Chapter 17: Kick out the White Moonlight, the Movie Emperor is Mine! - 17
“I was young and reckless before, and I didn’t understand my parents’ good intentions and didn’t listen to them, which made them sad. I have already apologized to them! Besides, what happened before has nothing to do with you. My parents are very open-minded people and they don’t judge people with prejudice.”
Having spent time with Gu Zhishen, Mu Wanwan found him to be a very good person, at least genuinely kind to her.
In my youth, I mistook ignorance and infatuation for love. Now that I've met her, it's not too late to turn back and get back on the right path.
"It's alright, we'll take good care of them together from now on."
Mu Wanwan's awkward attempts at comforting him warmed his heart.
The door to the private room opened, revealing a huge round table in the center of the hall that could comfortably seat 10 people.
Two elderly women sat at the head of the table. One, dressed in a formal suit, appeared to be in his early fifties and sat upright. The other, wearing a long black dress, was very well-maintained with exquisite makeup. She wore no jewelry, but this did not detract from her elegance. On her wrist was a bright green bracelet of excellent quality, clearly a high-end piece that must be quite valuable.
She could hardly imagine how explosive the scene would be if they offered her a hundred million to leave their son immediately.
It seems that Gu Zhishen's background is more complicated than she thought.
"Ah Shen, this must be Wanwan!"
When Gu's mother saw them come in, she warmly took Mu Wanwan's hand and stood up to greet her.
"Good child! Come and sit here."
Mu Wanwan was so nervous and at a loss that she lowered her head and followed in her mother's footsteps.
The four finally sat down, and Mu Wanwan greeted them obediently, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
Mr. Gu's dark face startled Mu Wanwan. Did he not like her?
Gu's mother had a gentle smile on her face and held her hand without letting go. Then she took out a black card from her bag.
"Wanwan, please accept this card."
The pig looked completely naive and said, "Master, you're going to be rich!"
"Auntie, this..."
She looked at Gu Zhishen, bewildered, and Gu Zhishen simply nodded at her. What did that nod mean? Say something! Can you accept it or not?
Seeing that she wouldn't accept it, Gu's mother remembered what her son had said: Mu Wanwan was timid and simple-minded.
He quickly explained, "Wanwan, don't be nervous. It's a custom in our hometown for the in-laws to give a gift when the daughter-in-law meets her parents-in-law. Don't feel burdened. You and Ashen are already married. This gift is also a thank you for taking in my Ashen, this single dog."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhishen immediately snapped at his mother, "Mom, is my market value really that bad? The number of people who like me could circle the earth twice. Am I really that bad?"
Gu's mother laughed smugly, "Am I wrong? If it weren't for Wanwan's kind heart in taking you in, you'd still be a single dog!"
Mu Wanwan wanted to laugh but dared not, because her mother's criticism was the most lethal!
However, she thought about it carefully again. They used to dislike Mo Ziting, but Mo Ziting was a well-known figure, while she was just an unknown kindergarten teacher. Shouldn't they look down on her even more?
“Auntie, I have a job and a monthly salary that’s enough to live on. Besides, I’m still young and able-bodied, and I can still earn a lot of money. This is your retirement money, and I can’t accept it.”
Upon hearing this, Gu's mother was very pleased. From the moment she entered the door and saw her, she had a woman's intuition and felt that this girl was quite good. If this black card were given to a gold digger, she would have eagerly accepted it.
Moreover, it seems that Gu Zhishen did not tell her what his family did for a living.
So she assumed they were giving her their savings like any other family, and even worried it was their retirement money.
I never imagined that after my son's eyesight improved, he would find such a wonderful girl.
Gu Zhishen snatched the card from his mother's hand and shoved it into Mu Wanwan's hand. "We're family! This is from your mother, so take it. Spend the money however you want."
The bank card felt like a hot potato to her; she didn't know what to do.
"Mom, dinner is almost ready. I'm taking Wanwan to wash her hands."
After saying that, he pulled Mu Wanwan up and headed towards the restroom.
"Old man, why are you looking so sullen? Anyone who didn't know better would think you're some big shot from the underworld. What's with the airs?"
His wife's criticism was particularly damaging. Gu's father rubbed his face and retorted, "Really? I practiced in front of the mirror at home so many times. Is my expression still weird? I can be smiling the whole time!"
Mother Gu was furious. What smile? She clearly had a dark expression on her face. She must have frightened Wanwan just now.
"Your dark face? Don't you even look at Wanwan's reaction?"
Let me tell you, Lao Gu, Wanwan is clearly a good girl, unlike Mo Ziting. If it weren't for Wanwan's help this time, I think she would be a perfect daughter-in-law for our family.
This time, thanks to Wanwan, we managed to persuade him to come back. When I called, my son wouldn't even answer, but then he called back to say he wanted to bring his wife to see us. You should be secretly thrilled!
Gu's mother couldn't help but sigh, "You know how stubborn Ah Shen is. After falling out with the family for Mo Ziting, he hasn't even come home for the New Year once. Every time we have a family reunion dinner, it's just the two of us sitting in the empty house."
She never wanted to experience that feeling of helplessness again.
"Over the years, our son has been able to sit down and eat with us in peace, thanks to Wanwan."
That child looks soft-hearted and easy to bully and manipulate. Who knows what underhanded tricks her son used to lure her here.
From the moment he entered, Ah Shen's gaze remained fixed on Wan Wan, a constant smile on his face. In my opinion, Ah Shen being with Wan Wan is far better than being with Mo Ziting.
During their earlier phone call, Gu Zhishen specifically emphasized that he wanted to meet them because of Mu Wanwan. He didn't want Wanwan to think there were problems in their family, and he wouldn't have wanted to go home if it weren't for her. He also stressed that Wanwan had coaxed him for a long time before he agreed to come with her. He even told his mother that he had tricked Mu Wanwan into marrying him, and warned them to be careful what they said so as not to scare their future wife away. From her son's words, she could sense that her son was a man-eating wolf, and Wanwan was a pitiful little white rabbit.
Mu Wanwan was pinned against the bathroom wall by him, and during the wall slam, he held her firmly in his arms.
"Baby, are you nervous?" Afraid that the cold tiles would chill her, Gu Zhishen placed his arm between her and the wall, separating them.
“Honey, we can’t accept the money your parents are giving us for their retirement.” She stared at the card in her hand.
“Although we will support them in the future, they still need to keep some money on them for themselves. Honey, let’s return the card to them. We really can’t accept it.”
My wife is simple and kind, respectful to elders and filial. I thank God that he found such a wonderful woman.
"Honey, my family is actually quite wealthy. This amount of money is nothing to them. Just accept it without feeling guilty."
