Ye Wanying isn't stupid; in fact, apart from Aunt Gu, there wasn't a single stupid person present.
Who can't understand the interaction between this couple?
Meimei pursed her lips twice. As her sister-in-law, she had tried to advise him a lot when he was young, but in the end, he wouldn't listen. Many times, she ended up pleasing neither side.
Whose interests are they all trying to help?
You're so clueless!
To this day, Meimei hardly cares about it anymore, unless it's absolutely necessary.
No one intended to bother figuring out what Wei Jikun meant; after all, that's just how he's always been—he's never been on the same page as the Gu family.
While they weren't exactly wary of this son-in-law, they couldn't exactly be completely open with each other anymore.
No one spoke; even the old man didn't want to talk to his own daughter at this moment.
Sigh, it's all my fault for spoiling this little girl too much when I was young. I spoiled her so much that she couldn't distinguish right from wrong and was foolishly led by the nose...
Whose fault is it?
Are we to blame our deceased spouse?
The old man never thought that way. In his early years, he was away leading troops in battles all year round, and his wife took care of everything at home, big and small, and also had to raise several children. It was so hard for her, and the old man couldn't bear to blame his wife for spoiling their youngest daughter.
Besides, didn't I also dote on my youngest daughter too much in my younger days?
So if anyone's to blame, it's themselves!
It's my fault as a father for not teaching my daughter to be smarter. Now, I can't say much more. I'll just let things be. Anyway, my daughter is married and has her husband's family to take care of her.
Ye Wanying naturally saw the expressions on everyone's faces and guessed what was going on. She remained silent, waiting for her aunt to continue.
No, to be precise, it was the uncle's specific meaning!
I'm really curious, did the old man's trip to S Province really bother him in any way?
Otherwise, why would you try to stop it?
At her husband's prompting, Gu Minglan indeed started to act without thinking: "Dad, S Province is so far away, and there's nothing fun about it. If you want to go to Yingying's hometown to see your in-laws, we can bring them to Kyoto. There's no need for you to travel so far, is there?"
The old man finished eating, put down his chopsticks, and called out earnestly:
"Lanlan~"
How many years has it been since the old man called the children by their childhood nicknames?
Gu Minglan was also somewhat stunned, wondering:
"dad?"
The old man leaned back in his chair, his aged face covered in wrinkles, giving off an indescribable feeling:
"Old man, do you remember when our whole family went to X Province at the beginning of last year? Compared to S Province, X Province is more than one or two times farther away, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Minglan immediately shut her mouth, a hint of unease appearing on her face.
At the beginning of last year, the entire Gu family did indeed make a trip to Province X.
The reason is that it is Gu Minglan's father-in-law's 50th birthday, but because he is working in X province, he cannot return to the capital for the time being. Although the birthday party is not held in a grand manner, the family members cannot not go.
Logically speaking, it was already enough that Gu Lao Er (Gu the Second) was going to bring his wife and son to the Gu family, which was already giving face to the in-laws. However, Gu Minglan and her husband persuaded the old man to come over after much persuasion.
Ultimately, it's just about showing off in front of relatives.
But unexpectedly, last year, although the old man was not yet eighty, he was only a year younger, and he still took a train for more than half a week to X province to save face for his daughter.
