Chapter 292 You are much better than Zheng Yuanxi
Gu Zhiyao looked at her cautiously, and said hesitantly, "Grandma He, are you alright? I'm sorry..."
“Silly girl, why are you apologizing? What does this have to do with you? It’s all Yifei’s own behavior. He likes you, but you could also hold a knife to his throat and force him not to like you, right? Besides, you haven’t used him to do anything bad, and you haven’t hurt him. You don’t need to apologize at all.”
"But Yifei is really a good person. He is kind, upright, and innocent, so I am still very sad and feel guilty."
"Yifei is indeed a very good-natured kid. He's even better than Ayi. Ayi is very smart, capable, and decisive, but he's not kind, especially when it comes to business rivals. He doesn't hold back at all and doesn't let anyone go just because he feels sorry for them. He's ruthless. Of course, a successful entrepreneur should be like him, but Yifei can't be like that. They each have their own strengths and characteristics. I just really didn't expect that Yifei liked you, and liked you for so many years... No wonder his reactions were different."
The old lady paused briefly before continuing, "That day I asked him if he had anyone he liked, and I even said I could help him get together with anyone he was interested in. I didn't expect that the person he chose was you. But this also shows that he has good taste, which is better than his uncle. Between you and Zheng Yuanxi, you are much better than Zheng Yuanxi!"
Gu Zhiyao smiled awkwardly and gave the old lady a grateful glance.
"However, I still don't agree with Yifei liking you, Ayao. You probably don't like Yifei, right? Since you can't like him, he should give up this idea as soon as possible. Otherwise, he'll get more and more deeply involved, which will not only hurt him but also disturb your life. Hmm, I'll think of a way to make Yifei give up his love for you."
"Grandma He, thank you. Originally, I didn't intend to come to you, but I really didn't know who else to turn to. I didn't dare to go to Yifei's mother rashly, but I was also worried that Yifei's mother would really resent me, thinking that I had harmed Yifei like this, and might even suspect that I had done something to Yifei that made him so infatuated! She is Yifei's mother, Chenchen's aunt, and also your granddaughter. I don't want to be her enemy. After thinking it over, I can only rely on your kindness towards me to come to you and see how to handle this matter. I'm really sorry to have troubled you."
"I was genuinely shocked, because I never expected this to happen. As for trouble, there isn't any. The fact that you came to me shows that I hold a rather special place in your heart, and I'm actually quite happy about that."
Gu Zhiyao's eyes immediately welled up with tears as she looked at the old man with gratitude.
After a while, the old lady spoke again, "It's decided on Yifei's matter. Zhiyao, don't worry about it, leave it to me. I will handle it well."
"Yes, thank you, Grandma He."
Gu Zhiyao stayed with the old lady for another two hours, chatting with her about many things, including her interactions with Yifei in Canada.
Gu Zhiyao kept praising Yifei and expressing her gratitude to him, but she didn't mention anything about Yifei's misconduct. The old lady felt a surge of relief as she looked at Gu Zhiyao's open and sincere demeanor.
Her Yifei is such a good child!
After Gu Zhiyao left, the old lady called He hope over. After listening, He hope asked directly, "Grandma, do you believe what Gu Zhiyao said? You completely believe it?"
"Yes, I believe you. She came to me about this on her own initiative. Admittedly, she might have some ulterior motives, but it's nothing serious, Xixi. Nobody's perfect. She's just afraid of being blamed by us. She did nothing wrong, because it really can't be blamed on her. It was all Yifei's wishful thinking. Grandma hopes you won't make things difficult for her. She's a good child, Xixi. I've already tried to persuade your brother not to bully her. I'm hoping you can help Grandma out here? Help Grandma keep an eye on her so she's not bullied?"
After hearing her grandmother's words, He hope was filled with mixed feelings. She really hadn't expected that her grandmother's feelings for Gu Zhiyao were so deep, even surpassing those for her own granddaughter!
He hope dared not force a bitter smile; his heart was pounding with excitement.
Grandma treats Gu Zhiyao so well, won't she feel jealous?
It wasn't entirely jealousy, but rather a feeling of unease. If Gu Zhiyao hadn't had any involvement with Yifei, she probably wouldn't have felt this discomfort.
It's all because of Yifei!
However, He hope had already guessed the old lady's thoughts and intentions, so she naturally wouldn't contradict her directly. She simply said, "I understand, Grandma."
Later, He hope met Zheng Yuanxi, or more precisely, Zheng Yuanxi came to her for help.
Looking at the pitiful Zheng Yuanxi, He Xi couldn't help but feel sorry for her and said guiltily, "Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with Gu Zhiyao's matter."
"Sister, why? Is it because of Grandma?" Zheng Yuanxi asked.
He hope remained silent, but his meaning was clear.
Zheng Yuanxi immediately continued her accusations, "Actually, when it comes to Grandma, I've never understood why she just doesn't like me. Many years ago, when I was with A-Yi, she clearly showed that she didn't like me. Later, I tried my best to please her and be good to her, but she still didn't like me. I'm sure I haven't done anything to offend her. Now she's even directly fallen for Gu Zhiyao. Isn't this blatantly going against me? Sometimes I think, I should just divorce A-Yi. That way, Grandma would be happy, and A-Yi wouldn't be caught in the middle. I know he must be in a lot of pain, but one is his own grandmother, and the other is his wife. He can't abandon either of them..."
"Uh, Yuanyuan, don't get agitated, don't overthink things, and don't say such spiteful and disheartening things all the time," He hope quickly added.
Although she didn't want to interfere in her brother's love life, she couldn't completely ignore Zheng Yuanxi's statement about wanting a divorce. Besides, Zheng Yuanxi mentioned their grandmother, and she didn't want her grandmother to be misunderstood by her brother because of this!
He hope then continued to persuade and comfort Zheng Yuanxi, "Grandma wasn't targeting you. Since she let Ayi marry you, she must be satisfied with you. She often tells me that you suffered a lot to give birth to Ayi's child, and she sees all your efforts. It's just that everyone expresses themselves differently."
“I used to comfort myself like that, but my illusions were completely shattered when Gu Zhiyao appeared. Grandma’s problem wasn’t her way of expressing herself. She could express her enthusiasm and affection for Gu Zhiyao. She didn’t like me from the bottom of her heart. I bet she said to Ayi a lot that it would be nice if Ayi’s wife was Gu Zhiyao.”
I have no right to interfere with who Grandma likes, but I just want to know why, instead of being sentenced to death without any explanation. Sister, could you please help me? Could you try to find out why Grandma doesn't like me? Why is she always dissatisfied with me? Sister, I'm begging you, only you can help me now. Please, for my sake, help me! Sister!
