Chapter 419: Breaking the Pot
She took a walk in the garden of Lu's house accompanied by Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Mom, just say whatever you want to say." Su Xiaoli smiled at her.
"Xiao Li, your belly is almost showing...Mom is thinking, should we find a father for Xiao Ning..." Zhang Yun didn't want to mention her daughter's sad story.
But it is even more pitiful that the grandson was born without a father.
How could Su Xiaoli not know what Zhang Yun was thinking.
She really wanted to play dumb, but she couldn't stand Zhang Yun's expectant and anxious gaze.
"Mom," she smiled bitterly in her heart, was silent for a moment, and then talked about the past with a natural look on her face.
"Do you remember the days when Dad just passed away and we and Grandma depended on each other?"
Zhang Yun paused.
Su Xiaoli also knew that she shouldn't bring up her mother's sad story, but she had to make things clear to Zhang Yun.
Her tone was calm, and her emotions were almost invisible: "At that time, grandpa forced you to remarry, but you delayed for several years."
Zhang Yun felt a swelling in her heart and looked at Su Xiaoli.
Su Xiaoli continued softly, "You and Dad love each other, you don't want to find me an unsuitable stepfather, and you don't want to marry someone you don't love, right?"
Zhang Yun still didn't say anything. After a while, she nodded.
"Mom, I left Gu Feihan not because I didn't love him, but because I couldn't accept the way he loved me."
"Like you, I can't marry someone I don't love, even if he can be a suitable father."
These days, Su Xiaoli deliberately slowed down the pace of life.
Firstly, my physical condition was too weak due to various internal injuries in my early years, and the doctor advised me not to overwork myself. Secondly, I also wanted to sort out my mood.
Although leaving Gu Feihan was an extreme measure, it was the only way for both of them to completely sober up.
As a new mother, she also thought a lot about her child.
The most crucial point: only if she, as a mother, has the right mentality, the child will not grow up in a wrong way.
Having lived two lifetimes, Su Xiaoli knew very well how important a complete family is to a child.
But this "completeness" does not mean just any person.
Rather, the parents’ attitude towards each other is complete and respectful.
On top of this, giving the child the love of his parents can make it truly complete.
She has always treated Lu Sinian and Ling Yicheng's expectations coldly, but she has also thought about it seriously.
I also know the gratitude and loyalty between these two people and myself, the things that happened in the past, and the deep friendship. The two of them voluntarily and spontaneously took care of me, so there must be further ideas involved.
It’s not like she hasn’t refused in person before, both before and recently.
Especially after coming to Hong Kong Island, the two of them tried to test each other in various ways, and she drew a line and clearly refused.
She knew in her heart that her attitude towards Lu Sinian was purely out of respect for her brother.
As for Ling Yicheng, although she was a little dazed due to PTSD after returning from the sea, after deep psychological analysis and hypnosis treatment, she realized that it was empathy, not love.
Since it is not love, no matter who you choose as your marriage partner, it is a deception and disrespect to yourself and those two people.
It is better to respect her own heart and let nature take its course.
As for Xiao Ning, she planned not to hide it from the beginning.
Tell your children clearly what is good love and what is bad love.
Both adults and children make mistakes.
Just because dad made a mistake doesn’t mean he is a bad person.
Now that she told all this to Zhang Yun, she knew that both her grandparents and Lin Yazhi had tipped off Zhang Yun to lobby for their grandsons.
Zhang Yun couldn't help but frown, feeling a little confused.
It seems that what my daughter said makes more sense...
Su Xiaoli took Zhang Yun's hand, patted it gently, and smiled gently, "Mom, don't think too much, there will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain."
Zhang Yun glanced at her silently and asked awkwardly, "Um... is it really okay?"
"Marrying someone you don't truly love will expose bigger problems over time. It's better than having two adults suffer and the children suffer as well."
Zhang Yun hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
Seeing Zhang Yun enter Mr. Lu’s study and the door closed, Lu Sinian approached quietly.
Unexpectedly, the next second, he saw Ling Yicheng also walking towards him quietly.
The two men looked at each other.
They looked at each other with disdain, as if to say, "Don't I know you?"
The two men's jawlines were tense, their Adam's apples slid slowly, and they were both a little nervous.
There was no time to squeeze each other, as both of them had already put their ears close to the door and slowed down their breathing.
In the study, after hearing what Zhang Yun said, Mr. Lu and his wife looked at each other and were silent for a long time.
Lu Sinian and Ling Yicheng stood at the door and listened quietly, feeling increasingly cold in their hearts.
"Xiao Li still doesn't want to..."
“…I heard it…”
Although it was expected, everyone still sighed deeply at the same time.
The merciless rain... keeps falling.
The two men got drunk to their heart's content.
Have a drink and make some friends.
Gu Feihan returned to his own courtyard.
He was the only one standing there in the huge house. Although it was a scorching hot day, he could feel a cold wind blowing towards him from all directions, making him shiver with cold.
Old Master Gu once again drove him out, and said, "If you can't take Xiao Li home, you evil creature, don't come back!"
How could he not want to see her, ask for her forgiveness, and take her home?
Although no one has lived in this courtyard for several years, when Xiao Li first came to Beijing, every bit of their life here seemed like a dream, both real and unreal.
His hand couldn't help but touch the pillow next to him, and Xiao Li's silly look when sleeping seemed to be right in front of him.
A hint of obscure pain surged in Gu Feihan's already deep eyes.
Xiao Li said he did something wrong.
His parents said he was wrong.
The third sister also said that he was wrong.
He knew he was wrong, and he knew it from the very beginning.
He knew very well that if he did something wrong, he would be punished, and if he committed a sin, he would have to atone for it.
But who could have known how he would have gotten through those dark nights alone with all the anxiety and wild thoughts.
He admits that he is an extremely selfish person.
It was because of Su Xiaoli that he learned how to love and care for others, how to pursue dreams with her, and how to cooperate with powerful people for mutual benefit.
However, he pushed his lover away with his own hands, so far that he could no longer see her.
Given Xiao Li's personality, I'm afraid she will never pay attention to him in this life.
Gu Feihan hugged Su Xiaoli's pillow dejectedly. The more he recognized this fact, the more sour his nose felt, the harder his throat became, and the more tears flowed.
An insurmountable abyss.
It felt like I couldn't take even a step forward.
