"Wrong?" Gu Changhe laughed awkwardly, "Yes, it's all my fault. I caused this evil relationship and harmed the girl and the child's mother."
Shen Sisi felt that her father-in-law had some awareness, but not very high.
"Of course you are wrong, and you are extremely wrong." At this moment, Shen Sisi didn't regard him as her father-in-law at all, but just looked at a man who made a mistake.
Gu Changhe smacked his lips, his face, over fifty years old, looked silly, like a child being criticized: "Is it as serious as you say?"
"I was just not with your mother at a few critical moments. I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, there's nothing between me and that girl. She's not in Kyoto anymore. We're innocent, but she made a scene out of it. She put up banners and spread rumors in front of people. I haven't even divorced her. Isn't that sincere enough?"
Xu Hongying did go too far in hanging the banner, but she is not a fool. Otherwise, why would she have endured it for several years and only put up the banner after her children grew up?
Something must have happened, or he must have heard some rumors.
"A man like me doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't have affairs with other men, and hands over his salary... If she leaves me, where can she find a man as good as me?"
He was said to be out of breath but he still acted!
...
...
Do you really think you are a treasure?
Even if what he has is a piece of precious jade, it is a piece of jade with flaws and impurities.
Having said that, Shen Sisi finally understood. It turned out that her father-in-law came to pay New Year's greetings today for other purposes.
She was so proud of herself for being able to trick Gu Changhe into thinking so without making any noise, but she didn't expect that she was the one who fell into the trap.
And what did he just say?
divorce?
"Mom asked you for a divorce?" When Shen Sisi heard this news, it was as if she had heard the sun explode.
Gu Changhe sighed and nodded: "I don't know what medicine your mother took wrong. When she was leaving last night, she suddenly told me that she was tired and wanted to let go. She also said that she had the courage after seeing you."
See her?
What does the divorce of the old couple have to do with her?
"Your mother said that the reason she had been holding back on getting a divorce was for the sake of her three children. Now that her children have started their own families and careers, it's time for her to regain her freedom."
Hearing this, Gu Changhe panicked a little. He knew how much Xu Hongying valued this marriage.
She had survived all those things back then, and she would get angry with anyone who dared to ask for a divorce.
As it turned out, she brought it up herself, still with a calm expression.
"Hongying has changed!" Gu Changhe took a deep breath: "And all this is because of you."
"I?"
"Yes, she saw in you how a woman climbed out of the mire and lived on without fear of gossip. Only then did she realize that divorce is not such a big deal."
Shen Sisi never thought that she could be a role model for others. It seemed that the marriage between the old couple was in danger.
She didn't want to be labeled a troublemaker: "Dad, we are talking about your business now, don't change the subject!"
Gu Changhe immediately stopped talking and straightened his back slightly.
Shen Sisi then said: “First of all, the fact that you can tell me these things proves that you don’t want to get divorced and you still want to save the relationship, right?”
Gu Changhe stammered, his face flushed, and finally uttered one word: "Yes..."
"Well, you have to know where you went wrong first." Shen Sisi fiddled with the dried oranges on the stove.
“Have you ever thought that disappointment can be accumulated?”
This question stumped Gu Changhe, a rough man.
"In fact, you handled this matter wrongly from the beginning. Excuse me, you broke off the engagement with that girl, and you should have given her compensation, right?"
Gu Changhe nodded honestly: "Yes, I gave it to them as an apology."
"If that's the case, you don't owe her anything, so why are you still dragging your feet? Why are you still hanging around with her?"
"I..." Gu Changhe couldn't explain why, he just felt guilty when he saw the girl.
"Your ambiguous attitude is the root cause of hurting two women!"
"Excuse me for saying something unpleasant, but that auntie is also problematic. She knows that you are already married with a wife and children, but she still comes to you again and again. Everyone knows what Sima Zhao is thinking, except you..."
"Or are you pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth, Dad?"
Every word Shen Sisi said was heart-piercing, and her sharp gaze was like two sharp swords, piercing Gu Chengfeng in front of her.
The problem that had troubled him for a long time was pierced through by a sharp sword at this moment. It turned out that his kindness was ambiguous and entangled in the eyes of others.
Gu Changhe also became anxious and hurriedly explained: "Sisi, don't talk nonsense, I haven't done anything wrong to your mother!"
"But your actions have really hurt my mother and the children in the family."
Gu Changhe fell into deep thought. He never expected that his guilt towards the girl and his so-called kindness and responsibility would turn into a poisoned knife and pierce into his heart.
Seeing that his shock didn't seem to be a lie, Shen Sisi whispered, "Dad, if you really want to win back Mom, you have to be practical. You should know that the snowflakes of disappointment don't fall in one day. It must have accumulated over a long period of time before it will avalanche. Now is not too late. You know what to do."
She has said so much, whether he can truly understand it depends on his own luck.
"Okay... I understand! Thank you, Sisi!" Gu Changhe was a little excited: "I have kept these words in my heart for decades. Today I finally found an opportunity to express my grievances. Thank you, child..."
"Decades?" Shen Sisi looked at Gu Chengfeng who was holding Niuniu high outside the door and said, "You've never talked to your children about it?"
He shook his head: "They all hate me, and they hardly hate me when I talk. I can understand that. After all, I haven't taken care of them for a few days."
"So, you deliberately picked me, the newbie?" Shen Sisi joked.
Gu Changhe did not answer, but smiled like an old fox: "I never understood why Chengfeng and his mother liked you before, now I understand a little bit."
"Others treat me as the chief, the leader, and the elder. You, a little girl, are not afraid of me at all and even dare to teach me a lesson." He said in a pretentious manner.
Shen Sisi smiled calmly: "You are the leader outside, and the head of the family here. Do you need to be afraid to talk to your family? Besides, you have humbled yourself to ask me for advice, so of course I will tell you everything I know to show my respect for you~."
She blinked her eyes playfully, and her frankness, courage, intelligence and eloquence made Gu Changhe laugh heartily.
Hearing the laughter, Gu Chengfeng's fingers paused slightly and his expression became a little unnatural.
I haven't heard laughter in my house for many years...
"What are you talking about?" Xu Hongying brought out the porridge and greeted Shen Sisi with a smile. She accidentally caught a glimpse of Gu Changhe and her unhappy expression instantly turned sour.
"Some people came early in the morning just because they smelled the smell!"
If it had been before, Gu Changhe would have been so angry that he would have gone crazy and would not have eaten the meal.
But today, after being pointed out by Shen Sisi, he shamelessly picked up the bowl and chopsticks: “You still understand me.”
Xu Hongying frowned. The sun rose from the west?
