Chapter 261 - 260: Standing Beside Her
Upon hearing Old Mrs. Gu’s words, Yiyi knew that she must already be aware of the situation.
"Grandma, I didn’t want you to worry, so I didn’t say anything."
Old Mrs. Gu disagreed wholeheartedly: "You child, what is this about not worrying? This matter originally started because of Tingyu, we definitely need to pay more attention. This time the Shu Family has gone too far, even if you have already taught Shu Qiang a lesson, our Gu Family cannot let it go, otherwise, others might think our granddaughter-in-law is easy to bully."
Seeing Old Mrs. Gu’s angry expression, Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh: "Thank you, Grandma."
She knew the two elders always treated her as a Gu Family member and stood by her side whenever something happened, which made her very happy.
"Alright Yiyi, between us, there’s no need for thanks. Tonight you’ll come to have dinner at Grandpa and Grandma’s house, after dinner, I’ll have Xiao Wang send you back."
Hearing this, Yiyi naturally smiled and nodded.
She was originally thinking of dropping by to see the two elders and ask Mr. Gu if he knew about Gu Tingyu’s whereabouts, but the matter of apprenticeship delayed her, so it was great that Old Mrs. Gu came to pick her up this time.
When the grandmother and granddaughter arrived, Mr. Gu was already home. He was very happy to see Yiyi come over, "Yiyi, come on in and sit."
Yiyi greeted Mr. Gu with a smile, then sat down and chatted, during which she also asked about Gu Tingyu.
Mr. Gu didn’t say much, only mentioned: "After a few more days, Tingyu will be back, he has a few days off this time, you young ones can spend more time together then."
Hearing this from Mr. Gu, Yiyi’s face was full of smiles.
She hadn’t seen Gu Tingyu for a long time, this time she could finally meet him.
Old Mrs. Gu, sitting aside, looked at Mr. Gu and said: "Old man, how do you see the Shu family matter this time? We can’t let people bully Yiyi like this."
Hearing this, Mr. Gu’s face directly sank, and said, "Of course we can’t let it go, the Shu Family doesn’t even bother to put our Gu Family in their eyes, do they really think Yiyi is easily bullied?"
"Grandpa, Grandma, actually my master and I have already taught that Shu Qiang a lesson, and it seems the head of the Shu Family doesn’t know about this matter."
"Hmph... even if Shu Mingbo doesn’t know about it, it’s still his lax discipline. This time, our Gu Family must make clear our position, Tingyu and you are a naturally matched pair, we won’t accept anyone else."
Hearing Mr. Gu’s words, Yiyi’s eyes were moved.
The two elders of the Gu Family have always supported her, which is so touching. If Grandpa and Grandma were like Gu Tingyu’s mother, then she and Gu Tingyu might have problems.
Meanwhile, Shu Mingbo was looking at Shu Qiang with uncontrollable anger, coldly saying: "Look at what a mess you’ve created, you look like a ghost now and still dare to cry in front of me. When you did those things, why didn’t you come to inform me first?"
Shu Qiang hurriedly looked at Shu Mingbo and said, "Cousin, I just wanted to stand up for Yunfang. Our Shu Family has such a good background, and Yunfang is such a nice girl, but Gu Tingyu didn’t choose her, instead going for a girl from the countryside, isn’t it infuriating? I just couldn’t bear it."
"You couldn’t bear it, then you should have made sure no one found out it was you. Now it’s all over Shangjing, everyone knows our family’s Yunfang couldn’t get Gu Tingyu’s affection, so she went and had his rival’s mother kidnapped. Our Shu Family members are now embarrassed to go out."
Mentioning this, Shu Qiang was full of gloom.
Originally, he thought this matter was foolproof, but he didn’t expect it to develop to this point. Ding Yuejun, clearly powerless, he could have wiped her out easily, but something unexpected happened midway.
"Cousin, it was those people from the Xie Family interfering, otherwise things might have gone in the direction we hoped."
Thinking of this, his heart was filled with hatred. This time was supposed to be a turning point for him; as long as he did well, his future would be broader, but he ended up failing miserably and breaking his leg.
The Xie brothers have always been aloof and uninvolved, yet this time they unexpectedly intervened.
Upon hearing this, Shu Mingbo cast a sidelong glance and said, "You go blaming the Xie Family, but what does our Shu Family have to compare with the Xie Family? The Xie Family’s foundation is much stronger than ours."
Hearing this, Shu Qiang hurriedly said, "Cousin, doesn’t this involve Cousin-in-law? Even if the Xie Family is powerful, compared to the Ding Family, they are insignificant. This time they meddled, we must let them know it’s not wise to interfere, and also take revenge on Mo Yiyi."
Shu Mingbo didn’t reply, but instead looked at Shu Qiang with mockery, saying: "I used to think you were good, capable and perceptive, but now you seem foolish. Can’t you see clearly yet? Gu Tingyu’s partner, she’s not simple."
After this incident, of course, he realized Mo Yiyi wasn’t simple, her master’s background was unfathomable, otherwise Shu Mingbo wouldn’t have sat idly by. After all, his mishap affected the Shu family’s reputation, as Family Head, Shu Mingbo should have regained some dignity, yet he did nothing.
"Cousin, are we just going to let this go?"
The defeat this time made his position within the Shu Family difficult, even Shu Mingbo had developed resentment towards him.
"If we don’t let it go, what else can we do? Do you know who that girl’s master is? She’s from the Yin sect, surely you’ve heard of the Yin sect, right? Our Shu Family can’t compare to the Xie Family, let alone the Yin sect. You should have investigated thoroughly before acting."
"What..."
Shu Qiang was full of shock, he never imagined Mo Yiyi would be from the Yin sect, but soon he felt relieved, only the Yin sect could make Shu Mingbo so fearful.
"Cousin, the Yin sect is always elusive, who knew that little girl would be one of their people."
Even to this day, he found it somewhat unbelievable, but he couldn’t afford to offend the Yin sect, so he clearly instructed his wife and daughter to give up on Gu Tingyu.
"Alright, let’s just drop this matter, but that woman Li Xue’er absolutely cannot be let off. If it weren’t for her, the Yin sect might not have traced back to you."
Mentioning this, Shu Qiang’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, he now truly regretted getting involved with Li Xue’er, "Cousin, don’t worry, I will handle that woman."
