An Junxi urged her senior, "Please help them out a bit. Tell Mrs. Yu so good things about You Lifen, so she doesn’t hold any prejudice against her." Yu Zheng was under a lot of pressure from his family.
Gong Xiaoyu said, "I’ll try my best."
Asking her to say good things about You Lifen was really putting her in a tough spot. You Lifen almost ruined her decade-long hard work. Being born a princess, You Lifen could act out however she wanted, but dragging her Si Yuan Education down with her almost made her go bankrupt.
Because of that, she and You Lifen could never beco friends in this lifeti.
That woman never considered the consequences of her actions. Yu Zheng was still in for a tough ride with her.
Everyone has their preferences, if Yu Zheng liked her, there was nothing more to say.
An Junxi and her senior went to the tea house together. She said, "I need to go back ho in a maximum of two hours."
"Got it, Ai Xi’s mom. Help out and say a few words later."
The staff led them to a private room where two elders were already waiting.
"Teacher, Mrs. Yu," An Junxi greeted, "I ca uninvited."
The elders warmly invited them to sit, "Jun Xi, Mrs. Yu hasn’t seen you for a long ti. She has a lot to say to you."
An Junxi thought she was there to play a diator role, but ten minutes later, she regretted it.
Mrs. Yu nagged about "marital harmony" and other things, without giving An Junxi a chance to speak. She could only smile and listen to her teachings.
Gong Xiaoyu never expected Jun Xi to beco her shield. It was an unexpected gain.
An Junxi gave her senior a look, hinting for help!
Gong Xiaoyu poured tea for the two elders, finding a gap to say, "Auntie must be tired too, have a cup of tea."
Mr. Yu said, "Jun Xi, don’t mind the two of us being naggy. Yi Ke is under a lot of pressure. He tries his best to take care of his family and just wants a considerate wife when he gets ho, soone to talk to. Please don’t argue with him."
An Junxi thought, Why did the teacher describe Gu Yikun as so pitiful?
She said, "I didn’t quarrel with him. He is..." asking for it.
Who told him to talk about divorce?
Gong Xiaoyu said, "I talked to Jun Xi at the company. She said she wouldn’t get divorced and that they would reconcile within a month at most."
An Junxi was puzzled, Did she ever say that?
The senior was really talking nonsense.
Mrs. Yu felt relieved, "I know Yi Ke said so nasty things out of anger. Who doesn’t have monts of anger? I’ve been mad at your teacher thousands of tis in our decades of marriage."
Mr. Yu felt uncomfortable, "Why bring that up?"
Mrs. Yu turned to Gong Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, when your parents have so free ti, let’s have a al together. We still owe them an apology for Yu Zheng’s matter."
Gong Xiaoyu couldn’t bear such heavy words, "Auntie, you’re overthinking it. There’s no need for an apology. Yu Zheng and I broke up amicably."
Initially, her parents were mad at Yu Zheng. It took a long ti for her to explain before they accepted her words.
Now, Father and Mrs. Gong knew feelings couldn’t be forced, and they let Gong Xiaoyu be.
Mrs. Yu thought Gong Xiaoyu was trying to comfort them, "Don’t lie to us. The news clearly reported that you broke up because of a third party."
Gong Xiaoyu didn’t know how to explain, "Entertainnt dia’s words can be trusted at most by ten percent. My feelings with Yu Zheng weren’t that deep. Even without You Lifen, it would have been difficult for us to get married."
Mrs. Yu couldn’t understand, "If your feelings weren’t that deep, why did you get engaged?"
Gong Xiaoyu brushed it off, "We thought feelings could be nurtured."
An Junxi didn’t want her senior to bring up Yue Xiaoyang. It was her scar, and no one liked to expose their wounds.
She helped out by saying, "Now it’s certain that Yu Zheng likes You Lifen. That girl is pretty good, talented, lively, and doesn’t have any bad intentions..."
Mrs. Yu didn’t agree, "Jun Xi, these are all superficial. We don’t like You Lifen, not because she is bad, but because we don’t like that circle. We’re old and can’t accept new things. We don’t want petty things in our family to be under the dia’s scrutiny. Just because of You Lifen’s profession, we get pointed at and gossiped about even when we go out for a morning walk. Do you think we can be happy?"
An Junxi spoke a bit directly, "Mrs. Yu, Lifen is a public figure. Her image in the dia is very positive. There are many idols in the entertainnt industry who bring positive energy to society. We shouldn’t look at that circle with tinted glasses. Gu Family’s Wanling Entertainnt is the sa. I have worked at Wanling, and many artists are positive and progressive."
Mrs. Yu remained firm, "You Lifen is still acting. Rumor has it she’s getting too close to her male co-star... I’m too old to understand these complicated things. In the future, if people say Yi Ke’s wife is getting intimate with other n on cara, how could we face anyone?"
An Junxi weakly said, "You Lifen is the boss’s daughter. No man would dare to cross any boundaries with her on set."
Mrs. Yu waved her hand, "Let’s not talk about her anymore."
An Junxi had nothing more to say. Mrs. Yu had her own standards, which she had no right to interfere with. Should You Lifen quit the industry?
You Lifen had already sacrificed a lot for Yu Zheng. Asking her to give up her career was unreasonable.
Feelings are mutual; no one can keep giving endlessly.
However, seeing Yu Zheng boldly declaring his love for You Lifen in front of the dia was indeed courageous.
Gong Xiaoyu looked at An Junxi, silently saying with her eyes, "See? It’s not sothing that can be solved with a few good words."
An Junxi had no other choice. Gong Xiaoyu gently told Mrs. Yu, "Yu Zheng and I are over. We might communicate occasionally due to work, just like ordinary friends."
Mr. Yu, still worried about his son’s marriage, had nothing more to say upon hearing Gong Xiaoyu’s words, "Xiaoyu, it seems you and Yu Zheng are not ant to be."
Gong Xiaoyu poured tea for the elders, "It’s been my fortune to know you, Uncle and Auntie."
Mrs. Yu sipped her tea, feeling unsatisfied. The daughter-in-law tea she had hoped for, seed impossible to drink.
The four of them continued their lively conversation, ensuring there were no awkward silences.
As they were parting, An Junxi went to settle the bill. Mrs. Yu refused, but An Junxi insisted, "Going out for tea with my teacher, I must be given the chance to show my respect. Otherwise, it wouldn’t feel right."
After An Junxi left, Mrs. Yu said to her old man, "Jun Xi does everything perfectly, virtuous and understanding, and gets along with everyone. Yi Ke, with his aloof personality, needs a wife like her by his side. I hope they reconcile soon."
Mr. Yu said, "Yi Ke is steady. He will handle it."
Gong Xiaoyu helped Mrs. Yu with her bag, "Uncle, Auntie, let’s head out."
