The evil stepmother is also doing her best for the motherland today.

Following Gu Minzheng out today, Xu Jingyi's previous worries disappeared. I have to say that looking at the plants and trees and breathing the fresh air, people will become relaxed unconsciously.

She stretched out her hand and took Gu Minzheng's hand. Gu Minzheng paused and turned to look at their clasped hands. The corners of his lips rose, making the outline of his face no longer so clear.

He held Xu Jingyi's hand tightly and pulled Xu Jingyi around the garden with some strength. Both of them were in a good mood.

To be honest, the garden is quite large. By the time the two of them returned from their stroll, two hours had passed and lunch time was not far away.

The old lady is more taboo about talking about things before eating, for fear of affecting people's mood during the meal, so after lunch, the two of them were called into the study by the old lady.

Entering the study, Gu Minzheng pulled Xu Jingyi to find a seat and sit down. Xu Jingyi secretly tugged on Gu Minzheng's sleeves, trying to make people restrain themselves.

Who knew that Gu Minzheng kept a smile on her lips and said nothing, but the hand on her body was pressed with some force, preventing Xu Jingyi from standing up. Xu Jingyi could only secretly look at the old lady's expression.

The old lady had no expression on her face. She just glanced at Gu Minzheng, and then said calmly: "I called you two here today. Do you know why?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingyi became a little embarrassed and fidgeted. She opened her mouth to speak, but Gu Minzheng beat her to it: "I did what happened to the third uncle."

The old lady snorted coldly: "You are very confident."

"Grandma, Min Zheng is doing this for me, you..."

"Who let him bully my wife?"

Xu Jingyi's words were interrupted by Gu Minzheng. Gu Minzheng squeezed her hand and looked at the old lady. He knew that the old lady disliked him for doing too much.

The old lady looked at Gu Minzheng like this and sighed. Gu Sanbo and Third Aunt had been coming to her every day to cry and complain. The old lady naturally knew her grandson well and knew that it must be the third brother and his wife who were at fault first. In private, she I also found someone to investigate the matter and got a general idea.

"The third brother and his wife are a bit...but after all, it's you third uncle. If you don't leave any room for others, you won't be afraid of people outside poking your back."

Afraid that Gu Minzheng would say something that would make the old lady angry again, Xu Jingyi was the first to admit her mistake and said:

"It is true that we went too far in this matter. Min Zheng did it for me. I was wrong before. Grandma, please think we can give some compensation to the third uncle and the others."

With Xu Jingyi acting as a palliative, the old lady's face improved a lot: "There is no need for compensation. What they have left in their hands is enough for them to enjoy it for a lifetime. Jingyi, grandma knows that you are indeed somewhat smart. In terms of company management, You've done a good job, but some things are not black and white, especially since Min Zheng also manages the Gu family's main industry. As his wife, you still have a lot to learn."

"I don't need my wife to make sacrifices for me. You also said that Gu's industry is so big, and you have to humiliate her like this. It's okay if you don't want this industry."

The old lady was not angry when she heard this. She looked at her second grandson. In the past, the eldest grandson had always been trained in the family as a successor, while the second grandson was more about letting him follow his heart. , everything was fine at first, but who knew what happened next would be so unexpected, and the second grandson came directly to take over the family business. She knew how difficult it was at that time, and she forced a high-spirited young man to hide his joy and anger. As a person at heart, this is why my grandson has been so protective of someone for so many years. It's just that he cares too much when he gets old.

Xu Jingyi looked at her grandma's stunned expression, frowned slightly, pulled Gu Minzheng, and whispered in someone's ear: "Follow grandma, don't let grandma worry about us."

"I thought differently. Forget it. From now on, the Gu family will leave it to you two. You can just do what you want, but you don't have to go too far." Hearing this, Gu Minzheng looked at the old lady's expression and said, "Well, don't worry. , I know it well."

"Just be aware of it, Jingyi. If you have nothing to do, come to the old house with your children to play. Don't be restrained. Grandma is not as old-fashioned as you think."

"Grandma, why are you so old-fashioned? I was a little busy before. I will definitely bring my children here more often. You can just stop worrying about us."

"I remember."

Xu Jingyi saw the tired look on the old lady's face. After talking to the old lady for a while, she took Gu Minzheng and left the study. She subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when she walked out of the study.

Hearing the chuckle coming from above her head, Xu Jingyi raised her head and glared at the man, and said angrily: "Tell me what you are so stubborn about, and you are not afraid of making grandma angry."

"Think too much. The old lady is not as fragile as you think. She has a clear mind. You see, she didn't figure it out in a while." Gu Minzheng raised his hand and scratched the tip of Xu Jingyi's nose and said with a smile.

"You've said both the good and the bad, what else can I say?"

Seeing Xu Jingyi's speechless expression, Gu Minzheng pinched her soft cheeks with a smile in his eyes, and picked her up before she could get angry.

"What are you doing? Put me down quickly."

Xu Jingyi was startled. She was afraid of being noticed and patted Gu Minzheng on the shoulder while lowering her voice.

"It's okay. What's there to be afraid of? We're legal. Let's go. We've been shopping all morning. You should be tired by now. Let's take a nap first."

After struggling for a few times, she found that the man would not let go of her. Xu Jingyi gave up her struggle and obediently put her arms around Gu Minzheng's neck, letting him lead her all the way to the bedroom.

The two of them were lying on the bed, Xu Jingyi automatically nestled into Gu Minzheng's arms, playing with the buttons on his chest, and whispered: "Gu Minzheng, actually after thinking about it, I feel that grandma is right. I have never learned how to be a housewife, and no one has taught me before. I have to figure out everything on my own, which is indeed a bit bad. What do you think I should sign up for a class?"

When Gu Minzheng heard this, he lowered his eyes and glanced at Xu Jingyi. He raised his hand and held her hand tightly: "No need, you can do whatever you want. I'm not useless enough to need you to suffer."

When Xu Jingyi heard Gu Minzheng's words, she felt sweet and smiled.

"This is your decision, don't go back on your word later."

"Yes, that's what I said." After saying that, he kissed the top of the woman's head, his tone full of doting.

After talking, Xu Jingyi felt sleepy and fell asleep after a while. Listening to the gentle breathing in her arms, Gu Minzheng also relaxed, hugged the person in her arms tightly and closed her eyes.

The two of them didn't sleep very long, and woke up in about an hour. When Xu Jingyi woke up, Gu Minzheng was already awake, but he didn't get up. Instead, he was holding someone in one hand and processing documents with his mobile phone in the other. (End of chapter)
