Main house and other courtyards.

When the old lady heard the reply conveyed by Sun Ma, her brows furrowed deeply and she put the cup she had just picked up back on the table.

"He is increasingly not taking me, his mother, seriously."

Mother Sun lowered her head and didn't dare to answer.

"My dear great-aunt, my uncle definitely didn't mean that. He probably hasn't seen the old gentleman for a long time and wants to stay with him for a while longer."

Gu Wen Ze, who was sitting next to him, was holding a cup of hot tea, with a well-behaved expression, without any trace of his former arrogance.

"You don't have to speak for him. I know what kind of person he is better than you do." The old lady looked at him with a kinder look.

"Don't call me that from now on. Just call me Auntie."

"Okay, aunt." Gu Wen Ze nodded obediently. This title made their relationship more intimate. He had no reason to refuse.

"I watched your mother grow up, but unfortunately she was unlucky and didn't get to enjoy life." The old lady sighed.

"Aunt, if my mother knew that you still care about her, she would be very happy in her grave."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." The old lady said, "You should take the main responsibility for what happened in Yunhai City this time because you didn't know people well enough."

Gu Wen Ze lowered his head in shame, "I'm sorry, Auntie, it was indeed my own fault, and I paid a huge price for it. I admit it."

"It's good that you know. With your status, you can have any woman you want. If you want to find a girlfriend, I'll introduce you to one. There are many rich girls of noble birth in the capital who are more than suitable for you. There's nothing to worry about with lowly people like that."

The old lady looked at him with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

Gu Wenzhe had long discovered that every time the old lady saw him, it was as if she was looking through him at someone else.

He didn't care. Instead, he was grateful for it. Otherwise, the old lady would not have asked his uncle to find him. He might have struggled in the gutter for a long time.

"My aunt taught me a lesson. I won't do it again."

The old lady nodded. "I heard that you and that woman got married. Are you divorced?"

Gu Wen Ze lowered his head: "Not yet."

The old lady frowned, "Since you already know her true face, why don't you divorce her?"

Gu Wenzhe thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "My grandson can't swallow this."

The old lady turned the ring in her hand and said calmly: "If you want to take revenge on someone, the lowest means is to sacrifice yourself. It is not worth it for a woman."

"You are right. My grandson is sent to school. I will divorce her as soon as possible."

At the beginning, he did want to torture Mo Rusheng to death.

Now hearing what the old lady said, it suddenly made sense to me.

Even if he goes bankrupt this time, as long as the old lady helps him, his future will still be bright and he will have many opportunities to make a comeback.

But if he continued to be entangled with Mo Rusheng, he would still be the one who suffered the most.

"Don't worry, I'm here, there won't be any problems."

The old lady patted the back of his hand gently, looking calm and composed.

"If your uncle can listen to me once, he can listen to me a second time."

Gu Wen Ze was delighted and raised his head: "Thank you, Auntie. I will definitely not let you down in the future."

The old lady looked at his face and nodded.

There was a sound of footsteps.

The two turned around and saw Yuan Shenghe walking towards them.

He has a tall and slender figure, sharp facial features like a knife, deep eyebrows and eyes, and his whole body exudes a sense of oppression from a superior.

Gu Wen Ze immediately lowered his head. Ever since he and Mo Rusheng became enemies, he knew he was too ashamed to see his uncle again.

If he had not been really desperate, he would never have come to see the old lady. Once he saw the old lady, all the stupid things he had done would be revealed.

"You are in a high position now. Does that mean even I won't be able to call you over in the future?"

The old lady stared at Yuan Shenghe unhappily with a pair of eyes that seemed cloudy but were actually shrewd.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Yuan Shenghe had no intention of reminiscing about the past with her and went straight to the point.

The old lady frowned, "Does it mean I can only look for you when I have something to do?"

"If you have nothing else to do, I have a lot of things to do." The implication is that if there is nothing important, he will not come to see her at all.

The old lady slammed her right hand, which was wearing a jade bracelet, on the armchair, making a clanging sound and almost breaking the bracelet worth millions.

"Ever since your grandfather died, you've really become less and less respectful of others. Now you're even going to disobey me, your mother!"

Yuan Shenghe stared at the old man in front of him who was already very old.

"Have you misunderstood something? I have never taken you seriously, just as you have never taken me seriously. You should know better than anyone else what is blowing now to give you such an illusion?"

The old lady's face turned livid.

"Is it because of him?" Yuan Sheng glanced at Gu Wen Ze beside him with sharp eyes.

Gu Wen Ze's heart tightened. The direction of this conversation was completely different from what he expected.

The relationship between my cousin and my aunt seems not only bad, but even terrible.

But why did my uncle listen to my aunt and come to Yunhai City to find him? He has been supporting him for the past few years.

"I didn't expect that something that happened a few years ago would cause you to misunderstand. It's my fault. I should have made it clear earlier." Yuan Shenghe admired the old lady's increasingly ugly expression.

"Then why did you agree to my request in the first place?"

The old lady questioned, she didn't believe he was such a kind person.

Because of this incident, she always thought that her youngest son still had a deep mother-son relationship with her.

"I don't need to tell you that."

Yuan Shenghe shifted his scrutinizing gaze to Gu Wen Ze.

"I've said before that you make your own decisions and bear the consequences yourself. The choices you've made to get to this point are all your own and have nothing to do with others."

"Of course, if the old lady is willing to help you, I won't stop her, but if you want to put pressure on me through her, you are wrong."

Gu Wen Ze fell to his knees with a thud.

"Uncle, I didn't mean to put pressure on you through my aunt. I came to the capital only because I had thought it through. I am ashamed of your and my aunt's expectations of me. I came here this time to atone for my sins."

"Since he already knows he's wrong, as an elder, can't you forgive him just once?"

When the old lady saw that he actually knelt down, she frowned and felt even more sorry.

If she could help, she would have done so long ago.

She used to have some say in the Yuan family, but ever since her father-in-law gave all the shares to the youngest son, the youngest son has always been extremely resentful towards her, and she has almost lost her say in this family.

Yuan Shenghe stared at Gu Wenze's face and suddenly said, "They do look alike."

The old lady was startled.

Gu Wen Ze looked up in astonishment. What did his uncle mean by this?
