"What if your son would rather have no male heir than marry a woman who can't lay eggs?"

Zhou Yanyun remained silent for a long time after being questioned by Gu Jin. Gu Jin really was capable of doing such a thing.

After a long pause, she said, "If he really does that, the first person to not let him off the hook won't be me, it will be the old lady!"

Gu Jin didn't say anything more, took a sip of tea, and looked on with an expression of waiting to see a good show.

...

Xinye Group was built by Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu together, and she played a pivotal role in promoting the development of Xinye.

Even though she doesn't hold any official position in the company now, she still wields considerable influence and possesses business analysis skills.

Gu Tenghui would also consult her on some major decisions he was unsure about.

Every time, she was able to point Gu Tenghui in the right direction.

Therefore, whether in Xinye or Gujia, the old lady's position is unshakeable.

Zhou Yanyun agreed to Gu Ye and Yu Sheng's marriage not only because Gu Ye threatened to sever ties, but also because the old lady had given her approval.

After Mr. Gu passed away, the old lady moved from the main house to the back room, saying it was quieter there.

When Yu Sheng arrived at the back room, the old lady was teaching Yueyue to write calligraphy.

Afraid of disturbing them, she didn't dare to make a sound and obediently stood to the side.

After the old lady finished teaching Yueyue to write, she looked up and saw Yu Shengci smiling: "When did you arrive? Why didn't you say a word?"

"I was afraid of disturbing you while you were writing."

She replied with a smile, walked over, and looked at the characters on the Xuan paper. "Yueyue wrote these characters under Grandma's guidance, and they already show signs of becoming a little calligrapher."

After saying that, he leaned down and looked at Yueyue: "Yueyue, do you want to be a calligrapher?"

Little Yueyue looked at Yu Sheng with a wary expression.

Although no one noticed that she pushed Yu Sheng downstairs, in her mind Yu Sheng had at least seen her father and Aunt Tingting eating outside!

What if she tells her mother about it?

What if Mom asks Dad to fire Aunt Tingting?

Does that mean she'll never see Aunt Tingting again?

Thinking about these questions, Yueyue spent the first few days in great fear.

After those few days passed, she found that Yu Sheng hadn't told her mother about it, so she was relieved.

She played happily for several days, until this morning when her mother said she was going to take her to her maternal grandmother's house for a meal, and her aunt would also be there. Then she started to worry again.

At this moment, seeing Yu Sheng, that worry reached its peak!

In the past, Yueyue would jump around and call Yusheng "Auntie" whenever she saw her. Today, not only did she not call her that, but she also had a strange expression. Yusheng waved her hand in front of her eyes: "Yueyue, what's wrong?"

Suddenly snapping out of her daze, Yueyue, gripped by fear, shoved Yusheng aside and ran out of the room.

A four or five-year-old child doesn't have much strength, but because Yu Sheng was leaning forward, she was pushed like that and stumbled backward, bumping into a table.

On the shelf sat a celadon pottery bottle. The bottle wobbled a couple of times and then fell to the ground with a 'bang,' shattering instantly!

This ceramic vase wasn't some priceless antique, but in the old lady's eyes, it was something that no amount of money could buy.

Because it was made for her by Grandpa Gu himself when he was alive.

She's so precious!

The entire Gu family knew this, and Yu Sheng knew it too.

So when Yu Sheng turned around and saw the shards all over the ground, he was completely stunned!

Before she could react, she heard the maid call out, "Grandma, are you alright?"

Yu Sheng turned around and saw that the old lady looked like she was about to faint. She hurriedly went to help her, but the old lady pushed her away. Without looking at her, she pointed to the entrance and shouted angrily, "Get out! Get out of here!"

Yu Sheng felt quite wronged, and tears immediately streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She came out of the house with tears blurring her vision and saw Gu Ye rushing over.

"What happened? Why are you crying?"

Yu Sheng pursed her lips and briefly explained what had just happened.

Gu Yewan never expected that Yu Sheng would smash the old lady's precious ceramic vase.

Although she didn't do it on purpose, she still caused trouble.

He never expected that Yu Sheng would cause such a huge mess on her first day at the Gu family home after her marriage.

Yu Sheng's eyes were red: "What do we do now? Grandma is very angry, but I'm worried that she'll get sick from it. Do you want to go in and try to talk to her?"

"Grandma is furious right now and definitely won't see anyone. Don't worry too much. She's lived to be eighty and has seen all sorts of things. She won't be crushed by a broken pottery vase."

Even though Gu Ye said that, Yu Sheng was still worried.

After all, those were relics left by the old man.

Over the years, it seems she has used objects to express her feelings.

Now that this thing is gone, can she really be alright?

"Let's go to the main hall first; Mom and Dad are still waiting for us to eat."

Yu Sheng responded and walked towards the main hall with Gu Ye.

Yueyue did not leave the back room, which means she knew about what had just happened.

She was already worried that Yu Sheng would tell her mother about her father and Aunt Tingting having dinner, and now that she had pushed Yu Sheng and broken her great-grandmother's vase, she was under double pressure and didn't dare to see Gu Jin at all.

She walked towards the veranda while sobbing.

Chen Henian was on the phone in the veranda dealing with work matters when he heard a little girl sobbing. He immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw it was Yueyue. He called out, "Yueyue—"

Yueyue looked up, and through her tear-blurred little eyes, she saw her father and cried out, "Daddy—"

"What's wrong? What happened?"
