downstairs so late. “What time is it already? Why did you come downstairs so late? You still have to go to work. There are so many people at home and you’re the only one going to work.” I think you’ve forgotten the rules your grandfather taught you.”

Gu Wencheng sat down next to Meng Nianyao and placed a hand on the back of her chair. “Grandpa, do you want to compete?” He looked at Grandpa Gu.

Grandpa Gu was eating porridge. He looked at Gu Wencheng calmly.

Gu Wencheng laughed. Grandma Gu glared at him.” You still want to compete with your grandfather?”

“No, Grandpa is still strong.”

“Yes.”

Gu Wencheng picked up the porridge on the table and took a bite.

After breakfast, Meng Nianyao went to send Gu Wencheng off. The driver went to the garage to start the car while the two of them stood in the yard. It had snowed all night the previous night, so the yard was covered with snow. It was still snowing, so it was quite cold.

“You can go back first,” said Gu Wencheng.

Meng Nianyao was wearing thick clothes. She wore a sweater, a very long down jacket, and a hat. Her entire body was wrapped tightly.

“Didn’t you say you wanted me to send you off? I’m following the house rules you mentioned. “Meng Nianyao looked at Gu Wencheng.

“You can go back.” Gu Wencheng’s voice was a little heavy.

“Then you’re leaving?”

Gu Wencheng nodded.

Meng Nianyao turned to leave, but she came back after taking two steps. She reached out to hug Gu Wencheng and planted a kiss on his cheek. “Mr. Gu, you’ve worked hard at work. Come home early.”

Gu Wencheng stood there with a smile.

Time flew by in the old mansion. Meng Nianyao learned how to make chicken soup from Grandma Gu and went to see Grandpa Gu to play chess. Half a day passed. After lunch and a nap, it was already afternoon. When she woke up, Gu Guanping and Lin Ping had already returned.

When Grandma Gu saw Gu Guanping and Lin Ping, her face darkened. She turned around and went upstairs. Gu Guanping called her from behind, but she ignored him.

Grandma Gu was a little stubborn. If she was angry with someone, she woud not want to see that person at all. Gu Guanping did not dare to chase after her, and Lin Ping’s expression was not pleasant either. Grandpa Gu frowned.

“Grandma…” Meng Nianyao glanced at Grandma Gu, greeted Gu Guanping and Lin Ping, and then followed Grandma upstairs.

Grandma Gu was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom. Meng Nianyao went in and sat beside her.

“Why are you here?” Grandma Gu extended her hand toward Meng Nianyao.

“Auntie came to see me a few days ago,” Meng Nianyao said.

“Why did she come for you?” Grandma Gu’s voice was a little cold.

“Auntie said she agreed to let Gu Wencheng be with me.” Meng Nianyao held Grandma Gu’s hand.

“Really?” Grandma Gu obviously didn’t believe her.

“Yes, it’s true.” Meng Nianyao nodded. “She said that her relationship with Gu Wencheng was already very stiff and she couldn’t let him hate her anymore, so she agreed to let us be together.”

“What are the conditions?” Grandma Gu looked at Meng Nianyao with a sharp gaze that she had never seen before.

“Why do you ask that, Grandma?” Meng Nianyao was stunned.

“I know what kind of person she is. If she could let go of her self-righteousness, she wouldn’t have opposed you in the first place,” Grandma Gu sneered.

Meng Nianyao didn’t expect Grandma Gu to be so quick-witted. She didn’t know what to say. Grandma Gu saw her silence and sighed.

Meng Nianyao slowly said, “Grandma, Auntie means no harm. She might just care too much about Gu Wencheng. I can understand; she is Gu Wencheng’s mother. I, too, don’t want the relationship between Gu Wencheng and her to be completely ruined.”

“Grandma, I know you’re good to me and worried about me, but you have to believe me. I won’t be bullied. Also, Grandma, it’s rare for Uncle and Auntie to come back for the New Year. Don’t make the entire new year unhappy because of us.”

Grandma Gu tidied Meng Nianyao’s hair. “Good girl. Let’s go down.” With that, the two of them went downstairs.

Downstairs, the atmosphere was not very good; Grandpa Gu was sitting on the sofa, and Gu Guanping and Lin Ping were sitting opposite her. Their faces were gloomy.

Upon hearing the sound of people coming downstairs, Gu Guanping stood up first.

Grandma Gu and Meng Nianyao were still on the stairs. Grandma Gu stopped in her tracks when she heard that and nodded. Although Grandma Gu’s face was still gloomy, she was no longer that angry. Gu Guanping smiled and walked to Grandma Gu’s side to help her. Meng Nianyao glanced at him and quickly stepped aside to help out in the kitchen. They needed some alone time as a family..
