When Mr. Gu and his wife saw Gu Jingxuan walk away in anger, their faces turned very ugly. Li Limei's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
"Jingxuan is such a willful kid. He just walked away without any manners. It's understandable that he didn't give face to me and his father, but he didn't even give face to you two old people, ignoring the fact that you raised him since he was a child."
The two old men had a sudden urge to kick them out.
"Hurry up and eat." The old lady finally gave her son some face and did not allow the topic to continue.
Ever since Li Limei married Gu Lingfeng, she knew that the two old people didn't like her, so she seldom came to their home. During holidays, Gu Lingfeng would bring the two children back to visit the old people.
She came here today with her own purpose.
Gu Jingxuan, once a beloved son of the old couple, is now facing retirement due to injury. The old man's beloved son is no longer as popular as he once was. Will his favor change? Should the status of Gu Lingfeng, the only son of the Gu family, in the Gu family also change? And since their own son is so well-behaved and outstanding, shouldn't he also be valued and loved by the old man?
Thinking of this, Li Limei's lips curled up slightly, a smug smile flashing across her face. She looked up at the old lady, only to find that she was smiling at her. That smile seemed to carry a hint of mockery and disdain. Li Limei's face instantly turned gloomy, she lowered her head, and stopped talking. She knew that she would always be an outsider in this family.
So what if she was an outsider? Wasn't she the only daughter-in-law in this family? Wouldn't the old man die? As long as the old man was disappointed with Gu Jingxuan, then when he passed away, the huge family business of the Gu family would become his own.
Or perhaps she could achieve her goal by letting Gu Jingxuan be controlled by her. The best way to control a man was to place a woman by his side. She and Gu Lingfeng were a perfect example. Gu Lingfeng was incredibly successful, but she still had him completely under her control. So she showed Gu Jingxuan's photo to her niece, Li Muhan. Although the little girl was usually arrogant, the moment she saw Gu Jingxuan's photo, she was also tempted. So she wanted to do her best to facilitate their marriage.
It’s true that Li Limei has a good plan, but malicious plans are often difficult to succeed in the end and may even backfire.
"Mom and Dad, Jingxuan is not young anymore, it's time for him to get married." Although the old couple didn't know what Li Limei's purpose was in talking about this matter now, when they heard the word "marriage", it touched their hearts, and their expressions eased a little.
"Yes, it's time to get ready." The old lady was delighted thinking about the scene of her eldest grandson bringing his grandson's wife home.
Seeing that the old couple finally stopped looking so stern, Li Limei thought that these two old guys were still so kind to Gu Jingxuan, even though he could no longer bring them glory.
It seems that the second move I thought of was still very smart.
"You two old people have never met my niece Mu Han. She is an excellent child. She is now a graduate student at the Imperial Capital University and will graduate soon. Why not let Jingxuan meet her? Maybe they will hit it off." Li Limei said to herself. She didn't notice that the old couple's faces had become as dark as the bottom of a pot.
It would have been fine if they had married Li Limei. They had married her because of Gu Lingfeng's insistence, but after they got married, they discovered that Li Limei's character and personality were terrible. If it weren't for them, their grandchildren might not even be alive. They were already very dissatisfied with having such a person in their family. Now, this woman actually set her sights on their grandchildren. How hateful.
"I advise you not to interfere in Jingxuan's affairs. He has his own decisions to make. If you dare to interfere, I'll punish you." As Old Man Gu spoke, his stern gaze glared at Gu Lingfeng. Gu Lingfeng felt a chill run down his spine as he took in his father's gaze. This was a sign of the old man's anger. He quickly tugged at Li Limei's arm, signaling her not to bring up the subject again.
Li Limei couldn't help getting angry when she saw her husband being so cowardly in front of the old man. She had been so glorious in the eyes of outsiders over the years, and her status in her mother's family was also one of having the final say. Now her niece had fallen in love with Gu Jingxuan, and she, as his aunt, couldn't help. How could she explain this to her niece?
"Although Jingxuan was very successful in the past, he is about to be demobilized. Although he made many military achievements during his years in the army, his halo is gone after demobilization. My niece is a graduate student at a prestigious university, and her appearance is also..."
"Shut up." When Li Limei was still chattering on and on about her niece's many advantages, she was frightened by the old man's angry shout and shut her mouth, staring at him in a daze.
"Didn't you hear what I said just now? What's your relationship with Jingxuan? What qualifications do you have to get involved in his affairs?" Gu Jingxuan had grown up, and the old man had gradually forgotten about his childhood. But now Li Limei was seeking a sense of existence, which reminded the old man of Gu Jingxuan's childhood.
Li Limei wasn't the child's biological mother, so they understood her lack of care for him. They were both old enough and physically capable of raising a child. But Li Limei should never have pushed Gu Lingfeng into neglecting the child. At one point, they even discussed finding a good family for Gu Jingxuan. The reason they offered was for their parents' health.
They immediately kicked the two out and ordered them never to set foot in the Gu residence again. However, as their children and grandchildren grew older, the old couple began to interact with them for their grandchildren's sake. Unexpectedly, this woman persisted in her ways and even attempted to interfere in their grandchildren's marriage, which was beyond their endurance.
"Let's go." Li Limei felt like a thorn in her back under the old man's sharp gaze, especially in front of the children. She was embarrassed for a moment and stood up to look at Gu Lingfeng.
Watching his son's hesitant and cowardly look, the old man sighed inwardly. This son is such a loser. He's decent at work, but the moment he sees Li Limei, he becomes like this. He doesn't know what kind of drug Li Limei gave him to make him so devoted to her. His IQ seems to be zero when he meets Li Limei. He really raised this son in vain.
The old couple didn't look at them. They didn't want to see their two grandchildren in trouble. They didn't even finish their meal and went upstairs.
