Do You Think It’s Appropriate?

Mr. Zhang immediately frowned, feeling uncomfortable from his mother’s scolding.

He said, “I understand, Mom. Did you only call me to the study for this?”

Old Madam Zhang looked at her son and felt very helpless. He was usually quite shrewd, but he was too emotional at the moment.

She said, “I almost forgot about the important matter; the Li family has sent an invitation for Old Madam Li’s birthday. Besides you and your wife, I also want to bring Zhang Xun and Nuannuan along. Prepare a few presentable gifts.” “Mom, aren’t you going to bring Huanhuan along?” asked Mr. Zhang.

After all, the whole family was going. It would be a little overboard not to bring Zhang Huanhuan along.

She replied in a daze, “Do you think it’s appropriate to bring a maid over on such an occasion?”

“Mom, no matter what, she’s still my daughter,” he said unhappily. “Don’t always treat her like an actual maid, okay?”

She sneered and said, “I know what you’re thinking. Let me tell you, you’d better give up. If Zhang Huanhuan used little tricks to reach the top, I might think highly of her. However, if she’s just going to compete with Nuannuan for favor, don’t blame me for being ruthless. If you want her to live well, then control her and make her behave.”

Mr. Zhang was helpless and angry, but he still looked obedient on the surface.

He replied, “Alright, I understand.”

She waved her hand and said, “It’s good that you know. Remember, don’t lose a lot because of a little. You gave Zhang Huanhuan as much as Nuannuan did. If she’s satisfied and doesn’t cause any trouble, that’s for the best! By the way, you asked Zhang Huanhuan to call you Dad without any warning today. That must’ve hurt your wife’s heart, so return and persuade her properly.”

Mr. Zhang said, “But I haven’t arranged anything for Huanhuan yet.”

“Shut up!” the old lady said angrily. “She’s just a maid; Mother Wang will naturally arrange things for her. You don’t have to worry about it.”

“I understand, Mom,” he said.

After that, he left the study with a hateful heart.

In a flash, it was Old Madam Li’s birthday.

Other than the Li family’s relatives and friends, there were also many business bigwigs who came to the banquet. It was very lively.

At around 9 o’clock, Old Madam Li saw her close friend, whom she had not seen for many years, had arrived with her grandson, Gu Yinian. She was extremely happy.

“I’m so happy you’re here,” she said.

As they spoke, the two old women hugged.

Old Madam Gu replied, “Of course I had to come, considering our relationship.”

Old Madam Li said, “I’m glad you could make it.”

You’ve been gone for so many years. Will you not leave this time?” asked Old Madam Gu.

“I’ll leave again after my birthday,” said Old Madam Li. “I like life there; it’s not as tiring.”

Gu Yinian passed his gift to the butler. He said, “Grandma Li, I wish you happiness and longevity.”

“Alright, thank you, Yinian,” Old Madam Li said. “I’ll chat with your grandmother for a while; you can go hang out with Ah Yu.”

“Alright, I’ll go look for him,” said Gu Yinian.

After saying that, he left.

“Does Yinian have a girlfriend now?” Old Madam Li asked softly after he left.

“Not yet.” Old Madam Gu sighed. “What about your Ah Yu?”

Old Madam Li thought for a moment and said, “Don’t even mention it; I have a son and two grandchildren, but they’re all single.”

Old Madam Gu replied, “Young people nowadays marry and have children late. I used to be worried as well, but I don’t care anymore. Ah Yu has at least had some scandals with some girls, but I’ve never really seen any woman by his side.”

“Those are just rumors,” said Old Madam Li. “Speaking of which, tell me, who was the girl in the rumors?”

“It’s probably that girl from the Jiangs,” she thought of Jiang Ling’er, feeling happy.

Old Madam Gu was about to reply when she saw someone approaching, subconsciously looking over.

It was Mrs. Gu, walking over with her children.

“It’s my Gu family’s girl who had a scandal with Ah Yu,” Mrs. Gu said softly.

Old Madam Li looked over and was a little sad. Why wasn’t it Jiang Ling’er?

Mrs. Gu said, “Happy Birthday. I wish you safety and healthiness.”

Old Madam Li smiled, “Thank you for coming. I haven’t seen your children for so many years; they’re both already so big.”

“Yes, they’ve grown up,” said Mrs. Gu.

“We wish Grandma Li a long life,” said the Gu siblings.

“Good, what obedient children,” said Old Madam Li..
