Chapter 17 Grandma will take charge of things for you from now on.
Upon hearing this...
Su Niannian's face turned red, and she stammered, "What...what are you thinking about..."
Unexpectedly, Gu Yuheng leaned closer, bringing the two even closer together.
He whispered in her ear, "Grandma is here. She and Aunt Chen are at the door. She must have heard about what happened this afternoon and came to confirm."
Su Niannian glanced at the villa entrance out of the corner of her eye and, sure enough, saw Old Madam Gu being helped in by Aunt Chen.
Only then did I realize that I had misunderstood; the impure one was her.
"Yuheng...would you like to try the corn and pork rib soup I made for you?"
Gu Yuheng watched the girl's energetic performance and chuckled inwardly. Su Niannian was unlike any other woman he had ever met.
Su Niannian always gave him unexpected surprises, making him feel that she was very special.
His usual self-control was repeatedly shattered in front of Su Niannian.
"good."
As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly and placed a kiss on the girl's fair forehead with his slightly cool lips.
Then, under the little girl's astonished gaze, he said calmly, "This is also part of the acting. If you don't put yourself into it, how can Grandma believe you?"
Su Niannian was very naive and didn't notice the curve of his lips. She nodded blankly.
"Chen, look, these two kids are so close. They even show their affection while cooking. It makes this old woman envious."
Madam Gu, dressed in a black cheongsam with her gray hair styled in a bun, looked dignified and elegant as she spoke to the two of them with a look of satisfaction.
Aunt Chen said with a smile, "Madam, I have long advised you not to rush things. You can't rush matters of the heart. When the time is right, things will naturally fall into place."
The old lady said, "Who can argue with that?"
Gu Yuheng and Su Niannian came out of the kitchen.
Su Niannian politely greeted Madam Gu: "Hello, Grandma."
Madam Gu took her hand and led her to sit down on the sofa. She said with concern, "Niannian, I've heard about what happened this afternoon. It's all that brat's fault for not judging people well and hiring all sorts of idle people, which has made you suffer."
Su Niannian: "Grandma, I don't blame Gu... Yuheng. He defended me this afternoon and punished Zhang Mei. Please don't speak ill of him."
The uncle defended her so much that afternoon and even stood up for her. Su Niannian is a grateful person, so she wanted to speak up for him.
Madam Gu smiled and said, "You brat, see how much Niannian is protecting you? You'd better take good care of my granddaughter-in-law from now on, and don't let her suffer any more grievances."
Gu Yuheng sat to the side and said, "I understand, Grandma."
Old Madam Gu pretended to be angry and patted him on the back.
“Say a few more words and you’ll get tired. Just like your grandpa, you’re as quiet as a mute. If you had half of your dad’s eloquence, you wouldn’t have ended up an old bachelor.”
Su Niannian: "..."
Gu Yuheng sat up straight: "Grandma, I'm only twenty-nine years old, okay? Can you please stop emphasizing the word 'old'? It makes it sound like I'm a generation older than Niannian."
Is it really that big?
But considering the age difference between the two, it is indeed not small.
Madam Gu: "What do you think? If she's three years older, she'll be a full cycle older. In ancient times, that would be considered an old ox eating young grass."
Su Niannian couldn't help but look at Gu Yuheng with pity, and then secretly looked down at herself. She wasn't underdeveloped, and there wasn't that much of a difference between her and Gu Yuheng when they stood together.
Why do people say that Gu Yuheng is very old?
Because the old lady had arrived, Su Niannian added two more dishes to dinner.
She is very good at cooking home-style dishes; they not only look delicious and taste great, but she also knows how to balance nutrition.
The old lady picked up a piece of fresh and juicy steamed sea bass, tasted it, and praised it highly: "Niannian's cooking skills are even better than the chef in our family."
Receiving the old lady's approval, Su Niannian was naturally very happy and said with a smile, "Grandma, if you want to eat this in the future, just tell me and I can make it for you anytime."
The old lady beamed from ear to ear: "Grandma is going to be very lucky from now on."
After the meal, the maid came to clear the table, and Su Niannian, as was her habit, offered to help. However, the old lady called her to the sofa to chat with her.
The old lady held her hand and said, "Niannian, from now on, you can let the servants do all the chores. You are the mistress of this villa. If you put on too low a posture, the servants will think you are easy to talk to. People are all bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. So you have to establish your authority in front of them and not let them think you are good-tempered."
Su Niannian was perceptive; she knew the old lady's good intentions in saying those words—she was afraid that Su Niannian would be bullied by others again.
Her nose felt a little sore, and she couldn't help but think of her grandmother.
"Grandma, I've kept your words in mind."
Grandma Gu raised her hand and touched her head, saying kindly, "What a smart child. Don't be afraid in the future, Grandma will support you."
Looking at the old lady's kind and gentle face, Su Niannian suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
Madam Gu truly cared for me.
If she finds out later that her marriage to Gu Yuheng was just a temporary delaying tactic, will Old Madam Gu resent her?
Su Niannian dared not think any further.
Gu Yuheng was working in his study on the second floor, while Su Niannian was chatting with the old lady. Before they knew it, they had been talking for quite a while. They had thought that the old lady was just visiting temporarily.
But it was already nine o'clock, and the old lady still showed no sign of leaving.
After taking the blood pressure medication prepared by Aunt Chen, the old lady finally got up.
Su Niannian breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, the old lady said, "Chen, go and tidy up my room here. I love Niannian so much, I'm planning to stay here for a few days."
Su Niannian's heart leaped into her throat again.
If the old lady stays here, then she'll have to stay with Gu Yuheng tonight, otherwise the truth will be revealed.
The old lady urged, "Niannian, it's getting late, you should go back to your room and rest."
The scene from that night suddenly flashed into Su Niannian's mind, and her face flushed and her heart pounded, making her even more afraid to go. She still wanted to struggle a little.
"Grandma, let me take you back to your room and help you tidy up your bedding."
After saying that, Aunt Chen went upstairs without a word.
The old lady said, "Chen is gone. Niannian, you don't need to worry about her grandma anymore. Go and get some rest."
Unable to find an excuse, Su Niannian could only move like a snail, and under the watchful eye of the old lady, she went to Gu Yuheng's room.
She stood in front of the door and knocked, but no one answered.
Do you still work in the study?
She thought for a moment, then her fair fingers gripped the doorknob and slowly opened the door.
The moment the door opened, both the person inside and the person outside were stunned.
Gu Yuheng had a bath towel wrapped around his waist. When he came out of the bathroom, the towel was loose, revealing his firm abs and V-line. It was half-fallen off, barely covering his magnificent figure.
