Xu Yatong withdrew her hand and said coldly:
“Yuanyuan is still young and doesn’t understand, so we didn’t bring her out.”
Qin Yuehe's hand awkwardly remained in mid-air before she reluctantly lowered it.
"Tongtong, I know you harbor resentment, but so many years have passed. I am Yuanyuan's biological grandmother, and Zhengqing is Yuanyuan's father. You have to let Yuanyuan meet her relatives, right?"
The Xu family did everything in their power to protect Yuanyuan from the Zhou family.
Xu Yatong, in particular, did not want her daughter to know that her father was someone like Zhou Zhengqing.
"Auntie, my daughter's surname is Xu, and she has no relation to the Zhou family. Let's just skip meeting her."
Qin Yuehe said sadly, "Isn't it a bit too heartless of you to say that..."
Xu Yatong looked at Qin Yuehe with a calm expression, but a hint of hatred was faintly revealed in her eyes.
Back then, if Qin Yuehe hadn't instigated her to steal her household registration book and get a marriage certificate with Zhou Zhengqing, she wouldn't have suffered such a humiliating experience at her wedding.
She hated Qin Yuehe, and she also hated herself for being blinded by wealth and believing Qin Yuehe's sweet talk.
Now she's completely sober and knows who truly cares for her; she won't be fooled again.
"Say what you want," Xu Yatong said, her attitude growing even colder.

Qin Yuehe, of course, would not give up easily.
"Here's what we'll do, Tongtong. Over the years, our family has wronged you and Yuanyuan. If you let Yuanyuan meet us, we'll pay a large sum of child support. You decide how much."
Xu Yatong sneered.
Here we go again. Does she really think money can solve everything?
“Auntie, our Xu family is not short of money. Yuanyuan is living a good life and she is very happy now. I don’t want your family to disturb Yuanyuan’s happiness. As for child support, Auntie, don’t forget that Sister Hongmei gave birth to Xueyi for Zhou Zhengqing. She and her son are the ones who should receive the most compensation.”
Xue Hongmei was also badly deceived by Zhou Zhengqing back then.
Xue Hongmei still works as a nanny for the Xu family with Xue Yi, who is now an eleven-year-old boy.
With the help of the Xu family, the mother and son's lives have greatly improved, and the Xu family now treats them as family.
Although Xu Yatong and Zhou Zhengqing also had a past, it did not affect her relationship with Xue Hongmei.
Yuanyuan also enjoys playing with her older brother, Xue Yi.
Without Zhou Zhengqing, the world would be peaceful and serene.
After Xu Yatong finished speaking, she sat back down at the table and continued eating and drinking as usual, making Qin Yuehe feel very awkward.
Xu Yatong ignored her, so she had no choice but to walk away awkwardly.
Attending a funeral is already a somber experience, but running into Qin Yuehe only made Xu Yatong feel worse.
Not long after Qin Yuehe left, Zhou Zhengqing came over.
His gaze lingered on Shen Jingyan for a while, until Gu Zhiyun gave him a warning look, at which point he turned to Xu Yatong.
"Tongtong, may I speak to you in private?"
Xu Yatong picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks without even looking up.
Zhou Zhengqing came over and grabbed her arm: "Speak to my face. What do you mean by ignoring me like this?"
Xu Yatong angrily said, "Get away from me, don't touch me!"

She swung her arms quite a bit, which attracted the attention of many people around her.
Shen Jingyan stood up and protected Xu Yatong, saying, "Zhou Zhengqing, your grandfather's funeral has just ended. Be mindful of your behavior!"
Zhou Zhengqing looked at the face he both loved and hated, gritted his teeth fiercely, and turned away.
As soon as he sat back down in his seat, Zhou Lianjie reprimanded him with a dark face:
"What were you doing just now! This is your grandfather's funeral, and you have no sense of propriety at all. You're making a laughing stock of yourself!"
Zhou Zhengqing lowered his head sullenly, not saying a word.
Zhou Lianjie glanced in Gu Zhiyun's direction, then looked at her dejected son, and felt a surge of anger.
“Look at you, just like Gu Zhiyun, you’re both thirty. He has a family, a son, and got into the National Space Science Center before even finishing his PhD. And you? You went to the countryside with him, but you didn’t even get into university! You’re thirty and still a street urchin, a complete failure! How could I have raised such a good-for-nothing like you?”
Zhou Lianjie became increasingly angry as he spoke, and he couldn't even eat his meal.
Zhou Zhengqing was scolded and was full of complaints.
Every time Gu Zhiyun appears, Zhou Lianjie compares the two of them.
As long as Gu Zhiyun is around, he will be completely outclassed.
"And look at Yang Zinuo, he was sent to the countryside in the same batch as you, right? Even he's better than you, he got into a military university, became a sergeant, and even married Professor Xu's granddaughter! You're the only useless one!"
Zhou Lianjie then turned his attention to Yang Zinuo.
Seeing Gu Zhiyun and Yang Zinuo's successful careers and happy family life, Zhou Lianjie was furious.
He will be stepping down from his position as Chief Executive next year. He originally planned to let Zhou Zhengqing succeed him, but who knew that Zhou Zhengqing would be so disappointing!
She failed to get into university and finally managed to get a marriage proposal from the Xu family, but the marriage fell through because of her indecent behavior.
