Chapter 1708: Shredded Pork in Beijing Sauce 2
After the orderly returned to report, the atmosphere at the dinner table went back to what it was before.
"Who are they? Making such a ruckus." Wang Cuilan hadn’t seen Gu Qing for over twenty years. Plus, he didn’t look like his dad nor like Dr. Guo, so she didn’t recognize him at first.
Feng Qingxue kept signaling her with eye gestures, but she didn’t see them and still asked out loud.
Dr. Guo sighed, indifferent to Wang Cuilan’s question, "Who else could it be? It’s my good-for-nothing son Gu Qing and his wife Shen Xiufen, always siding with her own family, making a mess of my granddaughter’s life. Now their house bears the Shen name, and I suspect their money has been drained by the Shen Family. That’s probably why they’re here today; after all, they never visit the Three Treasures Hall if there’s no reason. I can’t be bothered with them. With any time wasted on anger, I’d rather focus on raising my two granddaughters well and teach them the principles of being good people."
Wang Cuilan consoled, "Children and grandchildren have their own fortune. You just look after yourself and let them make their own mess."
When there are many trees, there are all kinds of birds. Women like Shen Xiufen, who only care for their own family and neglect their in-laws and children, are everywhere, so it’s not surprising at all.
Commander Gu poured a glass of wine for Cheng Baoguo, "I’ve advised my cousin. He’s a decent man and has talent for military affairs, always meticulous in official duties, never makes a mistake. But he’s weak-hearted and made a mess of his personal life. He pursued Shen Xiufen eagerly and is completely obedient, can’t bear to hear a single bad word about her. It’s a pity because if it weren’t for Shen Xiufen dragging him down, he would at least be at the deputy division level by now."
