“Have you heard of bamboo shoot?” As Grandma Gu spoke, she instructed the servants to take the things from Meng Nianyao and put them into the fridge. “When I was young, I grew up in the countryside. Sometimes, I didn’t have the opportunity to eat meat. At that time, when we killed chickens, we had to add a lot of ingredients to ensure that everyone in the family could eat it. During that time, food was scarce. Everyone tried everything in order to make the food more filling. Once, my family and I went up the mountain. We were lucky and found a lot of bamboo shoots, so we brought them home and cooked them with chicken soup. It was very fragrant. It became the most delicious thing I ate in my childhood, but as my life got better and better, there were fewer and fewer bamboo shoots. So every time there were bamboo shoots for sale, I would make a pot of soup based on my family’s recipe to satisfy my craving.” As Grandma Gu spoke, a nostalgic look appeared on her face.

Meng Nianyao listened quietly.

Suddenly, Grandpa Gu came downstairs. “Alright, stop reminiscing. When are we going to eat? I’m starving.”

Grandma Gu rolled her eyes.

Grandma Gu’s cooking skills were really good. Meng Nianyao didn’t usually have a big appetite, but she ate a lot tonight. Iler stomach was bulging, so she took a walk in the yard to digest her food.

Since they came to the old house late, they had dinner later. After that, Grandma Gu asked them to stay for the night in the old house. Gu Wencheng didn’t agree at first, but relented when he looked at Meng Nianyao, who nodded. “Okay.”

In the evening, Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng went upstairs after accompanying Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu to watch TV.

Gu Wencheng still had some work to do and went to the study to deal with it. Meng Nianyao picked out a yoga video and practiced for a while.

About thirty minutes later, Meng Nianyao got up, covered in sweat, and went to the bathroom to wash up. When she came out, Gu Wencheng opened the bedroom door and saw Meng Nianyao in a bathrobe. He raised his eyebrows.

Meng Nianyao was speechless.

Fortunately, Gu Wencheng didn’t say anything flirtatious and went straight to the bathroom to wash up. At this moment, the phone he had placed on the cabinet rang. It showed the words “Ms. Gu.” It was probably his mother.

It wasn’t convenient for Meng Nianyao to answer the call, so she knocked on the bathroom door. “Gu Wencheng, your phone is ringing.”

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped for a moment before Gu Wencheng’s voice came through. “You answer it.”

Meng Nianyao was speechless.

Just as she was hesitating whether to answer the call, the ringtone stopped. She heaved a sigh of relief, but before she could finish, her phone rang again. Her face instantly scrunched up. She stared at the phone screen for a long time before answering the call. “Hello, Auntie. This is Meng Nianyao. Gu Wencheng is taking a shower and can’t answer the phone at the moment. Can I ask him to call you back later?”

Lin Ping was stunned for a moment on the other end of the phone. Then, she said politely, “Okay. Thank you.” With that, she hung up the phone.

Meng Nianyao breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was a little disappointed. She could sense that Gu Wencheng’s mother didn’t like her very much. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝘮

“Who called?” Gu Wencheng came out of the bathroom.

“Your mother.” Meng Nianyao handed him the phone.

Gu Wencheng didn’t call his mother back, though. Instead, he stared at Meng Nianyao for a while and suddenly stepped forward. Meng Nianyao was forced to step back, but was quickly encased in Gu Wencheng’s arms. She was puzzled. “What are you doing?”

Gu Wencheng stared into Meng Nianyao’s eyes. “It’s nothing. I just feel that you’re not in a good mood.”

Meng Nianyao didn’t expect Gu Wencheng to be so sensitive as to notice the subtle changes in her mood. However, she didn’t want to say it because it was too pretentious. Moreover…She wasn’t money, so she couldn’t be liked by everyone.

“Alright, call your mother back quickly. Don’t keep her waiting.” After saying that, Meng Nianyao bent over and slipped out of Gu Wencheng’s arms.

Gu Wencheng laughed and took his phone to the balcony to return the call.

Lin Ping seemed to have been waiting by the phone the whole time. She picked up the phone as soon as it rang.

“Mom, why were you calling?”

“Tell me, what’s the matter with Meng Nianyao?” Lin Ping asked, trying to suppress her anger.

“What do you mean what happened? She’s my wife.” Gu Wencheng frowned.

“Wife? She’s an orphan, and a remarried orphan at that! You married such a woman!” The anger in Lin Ping’s voice could not be suppressed.. However, her good upbringing prevented her from cursing like a shrew, so she lowered her voice and warned, “Gu Wencheng, divorce her immediately!” Your father and I don’t agree to this marriage! Even if the Gu family doesn’t pursue a match of equal social status, we won’t want a woman who’s remarried!”
