Chapter 425: Rejection
Gu Jinfeng looked guilty, "Brother Meng, I know I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a grandfather all these years, and I even indirectly killed Guangbai and Qinning!"
"Shut up, you have no right to mention their names!"
Meng Yunbang's expression changed immediately. In fact, he was also responsible for Qin Ning's affairs.
If he weren't so conservative, perhaps his daughter and son-in-law would still be alive now.
Now, aren’t the words of this old guy stabbing him in the heart?
But no matter how much he objects, he will not destroy his daughter's cultivation.
“Yes, I am not qualified!”
Gu Jinfeng looked dejected. He had always thought that even if Guangbai had lost his cultivation, he was still living happily in some corner.
He had never thought that Guangbai would die. It was all his fault as a father. He was the one who harmed Guangbai!
Meng Yunbang didn't want to see Gu Jinfeng's guilt at all.
"Gu Jinfeng, go now. I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said today, and you should also pretend that you didn't say it. Don't come to provoke Guan Nan, otherwise I won't let you go!"
Guan Nan was the child he had raised with great difficulty, and he would never allow the Gu family to mess with him.
"Brother Meng, Guan Nan is a disciple of my Gu family and he is also my grandson. I would have known about this, but now that I know, how can I ignore it? I want to bring Guan Nan back to his roots!"
"Return to your ancestry?"
Meng Yunbang sneered, with a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
"This is your purpose!"
"If Guan Nan was an ordinary, unknown person, would you look for him?"
"If Guan Nan was still that sickly child, would you look for him?"
"Gu Jinfeng, don't think that no one knows your little thoughts. Guan Nan is my grandson, and I will not allow anyone to take advantage of him!"
"I didn’t!"
Gu Jinfeng felt a little guilty in his heart. He did have this idea, but he also truly loved Guan Nan.
He has already lost his son and doesn't want to lose his grandson. Is there anything wrong with that?
"Gu Jinfeng, although we haven't dealt with each other much, we know each other well. No matter what you say, I won't let you disturb Guannan!"
Meng Yunbang looked at him and said word by word, "Remember this, Guannan is the young patriarch of my Meng family and the grandson of me, Meng Yunbang. No one can disturb him!"
Gu Jinfeng choked up, looked at his grandson who had been expressionless from the beginning, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Did you make this decision without asking the child's opinion?"
Meng Yunbang snorted coldly, "Do you even need to ask this?"
He was the one who brought up Guannan since he was a child, so how could this old man compare to him!
"My mother is Meng Qinning, my father is Guangbai, and I am Meng Guannan, Master Gu, don't forget!"
Meng Guannan's words directly stated his position. No matter whether it was his father or himself, they were not Gu's family.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinfeng seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and his straight back slightly bent. What could be more painful than having one's grandson not recognize him?
He admitted that he was selfish at first, but he also really cared about the children!
Doesn't Meng Yunbang have any selfish motives at all? Isn't it because of Guan Nan's talent that he doesn't want to let Guan Nan leave?
"The Meng family has paid a lot for Guannan. Guannan is a member of the Meng family when he is alive and will be the soul of the Meng family when he dies!"
No one knew better than him how much his grandfather had sacrificed for him. Every time his physical condition exploded, his grandfather had spent so much effort to save his life, and even the Meng family had spent so many resources.
He has always kept these in mind. To him, his grandfather is his grandpa, and the Meng family is his roots, and no one can change that!
"Good boy, Grandpa only hopes that you will live a safe and peaceful life, and I don't ask for anything else!"
Meng Yunbang's eyes were slightly red. Thinking of the grandson he had just brought home, who was so small and thin, he was really scared.
His daughter and son-in-law passed away suddenly, leaving him with a five or six-year-old grandson. He will never forget how he felt at that time.
"Grandpa, I'm so happy!"
Seeing this, Gu Jinfeng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
If there had been no objection back then, would the situation not have been like this? The grandson would not want to recognize himself, let alone acknowledge his ancestors. What a sin!
"you……"
"Master Gu, if you have nothing else to do, we will leave first. We want to have barbecue with our ancestors!"
Gu Jinfeng opened his mouth, wanting to say that the ancestor was also looking forward to meeting him, but he couldn't open his mouth.
"Guan Nan, what did you say? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with Patriarch Gu?"
It's not just Master Gu who's not right, their master also seems to be not right!
Meng Guannan shook his head. "It's nothing. I just told a story and Grandpa was a little emotional!"
"real?"
Meng Guanhuai looked unconvinced. He always felt that something had happened that they didn't know about, and that this matter was related to Guannan. It was a pity that he had no evidence!
"Alright, hurry up and eat them. These are all baked by our ancestors. If you don't eat them, I will eat them all!"
"No, leave some for me!"
Really, our ancestors put a lot of good things in the barbecue. It would be a pity if he didn’t eat it.
Meng Guannan shook his head helplessly when he saw this. As for the incident just now, he didn't feel the slightest bit of turmoil in his heart. Just like he had said before, he was a member of the Meng family in life and the soul of the Meng family in death!
No matter whether it was his grandfather, the clan members, or the ancestors, their concern for him was genuine and came from the bottom of their hearts. Even Meng Guanhe, who occasionally found fault with him, was just being awkward and arrogant, and did not have any real malice towards him. He could still feel this!
"Wow, Guan Nan, you are so cunning. You ate so much without saying anything. Really, you should have left some for me!"
"Grandpa, I want to eat more. Can you bake some more?"
"Meng Guanhuai, you are so bold that you dare to order our ancestors to do things!"
"That's because our ancestors baked it deliciously!"
"hehe!"
Everyone laughed, was it because it was delicious or because there were so many ingredients?
Li Li, however, seemed to have found something fun and was not angry at all. "Don't rush, don't rush. I have a lot more here. Everyone can have a share!"
"Grandfather, you are so kind!"
"Yeah, I only knew that my ancestor was a big eater and ate a lot, but I didn't expect that he was also good at grilling. He's really amazing!"
Dabai: ...
"Of course the ancestors are amazing..."
"Wow, it's really delicious!"
"Grandfather, I want more!"
Listening to their praises, Li Li was even happier and wanted to do everything she could. Only Dabai sneered beside her, saying that all the good guys were a bunch of sycophants.
As for whether the food baked by the little guy is delicious, it tastes just so-so. I won’t say it’s bad, but the only good thing about it is the dipping sauce on it. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, only the little guy would believe it.
