Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1046: Step by Step, Frightening (2)
It seems that now Old Lady Xiao is easier to deal with. No, actually, as Old Lady Xiao herself said, she never really had much autonomy in the Xiao Family. Old Lady Xiao is not the type to put on a show in public.
Women who are skilled at handling things usually don’t act overly dominant in public. They always give their men face, whether it’s their husband or their sons.
Old Lady Xiao is a woman who knows how to handle situations well, and because of this, she receives great respect from her son.
The one who is truly difficult to deal with has always been that old crocodile.
Gu Nuan said calmly, "If it were me, and my son and daughter-in-law wanted to go back and live in that home, they could, but I wouldn’t go back."
Zhong Qiaohui was startled by her words, but upon careful reflection, she realized there was nothing wrong with them. The old crocodile Wang is someone who cares about saving face.
There’s nothing wrong with elders wanting to save face, right?
However, Gu Nuan had no intention of going back just to please her father-in-law. After all, in this matter, she hadn’t done anything wrong. If anyone was wrong, it was her father-in-law, who owed her and her husband an apology.
Just because you’re younger, doesn’t mean you have to swallow this grievance. There’s no benefit in this; it only leads the elderly further down the wrong path, and causes family members to harbor their own resentments. On the surface, it seems like everything is fine, but deep down, everyone holds a grudge, making reconciliation impossible for a lifetime.
Gu Nuan understood this, because the Gu Family was exactly in that situation.
Her father and a group of siblings, out of respect for the two elders, never dared to say anything negative to them. As a result, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu became more and more unscrupulous, even neglecting basic human decency.
As children, one must not practice blind filial piety.
Because of her husband’s special situation, Gu Nuan arranged for a private chartered plane locally. In the cabin of the plane, it was basically just her and her husband.
He lay quietly sleeping on the bed, and she sat beside him, occasionally picking up a book, reading for a while, then looking at him, feeling that days like these weren’t necessarily unbearable.
Time never passes as painfully as one might imagine. She believed this because, on the day she separated from Gu Sheng, she pessimistically thought it was a separation as distant as the ends of the earth. However, when they reunited, it was not a distance across the ends of the earth, but rather, close at hand. The time had flown by, almost twenty years in a blink of an eye.
Is love just a momentary passion? Many people often say so.
Perhaps it is. Now, as she quietly watched him sleep peacefully, time passed by quickly. When both of them eventually left this world, wouldn’t it be the same? A lifetime would feel like a fleeting few seconds in retrospect.
A lifetime of love is but a momentary passion.
Gu Nuan let out a gentle breath as she watched Tang Sili enter and measure the blood pressure of the sleeping man.
Seeing this person in front of her always made her quickly think of another person.
Raising his head and sensing the confusion in her gaze, Tang Sili seemed to guess what she was thinking and said, "The injury on his head is quite serious."
Gu Nuan’s brow furrowed.
She hadn’t asked before because she thought, with Tang Sili present that day, and knowing that Ou Chunhua couldn’t possibly let her son die, there surely wouldn’t be any danger. But hearing Tang Sili now, that day, Ou Chunhua was simply not human, not acting like any mother, actually beating him almost to death.
Isn’t he her own son?
Why?
Gu Nuan seemed to have a trace of doubt rising in her heart.
Tang Sili, looking at Gu Nuan’s expression, found it all a bit strange.
