Time was quietly beautiful.
Yet the grandmother and grandson each harbored their own thoughts.
Lan Baozhen had still not answered Gu Xinzhou's question.
Gu Xinzhou blinked and asked, "Grandma?"
"Hehe," Lan Baozhen said with a smile, "Grandma is old now and has completely adapted to life here.
You, however, are still young and haven't even fallen in love or gotten married yet.
At this time, if you are burdened with an old lady like me, it won't be good for finding a husband's family either.
Zhouzhou, don't worry. Grandma is very healthy.
Grandma is waiting for you to inherit the Gu family, to have a solid foundation for life, then you can come and take grandma back to B city to enjoy the good life!"
She always talked about letting Gu Xinzhou inherit the Gu family.
Previously, because Gu Yibo had two daughters, she was worried that Gu Xinzhou's future would be fraught with hardships and thus wanted to motivate her.
Now, Gu Yibo only had one Zhouzhou left, and she couldn't let go of the daughter who had been lying in the nursing home for over twenty years.
In her life, Lan Baozhen had experienced great ups and downs.
Wealth and honor were but fleeting clouds.
Her only thought was to send Fang Lingwei away before she herself died of old age.
Gu Xinzhou, hearing the answer, felt complicated emotions.
Suddenly she pushed away her grandmother's hand and sat up.
Looking at her like a child who had done something wrong, she said, "Grandma, the reason I'm not angry with Dad is that my years in Italy have made me understand that everyone has their own secrets in their heart.
As long as our hearts toward each other are sincere, the existence of these secrets won't hinder our relationship.
It's just like how Dad hid this secret for so many years, but he still loves me, and I still love him.
It's also like…
I actually have a secret in my heart that I've also been hiding from you all."
Lan Baozhen's heart skipped a beat.
She thought her granddaughter was absolutely right!
Who doesn't have secrets in their heart?
Her heart… also had one!
Gu Xinzhou held Lan Baozhen's hand, speaking softly, "Grandma~ Zhouzhou is facing a difficulty and needs Grandma's help!"
"What's the matter?" Lan Baozhen grew anxious, "I've been cooped up here for so many years, I don't understand anything.
Shouldn't you ask your father?
He's bound to have more connections than me!"
Gu Xinzhou thought it over seriously, shook her head, and firmly said, "No, my dad can't know for now!"
Because Gu Yibo was a traitor!
If Gu Yibo found out about McDull, he would definitely tell Song Zhen!
Gu Xinzhou actually had a clear idea in her mind.
She and Song Zhen were definitely going to end up together in the end.
After all, they were both in love now, and there was McDull; he wasn't willing to give up, and she wasn't one to be pretentious.
But…
She was just not satisfied!
Song Zhen was too narcissistic, too detestable!
Previously in the office, he arranged for someone to hypnotize her.
Then later in the bedroom, he actually monitored her every move.
Not to mention, there were many areas where she and Song Zhen had not yet adjusted well.
If they were to get together just like that, the two of them would have many issues waiting to erupt in the future, which would be very damaging to the relationship.
Moreover, to simply tell Song Zhen so easily that he was a father now, that would be letting him off too cheaply!
Gu Xinzhou felt indignant.
She thought that she must properly educate and torture Song Zhen before marriage.
At the very least, make him understand the importance of sincerity and honesty, the understanding of mutual respect, and consideration for each other.
Lan Baozhen looked at Gu Xinzhou.
She only felt that her granddaughter's little face was becoming more and more troubled.
Like a teacher facing an especially difficult and naughty student.
Like
"Zhouzhou? What is the matter?"
"Grandma, you have to swear not to tell Dad, then I can tell you!"
"Alright, Grandma swears, this is our secret, I will absolutely not tell Yibo!"
