That afternoon, Meng Yueman was getting ready to leave.
Gu Qianru, who was sending her out, said, “Auntie, don’t let Xiao Huan attend my father’s funeral.”
Meng Yueman was stunned. Mu Huan was the daughter-in-law of the Bo family, and everyone knew about the relationship between the two families. If her daughter-in-law did not attend Old Master Gu’s funeral, what would others think of her?
“Auntie, I’m asking Xiao Huan not to attend the funeral for the good of our two families. You should know that Chenyi still likes Xiao Huan. Previously, when Lin Qingya was still carrying a child that he was responsible for, he had sought Xiao Huan out, asking her to elope. Now that there’s no one else for him to be responsible for, I don’t know what will happen if we let the two of them meet again in the future. Therefore, I want them to never meet again.”
“He wanted to elope?” Meng Yueman frowned.
“Yes.”
After a moment of silence, Meng Yueman said, “I’ll go back and inform Junyan.”
The Bo family…
The moment he got home, he was called over by Meng Yueman.
“Chenyi once wanted to elope with Xiao Huan?”
Bo Junyan: “…”
“It seems like such a thing really happened.” Meng Yueman frowned.
Bo Junyan said, “It’s purely Chenyi’s wishful thinking. Xiao Huan doesn’t have any romantic feelings for him and I’ve taught Chenyi a lesson.”
When Meng Yueman heard this, she did not say anything more, but she could not help feeling uncomfortable.
Meng Yueman was already in her early 50s this year. At her age, she was definitely a conservative person, especially since she had grown up carrying the honor of her family.
Now, the rumors about Mu Huan and Gu Chenyi were a huge scandal to Meng Yueman. If it weren’t for the fact that her son liked this daughter-in-law very much, she might have listened to her father’s words when she returned and thought of ways to get her son to divorce her and approach Ling Wei again.
This was because the relationship between Mu Huan and Gu Chenyi was a matter of fact, and it was said by their own family. Furthermore, what happened during the engagement ceremony was planned by her father. Hence, she could not use the matter of Mu Huan pushing Lin Qingya to clarify the matter. Otherwise, she would push their family to the center of public opinion and make the family a laughingstock.
In that case, such a scandal would follow them for the rest of their lives.
In this world, all mothers wanted their son to have the best things in the world. Meng Yueman was no exception, especially since her son was so outstanding. Since she had to have a daughter-in-law, she naturally wanted to find a perfect and flawless person. Only then would she be compatible with such an outstanding son like hers.
But she also knew that the most important thing was that her son liked Mu Huan and that Mu Huan was not in the wrong.
Hence, she felt uncomfortable and did not say much.
After a moment of silence, Meng Yueman said, “Your sister-in-law doesn’t want Xiao Huan to attend her father’s funeral. She said that she was afraid that Chenyi would be unable to control himself and do something.”
Bo Junyan frowned.
“She’s not without reason. After what happened at the engagement party, Chenyi only cares about whether Xiao Huan pushed Lin Qingya because of him. This makes everyone even more convinced of his and Xiao Huan’s relationship. If he were to do anything out of control during the funeral, there would be another storm.”
Although Meng Yueman wasn’t in the country at that time, she knew what happened during the engagement party.
Many businessmen and political figures were going to attend Old Master Gu’s funeral. If Chenyi, that insensible child, really did anything during the funeral, the two families would lose all their face and become a laughingstock.
