Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 590: Bizarre Fate

Second Aunt Gu’s heart sank.

Everything was fine just a moment ago, what happened?

But no matter what, she couldn’t let Shu Xiang rush out crying like this.

At this time, the courtyard was bustling with people coming and going.

Almost everyone knew Shu Xiang was her son’s girlfriend.

She grabbed Shu Xiang and asked anxiously, "Shu Xiang, what happened? Who bullied you? Tell aunty, and I’ll take care of it for you."

Before Shu Xiang could respond, Gu Huaiming, who had rushed over from behind, grabbed Shu Xiang’s hand and said furiously, "Who bullied her? Ask your own darling daughter, it’s your spoiling that’s done this, she’s unreasonable and doesn’t know any better."

Shu Xiang sneered inwardly.

Not knowing any better? This is simply a lack of upbringing and looking down on others.

The Gu family is no different, they appear shiny and bright, but each of them, well, that’s another story.

Shu Xiang bowed her head, hiding the hatred in her eyes.

She would remember the humiliation from Gu Jiaojiao today for life.

She would never forgive her!

Inside the living room, Gu Jiaojiao started to feel afraid.

Although she didn’t like her brother’s girlfriend, she didn’t mean for anything else to happen.

If they really broke up, would her brother hit her?

Oh, what to do?

Second Aunt Gu, irritated, looked toward the living room and saw the troublemaker Jiaojiao hiding behind Little Nuan.

She really knew how to find protection for herself.

Shu Xiang shook off Gu Huaiming’s hand and choked out, "Gu Huaiming, my family’s background is humble, and the gap between your family and mine is too great. I truly am not worthy of you. It’s said that a short pain is better than a long one, rather than quarreling incessantly in the future, it’s better to break up peacefully now. I’ll leave, and you can all pretend I never came. I won’t talk nonsense with others, and we won’t see each other ever again!"

With that, Shu Xiang walked past Second Aunt Gu—who wanted to hold her back—tears streaming down her face, and headed for the exit.

This...

Second Aunt Gu wanted to curse.

If you really thought like that, shouldn’t you have wiped away your tears?

Running out crying like this, what would people think?

Especially since Chu Jina from the neighboring Chu family was fond of her eldest son, and she actually quite liked Jina, having watched her grow up from a young age.

Not to mention, she was also on good terms with Guo Xia.

But her eldest son had taken a fancy to Shu Xiang.

He liked her enormously.

She knew very well that their Gu family had no need to concern themselves with social status as long as she was steady and had a good character, which was better than anything else.

Besides, the Shu family wasn’t a nameless, faceless household; Shu Xiang’s uncle worked in education, and there were many teachers in her family, just like her name suggested—a family of scholars.

After having suffered such a grievance, how could Shu Xiang not speak of it when she got home?

She looked so frail and weak, but she was actually quite cunning.

She surely hated her own younger daughter to death and was probably concocting some story.

Moreover, even if the couple broke up, it couldn’t be because of her daughter.

To say she didn’t care would be a lie.

Old Master Gu was strict and would never allow such a situation to occur.

And sure enough, Old Master Gu was furious beyond measure.

This was the first time Little Nuan had come to visit, and he had waited for such a long time, only for it to be disrupted like this.

Both individuals had good composure; their faces revealed nothing.

Especially Little Nuan, destined for great things, she disliked dwelling on trifles.

But, Jiaojiao had already apologized.

Yet Shu Xiang still couldn’t let go of her anger.

What could be done?

Seeing the foolish look of his eldest grandson, it was clear that a breakup was out of the question.

He was being manipulated.

Old Master Gu couldn’t help but think again of his late wife.

If only she were still alive, he wouldn’t have to deal with these vexing matters.

He pointed to Gu Jiaojiao, who was hiding behind Song Yunuan, "Go apologize to Shu Xiang, and make sure it’s a sincere apology!"

Qin Suyun had also already come out of the kitchen.

It simply wouldn’t do to let Shu Xiang walk out of the Gu family’s house like this.

Wouldn’t people say this was bullying?

She quickly went to pull Shu Xiang.

This time Shu Xiang didn’t struggle.

She just lowered her head and wept there.

Gu Huaiming, in a fury, shouted at Gu Jiaojiao, "Hurry up and come over to apologize to the family of scholars, or else I’m not finished with you."

Gu Jiaojiao wanted to cry too, she had already apologized.

Song Yunuan pulled out Gu Jiaojiao, who was hiding behind her, but for a moment, she really didn’t know what to say.

She couldn’t get involved in this.

It would be wrong no matter what.

You might say that even honest officials find it hard to settle domestic disputes.

Gu Huai’an’s brows furrowed slightly, it was not so much that he was angry, but rather, he was displeased.

Gu Jiaojiao looked to Song Yunuan for help and actually asked her, "Sister Little Nuan, I... I’ve already apologized, but she won’t forgive me, what should I say to make her not angry?"

Song Yunuan: ...

I don’t know either.

The disputes and quarrels between girls are the hardest to clarify and resolve.

A few words of apology won’t fix things.

Clearly, Shu Xiang truly hated Gu Jiaojiao.

And Gu Jiaojiao, looking down on Shu Xiang, wasn’t apologizing sincerely.

So they were at an impasse.

Gu Jiaojiao dragged her feet, knowing too that talking to Song Yunuan was of no use.

Sister Little Nuan had just arrived today and still didn’t know what was going on.

She glared fiercely at the crying Shu Xiang and reluctantly started to walk over.

But it was at this moment that Song Yunuan saw several visions.

Her heart sank at that moment.

And she finally realized that the scenes she was seeing now were no longer related to the original plot of the story.

But this trigger-activated ability was still present.

And everything she saw was bound to happen in the future.

Like with Wei Qingmei, anything related to her, anything dangerous, would trigger a vision.

Only, the triggered scenes didn’t include her own image.

It happened with Wei Qingmei, and now again.

It wasn’t clear whether this was good or bad.

After all, if it was avoided here, would fate find another way to catch up?

But having triggered the scenario and seen the future where, years later, Shu Xiang held a kitchen knife and repeatedly stabbed Gu Jiaojiao to death before leaping to her own death, seen Old Master Gu incapacitated, seen Gu Huaiming rush onto the road with his child, then both he and the child getting hit by a car.

Unluckily, the driver was her own elder brother.

This bizarre twist of fate.

She stepped forward and grabbed Gu Jiaojiao.

With that attitude, an apology would only stir up another argument, as this child had quite a sharp tongue.

She patted Gu Jiaojiao’s hand, her voice neither too loud nor too soft, "A verbal apology lacks sincerity, go write a reflective essay, at least three thousand words, right now, and I will check it first after you’re done."

Gu Jiaojiao: ...

Writing essays was the thing she hated most in her life.

Or you could say she particularly admired the great author Song Yunuan.

Using the same words, she could compose stories so captivating that you couldn’t stop reading, wishing you could forego food and sleep just to finish them.

Before she knew who Song Yunuan was, she had bought a few books written by her and read them over and over again.

Then, when the animated series Adventures of Little Stone came out, she fell insanely in love with it.

She even cut out promotional pictures from newspapers and movie posters and pasted them into her special scrapbook.
