Chapter 92 Insult
If you were to ask Mr. Gu what he is most proud of in his life...
It was definitely not what outsiders thought; it was due to his status as a military commander.
Instead, it was because he had a grandson named Gu Yanxiao, whom his old comrades always spoke of with envy and jealousy.
God knows how much face Gu Yanxiao's grandson brought him in the army.
In fact, a large part of the Gu family's success over the past few years is due to Gu Yanxiao's hard work.
Originally, Grandpa Gu thought that with such a prodigy as Gu Yanxiao around, he wouldn't have any worries even if he retired now.
But who knew that just as Gu Yanxiao, a rising star in the military, was about to be discovered, he was suddenly injured during a mission.
Although Gu Yanxiao has been getting injured as a regular occurrence since joining the army.
But this time, the bullet that pierced his left chest, close to his heart, brought his path to promotion in the military to an end.
In order to prevent the Gu family's status in the capital from being affected by Gu Yanxiao's injuries.
Grandpa Gu decisively used Gu Yanxiao's military achievements to help Gu Yanfeng of the second branch of the family advance further.
After all, Gu Yanxiao's physical condition meant that he could not continue in the military.
It would be better to use this merit to get Gu Yanfeng promoted.
At least this way, the Gu family won't be suppressed by others.
only……
In the end, he still felt indebted to Gu Yanxiao.
Later on, Cao Huai Ren even used Su Xiang Wan's identity to make trouble for the eldest son's family.
For the sake of the greater good, Old Master Gu did not hesitate to sacrifice the eldest son's family and decisively severed ties with them.
I wonder how the eldest son's family is doing now...
"Old man..."
Seeing that Old Master Gu seemed dazed, Zhu Cuihua cautiously called out to him, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
That old bastard is probably thinking about that good-for-nothing Gu Yanxiao again.
If Gu Yanxiao was the most promising young man in the army before he was injured, and this old man's heart was always with Gu Yanxiao, then she would accept it.
But now Gu Yanxiao is a useless piece of trash, yet this old geezer still thinks of him.
On what grounds?
The Gu family's hopes now rest on their son, Gu Yanfeng.
That old geezer will only be able to rely on his son in the future. That old geezer has the leisure to not think about how to pave the way for his son, but instead wastes his energy on that good-for-nothing.
"It's okay, just go do whatever you need to do!"
Old Master Gu's reminiscence was interrupted by her. He waved his hand wearily, not even giving Zhu Cuihua a glance.
Compared to the vulgar, greedy, and scheming second daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law has a much better demeanor as the head of the household.
Even Yan Fei, that girl, is more decisive and capable than Gu Yanfeng.
What a pity!
What saddened him was that she was just a woman, and ultimately she wouldn't go far in the military.
Ultimately...
Their family lineage was ultimately too thin.
If the first wife had more children, would things be different?
After seeing that Old Master Gu had only said this one sentence to her, Zhu Cuihua went back to her own thoughts, holding her teacup.
She pursed her lips in annoyance, muttered a few complaints to herself, turned around, and went upstairs towards her room.
Gu Jianjun was not in the room.
Clearly, as long as Grandpa Gu was home, Gu Jianjun had run away again to avoid being lectured by him.
Zhu Cuihua could only stay in the room helplessly, waiting for Gu Jianjun to return.
They waited until evening before Gu Jianjun, reeking of alcohol and looking languid, entered the room.
As soon as Zhu Cuihua stepped forward, she smelled the perfume and cosmetics on Gu Jianjun, in addition to the smell of alcohol.
Her expression changed, and she grabbed Gu Jianjun's clothes, asking, "Gu Jianjun, where did you go today? What did you do?"
Gu Jianjun impatiently shook off her hand: "Where I go is none of your business."
As he spoke, he took off his clothes, which had been torn to shreds by Zhu Cuihua, threw them on the ground, and prepared to go to bed.
Zhu Cuihua was even angrier when he shook her off: "Gu Jianjun, why can't I control you? Tell me, have you been fooling around with women?"
As she dragged him along, she noticed a red stain on the collar of Gu Jianjun's shirt, which he had just taken off.
It was obviously left on her collar by a vixen she was having an affair with.
Thinking of this, she angrily grabbed the garment, shoved it close to Gu Jianjun, and hissed in a low voice, "Gu Jianjun, you still won't admit it? What else could it be but another woman's lipstick on the collar? You actually went out to see other women behind my back!"
Annoyed by her constant chatter, Gu Jianjun opened his eyes, sat up, and shoved her away, saying, "Zhu Cuihua, are you ever going to stop? What's wrong with me seeing other women? It's none of your business!"
"You..." Zhu Cuihua wanted to say something more.
Gu Jianjun sneered and looked at her with disdain: "Don't forget, do I need to repeat all the dirty tricks you and Cao Huai Ren did?"
"I..." Zhu Cuihua's face turned pale, and she froze on the spot.
"You really think that I've been swallowing my anger all this time so that I can get away with you cheating on me? Zhu Cuihua, if it weren't for Yan Feng's sake, I would have divorced you long ago. I'm only keeping you around to put on an act for the old man and for those people outside."
Gu Jianjun looked at Zhu Cuihua as if she were a disgusting rag, his voice filled with undisguised malice: "If you know what's good for you, you'll obediently play the role of the Gu family's daughter-in-law, at least you can maintain your current face and life. If you're not willing, I'll go with you to get a divorce tomorrow."
"Do you really think I'd still sleep with a woman who's been used and abused by other men? You even have the nerve to tell me what to do about me playing around with other women!"
Zhu Cuihua was deeply hurt by Gu Jianjun's vicious words.
In recent days, she and Gu Jianjun have tacitly avoided mentioning Cao Huai Ren.
Therefore, she also thought that Gu Jianjun had already forgiven her.
She also made up her mind to live a good life with Gu Jianjun.
In any case, she and Gu Jianjun have a son and a daughter, especially their son Gu Yanfeng, who is an extremely outstanding person and has now become a well-known young officer in the military region.
They should have been the envy of many; Zhu Cuihua should have been a highly respected wife of a high-ranking official.
Why is she now being so viciously insulted by her own husband?
"Gu Jianjun, you've gone too far!"
Zhu Cuihua spoke, her face pale and her body trembling.
"I am your wife, the mother of your son and daughter, how can you insult me like this?"
