"I said you are a woman, why do you have to fight to be the first and the best in everything?"
Gu Yilan lowered her voice, "Your current situation can easily make people sympathize with you. Why do you have to make the elder unhappy?
If you are softer and gentler, he will treat you more thoughtfully out of guilt, and he will be more accommodating to you..."
"Then he will make the decision for me in everything?" Mu Yunhan interrupted him unhurriedly and said with a smile: "Be a little softer and show weakness to you, and then I will listen to your arrangements in everything?"
There was obvious embarrassment in Gu Yilan's eyes: "That's not what I meant."
"That's what you mean." Mu Yunhan said calmly: "I know that my current behavior, in the eyes of some people, is that I have no idea and do not know my own abilities.
When your husband is gone and you have no talent to rely on, you should be honest, cry and rely on your husband's family, show weakness and listen to arrangements. This is the right attitude.
That is not impossible, but it may be possible to achieve the goal in small things, but it will definitely not be achieved in big things.
Because there are so many people waiting to make the decision for me. No, I will not let myself become a crybaby just because Alin is not here.
In peaceful times, showing weakness occasionally would not be a shameful thing. But it is not the case now. In troubled times, we don’t believe in tears.
Instead of everyone breaking out in the end, why not make things clear now so that you know where my bottom line is so that you don’t make any mistakes."
She smiled, looked at Gu Yilan, and spoke in a very low voice: "Uncle Jiu, especially, must understand that no one can make the decision for me, except myself. This is the bottom line."
Even if she wants to make people sympathize with her, she is definitely not a Gu family person.
It is easy to destroy the image of being strong and independent, but it is very difficult to re-establish it. It is true that the Gu family has changed a lot now, but in essence they still admire the strong and like to make decisions for others.
If both parties agree, that's fine. If they disagree, she will suffer, so she chooses to be tough to the end.
Besides, she is not completely helpless.
Gu Yilan stared at her silently for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Okay, it's good that you can do this. It's better than being like the living dead a few days ago."
Mu Yunhan nodded: "Thank you Uncle Jiu for taking care of me these days."
The two never met each other again, each occupying one side of the carriage and keeping silent.
"Sir, madam, we're home." The carriage stopped, Xiaomi stepped forward and opened the curtain, respectfully.
Gu Yilan jumped out of the car, turned around and extended her hand to Mu Yunhan.
This is how Gu Fenglin treated Mu Yunhan in the past. Every time she got in and out of the carriage, as long as he was there, he would help her with his own hands.
Mu Yunhan looked at that very familiar face and sighed slightly. Although he passed his hand over, he didn't put it down.
She jumped off the carriage, put her hands back in her sleeves, walked forward with a smile, and chatted with Gu Yilan naturally: "The weather is good tonight..."
Gu Yilan put her hands behind her back, smiled and nodded: "It's indeed good."
The two of them walked to the backyard, and Gu Yilan said, "I have something to go to the study to deal with. You should rest early."
Mu Yunhan smiled and said, "Please take care of yourself, sir."
When they returned to the room, Jinxiu and others had already prepared the fragrant soup and made the bed.
Mu Yunhan finished cleaning up and lay down. He was obviously very tired, but he couldn't fall asleep.
The sound of midnight drums could be heard in the distance. She heard a soft knock on the courtyard door and someone speaking in a low voice, so she opened a gap in the tent.
