Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Meng Nianyao smiled and said to Grandpa Gu, “Grandpa, Gu Wencheng’s parents are back. Why don’t you go out and take a look?”
Grandpa Gu knew that Meng Nianyao was asking him to leave, but he nodded in agreement anyway; he knew that Grandma Gu would be unwilling to go to the bathroom with him around.
Outside.
Although Gu Guanping and Gu Wencheng were not at each other’s throats, neither of them spoke to each other and instead remained silent. When Grandpa Gu pushed the door open and came out, they called out to each other.
The ward wasn’t very soundproof, so Grandpa Gu had known when Gu Guanping and Lin Ping first arrived. He just didn’t come out.
“Dad, do you need me to do anything? How’s Mom?” Lin Ping said as she greeted him.
“I don’t need you to do anything.” Grandpa Gu raised his eyes and looked at Gu Guanping and Lin Ping. “Sorry for troubling you. You don’t have to do anything now, nor would you know what to do. It’s still early. You can take the earliest flight back.”
Gu Guanping and Lin Ping’s expressions were a little ugly.
They were not qualified parents. Because of his work, Gu Guanping barely accompanied Gu Wencheng. If that was the case, their father-son relationship would at most be a little distant. However, in the year of Gu Wencheng’s college entrance examination, the major he chose was severely opposed by Gu Guanping, which led to a serious deterioration of the father-son relationship, resulting in the gap today.
After about ten minutes, Meng Nianyao finished tidying up the ward. She opened the door and said to Grandpa Gu, “Grandpa, Grandma said you can come in now.”
Everyone went in to see Grandma Gu. Gu Wencheng held Meng Nianyao’s hand as he passed her.
Lin Ping walked to Grandma Gu’s side and asked, “Mom, are you alright?”
“It’s alright now.”Thank you for your hard work,” Grandma Gu said coldly.
“Mom, what are you talking about?” Lin Ping sighed. “You should have informed us immediately if you had something to do. If Wencheng hadn’t called us, we wouldn’t have known that you…”
“Sorry for making you worry,” Grandma Gu raised her hand.
Meng Nianyao saw Grandma Gu move her body and knew that she wanted to sit up. She quickly went over and stuffed a pillow behind her waist.
“Good girl” Grandma Gu patted her hand and said with a smile.
Meng Nianyao smiled.
“Miss Meng, it’s time for you to leave.” Lin Ping frowned as she watched.
Before Meng Nianyao could say anything, Grandma Gu’s smile disappeared and she said with a straight face, “Since you’re back, you should acknowledge each other in advance. Nianyao and Wencheng have already registered their marriage. She’s now a member of the Gu family and your daughter-in-law.”
Gu Guanping didn’t know about Meng Nianyao’s identity and background. Lin Ping had never told him about these things. He felt that someone who could be recognized by Grandma Gu would not have a bad character, so he looked at Meng Nianyao with a gentle gaze. However, Lin Ping was different. She subconsciously wanted to retort, but when she thought of Grandma Gu’s health, she shut her mouth again. However, her true thoughts clearly showed on her face; she did not acknowledge Meng Nianyao as her daughter-in-law.
Grandma Gu didn’t care whether Lin Ping acknowledged her or not. She had already decided on Meng Nianyao.
Grandma Gu didn’t like her daughter-in-law Lin Ping very much. When Gu Wencheng was born, Gu Guanping had to stay abroad for a long time due to work. Lin Ping insisted on going with him, saying that she wanted to take care of Gu Guanping. She left Gu Wencheng, a baby who needed more care, to Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu. After so many years, she never once asked about him. She was not a qualified mother.
“Everything’s fine.” Grandma Gu had not recovered yet and did not want to be dragged down by these messy things. Matters like this were equivalent to a bad debt. She waved her hand. “You all go back. 1 don’t need you to take care of me.” Grandpa Gu went forward to help Grandma Gu lie down. “Hurry up and leave. Don’t disturb her rest,” he said in a low voice.
Gu Guanping and the others decided to rush back. They were not young anymore and were very tired, so they did not insist. “Okay, then we will go back first. Dad, remember to call us if there is anything.”
After Grandma Gu laid down, she held Meng Nianyao’s hand. “You and Wencheng should go back too. You must have been worried sick these past two days, right?” You have dark circles under your eyes. Go back and rest.”
Uncle Nan and the nanny, Auntie Yang, were taking care of the hospital, so there was indeed no need for too many people to stay. Meng Nianyao agreed. “Okay. Grandma, sleep a little longer. We’ll come over tomorrow morning.”
“Alright,” Grandma Gu smiled tiredly..
