Volume 1 Chapter 542 Third Birthday

As for Wang Chunmei, they have plenty of ways to teach her how to be a good daughter-in-law!

After several months, Gu's mother no longer had any reluctance to part with Zhang Jinmin.

Now, after hearing this, she was left with only regret in her heart. It was fate that played tricks on her, and she had to accept reality.

When Wang Chunmei remarried, the Wang family sent her away directly, and then asked Zhang Jinmin to come back and send her away together.

It was done so quietly that no one noticed at all until the man's side got the news, and people only knew that she had remarried and taken the child with her.

Gu Tinghao didn't say anything when he heard the news, but his face looked a little bad.

Whenever he heard the name Wang Chunmei, his jealousy became more obvious.

Mother Gu looked at Gu Tinghao. Her youngest son was still young and it was impossible for him to raise his daughter alone for the rest of his life.

I don’t know if there are any like-minded female classmates in school with whom I can spend the rest of my life.

"Old Four, are you still thinking about Wang Chunmei?"

Mother Gu looked at him, and Gu Tinghao shook his head. He was not thinking about Wang Chunmei, but he could not forget the green on his head.

When Mother Gu saw that he really didn't worry about her anymore, she felt relieved. She considered her tone and began to persuade him.

"Old Four, you are still young. You can't live alone."

"It's not convenient for a grown man like you to take care of Jingjing. There must always be a woman at home."

Mother Gu loves her granddaughter, but she also loves her son. Gu Tinghao is only 29 years old. Does he have to spend the rest of his life alone?

"mom......"

"Don't change the subject. Do you really want to live alone for the rest of your life?"

Gu's mother interrupted him directly. Gu Tinghao lowered his head and said nothing. Gu's mother knew what he was thinking at a glance.

"Are you worried that your new wife will treat Jingjing badly?"

"Are you afraid that Jingjing won't be able to accept her stepmother?"

Mother Gu directly asked about Gu Tinghao's concerns, and he had both.

He didn't want anyone to abuse Gu Jingjing anymore, nor did he want his new wife to cause Gu Jingjing to resist.

If this is true, then is there any difference from when Wang Chunmei was still around?

"Mom, don't talk about this anymore."

"I'm not considering getting married for the time being."

Seeing him like this, Mother Gu didn't want to force him, but she also couldn't bear to see her son spend the rest of his life alone!

"You should communicate well with Jingjing."

"If there are like-minded female comrades, tell them clearly about your family situation."

"It would be best if you can accept it, but if you can't..."

Mother Gu couldn't make a decision either. She couldn't choose between her granddaughter and her son's happiness for the rest of his life.

Mother Gu sighed deeply. After all, the fourth child had chosen the wrong person...

Forget it, forget it. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. What will happen in the future depends on the child’s own luck.

Mother Gu didn't say anything else. She sighed and went to the kitchen to busy herself.

Gu Tinghao looked at his mother's somewhat aged back without saying anything, but he felt very uncomfortable.

I am unfilial...I have made my parents, who are over fifty years old, worry about me all the time. From childhood to adulthood, I have never given them peace of mind.

From small things like studying to big things like marriage prospects...

The day soon arrived and it was Yiyi's birthday. Sheng Wanyan got up early and made a cake for her.

Grandpa Sheng, grandma Sheng, father Sheng and mother Sheng all came to Gu's house, and each elder brought a gift.

Pan Yue took her children back to her parents' home and came over to blow out the candles during dinner.

Yi Yi is the little birthday girl in the family today. Everyone in the family smiles when they see her and reaches out to touch her little face.

"Waiwai~"

"Be good!"

Grandma Sheng stretched out her hands, and Yi Yi rushed into her arms like a little cannonball.

Yi Yi was so happy to see Grandpa Sheng and the others coming that bursts of laughter could be heard from the kitchen.

Gu's mother was helping Sheng Wanyan make a cake, and the aunt at home was cooking tonight's meal. There were many people at home today, so they had to prepare early.

"Yi Yi is so happy."

Mother Gu smiled and shook her head. It was a rare birthday for the little girl, so she had to celebrate it in a lively manner.

"It would be nice if the third brother was here."

Mother Gu couldn't help but think of Gu Tingxiao. It was a rare day for them to be together, but it was a pity that the third brother, their father, was not there.

"Ting Xiao sent Yi Yi a birthday present before he went on a mission."

When Mother Gu heard what Sheng Wanyan said, she couldn't stop laughing. The third child looked cold on the surface, but she was very considerate in her heart.

Especially for the third son's wife and Yi Yi, everything was arranged early on.

"Thank goodness he is a conscientious father who has arranged it in advance."

Mother Gu was relieved, but she still had to maintain the image of an elder in front of her daughter-in-law.

The family members came back one after another, and the most important cake was completed. Several children gathered in front of the cake and couldn't help drooling.

The last time we had cake at home was last month, when Sheng Wanyan made it when she had nothing to do.

But ever since Sheng Wanyan's belly got bigger and bigger, she rarely cooked.

The children in the family all knew that she could make a lot of delicious food, and they had been craving for it for a long time.

Not to mention the children, even the adults were craving for the food she cooked.

"Third Aunt, when can we eat?"

Gu Jingjing couldn't help swallowing her saliva when looking at the cake. Thanks to her usual upbringing, she didn't drool.

"After dinner, you can eat after you blow out the candles one by one."

"Go wash your hands and eat first."

When the children at home heard this, they hurriedly lined up to wash their hands and eat. After finishing their meal, the children stretched their necks to look towards the kitchen.

After Pan Yue and Hu Zi finished their meal at her mother's house, they came to Gu's house.

Yi Yi saw Hu Zi coming and took him by the hand to introduce him to his brothers and sisters. Hu Zi had a cheerful personality and the children soon started playing together.

"Come on, come on, everyone is here."

"Hurry up and blow the cake."

As Mother Gu spoke, she brought out the cake. In an instant, several children gathered around the table, and Father Gu carried Yi Yi onto a stool.

"We are one year older. I wish you good health and happy growth."

Family members all said congratulations, and they all said them very seriously. Regardless of whether they understood or not, their attitudes were very sincere.

"Come on, make a wish and blow out the candles."

Yi Yi closed her eyes, clenched her hands into fists and made a wish.

In just the time it took to open and close my eyes, the candles were blown out one by one, and the whole process took less than three seconds.

Sheng Wanyan:…” Did you really make a wish?

No matter what, the children were the happiest because they finally got to eat the cake they had been longing for.

Everyone received their gifts, and Sheng Wanyan took out the gifts that she and Gu Tingxiao had prepared.

Before Gu Tingxiao returned to Bingcheng, he was afraid that he would miss his daughter's third birthday, so he gave the gift to Sheng Wanyan for safekeeping before leaving.

He knew Yi Yi's preferences so well that he actually prepared a set of dance costumes for her, which were not even sold in overseas Chinese stores.

It was clear at first glance that it was Gu Tingxiao who asked Hei Ye to plunder the money. No one knew how many connections and time he had to spend on it.
