Lin Ping took a deep breath. She was about to say something when Grandma Gu came out after her checkup. Her gaze fell on the two of them.
“Mom.” Lin Ping squeezed out a smile. Gu Guanping also called out. Then, he looked at Lin Ping and temporarily put aside the conversation just now. He said to Grandma Gu, “Mom, my dad and Uncle Nan are almost at the hospital. Let’s go down first.”
Grandma Gu nodded. Lin Ping wanted to help her, but Grandma Gu refused. “Nianyao can accompany me. Aunt Yang still has a lot of things. Help her carry them.”
Lin Ping’s expression turned ugly when Grandma Gu finished speaking. Gu Guanping glanced at her and raised his hand to touch her, signaling her to restrain herself.
Meng Nianyao was embarrassed. She understood that Grandma Gu trying to protect her would only make Lin Ping dislike her even more. “Grandma, 1’11 go and get the things.”
“No need. Just stay with me.” Grandma Gu held Meng Nianyao’s hand and pulled her out.
Lin Ping gritted her teeth. Gu Guanping was not satisfied with her attitude. He lowered his voice.” You should restrain yourself. We can talk about it when we get back.” With that, he walked out.
Lin Ping stood where she was and clenched her fists.
On the way back, Meng Nianyao sat in the same car as Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu. The three of them chatted, and Grandma Gu was visibly in a good mood. In the other car, the atmosphere between Gu Guanping and Lin Ping was visibly cold. The two of them no longer brought up the topic just now and looked out of the car window with dark faces.
Grandma Gu had stayed in the hospital for almost ten days. When she returned home, she was in a good mood, and the smile on her face never stopped. There were not many servants in the old residence, but most of them had worked in the Gu family for several years. They were very happy that Grandma Gu was back and all came up to show concern for Grandma Gu’s health. By the time they settled down, it was almost noon.
Gu Guanping received a phone call saying that he was going to the office. Lin Ping and he didn’t even have lunch and were about to leave. They said that they would come back at night. Grandpa Gu was a man. After so many years, he was used to the nature of Gu Guanping’s work, so he nodded and did not say anything. Grandma Gu, on the other hand, could not do it. These days, she had a lot of opinions about Lin Ping and Gu Guanping. She said directly, “You are not allowed to leave their food for tonight! What, do they think this is a hotel? Come and go as you please!” With that, Grandma Gu went upstairs.
This was the first time Meng Nianyao had seen Grandma Gu angry. She subconsciously glanced at Grandpa Gu, who gestured for her to sit down.” It’s okay. Your grandma has a temper like this. 1’11 go and see her.”
In the car.
Gu Guanping got into the car and threw a tantrum at Lin Ping,”Why are you following me?!” My mother just got discharged from the hospital and you’re not accompanying her. Is this how you should be a daughter-in-law?” “Doesn’t your mother already have that Meng Nianyao?” Lin Ping sneered. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll end up in the hospital because of anger?” From the moment Lin Ping married into the Gu family, she knew that although Grandma Gu usually treated her well, she actually did not like her. She and Gu Guanping had a free relationship. Although the Lin family’s family background was not as good as the Gu family’s, they were still a scholarly family. In the past, she did not understand why Grandma Gu was so distant from her despite being close to everyone. Later, she found out the reason and did not care anymore. “What are you talking about? She’s my mother and your mother-in-law!” Gu Guanping was furious. “She usually treats you well, so what kind of attitude is this! We’re usually overseas and it’s rare for us to come back. When I’m busy, shouldn’t you be filial to the two elders for me?”
Lin Ping was now in her forties, but her arrogance had never diminished. She sneered.” You want me to be nice to them?” I can’t do it!” After saying that, she asked the chauffeur to stop the car and left.
Grandma Gu had been discharged from the hospital today. In addition, it was New Year’s Day today. There were a few red lanterns hanging in the house. From afar, it looked very lively.
Gu Wencheng came back from work. He entered the living room and said, “Uncle Nan, it’s the older generation who values festivals. The house is very beautiful.”
Uncle Nan smiled. He held a small string of lanterns in his hand and was about to hang them on the pot of small kumquats in the living room. “Yes. This way, you little ones will come home more often.”
Gu Wencheng didn’t say anything else and looked around quietly. Uncle Nan had watched Gu Wencheng grow up. He smiled and said, “Nianyao is upstairs. She went to get something with the old lady.”
“Then I’ll go up and take a look.” Gu Wencheng nodded.
Uncle Nan smiled. “I finally see that you’re married. When you have children, we elders will be relieved..”
