I’ll take you somewhere.”

Meng Nianyao was about to ask where they were going when Gu Wencheng turned around and left.

Brother Wencheng is still so handsome.” Yin Qiqi’s eyes were fixed on Gu Wencheng, staring at him without moving.

Meng Nianyao had a smile on her face and pretended not to hear Yin Qiqi’s words. There were guests at home, so she couldn’t stay in the house forever. She made a few glasses of juice in the kitchen and brought them to the table.

Yin Qiqi pretended to have just seen Meng Nianyao and shouted in surprise, “Miss Meng, when did you arrive?” Her face was filled with shock, as if Meng Nianyao wasn’t supposed to be here.

Meng Nianyao still had a faint smile on her face. Yin Qiqi reached out to take the fruit juice from Meng Nianyao’s hand. Just as Meng Nianyao was about to let go, Yin Qiqi suddenly shouted, “Ah! It’s so cold!”

The glass fell onto the carpet, and the juice splashed out onto Yin Qiqi’s feet.” I’m sorry, Miss Meng.” Yin Qiqi jumped up in shock and apologized hurriedly. “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

“It’s fine.” “Just let the servants clean it up,” Lin Ping said.

Meng Nianyao stood by the side without moving or saying a word. Yin Qiqi had done it on purpose. The juice was freshly squeezed and was at room temperature. There was no way it could be cold.

“Qiqi and the others just came in from outside. Why didn’t you pour some hot water for them?” Lin Ping said to Meng Nianyao in dissatisfaction, “Pass me the tissue. You can’t even do such a small thing? You’re worse than the servants at home. You’re a hindrance and only know how to cause trouble.”

Gu Wencheng changed his clothes and frowned when he heard Lin Ping’s words.

“Qiqi didn’t hold it properly. Don’t blame Miss Meng.” Mother Yin saw Gu Wencheng coming downstairs from the corner of her eye and quickly acted as a peacemaker.

Yin Qiqi also acted like she was sensible. She said to Lin Ping,” Yes, Auntie. It’s my fault. It has nothing to do with Miss Meng.”

” It’s her fault,” Lin Ping said with a straight face. “You don’t have to speak up for her.”

“What did Nianyao do wrong? Tell me.” Gu Wencheng came down from upstairs, his tone very cold. He knew that Lin Ping didn’t like Meng Nianyao, but Nianyao didn’t need her favor, either; it was fine as long as the two of them could live in harmony. Besides, Lin Ping only stayed at home for a few days a year.

But now, Lin Ping had criticized Meng Nianyao in front of outsiders.

Meng Nianyao looked up at Gu Wencheng. He stood in front of her, holding her hand. He glanced at Lin Ping.” I didn’t marry Nianyao to make her a servant.” He glanced at the fruit juice on the coffee table and sneered. “She’s kind and has the courtesy to treat the guests. She’s not someone you can criticize just because she gave the guests fruit juice. If you want to drink anything else, go pester a servant by yourself.”

After a pause, Gu Wencheng stared into Lin Ping’s eyes and said, “Nianyao is your daughter-in-law, but you have to know that she’s not the only daughter-in-law in this family. You’re also a daughter-in-law of the Gu family. Don’t put on airs and order others around the moment you return home. You’re not qualified to do so.”

Meng Nianyao pulled Gu Wencheng’s hand and signaled him to stop talking.

Lin Ping’s face turned pale.

Gu Wencheng glanced at Meng Nianyao and pulled her out.

“Brother Wencheng, Brother Wencheng…!” Yin Qiqi shouted a few times. She looked anxiously in Gu Wencheng’s direction and then turned back to stare at Lin Ping. “Auntie, Brother Gu Wencheng was just saying something out of anger. Please don’t take it to heart.”

“I’m fine.” Lin Ping suppressed her anger and shook her head.

“Where are we going?” Meng Nianyao felt that Gu Wencheng was unhappy, but where should she go during the New Year? Not only that, it was almost time for lunch.

Gu Wencheng opened the car door, and Meng Nianyao had no choice but to get in. The car door closed and her eyes followed Gu Wencheng. When she saw him enter the car, she was about to ask again when Gu Wencheng said, “If she targets you again in the future, don’t just stand there and listen to her.”

“Is that why your face is so sour?” Meng Nianyao laughed. She already knew that Lin Ping was not satisfied with her, so she did not care too much about it.

“Yes.” Gu Wencheng nodded and fastened his seatbelt. “I’m taking you to Su Han and the others..”
