Fang Xueqing trembled all over.
Her mind couldn't help but drift back to all the little things that had happened over the years.
yes.
Ever since she married Gu Baoguo and entered the Gu family, everyone thought she had transformed from a pheasant into a phoenix and was living a good life.
but.
Only she knows how stifled, uncomfortable, and repressed she has been all these years, living on the edge of a precarious situation.
She was afraid that she had done something wrong and would be insulted by Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu.
And what about Gu Baoguo?
When she was being insulted, he always stood obediently to the side, not daring to say a word or even breathe heavily.
I have never said a word in her defense.
This is Gu Baoguo, the man who once promised her a good life and a happy life.
Although she had realized this before, she had no hope for life and never thought of rebelling. She was content as long as she could have a better life.
but.
Now, Gu Nini explained it to her word by word.
She could no longer speak up for Gu Baoguo or stand on his side as she used to.
But.
The thought of divorce filled her with fear.
after all.
In this day and age, nobody gets divorced.
The deeply ingrained idea that a woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, whether he is a chicken or a dog, was already imprinted in her heart.
Thinking of this.
She took a deep breath and said, "Nini, I know what you're saying, but who gets divorced these days? If you do, won't you be gossiped about and cursed for the rest of your life?"
"Even if I really divorce your father, it's uncertain whether you'll be able to get married. And even if you do, people will definitely gossip about you behind your back."
Gu Nini couldn't help but facepalm: "Mom, what era are we living in now? This is a new society, not the old days of arranged marriages where women were expected to follow their husbands wherever they went."
"If a marriage is unhappy, should one force themselves to stay together?"
"It's completely unnecessary to wrong yourself for the rest of your life."
"Besides, if Fu Yichen won't marry me just because you divorced him, then I'd be happy for him. It just means he's not a good match for me."
"I'm trying to get away from it as fast as I can."
Fang Xueqing trembled all over, her expression constantly changing.
It has to be said.
Gu Nini's words had a huge impact on her.
In the first 39 years of her life, she had never heard such remarks, but now she was hearing them from her daughter.
It's easy to imagine how much of an impact this had on her.
A while later.
Fang Xueqing then said to Gu Nini, "Nini, let's talk about this later. Let's think of a way to deal with the upcoming storm!"
“I have a feeling your grandmother will definitely come over and demand an explanation.”
Gu Nini waved her hand and said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm here. Nothing will happen. She can't possibly kill me, can she?"
"Absolutely."
While Gu Nini and Fang Xueqing were talking in the room, Gu Baoguo was still sitting on the floor in the dining room.
His facial expressions kept changing.
at the same time.
Gu Nini's words kept echoing in his mind.
Each word and phrase transformed into countless silver needles, piercing his body.
He was in so much pain he couldn't breathe.
He desperately wanted to find an excuse to convince himself that his mother wasn't biased or that she didn't dislike him, but he just couldn't find a reason to convince himself.
Because his mother really didn't like Fang Xueqing.
She disliked him even before she married into the family, and over the years, she has never changed her mind.
Over the years.
He wasn't unaware of how his mother was targeting Fang Xueqing.
but.
He told himself that his mother was testing her.
As long as Fang Xueqing passes her mother's test, her mother will definitely treat her very well in the future.
However, so many years have passed.
His mother has remained unchanged for ten years.
In particular, Gu Nini's words indicated that even if he were to rip out his heart, his mother would not like him; she would only despise and loathe him even more.
These words had a huge impact on him.
He felt particularly distressed and depressed when he thought about how his mother treated him differently from his brother.
"Have I really been doing the wrong thing all these years?"
At this moment.
For the first time in his life, Gu Baoguo began to reflect on his actions.
Examine yourself.
......
The Gu family's old house.
Fang Shuyuan and Gu Qingqing returned home in a huff.
Old Mrs. Gu, Gu Weiguo, and Gu Weiguo's two sons, Gu Qingcheng and Gu Qingye, sat together at a dining table made of rosewood, eating the dinner served by the servants.
Dinner was very plentiful.
