Looking at Tang Xiaoran's arrogant face, Shen Jingyan found it laughable.

Why would someone want to interfere in someone else's family affairs when they're in their own home?

They really don't consider themselves outsiders!

Doesn't she have any idea what her place is in Gu Zhiyun's heart?

Tang Xiaoran's face fell when she saw that Shen Jingyan didn't respond with any disdain.

She was heading towards the kitchen when Professor Tang said in a low voice, "Sit down! This isn't your home. How do people do their chores? Do you need to make things worse?"

Seeing her father's tense face, Tang Xiaoran had no choice but to sit down reluctantly.

While Professor Tang and Old Man Xu chatted with Mr. and Mrs. Gu Huaiqian and played with Rui Rui, Tang Xiaoran felt neglected, so she took every opportunity to make conversation.

As soon as Gu Zhiyun came out of the kitchen, she immediately became excited.

Gu Zhiyun sat down next to Shen Jingyan, took an orange, peeled it, and gave it to his wife.

Tang Xiaoran tried to say something several times, but Gu Zhiyun didn't even look at her, and she couldn't open her mouth successfully each time.

He had no choice but to turn to Fang Ru: "Principal Fang, as Xiao Gu's former supervisor, I am very satisfied with his research capabilities. I hope he will pass the doctoral entrance exam smoothly and then work at the National Space Administration."

Fang Ru smiled and replied, "Zhiyun has a clear plan for his future, and we as his parents respect his opinion."

She did not directly state that Gu Zhiyun's future plan was to stay at the university as a teacher.

Gu Zhiyun had already brought up this topic with her and Gu Huaiqian.

To avoid being harassed by Tang Xiaoran, he chose to stay at the National Academy of Space Science and Technology, which he most wanted to attend, instead.

Shen Jingyan felt that this was a sacrifice Gu Zhiyun made for the family, but Gu Zhiyun did not think so.

Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian believe that both work and family are very important. Gu Zhiyun has already neglected his own family a lot, and he cannot be selfish and only think about his own future in the future.

Therefore, they support Gu Zhiyun's decision.

Tang Xiaoran sensed a hidden meaning in Fang Ru's words.

"What are Xiao Gu's plans for the future?"

Gu Zhiyun didn't look at Tang Xiaoran and replied calmly, "Getting into a doctoral program is my immediate goal."

"And what about after you get into a doctoral program?" Tang Xiaoran pressed.

Professor Tang suddenly cleared his throat loudly, stood up, and said with a livid face, "I've had too much to drink and want to go home to sleep."

As he spoke, he walked towards the door.

He walked steadily, showing no signs of being drunk at all.

Tang Xiaoran had no choice but to stand up as well. She was now labeled as a filial daughter, and since her elderly father was going home for his medicine, she naturally had to go with him.

The Gu family members all stood up to see Professor Tang off.

As he reached the door, Professor Tang said gently to the Gu family, "Alright, I'm just an old man. There's no need for you all to make such a fuss to see me off. I have a daughter with me who's worried about me, isn't she?"

After saying that, he went downstairs.

"Goodbye, Great-Grandpa!" Rui Rui waved her little hand at Professor Tang.

Professor Tang smiled and said goodbye to Rui Rui.

Since Professor Tang had forbidden them from delivering the package, the Gu family did not go downstairs again.

Anyone could tell that Professor Tang was not happy.

It wasn't because the Gu family had treated him poorly, but because his daughter had been constantly causing him trouble.

The Gu family returned to the living room, and Old Man Xu looked at Gu Zhiyun with a meaningful gaze.

Old Man Xu had long seen through Tang Xiaoran's attitude towards Gu Zhiyun.

"Xiao Gu, don't always try to avoid some things. You have to face them when you have to, and solve them when you have to. The country needs talents like you for astronauts."

Gu Zhiyun nodded.

Right now, however, there is no solution.

Professor Tang kept a straight face and didn't say a word on his way home.

When she got home, Tang Xiaoran brought her a glass of water and said:

"Dad, take your blood pressure medication."

Professor Tang said coldly, "With a shameless daughter like you, no matter how much medicine I take, my blood pressure won't come down!"

Upon hearing the word "shameless," Tang Xiaoran's hand trembled, and hot water spilled onto the back of her hand.

Her father had never used such harsh words to reprimand her.

She felt wronged. Was her behavior really so despicable in her father's eyes?

What's wrong with her pursuing happiness?

She firmly believed that Gu Zhiyun would only find true happiness with her!

Instead of things like now, where you have to hold your child while attending a seminar, and wash the dishes after eating at home.

The woman who claimed to be deeply in love with him was sitting leisurely on the sofa, waiting for Gu Zhiyun to peel an orange for her!

"Dad, I didn't say anything special, I was just expressing concern about Xiao Gu's career plans..."

Professor Tang flew into a rage, snatched the water glass from her hand, and smashed it at her feet.

Tang Xiaoran screamed in fright and backed away.

"That's someone else's home! What right do you have to be so arrogant and lecture Jingya for not doing any work? Who are you to Xiao Gu, chasing after him and asking all sorts of questions? You may not have any shame, but I do!"

"At least Xiao Gu calls me 'teacher,' so what's wrong with me caring about his future?"

"Enough! Tang Xiaoran, ask yourself honestly, when you care about Xiao Gu, do you really see him as a student? Are you just afraid he won't work at the National Space Administration after graduation? Do you think people can't see through your little schemes?"
