100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 539: She Has a Maternal Home Too
Chapter 539: Chapter 539: She Has a Maternal Home Too
Lan Shan obviously had been holding back for too long, and the more she spoke, the angrier she grew as she listed Leng Tou’s numerous "offenses."
Leng Tou, however, listened obediently. "Haven’t I taken you out now? Do you want to go to the kitchen? Come on, let’s go!"
"Pfft—" Seeing Leng Tou look crestfallen but nevertheless relishing it, Shen Letian couldn’t help but revel in schadenfreude on the side. In the past, Lanshan would be completely under his elder brother’s thumb, her speech timid and blushing with shyness, how could she be this fierce now!

As mealtime neared, more and more people were asking when Gu Hangshen would arrive.
Finally, Grandfather Gong said sternly to Xiaoqiao, "Tell Gu Hangshen to come in!"
"Huh?" Xiaoqiao was somewhat stunned—hadn’t Grandfather been adamantly against letting Gu Hangshen through the door?
Grandfather Gong, fuming, "He has to clean up the mess he’s made."
Xiaoqiao sighed; it seemed to be all about dealing with those uninvited guests.
However, Grandfather had finally allowed him to come in.
Thus, Xiaoqiao found a quiet corner to call Gu Hangshen.
"Hello, Gu Hangshen, Grandfather is letting you in!"
"Hmm."
Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes, sensing something was off. "Gu Hangshen, how can you be so calm? You didn’t do this on purpose, did you?"
"Hmm?" Gu Hangshen raised his tone, feigning ignorance.
Xiaoqiao was speechless; she was almost certain that he must have done it intentionally.
Gu Hangshen had been wanting to talk to Grandfather, but since Grandfather wasn’t even willing to see him, there was nowhere to give his explanations.
As long as he could enter, there would naturally be a chance to speak with Grandfather.
—
Gu Hangshen’s entry naturally caused quite a stir.
Gu Hangshen simply greeted everyone politely and cordially with a "Thank you all for coming."
A guest is a guest, even an unexpected one, and it wouldn’t be proper to just send them away!
And in front of so many people, Grandfather Gong naturally couldn’t be too cold to Gu Hangshen; he still had to maintain appearances.
Shen Letian, clever as ever, had already helped to send the other people away, leaving only Gu Hangshen and Grandfather Gong.
Gu Hangshen, with a sincerely humble posture, "Grandfather, if the trials of these past days have not been sufficient! I hope you can tell me what it will take for you to believe in me?"
Instead of getting angry, Grandfather Gong just kept sighing, his expression weary, "Even if I believe you, what about it? Can you accommodate Xiaoqiao, but can your family do the same?"
Gu Hangshen hurriedly explained, "I’ve already made it clear to my parents! They..."
But Grandfather Gong just sighed with a wry smile, "If they had no objections to Xiaoqiao, why didn’t they come today? They’ve attended every year in the past! Ever since you married Xiaoqiao, they have never set foot in the Gong residence again! Is my daughter really so unwelcome? Even if Xiaoqiao can tolerate it, I, as an old man, cannot! Don’t think that because she has no parents to fend for her you can bully her as you please. As long as I am alive for one more day, Xiaoqiao will have a family to back her up!"
Facing Grandfather Gong’s words, Gu Hangshen truly had no rebuttal.
All that needed to be said to his parents he had said, and although they verbally agreed with him, what they truly thought in their hearts, he couldn’t be sure, especially his father because of his preference for Xiao Rou, had deep-seated prejudices against Xiaoqiao.
Gu Hangshen mentioned Grandfather Gong’s birthday as well, but his father only said to send some gifts over and did not mention coming himself.
