Gu Chengyi had become used to his wife’s hurricane-like personality a long time ago . His expression didn’t change as he said, “She said she wanted to surprise Yuran and Shanshan . We weren’t able to make it back in time for Shanshan’s birthday . Not just that, we didn’t want to miss your birthday too . ”
“Why even mention this?” Lin Ping had a carefree and casual personality . Towards her grandchildren, she was still okay . But towards her daughter, she wasn’t used to being gentle and overly sweet .
Putting Meng Shanshan down, Lin Ping uncomfortably changed the topic, “I was just worried that she was being tricked by that surname Meng . It’s good that you’ve gotten divorced, that means you can look for a second marriage without worries . ”
Lin Yiyi: “…”
Hey, is it really okay to say these words in front Meng Yuran and Meng Shan? This was their father that she was talking so dismissively about .
Meng Yuran, who shared the same surname, twitched his mouth . It felt as if his knee had been shot with an arrow .
Meng Shanshan was too young and didn’t know what her grandma meant by “surname Meng” .
Once again, Meng Yuran envied his blissfully ignorant younger sister .
Gu Chengyi pointed at his wife . “You, don’t say nonsense in front of the children . ”
This should have been a heartwarming scene of a family being reunited after the grandparents had returned from overseas, but the mood was different because of Lin Ping’s words .
After Meng Yuran went to his room to do homework and Meng Shanshan had been led away by Housekeeper Zhang to take a bath, the remaining three people sat down on the sofas .

Towards a woman like Lin Ping, who was a force of nature, Lin Yiyi felt a bit apprehensive .
She wasn’t used to interacting with her elders, much less the original owner’s mother . And so, she hadn’t known what to say after meeting Lin Ping .
Trying to find something to talk about, she asked, “Oh right, you guys came back without Jiashu . Is he okay by himself?”
Gu Jiashu was Lin Ping and Gu Chengyi’s son and the original owner’s younger half-brother . He was fourteen years younger than her and still in college .
Gu Jiashu was only briefly mentioned in the original novel .

At that time in the novel, when Meng Yuran had gone bankrupt and Meng Shanshan was imprisoned, their uncle, Gu Jiashu, was living abroad . When he found out what happened to them, it was already too late for him to help . A slow remedy from afar couldn’t fix an urgent emergency . His business was successful overseas, but he had no contacts where his nephew and niece were . A strong dragon couldn’t suppress a snake in its territory . Gu Jiashu’s sphere of influence didn’t extend that far .
However, in the end, he figured out a way to bring Meng Yuran and Meng Shanshan to the US . As the villain and the cannon fodder, these two siblings never returned to their homeland .
Gu Jiashu had only appeared in the novel twice . Each time, only his name had been mentioned; his presence was never seen . Honestly, Lin Yiyi was quite curious about the original owner’s young brother .
However, the original owner had married someone and stayed in China while her younger brother had lived with his parents and went to school abroad . Living in different countries, there were few opportunities for them to see each other .
Lin Ping impatiently waved her hand . “There’s no need to worry about that brat . Boys are strong and won’t easily get hurt . Anyways, there’s no good men . That brat isn’t good either!”
Gu Chengyi coughed . He was almost brought to his knees by his wife . “He’s your son . The son that you gave birth to . ”

Lin Ping rolled her eyes in response and continued to speak to Lin Yiyi . “There’s a reason why I came back this time . ”
She took something out of her bag . “I’m setting you up on a blind date . He’s your stepdad’s friend’s son . He’s a dependable person . Anyways, he’s definitely better than that lousy Meng Yan!”
Lin Ping’s directness caught Lin Yiyi off guard .
Lin Yiyi: “…”
Ah, why did she jump to that topic so quickly?
She hadn’t mentally prepared herself for it yet!
