Following her father down the stairs, Gu Qianqian initially felt awkward because he had stumbled upon "that" kind of scene. Yet, after walking arm-in-arm with him for a short while, the awkwardness gradually faded away...
After walking a little further, she suddenly let out a long sigh. "Dad, do you think Grandma might get so angry that she'll never talk to me again?"
"She won't!"
"But I heard Grandma didn't like my mom back then…"
Unexpectedly hearing his daughter mention his wife who had passed away years ago, Gu Baichuan paused mid-step, then turned to look at her. "It wasn't that she really didn't like her. It's just that she listened to others badmouth your mom. Your grandmother truly believed the rumors painting your mom as some kind of 'fox spirit.' The real issue was that I was so much older than your mom. People struggled to see her in a favorable light."
