Madam Gu's chest heaved with anger, her face full of frustration and disappointment.
Gu Bichen gently stroked Madam Gu's back with one hand, trying to calm her down.
"Grandmother, please don't harm your health over this. It's not worth it."
Yao Huia clutched her forehead, wincing in pain, and couldn't help but retort, "The Yu family is powerful and influential. If Bichen marries Yu Ruohuan, won't our Gu family become even stronger? Why would Auntie oppose it? I really don't understand what you're thinking..."
Madam Gu waved her hand dismissively, as if even looking at her foolish expression for another moment was a form of cruelty.
"Leave. Don't come back again."
"Auntie…"
"Don't call me Auntie." Madam Gu's anger was genuine, her expression blank as she looked at her. Yao Huia felt a wave of panic rise in her heart.
"Auntie, I truly know I was wrong. Please give me another chance, would you?"
