"So Grandma wants to bring Qiao Xiyan's son, Qiao Yanshuo, back to the Gu family, but she doesn't know how to bring it up with Gu Sinian, so she wants me to talk to Gu Sinian."
Yan Yan nodded. As expected of a capitalist's daughter, she was indeed clever. Chatting with her was so pleasant; she understood everything immediately without needing lengthy introductions.
"We haven't figured out how to bring this up with Si Nian yet, but you can tell him to rest assured that he will always be our Gu family's grandson, and that will never change."
Su Ying felt uneasy, but Grandma Gu had already begun to show favoritism, which was understandable to Grandma Gu. However, she just felt that Gu Sinian was not worth it.
Now, in their minds, Gu Sinian has already been categorized as an outsider, and their hearts will only become more and more biased in the future.
Favoritism is normal when there is a blood relationship.
But what does this have to do with Gu Sinian? He's also a victim, so why should he bear all the blame?
Given how unpleasant this relationship is, let's stop seeing each other in the future and give each other some time to adjust.
"Grandma, let's try to have less contact between our two families in the future. There's nothing wrong with what you're doing, but we can't forget everything Qiao Xiyan did for us."
“Since you can’t let go, then hold on tight. You should know better than anyone how Qiao Yanshuo was born.”
"If it weren't for Qiao Yanshuo, Qiao Xiyan's grave would be overgrown with weeds by now."
"To tell you the truth, we can't forgive Qiao Xiyan... and her son. Every time we see him, we are reminded of those bad things."
Yan Yan was shocked that Su Ying would say such heartless words, "But that child is innocent?"
"He's not innocent. It was his mother's selfishness that brought him into this world. To be precise, if Qiao Xiyan hadn't wanted to live, would Qiao Yanshuo be so pitiful?"
"Today I'm giving the Gu family a choice: either choose Qiao Yanshuo or choose Gu Sinian."
Yan Yan's voice trembled as she spoke, "You're forcing us to make a choice."
Su Ying shook her head, "Don't put such a big label on me, I can't bear it."
"A person cannot have it all; they must make a choice, or they will get nothing."
"Actually, there's no need to choose. I know how your Gu family will choose. Gu Yanshuo is pitiful, but isn't Gu Sinian pitiful too?"
“Because of Li Yaxian’s selfishness, everyone was harmed. I know what you want to say, but these things have nothing to do with a ten-year-old child.”
"But when someone does something wrong, someone has to pay the price."
Yan Yan suddenly felt something blocking her throat, but she still managed to say the next words with all her might.
"Isn't it better for us to keep things as they are? It's also better for Gu Sinian, since we're family."
Su Ying shook her head. "No. It can never stay the same, because people's hearts are always biased..."
"The relationship changed the moment your Gu family learned of Gu Sinian's identity. Do you really think we can get along peacefully with Gu Yanshuo?"
"Don't be ridiculous, that's impossible. Actually, you all know that once this relationship is exposed, those who are related by blood and those who are not are fundamentally different."
"Actually, there's no need for me to act as a mediator. Let's separate for a while. Once you bring your child back and have something to focus on, whether Gu Sinian continues to spend time with you or not won't matter much anymore."
"Grandma, please take care of yourself... I have to go now."
"Wait! Do we really have to do this?"
"This is the best choice. Gu Sinian is strong, but he will also be sad. This is better for everyone. After all, a person's heart is very small and can not hold much."
No matter how much Yan Yan cried out behind her, Su Ying never stopped.
In her mind, if a relationship is difficult to maintain and exhausting, she will let go, letting go of the other person and letting go of herself.
Su Ying was afraid that Gu Sinian would rush to the hospital as soon as he finished his meeting.
Fortunately, she found out where Gu Sinian was having a meeting by asking Xiao Zhao. Instead of going back to evening self-study, she went to the place where Gu Sinian was having a meeting.
When the event ended, Gu Sinian saw Su Ying standing next to the military green jeep from afar. He quickly walked over, ran to Su Ying, and hugged her tightly.
What are you doing here?
"I only found out you were having a meeting here by asking your bodyguard."
Gu Sinian was unaware of what had happened. The first thing he did upon seeing Su Ying was to ask about his grandmother's condition.
"How is Grandma? Why did she suddenly faint?"
Su Ying looked around and realized it wasn't appropriate to talk about these things on the roadside. "Let's talk in the car," she said.
Gu Sinian didn't realize what was wrong and felt that his wife's behavior was a bit off.
"Okay then. Let's get in the car first... Can you stay with me tonight?"
Su Ying nodded in agreement without hesitation, "Sure. I've already asked for leave from evening self-study tonight. I was originally planning to go visit my grandma, but..."
Seeing that his wife was not in a good mood, Gu Sinian frowned deeply. "Has something happened?"
"Let's go to the guesthouse."
Gu Sinian nodded and instructed Xiao Zhao to drive to the guesthouse and book two rooms.
"Then, sir... you all rest first... I'm right next door... just call me if you need anything."
Gu Sinian nodded, indicating that Xiao Zhao could go back to her room to rest. He hadn't seen his wife for a while and wanted to spend some time with her.
As soon as he entered the room, he pinned his young wife against the wall and pressed his lips directly against hers, while Su Ying used one hand to prevent the two from having any intimate contact.
Gu Sinian was a little disappointed that he didn't get to kiss her. It seemed he was right; his little wife was hiding something.
"What's wrong?"
"I have something to talk to you about."
Gu Sinian looked at Su Ying with a wronged expression, "We haven't done that for over a month, so why don't we talk about it after we're done?"
Just as Gu Sinian's kiss was about to land, Su Ying dodged his touch and looked at him very seriously.
"If you're still in the mood after you finish listening, I'll stay with you."
This was the first time Gu Sinian had seen his wife with this expression, and he had a bad feeling.
He pulled her to sit on the bed. "What's wrong? You seem a bit off tonight. Did something happen to Grandma?"
This was all Gu Sinian could think of. After his grandmother's accident, he had asked Xiao Zhao to contact his wife and ask her to go see his grandmother.
But after seeing his grandmother, his expression and demeanor were not quite right.
Su Ying shook her head. "These things have nothing to do with me, but they have a lot to do with you."
Seeing his young wife with this expression for the first time, he felt very uneasy. "What happened?"
Su Ying took the news she heard from Grandma Gu and recounted it to Gu Sinian.
After hearing this, the man was completely stunned. "So it's understandable that Li Yaxian doesn't love me. My parents are someone else, and they sold me for money."
"I used to feel sorry for myself because I didn't have my mother's love, but now I realize that my life was stolen from Qiao Xiyan, the person I hate the most."
