The old lady was also very happy.
She was very satisfied with Wu An's performance, even pleasantly surprised.
On his first visit, he showed no timidity whatsoever and even managed to get Gu Jianfa under his thumb.
Especially since I was drinking just now.
He spoke eloquently and persuasively, leaving Gu Jianfa completely unable to keep up.
To put it bluntly, Wu An was simply treating Gu Jianfa like a fool, making a fool of him.
Gu Jian was found fast asleep under the table, muttering nonsense like "I'm going to turn things around and win big money."
If Wu An can control Gu Jianfa now, he'll have him completely under his thumb in the future.
It's said that a mother-in-law's love for her son-in-law grows stronger with each passing year, not to mention the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren.
Most importantly, she could only feel at ease entrusting her precious granddaughter to someone like this.
In fact, Wu An was deliberately putting on a show.
He knew that the old lady loved Gu Anran the most and was most worried about whether Gu Anran could find a good husband.
Then he had to let the old lady know that he was not only a good man, but also someone who could protect Gu Anran.
He had been thinking about how to perform from yesterday until this morning on his way here, and the moment Gu Jianfa appeared, he immediately had an idea.
This perfect tool came to us willingly.
He naturally accepted it with a smile.
It's perfectly normal that Gu Jianfa couldn't beat him.
He had been out in the world for over a decade, and his life experience was not much less than that of Gu Jianfa, who was over 40.
Unfortunately, he was actually a junior.
When the younger generation offers a toast, how can Gu Jianfa, as an elder, refuse to drink?
Furthermore, knowing Gu Jianfa's character inside and out, he naturally had no respect for his elders whatsoever.
Getting Gu Jianfa drunk would be an easy task.
Looking at the smiles on Gu Anran and the old lady's faces, one has to admit that Gu Jianfa is quite a useful tool.
We can use this to our advantage later, constantly increasing the "old lady's" favorability.
At this moment.
The old lady kicked Gu Jianfa with her foot: "Get up and go home."
Gu Jianfa grunted twice, crawled out from under the table, and after taking only two steps, he collapsed against the door frame.
Seeing this, Wu An asked, "Grandma, should we help him to bed?"
“No need.” The old lady said with a year’s worth of disgust, “There’s no bed for him in this house.”
"Just let him lie on the ground."
“If it weren’t for the fact that he’s sick and we’d have to pay for his medicine, I would have made you take him outside and let him stand in the rain.”
Seeing that the old lady's demeanor didn't seem to be faking it, Wu An couldn't help but smile slightly: "I'll listen to you."
Seeing this, he finally felt completely relieved.
fine.
The Gu family's situation wasn't as bad as he had imagined; the old lady's heart was still with Gu Anran.
Gu Jianfa was able to commit such heinous acts simply because he was the old lady's only son and had the backing of relatives with the surname Gu, not because the old lady favored or doted on him.
Having realized this, Wu Ansong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he could now confidently and boldly plot against Gu Jianfa.
The old lady really didn't care whether Gu Jianfa lived or died. She turned the chopsticks over and used the other end to pick up a meatball for Wu An, saying, "You've been drinking all this time and haven't eaten much."
"Eat it, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Gu Anran also picked up a meatball for Wu An, and then picked up one for herself, saying, "This is my grandmother's specialty. Try it; it's different from what others make."
"I'm only able to eat this today because of you."
Wu An didn't stand on ceremony.
I stuffed two meatballs into my mouth and kept praising how delicious they were.
Without Gu Jianfa, the dining table was filled with more laughter and the atmosphere became even more harmonious.
Wu An didn't even have time to pick up a few dishes from the table; the old lady mostly picked them up and put them in his bowl.
"Try this fish. Anran said you have a strong palate."
"And this dish, Anran said you can handle spicy food, so she specially added some chili peppers."
"besides……"
What could Wu An say? He could only accept it with a smile, praising how delicious it was. He had tried his best to eat, but the food in his bowl didn't decrease at all; in fact, it kept increasing.
He could feel the old lady's kindness towards him, even if it was a little excessive.
Such attention pleased Wu An.
Gu Anran was also overjoyed. Seeing her grandmother so satisfied with Wu An made her even happier than if she herself had been praised.
After the meal, Wu An helped Gu Anran clean up.
After tidying up, I went inside, and the old lady had already prepared tea.
After sitting down and having a cup of tea, Wu An took the box out of his pocket and placed it in front of the old lady, saying, "Grandma, it's like this, I went out to sea yesterday and came back late. I didn't have time to prepare any gifts."
"It was quite a coincidence. I brought back some oysters yesterday and found some pearls in them."
"I thought pearls were good for health and would be especially beneficial for the elderly."
"I bought the box in town; it looks nicer inside when it's filled with pearls."
As he spoke, he opened the box.
The old lady was surprised, not expecting Wu An to have made this preparation.
Gu Anran was also pleasantly surprised.
Girls are emotional, and she is certainly not a materialistic girl. This message was not because Wu An showed any extravagance, but because Wu An actually prepared a gift for the old lady, which made her feel that Wu An valued her and her family.
What does this tell us?
This shows that Wu An not only wanted to be with her, but was also willing to take responsibility.
She is intelligent.
Intelligent people naturally think more deeply, and the more she thought about it, the more moved she became.
At the beginning.
She was curious about Wu An, but as she got to know him better, she developed feelings for him. As they spent more time together, those feelings turned into affection.
By now, she feels that she has fallen in love with Wu An!
This love is almost overflowing!
She had also drunk some wine, and the way she looked at Wu An at that moment was sickeningly sweet.
If the old lady hadn't been there, she wouldn't have dared to imagine what impulsive things she might have done in that emotional state.
When the old lady came to her senses, she naturally refused to accept it and made all sorts of excuses.
"It's just a pearl, it's not worth much money, Grandma, please don't refuse."
"What are you saying? I may be old, but I'm not senile. It's rare for an oyster to produce pearls, let alone one this big. You should put it away quickly."
"Let's stop passing the buck. Look how anxious I am, I'm sweating buckets." Wu An sighed and continued, "I'm not very good with words, so please don't make things difficult for me."
Gu Anran also chimed in, "Grandma, please keep it. If you don't, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well at night and will keep thinking about it."
The old lady chuckled and joked, "She's not even married yet, and she's already speaking up for him."
"Alright, since you two have put it this way, I'll have to accept it."
As they were talking.
She took out a red envelope and placed it in Wu An's hand: "Take this too, it's what you should give as a gift on your first visit."
Wu An nodded happily.
He didn't care whether it was a lot of money or not, but receiving a red envelope from the old lady meant that she had already accepted him.
His efforts were worthwhile.
