Before the little girl could figure out a solution, one day when she came home from school, several strangers came to her house.
They were a pair of kind-looking elders, and two uncles and aunts who looked a lot like Uncle Gu.
“Little Zhou Xiaonian, I am your Uncle Gu’s mother, and he is your Uncle Gu’s father,” Gu’s mother said. “We want to talk to you about how to make your Uncle Gu your father.”
Zhou Xiaonian looked at the Gu family members warily, then rolled her eyes and said, "Hello, Uncle Gu's parents, and Uncle Gu's brother and sister. My name is Zhou Xiaonian. I like Uncle Gu very much, but whether he can be my father is not up to me. My mother has to decide."
"Oh, how come this little girl is so smart?" Gu Yunyan hugged her and said, "I love smart little girls. Hello, I'm Gu Yan. If my brother becomes your father, I'll be your aunt."
"Your brother isn't my father, so can't I call you aunt?" The little girl was precocious. "Aunt Yunyan, you're so pretty."
Gu Yunyan liked her even more.
Gu's parents also adored her and stopped paying attention to Gu Yunzheng, spending all their time playing with the little girl.
Liang Guiying was about to kill a chicken to cook for the guests when Gu's mother smiled and said, "Sister Guiying, we've already been very impolite to come uninvited today, how could we let you cook? I brought some people with me, so let them do the cooking. We should just have a good chat. Let me tell you, I felt an instant connection with you the moment I saw you, as if we'd known each other for lifetimes..."
The Gu family brought a cook and a nanny, and the ingredients were well prepared, making them look very professional and hygienic. After Liang Guiying pointed out the pots, pans, and utensils and their locations, she went to chat with Gu's mother.
The Gu family was very open and frank, revealing their family's wealth right away.
Their family has served in the military for generations, and several generations of their ancestors were revolutionary figures, both politically and professionally competent. In a way, their situation is similar to that of Zhou Yue's father's side.
Gu's mother said, "Yun Zheng has never liked to talk since he was a child, and he thinks everyone is an idiot. But now when he talks about Zhou Yue, he can talk non-stop... I thought he didn't like women, but now I know that he doesn't dislike women, but rather he likes outstanding and strong women, even women who are more outstanding than himself."
Liang Guiying listened to Gu's mother with a smile, without interrupting. After Gu's mother finished speaking, she asked, "Have you been to the Zhou family?"
“No.” Mrs. Gu shook her head. “You are Zhou Yue’s mother, so we are definitely here to propose marriage to you.”
"Actually, I'm not Zhou Yue's mother, I'm her former mother-in-law. You don't mind?"
"Does it make a difference? If you treat her well and she recognizes you as her mother, then we will recognize you as our mother too. Actually, as long as the two children are compatible, we, the Gu family, will not have any objections. We are just worried that Zhou Yue will find Yun Zheng lacking in romance and not interesting enough, and that we are afraid of losing points with Zhou Yue, which is why we rushed over."
Gu's mother blinked. "Sister Guiying, do you think our family can be a good match for Yunzheng?"
Liang Guiying laughed loudly.
This is more than just capable; it's absolutely incredible!
Liang Guiying said, "Mother Gu, thank you for coming. I understand your attitude, but relationships and marriage are ultimately a matter between the two children, and I shouldn't interfere too much. Besides, Zhou Yue has been hurt before, and Yun Zheng may have to put in more effort to give her the confidence to step into marriage again. But if Yun Zheng or the Gu family feels that they can't afford to delay, then I can only apologize. Zhou Yue has suffered too much, and I just want her to have a peaceful life for the rest of her days."
“Sister Guiying, we understand. We’re just here today to get acquainted with the family. You don’t need to feel too burdened. If Zhou Yue doesn’t agree, then it’s definitely Yun Zheng’s problem. Zhou Yue is so good and outstanding; it’s already great that she’s willing to give Yun Zheng a chance.”
When Zhou Yue returned, she saw the two sets of parents chatting happily.
She only glanced at Gu Yunzheng before interacting with the Gu family in a natural and generous manner.
Gu Yunzheng's heart sank.
He said yesterday that he wouldn't force her to accept him, but today his parents came straight over.
Zhou Yue was having a lively conversation with his parents, so Gu Yunzheng could only pull his younger siblings outside to ask, "Why did you suddenly come here?"
