100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 542: Bitterness Ends, Sweetness Begins

Mrs. Gu looked nervously towards Xiaoqiao, "And Xiaoqiao, are you willing to forgive us?"

As she spoke, she tugged at her husband’s sleeve, still unable to swallow their pride even at this point.

She didn’t consider how terribly they had treated the child at the time, which was probably the most difficult period in her life, yet the two elders had aggressively forced her to divorce Hangshen without understanding the situation.

"We were indeed in the wrong. If you’re willing to come back, we’ll never mistreat you again!" Mr. Gu also made his stance clear.

Xiaoqiao quickly interjected, "Dad, Mom, please don’t say anymore. After all, you were unaware at the time. I understand your intentions were good — after all, who doesn’t want the best for their son?"

Xiaoqiao’s words were gracious and appropriate. By addressing them as Mom and Dad, she signaled her forgiveness, and her subsequent remarks preserved the dignity of the elders. This delighted both Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu.

"This child is just too sensible!"

As Mrs. Gu spoke, her expression became solemn again, "However, Xiaoqiao, there’s something I still need to tell you. Strictly speaking, as the daughter-in-law of the Gu family who has been wronged, we should definitely seek justice for you. Originally, she should have been exposed for kidnapping and framing you, and sent to jail for it! freewebnøvel.coɱ

We’ve always treated them as friends, but who knew they only thought of using the Gu Family and then turned to bite us when they didn’t get what they wanted!

But after all, our families were friends for generations, even knowing now how malicious their intentions were and what they did behind our backs, the most we’ll do is avoid any future dealings, not to burn bridges. Moreover, they’re not in a good position now; Gong Corporation has gone bankrupt, and they’re not doing well abroad. There is still some old friendship there. It wouldn’t be right to kick them while they’re down. Xiaoqiao, you understand, right?"

Xiaoqiao smiled in relief, "Mom, I would’ve understood even if you hadn’t said anything. Even if those people weren’t kind to me, they’re still Grandpa’s relatives. Even just for Grandpa’s sake, I couldn’t be too harsh. They’re already reaping what they’ve sown."

Only then did Mrs. Gu truly feel relieved, and Mr. Gu looked at her with a hint of admiration.

Every word the child said was incredibly charming and considerate, not taking advantage of being right to pester them further, and comforting them without putting them in a difficult position.

It seems he worried too much and underestimated Hangshen’s ability to judge character...

Even if... even if she was Huo Yandong’s daughter, he could rest easy now!

Finally, he had fulfilled the trust of an old friend!

They had originally agreed to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Gu the day after tomorrow, but at Grandpa Gong’s 80th birthday celebration, all issues were resolved.

After dinner, Grandpa Gong called Hangshen upstairs for a long conversation.

Xiaoqiao held Xiao Nian downstairs, waiting until she started to feel sleepy, when Hangshen finally came down, his face filled with long-absent joy.

Xiaoqiao rubbed her eyes, "Good news?"

Xiao Nian chimed in, "Daddy, what’s the good news?"

Hangshen kissed the elder and then the younger affectionately, his eyes brimming with tenderness, "Tomorrow, I can bring you both home!"

Xiaoqiao smiled broadly, "Congratulations, husband!"

Xiao Nian followed suit, "Congratulations, Daddy!"

"Congratulations to us all!" Hangshen said, amused, looking at the lively pair of mother and son.

At last, the hardship had given way to sweetness...
