"Actually, it's not impossible."
After saying this, Ning Hong left, leaving Ning Zhen alone in the courtyard, heartbroken.
Why can't his whole family understand him?
He saw Gu Qingxiu standing not far away, expressionless, and felt inexplicably guilty.
I don't know how much of what he said just now she heard.
"Qingxiu—"
He stepped forward, deciding to persuade Gu Qingxiu first, and then have Gu Qingxiu help him persuade the others.
“You should understand how I feel, right? After all, our marriage was a feudal arranged marriage—” Before he could finish speaking, Gu Qingxiu glared at him fiercely.
"Qingxiu—"
Gu Qingxiu snorted coldly and turned to leave.
What kind of reaction is this?
In order to get his family to agree to his divorce from Gu Qingxiu, Ning Zhenzhen started a hunger strike.
While Ning Zhen was on a hunger strike, Gu Qingxiu began to pack her things.
"What are you doing?"
Ning Zhen leaned weakly against the bed, watching Gu Qingxiu busily packing things.
Why are you packing your luggage?
"You want to divorce me? I need to be prepared first."
Gu Qingxiu said coldly, looking at Ning Zhen as if she were a stranger.
"You're willing to divorce me?" Ning Zhen was overjoyed. If Qingxiu had asked, they would definitely have agreed.
“No.” Gu Qingxiu shook her head. “I’m living quite well in the Ning family. I don’t want to leave here at all. To be honest, I always thought you would keep a mistress—”
"What kind of person do you take me for? We educated youth have always admired the idea of one person for life," Ning Zhen said, her eyes wide.
"fine."
Gu Qingxiu nodded. It was a pity; this deep affection wasn't for his wife, but for another woman.
Ning Zhen's determination to get a divorce is very strong.
He really did faint from hunger.
Ning's father sighed repeatedly, while Ning's mother kept shedding tears.
Gu Qingxiu sat quietly in the corner, sighing inwardly.
It's about time to go.
"I--"
"If you wake up, eat something first, then we can have a good talk."
Ning Hong suddenly interrupted Gu Qingxiu.
Gu Qingxiu was taken aback, but then she saw Ning Zhen touch his nose and sit up shakily. The maid next to him quickly put a cushion under him to make him more comfortable.
"Let me make it clear, I wasn't faking it. I really did faint and just woke up."
Ning's mother's tears dried instantly, while Ning's father gritted his teeth, "If we didn't have a stick right now, see how I would beat you?"
"Dad, the stick."
Ning Hong silently handed him a stick.
The stick is about two fingers wide.
It looks very sturdy.
Ning's father: "..."
"Dad, go ahead and give him a good beating."
Ning Zhen's eyes widened. "Brother, are you even my real brother? How could you be so cruel?"
"If I weren't your own brother, hmph."
Ning Hong then forcefully snapped the wooden stick in two.
Ning Zhen immediately chickened out.
He shrank back, no longer daring to speak.
Seeing that the room had quieted down, Ning Hong coughed lightly and spoke.
"Ning Zhen, I'll ask you one more time, are you sure you want to divorce Qingxiu?"
"I'm sure." Ning Zhen nodded vigorously.
"I really regret letting you go to this university. You didn't learn much of the good stuff, but you learned all the bad stuff to the fullest."
"Brother, what did I do?"
"No? You speak so grandly, talking about feudal society and arranged marriages, but you're just fickle."
Ning Hong shook her head, her face filled with deep disappointment.
"Since you want to divorce Qingxiu, I will grant your wish, but don't regret it later."
"ah--"
A gleam of joy flashed in Ning Zhen's eyes. "Brother, you really agreed?"
Ning Zhen didn't think he would regret it. In his opinion, marrying Qingxiu was the thing he regretted the most.
“Hongze, that Qingxiu—”
Ning's mother was actually reluctant to let Qingxiu go, but Ning Zhen was her most beloved youngest son, so what could she say? She could only hope that her eldest son could make proper arrangements for Qingxiu.
"Mother, would you mind taking in a goddaughter?"
"What?" Ning's mother's eyes widened. "God-daughter?"
"Anyway, Mother can't bear to part with Qingxiu, so she might as well keep her at home as her daughter."
"Isn't this... strange?"
The idea that the daughter-in-law turned into a daughter is really strange.
"How could it be weird? I think it's great. Qingxiu, what do you think? How about I become your sworn brother?"
"This—" Gu Qingxiu was completely stunned. She never expected Ning Hongze to say such a thing. If she really became Ning's daughter, then Ning Zhen would also become her brother.
But for her, this is a good thing.
This means she doesn't have to leave the Ning family.
In any case, in the future, the eldest brother will be in charge of the Ning family, and he will definitely not let anyone mistreat her.
In an instant, a myriad of thoughts flashed through Gu Qingxiu's mind, but she could not find a reason to refuse.
“As long as my parents-in-law agree, I am naturally willing.”
Gu Qingxiu licked her lower lip and said those words.
"Father, Mother, what do you think? This way, everything will be resolved."
“What you said makes some sense, so let’s do it this way.” Mr. Ning agreed first, then his eldest son and husband agreed, and Mrs. Ning naturally nodded in agreement as well.
