Chapter 63: Are You and Yu Happy Together? (1)
Grandpa Gu said, “Little Weilai, the Gu family’s regular get-together is this weekend. Even though that rascal won’t allow us to publicize your marriage, I still want you to meet the family. Get Yu to bring you along for the event.”
Xu Weilai knew that Grandpa Gu meant well, but given the way her relations.h.i.+p with Gu Yu currently was, it would be impossible to get him to agree to this!
She pursed her lips and couldn’t find the words to reply.
As she remained silent, Grandpa Gu seemed to sense that something was amiss. His voice deepened as he asked, “Little Weilai, has Yu been bullying you again? Has he been coming home at night lately?”
Xu Weilai began to panic and quickly answered, “No, he… he hasn’t bullied me. And… and yes, he’s been coming home.”
It wasn’t her intention to lie to Grandpa Gu. But first of all, she didn’t want Grandpa Gu to worry about her, and secondly, she didn’t want Grandpa Gu getting angry with Gu Yu and forcing him to do something against his will.
After all, Grandpa Gu could force Gu Yu to go home, but he could never force Gu Yu to have a change of heart. If Gu Yu didn’t like her, nothing would change that!
If Gu Yu was forced to do something he didn’t want to do, she’d be the one that ended up suffering at his hands. She would prefer to not cross paths with him at all—that way, they’d both be content.
Grandpa Gu fell silent. It was as if he was pondering how much truth there was to her words. After a long pause, he asked, “Little Weilai, are you and Yu happy together?”
Are you and Yu happy together?
That simple question caused Xu Weilai’s eyes to redden.
Even her parents had never asked her that question. They didn’t care whether or not she was happy. All they cared about was if she could hold on to her position as the mistress of the Gu household.
