Grandma Gu questioned, "You said Nuannuan isn’t staying at your house, why is that?"
"When they got married, they didn’t inform any of the family members. Acceptance takes some time," Grandma Xiao said, and her tone was already as diplomatic and courteous as possible.
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu instantly understood that their granddaughter was unwelcome and unacknowledged as a daughter-in-law in the Xiao Family.
Suddenly, Grandpa Gu slammed the table and stood up, yelling at Grandma Xiao, "Your grandson got my granddaughter pregnant, what, you don’t want to take responsibility?"
The shout was loud and very sudden, leaving everyone in the private room somewhat stunned.
Not to mention the Xiao Family, even Gu’s second aunt felt that Grandpa Gu’s sudden outburst was unexpected. This old man usually didn’t have a good impression of Gu Nuan, so why was he suddenly speaking up for Gu Nuan?
Grandma Xiao frowned and said, "I didn’t say we wouldn’t take responsibility. Aren’t the two of them married?"
"Married? There wasn’t even a bridal gift sent to our Gu Family! You all need to reflect on this, such improper conduct suggests that you, as elders, are at fault!" Read full story at novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Grandpa Gu, for some reason, suddenly directed all his accusations towards Grandma Xiao alone.
Xiao Shuju and Xiao Shuzhu were so shocked that they didn’t know how to react, feeling like the old man from the Gu Family was acting like a madman with incoherent words.
Grandma Xiao was relatively calm and responded, "As I said, this marriage did not have the elders’ consent. I wasn’t even aware of it. If anything, we should first talk about how your family elders taught your granddaughter to be such a woman, only knowing how to seduce men?"
Speaking of teaching daughters to follow women’s virtues was always considered a matter for the women in the family. Unsurprisingly, Grandma Xiao’s counterattack was directed at Grandma Gu.
Grandma Gu’s face suddenly turned bright red, and together with Grandpa Gu, they furiously yelled at Grandma Xiao, almost spitting on her face, "You dare say my granddaughter is unchaste? I tell you, do you think your family’s money is something great? Don’t want my granddaughter then don’t. Once she gives birth, I’ll have her child take the Gu surname, not Xiao, and let your family die out!"
Talking about letting the Xiao family die out was indeed too harsh.
Grandma Xiao’s face instantly changed color.
Xiao Shuju and Xiao Shuzhu were also angered and said, "Let’s speak nicely. Why speak so venomously? Aren’t you elders?"
"We speak venomously? Why not say it’s her who speaks like an evil witch!" Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu certainly didn’t take responsibility, and continued to angrily scold, calling her an old witch, saying she was as malicious as the evil stepmother from Snow White.
Grandma Xiao placed her hand over her heart and said, "Since we’re not getting along, there’s nothing more to say. You dislike my grandson, I dislike your granddaughter too, this marriage is mutually unacknowledged, and that’s for the best."
"Of course, it’s best!" voiced Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu in unison.
Everyone in the private room, including Gu’s second aunt, was dizzy from the old couple’s crazy-like behavior and words.
Weren’t these old people greedy for the Xiao family’s wealth? Why suddenly deny this marriage?
Gu’s second aunt was completely baffled.
Grandpa Gu kicked a chair right then.
Grandma Gu turned her head abruptly.
The two elders rushed out of the private room as if they didn’t care at all about the things here, nor about the Xiao family’s wealth.
Gu’s second aunt hurriedly ran out to chase after her elders.
Once the Gu family members left, Grandma Xiao fiercely pressed her hand against her chest, gasping for air.
