Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 615: The Talent for Courting Disaster
Chapter 615: Chapter 615: The Talent for Courting Disaster
Everything happened too fast.
Gu Huaiming’s head was buzzing too.
Old Master Gu turned around in anger.
But just then, he saw Shu Xiang about to hit Gu Jiaojiao.
Gu Huai’an picked up Gu Huaiming and pushed him toward the door.
Song Yunuan also frowned.
Gu Jiaojiao had a real knack for causing trouble.
In the unfolding scene, Shu Xiang’s hatred seemed to overflow.
She moved quickly and, just as Shu Xiang was about to hit Gu Jiaojiao, grabbed Gu Jiaojiao, who was glaring and baring her teeth in retaliation, by the collar and yanked her aside.
Song Yunuan said to Shu Xiang, "You can curse, but you can’t resort to violence."
Shu Xiang’s eyes were tearful and her body trembled; she shouted, "Song Yunuan, tell me what I did wrong, why does Gu Jiaojiao deserve to treat me like this?"
Song Yunuan: ...
I have nothing to say to that.
This time, Gu Huai’an was truly angered.
Gu Huaiming, forcefully pushed by him, just managed to steady his footing.
Gu Huai’an said to Gu Huaiming coldly, "Take her away first, return after you’ve calmed down!"
Gu Huaiming hadn’t expected that things, which had been fine just moments ago, could suddenly turn into such a situation.
He glanced nervously at Gu Huai’an.
Gu Huai’an’s lips were pressed tightly together and he remained silent, as Huaiming led Shu Xiang out.
Perhaps it was the first time Shu Xiang saw Gu Huai’an with such a stern expression. She didn’t react at first, offered no struggle or resistance, nor did she scream. She just let Huaiming lead her out of the house.
Wang Mengdan was also livid, her face ashen as she looked from one person to another.
She scolded Gu Jiaojiao, "...you...you little wretch, what nonsense are you spouting here? If you keep silent, no one will treat you as a mute!"
But she was also angry at Shu Xiang, who’d cursed so viciously. With her words, she’d offended everyone in the room, even wishing her daughter’s death.
Wang Mengdan felt darkness before her eyes. She had already met with the Shu family, and couldn’t deny that Mother Shu was a sensible person, carrying an air of scholarly grace. Having such in-laws was truly desirable.
It was said that Mother Shu was the kind that was loved by students far and wide.
The two families had gotten along well, and the Shu family had no objections to the wedding and the arrangements.
That was going smoothly.
But then this unexpected event occurred. Could the wedding still happen?
No, it couldn’t; they were now enemies.
But even if they didn’t break it off, how were they to live in the future?
Qin Suyun only looked at Song Yunuan.
The Gu family might as well split up.
Let the second son’s family mess around as they please; out of sight, out of mind.
Little Nuan had done her utmost. She had neither the right nor the obligation to deal with their mess.
And Jiaojiao, how could she be so unruly?
Where was her brain?
All that needed to be said had been said, and she had been taught what needed to be taught. She was preoccupied with studying, dangling after Little Nuan’s carrot, thinking she was living a peaceful life, but in reality, she wasn’t.
She had the talent for stirring up trouble, but not for smoothing things over.
She needed to tell Little Nuan to keep her distance from Gu Jiaojiao in the future.
Gu Huai’an, holding the car keys, said to Old Master Gu, "Every time there’s an issue, it comes back to my Little Nuan. What’s the meaning of this? I’d like to hear your analysis..."
Old Master Gu: ...
What analysis can I give? Both major disputes were stumbled upon by Little Nuan.
What can I say?
If it were boys fighting, one slap each and they’d be set straight. At worst, they’d be sent to the north district for a three to five-year stint, and they’d all be too scared to step out of line.
But these are two girls, one an underage granddaughter and the other a future granddaughter-in-law.
He couldn’t be hit, scolded, or even spoken to.
Yes, he was the head of the family, so how could he speak?
If he went to scold Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao would probably target Shu Xiang even more, and if he spoke to Shu Xiang? He wasn’t so devoid of discernment as to blindly defend her.
Gu Huai’an hadn’t expected to hear his grandfather’s reply.
He then looked towards his uncle’s iron-blue face and said, "Jiaojiao isn’t just spoiled without reason, she meddles in her older brother’s private matters based solely on her own likes and dislikes, which can no longer be described as mindless. This is a mouth that courts disaster..."
Gu Huai’an seldom spoke.
But as soon as he did, silence fell upon the living room instantly.
Everyone could feel that Gu Huai’an was very unhappy.
Actually, most of the time, Gu Huai’an’s emotions were very stable.
Mainly because he seldom commented on domestic affairs.
Old Master Gu’s face became even darker, wishing he could give Gu Jiaojiao a severe beating.
But she was a girl, and he dared not hit her.
He could understand Shu Xiang’s grievances this time.
But in reality, when it came to speaking without thinking, the two of them were much of a muchness, neither was better than the other.
But whom could he blame?
He couldn’t blame someone else’s child; today, it was his own child who had no manners.
Old Master Gu had been a capable man all his life, but faced with such a situation, he didn’t know how to resolve it perfectly.
Having been spoken to by Gu Huai’an, Gu Jiaojiao seemed to have come to her senses somewhat, and then glanced uneasily at her parents’ iron-blue faces, then at her grandfather who was frowning and seemingly lost in thought.
She immediately turned her pleading eyes towards Song Yunuan.
Song Yunuan, equally with a calm expression, looked back at her.
Wondering what kind of character Gu Jiaojiao was written as in the book.
And a heaviness settled in Gu Jiaojiao’s heart.
She shrank back a little, trying to avoid Song Yunuan’s somewhat cold gaze.
It seemed like the first time she had seen such a Song Yunuan.
At that moment, Gu Huaiming had already taken Shu Xiang out of the living room. Where had they gone? No one knew. Did they continue arguing? That was still unknown.
Gu Huai’an picked up the car keys and stepped forward to tell Song Yunuan, "Let’s go."
Song Yunuan raised her eyebrows, seemingly asking casually, "Where to?"
Gu Huai’an just glanced at Song Yunuan and immediately stepped back.
Using a voice soft and obedient, he said, "Okay, as you wish."

What is this about?
Instinctively, everyone in the living room fell silent for a moment.
Qin Suyun watched her suddenly submissive son with some discomfort in her heart, her son who was so powerful, excellent, and full of promise that he shone brightly. He, too, had a docile side?
That was indeed very odd.
Though uncomfortable, her curiosity outweighed it.
Curious about what Little Nuan was going to do.
She had only heard about many things concerning Little Nuan but had never seen them with her own eyes.
But before she could continue pondering, Song Yunuan had already turned to face Gu Jiaojiao, who was standing behind her.
Even with a smile on her face, Song Yunuan asked Gu Jiaojiao with great curiosity, "Gu Jiaojiao, can you tell me why you chose to provoke Shu Xiang when I came to the Gu family?"
Gu Jiaojiao initially didn’t understand, but instinctively shook her head, rambling, "Sister Little Nuan, I... I have no issues with you, I’m not targeting you."
Song Yunuan uttered an "oh" and said, "So you have a problem with Shu Xiang, you’re targeting Shu Xiang, then let me ask by the way, what is it about Shu Xiang that you don’t like?"
Gu Jiaojiao immediately replied, "She’s petty, she’s landed a great advantage. But she acts as though my brother has to coax and beg her.
Why should he?
And my brother used to be so nice to me, but ever since she became my brother’s girlfriend, he doesn’t dote on me anymore, and whenever Shu Xiang and I have a dispute, he always says I’m the one at fault, and never criticizes her."
