Chapter 410: Chapter 394: Sending a Message

"You’re heartless! Do you know how hard it was for me to bring you all up..."

Gu’s mother started to wipe her tears again.

"Mom, is it easy for any family to bring up children? It wasn’t easy for you, and neither was it for Xia Na. Now both my children are grown up, and I’m about to become a grandfather, I can’t ignore their feelings.

I still advise you to stop nitpicking Xia Na and stop saying bad things about her. I don’t want to hear it, and I’m sure my children are even less willing to listen. If you find this uncomfortable, I won’t say more, but you didn’t just give birth to me, right? Should I be the only dutiful son?"

Gu Tianming glanced towards the kids, who remembered he had said there was a fridge with drinks in the car, and as soon as they got in, they clamored to open the fridge and grab the beverages.

The car sped along, and the children took out every kind of drink, opened them, took a few sips, then tossed them aside for another one. In a short while, the car was littered with beverage bottles that were only a few sips empty.

Not only that, but the car interior was quickly stained in several places, each spot splashed with a different color of juice...

Gu Tianming frowned, looking at the youngest child who was also about thirteen or fourteen years old, but in the end, he said nothing.

The children shrunk their necks under his gaze, and the rowdiness subsided a bit.

"You--"

Before Gu’s mother could speak again, Gu’s father silently pulled her back and shook his head.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a renovated, splendid five-star hotel.

"Why have you brought us here? Why not stay at home?" Gu’s mother got out of the car and became anxious as she looked around.

Gu’s father also had an unchanging expression.

Gu Tianming’s elder brother and sister-in-law, younger brother and sister-in-law, as well as his sister, all wore frosty expressions, and even the children obviously didn’t seem pleased.

"Let’s talk inside the guest rooms."

As Gu Tianming and the rest got out of the car, the hotel bellboys had already come to help with parking and luggage, and someone was leading the way and opening doors. Gu Tianming reported a certain room number and then signaled for everyone to follow.

The group exchanged glances; even if they were reluctant, they had no choice but to follow.

Using the keycard to open one of the guest rooms, Gu Tianming quickly explained to his parents, "Our house doesn’t have enough space. This time with the renovation for my younger brother’s marriage room, we also arranged the marriage room for my eldest brother. Aside from reserving one of the remaining rooms for you two, the others are just enough to accommodate my aunt’s family. There really are no extra rooms left."

This is the best five-star hotel in S City, where the wedding will also be held. I’ve booked a separate suite for each family of my elder brother, younger brother, and younger sister, and I’ve paid for five days of room fees. The hotel will provide free breakfast and lunch every day; at the appointed times, you can use your room cards to have meals at the hotel’s buffet restaurant. The commercial area is nearby with many department stores, so it will be convenient for them to stay here."

Having said this, Gu Tianming turned to the others and said, "The hotel covers two meals a day, and for the remaining meal, you can go out and eat whatever you like to avoid getting tired of the same taste at the hotel.

"You’ve been to S City before, recently the house has been busy, and Xia Na and I don’t have time to accompany you. The drivers and cars at home really can’t spare the time to pick you up and drop you off, so you can stroll around on your own.

"You can stay comfortably in the hotel, I’ve already paid for the rooms, but only for five days. After five days, I will buy plane tickets to send you all back. If anyone wants to stay longer, I won’t be available, so you’ll have to fend for yourselves.

"Also, some of the items in the rooms and certain expenses at the hotel are complimentary, while others require an additional fee, so keep that in mind. Because if you accidentally incur charges, other than the room fees, you’ll have to pay for everything else out of your own pockets."

"Second brother, are you planning to just dump us here and ignore us?" Gu Tianru exclaimed indignantly.

"What do you mean ignore you, do you know how much it costs to stay one night in a room here? Just for these rooms I’ve booked for you, the expenses for these five days plus your round-trip flight tickets could cover the entire two months of expenses for the villa in Haicheng. What more do you want me to do?"

Gu Tianming grew angry, "If you really start spending freely here, it’s nothing to spend a hundred or even eight hundred thousand in one night. If I don’t clarify with you in advance, no amount of gold and silver would be enough to cover it, and you would still blame me for not making it clear beforehand.

"I’m saying it now, so don’t think about asking me to foot the bill later. I don’t have much on me, no private stash. If you really run out of money and can’t pay your bills, I have no solution if you have to stay and work off your debts."

"Second son, since it costs so much to stay here, why don’t you have them stay at our place instead? The elder brother’s wedding house is still empty; why can’t everyone squeeze in and manage for a few days? After all, your elder brother still doesn’t have a partner," Father Gu spoke up.

"Yeah, second brother, give me the money you save, and I’ll buy them a couple of nice clothes instead. Then you won’t have to spend extra," Mother Gu calculated in her mind, suddenly feeling that having everyone stay at the hotel was not cost-effective. Combining that with Gu Tianming’s words in the car earlier, she felt that her second son was obviously displeased about spending too much, so she thought she was making concessions by saying this.

Suddenly, a thought that ’rich people are all miserly’ emerged in the hearts of Gu Tianming’s siblings. They all secretly curled their lips, but this rich person was not someone they could afford to offend easily, so even Gu Tianru stopped talking without needing her husband to hint again.

At this point, everyone could only hope that the parents’ authority over Gu Tianming was strong enough to take down this bastion.

"Mom and Dad, if it’s called a wedding house, that means even the elder brother himself can’t move in first. If I let it out for everyone to stay, then what’s the point of calling it a wedding house? Is elder brother nearly thirty going to stay single forever?"

Gu Tianming started to feel restless and helpless inside. Did it mean all the earnest words he had just spoken were in vain?

In the past, Xia Na was usually the one who dealt directly with his family, and although he knew they were difficult to handle, he hadn’t really paid attention to many of the details or felt their impact quite so keenly.

He remembered today his wife had made excuses not to come out with him, so he had to face all this alone, which was actually because he had made some slight criticism the last time over the nanny issue. He felt his wife had endured everything before, so why should she bother over an old lady’s words now? But his wife had caught onto these thoughts.
