Shocking! A Hong Kong socialite gave birth to three heirs to a wealthy family.

Chapter 239 Even people with the same surname can be quite different.

Shen Wancheng felt that in the past, many women thought about bearing children for their husbands and their in-laws. This mindset made them consciously put themselves in a lower position in their husbands' families after marriage, to the point that they didn't care about their own physical feelings when they were pregnant or in confinement, and blindly listened to their mothers-in-law or other elders.

This is also why some traditional customs about pregnancy and postpartum care are blindly followed even when they make the pregnant woman feel uncomfortable.

In any case, Shen Wancheng is someone who always puts her own feelings first.

Shen Wancheng replied to Wen Nan, "Actually, the older generation's methods of prenatal care may not be correct. They just endured it and thought it was right."

Wen Nan nodded, "And some people think that everyone else has to go through what they've experienced. They'll even stand there and say things like, 'This is what every mother has to go through, it'll pass.' When I was pregnant, I would get angry when people said, 'Pregnancy is never easy, you're just being too fussy.'"

Shen Wancheng chuckled, "No wonder Mom doesn't say things like other mothers-in-law; it turns out she still remembers them all."

"Of course, I'll remember that for the rest of my life. But these words weren't said by Grandma Jinxing, they were said by my aunts and sisters-in-law from my maternal family. Actually, although the Gu family also has aunts and sisters-in-law, they are nothing compared to my maternal family."

Shen Wancheng thought about the family gathering before the New Year. Apart from Gu Zhiyun and her daughter being short-sighted, no one really caused any trouble. It was much better than the complicated relationships in wealthy families that she remembered.

Just as Shen Wancheng was thinking, Uncle Fu arrived.

"Madam, young madam, Third Master's fourth wife, Gu, has come with her daughter, Gu Zhiyun, to offer New Year's greetings."

What kind of New Year's greetings are we offering today, the second day of the Lunar New Year?

Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan exchanged a glance, and then they both understood.

Mrs. Gu and Gu Zhiyun were afraid that if they came to the New Year's Eve reunion with their husbands tomorrow, they would be turned away.

These members of the Gu family all work for the Gu Group. If they are not well-liked by their master, they will certainly suffer at home.

So this Mrs. Gu probably wants to apologize to Shen Wancheng now before tomorrow's gathering.

When relatives come to visit during the Chinese New Year, regardless of whether Shen Wancheng wants to lower herself to their level, there's no reason to turn them away.

Wen Nan glanced at Shen Wancheng first, and seeing no sign of refusal from her expression, she spoke to Uncle Fu.

"Uncle Fu, take the person to the flower hall. Wancheng and I will go back to our room to change our clothes first."

This was also what Shen Wancheng was thinking.

She had just vomited up everything she ate at noon, and now she felt like she smelled bad, so she wanted to go back and change her clothes.

Gu Hengzhi and Gu Jinxing both live in detached villas in the Gu Mansion, so Wen Nan and Shen Wancheng's rooms are not together. Wen Nan first took Shen Wancheng to the villa where Gu Jinxing lived before going back to her own place to change clothes.

Shen Wancheng first rinsed her mouth in the washroom, then took a quick shower before changing her clothes.

Fortunately, since she had stayed at the Gu Mansion for a few days before the Lunar New Year, they had prepared several sets of clothes for her to change into, so she didn't have to ask the servants to buy any at the last minute.

Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan arrived at the main building's flower hall almost simultaneously.

Madam Gu, whose full name is He Wei, was sitting in the flower hall with her daughter, Gu Zhiyun. She was talking to Gu Zhiyun, presumably instructing her on what she would say later.

He Wei heard a noise behind her, turned around and saw Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan coming. She quickly pulled Gu Zhiyun to stand up.

"Happy New Year, Sister-in-law Wancheng."

"Auntie, cousin-in-law, Happy New Year."

He Wei and Gu Zhiyun greeted Wen Nan and Shen Wancheng one after the other.

During the Chinese New Year, it's natural to be friendly, so Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan both replied with "Happy New Year" at the same time.

He Wei spoke again after Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan approached and sat down on the chairs.

"I was worried about how busy you all were yesterday, so I only brought Zhiyun to wish you a Happy New Year today. This is a New Year's gift that I prepared especially for you."

He Wei brought two large red gift bags to the table.

Wen Nan and Shen Wancheng didn't check what the gifts were, but they still politely said, "You've gone to so much trouble."

A brief silence then fell over the scene.

He Wei was surprised that neither Wen Nan, whom she used to think was easy to talk to, nor Shen Wancheng, who was a junior in status, took the initiative to speak to her.

He Wei looked embarrassed, and even a little unhappy.

But she still remembered why she came here today.

Since Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan were indifferent, she decided to speak for herself.

"I brought Zhiyun here today to apologize for her impolite behavior towards Wancheng at the last family dinner. Zhiyun was indeed impetuous that day and offended Wancheng with her words."

Gu Zhiyun immediately replied, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I spoke without thinking that day."

Shen Wancheng's gaze swept over He Wei and Gu Zhiyun.

She saw that Gu Zhiyun's hands were clenched tightly at her sides, and she knew how unwilling she was to accept this apology.

Despite his resentment, at least he could offer an apology with a sincere expression, so he wasn't just acting recklessly and irrationally.

He Wei noticed that Shen Wancheng was only looking at the mother and daughter, but did not respond.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Zhiyun is still young. It's normal for family members to have friction. I've already disciplined Zhiyun severely at home. Please, sister-in-law and Wancheng, don't hold a grudge against a child like her."

Before Shen Wancheng could speak, Wen Nan spoke first.

"Zhiyun is only a few months younger than Jinxing, but almost two years older than Wancheng. How can she still be considered young and immature? Is she a giant baby?"

Wen Nan could also see that Gu Zhiyun's apology was reluctant, but He Wei was still making excuses for her.

So Wen Nan immediately retorted.

The final word "giant baby" completely surprised Shen Wancheng.

How did Wen Nan manage to master even the internet slang of later generations without a teacher?

Shen Wancheng pursed her lips, forcing a smile.

He Wei and Gu Zhiyun's expressions immediately turned ugly.

Shen Wancheng saw that Gu Zhiyun's fists were clenched tightly, indicating that he was already furious.

He Wei tugged at Gu Zhiyun's wrist, reminding her to calm down.

"Sister-in-law, you're joking. Zhiyun has just been spoiled since she was a child and sometimes loses her temper. She's definitely not as sensible as Wancheng. I will definitely teach her well in the future and she won't be reckless anymore."

Wen Nan looked at Shen Wancheng and let her decide for herself.

Actually, this matter was already dealt with on the day of the banquet before the new year. Now that He Wei has brought Gu Zhiyun to apologize, if Shen Wancheng keeps bringing it up, then Shen Wancheng is being petty.

However, if Shen Wancheng still feels unsatisfied and wants to vent her anger, Wen Nan will also stand by Shen Wancheng's side.

This is what Wen Nan means when she looks at Shen Wancheng.

Shen Wancheng said calmly, "Since it happened before the New Year, it's over now. But raising a 'giant baby' in your aunt's house will cause problems sooner or later. We can't let your aunt lose face and apologize every time. We have to raise him properly."

Although Shen Wancheng's words were meant to put the matter behind her, they were still unpleasant to hear.

Gu Zhiyun couldn't help but raise her eyes and glare at Shen Wancheng, then immediately lowered her eyes again.

Shen Wancheng saw all her little actions and kept his gaze fixed on her.

Gu Zhiyun felt the pressure from Shen Wancheng's gaze, lowered her eyes, and dared not look up again.

Wen Nan and He Wei didn't have much to talk about. After exchanging a few more polite words, He Wei took her leave with Gu Zhiyun.

Watching Uncle Fu see the person off, Wen Nan said calmly.

"You see, even people with the same surname can be quite different."

Shen Wancheng chuckled softly.
