My Sweet and Charming Wife

C151 – Squabble

Everyone’s just watching the show, so there’s nothing to say.

Zhao Yun believed her fervent cries might coax them back, but her son departed without a second glance after speaking his piece. Witnessing his indifferent departure, a surge of anger welled up in Zhao Yun, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. “Huo Qingyue! Return this instant! If you don’t… I’ll end my life for you to witness! Return! Can’t you see how much you’re hurting me? Have you truly forsaken me?”

As she uttered these words, tears streamed down her face. She was so overwhelmed with emotion that she found it hard to breathe. Just when she was on the brink of collapsing, people around swiftly closed in, supporting her. “Zhao Yun, are you okay? Prioritize your well-being. Such intense emotions can harm you.”

Now, Zhao Yun’s face bore a weary expression. She was so consumed with anger she was left speechless. She felt weak, and the blatant disregard from her son was evident. Her gaze was hollow, seemingly having lost all vitality.

Some compassionate women nearby quickly assisted her indoors and offered water to help her regain her composure.

Zhang Shufen and her daughter, who had been spectating from the entrance, could hardly contain their laughter. The scene had amused them so much that they laughed till it hurt. It had been a while since they had witnessed such a spectacle. They left, continuing their merry conversation.

Zhang Shufen gleefully remarked, “I always mentioned that Gu Yuehuan harbored malevolence and committed countless wrongdoings. It’s only fitting for fate to intervene. See for yourself. Her inability to conceive is retribution. It’s karma. How could she be so cold-hearted and remain childless? What’s the value of a woman who can’t bear children?”

Gu Yuewei, having also witnessed the recent events, felt elated. That woman was the reason she had issues with childbirth, but now the tables had turned, and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of poetic justice.

Zhang Shufen wore a smile that seemed almost permanent. She gently caressed Gu Yuewei’s hair, remarking, “Just look at Zhao Yun’s expression. It’s hilarious! I remember when she was so protective of Gu Yuehuan. They had such a harmonious mother-daughter-in-law bond! But with the recent events, it’s clear she’s distanced herself from her daughter-in-law. I suppose it was inevitable. The talk of the town is that Gu Yuehuan can’t bear children. It’s unlikely a decent man would want to wed her, given her situation. She’s destined for a life of solitude. However, when Yuewei goes to college and eventually marries someone wealthy in a big city, we’ll show our success and stature. That’ll surely upset her.”

Thoughts of this promising future only intensified Gu Yuewei’s desire to excel in her studies.

Gu Yuehuan and Huo Qingyue headed to the town. It wasn’t straightforward to secure accommodation at night, and they weren’t keen on rushing their choice of residence. For the interim, they decided to check into a hotel. They planned to stay a couple of days to thoroughly scout for a suitable home.

Fortune favored Gu Yuehuan when they arrived at the hotel. The duo quickly reserved a room and settled in.

Gu Yuehuan had been rather distressed when they left earlier. Upon reaching the hotel, Huo Qingyue decided to shower first.

After he finished, Gu Yuehuan gathered her clothes and stepped into the shower. As she was washing her clothes using a soap horn, her mood remained somber.

Suddenly, Huo Qingyue wrapped his arms around her from behind, taking her by surprise. He whispered into her ear after planting a gentle kiss, “Are you still dwelling on my mother’s words? Don’t. She can be rather intractable. Choosing to come to town with you was my decision. Don’t bear the brunt of guilt.”
