CHAPTER 133: CHAPTER 134

Gu Nianyang also felt grateful that the Jiang Family considered her in every way. So when she saw them questioning Li Tingyan in various ways, she didn’t feel uncomfortable. Instead, she felt warm because it was nice to be cared for by family.

Seeing Li Tingyan speaking so confidently and Gu Nianyang not having much to say on the matter, Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li could only compromise. After all, every generation has its own fortune, and as parents, besides offering blessings, there wasn’t much else they could do.

Jiang Aiguo solemnly said to Li Tingyan, "Alright, Tingyan, since you’re so determined, I trust you. Starting today, Yangyang is yours. But remember, she grew up without parental love and had a tough life, so I hope you’ll always treat her well and never let her be hurt."

Li Tingyan replied, word by word, "Uncle and Aunt, please rest assured. I’ll protect Nini as if she were my life, and I’ll never break my promise!"

"Alright, alright. Yangyang and Tingyan being together is a joyous occasion. Why so serious? They just got back from the provincial city, probably haven’t eaten yet. I’ll go to the kitchen with Xiaotian to whip up some good food so we can have a family reunion meal and welcome Tingyan."

Sun Li said, trying to lighten the mood, and then pulled Jiang Tian into the kitchen to prepare food.

Of course, Gu Nianyang couldn’t just let Sun Li and Jiang Tian do all the work, so she also went to the kitchen to help.

With the women busy, Li Tingyan and Jiang Aiguo, the two men, sat in the living room and played a game of chess, getting along quite well.

In the kitchen.

Sun Li was busy slaughtering a chicken, while Gu Nianyang and Jiang Tian crouched by the trash bin, preparing garlic and onions.

"Yangyang, your boyfriend is so handsome, way better than Zhang Zhiqiang."

Earlier, with the adults talking, Jiang Tian didn’t have a chance to say anything. Now that she was with Gu Nianyang, she immediately returned to her usual self, whispering to Gu Nianyang.

"Of course, how could someone like Zhang Zhiqiang compare to Ayang?"

Gu Nianyang said proudly, a look of disdain in her eyes when Zhang Zhiqiang was mentioned.

"Look at you, having a boyfriend really makes a difference." Jiang Tian teased Gu Nianyang a bit before saying, "Yangyang, you wouldn’t know, while you were in the provincial city these past two days, Gu Youlan and Zhang Zhiqiang have been fighting non-stop. Zhang Zhiqiang complained about Gu Youlan being exposed and called her a slut, and Gu Youlan cursed Zhang Zhiqiang for being worthless. It’s like a dogfight."

Gu Nianyang chuckled at this because she had predicted it would happen.

Gu Youlan and Zhang Zhiqiang were both selfish; how could they ever get along peacefully?

Let them fight, best if they bite each other to death.

She only needed to sit back and watch.

Because of Li Tingyan, today’s lunch was more sumptuous than ever, with chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised pork with potatoes, twice-cooked cabbage with pork, pork stewed with vermicelli, stir-fried cabbage, and a pot of white rice.

It was even better than a New Year’s meal, and with every dish secretly seasoned with Spiritual Spring water by Gu Nianyang, the aroma was so tempting that everyone couldn’t stop salivating.

Even Li Tingyan, who wasn’t usually particular about food, couldn’t resist the urge to dig in!

The family gathered around the table, eating and chatting, in a warm and lively atmosphere.

In contrast, the Gu Family was very downcast at this time.

Thinking about how Gu Nianyang had found a businessman boyfriend and brought out five hundred yuan, the Gu Family lost their appetite.

Gu Yuandao took a deep drag of his cigarette with a gloomy expression, "What’s with the attitude, you old hag? If you hadn’t signed that family division agreement, Gu Nianyang wouldn’t have ended up with the Jiang Family, and the money would be ours. The villagers would envy us!"

Wang Ying glared back, "How can you blame me, Old Gu? You didn’t say anything when I signed back then. Now you blame me? I didn’t want to split with that dead girl either!"
