They Said I’m Mr. Gu’s Scandalous Affair-Chapter 36

You’re Beautiful, Mrs. Gu

After the meal, the Gu family’s chauffeur arrived to pick up the two elderly people.

Gu Wencheng opened the car door and offered a reminder, “Grandpa, Grandma, please take care of your health. Don’t be too indulgent. Stop sneaking in forbidden treats. I’ll call you every day to check if you’re following the doctor’s orders.”

Grandpa Gu was a glutton, but his advancing age had brought health issues, including high blood pressure and high blood sugar. Nevertheless, Grandpa Gu couldn’t resist his love for meat and sweets, which only added to his health woes.

Unhappy with Gu Wencheng’s advice, Grandpa Gu retorted, “You brat, now you care about me?”

“My grandson is doing this for your own good. Show some gratitude!” Grandma Gu chided Grandpa Gu. She then turned to Gu Wencheng with a smile. “Don’t worry, I will behave. I won’t indulge in forbidden treats, I’ll exercise regularly, and I’ll keep an eye on your grandfather. Alright, it’s getting late. You two should head home as well. Remember to bring Nianyao to visit after you’re done.” With that, she winked at Meng Nianyao, greeted Grandpa Gu, and got into the car.

Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng watched as the Gu family’s car departed.

“Can you drive?” Gu Wencheng handed the car keys to Meng Nianyao. “I can’t drive after I’ve had a drink.”

“Yes,” Meng Nianyao accepted the car keys. She had obtained her driver’s license when Meng Haotian’s business began to flourish. While she had been driving for a few years, she didn’t do it frequently, which made her a bit nervous. Thus, she drove as cautiously as she could.

Gu Wencheng didn’t mind the slow pace and instead observed Meng Nianyao’s profile with interest. Meng Nianyao noticed his gaze and asked, “What’s on your mind?”

“Mrs. Gu, has anyone ever told you how lovely you look?”

“I don’t think so,” Meng Nianyao replied, taken aback.

While Meng Nianyao was indeed attractive, she didn’t socialize much. Most of her time was spent with Meng Haotian, Wang Shulan, and Jiang Shanshan. Meng Haotian often belittled her, claiming she wasn’t good enough. Wang Shulan and Jiang Shanshan, on the other hand, held contempt for her due to her inability to bear children and Jiang Shanshan’s status as a mistress who harbored resentment. As a result, Meng Nianyao rarely received compliments about her appearance.

Gu Wencheng smiled. “Really? I’m honored to be the first to compliment Mrs. Gu.”

“Thank you,” Meng Nianyao responded with a smile.

Today, Meng Nianyao exuded a different aura. Perhaps she had finally found her way through her thoughts, or perhaps her revenge plan was progressing step by step. The heavy burden on her heart seemed to be slowly lifting. During dinner, Meng Nianyao had been unusually gentle, inside and out.

Upon reaching the parking lot, Meng Nianyao returned the car keys to Gu Wencheng, but he didn’t accept them. “Consider this car a wedding gift for you.”

Meng Nianyao was taken aback and glanced at the car—a white Audi worth about 500,000 yuan. It was a departure from Gu Wencheng’s usual luxury cars and already a generous gift for her.

“I can’t accept it,” Meng Nianyao replied. “I don’t usually need a car. It would be wasteful to give it to me.”

Gu Wencheng halted. “Do you think my assistants commute by bus or taxi every day? Mrs. Gu, even if you’re putting on an act, be a little more convincing, will you?”

Meng Nianyao knew Gu Wencheng was right. If she wanted to put on a facade, she had to do it well. But accepting material gifts from Gu Wencheng…

Gu Wencheng looked at her intently. “Mrs. Gu, what’s holding you back?”

Meng Nianyao remained silent.

“Shall I take you somewhere else?” Gu Wencheng suggested.

Meng Nianyao was puzzled.

City B’s First People’s Hospital.

Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng stood outside a hospital room. Inside, Jiang Shanshan lay on the bed. Her face was pale, but she wore a contented smile. “Honey, we now have two babies. Are you happy?”

“Yes, it’s a blessing in disguise,” Meng Haotian replied with a joyful expression. He sat by the bedside and kissed the back of Jiang Shanshan’s hand. “I’m sorry for the troubles I caused. I know it’s been difficult for you to go through with the divorce, but believe me, I’ll make it up to you. Once I’m finished using Meng Nianyao, I’ll remarry you.”

Meng Nianyao wasn’t surprised by Meng Haotian’s words.

Gu Wencheng observed Meng Nianyao’s reaction. “So, how do you feel?”

“How would you like me to feel?” Meng Nianyao looked up at Gu Wencheng.
