Chapter 476 It's good to teach him a lesson.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyao's expression froze.
Zhao Guilan continued with feigned concern, "I've heard a lot about what happened between you and He Yi. You've suffered a lot these past years. As a woman myself, I understand how you feel about not being able to forgive him. No matter what, now that you have your father as your backing, no one will dare to bully you anymore, not even He Yi! Besides, I know a lot of people, including many talented young men. If you'd like, I can introduce you to some."
Heh—Gu Zhiyao smiled, looking at Zhao Guilan's sincere expression, as if she really cared about her, and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your concern."
"You're welcome, we're family."
"Okay. I'm leaving now. Aunt Zhao, you don't need to see me off." Gu Zhiyao said, then turned and left.
As she stepped out of the manor gate, she ran into He Yi, who was rushing over. He went straight to her, looked her up and down, and asked in a slightly anxious tone, "Are you alright?"
Gu Zhiyao was taken aback by his anxious and worried look for a moment, then said, "It's nothing."
"Don't meet her alone next time." He Yi looked at her, wanting to pull her into his arms, but ultimately restrained himself.
"Okay," Gu Zhiyao replied softly.
"Shall I take you to your grandma's?"
"Ah."
He Yi led her into the car, and they were silent for a moment. He Yi asked her about her meeting with Zhao Guilan, and she told him. She then said, "At the time, I thought about telling her about the car accident. I should have told her."
Seeing her somewhat depressed look, He Yi said, "I have a plan for this matter, you really don't need to rush."
“I know, but I still can’t control myself, especially after seeing her living so well and so carefree today. Compared to my mother who left this world so early, I feel nothing but hatred and resentment. Why can she do this, while my mother is completely different?”
He Yi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
He suddenly wondered if she might be thinking about her own situation!
He's really scared now, always afraid that she'll remember something from the past and then hate and loathe him.
Gu Zhiyao didn't notice his thoughts; her mind was entirely on Zhao Guilan, so she didn't say anything more. He Yi was in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say for the time being, so everyone fell silent. After a while, they arrived at the He family's old house.
A month had passed since their last meeting, and Gu Zhiyao naturally missed her grandmother very much. But she didn't expect that her maternal grandmother would also come.
“I was the one who notified my wife. She, like me, has been looking forward to your return day and night. Since Chenchen and Niuniu are related to us by blood, I can’t keep this happiness to myself, so I told her as soon as possible.”
Gu Zhiyao was deeply moved. She looked back and forth at her two dearest elders, both over eighty years old with white hair and growing old day by day. They were looking at her with kind and loving eyes. So she put one arm around each of them and hugged them both at the same time, choking back tears, and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma He, I'm sorry, Grandma."
The two old ladies knew what she had wronged, and they felt a pang of sadness and grief. Then, the old lady He said first, "It's okay, silly girl. That's how society is these days. You young people have your own lives. Although we are lonely, we will try our best to live our lives well. Don't worry."
"Old Ling is right. Grandma's biggest wish is for you to be happy and carefree every day."
At this moment, Niu Niu ran over and said some things to liven up the atmosphere. The two grandmothers were immediately amused and laughed heartily.
Gu Zhiyao watched all this silently with a sense of relief, her mood gradually relaxing, when suddenly her body swayed.
He Yi quickly put his arm around her. "What's wrong?"
When Gu Zhiyao saw the deep affection and concern in his eyes, an unknown emotion welled up in her heart. She then struggled slightly, straightened up, and said, "It's okay, I probably just lost my balance."
He Yi continued to look at her with doubt and worry. Gu Zhiyao approached the two old ladies and, together with Niu Niu, chatted happily with them.
Later, Grandma He called He Yi away to discuss some company matters, so Gu Zhiyao devoted herself to accompanying Grandma Zheng.
"Grandma, how's your appetite lately? Have you been eating a lot? You seem to have lost a lot of weight. Don't you like those dishes? If you want to eat something, just tell the nanny, and they'll make it for you."
"Hehe, that's how it is when people get old, but Grandma eats well every day. Even if she doesn't have a good appetite occasionally, it's nothing serious. Grandma has hope now and can take good care of herself, so don't worry." The old lady patted her hand and said.
Gu Zhiyao nodded, looking at her kind and amiable grandmother, wondering whether she should tell the old woman about Zhao Guilan's affairs, but she was also worried that the old woman would be troubled.
However, the old lady did ask her some questions, "Zhiyao, how are you and Ayi doing now? When I saw you come in together just now, I felt a surge of joy in my heart. Have you two made up?"
Gu Zhiyao was immediately stunned and stared at her grandmother.
"Anyone with eyes can see how much Ah Yi cares about you. Although he did some foolish things that you still hold a grudge against, it's precisely because you care that you can't let go, right? Besides, I see that your attitude towards him has clearly changed since you came back this time, which is a good thing."
"Grandma, did I make it that obvious? But I..." Gu Zhiyao said, unconsciously revealing a hint of grievance.
The old lady smiled gently. "Those involved are often blinded by their own feelings. Many times, you can't even see the changes in yourself, girl. Actually, you still want to give him a chance, otherwise you wouldn't have let him get even a step closer to you. It's just that you feel you can't forgive him so easily!"
Although Gu Zhiyao was unsure if her own heart felt the same way, she found herself unable to find any words to refute it.
She pouted, frowned, and pondered for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "You all advise me to give him a chance, but Chenchen and Niuniu like him so much, especially Niuniu. I can't imagine how Niuniu would react if I really cut ties with him one day. She probably wouldn't even want me as her mother anymore, she'd only want her father. As for Chenchen, although he hasn't said it, he grew up by He Yi's side, so he must have special feelings for He Yi too. Grandma, I'm really not willing to accept this!"
"Hehe, my silly girl, right now you're like someone lost in a fog, unable to find a way out, but your heart still has direction and a sense of purpose. And Grandma believes you'll eventually find your way out. But you're right, you can't forgive him so quickly. He needs to suffer a bit, hit some walls, and truly understand how hard it was to win you over so he can learn his lesson and cherish you more in the future. After all, your man isn't an ordinary man. He's handsome, and a dazzling figure with wealth and power. In the future, he'll inevitably attract many suitors. There are so many temptations in society; if he doesn't hold on, he'll be doomed. He needs to learn a lesson. So, if you don't want to forgive him so quickly, Grandma supports you, but Zhiyao..." The old lady's tone suddenly shifted.
