Volume 1, Chapter 367: Let Jiang Qiansui cancel the engagement
Gu Xunjing knew that his mother was also in pain during this period, so he comforted her: "Mom, the one who is most sad about losing the baby is Sui Sui, but she comforted us instead. We can't let Sui Sui worry anymore, we all have to cheer up. Baby, know that we love him, we really love... him."
As Gu Xunjing spoke, he couldn't help choking up.
He accompanied Sui Sui to her prenatal checkups. Actually, every time he went, he was a little worried, afraid that something might happen to the baby.
Only when I was in the ultrasound room and heard the baby's strong heartbeat, my hanging heart finally settled down.
He thinks the sound of a baby's heartbeat is the most exciting sound in the world.
The baby's ultrasound pictures started out with nothing being visible, but later on, the baby's facial features and movements could be clearly seen. Each stage carried his expectations.
He even imagined that when the nurse took the baby out from outside his delivery room, he would be too excited to hold the baby.
He knew how to hold the baby so as not to hurt the baby, but now all that was gone and he didn't even get to see the baby.
Li Wanyin listened to her son's words. Her son was right. The saddest people were Sui Sui and... her son.
Li Wanyin took a deep breath and decided to let it go.
"Son, you are right. The saddest one is Sui Sui. How can we let Sui Sui comfort us? We all need to be well and live a good life."
Jiang Qiansui lowered her eyelashes. These sufferings should not have been borne by the Gu family.
She brought nothing but suffering to the Gu family!
Just when they finally let go and decided to live a good life, Su Shitian and Ma Zhongling suddenly walked in triumphantly.
Ma Zhongling was holding a bright red wedding invitation in her hand, and she said loudly and generously: "Hey, the bride is awake, when will this invitation invite us to dinner?"
Su Shitian said scornfully: "Didn't you see that the date on the wedding invitation has already expired? If it's cancelled, can you still renew it?"
Ma Zhongling said in a sinister tone, "The bride had a car accident and gave birth to a stillborn baby. I heard that she can't get pregnant again. She wouldn't want to rely on the Gu family and cause others to have no children or grandchildren."
They had inquired about Jiang Qiansui's situation. She had been infertile to begin with, and then she had a car accident and gave birth prematurely. Her newborn baby died, and her body was severely damaged. The doctor said she would never be able to get pregnant again.
They didn't believe that the Gu family would want a daughter-in-law who couldn't get pregnant.
So after hearing about Jiang Qiansui, she came over to add insult to injury after arriving at Gu's house.
Ma Zhongling never thought that after humiliating Jiang Qiansui today, she would have to try to please her in the future.
Li Wanyin said angrily: "Ma Zhongling, Su Shitian, if you come to our house to eat, we don't mind having two more bowls, but if you come here to tell crosstalk and bully my daughter-in-law, don't blame me for not valuing our friendship for many years."
Ma Zhongling said emotionally, "Li Wanyin, for Jiang Qiansui, you ignored our friendship of many years and chose Jiang Qiansui over my daughter. We thought you were thinking about the grandson in your belly, but now the grandson is gone. Jiang Qiansui can't get pregnant anymore. Do you still insist on letting Gu Xunjing marry her? Do you want to end your family lineage? Have you asked Gu Xuanwu if he agrees?"
Li Wanyin looked unhappy. Su Shitian said solemnly, "Gu Xuanwu and I have been friends for many years. I know him best. The most important thing to him is the Gu family. How can he allow the Gu family to be extinct? Look, he didn't come to the dinner today. It can be seen that he is concerned about Jiang Qiansui not being able to have children. Li Wanyin, if you don't want to be the bad guy, then we will be the bad guy!"
Gu Xunjing said with a sullen face: "Uncle and aunt, you are the elders, I don't want to do anything to you. But if I can't even protect my own wife, I am not worthy of being a man, so please shut up if you shouldn't say anything!"
Su Shitian looked coldly: "Gu Xunjing, even if you don't want to marry our daughter, that's fine, you can marry whoever you want. We have let it go, after all, you are our child who grew up, and we can't bear to see you marry a woman who can't have children and ruin the life of the Gu family."
Ma Zhongling still insisted: "Jiang Qiansui, if I were you, I would know how to dissolve the marriage and not add burden to others. How could a family like the Gu family marry a hen that can't lay eggs? Don't think of taking advantage of others' guilt."
"Security, send Mr. Su and Mrs. Su out!"
Gu Xunjing could no longer tolerate this and directly asked the security guard to ask them to leave. It seemed that he didn't want to show them any mercy anymore.
Su Shitian said angrily, "You little bastard, I watched you grow up, and you dared to let the security guard chase me away? Have you asked your father?"
Gu Xunjing responded coldly: "Protect my wife, why ask my father!"
Gu Xunjing was determined to drive them away.
If they were chased out by Gu's security guards, they would become a laughing stock in high society.
Ma Zhongling looked at Li Wanyin angrily and said, "Li Wanyin, look at your son. He actually dared to chase us away. He is so unlucky."
"My son has already given both families dignity. If you don't leave, I will release the dogs!"
Ma Zhongling was so angry that she almost died on the spot. She said angrily: "Li Wanyin, you are really going too far."
"Who is wrong? Coming to my house to humiliate my daughter-in-law is like a slap in my face. If you don't care about our friendship, why should we?"
When Ma Zhongling saw Li Wanyin so angry, her attitude softened a little.
"Wanyin, I see that you have been deceived by her. Now that the child has died, you are still in pain, but any kind of pain will be healed by time. When the time comes, you will be looking at a daughter-in-law who cannot give birth. This is the beginning of true despair."
Jiang Qiansui originally planned to wait until they were in a better mood before discussing the cancellation of the engagement with the Gu family.
Besides the fact that she will not be able to have children in the future, more importantly, a person with so many problems like her really cannot love someone wholeheartedly.
Gu Xunjing and Aunt Li are both so nice, how could she bear to drag them down?
Ma Zhongling was giving her advice earnestly, while Su Shitian exaggerated in his narration, "Wanyin, don't be fooled by Mr. Gu's sullen face. He actually likes children very much. Do you think he can accept not having a grandson?"
"Whether I can accept it or not, what does it have to do with your Su family?"
When Gu Xuanwu heard that Su Shitian and Ma Zhongling had gone to his house, he knew that they had bad intentions, so he hurried back. It turned out to be just as he thought, that they were there for his daughter-in-law.
As soon as Li Wanyin saw the helpers coming for the quarrel, she became rude!
