Qin Mingyan was surprised. She didn't expect that this woman would dare to attack her.
The room was in a mess. Grandma Gu heard the noise next door and came in with the help of a servant. When she saw this scene, she was speechless.
Qin Mingyan saw that it was the old lady and immediately put on a sad expression, "Look, Mom, I just wanted to teach her some rules before the three-family banquet to prevent her from losing the Gu family at the banquet, but Chen Yuan was really stubborn and actually bullied her mother-in-law."
Xu Wenlou also joined in the funniness upon seeing this. "Grandma, this is really not our problem. Chen Yuan is a noble lady after all, and now she is a member of the Gu family. If she makes a mistake at the banquet, it will be a disgrace to the Gu family."
Grandma Gu walked directly to their middle and sat on the sofa, pulling Shen Yuan next to her over. Seeing that her hands were red from being hit with the ruler, she began to feel distressed.
"Look at how broken you are. You don't even need to learn these rules. It's just a party. You are already very good the way you are."
Qin Mingyan was upset when she heard this. "Mom, how can we treat such a big event like the three-family banquet as a joke?"
Grandma Gu glared at Qin Mingyan on the ground with an annoyed look on her face, "Mingyan, I don't know how many times I've told you that you're so old, but you still behave like a child. If I were to say, you're not even as good as Shen Yuan."
"You teach her the rules and respect Miss Shen. How could Miss Shen treat you like this? As the saying goes, respect is mutual."
Qin Mingyan staggered to her feet from the ground. She was very angry at Grandma Gu's unconditional favoritism.
Xu Wenlou burst into tears and said, "Grandma, you can't let Shen Yuan bully Aunt Qin like this. She is wholeheartedly devoted to this family. Aunt Qin is her mother-in-law after all. If this gets out, it won't sound good."
Granny Gu couldn't stand it any longer and slammed her cane on the ground. "This is the Gu family. You, an outsider, don't have the right to speak here. You keep whining and crying all day long. People who know you think you are kind, but people who don't think our Gu family has done something to you. It's so annoying."
Miss Shen is polite and likable no matter how you look at her. When she first saw Shen Yuan, she felt that his personality was very similar to her own when she was young. He was polite and sensible, brave and resourceful, and dared to take responsibility for his actions. Unlike some women, he only played tricks behind the scenes.
Xu Wenlou was scolded and humiliated, and walked out of the door with a red face.
"Grandma, don't be angry. I'll take you out for a walk."
Grandma Gu was in a good mood and happily followed Chen Yuan out, no matter how Qin Mingyan called out to her behind her.
In the evening, you can still see some red sunset glow in the sky, and when the breeze blows, it makes people feel very refreshed.
“Girl Shen, I want to eat that. I haven’t eaten it for a long time.”
Chen Yuan realized it was an ice cream truck and her expression suddenly became serious. "Grandma, you're not in good health and can't eat cold food. Gu Jisui always reminded me of this. Have you forgotten?"
Grandma Gu curled her lips and said, "It's okay to eat one occasionally, but I'm just greedy."
Chen Yuan pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I can only eat one, otherwise I will definitely be scolded by Gu Jisui."
"Okay, okay, I definitely won't tell him. If that brat dares to scold you, I'll be the first to disagree."
After Chen Yuan bought ice cream for Grandma Gu, the two of them walked and chatted.
"Miss Shen, you've been married into our Gu family for some time. When do you plan to have a baby? I'm an old man, and I don't know how long I can live."
Chen Yuan understood the implicit meaning of her grandmother's words, "Grandma, how can you say that? At your age, it wouldn't be too much to live for a few more decades."
Grandma Gu knew she was changing the subject, and said cheerfully, "Miss Shen is still sweet-mouthed. I love what she says the most. But grandma, you are just anxious to have a grandson. Has Gu Jisui mentioned it to you?"
When Shen Yuan heard this, her face instantly turned red, "Grandma, matters like this still have to be decided by Gu Jisui."
"Ah, could it be that Gu Jisui is not good enough?"
Chen Yuan staggered. What kind of vicious words were these? Old people nowadays know too much.
"No!"
They laughed and chatted together until seven or eight in the evening before going home. Gu Jisui was sitting on the sofa, leisurely looking at documents. Seeing Chen Yuan coming back with a happy face, he asked, "You are very happy today. What did you talk about with grandma?"
Chen Yuan smiled awkwardly. She couldn't tell him that her grandmother was anxious to have a grandson and asked her to act quickly.
"No...nothing to talk about. I'm going upstairs to take a shower."
Gu Jisui curled his lips and ignored him.
Just as she went up to the second floor and passed by Xu Wenlou's room, she happened to hear Xu Wenlou's complaining voice, his words filled with a bit of anger and forbearance.
When Shen Yuan leaned in closer to listen, she realized that Xu Wenlou was actually talking to Wen Lianjie on the phone. When did they get in touch?
"I can't do this with you anymore. I'm covered in wounds from you, and I feel like I'm dying. I'm in great pain. Please let me go."
Wen Lianjiexi laughed cruelly on the other end of the phone, "Let you go? I can't stand it. You'd better be on time for the appointment tomorrow, otherwise you know the consequences."
"I said I'm not feeling well. If you want to play this disgusting game, please find someone else. There are plenty of prostitutes in nightclubs. Can you please not torture me?"
There was a slight tremor in Xu Wenlou's voice when he spoke.
"Miss, how can you be as fun as me? Everyone in Xuwenlou has to pay the price for what they did. If you want to blame someone, blame your stupidity."
Wen Lianjie didn't say anything else and the phone was hung up.
Xu Wenlou slumped on the ground. Through the gap in the door, Chen Yuan could clearly see the red scars on her arms after she took off her coat. It was obvious that she was beaten with a belt.
Although she didn't like Xu Wenlou, she hated Wen Lianjie's behavior even more. Wen Lianjie was the youngest son of the second branch of the Wen family. They treated him like a baby, so they indulged him, which led to his current playboy and cynical personality.
Does Xu Wenlou have any leverage over him?
The next day, Chen Yuan called Wen Lianjie, and Wen Lianjie answered the call quickly.
"Oh, I was wondering who it was. Isn't this my dearest cousin? Why did you have time to call me?"
Chen Yuan didn't want to beat around the bush with him, and said in a very serious tone: "Wen Lianjie, I don't have time to play these jokes with you. You'd better stop doing these disgusting things to Xu Wenlou. If the Wen family knew about this, how would they view you? Grandma Wen hates these kinds of dirty behaviors the most. What do you think?"
