Chapter 45 Mrs. Gu
But the words Gu Ning added later relieved her psychological burden.
Her biggest wish is that Gu Ning lives a happy life. Since Gu Ning wants her to do so, she will listen to her.
She would not do nothing, but now that the conditions were met, she could try a different approach.
"Okay, then Mom will take advantage of this sick leave to quit her job. From now on, Mom will rely on you." Gu Man compromised and said jokingly. She was willing to do it without feeling reluctant at all.
"Well, in the future, we mother and daughter will live a better life." After convincing Gu Man, Gu Ning felt completely relieved.
Gu Xiaoxiao's home is in a mid- to high-end residential area near the city. It is a duplex with five bedrooms and a living room, covering 200 square meters. The decoration is quite luxurious.
After the evening self-study, Gu Xiaoxiao returned home and immediately complained to Lin Lijuan: "Mom, Gu Ning said he would not apologize to me."
Lin Lijuan is already forty-five or forty-six years old, but because she is rich and has taken good care of herself, she now looks like a person in her thirties.
Lin Lijuan has a son and a daughter. The eldest son, Gu Qingyun, is 20 years old and is currently a sophomore studying medicine at Capital Medical College.
The daughter is Gu Xiaoxiao.
"What? How can she be so bold? Isn't she afraid that I will never let her go?" Lin Lijuan was shocked when she heard this.
"She is so bold now! She even had a fight with Haoran at school today!" Gu Xiaoxiao said, but she did not say that Haoran recognized Gu Ning as the boss, because she did not want Gu Ning to become outstanding in the eyes of his family, so she only wanted to discredit Gu Ning.
"What?"
Hearing this, Lin Lijuan was shocked again, shocked at how courageous Gu Ning was.
Lin Lijuan naturally knew who Hao Ran was, and because he had a good family background, she had asked Gu Xiaoxiao to get along well with him, maybe it would be helpful in the future! But she also knew Hao Ran's personality, and he was not someone who was easy to approach.
After being surprised, Lin Lijuan smiled, and she gloated: "Isn't this good? She offended Hao Ran, isn't she destined to suffer?"
Lin Lijuan didn't think that Gu Ning could beat Hao Ran, so she concluded that Gu Ning deserved to be beaten.
“But…” Gu Xiaoxiao almost told Hao Ran that he recognized Gu Ning as the boss, but fortunately she held back: “But, if Gu Ning doesn’t apologize to me, I won’t accept it.”
"What happened? What happened to Gu Ning?" Before Lin Lijuan could say anything, an old woman's voice came first.
Then, an old woman in her early sixties walked out of the aisle.
She is Gu Ning’s grandmother, Old Lady Gu.
Because old lady Gu is well taken care of, she is still energetic even though she is in her sixties.
Not only does Old Lady Gu have feudal ideas and favor boys over girls, she is also strong-willed. However, when faced with the powerful Lin Lijuan, she is still afraid and dares not go against her.
Although Lin Lijuan is also strong, as long as Mrs. Gu does not interfere in her affairs, she will not be unreasonable to Mrs. Gu.
So in general, Mrs. Gu and Lin Lijuan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, still respect each other.
Because Mrs. Gu went to her relatives' house yesterday and just came back today, she didn't know about Gu Ning and Gu Xiaoxiao.
"Grandma, Gu Ning hit me with a plate and beat me in the cafeteria yesterday. I asked her to apologize, but she said she would not apologize. I can't accept this." When Gu Xiaoxiao saw Grandma Gu, she immediately started crying.
"What? Gu Ning actually threw a plate at you and beat you. This bastard is too bold." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu was immediately furious.
If we were to say who Old Lady Gu hated the most, it would be Gu Ning, because Gu Ning's existence was a disgrace to the Gu family, a bastard whose father wasn't even known.
Therefore, Gu Ning had reason to hate Old Madam Gu, because since he was a child, Gu Ning had always been called a bastard by Old Madam Gu.
"Yes! Grandma, can you kick them out of the old house?" Gu Xiaoxiao said pitifully, but there was a flash of resentment in her eyes.
“This…” Upon hearing this, Old Madam Gu looked embarrassed. She hated Gu Ning and disliked Gu Man, but she had never thought of driving them out of the old house.
After all, no matter how much she hated Gu Man, she was still her daughter and she had some sympathy for her.
Of course, the main reason was that when the old man died, he told her to let Gu Man and Gu Ning live in the old house and not to drive them away. Otherwise, he would come back to find her even as a ghost.
The older generation had feudal ideas and believed in superstitions. In order to seek peace of mind, Mrs. Gu never thought of driving Gu Man and her daughter away.
Seeing that Mrs. Gu looked embarrassed, Gu Xiaoxiao knew that this method might not work, so she immediately changed her words: "Grandma, then you ask Gu Ning to apologize to me. As long as I am satisfied, I will let her go."
"Okay, I'll call Gu Ning right now and ask her to apologize to you." This time, Mrs. Gu did not refuse. As she spoke, she immediately took out her cell phone.
However, because Mrs. Gu hated Gu Ning, she didn't remember her number, so she could only call Gu Man.
Because it was only around ten o'clock and not too late, Gu Ning and Gu Man had not gone to bed yet and were watching TV.
At this time, Gu Man's cell phone rang. It was Old Mrs. Gu calling.
As soon as Gu Man answered the phone, before she had time to say anything, she heard the angry roar of Mrs. Gu from the other end of the line: "Gu Man, how did you teach your daughter? She actually dared to hit Xiaoxiao with a plate and beat her. A bastard is a bastard, she has no manners at all. You ask Gu Ning to apologize to Xiaoxiao until Xiaoxiao is satisfied."
The tone is completely commanding and there is no room for resistance.
Because the other party's voice was too loud, Gu Ning could hear it clearly. Being wrongly accused, Gu Ning didn't care, but the word "bastard" made Gu Ning's face suddenly darken, and anger appeared in his eyes.
Gu Man knew that this matter was not Gu Ning's fault, so she felt aggrieved when she heard that Gu Ning was wrongly accused.
Then the word "bastard" came out of Old Lady Gu's mouth, which hurt Gu Man's heart even more.
Although Gu Man is weak, she is also a protective person. She can tolerate being bullied, but she will not allow Gu Ning to be bullied.
But this time, Gu Man completely exploded, almost crying and roaring: "Mom, Ningning is not a bastard, she is my daughter, even if you don't like her, don't scold her like this. Also, Ningning didn't hit Xiaoxiao at all, and Xiaoxiao didn't get hurt by the plate incident. Why do you only believe Xiaoxiao's one-sided words! Besides, even if Ningning really hit Xiaoxiao, so what? Xiaoxiao was the first to insult Ningning, why should Ningning apologize!"
Mrs. Gu was obviously also shocked by Gu Man's reaction. She was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. Although she was surprised, she was more angry: "Gu Ning is a bastard. My Gu family will never recognize such a granddaughter. Gu Ning must apologize to Xiao Xiao, otherwise you will get out of the old house."
