My Sweet and Charming Wife

C147 – If He…

Zhao Yun wanted to address the matter with Gu Yuehuan, but she couldn’t tug on Gu Yuehuan’s hand persistently. All she could do was gently pull Gu Yuehuan’s hand back.

Gu Yuehuan turned her gaze toward Lin Chuchu, who noticed a hint of provocation in her eyes.

Gu Yuehuan felt that, regardless of what she said, she was a person who had lived several decades longer than them. This sense of superiority still lingered within her. She sensed that something was amiss with Lin Chuchu’s expression, as if she were overly proud of herself.

The timing seemed too coincidental. They had been arguing here, and then Lin Chuchu appeared. She had still been at the sanatorium, and this level of coincidence was hard to believe.

Before Gu Yuehuan could dwell on this matter too much, Zhao Yun pulled her back and hurried them along the path.

If they couldn’t discuss matters outside, they would have to address them at home behind closed doors.

Now that they were back home with the door closed, Zhao Yun, in a somewhat irritated tone, said to Gu Yuehuan, “Back at the sanatorium, time was limited, so there wasn’t a chance for you to think things through. How do you feel now? Have you considered whether you’ll agree to divorce my son? Let him find a woman who can bear children to marry.”

Gu Yuehuan was ushered into the room by her mother-in-law’s firm grip. As soon as she entered, her hand was released, and her initial fear gave way to a slight relief. She spoke with a wistful smile, “Mom, it’s because I can’t conceive that you’re upset with me? Do you really insist on having grandchildren? Can’t I be childless? Does our happiness depend on having children? My relationship with him is a matter between the two of us.”

Zhao Yun regarded these words as thoughtless ramblings and stared at her incredulously. “What do you mean by ‘your relationship with him’? You two are married. It’s a matter concerning our family! If you can’t bear children, why not find someone who can, for the sake of continuing the family line? Am I wrong? If you can’t conceive, why are you holding him back? I’ll make it clear: you must divorce my son. Otherwise, I won’t let you off!”

Gu Yuehuan found herself in a tumultuous situation. She hadn’t yet recovered from the anguish of her infertility, and now her mother-in-law was suggesting divorce. Reluctantly, she replied, “Mom, can we discuss this when Qingyue returns? I can’t give you an answer right now. I want to await his response. If he also rejects me because of this… If he desires a divorce, then I’ll certainly grant it. I won’t hinder your son. However, if he doesn’t mind, I cannot bring myself to divorce him.”

Initially fuming when she entered, Zhao Yun cooled down and took a couple of sips of cold water upon hearing Gu Yuehuan’s words. She slammed the glass down and said, “You’re truly something else! What do you mean by all this? You must have used some sort of enchantment on my son to make him obedient to you. That’s why you’re speaking to me like this. If you won’t divorce him, how can he divorce you? I don’t care if he agrees or not. You cannot bear children right now. You must divorce him!”

“Otherwise, I’ll reveal to everyone in the village that you’re unable to conceive and that you’re attempting to harm my son! Let everyone see your true colors. You’ll find out if you can still live among people!”

Having endured bullying throughout the day, Gu Yuehuan could no longer contain her emotions after hearing these words. She had no intention of engaging with Zhao Yun, and so, the two remained silent.

Zhao Yun had nothing more to say. She had made her stance clear. The course of action would depend on her son’s response when he returned. Regardless, she was resolved not to allow the two of them to stay together.
