The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Chapter 224 Not enough trouble yet

"Old Gu, forget it. It's just that the two children were destined to be apart. If Yun Shu were still here, that child would be so much better than Li Mengsheng's two daughters."

Xie Huixin, who was standing to the side, also mocked, "Gu Cheng, do you regret abandoning Yanxia back then? If you had been with Yanxia back then, maybe your family would be doing much better now."

"Hehe! Yes! I regret it now, but there's no going back. The Gu family is probably getting their just desserts now."

At this moment, Gu Cheng thought of his own family and Ming Kun's previous rejection of the marriage proposal. He realized that the Gu family had no hope of rising again and would never be able to surpass the Sheng family. Among the descendants, his younger brother's son, Yunxiang, was a sickly and useless fellow, which was truly disappointing.

In contrast, although Huainan of the old Sheng family is unable to have children, the Sheng family has many descendants and does not lack the old Sheng family, which is why Xie Huixin has been so arrogant all these years.

"Huixin, that's enough! Old Gu is also feeling bad. We can't entirely blame him for what happened back then. Which of us can truly make our own decisions about our life's major events? Of course, I'm an exception." Back then, Sheng himself took a liking to Xie Huixin and went to his father to talk to him. As a result, his father felt that Huixin's family background and other aspects were a good match for the Sheng family, so he didn't object. Besides, she was the youngest son and didn't have to bear the burden of the family.

Xie Huixin sighed as she listened to his words, thankfully her family background was decent, unlike Yanxia who was a country woman, so a woman's birth was also very important.

Gu Cheng returned home filled with remorse, but he didn't stay long because the house felt too oppressive and he couldn't stand it. He asked his driver to take him away for a few days before returning.

No sooner had Gu Cheng left than Li Meng cursed, "That damned man! His daughter got divorced and he doesn't care at all. He's off again. He must have another woman outside. He's been staying out more and more often these past two years. Don't think she doesn't know. These past two years, they've both gotten older and haven't had any marital relations. No wonder she's aging so fast. Don't let her find out which vixen is behind this, or she'll never let Gu Cheng off the hook."

"Mom, why does Dad seem to dislike staying at home more and more?" Yun Huan didn't see the angry expression on Li Meng's face.

"You idiot! You know Mom is in a bad mood, and you bring it up again. I've raised you two for nothing. You can't help Mom at all, you only hold her back. Why are other people's children so smart and ambitious, and their parents don't have to worry about them at all?"

"Mom, are you talking about Yunshu? That person is probably reincarnated long ago. What's worse is her husband. I asked Dad to talk to him and ask him to marry me, but he still looked down on me and said he wanted to avenge Yunshu. Honestly, why couldn't he just let go of such a good man?"

“You still want your dad to do this? We can’t afford to mess with that man now. Stop trying to get close to him. You two better behave yourselves from now on. If you cause any more trouble, the Gu family really won’t be able to tolerate the three of us, mother and daughters.”

"Mom, we haven't done anything, don't worry!"

Yunle wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. These past few days, she had tried her best to act pitiful at the Sheng family, even faking a suicide attempt, but unfortunately, she hadn't gained anyone's sympathy, especially Huainan, whose phone was switched off and she couldn't get through to him.

Her family left her to fend for herself, especially her father, Gu Cheng, who had completely given up on her. Even her own sister would occasionally mock her, and her mother's eyes were filled with disappointment. She had fallen from her position as Mrs. Sheng, which everyone envied, and the entire compound was laughing at her. Her life seemed hopeless, but she refused to be ridiculed. One day, she would climb back up and deliver a severe blow to those who had mocked her.

When Huainan returned home, the house was already quiet. He wanted to go upstairs, but his mother kept him there.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

“Nan Nan, you’re divorced now. It’s all because of that damn Gu Yunle. She’s wasted these past few years. Mom is going to arrange a blind date for you in a few days.”

Huai Nan frowned upon hearing this. Hadn't his mother caused enough trouble yet? He couldn't help but retort angrily, "Mom, haven't you caused enough trouble all these years? Of all the women I hate, Gu Yunle is the most, and you are the second most hated. Are you really my mother? Why are you always causing trouble? Can't you shift your focus and do something else? Your son is divorced and can't have children with other women. Would a normal family's daughter want your son?" After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs without looking back.

"Husband, Nan Nan actually said he hates me! I'm his mother! How could he say that about his mother?" Xie Huixin was devastated by Huai Nan's words and her face turned pale instantly.

“Huixin, Nannan is all grown up now, almost thirty years old. Don’t treat him like a child. Besides, he just got divorced, and you’re already making him go on blind dates. Anyone would be angry in that situation. Let him go! Let him make his own decision this time. Also, he has low self-esteem, so even if he goes on blind dates, he’ll reject all the potential partners.” Sheng Dongyang said earnestly, not wanting to put his son through any more trouble.

“But people my age are already grandmothers, and Nan Nan doesn’t even have a boyfriend. It’s really hard to stand it.”

"What's the point of having a partner? Maybe... we'll never be grandparents in this lifetime."

"Tch! You jinx! Even if Nan Nan isn't good, we can just adopt one. Putting aside that crazy woman Yun Le, Ze Ze is still pretty good. How about this? Let's talk to Old Gu and discuss with him. We've been raising Kang Kang for three years, so let's bring him back and raise him again. Our family is so big, we're not afraid of raising another grandson."

"Would Yunle agree? Zeze is a good child, but Yunle is always scolding him. If he wants to come over, what about Yunle..."

"Whatever she disagrees with, it's all her own doing. We're already being lenient by not causing trouble for the Gu family. Let's talk to Old Gu! If he agrees, Yunle can't do anything about it. Old Gu is the sole breadwinner for the whole family. His two daughters are so grown up, yet they stay at home all the time and don't even have decent jobs. Especially Li Meng, who has reportedly developed a gambling addiction in the past year and goes out to gamble every day. With such a messy family, it's no wonder Gu Cheng doesn't want to stay at home much."

"Huixin, stop criticizing the Gu family. Our family hasn't gotten much better in the past few years, so don't bother Nannan. Sometimes, ignoring things can bring unexpected joy."

“What joy could there be? Sigh…” Huixin sighed.

She doesn't even know her own son after all these years. He's very introverted and has a sharp eye for talent. Unless a woman actively pursues him, he'll be no different from a monk for the rest of his life. Otherwise, why would she always worry about his marriage?

"Go lie down for a while. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Who knows, by the end of the year you might have a daughter-in-law and a grandson."

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. I've been up and about since this morning, and my head is throbbing. I'm going upstairs to lie down for a bit." With that, Huixin rubbed her forehead and went upstairs.
