Chapter 126 A Request from My Father-in-Law
When they were about to go back, Father Gu actually found Bai Susu before Gu Beixiao and Grandpa Gu showed up.
"Susu girl, can you help your uncle?"
Mr. Gu shamelessly found Bai Susu and asked for help.
Although Bai Susu had some guesses in her mind, she still thought that this was Gu Beixiao's father and an elder, so she nodded and agreed to let him speak first.
Looking at Bai Susu's expression, grandma was prepared to refuse this father-in-law's request if it was too much.
"I believe Xiaobei has not hidden anything about our family affairs from you, right? Then you must know that I want to divorce his mother, right?"
Bai Susu was embarrassed by Gu's father's straightforwardness.
Divorce is a sensitive topic that is still a bit too advanced in this era. At least Bai Susu still doesn't know how to deal with it.
Fortunately, my grandma is here, so I am not afraid of these.
"Just say what you want to say. Why make things difficult for the child?"
Grandma's words made Gu's father realize that this was not Gu Beixiao, not his family, but someone who came to ask others to do something for him.
So he changed his attitude and adjusted his tone: "I hope you can tell Xiaobei so that he can convince his mother not to make trouble. At this point, divorce is the best option!"
Bai Susu: ...
How could she say such a thing?
Grandma also looked sullen: "Why would you embarrass your child with something between you two?"
Father Gu smiled bitterly, "Auntie, it's not that I want to embarrass the children. It's really that my daughter-in-law, you know the situation, is completely unreasonable. She used to be somewhat sensible, but now she wants to harm the two children. Although the children she gave birth to are not my children, they are also two lives, right?"
They didn't want to tell outsiders about this family scandal, but considering the relationship between Bai Susu and Gu Beixiao, and the fact that grandma knew about their family affairs, Gu's father did not hide it.
As the Gu family gradually recovered over the years, Mother Gu may have realized that Father Gu really didn't want to live with her, so she blamed all the faults on the two children, believing that if she hadn't brought back the two children, they and their husband would not have been able to continue.
In fact, Gu's father had never thought about divorce before, even though he brought back a child.
But accidents always happen. When Gu's father reached middle age, he suddenly realized that instead of maintaining a superficial relationship with Gu's mother, it would be better to separate now. At least he could give an explanation to the woman behind him.
The most important thing is that Mr. Gu found that his eldest son seemed to not care about the relationship between him and his mother at all.
This made Gu's father want to separate even more, but Gu's mother didn't want to.
After returning from the countryside, she realized the price she had to pay for her wrong behavior. Her family members’ opposition and her two children constantly reminded her of her betrayal.
Gu's mother, who had once been pampered, could not stand this gap. She went from being indifferent to Gu Beixiao to now frantically wanting to find a sense of existence through Gu Beixiao and even wanting to interfere in his marriage.
Now, in order to stay in the Gu family for a long time, he even wants to kill his two biological children and try to erase all traces of their existence.
Mr. Gu was so anxious because he was afraid that Mother Gu would go crazy.
After listening to what Father Gu said, Bai Susu and her grandmother fell silent.
It seems a bit scary to be so crazy.
"It's no use telling other people about your relationship. You two should just communicate properly!"
The grandmother spoke first. She didn't want her granddaughter to be involved in this matter. No matter what the result was, she might be accused of meddling in other people's business and might even be criticized.
Father Gu's face darkened. He knew that it was a bit too much to let Bai Susu and Gu Beixiao talk about this matter, but he really had no other choice.
"I don't have any other ideas now, just to live a peaceful life. If I get divorced, I will have more energy to take care of Xiao Ming!"
Father Gu also tried to ask Bai Susu to help, but unfortunately at this time Gu Beixiao and Grandpa Gu came over, and when they saw Father Gu here, they both looked unhappy.
"What are you doing here?"
Grandpa Gu looked very unhappy, and there was dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Father Gu.
The old man was already uncomfortable with the family tree issue before, and now this troublesome son has appeared here, and is looking for his grandson's wife who hasn't even married yet. He has a bad feeling.
Father Gu did not explain, but just put the gift he brought on the car: "I was afraid you were not prepared, so I sent it to you!"
This reason is particularly far-fetched. He brought the gifts back not to his own son, but to the place where his future daughter-in-law lives. Who would believe it?
But it's just an excuse after all.
Mr. Gu couldn't get anything out of him, so he told him to get out.
Because Gu Beixiao was driving the car on the way back, and the car was big enough for the four of them, the security guy drove a separate car at the back.
"Xiaobai, tell grandpa what's going on! My troublesome son can't just come to give gifts!"
Grandpa Gu still knows his son very well.
Bai Susu was confused about what to say, but grandma still told her father what he had said.
"Your family should handle your own affairs. My granddaughter hasn't even entered your house yet, and you're dealing with this kind of thing. If someone hears about it, I don't know what they would think of my Su Su!"
Grandma's tone was bad, which made Grandpa feel embarrassed.
This kind of thing is indeed not suitable to be approached by Bai Susu, as he was also angry about his son's seizure.
"I will take good care of that bastard. Susu, please don't make trouble. Stay out of adult matters!"
Bai Susu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Mr. Gu said.
It’s really hard to manage.
Although Gu Beixiao was driving, he still spared some time to hold Bai Susu's hand, "I'll take care of it, don't worry about it!"
Bai Susu was afraid that her grandmother and Grandpa Gu would see their little tricks, so she nodded with a red face.
She signaled to Gu Beixiao with her eyes not to be too obvious, since they were still in the same car.
Gu Beixiao originally just wanted to show that he cared, but when he saw Bai Susu's earlobes turned red, he still got a little excited.
The two elderly people behind them did not notice the two people's little actions. They were chatting, especially about the heartbreaking relationship between taking care of their parents.
Through the conversation, I learned about the crazy things that Gu's mother has done recently, and I couldn't help but be amazed.
"I'm telling you, this matter must be dealt with, otherwise I will cancel the engagement of our two children. It's so annoying to have such a mother-in-law!"
Grandma reminded Grandpa Gu: "I'll give you a week. If you can't handle it well, you'll have to deal with it yourself!"
Mr. Gu said, "It doesn't need to be that long, I will arrange it when I get back!"
What Mr. Gu didn't expect was that his daughter-in-law was obviously not prepared to give him peace of mind, and something happened as soon as they returned to the provincial capital.
It's still a big deal.
