Chapter 231 - 230: That Fiery Temper
Upon hearing Old Mrs. Gu’s words, Yue Jun did not refuse. Her daughter hadn’t seen Tingyu for a long time, so letting them talk more was a good idea.
Gu Tingyu was very much in favor of his grandmother’s suggestion, so he stood up and looked at Yiyi.
Seeing this, Yiyi also stood up with a smile.
At this moment, Gu Tingting spoke up, "Big cousin, I heard that the coffee shop on the street is quite nice. Why don’t you take me and my brother along?"
Gu Tingyu glanced at this cousin and shook his head, saying, "If you want to go, let your brother take you next time." After speaking, he directly took Yiyi and left without looking back.
Seeing how swiftly Gu Tingyu left, Gu Tingting couldn’t help but stamp her foot, "Big cousin is really something, he actually didn’t take me along."
Old Mrs. Gu, seeing this, said in exasperation, "The young couple is going on a date, why are you tagging along? Are you planning to be the third wheel?"
Seeing that her grandmother once again criticized her over Mo Yiyi, Gu Tingting’s mood worsened instantly, but now was not the time to argue back, especially since her brother Gu Tinghao kept tugging at her sleeve, so she didn’t dare say more.
Seeing Gu Tingting like this, Yue Jun couldn’t help but frown.
Guo Ming’s impression of the Gu Family worsened.
Originally, he wasn’t happy about his young apprentice finding a partner so soon, and now seeing the Gu Family’s people like this, he was even more displeased.
Mr. Gu and Old Mrs. Gu were quite nice, but this mother of Gu Tingyu and this cousin were rather unimpressive.
Finally, Guo Ming looked at Yue Jun and said, "Why don’t we head back too?"
Yue Jun directly nodded, and the two left.
After Yue Jun and Guo Ming left, Old Mrs. Gu directly smashed the teacup at hand.
"Gu Tingting, what exactly are you trying to do? I repeatedly told you that today’s family banquet was very important, but you and your brother arrived late, and now you are insensitively trying to disrupt your big cousin’s date with Yiyi."
After speaking, she glared at her youngest son and daughter-in-law, angrily saying, "It’s all your fault for indulging her too much, now she’s grown up to be spoiled and unruly, embarrassing the Gu Family."
After speaking, she wasn’t satisfied and angrily smashed another teacup.
Old Mrs. Gu had never been this angry, so Gu Yaozhong and Zhuang Caixin hurriedly said, "Mom, don’t be angry, we will certainly teach Tingting well in the future."
"Teach what? She’s already grown up, her character is already formed. I told you when she was little that even if you love her, you have to set rules for her. Now she’s totally spoiled."
Old Mrs. Gu used to be someone with authority, spoke and acted decisively, but had mellowed after retiring, and hadn’t been as fiery. But today, she was agitated again.
After finishing, she directly looked at her eldest daughter-in-law.
"Yu Qiulan, today was the first time the in-laws came over, yet you stayed silent the whole time, are you trying to show that you’re unhappy? Who are you putting on a show for?"
"What impression do you think Yiyi’s master and her mother will get from your attitude? Are you trying to prevent Tingyu from getting married? I’m telling you, if you show me this attitude again, you won’t be welcomed in our family anymore. When we invite Yiyi and her family next time, you and your husband shouldn’t come."
Gu Yaohua hastily said upon hearing this, "Mom, calm down, Qiu Lan probably couldn’t find a topic to talk about with Yiyi’s mother."
"You shut up. I said this about Qiu Lan back then..."
At the end, Old Mrs. Gu didn’t say more.
With the young grandchildren around, it wasn’t appropriate to air their dissatisfaction with the eldest daughter-in-law, so they held back, but looking at those present, she only felt irritable.
"Alright, since lunch is over, all of you can go home."
Mr. Gu’s face didn’t look too good either.
He was actually very satisfied with Yiyi’s family, the girl was poised and measured, with excellent academic achievements, and a successful career.
Moreover, hearing from Yiyi’s master, the mother and daughter quickly settled in Shangjing, and even bought a courtyard; this showed how successful their business had been.
But most importantly, the eldest grandson liked Yiyi.
This was more important than anything else.
Thinking about this, Mr. Gu looked solemnly at his eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Our family has always favored free love; Yaohua and Yaozhong were like this, so Tingyu and Tinghao will be too. Think about your own situation from the past, so adjust your mindset regarding Yiyi and Tingyu; don’t let me see you with sad faces."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qiulan’s face flushed red.
Mr. Gu’s words were a clear warning. Back then, the Gu Family wasn’t truly happy with her as the eldest daughter-in-law, but since Yaohua liked her, the elders didn’t oppose.
This was telling her, they didn’t oppose her back then, so she should not oppose Mo Yiyi?
Thinking about this, Yu Qiulan bit her lip and remained silent. Mr. Gu and Old Mrs. Gu still ruled the family.
Moreover, with such words spoken, what else could she say but nod and reply, "Dad, Mom, I understand."
Zhuang Caixin saw the eldest sister-in-law put in her place and secretly felt a bit smug, but at the same time, she also felt a slight worry.
The Gu Family was really like this; if Tinghao also falls for a girl she doesn’t like, what will they do?
Thinking about this, Zhuang Caixin secretly decided to have Tinghao make connections with a girl she approves of as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Gu Tingyu took Yiyi directly to the street’s coffee shop, where they slowly sipped coffee, sharing endless whispers.
Finally, noticing the time, Gu Tingyu asked, "Yiyi, shall we have dinner together tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Yiyi nodded, "Okay."
"Tonight, two of my friends will come over, so you can meet them, but if you don’t feel like it, we can just eat by ourselves."
Yiyi naturally did not object, indicating Gu Tingyu wanted to introduce her to his circle, "Let’s eat together, and next time I’ll take you to meet my friends."
"If possible, let’s invite our dorm mates for a meal next time." She had said she had a boyfriend, so it was only right to treat them.
"Sure, when I have time off, we’ll invite your dorm mates for a meal."
Thus, they reached an agreement, and upon leaving the coffee shop, they went straight to a nearby restaurant.
