"Dad, you've also heard the rumors about Gu Huaien's background?" He Shenglong, the father, frowned, clearly agreeing with his father's statement. Although he didn't interfere in his mother and daughter-in-law breaking off their engagement with Gu Wanwan, he tacitly approved of it. After all, Gu Huaien and Gu Qiulin were the heads of the Gu family at that time, and he naturally didn't want Gu Wanwan's stain to tarnish his son's and the He family's reputation.
At that time, he never expected that the Gu family could make a comeback, and he never expected that Gu Wanwan, whom he did not think highly of, could stir up the storm in the capital and catch the five great families off guard. Even Old Zhao could not save his own daughter and son-in-law.
This is not simply a matter of luck. Moreover, he heard his son mention on the phone that Gu Wanwan's personality has changed drastically. The family's misfortunes have not defeated her; on the contrary, they have made her stronger. Even when she went to the countryside, she still managed to thrive. She made many great contributions by catching human traffickers, fighting enemy agents, and defusing bombs. She even opened a factory in the village, benefiting the local villagers.
The fact that the Gu couple were exonerated was all thanks to Gu Wanwan's hard work!
This time, the He family really misjudged him.
Gold does indeed shine.
“Mom, Jingyu, do you know what? I think Dad is right. We can’t judge Gu Wanwan with our old prejudices. Wenyan said she’s different from before. This time, Shuyan and Gu Yarou have done so much to target Gu Wanwan. Have they gained the upper hand? Gu Wanwan is now making money in the factory openly and honestly. The director of the Pigeon Tail Association there is someone she promoted. Do you still think she’s simple?”
Grandma He still didn't believe Gu Wanwan's achievements, only thinking that she was protected by the Gu family. "That's because of Old Master Gu. Gu Wanwan can do whatever she wants because she is the granddaughter of a meritorious official."
"What's wrong with Ya Rou? Didn't you two praise her highly before? Ya Rou is knowledgeable and has a wide network of connections, which is of great benefit to our He family. Moreover, that child is sweet-talking and knows how to coax people, unlike Gu Wanwan who is dull and boring. I won't stop Gu Wanwan from trying to win Wen Yan's heart. It would be her greatest honor to have the granddaughter of a meritorious official groveling to serve the He family and be my foot-washing servant."
"There's nothing I can do. Gu Wanwan is just born to be shameless. She loves my grandson to death. Believe me or not, she'll obey me with just one word. Didn't I bleed her dry back then?"
"Ya Rou is still the best. She can move between the upper and lower families. Maybe she will become the great heroine who makes the upper and lower families reconcile and clear up their past grievances in the future. It is a blessing for our He family to have such a good daughter-in-law. That Gu Wanwan is a complete jinx. Wen Yan doesn't like her at all. It's good that the engagement is broken off. We have to make room for Ya Rou."
In short, even if it were Gu Yarou's excrement, she would find it fragrant, no matter how crude the language was.
What the He family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law do best is compare Gu Wanwan and Gu Yarou, using Gu Wanwan's clumsiness to highlight Gu Yarou's perfection and competence.
"You still want the granddaughter of a meritorious official to wash your feet? Have you asked if Old Master Gu agreed? Gu Wanwan might not listen to Wen Yan anymore. I heard she's found a new boyfriend, a military officer, who's no less capable than Wen Yan." He Zhen thought his wife was being delusional and oversimplifying things. "Enemy states can't shake hands and make peace. Gu Yarou doesn't have that ability. In the future, Gu Yarou will probably only be popular among the lower five noble families."
