After dinner, Ye Mingcheng called the old lady and told her about the group trip to China for the New Year. Gu Nianci was reluctant; she didn't want to go anywhere and just wanted to stay at home.

"Why are you running around during the Spring Festival? Qingqing is really something, she's always out and about all year round, and she's even going out during the Spring Festival."

Ye Mingcheng pressed the speakerphone button, and Gu Nianci's voice came through. Ye Qingqing heard it clearly and couldn't help but pout.

Her grandmother should have lived in the old society, devoted to her husband and children every day, enduring scolding from her mother-in-law, arranging maids for her husband, and even taking the initiative to take concubines. She wouldn't dare to talk back when her husband scolded her, and would secretly cry under the covers...

This is the kind of life Gu Nianci likes. In today's enlightened society where men and women are equal and free, Gu Nianci can't keep up.

"Grandma, what's it to you if I run out? If you don't want to go out, just stay home. I'll save money!" Ye Qingqing couldn't help but retort. She wasn't going to be a pushover.

If you're unhappy, just argue with her; the same goes for Grandma.

Moreover, she was helping Gu Nianci exercise her brain to prevent it from deteriorating and developing Alzheimer's disease. Haven't you noticed that Gu Nianci has become more energetic the more they argue lately?

"I say one thing and you say ten, with a personality like yours, what man could stand you..." Gu Nianci scolded angrily, but in reality she was worried that Ye Qingqing would suffer after getting married because of her personality.

Although she always found fault with Ye Qingqing, she genuinely wanted her only granddaughter to live a happy life, which is why she was always finding fault. However, she didn't realize that times were changing and her ways were outdated.

“My Lu Mo likes me a lot, Grandma, you’re worrying unnecessarily. Brother… am I right?” Ye Qingqing winked at Lu Mo.

Lu Mo's face flushed, and he peeled a shrimp and handed it over, saying, "Talk to Grandma properly."

This girl always makes Gu Nianci so angry she jumps up and down; she's so naughty!

After eating the shrimp from Lu Mo's hand, Ye Qingqing winked and whispered, "I'm helping her exercise her brain."

Lu Mo's lips twitched. What kind of twisted logic was this? But it was true that Gu Nianci's spirits had been getting better and better recently. Compared to her previous destitute and miserable state when she was selling fried rice cakes, Gu Nianci now looked at least fifteen years younger, and her hair had turned much blacker.

The old lady also enrolled her in a senior modeling class. Gu Nianci was shy and refused to go the first few times, but now she attends every class without fail and is more enthusiastic than anyone else. Her spirits are getting better and better. She is a natural beauty with an elegant temperament. Now that she is in a good mood, she immediately becomes the most beautiful girl in the modeling team. When she goes on stage to perform, Gu Nianci is always the most eye-catching one.

There were even many single old men who always lingered around Gu Nianci, including many who were quite eligible, such as professors, doctors, company CEOs, and even foreigners... It was really interesting.

But Gu Nianci sternly rejected them all, saying she would never look for a man again in her life.

Gu Nianci was surprised to see Lu Mo there. She muttered a few words under her breath and then stopped talking. The old lady was very enthusiastic about going out to play, and Sang Wanhua was also a lively person. The minority obeyed the majority and made the decision.

“If you don’t want to go, stay home. We’ll go out and have some fun,” Sang Wanhua said deliberately.

Gu Nianci was itching to go; she was tempted. She had never been abroad before, and she was almost seventy. Every year she lived was one year less away from her goal, and she felt unwilling to leave without going out and exploring the world.

But she felt uneasy about going out during the Chinese New Year, and was extremely conflicted.

The old lady chuckled and casually tossed out a remark, "That Wang girl from your modeling team, wasn't she bragging to you about her trip to Hong Kong last time? She said her daughter and son-in-law paid for it, and she went for a few days. She acted like she was so important, like she was on top of the world, and even called you a frog in a well..."
