Chapter 1066: The First Wife Died of Frustration (Thirty-three)
"The original thing?"
Gu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
In her opinion, "Gu Qing" was just being unreasonable.
It's been seventeen years, my daughter has been married for a long time, and she is still in a coma. How could her things still be there? The Gu family is indeed well off. In the provincial capital, they are considered middle class.
In the early 2000s, our family had a house with four bedrooms and two living rooms.
As an only child, Gu Qing not only has her own room, but also a study.
But as time went by, Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Changqing arrived one after another, and there were not enough rooms.
At first, Gu Qing’s things could be placed in the utility room, but the day would come when the utility room would be full.
And with the changing times, furniture, home appliances, etc. are also being updated.
When Gu Xiaoxiao first went to the Gu family, the family still had a big slicked-back color TV and a whole wall of modular furniture.
But after 2010, all these were replaced by LCD and plasma TVs and customized whole-house designs.
Even if Gu Qing was still here, the old things would still be disposed of.
This is probably a cognitive bias.
A girl who comes from an unhappy family cannot understand the "willfulness" of a spoiled only child.
For an only child like Gu Qing who has been the center of the family since birth, she is the favorite of her parents and the little princess of the entire family.
Even after getting married, her room and everything she owns will be well kept.
This is indeed the case.
After Gu Qing got married, her home remained the same as it was before her marriage.
To her, the Gu family was not her "mother's home" but her home! Until an accident happened and she fell into a coma... everything began to change.
These changes made Gu Qing feel extremely depressed when he "woke up".
The original owner's wish was to not feel aggrieved, and Gu Qingcheng would naturally satisfy it in all aspects.
"Yes, if you love me so much, why can't you stick with me from beginning to end?"
Gu Qingcheng seemed not to notice Gu Xiaoxiao's speechlessness and continued speaking calmly.
Gu Xiaoxiao felt that "Gu Qing" was even more heartless, "Persevere? Gu Qing, have you ever considered your parents?"
"That year, they were both in their fifties and almost lost their only daughter."
"Mom got depressed because of you, and Dad had no choice but to adopt me."
"And Changqing, God took pity on my parents and blessed them with a son..."
Gu Xiaoxiao really couldn't understand Gu Qing's selfishness.
If she falls into a coma, will her parents also fall into darkness?
They are still alive, can't they have a good old age and someone to rely on?
Gu Qingcheng pretended to be puzzled and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao, as if wondering: Why are you so excited? I didn't say that I blamed them or hated them.
I just think of myself as a "married woman". Even if I get divorced, I will not go back to my parents' home to trouble my family. Isn't this the state of being together in a multi-child family? The moment Gu Qingcheng received the task, she already had the main idea - if she didn't make herself feel wronged, she would have no conscience.
If you can't give up your kinship, then treat each other with respect.
As for feelings, there is really no need to force them.
In fact, it is a better approach for someone like Gu Qingcheng to keep a certain distance from Gu Guohua's family and maintain a superficial relationship.
Smells good from a distance but stinks up close!
Especially Gu Qingcheng and her siblings Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Changqing, they have never really gotten along with each other.
If they force themselves to get together, there will definitely be constant friction.
At that time, Gu Guohua and his wife will be caught in the middle and in a dilemma.
And the little remaining feelings will be completely consumed by trivialities and trifles.
Rather than getting tired of each other, it is better to make your attitude clear early on.
Although it was a bit polite and a bit awkward, it didn't mean we would fall out. It would be good for everyone! "Yeah, I understand! I understand everything!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded perfunctorily.
Gu Xiaoxiao: ...
What kind of people are these?
How can you be so selfish?
She is in her forties and a mother herself, but she has no compassion for her elderly parents.
And Changqing, no matter what, is Gu Qing's closest relative by blood.
But she, she——
Gu Xiaoxiao cannot understand Gu Qingcheng, and Gu Qingcheng thinks she is "double-standard".
So what if Gu Changqing is her biological brother? They are not familiar with each other.
Besides, how many times has Gu Changqing come to see her since "Gu Qing" woke up? The younger brother doesn't know how to get close to his sister and feel sorry for her. Why should the sister love and indulge her younger brother? Don't say that the older sister should give in to the younger brother.
My sister and my brother are both my parents’ children, and neither of them gives way to the other.
The relationship between people is a two-way journey.
Gu Xiaoxiao is willing to be Gu Changqing's good sister. That's her business. Just be happy and don't drag others into it!
"...Okay, I understand what you mean!"
Gu Qingcheng was too lazy to waste words with people who had different values from her.
"You have your opinion, but I have mine."
"I won't resent you for taking away my parents and my life, but please don't interfere with my freedom!"
"I will be filial to my parents! I will also go back to Gu's family!"
However, it is definitely not what others expect, pretending that nothing has happened and suppressing oneself to fulfill everyone's wishes.
Cutting the Gordian knot quickly and making a good separation first may make relatives sad, but it is better than long-term internal friction and mutual torture in the future! The parents have an adopted daughter who replaced the original owner, and they also have a more precious son who came in their old age.
As for Gu Qingcheng, she also created a pair of parents from another world for "Gu Qing"... Everyone has found their emotional sustenance, and no one owes anyone anything, so just live your best.
Gu Qingcheng made her attitude very clear.
Gu Xiaoxiao still couldn't understand. She always felt that children shouldn't care too much about their parents.
This is unfilial!
However, Gu Xiaoxiao did not ignore some of Gu Qingcheng's little actions.
From the moment she sat down, her hands and her eyes never left the two long boxes.
When Sang Tian bumped into it just now, the box fell and the scroll inside rolled out.
Gu Xiaoxiao vaguely saw that the scroll seemed to contain a portrait.
Could it be——
Gu Xiaoxiao guessed a possibility, and for some reason, she actually asked, "Is this portrait your 'father' and 'mother'?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Even at this point, Gu Xiaoxiao, who has always been rational and materialistic, still does not believe in the so-called time travel.
But, Gu Qingcheng’s behavior was too strange.
Gu Xiaoxiao had either heard about her words and actions after she woke up from her adoptive parents or seen them with her own eyes.
Gu Qingcheng truly exudes nobility from the inside out, and she also possesses skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, which Gu Qing had never learned before.
And at this moment, Gu Qingcheng's eyes looking at the two boxes always reveal admiration, longing and other emotions inadvertently.
It was as if what were placed in front of her were not two objects, but her closest relatives.
"Yes! I don't know when I can go back, but I really miss them, so I painted their portraits..."
When talking about her father and mother, Gu Qingcheng instantly softened.
It's no longer covered with thorns like before.
Gu Xiaoxiao felt even more heartbroken.
Then, she really understood one thing——
This biological daughter of my parents has really grown estranged from them.
Everything can never go back to the way it was.
"……I see!"
Gu Xiaoxiao is not a person who would dwell on trivial matters. Once she realizes that something is "irreversible", she will not force it.
Furthermore, just like what she said "modestly" at the beginning, her status really did not make her suitable for interfering in the affairs between her adoptive parents and Gu Qing.
She had been a little presumptuous. After clarifying "Gu Qing's" attitude, she should have given up at the right time.
I felt sorry for my adoptive parents before and didn’t think much about it for a while.
Now, after being criticized again and again by Gu Qingcheng, Gu Xiaoxiao finally understood everything.
"Sorry, I was impulsive today."
She is not Gu Qing and can never empathize with her.
Since you can't empathize with others, you shouldn't make "suggestions" easily.
Gu Xiaoxiao apologized politely and started packing her things.
"Hmm!" It's indeed presumptuous.
But he still had some brains and did not continue to stand on the moral high ground to accuse her and try to kidnap her.
When Gu Xiaoxiao saw her cheap sister being so willful and self-willed, she felt inexplicably envious.
Such willfulness must have been emboldened by the relatives around her.
But she, Gu Xiaoxiao, had never received such preference and favor.
She would never be able to be as willful and free-spirited as Gu Qing.
Maybe people will criticize me, but they don't care at all.
The most important thing is to live a happy life... But, Gu Xiaoxiao knows this truth, but she can't do it!
"... Later, when you have time, go visit your parents."
Picking up the bag containing the notebook, Gu Xiaoxiao paused before leaving, without looking back, and said something in a low voice.
Gu Qingcheng sneered, "Do I need you to tell me? They are my parents!"
Gu Qingcheng defines herself as the daughter of a multiple-child family who got married and divorced. She is no longer the only one with her parents, but she will not really be an ungrateful person.
Gu Qingcheng would not refuse regular visits or taking on various responsibilities when one is old.
At most, you can no longer be a caring and sweet little girl under the care of your parents.
"That's good!"
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't care about Gu Qingcheng's "ugly appearance". A bitter smile flashed across her lips. She picked up her bag and left the cafe.
Gu Qingcheng didn't look at it, but took out his cell phone.
She opened WeChat, found the friend she had just added, clicked on it, and sent a voice message:
"Miss, I'm Qingqing, do you still remember me?"
Gu Xiaoxiao walked out of the cafe and did not go directly to the parking lot. Instead, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the floor-to-ceiling window.
I just happened to see Gu Qingcheng playing with her mobile phone with her head down.
Gu Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly again: ...What am I expecting? Expecting that my conversation would touch Gu Qing?
Even if no one sees you off, will you just sit there in a daze?
As a result, Gu Qing didn't take her or her words seriously at all.
Being heartless...is also good!
"Seeing you so happy, I suddenly believe that you are only seventeen years old at heart!"
Gu Xiaoxiao was envious and jealous. She stared at him for a long time before she walked away.
She is different from Gu Qing. She has neither the qualifications nor the confidence to be willful.
Keep working hard, workers!
