Chapter 399 In short, it's not you!
A moment later, the old lady said to He hope with a stern face, "Xi Xi, I don't know what you did to Gu Zhiyao today, but I'm officially warning you, don't cause her any more trouble. Just like Yifei said, she's not the one in the wrong. If you still consider me your grandmother, listen to me, don't hurt her anymore, and don't force your child to really sever ties with you!"
Hearing Yifei's words and seeing him cry so bitterly, He Xi felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and she even felt like she was being struck by lightning. On one hand, she felt sorry for her son, but on the other hand, she hated Gu Zhiyao and felt that all of this was caused by Gu Zhiyao!
Seeing her grandmother scolding and reprimanding her in the same way, she felt even more furious.
Of course, she couldn't show these emotions to the old lady.
She was furious and stormed off.
The air was silent for a moment before the old lady turned to He Yi and said earnestly and seriously, "Yi, you are not allowed to bully Yao either. I know about Zheng Yuanxi's kidnapping of Niu Niu. I don't care if you didn't pursue it to get a smooth divorce from her, or if there were other reasons. Now that other evidence has been found, it means that justice will prevail and she deserves to die. You are not allowed to help her anymore, or I will not be polite to you!"
He Yi remained silent, his eyes unconsciously fixed on Yi Fei.
The old lady wiped away the last traces of tears from Yifei's eyes and said, "Good child, there's nothing wrong with loving someone, and you don't need to feel embarrassed. The other person doesn't love you because you haven't met her requirements yet. You don't need to be discouraged. Strive to become better and gradually meet her requirements, and she will naturally like you."
"Great-Grandma, aren't you angry with me?" Yifei asked.
The old lady shook her head. "Life is a long journey, and it's not easy to find a partner who loves you. Yao is a good girl, and it's normal for you to like her. Since she and Xiao Lin aren't really husband and wife, you can go after her. Your great-grandmother wishes you well and believes that you can definitely win her over and get what you want."
These were probably the most touching words Yifei had ever heard.
His parents, and even his uncle, did everything they could to stop him from pursuing Gu Zhiyao. Although he had agreed to make a deal with his father that he would not marry Gu Zhiyao in the future, he was still very gratified to hear his great-grandmother say that.
He suddenly laughed.
"Silly child." The old lady touched his face tenderly again.
No one noticed that He Yi frowned deeply. His grandmother's words made him feel extremely uncomfortable and inexplicably angry.
Yifei left first.
The old lady looked at He Yi, who was motionless and had a deep expression, and said, "You're still here? I thought you had left too. You must be very busy with work. Since your sister and Yifei have both left, you can go and do your work. Don't worry about me. I will take care of myself."
He Yi remained standing still.
The old lady continued, "Originally, I thought it would be good for you and Ayao to get back together, but it's obvious that Ayao doesn't care about you. She doesn't like you anymore, she even hates you. So don't bother her anymore. You divorce Zheng Yuanxi, and if you see someone else you like in the future, you can marry them if you want, or you don't plan to marry again in this life. But you must never provoke Ayao again. Ayi, you should have some conscience. No one can do whatever they want. Ayao deserves a man who treats her better to spend his life with her. Yifei is good. I hope Yifei can be with her. Of course, if it's not meant to be, I won't force it. In short, it's not you, understand?"
After the old lady finished speaking, she went back to her room to rest.
He Yi stayed there alone for quite a while before leaving, his face still gloomy.
The next day, the old lady invited Gu Zhiyao to meet her.
Gu Zhiyao thought it was probably related to what happened yesterday. Remembering the old man's kindness and affection, she readily agreed to the appointment.
"Ayao, I'm sorry. Xixi has always had a bad temper, and this time she actually hit you. Grandma apologizes to you. Grandma doesn't want you to forgive her, but Grandma feels that since she hit you, Grandma should check on you and comfort you." The old lady pulled Gu Zhiyao, her eyes fixed on Gu Zhiyao's face, and then reached out to stroke it, saying guiltily, "Does it still hurt? Do you need Grandma to put some on it for you?"
Gu Zhiyao quickly shook her head: "It's nothing anymore, thank you Grandma He. Also, don't be sad, I'm fine, it's all in the past."
“How could nothing be wrong? Although Grandma wasn’t there, she knows Xixi’s personality. Besides hitting you, she probably said some unpleasant things too, right? Don’t worry about it or overthink it. No matter what Xixi does, Yifei is a good boy. Don’t let this affect your opinion of Yifei. Ayao, Yifei is the best boy I’ve ever met. He’s someone you can entrust your life to.”
Gu Zhiyao's body stiffened immediately, and she stared blankly at the old lady.
The old lady smiled and said, "Of course, I'm not asking you to accept Yifei immediately. I'm worried that you might develop some negative feelings towards Yifei because of this, such as rejecting him. That boy has had a tough life; he's too devoted. You can't force matters of the heart, but at least you should be given a fair chance."
"Grandma He, you... didn't object to us?" Gu Zhiyao asked.
“I don’t object. Although you and A-Yi have had those past experiences, since they are in the past, we shouldn’t keep dwelling on them. Originally, I hoped that A-Yi and you could be together, but now it seems I’m not so hopeful anymore. But Yi-Fei is really a good boy. If you’re with him, he will cherish you for the rest of his life. As for his mother, you don’t need to worry about her. With me here, I will take care of things for you.”
"Grandma He, thank you, but I... I don't have those feelings for Yifei, and I probably won't in the future. You're right, Yifei is a very good man. I'm lucky to have met him. If I miss him, I may never find anyone better than him in my entire life, but I really can't love him. Maybe after what I've been through, I don't want to touch love anymore, and I don't want to put all my energy and attention into it. It's just a small part of my life, and I don't necessarily need it. In the future, I only want to raise Chenchen and Niuniu to adulthood, make them successful, and help them live a good life. Grandma He, I'm so sorry."
"Hey, you don't need to apologize. It's not your fault, but we can't be too definitive. And you don't need to force yourself. Although love isn't everything in life, a beautiful love can certainly enhance a beautiful life. Zhiyao, you deserve to be carefully cherished and truly loved. Give yourself and Yifei a chance. Let things take their course. If it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. But at least, give each other a chance, okay?"
Gu Zhiyao's throat tightened, but seeing the old lady's expectant eyes, she no longer objected and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Grandma He."
