At her age, she should just live one day at a time.
But if her grandson could get married, she could die in peace.
Gu Dongsheng thoughtfully closed the door, then returned to find his wife sitting on the sofa wiping away tears.
"Alright, stop crying. There's still room for negotiation. I'll talk to Ling Xiao about it. If the relationship isn't that deep, then let's break up!"
Cai Wei said, "You have to help me persuade my son. How can he just casually marry an older single woman!"
Gu Dongsheng poured his wife a glass of water, and after she drank a few sips and calmed down a while later, he spoke.
"Don't you think about how old our son is? Actually, they are a good match, at least in terms of age."
Cai Wei said, "I just feel that if a woman is 29 years old and has never been married, there must be something wrong with her."
Gu Dongsheng said, "They must have their reasons for not being married. Besides, didn't their son say that they run a small business? Maybe it's because of their business that they haven't gotten married yet. We shouldn't make prejudiced judgments before we've even met them."
Cai Wei raised her hand and punched her husband hard in the chest. "Fine! You're being biased too, aren't you!"
Gu Dongsheng hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Don't you think about what our son is doing now? Actually, the Lin family girl doesn't know that our son has adopted a child. If she knew about Gu Huailin's existence, it's hard to say whether she would stay with our son!"
Cai Wei stopped struggling. "What you said makes sense. I did think about finding a partner for my son before, but I mainly considered the existence of that child. What woman would come to someone's door and become a stepmother? Besides, that child has no blood relation to us."
This kind of upbringing lasts a lifetime, and it's a boy no less! When he gets married and has children, won't the son be the one to take care of him?
Gu Dongsheng sighed, "He's been taking care of me for so many years, it's no use saying these things now."
Cai Wei thought about Lin Yueru's qualities and appearance, "If we miss out on Xiaoru, my son will never meet someone so good again. How can he be so clueless!"
Gu Dongsheng couldn't help but think of what his mother had said last night, "When your wife is jealous of your wife, you'll know how I feel—"
He truly understands now; indeed, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies.
"How about this, let's think of a compromise that will make our son realize he made the wrong choice, wouldn't that work?"
Cai Wei's eyes lit up with an idea. "There's no harm without comparison. Doesn't he want me to meet that woman? I'll bring Xiao Ru along too, so both of them show up at the same time. Let's see how our son chooses!"
Gu Dongsheng felt this method was a bit underhanded, but then he thought again that it was also the fastest way to resolve the matter.
"Then you can talk to him when your son comes over tomorrow!"
Cai Wei felt much better after having an idea.
"Okay, I'll tell him that I'll control my temper and make sure our son understands that only my choice is right!"
Looking at his wife's confident demeanor, Gu Dongsheng thought that women were indeed fickle and unpredictable.
I hope she gets what she wants!
Otherwise, things will turn out horribly wrong, and then my son will be in big trouble!
Looking back now, I think my mother was pretty good. When we had a conflict, she didn't force me to make a choice or let me choose one of the options.
Instead, they chose to live in the old house, allowing the couple to live peacefully for decades.
Gu Lingxiao arrived at the agreed location to wait for Xiao Wang. Today, a leader needed a car, so he had to avoid meeting them at the same time.
Xiao Wang drove over and saw Gu Lingxiao standing there with a dark expression on his face.
I felt something was off; wasn't I going to see my parents?
He brought the car to a smooth stop, and only asked after everyone had gotten in.
"What's wrong? You look so pale."
Gu Lingxiao felt a tightness in his chest, so he asked Xiao Wang, "If your family doesn't approve of you being with Zhou An'an, what would you choose?"
Xiao Wang was taken aback at first, then realized that Gu Lingxiao's family disapproved of their relationship. Thinking of his own family, he then spoke up.
"As you know, I'm not the only son in the family. They might not be counting on me for their old age, and even if they are, it's decades from now. So I can choose whatever I want, as long as they don't have to pay for it, there shouldn't be any problems—"
Gu Lingxiao gave a wry smile, "My mother is firmly against me and Lu Zhixia, which is not what I imagined!"
