Chapter 186: Completely Winning Over Grandma Gu
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Among her grandsons, each one more stubborn and arrogant than the other, who could easily influence and dominate them if not willingly?
She considered herself to be right, thinking that Gu Shiyu should find a gentle, understanding, obedient, and virtuous wife and mother who would take care of the children, manage the household, and be a strong support for Gu Shiyu. She believed that Lu Miao was not suitable for this role.
But isn’t the confidence, carefree nature, and dominance that Lu Miao possesses exactly what she liked and yearned for in her youth?
She had also fantasized about becoming such a person.
Now, looking back, it was the decades of living a privileged life that had caused her to forget her original intentions!
“It’s not a matter of right or wrong, just different perspectives,” Lu Miao casually replied.
She had no intention of getting caught up in debates with the old lady about right and wrong. She simply wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, the old lady felt even more ashamed.
She, a person who had lived for several decades, was actually inferior to a young girl.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving,” Lu Miao said.
She seemed eager to distance herself from Grandma Gu and avoid any further contact.
Grandma Gu’s face was filled with mixed emotions. The current situation was her own doing, so she couldn’t blame anyone else.
Looking at the bag in Lu Miao’s hand, she reminded her, “Those yellow papers are specially used in the temple for drawing symbols or performing rituals. They have been blessed. According to normal practice, the Taoist priest shouldn’t have given them to you. Since he did, there must be other intentions behind it. If you need rough draft paper at home, you can ask Jinxi and the others to call and order some for you. It’s best not to use these papers randomly.”
“I understand,” Lu Miao nodded. Then without hesitation, she turned and walked towards the exit.
Although Gu Jinxi was standing to the side, his eyes were constantly watching their conversation, fearing that his grandmother might suddenly cause trouble for Lu Miao.
When he saw Lu Miao approaching, he hurriedly ran up to her, circled around her, and carefully checked her from all angles to make sure she was really okay. Then he asked, “Did Grandma cause any trouble for you?”
“She apologized to me,” Lu Miao didn’t hide anything.
Gu Jinxi reached out and touched Lu Miao’s forehead. “Sister-in-law, did you catch a fever and burn your brain? Grandma apologizing to you? How is that possible?”
Given his grandmother’s temper, there was no way she would apologize to anyone.
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Hurry up and go before you get beaten up. I’ll leave first,” Lu Miao patted his head and then walked away.
Gu Jinxi scratched his head and called after her, “Sister-in-law, I’ll come back home tonight.”
Lu Miao waved her hand behind her, bidding him farewell.
As she watched Lu Miao leave, Gu Jinxi turned around and ran back to find his grandmother.
After offering incense, the old lady went straight to the back hall to find Taoist Priest Lingxu. However, she was informed that he wasn’t receiving visitors today.
This was strange. She had been to the City God Temple so many times, and Taoist Priest Lingxu had always been amiable. He had never refused to see visitors before.
Moreover, she remembered that Lu Miao had just seen him. Wasn’t that the case?
She had intended to ask about the yellow papers. After all, they weren’t ordinary paper, and Lu Miao might not know their proper use and might misuse them.
After expressing her gratitude to the attendant, she left without lingering and headed straight home.
Back at the Gu family, Gu Jinxi wandered aimlessly in the living room.
He was racking his brains, trying to come up with an excuse to go out and return to Lingyue Manor.
Just as he was thinking, his grandmother came out of her room, having changed her clothes. Seeing him restlessly pacing around, she immediately guessed his thoughts.
These past few days, she had been grateful that he came home to accompany her every day.
“If you want to go out, go ahead. Don’t be a nuisance here, pacing around the house like taking a stroll in the park,” Grandma Gu said without holding back.
Gu Jinxi immediately smiled happily. “Thank you, Grandma.”
Before he could get up and leave, Gu Xingyu, who was sitting on the sofa, spoke first. “Grandma, you can’t let him go out. He definitely wants to go to that vixen Lu Miao again. That country bumpkin has nothing but bad intentions. Who knows what twisted ideas she’s putting into Gu Jinxi’s head.”
Gu Jinxi grew anxious. “I want to go wherever I want. It’s none of your business, Gu Xingyu. It’s your own fault for misjudging someone. Don’t slander others. This is my final warning. If you keep talking about Sister-in-law like that, don’t blame me for not being polite to you.”
“What Sister-in-law? Grandma has already said that the engagement has been canceled, ” Gu Xingyu turned around and complained, “Grandma, look at him. He doesn’t know anything except for Lu Miao. Now he’s even threatening me for her. ”
Grandma Gu, in an unexpected turn of events, spoke against her usual behavior. “He’s right. It’s his own business where he wants to go. As for you, it’s time for you to reflect on your actions. Always calling people country bumpkins, has the Gu family taught you to look down on others and lack basic manners?”
“I didn’t…” Gu Xingyu hurriedly tried to defend himself.
“You did, and I’m not deaf or blind,” Grandma Gu interrupted sternly.
“I think the time you spent reflecting in the ancestral hall was too short. Forget about distinguishing right from wrong, you haven’t even learned basic manners. Now go to the ancestral hall and continue your reflection. Come back when you’ve learned politeness and humility. That’s all,” Grandma Gu said without mercy.
Both Gu Jinxi and Gu Xingyu were stunned.
Was their grandmother defending Lu Miao and speaking up for her?
Was the sun rising from the west?
“Grandma,” Gu Xingyu said, dissatisfied. “I only said one sentence about Lu Miao…”
“Go now,” the old lady said without hesitation.
Gu Xingyu gritted his teeth and glared at Gu Jinxi before reluctantly turning around and going to the ancestral hall.
Gu Jinxi finally snapped out of his shock and realized that everything that had just happened wasn’t a hallucination. He pinched his own arm forcefully, feeling the pain and taking a sharp breath to confirm that it was all real.
After thinking for a moment, he cautiously approached his grandmother and asked, “Grandma… were you speaking up for Sister-in-law just now?”
Suddenly, he remembered the incident at the City God Temple when Lu Miao said that his grandmother had apologized to her. Could it be true?
Grandma Gu glanced at him and replied with annoyance, “If you don’t want to go out, go to the ancestral hall and reflect with Xingyu.”
Gu Jinxi immediately closed his mouth and turned to leave, without any hesitation.
As he stepped out, he quickly hailed a taxi and headed straight to Lingyue Manor.
“Young Master, you’re back,” Auntie Xiu greeted him with joy upon seeing him.
Gu Jinxi nodded and asked about Lu Miao’s whereabouts, “Where’s
Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law.”
Inside the room, Lu Miao had just opened her live streaming account when the door was forcefully pushed open by Gu Jinxi, the energetic Husky..
