Early morning, at the Gu family's dining table
The female lead sat obediently by Granny Gu's side, eating without saying a word. She ate slowly, lowering herself as much as she could. She didn't want to attract anyone's attention to avoid another bloody scene.
And yet, there were people who were not as willing as the female lead.
Even though she was already very low-key, Gu Mu's mother still felt dissatisfied when she saw her expression.
"Eat well then, don't look like you're being bullied. Those who don't know anything will think that the Gu family mistreated you."
The female lead could clearly feel the dissatisfaction in Gu Mu's words, so she didn't say anything and only smiled.
Seeing the female lead act this way, Gu Mu's mother became extremely angry. She looked as if he had bullied her.
"Seeing you like this, you can tell that you don't know the rules of the Gu family." If you want to be the son's wife of the Gu family, you're not qualified at all. "I've seen a lot of women like you. I've only relied on the love of the male host for you. After that …"
"Eating is just a good meal, why are you blabbering on so much?"
The female lead didn't say anything, but that didn't mean that no one was speaking for her. Grandma Gu, who was sitting beside the female lead, couldn't stand her treatment of the female lead, so she couldn't help but speak up, "So what if she's of such status? How much of an eyesore? Wasn't his company in a crisis? Your character is also pretty good, you don't even know him yet how do you know him? Weren't you doing all sorts of things back then? Did I agree to let you in? If I make things difficult for you again and again, will you be able to enter the Gu household? "
After being grumbled at by Grandma Gu, Gu Mu's mother began to think less highly of the female lead.
"The present is different from the past. You just don't know how deep the hearts of young ladies are right now. You can't imagine what they're up to. Maybe they're thinking about our family property? If the company falls into a crisis, we'll get married. Then, what happens in the future? If the company gets better, won't the company divorce our male lead? "
Granny Gu didn't like the way Gu Mu acted at all. She was already well aware of what kind of person she was.
Therefore, he ignored her words.
Looking at the silent female owner sitting beside her, Granny Gu took off the bracelet on her wrist and handed it over to the female owner.
"Don't mind what others say, you are my selected granddaughter-in-law, so you will always be. Be good to the male lead, and don't pay attention to the gazes of others. "
Being cared for so much by Grandma Gu made the female lead feel a little touched. "Grandma, I understand. But this thing is too valuable, I can't accept it. "
"It's alright, take it." The female owner wanted to remove the bracelet, but Granny Gu held her wrist tightly, "I still have no reason to take back what I gave away. If you want to take it off, then just throw it away. "
After last night's conversation, the female lead knew that Grandma Gu was a straightforward person. Hearing this, she had no doubt that if she removed the bracelet, she would throw it away.
"Then I'll thank Grandma first. I'll keep the things temporarily. I came yesterday in a hurry and didn't bring any presents, so I'll make it up to you another day. "
"It doesn't matter." Grandma Gu smiled. "As long as you and the male lead are fine, I'll be satisfied." Try your best to give me a baby so I can have a baby. Your family is full, so I don't have any regrets. "
Upon seeing this, the female host wanted to cry.
Didn't all the old people want harmony? However, in this materialistic society, very few people had such thoughts. They only cared about their own interests and didn't care about the feelings of others.
The small commotion over breakfast did not affect the female host's mood in the slightest.
After the meal, he was taken away by the male lead before Gu Mu's mother could say anything else.
"How do you feel? Is there anything that makes it difficult for you? "
Hearing the male lead's question, the female lead smiled and shook her head, "Fortunately, your mother just thinks that I'm bankrupt and not fit to be with you. Your grandma likes me. Maybe she loves me. "
"Love the house?" Gu Benhen thought about his grandma's actions towards the female lead and smiled. "Maybe she really likes you. There's no room for love. My grandma is quite understanding."
"I can already feel it." The female lead said, raising the bracelet in her hand, "This thing is too valuable, I really can't accept it. "That …"
"Take it." The female lead's thoughts had long been seen through by the male lead. "My grandmother and I have the same attitude. If you give it to me, I can only throw it away. After all, it's not a gift."
Understanding the meaning behind the male lead, the female lead sighed, "Alright, I'll keep the things temporarily. We'll talk about the rest later."
After sending the female lead to the company, just as she was about to get off the car, the male lead grabbed her wrist, "Wait a moment, I have something for you."
"Give me something? "Don't tell me it's a wedding present?"
Hearing the female lead's words, the female lead did not say anything. She handed the female lead a cheque, "When you fall in love with me, I will naturally prepare a wedding present for you."
The female lead looked at the cheque that the male lead handed to her and frowned slightly. "What do you mean by this? Is it a reward? "
Seeing that the female owner had yet to react, Gu Benhen patiently explained, "This is what I promised you. It's your company, and at the moment, I can't openly help you. This little bit of capital, I'll borrow you to resolve the company's crisis. I believe with your ability, you can bring the company back to life. "
Looking at the amount in the cheque, the female owner hesitated.
If he accepted the cheque from Gu Benhen, he would owe him too much. However, if he didn't accept it, his company would need more funds to do the calculation, and Gu Benhen couldn't openly help him right now.
"You don't need to hesitate. I will naturally promise you what I promised you. This is what you deserve."
The lady did not take the check, but rummaged in her purse for a long time before she found the pen and paper.
Just as he was wondering what the female lead was doing, the male lead saw her tear down a piece of paper and pass it to him.
"I'll take your cheque. This is a debit. I'll try my best to repay this sum of money."
Seeing the IOU that the female lead handed to him, with the time, place, and loan written on it, he couldn't help but chuckle. "Is there a need to be so clear on the details?" I'm just fulfilling my promise. "
It is your business to keep your promise, and it is my business to lend you the IOU. "I will not take the money for myself. Consider it a loan from me.
Seeing that the female lead was insistent on her opinion, the male lead did not say much, "Alright, I lent it to you. I look forward to the day you can repay me."
"Yes, very soon." The female lead smiled and got out of the car.
