Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 595: Your Tears Aren’t Worth Anything

Gu Huaiming’s complexion changed completely.

"Shu Xiang, you know very well how I treat you, so don’t keep threatening me with a breakup."

Shu Xiang cried even harder.

She then ran out.

There weren’t many people in the Gu family today, so naturally, no one came out to stop her.

But after hesitating for a few minutes, Gu Huaiming stamped his foot and, in a huff, ran after Shu Xiang.

What he didn’t expect was that Shu Xiang, with her blurred vision from tears, didn’t see the road clearly and got hit by a car.

Song Yunuan did not get this news from Old Master Gu.

It was Gu Jiaojiao who called her and told her about it.

Gu Jiaojiao, sobbing, told her the whole story.

Song Yunuan rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache.

Had she not known that Gu Jiaojiao was innocent and naive, anyone more cunning might have suspected that it had something to do with themselves.

Luckily, the car wasn’t going fast and managed to swerve in time. Shu Xiang only got a scrape on her elbow, and when she fell to the ground, she injured it a bit more. Her right hand was put in a cast, but after examination, there were no other issues.

It was a blessing in disguise.

When Song Yunuan arrived at the hospital, Mother Shu was also there.

Of course, Mother Shu was overjoyed that her daughter was dating someone like Gu Huaiming.

But the unfriendliness of Gu Huaiming’s sister toward her daughter was very troubling.

Song Yunuan put down the things she was carrying and inquired with concern.

She pretended not to see the indifferent look on Shu Xiang’s face.

She directly said to Mother Shu, "If you trust me, Auntie, I’d like to take Sister Shu Xiang to my Second Grandpa’s house..."

Mother Shu knew who Song Yunuan’s Second Grandpa was and was elated to hear this. Actually, it wasn’t necessary to stay at the hospital anymore; continuing recovery at home would be fine.

But having Old Master Ji take a look at her was the best option. Even though it was only the elbow, a bad recovery from a fracture could affect a lot for the future.

Shu Xiang did not object either.

Yet, seeing Song Yunuan always made her feel uneasy inside.

As the girlfriend of a Gu family son, the difference between her and Song Yunuan was like heaven and earth.

She could feel that everyone in that family seemed to like Song Yunuan.

As for her, it seemed like no one did.

The thought alone was unbearably distressing.

The jealousy was real.

Song Yunuan glanced at Shu Xiang’s eyes and thought she might have contributed Jealousy Points to Lin Qing’s ridiculous system again.

This didn’t particularly concern her.

She would block any soldier that came, cover any water that rose.

If aliens arrived, she would think of something when the time came.

If it weren’t for Lin Qing’s pregnancy, she would have been able to destroy whatever was in Lin Qing’s head that day by herself.

She’ll just have to wait until after Lin Qing gives birth.

Such a short wait, she could manage it.

On the way, Song Yunuan casually asked Shu Xiang, "Jiaojiao called me, she said that the wallet your sister-in-law embroidered is very pretty, where is it? Let me see..."

The driver was Gu Huaiming, and the three of them were seated in the back.

Mother Shu was delighted to hear this.

At the very least, the wife of the future head of the Gu family wasn’t difficult to get along with, and this young girl was much better than her own daughter—not only sweet-talking and capable, but also very generous and straightforward.

Shu Xiang pointed to her shoulder bag with a muffled voice, "It has always been in the bag, I haven’t had the chance to take it out yet."

Mother Shu hurriedly opened the bag and took out the wallet. Song Yunuan received it with a smile all over her face, and while praising how beautiful the wallet was made, she thanked her and then asked where Song Yunuan’s sister-in-law worked.

Upon hearing that it was in the embroidery group of a textile factory, and that Sister-in-law Shu’s family was from the south and also from a family of embroidery artisans,

she lavished praise upon them, mentioning that her own family’s factory also specialized in embroidery, originally managed by her grandmother. But now as her grandmother had grown older and her eyesight wasn’t great, the responsibility had all been passed on to the county’s clothing factory.

However, when the clothing factory became too busy, they hired a group of women from nearby villages who could do embroidery...

Unconsciously, the slightly tense atmosphere had relaxed, and they arrived at the entrance to Old Master Ji’s house in Wutong District.

After an examination, Old Master Ji told Mother Shu to just rest well. He asked about the current medication, which were all up-to-date with good anti-inflammatory effects.

The old doctor said, "It’s okay to take them for a week, then stop the medication. I have some prepared medicine pills here; taking them for half a month should be sufficient, but you must be careful not to exert yourself or bump into anything..."

After seeing the doctor, Mother Shu was also reassured.

She thanked him profusely and left. Song Yunuan glanced at Shu Xiang’s mother, noting that she certainly knew how to behave.

Unlike Shu Xiang, who was a bit too delicate-hearted.

Gu Jiaojiao is Gu Huaiming’s sister, but that was only one of the reasons.

Such a character was no different in everyday life.

After returning home, Mother Shu gave Shu Xiang a good talking to, urging her to learn how to handle interpersonal relations from Song Yunuan.

But Shu Xiang coldly said, "Mom, this world is the cruelest and most realistic. When you excel, you are surrounded by good people."

Mother Shu got annoyed yet amused, "What exactly are you trying to say? Are you implying that you’re not excellent or that your father and I haven’t provided you with a better life?"

She pointed at Shu Xiang and continued, "Don’t be too sensitive, nor so fragile. Why are your tears so cheap? You actually cried in front of Old Master Gu?

Old people dislike such weeping, and Old Master Gu is no different.

If you can’t get along with Jiaojiao, it’s not all on Jiaojiao. You should also look for faults within yourself.

Shu Xiang, the Gu family is someone we couldn’t even dream of affiliating with in the past, but our family doesn’t sell our daughter for glory. If you don’t like it, we wouldn’t force you to change. But Gu Huai’an is really a good kid, you like him and he likes you too. Even if it’s just for Huai’an, to prevent him from being caught in the middle and troubled, can’t you get along well with Jiaojiao?"

However, Shu Xiang suddenly said, "Mom, I also want to get along with her, but I just can’t help despising her deep down inside, perhaps we were sworn enemies in a past life."

She went on, "You don’t understand, Mom. They in the Gu family have never been impartial. Old Master Gu gave nothing to me, but he gave Song Yunuan a jade bangle. Even if Huai’an is capable, isn’t Huaiming his grandson too?

I’ve endured such favoritism. I even thought about trying to please Jiaojiao, but she doesn’t give me a chance. Let it be, whatever..."

From a daughter’s position, hearing these words, Mother Shu was unhappy as well.

The Gu family wouldn’t miss one bangle; even if they gave a lesser quality one, wouldn’t it have spared her daughter’s feelings?

It was clear they were treating people differently.

But in front of her daughter, she couldn’t express anything, otherwise, it would just add fuel to the fire.

And yet, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

She said, "According to tradition, Huai’an is Old Master Gu’s heir, so his girlfriend naturally isn’t treated the same as the other grandsons’ girlfriends. You can’t compare yourself like that. Ten fingers when stretched out aren’t all the same length. If you want to be with Huaiming, you can’t dwell on this..."
