Gu Tingzhi nodded.
Meng Fuyan immediately smiled, her smile radiant. She leaned into Gu Tingzhi's arms, looking up at him. "If you don't want to accept it, then don't. I know that the Gu family's current status and some of their wealth did come from your mother's side, but there's nothing we can do; they've already obtained it."
“I understand that you want to take those things back, but you are much richer than them now, so it doesn’t matter whether you get a share or not. If your mother and brother were still alive, they would definitely hope that you can live a good life, get married and have children as soon as possible, and preferably stay far away from the Gu family.”
“We have more wealth than we can spend in a lifetime, so we don’t need to worry about family matters anymore. Your grandparents were business people, and business has its successes and failures. Just consider it a failed investment. Why are we worrying about money now?”
"As for this hatred, you don't necessarily have to seek revenge against them because they're family! That whole family is no good, and if they're unlucky one day, it might affect you!"
Gu Tingzhi lowered his eyes and sighed, "It's hard to let go of something you've been holding onto for so many years all at once. Did I misunderstand something before?"
Meng Fuyan rolled over, lay on top of him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. Her bright little face was now filled with a warm smile, a warmth that Gu Tingzhi would never feel in the Gu family.
“I know you harbor resentment, so I will support whatever decision you make. I didn’t stop you from trying to put on an act in the Gu family and use their power before, because I could understand.”
"But now that you don't want to do it anymore, then I have to say it. Actually, it's really unnecessary. If I were you, I definitely wouldn't get involved with the Gu family. Otherwise, when we dismantle them, it would be difficult to go all out, lest their crimes implicate me."
“You have accumulated enough military merits now. You are the best among the younger generation. No one can compare to you. It’s not that you want to take advantage of the Gu family’s influence, but that the Gu family should take advantage of you. Without you, the younger generation of the Gu family is not capable and will become an empty shell in a short time. What are you doing messing around with these people?”
"The only advantage might be that if you return to the Gu family, the struggle will only be considered an internal family conflict, and outsiders won't interfere much. However, given your status, everyone knows that even if you don't acknowledge the Gu family, it's not much different from an internal family conflict."
Gu Tingzhi held the person in his arms and remained silent for a while, then realized that what she said made sense.
“I used to be resentful. If it weren’t for my mother, they wouldn’t have the good life they have now. I always felt that everything in that family should be mine and I had to take it back. Now that I don’t think that way anymore, I wonder if my mother would blame me.”
“No, she won’t,” Meng Fuyan said confidently. “She only hopes that you live well and live a happy and smooth life. As for revenge, if you have the ability, then take revenge. If you really don’t have the ability, then take good care of yourself. Anyway, she definitely doesn’t want you to suffer.”
Hearing her say that made Gu Tingzhi feel better and he thought things through. Indeed, the days he spent with her were the happiest, and only she could heal him.
"Then I won't make things difficult for myself. Anyway, I've already secured a job. Even if I fall out with the Gu family now, they can't do anything to me. As for the future, we'll talk about that later. Yanyan, shall we get married?"
A sweet feeling welled up in Meng Fuyan's heart, and she said with a smile, "Okay, I want to marry you too, and I want to have a baby."
Gu Tingzhi was stunned, then exclaimed in surprise, "Really? You're really willing to marry me and have a child right now? Does your father agree?"
Meng Fuyan smiled and played with the buttons on his chest. "My mother told me about this yesterday. She said that I'm of age and it's time for me to get married. She just thinks that the Gu family might not be very peaceful. She said that my father and the Gu family are not on the same side, but he admires you. If I really want to marry you, he won't object."
Gu Tingzhi was overjoyed. "Then it's settled. I'll stay away from the Gu family from now on and gradually let everyone know that I have a grudge against them and can't let go of what they did to my mother back then. I'll go and submit the marriage application now. I'll also ask my father-in-law for help so that the Gu family won't interfere."
Meng Fuyan laughed and said, "You'll have to talk to him yourself. If my dad isn't satisfied, there's nothing I can do!"
Gu Tingzhi pinched her little nose. "Leave this to me. I'll make sure my father-in-law is satisfied."
Once Gu Tingzhi made his decision, he didn't linger and hurriedly went to find Lu Guozhong.
The Gu family is trying to play hard to get now. Even if they eventually agree to his marriage with Yanyan, they will definitely make things difficult for him at first.
Now that he's not going through the Gu family anymore and is submitting his marriage application directly, it's inevitable that they'll try to stop him. With Lu Guozhong's help, things will be much better.
Besides, whether he's a member of the Gu family or not has nothing to do with whether he gets married or not. The era of arranged marriages is over. If Old Master Gu dares to interfere, he won't allow it.
Gu Tingzhi went to Lu Guozhong's office and talked for more than two hours before coming out.
Meng Fuyan didn't know the specifics of their conversation, but she knew that her father was clearly in a good mood when he came home for dinner that evening.
"Dad, what happened that makes you so happy?"
Lu Guozhong glanced at her and snorted, "I look down on the Gu family, but that kid was born into the Gu family. Now that he's willing to sever ties with the Gu family, of course I'm happy."
Meng Fuyan was also happy. "It's best if he can come to his senses. The Gu family went too far in the past, and he can't get over that hurdle in his heart. He wants to take back everything the Gu family has and wants to dominate the current Gu family, but he has forgotten about his own life."
"I'm so happy that he thinks this way now! Dad, you have to help! I've already snatched such a good son-in-law for you, you can't let him slip away."
