Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 589: The Gu Family Is Too Bullying
Chapter 589: Chapter 589: The Gu Family Is Too Bullying
As long as Gu Huai’an and Song Yunuan don’t screw things up.
the Gu family will sail steadily on the tumultuous sea.
Her eldest son is named Gu Huaiming.
At the moment, he’s gone to pick up his girlfriend.
The younger son and two daughters sit foolishly on the sofa, waiting to play poker with Little Nuan, oblivious to the large jade bangle.
Song Yunuan glanced indifferently at Gu Huai’an’s cousin and two female cousins.
The youngest cousin is named Gu Jiaojiao.
She’s in her first year of high school this year.
Her academic performance... is a complete mess.
But she’s pretty.
She confidentially told Song Yunuan that she wants to be a movie actress.
She doesn’t like studying science.
Memorizing lines in the future will be enough.
She gets along closest with Song Yunuan and even wanted to ask if "Adventures of Little Stone" could have many episodes and if they could keep filming...
She also asked if Song Yunuan could tell her good friends that she is the creator of "Adventures of Little Stone."
Her eyes only had Song Yunuan in them, not the green jade bangle.
Song Yunuan accepted the jade bangle.
Old Master Gu and Gu Huai’an both breathed a sigh of relief.
It was at this moment that Gu Huaiming walked into the living room with his girlfriend Shu Xiang.
Shu Xiang also came from a family of officials, but she couldn’t compare to the Gu family.
As soon as Shu Xiang entered the room, she noticed Old Master Gu giving a beautiful girl a jade bangle.
Her heart skipped a beat.
No need to ask, this beautiful girl must be Gu Huai’an’s girlfriend.
Her name is Song Yunuan, visiting the Gu family for the first time.
But in fact, her name was not strange at all to the Gu family.
Every time Shu Xiang came, she was very nervous.
But she wasn’t stupid.
If she had been stupid, how could she become Gu Huaiming’s girlfriend and make him like her so much?
So she always acted with ease and composure, unhurried and unconcerned.
But this deliberate pretense was completely different from the natural calm and composure that radiated from Song Yunuan’s very core.
And then there was Gu Jiaojiao.
This high school student whose name suited her.
She had never been so enthusiastic about herself.
Sticking so close.
Almost glued together.
But towards her?
She wished she were eight feet away.
Shu Xiang didn’t want to care, but she could clearly see the distance in Gu Jiaojiao’s eyes.
She thought Gu Jiaojiao was that kind of girl.
After all, being born into the Gu family, it was normal for a girl to be a bit spoiled.
But now she realized that Gu Jiaojiao was not a spoiled girl at all. She smiled so sweetly, snuggling up to Song Yunuan like a little kitten.
It turned out to be selective.
Mother was right, people are indeed differentiated into classes.
Shu Xiang’s eyes suddenly reddened.
Then she carefully sat down on the sofa.
Old Master Gu glanced at Shu Xiang, who somehow had become upset, sighed inwardly, and a flash of displeasure crossed his brow.
From the first day she came, he actually didn’t like her very much.
But as an old man, he always stayed out of the young people’s affairs.
Apart from Huai’an, the other grandchildren were free to marry whoever they wanted to, as they pleased.
Shu Xiang’s family is just an ordinary family of officials.
But what of it?
If his eldest grandson likes her, that’s enough. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
The old master believed in good character and proper values, and he couldn’t care less about the rest.
He greeted her with a cheery smile, "Shu Xiang, come sit over here, this is Song Yunuan, you two should get to know each other."
Shu Xiang quickly responded, "Grandpa Gu, I’m fine sitting here."
Song Yunuan placed the jade bangle back into its box.
The box itself was also very valuable.
She put it all into her shoulder bag and then met Shu Xiang’s probing gaze.
She gave Shu Xiang a friendly smile.
However, Gu Jiaojiao turned around, hummed softly, and said with an unkind mouth, "How pretentious. Just sit over here when asked, why do you insist on sitting in the corner? It’s as if our Gu family has bullied you, looking all like a mistreated little wife."
Song Yunuan was shocked looking at Gu Jiaojiao who was firing off like a machine gun.
She had thought she was a docile little cutie.
But it turned out she was a fire-breathing dragon.
This child.
Had been thoroughly spoiled by her family.
Shu Xiang was already feeling a bit uneasy, and her heart was uncomfortable too; she could guess that the greenish bangle was a meeting gift from Old Master Gu to Song Yunuan.
But when she first came to the Gu family, aside from a meal and a red envelope, there was nothing else.
Old Master Gu did not speak to her with such a kind face as he did now.
Gu Jiaojiao had been sizing her up and down as if she were some sort of local agent.
Comparison, as they say, is the thief of joy.
Indeed, once comparisons are made, the differences become starkly apparent.
The Gu family, really was too oppressive.
Shu Xiang was also a girl in her early twenties.
She was the pampered child of her family as well.
How could she remain indifferent under such mockery and sarcasm from Gu Jiaojiao?
She had not yet acquired the ability to keep her emotions from showing on her face.
Her eyes, already red, were now streaming with uncontrollable tears.
She suddenly stood up.
Everyone had already been looking at her, and due to her abrupt movement, the room fell into a terrifying silence.
After saying her piece, Gu Jiaojiao regretted it, shrank her neck, stuck out her tongue, and actually hid behind Song Yunuan.
Gu Huaiming was also angry.
This sister of his, always so unrestrained with her tongue.
Not considering the occasion at all, speaking whatever came to mind.
Her family had indeed spoiled her beyond recognition.
He stood up, strode over to Gu Jiaojiao, pulled her out forcefully, and roared angrily, "Apologize to Shu Xiang, apologize right now, immediately!"
Gu Huai’an’s brow furrowed.
He moved forward to push Gu Huaiming away.
Gu Jiaojiao, who had been yelled at, cried out with a ’wa’.
However, seeing Grandpa Gu’s stern gaze, Gu Jiaojiao’s crying abruptly stopped.
She realized she had probably caused trouble.
She shouldn’t have spoken about Shu Xiang at that time.
But she really hadn’t thought that much about it.
Wiping away her tears, her muffled voice said to Shu Xiang, who stood there clenching her hands, tears streaming down her face, "I’m sorry, I... I... I shouldn’t have been so unrestrained. Don’t be angry at me."
Gu Huaiming went to pull Shu Xiang, pleadingly saying, "Shu Xiang, don’t be angry, my sister is still a child, don’t take her words to heart."
Shu Xiang took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Through her blurry vision, this place seemed like another world.
She shook off Gu Huaiming’s hand, her voice filled with sorrow, "Gu Huaiming, I should not have come today. I come from a humble background, I have no resources or power, I truly am not suited for you, we are from different worlds, let’s break up, let’s pretend we never knew each other."
Having said that, she picked up her bag, nodded towards Old Master Gu, who had been silent all this while, and then, with tears streaming down her face, walked out.
Song Yunuan: ...
What a mess this has become.
Her first visit to the Gu family’s house and it ended in a breakup?
Was it because of Lin Qing, or were there underlying issues?
Second Aunt Gu and Qin Suyun were both busy in the kitchen and naturally heard that something was amiss in the living room.
Second Aunt Gu was still holding a bunch of vegetables, hurriedly making her way out.
Then she saw Shu Xiang rushing out of the living room, her face covered in tears.
And behind her, her eldest son Gu Huaiming chasing after her with a look of urgent distress...
