Chapter 1055: The First Wife Who Died of Frustration (Twenty-Two)
Gu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I understand!"
Whether Wu Siqian cheated or not is not important to Gu Qingcheng.
And this matter is of no substantial help in the current property war.
After all, the original owner had been in a coma for more than ten years.
There is not much difference between Wu Siqian's perseverance for fifteen years and his perseverance for seventeen years.
He is still a man of affection and justice after all.
However, for the original owner, it may still be of some use——
It turns out that her belief that "no one is wrong" is biased.
That perfect man still had flaws.
The original owner's previous quarrel was not unreasonable.
Wu Siqian is no longer perfect, so the original owner no longer has to suffer from the constraints and condemnation from public opinion and morality.
Well, considering this point, Wu Nianqing can be credited for his contribution.
"Wu Nianqing, what do you want?"
Gu Qingcheng silently took note of Wu Nianqing, then asked slowly.
She was so straightforward that Wu Nianqing was completely confused.
Well, although Wu Nianqing did have the intention of exchanging interests, it is better not to speak out about this kind of thing.
After all, they are mother and daughter, how can they be so naked?
No feelings at all... Wu Nianqing was young and thin-skinned after all, and her face turned red instantly when Gu Qingcheng revealed her purpose so bluntly.
"You and I are not familiar with each other, and I don't remember that you are my daughter."
"Although we are mother and daughter, we have an undeniable parent-child relationship."
"But we really don't have any feelings for each other. If we force ourselves to play the role of loving mother and filial daughter, it will be torture for both you and me."
"There's no need for us to wrong ourselves or others, so let's make it clear."
"There is a DNA report, and our parentage is a fact. I will also take on my responsibilities as a mother."
Raise children until they are eighteen years old and provide certain support.
However, she will not be like most parents in China who support their children until the end of their lives.
Gu Qingcheng's words were almost heartless. She just wanted to let Wu Nianqing know: I don't owe you anything.
If you don't regard "Gu Qing" as your biological mother, I won't regard you as my biological daughter either.
We are just a pair of strangers with blood relationship.
"According to the law, I only need to be responsible for you until you turn eighteen."
"But, anyway, I have been absent for the past ten years of your life!"
"How about this, I will prepare an education fund and a dowry for you."
"What will happen to you in the future depends entirely on you!"
Gu Qingcheng's words lacked any of the warmth and kindness of a mother.
Wu Nianqing felt very uncomfortable when he heard it at first.
But, slowly, as she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she actually felt that this was a good thing.
She has no feelings at all, but she has to force herself to act. After being a young lady for more than ten years, Wu Nianqing really can't do it.
It’s still a good arrangement for my biological mother.
You're so polite. Hello, I'm fine too.
Maybe a mother cannot devote her heart and soul to her children like many other parents, but she has not shirked her responsibilities.
Even the debts of the past ten years or so were made up to her by her biological mother.
Comparing her with her biological father who "dotes on the surface but actually favors boys over girls", Wu Nianqing suddenly discovered that such a biological mother is more honest and more reliable.
"...Okay! I agree!"
Wu Nianqing looked straight at Gu Qingcheng, with no embarrassment or complexity in his eyes.
Let it go, let it go completely.
There is no mother-daughter relationship, so there is no need to force it.
After removing this shackle and no longer obsessed with the "mother and daughter" relationship, Wu Nianqing was able to get along with Gu Qingcheng with a normal heart.
"I don't like studying, and I'm not good at business."
"I'm not opposed to music and painting, but I don't have any specific plans."
At the age of seventeen, Wu Nianqing has always relied on his father and elders and has never considered his own "future".
Now, the dream world has collapsed and the little princess is forced to face reality.
Wu Nianqing also began to think about the future.
What should she do?
College entrance exam? Study a versatile major like business administration.
What then? Now that there is no family business for her to inherit, what can she do with her profession? "Ms. Gu, what do you think I should do?"
Without forcing a parent-child relationship, Wu Nianqing treated Gu Qingcheng as a friend.
The two of them also had a tacit understanding about how to address Gu Qingcheng.
Forget about mom or anything like that.
But just saying "you" directly is too blunt.
So, just call her Ms. Gu. It’s not too intimate, but it won’t seem impolite either.
"In the Great Yong Dynasty, I was already engaged, but I also felt lost and uneasy."
"After I get married, I will no longer be the daughter of the Gu family, but the bride of the Wang family."
"Although I am not afraid of unfamiliar environments and I will definitely be able to live well in the Wang family, I am still terrified."
"...Seeing my anxiety, my father and mother decided to take me around the world."
“Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Only by going out, meeting all kinds of people, and appreciating the local customs and practices of different places, can you gain more and deeper insights.”
"You are confused now, which is normal. The college entrance examination is indeed important, but it is not the only way out."
"How about this, you take a year off from school and travel around the world."
“Perhaps, you will have a goal to strive for because of something or someone.”
When the time comes, just work hard towards your goal.
“Even if you don’t have any insights, you can still come back to take the college entrance examination, or apply to a foreign university.”
"...Don't worry, although I don't have much ability, I can promise you that I can definitely let you go to school!"
Gu Qingcheng put Wu Nianqing on an equal footing and was very open-hearted.
They don't look down on their children by relying on their status as elders, nor do they make decisions for their children in a domineering manner under the pretext of "I'm doing this for your own good."
Wu Nianqing benefited greatly from it.
The reason why she could accept her stepmother Jane Xin'ai was because Jane Xin'ai once treated her as a peer.
They were besties, and then their relationship evolved into something more.
Today's Gu Qingcheng is more "equal" than Jian Xinai was back then.
After all, Jian Xin'ai treated Wu Nianqing as a friend in order to continue working in the Wu family.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As for Gu Qingcheng, she really has no desires or requests. She just simply wants to fulfill a responsibility that she does not quite accept!
Without any utilitarianism, one will be extremely sincere.
Wu Nianqing began to accept Gu Qingcheng as her "best friend" and listened to her advice patiently.
"Okay! Ms. Gu, I'll listen to you!"
…
Wu Nianqing and Gu Qingcheng redefined their relationship. There was no more rejection and awkwardness between them, and they became close instead.
Wu Nianqing was unwilling to stay in the Wu family and did not want to face his father and other family members who had changed their attitude.
Even though she is a stepmother, in Wu Nianqing's eyes, she is no longer pure.
Because Wu Nianqing discovered that her stepmother really started to secretly eat the secret recipe that her grandmother gave her.
[This home really no longer belongs to me! ]
However, grandmothers and aunts, who were clearly victims of the preference for boys over girls, have become supporters.
As the quarrel between Wu Siqian and Gu Guohua became more intense, everyone in the Wu family also began to vent their anger on them.
They were not even willing to pretend in front of Wu Nianqing.
Money-loser! Ungrateful! Wu Nianqing never knew that there were such hypocritical and cold family members in this world.
Wu Nianqing finally understood that "love" can really be acted out.
Everything about the Wu family made Wu Nianqing feel very unfamiliar and extremely sad.
Fortunately, there is Ms. Gu!
As long as he doesn't treat Ms. Gu as his biological mother but as his best friend, the two of them will get along very harmoniously.
"Acupuncture?"
"Ms. Gu, do you also know acupuncture?"
Wu Nianqing's eyes widened when he saw Ms. Gu holding silver needles and helping some customers in the sanatorium with physical therapy.
As a person born in the 2000s, Chinese medicine is mysterious and magical.
Especially acupuncture, where such a soft needle can be inserted without bleeding or pain, and can also cure diseases. It is simply too "online".
At certain moments, online novels such as "The Urban Miracle Doctor" and "The Abandoned Young Master of Miracle Doctor" would flash through Wu Nianqing's mind.
"Yes! In the Great Yong Dynasty, all the real sons and daughters of noble families are well-versed in all kinds of knowledge."
"In addition to the six arts of a gentleman, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, there are also backgammon, polo, medicine and other skills."
Some of the sons of noble families are even miracle doctors with superb medical skills.
However, doctors did not have a high social status in ancient times, and those nobles only regarded medicine as a hobby rather than a profession.
Wu Nianqing: ...Ms. Gu seems to have really traveled through time.
Otherwise, where did she learn all these skills?
"Then can I learn acupuncture and pulse diagnosis?"
Wu Nianqing watched Ms. Gu's operations and always felt a sense of awe.
She suddenly became interested.
"Sure, if you want to learn, I can teach you!"
Gu Qingcheng treats Wu Nianqing with a very normal mind, without the shackles of parent-child relationship and without the guilt of being separated for more than ten years.
It’s a good thing that Wu Nianqing wants to learn.
From ancient times to the present, looking around the world, being able to possess a skill is the foundation of life.
Gu Qingcheng found some time to copy and compile an introductory textbook on traditional Chinese medicine and handed it to Wu Nianqing: "Memorize the contents above first, and I will teach you the rest!"
Wu Nianqing: ...Memorize! Wow, as a high school student, the thing I hate most is memorizing, memorizing, memorizing.
However, without the shackles of parent-child relationship, Wu Nianqing also did not have the privileges of being a daughter.
She knew that Ms. Gu would not indulge her.
There is only one chance, and if she does not cherish it, Ms. Gu will not give herself the possibility of "regret".
It’s just memorizing. After more than ten years of exam-oriented education, she is not afraid of it.
Holding the teaching materials written by Ms. Gu for her, Wu Nianqing went to the next room.
She didn't want to go back to the Wu family, but Ms. Gu and her grandfather were worried about her living in another house.
They simply booked a room in the nursing home, and Wu Nianqing became Ms. Gu's neighbor.
After sending Wu Nianqing away, Gu Qingcheng picked up the phone.
On the WeChat chat interface, there are also chat records between her and the original owner’s childhood friend Yuan Mengyuan.
She looked at the last message, then at the time—
"Yuanyuan is probably going to be late again!"
As expected, no matter how good a girlfriend is, after getting married, starting a family, and being separated for more than ten years, the relationship will become distant.
Love, family, friendship... everything the original owner had to face after waking up was not so beautiful.
No wonder she felt aggrieved.
It doesn’t matter. Even if I lose old friends, I can still make new ones.
Holding the phone tightly, Gu Qingcheng's eyes flickered...
