Xu Ningyan was shocked in the bathroom!
She finally understood how Gu Yong had fought his way through a group of suitors to win Jiang Yuan's heart.
It's all thanks to his silver tongue and ability to sweet-talk people!
Right now, imagine a woman with a weaker will. Imagine her husband, who holds a high position and has the final say, pleading with her so desperately, saying that he's not right, and that every word he says is about his love for her. He keeps mentioning that he's only committed to her, and that he wants to grow old with her, to share a bed in life and a grave in death!
Who isn't confused? Who isn't moved? Who isn't swayed?
No wonder Jiang Yuan has been stuck in the quagmire of the Gu family for more than a decade and has not been able to extricate herself.
That's because in this quagmire, there's Gu Yong, a man who's become a spirit of mud, who uses sweet words and emotions to create countless invisible threads, binding Jiang Yuan tightly to this quagmire.
Today, his words made Jiang Yuan realize her mistakes, so Gu Yong became anxious, fearing that if he persuaded her again overnight, she would become even more determined to divorce him. So, he disregarded his reputation and came to continue to brainwash Jiang Yuan.
Xu Ningyan was furious. He had attacked the Gu family indiscriminately today and finally managed to make Jiang Yuan realize the truth. Was this an attempt to ruin everything?
dream!
Pretending not to hear anything, she flung open the bathroom door and, without even looking up, said, "Aunt Jiang, I'm done showering. You—"
A scream echoed throughout the Gu family.
Hearing the commotion, the brothers Gu Zhiyuan and Gu Zhixing, who lived on the same floor, immediately opened the door and rushed out of the room: "A-Ning, what's wrong?"
"Sister-in-law, what happened?"
...
Then silence fell.
Everyone stared at Gu Yong, who had just been standing at the door with a humble and aggrieved expression, holding Jiang Yuan's hand and half-kneeling, without saying a word.
When Gu Yong heard Xu Ningyan scream, he knew something was wrong. He was also frightened and tried to stand up, even though he was about to kneel down.
The momentum of the rise was too rapid and too chaotic. Suddenly, my waist was pulled, and I froze on the spot.
Then it was seen by the brothers Gu Zhiyuan and Gu Zhixing.
Gu Yong felt utterly humiliated today and dared not glare at Xu Ningyan, so he could only glare at his two sons instead.
She slowly rubbed her lower back, gave a cold snort, and pretended nothing was wrong: "I came up to get my pajamas—"
Jiang Yuan didn't say anything, turned around, took Gu Yong's pajamas, threw them at him, and slammed the door shut.
Gu Yong hurriedly took the pajamas, nearly hitting his nose on the door. He wanted to complain, but when he turned around, he met the expectant eyes of his two dutiful sons. He lost his temper and growled, "Aren't you going to sleep? What are you doing standing outside?"
After yelling, she stormed downstairs with her pajamas in her arms.
After Gu Yong came downstairs, the two brothers, Gu Zhiyuan and Gu Zhixing, exchanged a glance and silently went back to their room.
Gu Zhiyuan was alright; he could hold back.
Gu Zhixing went back to his room, and before he could even close the door, he burst into tears of laughter, clutching his stomach.
Jiang Yuan closed the door and looked at Xu Ningyan with a somewhat embarrassed expression. At her age, she was embarrassed to let the younger generation see her like this.
Xu Ningyan remained calm and unperturbed, saying, "Aunt Jiang, you should go wash up!"
Jiang Yuan nodded, ignoring the embarrassment on her face, took her clothes and went into the bathroom. She lingered for a long time until the embarrassment on her face faded before she finally came out.
This day was full of ups and downs.
Jiang Yuan and Xu Ningyan both felt physically and mentally exhausted.
After exchanging only a few words, he went to bed, turned off the light, and prepared to sleep.
There's another tough battle to fight tomorrow morning.
According to Xu Ningyan's idea, if Jiang Yuan wants a divorce, they should strike while the iron is hot and try to get Gu Yong to agree to the divorce by tomorrow, and then quickly complete the formalities.
Otherwise, with Gu Yong's silver tongue and persistent effort, he might just persuade Jiang Yuan to change her mind one day.
Although Jiang Yuan was physically and mentally exhausted, she couldn't fall asleep because of the big thing on her mind.
Xu Ningyan was the same; he had enjoyed cursing so much today that his brain was still buzzing with excitement.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan couldn't sleep, he simply sat up and said, "Aunt Jiang, you can't sleep either. Let's talk, maybe you'll fall asleep."
Jiang Yuan also sat up, and the two of them, covered with a thin blanket, leaned against the headboard.
After a long pause, Jiang Yuan finally spoke: "Xiao Yan, do you think your aunt is useless? A fool? All these years, she's been coaxed and deceived, suffering for herself and her child! I'm really not a good mother!"
Xu Ningyan really wanted to complain, "Aunt Jiang, it seems you have a very accurate understanding of your own position."
After all, she is Gu Zhiyuan's biological mother, and also a victim in a way. At this time, what she needs most is encouragement, not criticism.
After thinking for a moment, she spoke: "Auntie, this is not your fault! It's just that the enemy is too cunning! Which girl gets married without thinking about growing old together and spending her whole life hand in hand with her partner? They all treat their partners with the warmest, softest, and most sincere heart! But some people just change along the way! Not only do they change themselves, but they also don't allow you to change, and they still expect you to treat them the same as before!"
"How can you say this is the girl's fault? Even if she is, the other person is nine-tenths wrong, and the girl is one-tenth wrong! The girl's mistake was that she trusted the other person too much, invested too much and too slowly in the relationship, didn't love herself enough, and wasn't decisive enough!"
Jiang Yuan felt a little better after Xu Ningyan comforted her with a few words.
In the darkness, unable to see the other person's face clearly, Jiang Yuan felt extremely safe, finally giving her the desire to confide in them.
At this moment, she didn't care that Xu Ningyan was a junior, just a teenager, and would most likely become her daughter-in-law in the future. She had just been feeling resentful for too long, and finally someone was willing to listen to her.
In Jiang Yuan's confession, what she said was roughly the same as what Gu Zhiyuan and Xu Ningyan said. However, when it came to her feelings, it was not what Gu Zhiyuan and his brother Gu Yong thought. She really loved Gu Yong so much that she lost herself.
On the contrary, Jiang Yuan remained very calm.
“I know that among all the men who wanted to marry me, Gu Yong wasn’t the best in terms of conditions! He was a rough country bumpkin. Although he was somewhat clever and capable, given his circumstances, reaching the position of army commander was already his limit.”
"I chose him because I was very averse to refined and cultured men. My father was a very scholarly man in the eyes of outsiders, but at home, he was a completely different person in front of my mother. He was mean and sarcastic, revealing the worst side of a scholar."
"So I swore at that time that I would never marry a man like my father! And Gu Yong was not ungrateful at the time. He sent people back to look for his parents, wife and children, but they couldn't find them. He was very sad for a while and was even injured because of it, almost dying. Everyone thinks he is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. I know he had feelings for me, but before he knew that his parents, wife and children were gone, he always restrained himself in front of me."
"Even after he learned of this devastating news, he felt inferior and avoided me for a while! It wasn't until after liberation that he formally proposed to the organization that he wanted to form a revolutionary family with me! During this time, other female comrades also expressed their affection for him, but he always resolutely rejected them!"
"so--"
Jiang Yuan didn't finish her sentence, but Xu Ningyan understood, so Jiang Yuan was moved and agreed to Gu Yong's marriage proposal.
