Seeing that she seemed to have listened, Jiang Huai'an's tense heart seemed to relax.
"My mom is actually a really good person."
You'll understand once you get to know her better; she's always been sharp-tongued but kind-hearted, and doesn't have any bad intentions.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always been the best to me. Whatever I want, she will find a way to give it to me.
In his view, this would be no exception.
Gu Yanliu's eyes flickered. "You didn't answer my question directly."
Jianghuai An...
"As the younger generation, we should naturally be more accommodating to her."
But my mom is a reasonable person, and I believe that in time she will see your good qualities.
After all, you are a…
"I understand!" She breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes calm and without the last trace of emotion.
Smoothly? How do you make it smooth?
Should one not fight back when hit, or not talk back when insulted?
Reasonable? She didn't see it coming from him!
"What do you understand?" Jiang Huai'an's heart tightened, and he stared at her intently.
She turned around and looked at him with a smile. "Goodbye, Jiang Huai'an. I wish you happiness."
Then she turned and strode away, never looking back.
"Yanliu, don't go. I'll go and beg my mom again."
"I'll come back to you once I've sorted things out," he shouted at her retreating figure.
"No need, Jiang Huai'an, we won't see each other again!" Gu Yanliu waved his hand behind him, his voice filled with a sense of relief and satisfaction.
When she got home.
Her brother, sister-in-law, and niece were all sitting neatly at the table, waiting for her.
Smelling the aroma of food coming from inside, she looked relaxed and said, "I'm back!"
The two people inside exchanged a glance. "Let's eat first!"
After they finished eating, Gu Yanbai asked, "Tell me, what's going on with you? When did this start?"
Knowing he couldn't hide it from them, and seeing that they genuinely cared about him, Gu Yanliu didn't conceal anything and told them everything.
"What a jerk! Who do you think you are?"
Just because your family is from the provincial capital, does that make you so special? Whose family, if you trace their lineage back three generations, wasn't they all from the countryside?
After a few good days, they've forgotten who they are?
"Girl, don't be sad. We don't want this kind of family anymore. It's not that they look down on you, it's that we don't want them anymore."
Gu Yanbai was seething with anger, and he really wanted to teach them a lesson.
In contrast to him, Gu Yanliu was in an extremely good mood after eating and drinking his fill.
Now that things had come to this point, she was completely at peace. "Alright, brother, sister-in-law, this is all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore!"
"No, I can't swallow this. I'm going to find them." Gu Yanbai's eyes were sinister, and coldness surged within them.
This mother and son are really bullying people. Isn't it their son who was eager to do this?
Besides, it takes two to tango; instead of disciplining her own son, she comes here to berate the girl.
They really are picking on the weak; how dare they call themselves well-mannered?
What a joke!
"No, brother, let's leave it at that!"
They'll probably leave in the next day or two, and we'll never see each other again in this lifetime. Her anger flared up quickly, but it also subsided just as fast.
She was initially hesitant, but now she's free to agonize over it.
"Are you really not sad anymore?" Su Nianxue looked at her, her eyes filled with worry.
"Yes, it was a little bit at first. But now that we've talked about it, it's actually easier." Gu Yanliu wasn't embarrassed at all in front of her older brother and sister-in-law.
"Do you like him?" As soon as she said that, Su Nianxue regretted it.
"I like him!" she said frankly; she had never met a boy like him before.
He was refined and elegant, exuding a clean and scholarly aura.
He's completely different from boys from the countryside.
However, if this affection meant she would have to suffer for the rest of her life, she felt... she didn't like it that much anymore.
"However, although I have never eaten pork, I have seen pigs run."
I believe that marriage is not just a matter between two people, but a matter between two families.
If their family looked down on me from the start, and I still went after them, I'm afraid they'd despise me for the rest of my life.
Just like her sister, she threw herself into it without considering her family's advice, simply because she liked it.
But what happened? After suffering for so many years, not a single member of that family remembered her kindness.
This forced her to gradually extinguish that affection.
This is also why she has been hesitant. She does like Jiang Huai'an, but she also knows the gap between them, so she has never agreed to introduce him to her family.
"Yanliu, I think it's good that you think this way." Su Nianxue patted her hand reassuringly.
Despite her usual carefree and easygoing demeanor, she actually has a surprisingly insightful perspective.
Su Nianxue felt somewhat ashamed. If this had happened to her, she might not have been as insightful as Yan Liu.
"That's right. Grandpa and my brother raised me with great difficulty, not so that I would suffer in someone else's home."
"I'm not going to waste my time like that. I have to live a good life to do justice to them." Gu Yanliu held her head high, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"Yes, girl, we don't tolerate hardship!"
There are plenty of men in the world, I'll definitely find you someone better than him in the future." These words struck a chord with Gu Yanbai.
Although he didn't think Jiang Huai'an was that strong, it didn't stop him from using those words to comfort her.
"Alright, brother, you don't need to trouble yourself with this."
