Chapter 1643: Chapter 1643: The Gu Family’s Tradition
At this moment, Xue Mengmeng realized how serious Gu Ziyou’s breakup had been. freёweɓnovel.com
It actually turned Shen Lingfeng into someone who could love at any moment, just like Youyou after watching too many dramas.
Is this the mutual influence between couples?
Xue Mengmeng didn’t know. Perhaps she should find someone she could mutually influence and give it a try.

"It’s been over a decade, and this restaurant is still here," said Gu Ziyou, as she, Shen Lingfeng, and Xue Mengmeng visited a restaurant they had all been to before. "Let me think, I remember Uncle Bo treated us that time, right?"
Xue Mengmeng listlessly looked at the menu. If it weren’t for Gu Ziyou’s insistence, she wouldn’t have wanted to be the third wheel here.
Really can’t help it.
But clearly, Gu Ziyou couldn’t just let her come all the way here and then stay home sleeping.
So she simply picked a restaurant the three of them had been to, to relive some memories.
"I remember there were several places we went," Xue Mengmeng hummed a tune while ordering, speaking a few lines, "There was a period when everyone who came to pick you up on weekends would invite us to eat together. There was Uncle Bo, Sister Mu Xing, your daddy, your mommy, your grandparents, your grandpa... You were really happy during that time."
Gu Ziyou rested her elbow on her chin. That’s right, those were indeed happy times.
Because she never had the feeling of having so many relatives around.
As a child in the United States, her biggest dream was to have someone pick her up after school.
But besides mommy and Uncle Bo occasionally having time to do so, most of the time, it was just her and her brother walking home.
Because mommy was too busy, and Uncle Bo was busy too.
They really didn’t have any other relatives.
Finding daddy was the happiest time for her.
"How are your grandparents doing?" Shen Lingfeng suddenly asked.
The information about the Gu Family wasn’t much known to outsiders.
Especially in recent years, as Gu Annan has gradually withdrawn from the public eye.
This seems to be a tradition of the Gu Family, letting the children take over so much power at a young age.
However, in the public’s view, this is just a way for the Gu Family to train their children.
They don’t believe that any child in their early twenties could quickly manage such a large family enterprise.
It must be that the seemingly relinquishing father is actually the one truly in control, merely letting the children get acquainted with these pressures early on.
But the truth is often beyond public expectations.
"Grandparents are good, they’ve been vacationing abroad. But their health isn’t that great, after all, they’re getting older. So to reduce their movement, we’ll visit them ourselves so they won’t be staying long-term in Manchester, but they will attend the wedding."
"What about your grandpa?"
Gu Ziyou suddenly fell silent, grandpa.
The words "grandpa" still sounded painful even now.
She had lost two loved ones, each loss had made her cry her heart out.
One was her great-grandmother, and the other was her grandpa. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
When her great-grandmother passed, it was peaceful; she was very old, and it was a natural passing.
The most painful was her grandpa’s death.
Grandpa lived for several years after his surgery, and she hadn’t always been aware of his health condition.
But eight years ago, grandpa didn’t make it through and left them forever.
She was sincerely attached to each of her loved ones, and it hit her particularly hard back then.
"It’s alright," Shen Lingfeng presumably knew the outcome.
"It’s okay," Gu Ziyou sniffled and smiled. "Let’s visit grandpa later."
