"Grandma, we’ve just discussed this issue," Beitang Tingxue said. "Yes, you and Grandpa love us very much, but we’re also very filial to you!"
Senior Mada Yue said, "Your grandpa and I love you so dearly, can’t you let this go for our sake, and spare your father this ti?"
Beitang Tingxue chuckled, "Grandma, normally I’m so filial to you, can’t you, for the sake of my usual filial piety, let Yue Zhi receive the punishnt he deserves?"
"You... you..." Senior Mada Yue was at a loss for words.
Senior Master Yue wanted to say sothing, but Beitang Tingxue raised her hand to stop him.
She dialed Wei Hanting’s number, "Grandpa, Grandma, we’re just going in circles here, wasting ti. It’s aningless. I know your ultimate weapon is what Grandma just said, not attending my engagent party tomorrow and telling the Gu Family in person that I’m defiant and unfilial, and even cutting ties with us! Now, I’ll let you hear Elder Brother Wei’s stance, and after you’ve heard it, you can give up on this!"
The call connected quickly.
Beitang Tingxue put it on speakerphone and got straight to the point, "Elder Brother Wei, I just told my grandparents about our engagent tomorrow. They made a request, asking to beg you to release Yue Zhi. If I refuse, they won’t attend our engagent party tomorrow, and will personally tell you that I’m unfilial and are cutting ties with . Elder Brother Wei, I’ve rejected them, so tomorrow, my grandparents won’t attend our engagent party. Do you have any issues with that?"
"No issues," Wei Hanting said without hesitation. "Tingxue, you’re doing the right thing. I really appreciate your character. Rest assured, no matter what your grandparents say, I won’t misunderstand you."
"Okay," Beitang Tingxue replied with a sweet smile, "Elder Brother Wei, see you tomorrow at noon!"
"Alright," Wei Hanting said, "See you tomorrow at noon. If you have any difficulties, call imdiately."
"I understand," Beitang Tingxue said playfully, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself; nobody can bully !"
Wei Hanting gave her a few more words of advice and hung up the phone.
"Was that a call from Tingxue?" Senior Master Gu asked him. "Any issues?"
Wei Hanting repeated what Beitang Tingxue had just said.
Senior Master Gu sighed, "Actually, I can understand how Tingxue’s grandparents feel. No matter how bad Yue Zhi is, he is still their biological son. As parents, it’s hardest to see their children suffer."
"But you have to consider the kind of parents they are," Gu Junzhu chuckled slightly, "Yue Zhi has no affection for Yue Mingfeng and Beitang Tingxue at all."
"That’s because he has other children," Senior Master Gu said. "To him, Yue Ming and Yue Qingqing are the result of love, while Yue Mingfeng and Beitang Tingxue are the residuals of an arranged marriage. That’s why he treats Yue Mingfeng and Beitang Tingxue that way. But he is Tingxue’s grandparents’ only son. Tingxue’s grandparents are old, and it’s understandable they feel heartache seeing their son going to jail. However..."
Senior Master Gu’s tone shifted, "But pressuring Tingxue to plead with us to save Yue Zhi is irrational. Yue Zhi has committed violations against national laws, and we, the Gu Family, will never pervert justice for selfish reasons."
