The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 418: Chapter 417: Thoughts

Hearing Yiyi’s words, Gu Tingting smiled and immediately said, ”I didn’t eat anything special, I just suddenly grew taller.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi didn’t ask any more questions.

Zhuang Caixin looked at Yiyi with some curiosity and asked, ”Yiyi, I heard that a few days ago your mother was set up by someone. Is everything okay now?”

”Second aunt, don’t worry, nothing happened.”

Seeing Yiyi say this, Zhuang Caixin quickly said, ”That’s good.” But she didn’t stop there and instead asked inquisitively, ”Did your mother know the second master of the Wei family before?”

Hearing this, Yiyi raised her eyebrows and then said, ”A long time ago, Uncle Wei saved my mother once when he was still in the south, but they aren’t very familiar with each other. They’ve only met once before, and at the time, my mother didn’t know it was Uncle Wei who rescued her.”

”So that’s how it is.”

Zhuang Caixin smiled and said, seemingly unintentionally, ”It seems your mother and the second master of the Wei family are quite fated.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi’s smile faded slightly, and she said, ”Uncle Wei indeed has helped us a lot. We owe him a great deal, and if there’s a chance in the future, I will properly thank him.” Yiyi emphasized the ”us” to make it clear that Wei Hanliang had helped not just her mother, but her as well.

Zhuang Caixin wanted to say more, but Gu Yaozhong frowned and said, ”Alright, you’re the only one who talks so much. It’s rare for Yiyi to come over, and you’re just pulling her aside, asking all sorts of questions.” He finished with a warning look at his wife.

Old Mrs. Gu also gave the younger daughter-in-law a glare.

This was really like bringing up a pot that didn’t boil — being set up isn’t something to be proud of, yet this second daughter-in-law just had to mention it and keep bombarding Yiyi with questions, showing a real lack of tact.

Upon hearing her husband’s words and seeing Old Mrs. Gu’s expression, Zhuang Caixin finally held back from saying more.

”Mom and Dad, we’re here.”

At this moment, Gu Yaohua and his wife Yu Qiulan walked in together. Seeing everyone present, they couldn’t help but say, ”We were delayed on the road, so we are a bit late.”

Upon hearing this from her eldest son, Old Mrs. Gu chirped with a smile, ”You’re not late, we haven’t even started lunch yet.”

Yu Qiulan had already reached Yiyi’s side, warmly asking her about her recent situation.

Yiyi smiled and shared some interesting stories from school, and then talked to her about other matters.

Seeing Yiyi and the eldest daughter-in-law getting along so well, Old Mrs. Gu couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction. She then quickly went to the kitchen to check, and seeing that the food was almost ready, she smiled and called everyone to eat.

Hearing Old Mrs. Gu’s words, Mr. Gu directly announced, ”Alright, let’s eat.”

The whole family gathered around one table. After Mr. Gu moved his chopsticks, everyone else started to eat too. Gu Tingyu always took good care of Yiyi, peeling shrimp and deboning fish for her meticulously.

Seeing Gu Tingyu like this, Old Mrs. Gu praised, ”Tingyu is still the most attentive,” then looked at Gu Tinghao and asked, ”Tinghao, you’re not young anymore, when will you also bring someone home?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Tinghao replied, ”Grandma, Big Brother hasn’t married yet, so I’m not in a rush.”

”What do you mean by ’not in a rush’? You should look at your age. Besides, Tingyu and Yiyi have been engaged for a long time. They’re just waiting for Yiyi to graduate, and they can get married right away. You don’t even have a partner yet, how can you compare with your big brother?”

Gu Tinghao was at a loss for words and pleaded, ”Grandma, I’m really busy every day and don’t have time to find someone.”

Old Mrs. Gu glanced at her little grandson, then looked at Yiyi with a bright smile and said, ”Yiyi, if you know any suitable candidates, introduce them to Tinghao.”

Zhuang Caixin also nodded in agreement at the side, ”Yes, Yiyi, if you know any good girls, you must introduce them to our Tinghao.”

”Okay, if there’s someone suitable, I’ll let you know.”

Seeing Yiyi agree, Old Mrs. Gu was very pleased.

However, Gu Tingting seized a moment when others weren’t paying attention, lowered her head, and sulked. Now that Yiyi’s status had changed, her mother was currying favor with her to the point of absurdity. Yet, she knew that circumstances were stronger than individuals, so even if she was reluctant, she had to put on a smile. But after dinner, back home, she vented her displeasure.

”Mom, how could you let Ding Yiyi introduce someone to my brother? What if she introduces someone unsuitable?”

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Caixin squinted at her and said, ”You think I don’t know that? If they’re unsuitable, we can just say they’re not a match. If they’re suitable, then your brother should work harder.”

Seeing that her mother had it all planned out, Gu Tingting felt reassured. But thinking about forcing herself to smile when encountering Ding Yiyi, she felt unamused. ”Mom, do I really have to smile like a fool every time I see Ding Yiyi?”

”What Ding Yiyi? That’s your sister-in-law. Next time, remember to sweeten your words and call her sister-in-law.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Tingting sighed, her expression full of reluctance.

”Alright, Yiyi is actually quite nice. You should try to connect and build a good relationship with her.”

Since her mother kept saying this, Gu Tingting dropped the subject.

While the mother and daughter were talking, Gu Yaozhong came in. Seeing his daughter there, he directly said, ”Tingting, I need to talk to your mother, you go to your room and rest.”

Hearing this, Gu Tingting stood up and went to her room.

Zhuang Caixin looked at her husband and asked, ”What do you want to talk to me about?”

”You should give up your ideas early on. Do you think Yiyi’s mother would be interested in your cousin?”

”What’s wrong with my cousin? Not only does he have good looks, but he also has a good work unit. Why wouldn’t he be a match for Yiyi’s mother? Today’s all your fault for not letting me ask more about whether Yiyi’s mother and Wei Hanliang have any relationship, if there’s nothing between them, then my cousin still has a chance.” Although she thought her cousin Zhuang Xinhe was great, he couldn’t compare with the high-status Wei Hanliang.

Upon hearing his wife’s words, Gu Yaozhong sneered and said, ”Your cousin’s external conditions are good, but what about his personality? If he wasn’t so irritable and had a habit of hitting people, do you think his wife would have divorced him? I advise you to be realistic and stop daydreaming. Do you think Old Ding wouldn’t know about the Zhuang family’s troubles and would agree to marry off his newly found eldest daughter like that?”

Seeing her husband belittling her family, Zhuang Caixin was displeased.

”As long as Yiyi’s mother likes him, Old Ding can’t stop his daughter from seeking happiness again.” So she had this idea from the start, hoping to have Yiyi’s mother and her cousin spend time together. As long as Ding Yuejun really took to her cousin, others couldn’t stop it.

”Moreover, Xinhe also said he won’t lose his temper again in the future.”
