After the Xia family relatives left, Xia Liang tidied up the living room, then sat on the sofa with a satisfied smile on her face. She said to Gu Yanxiao and Gu Yunxi, "Your great-grandfather's family has produced someone quite capable."
Gu Yanxiao sat down next to Xia Liang and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Xia Mingyang seems smart and promising."
Gu Yunxi joined the conversation: "My cousin Xia Mingyang also made a very good impression on me. He is very polite and has a great passion for learning."
Xia Liang smiled and continued, "I heard that he always had excellent grades in his school back home. The fact that he was able to get into a school in Beijing shows that he is indeed capable. I hope he can continue to study hard here and achieve great things in the future."
Gu Yanxiao added, "It is something to be proud of our entire family that the Xia family has such an outstanding young person."
Xia Liang's tone revealed his pride in his nephew and his expectations for the future of the family: "Yes, it is what we older generation most hope to see that the younger generation of our family can be successful."
Gu Yunxi said, "Mom, if my cousin Xia Mingyang needs any help in the capital, we will do our best."
Xia Liang nodded: "This child is very independent, and I believe he can handle his studies and life on his own. However, as family members, we still need to care for him and provide him with the necessary support."
Although this family gathering has ended, it has deepened the bonds between family members and filled Xia Liang with hope for the family's future. Xia Mingyang's visit was not just a simple visit, but a symbol of the new generation of the family, carrying the family's expectations and dreams. Xia Liang and the other members of the Gu family are willing to provide support and encouragement for the growth and development of the younger generation, hoping that they can continue to move forward on their future path and realize their own value.
Gu Yunxi noticed that Xia Liang's smile seemed to hide some complex emotions, which puzzled her. She decided to ask her mother directly to find out the truth about the family relationships.
Gu Yunxi found a suitable moment and asked softly, "Mom, although you've been very enthusiastic today, I sense that the relationship between you and my uncles might not be as close as it seems on the surface. Is there something between us that I don't know about?"
Xia Liang was slightly taken aback when she heard her daughter's question, then sighed. She knew it was time for Gu Yunxi to know some things.
Xia Liang held Gu Yunxi's hand and said earnestly, "Yunxi, you are very observant. Indeed, I am not particularly close to your cousins. There are some historical reasons for this, as well as our respective life choices. We don't have any deep-seated hatred, but because we have lacked communication for a long time, our relationship has naturally become somewhat distant."
Gu Yunxi listened attentively, sensing the helplessness and sincerity in her mother's words: "Mom, I understand. But no matter what, we're family. If they need help, we'll still do our best, right?"
Xia Liang nodded, a hint of comfort in her eyes: "Yes, Yunxi. Blood ties cannot be changed, and of course we will do our best to help them. However, I hope you can understand that family relationships are not always as simple as they seem to outsiders."
Gu Yunxi hugged Xia Liang to show her understanding and support: "Mom, I understand you. I will respect your feelings and do my best to maintain harmony in the family."
This conversation gave Gu Yunxi a deeper understanding of family relationships and made her realize the complexities within the family. She decided to handle family relationships more carefully in the future and to do her best to maintain the unity and harmony of the family.
For Xia Liang, her daughter's understanding and support warmed her heart. She knew that although family relationships could be complex at times, no difficulty was insurmountable as long as family members could understand and support each other. This family gathering, while revealing some deep-seated family issues, also provided the Gu family with an opportunity to strengthen communication and enhance understanding.
Gu Yunxi was shocked when Xia Liang brought up the past. She listened attentively as her mother recounted that unknown history, her heart filled with sympathy and understanding.
Xia Liang recalled the situation back then, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Yunxi, when I had just started working, your aunt had already set her sights on me, trying to influence my work through various means, and even trying to take my position. At that time, I was just starting out, and facing such pressure and challenges was indeed very difficult."
Gu Yunxi held Xia Liang's hand tightly, expressing her support: "Mom, you must have gone through a lot of difficulties. I really can't imagine how you got through it."
Xia Liang sighed and continued, "Back then, I had to work even harder to prove my abilities. At the same time, I also learned how to maintain my stance and principles in complex interpersonal relationships. Although that experience was difficult, it also taught me a lot of valuable life lessons."
Gu Yunxi responded with emotion, "Mom, you are really strong. You have never mentioned these things to us, but I know they must have had a great impact on you."
Xia Liang smiled, her eyes revealing her trust in her daughter: "Yunxi, I'm telling you all this so you can understand some of the complexities within the family. I don't want you to repeat the same mistakes, but rather I hope you can have enough wisdom and courage when facing difficulties and challenges."
Gu Yunxi nodded earnestly: "I will remember your words, Mom. I will also try my best to become a strong and independent person so that you won't worry."
This conversation gave Gu Yunxi a deeper understanding and appreciation of her mother. She realized that family relationships are not always harmonious, but rather full of challenges and trials. At the same time, she was also proud to have such a strong and wise mother.
Xia Liang's candid sharing not only allowed Gu Yunxi to understand her family's past but also deepened the trust and understanding between mother and daughter. Gu Yunxi knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered in the future, she could rely on her mother's experience and support to bravely face and solve them. For Xia Liang, being able to share her experiences with her daughter and receive her understanding and support was also a great comfort and source of strength.
