Zhang shook his head sadly. Although he had been with Gu Shaoting for a long time, he still couldn’t figure out what was on his mind.
He knew that Gu Shaoting wasn’t the type to be swayed by beauty. Over the years, countless young and beautiful women had thrown themselves at him, but he had never shown any interest.
However, the sudden news of his divorce from Madam had taken him by surprise. For a while, Mr. Gu had been frequently visiting home for meals, and Zhang had thought that their relationship was improving. Little did he know that he would hear about their divorce.
Zhang gazed at their departing figures, feeling a mixture of emotions.
After their meal, the two of them returned to the Gu Family’s mansion. Gu Shaoting hadn’t visited his grandfather in a long time. When his grandfather learned about his divorce from Shu Pan, he had actually thrown a teacup at him, luckily the tea inside wasn’t scalding hot.
It was clear that his grandfather was extremely upset. Although more than three years had passed since then, his grandfather still occasionally held a grudge against him, giving him the cold shoulder.
According to Auntie Wang, Grandpa Gu often sighed and felt that Gu Shaoting had lost his senses by divorcing Shu Pan, who was such a great wife.
Back at the Gu Family’s mansion, Auntie Wang informed them that Grandpa Gu was in his room. Gu Shaoting, knowing that his grandfather didn’t have a good impression of Tong Fei, decided to go upstairs alone to avoid causing any trouble.
“Grandpa, how are you feeling today?” Gu Shaoting squatted beside his grandfather and asked.
“I’m fine as long as you don’t upset me,” Grandpa Gu replied, still harboring resentment about Gu Shaoting’s divorce from Shu Pan.
“Grandpa, that’s all in the past now. You should try to let it go. Tong Fei and I are doing well, and she’s famous internationally,” Gu Shaoting said, though he wasn’t sure if he was trying to convince his grandfather or himself.
“I wanted a daughter-in-law who was low-key, humble, and not scheming. I’ve seen more of the world than you ever could. If you don’t listen to your elders, you’ll suffer,” Grandpa Gu brought this sentence up every time he saw Gu Shaoting.
“Alright, Grandpa, I understand. Actually, Tong Fei is a good person. You’ll get to know her better with time,” Gu Shaoting continued to explain.
“Ah, I’m old and useless, can’t manage so many things anymore,” Grandpa Gu shook his head, feeling melancholic.
“Okay, Grandpa, take care of yourself and rest more. Don’t dwell on other things too much. Let everything happen naturally, okay?”
Grandpa Gu raised his hand and waved, signaling him to leave.
As Gu Shaoting descended the stairs, he saw Tong Fei chatting with Song Can.
“Mom, you didn’t go out today?” Gu Shaoting greeted them.
Then, he sat down across from them.
“Shaoting, that’s great. I was just talking to Tong Fei about you. You’ve been together for so long. Maybe it’s time to consider getting engaged. Girls are shy, so you should take the initiative,” Song Can advised Gu Shaoting.
“I’ve been quite busy lately, so I’m not considering this for now. We’ll talk about it later,” Gu Shaoting quickly declined.
Tong Fei’s expression darkened, and Song Can noticed it. She continued, “I can help you with that.”
Gu Shaoting didn’t respond, and the atmosphere became a bit tense. Tong Fei
quickly added, “Auntie, I’ve also been very busy lately, and I’m about to go abroad for a photoshoot. We don’t need to rush this. We’re doing well, so let’s discuss it later.”
Song Can looked at Tong Fei’s aggrieved expression and patted her hand.
“Alright then, once you both have some free time, we’ll proceed..”
