Chapter 1851: Different Reactions from the Two Families

Emotionally, they were no longer involved, but it was not as if they had no connection at all; Gu Yuxin remained the largest shareholder of Chenxin Snack, enjoying a handsome dividend every month.

She had originally wanted to refuse, as Chenxin Snack's success to this point was entirely due to Zichen's dedicated management, and it had little to do with her.

But Zichen was insistent; he said that founding Chenxin Snack had been their joint effort, and if not for her support and encouragement, Chenxin Snack would not exist.

Now that the two had broken up, they were no longer a couple, but they were still business partners!

A breakup is sometimes not just a matter for two people, but a matter for two families!

The Gu Family.

"What? You broke up with Zichen? Have you burned your brain out from a fever? Zichen is so outstanding, and you broke up with him? No, I don't agree."

Her mother did not agree, and her father did not agree either.

The two of them demanded that their daughter must turn back, go apologize to Sheng Zichen and admit her mistake, then reconcile and get married!

Her father was furious: "Everyone at our school knows you are engaged and getting married soon. Now that you've broken up, we can't even hold our heads up at school. Where do you expect us to put our faces?"

Gu Yuxin was unconvinced and retorted: "You only think of your face, but is your daughter's happiness not as useful as your face?"

"You brat, what you're saying is not the same thing at all. In any case, I don't agree to you two breaking up. If you insist on doing this, we won't have you as a daughter, and the Gu family won't have you as a daughter either..."

"It's truly strange. Didn't you initially disagree with me dating Sheng Zichen? You even wanted us to break up several times. Now that we have finally broken up, doesn't that count as you getting your wish?"

Of course it didn't count.

Her parents had originally disagreed with her dating Sheng Zichen because they didn't think highly of him, feeling that his love for culinary arts meant he would have no future.

Later, when Sheng Zichen turned his hobby into a career, there was naturally no problem.

Still later, as Sheng Zichen's business grew larger and he opened more restaurants, he not only didn't affect his studies but also hired many graduate students as managers; Gu Yuxin's parents were incredibly satisfied with Zichen.

Now that their daughter was using the very words they had initially used to oppose them to talk back, the couple was furious.

Compared to her parents' rage, her grandparents were relatively much calmer, though their expressions were not pleasant either.

Her grandfather spoke up: "Enough, what kind of behavior is this, making such a scene? Reason does not lie in a loud voice. You are an educator, yet you can't even manage your own emotions; I think it would be fine if you stopped being a professor and became a person of leisure."

Her grandfather had finally spoken, and his words carried great weight.

No matter how dissatisfied her parents were, they could not argue with her grandfather.

Gu Yuxin smiled sweetly at her grandparents: "You two are still the best."

Every time her parents disagreed with her, her grandparents would favor her, and this time was no different.

No, this time was different.

Her grandfather did not shield his granddaughter as he usually did; instead, he looked at her and said meaningfully: "We are actually responsible for you becoming the way you are now."

"Your grandmother and I made the mistake that all grandparents in the world make: we were too lenient with you, which led to you being smart, but lacking in a sense of responsibility."

"Pursuing freedom itself is not wrong, but it is wrong to do so at the expense of hurting others."

A weak sense of responsibility will lead to suffering!

Gu Yuxin was unconvinced: "Grandfather, your views are outdated. If there is no love, should I still hold onto Zichen? Is that fair to him?"

"Or if I endure it now, for the sake of so-called responsibility and the eyes of others, and marry Zichen against my own heart, that would be even more irresponsible..."

Her set of twisted logic made her grandparents frown.

Her grandmother wanted to lecture her, but her grandfather took her grandmother's hand: "Let's go. She is not a child anymore; she is an adult. Don't manage everything; we have already done what we should have done."

The old couple returned to their room.

——————————————————————————————

The Sheng Family.

It was basically the same as the Gu family—no, the reaction was even more intense.

The first to express indignation was Shi Ran. Shi Ran was very angry: "On what grounds? My brother's conditions are one in ten thousand wherever he goes. She actually abandoned you? Is she sick?"

Zihan sighed with a tsk: "I really didn't expect this, I didn't expect it at all. I thought only someone like me would be fickle and think the grass is greener on the other side. Who would have thought that someone like Sister Gu would do this too?"

Zirui mocked: "There are many things you didn't expect. You still haven't figured out where Yuanyuan is hiding now, have you?"

Mentioning Tian Yuanyuan, the light in Zihan's eyes immediately dimmed.

He truly did not know.

At first, Yuanyuan left him a letter telling him not to look for her, so he really didn't look.

But later, he thought about it and felt something was wrong. Why not look?

If he didn't look, wouldn't he lose her forever?

He couldn't not look.

So he started looking, but he had exhausted every method and still had no news at all.

Now that Zirui was exposing his shortcomings in front of the family, Zihan fell silent.

Zirui patted his eldest brother's shoulder: "It's fine. The three of us brothers are all bachelors now. No one looks down on anyone. With us accompanying you, the three of us are truly brothers in misfortune."

Zichen reached out and hugged his two younger brothers: "That's right, the three of us being like this is quite good."

Zihan disagreed: "The two of you thinking it's good is your own business. Don't you dare include me. My being a bachelor now is temporary; I won't be single forever."

And so, Zihan was abandoned by his two brothers. They were annoyed with him and were going out to eat something delicious; the two brothers were going on a private date without him!

The three brothers made a scene together.

Shi Youxuan:...

Still feeling good about it?

She really couldn't understand what there was to be proud of in being abandoned.

But since it was the woman who had changed her heart and her own son who had been abandoned, she couldn't blame her son anymore and could only comfort him.

"Zichen, there are plenty of good girls. Tomorrow I will mobilize everyone to help you go on blind dates..."

Zichen:...

He didn't want to go on a blind date!

"Mom, thank you, please let me have a few quiet days. I've been quite busy with the restaurant lately, let's talk about matchmaking later."

He ran off as soon as he finished speaking; Zirui and Zihan, being as sharp as monkeys, were terrified that if their eldest brother escaped, they would become the targets of everyone's attacks, so they hurriedly ran off too.

The next day, early in the morning.

The Sheng Family welcomed uninvited guests: Principal Gu and his wife. The old couple brought several boxes of books and gifts to apologize.

Sheng Jiang and Wang Yinghao did not give them a pleasant look, nor did they have any kind words!

"What are you here for?"

"Your granddaughter dumped my grandson, and you still have the nerve to come here—are you here to show off?"

Facing the accusations, the old couple blushed; they stated plainly that they had come to apologize and to return the rare books they had accepted previously!

Back then, when they first visited the Sheng Family, they discovered many good books in the guest room. The Sheng Family gave them as gifts, and they treated them like treasures, stating that these were tokens of the two families becoming in-laws, and also counted as a betrothal gift.

Now, the fate between Zichen and Gu Yuxin has come to an end.

Since they accepted the books back then, they naturally had to return them!
