She really did not know why Gu Xiande favored Lin Che so much. Could it be that Lin Che had some hold on the Gu family that outsiders were unaware of?
At last, after sitting for a long time, Gu Xiande stood up and said that it was about time for him to go back and rest.
Lin Che assisted Gu Xiande who said, "That's enough, lass. You should eat more and work less. Look at how thin you are."
Since Gu Xiande wanted to leave, no one could make him stay any longer. They could only see him off from behind as they watched him leave.
Lin Che bounced back to Gu Jingze's side. Gu Jingze looked at this silly woman helplessly.
Lin Che said, "Grandfather is so great. He's even willing to back me up. I'll see if you still dare to bully me in the future."
Gu Jingze said in disbelief, "You even found a huge backing."
"Of course. Who told you to insult me for no reason?"
"But you're so daring too. You even got Grandfather to be your backing. Aren't you afraid at all that Grandfather will get angry if you speak badly of me? After all, I'm his grandson."
Lin Che asked in surprise, "What's wrong with a wife making a few comments about her husband's flaws? You're his grandson, but I'm also his granddaughter-in-law. The future of your family depends on my womb, so of course, Grandfather must speak in my favor. Besides, the old man is so lonely. But each and every one of you is all so serious. Grandfather is already so old. I think he's at the age where he wants to be surrounded by his children and grandchildren. Yet all of you only seek him out when there are problems at work or when there are family problems. It must be very irritating. If I sat there and talked about some serious matter, Grandfather would have definitely been very irritated. I only went to lighten up Grandfather's mood for a bit because I felt so sorry for him."
"..." Upon hearing this, Gu Jingze was actually momentarily speechless.
He said, "Alright, you're not wrong either. It's just that Grandfather has always been a serious person."
"Everyone adapts to other people's dispositions when speaking. How can he joke around with you when you're so serious? If you just joked around a little more, he wouldn't be so serious. Look at what kind of grandchildren you are. You don't understand the old man's heart at all. Everyone says that old people are just like children; both need to be sweet-talked, you know?" At that moment, Gu Jingze felt that Lin Che's words were unexpectedly right.
Perhaps the aura that Gu Xiande usually gave off was just so imposing that everyone did not really dare to speak to him. With time, this eventually became a habit.
Gu Jingze thought, It was also because this lass was bold.
She had not seen how the people outside were so frightened that even the hairs on their skin were about to stand up earlier when she was talking nonsense to Grandfather over there. They were afraid that Grandfather would suddenly be displeased and simply chase her out. Then, she would be kicked out of the Gu family from then on.
However, on the contrary, nothing at all happened in the end.
They did not even know if they should say that this lass had great luck and good fortune.
Maybe it was true that fools had their brand of luck. In any case, Gu Jingze could not figure out what Grandfather liked so much about her to actually even indulge her to this extent.
Gu Jingze said, "Alright, you're right. But next time you speak to Grandfather, you should still be a little more careful. You're really too crass. The only thing you know how to do is talk nonsense."
"Why? Was I very crass just now?" Of course.
"I totally didn't know that it wasn't permitted. Grandfather is such a good person, so I don't think he would take it to heart either."
"..." Gu Jingze said, "You must be the only one who thinks that Grandfather is such a good person. People would usually have been scared into silence when they saw Grandfather coming."
"How can that be? Grandfather just looks so approachable. When you first look at him, maybe you'd find him pretty scary, but later on, you would realize that he's actually not that scary. You would have known if you just spent more time getting close to him too."
"..." Gu Jingze said disbelievingly, "Okay, okay. Whatever you say is correct."
It was only at this moment that someone came to inform them that they had found Gu Jingyu. He had not come up when he heard that Grandfather was here.
Gu Jingze nodded his head. He told Lin Che to stay here before he left quietly first to look for Gu Jingyu.
Gu Jingyu first went to see Gu Jingyan.
