213 Help You Raise Your Daughter
“Lan, I’m talking to you.” Cui Zhanyi waited for a long time but did not hear Le Yao’s reply. He was instantly angry. “Why are you so rude?”
“Grandpa, it’s not good for me to go, right?” Le Yao looked troubled. “After all…”
“Why not?” Cui Zhanyi frowned. “You’re our granddaughter. What’s wrong with that?”
“What I mean is that you didn’t contact me all these years. I still remember the year I first came back. Uncle came over and told me to take care of myself in the future and not use the Cui family’s name. He also warned me not to anger you. So, old man, I’ll pray for the old lady to live as long as the East Sea and the South Mountain.” Le Yao smiled. “Don’t worry, even if I don’t go, I’ll pray for you to live a long life every day. Alright, that’s all. Goodbye, old man.” Then, she hung up.
Cui Zhanyi was speechless.
He held the ringing phone and did not react for a long time.
“What’s wrong? Why are you in a daze?” Gu Meizhi looked at the old man. “What did she say?”
“She’s not coming. She even hung up on me.” Cui Zhanyi put down the phone with an awful look on his face. “How dare she?”
“Hehe.” Gu Meizhi laughed coldly. “Why wouldn’t she dare? Don’t forget whose child she is.” With that, she stood up and walked upstairs.
“Why are you angry again?” Cui Zhanyi hurried to catch up with her. “Wasn’t I muddle-headed back then? Besides, Na died so many years ago. Why are you still…”
“Yes, I’m petty. So what?” Gu Meizhi walked straight into the room.
“You’re already so old. How can you not make a fuss?” Cui Zhanyi hurriedly followed her in and closed the door. “Didn’t we agree long ago? Besides, without Na, we wouldn’t have our current life.”
“Cui Zhanyi.” Gu Meizhi became even angrier. “Let me tell you, I’d rather live a poor life than have my husband and cousin get together. In the end, I still have to help you raise your daughter…”
“Keep your voice down.” Cui Zhanyi hurriedly reached out to cover Gu Meizhi’s mouth. “Does the whole world know you want to shout?”
Gu Meizhi turned her head to the side. Back then, no one wanted her cousin because her parents were divorced, so her mother kindly took her in. In the end? She hooked up with her husband and even gave birth to a child…
“She’s already dead. What else do you want?” Cui Zhanyi sighed. “And now, her granddaughter can save our grandson.”
Gu Meizhi raised her eyebrows slightly. “But if she’s still alive. What if she’s amazing and doesn’t look like a 60-year-old lady at all? Will you relive your old dreams?”
“Aiya, it’s all in the past. I was young and dumb back then.” Cui Zhanyi smiled awkwardly. “I just made a mistake that all men in the world will make. Besides, have I ever done anything rash all these years?”
“That’s because you don’t dare.”
“Alright, aren’t we talking about the kidney?”
Gu Meizhi finally stopped talking and her attitude softened. “If she doesn’t come, what can you do?”
“It’s our fault for not caring about her before.”
“You pity her?”
“No.” Cui Zhanyi shook his head. “I just feel that if I had treated her better, I wouldn’t be so disadvantaged now.”
