Gu Nianci, who had been hesitant, immediately became determined. She glared at Sang Wanhua and shouted, "Who said we're not going? Qingqing, you book the tickets!"

The old lady had almost forgotten about the old hen; she absolutely had to go!

Ye Qingqing overheard this and became very interested. What was this woman surnamed Wang? She hadn't heard of this before. With questions in mind, she snatched the microphone from Ye Mingcheng and asked, "What's wrong with this woman surnamed Wang? Does she not get along with my grandma?"

The old lady smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with her. It's just that this woman surnamed Wang used to be a top model. After your grandmother passed away, she took the title of top model. Of course, Wang was not happy about it and was always showing off in front of your grandmother. Today her daughter-in-law bought her jewelry, tomorrow her daughter paid for her to go on a trip. She just went to Hong Kong a while ago and she was so smug about it."

Actually, these were all harmless little things, and the old lady didn't take them seriously at first. But last time she went to see Gu Nianci's performance, she happened to hear a woman surnamed Wang showing off backstage, as smug as a hen that had just laid an egg, which made her quite uncomfortable.

Moreover, Gu Nianci was a soft-hearted person with poor speaking skills, so she couldn't win an argument with others. The old lady was furious, but she didn't interfere. Such a trivial matter was not worth her time; Gu Nianci had to handle it herself.

So she took the opportunity to bring it up today, and sure enough, Gu Nianci hit the mark on the first try.

Ye Qingqing shouted, "Grandma, why are you afraid of her? So what if she goes to Hong Kong? She'll just be traveling around the country. We'll go abroad to play. This year we'll go to China, and in a while we'll go to Thailand. We'll travel all over Southeast Asia first, and then to Europe and America. We'll travel all over the world. You can go and show off in front of that Wang guy. We have the confidence. You can show off all you want. Dad and I will support you. We're not afraid!"

Ye Mingcheng chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Mom, you're showing off too, I'll give you money!"

Gu Nianci felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes were still a little sore. Although her granddaughter often talked back and made her angry, she was always a reliable support when it mattered. Her son was just as filial. So what if that old hen had two sons and two daughters? They couldn't compare to her!

"I know, I'm not afraid of her at all. I just won't stoop to her level. It's like being a stupid, ignorant woman, all petty and irritable!" Gu Nianci said with a contemptuous tone.

Although she was down on her luck, she still retained the pride of a young lady from the Gu family. That old hen surnamed Wang was obviously from a humble background and was very shallow. She wouldn't bother with such a person; it would be beneath her dignity!

Ye Qingqing was very pleased. Her grandmother had finally stood up for herself, and that mother-in-law surnamed Wang deserved a lot of credit for that!

"Why shouldn't you care? You have to care. Otherwise, people will think my dad is useless. Don't people always show off how successful their sons and daughters are? You have to support my dad too!" Ye Qingqing lectured.

Sometimes, a little bit of showing off is necessary. If you're too low-key, how will others know how outstanding you are?

Good wine needs no bush, and gold will always shine...

Ye Qingqing didn't really agree with this kind of motivational talk. If it's good wine and gold, why hide it in a deep alley or desert? If we show it off, won't people discover it sooner and make money sooner?

Gu Nianci was tempted. Of course, she didn't care about herself, but her granddaughter was right. She couldn't let others misunderstand that Mingcheng was useless. That old hen had talked behind her back many times, saying that she must be living a stingy life because her son was useless.

Bullshit! She's just too lazy to show off. She lived a life of luxury when she was young, and then suffered for decades. Now she just wants a peaceful and quiet life. She doesn't care about material things. This old hen dresses up like a peacock every day. What right does she have to look down on her?
