Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 362: Fell into the Water Because of Guilt (2)

Hmph, it’s not your family’s matter, you speak so lightly!

Upon hearing this, Su Aiping couldn’t help but sneer inwardly, her heart full of disdain!

But after all, she’s a person good at disguising, having pretended for decades, how could she easily slip up?

With a slight bitter smile, Su Aiping turned her head to look into the distance, somewhat wistfully saying, "I’m not young anymore, my health isn’t that good either, how can I think of going wherever I want?"

"Ah, I hope Shaolei can get married and have children soon. Once there are kids, the house will be lively." Song Jialing said.

"I hope so." Su Aiping suddenly lowered her eyes, the melancholic emotion still lingering.

Upon seeing this, Song Jialing also felt rather uncomfortable.

Though the Mu Family has been in business for generations, with large-scale operations, their population isn’t thriving. In Mu Bai’s father’s generation, there are only two brothers. The late elderly master was the only child of the family, so with few family members, their relationships are valued deeply. Ever since, Mr. Mu’s relationship with his younger brother Mu Hongwen has been quite good. Despite their separate ventures, they’ve supported each other for decades without any disputes. And their strong brotherly bond naturally made Song Jialing and Su Aiping’s sister-in-law relationship quite harmonious.

Despite Song Jialing’s family background not being as good as Su Aiping’s, there have been few comparisons or intrigue between them. They’re like sisters, sharing good things and doing enjoyable activities together. Even though they have been living separately for a long time, they still frequently interact, maintaining a deep and consistent bond.

Compared to Su Aiping, Song Jialing has always felt somewhat fortunate. Though she comes from humble origins, she and Mu Hongbo fell in love freely. Despite facing parental opposition due to their disparity, their love was strong; they overcame many difficulties together, eventually gaining their parents’ approval, establishing their own family, and having their own child.

But Su Aiping was different. Her marriage to Mu Hongwen was decided by their elders, based on interests, hence there was less emotional foundation, and with both being proud and stubborn, living together naturally led to many conflicts...

In short, their marriage looked blissful from outsiders’ perspective, but those knowing the real situation were aware of their mutual hardships.

What do women pursue in life? Nothing but solid love, a happy family, and one or more lovely children. Yet, Su Aiping had none of these; she only had a glamorous appearance, like a splendid shell. In reality, many things that others envy about her were merely others’ imaginations. So, Song Jialing always felt pity for her and consistently took care of her.

"If you have free time, come over to my place often, hold our Little King Kong more often, and get a taste of being a grandmother ahead of time." Song Jialing said with a smile, trying to cheer up Su Aiping.

Who cares!

It’s just a child! What’s there to show off!

Song Jialing’s kindness wasn’t appreciated by Su Aiping, whose mind was full of dark thoughts unknown to Song Jialing.

"Alright." Su Aiping agreed gladly, truly seeming very happy.

Seeing the smile return to Su Aiping’s face, Song Jialing felt somewhat relieved, and said while walking, "I went to the aquarium yesterday and bought some goldfish. Didn’t you say last time that you liked the little black fish in the pond? I’ll ask someone to catch it and take it home with you when you leave."

"No way! That little black fish is your longest and most favorite pet. How could I take it home?" Su Aiping immediately refused, her face firm. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"It’s okay. Fish are kept for viewing. It doesn’t matter where they are as long as someone appreciates them."

"That’s true, but after all, you have feelings for the little black fish, just like a pet dog in a family. You would always miss it if not seen for long." Su Aiping said.

"I bought another one that’s almost the same. Just take it away." Song Jialing generously said.

"Then I’ll take the newly bought one." Su Aiping said with a smile, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. She walked to the pond and pretended to ask curiously, "Which ones are your newly bought ones?"

"These over here." Song Jialing pointed to her right hand side, saying happily, "As they were newly bought, Hongbo was worried they wouldn’t adapt to the new environment and get bullied by the original fish. So he especially pulled a fishing net and divided the pond into two halves, saying he’ll remove the net after they adapt over time."

"Big brother is really meticulous and considerate." Su Aiping couldn’t help but envy.

"He’s alright. Now most of the company matters are handed over to the kids. Sometimes he stays at home with nothing to do, so he loves to busy himself mysteriously."

Unconsciously, Song Jialing spoke with a face full of sweetness, yet she didn’t notice the jealousy and resentment overflowing in Su Aiping’s heart after hearing her words.

She did it on purpose, certainly on purpose!

She intentionally spoke those words to her, deliberately showing off her happy and harmonious family, with a loving husband, subtly mocking her cold family and lack of affection!

Su Aiping squatted by the pond, reaching out to brush the water surface, scaring off several goldfish nearby.

"Big brother always loves his family and cares about his wife. He’s the best man among good men, sister-in-law, you should be satisfied!" Suppressing her jealousy, Su Aiping looked at the colorful goldfish in the pond and said with added emphasis.

"Haha, I am satisfied. Marrying him was the wisest choice of my life." Song Jialing said happily.

"Pity I didn’t have a choice."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Song Jialing’s face suddenly froze, quickly changing the subject, "Aiping, look over there, the black fish, doesn’t it look like the little black fish?"

"It does look alike, but it’s not the same fish." Su Aiping said with low spirits.

"Don’t think too much. You’ll grow fond of it over time." Song Jialing comforted.

Really?

Grow fond over time?

Many years ago, Song Jialing said the same words to her, and she herself agreed at that time. But over the years, she found herself increasingly foolish back then. She hated, hated Song Jialing, hated the Song Family, hated everything and everyone causing her pain and suffering!

Suddenly, Su Aiping’s expression changed. She continued to look at the leisurely swimming fish, but suddenly, they all transformed into faces of people she loathed. Unconsciously, her expression turned ferocious, her gaze mixed with resentment. At this moment, if Song Jialing looked at the water surface in front of Su Aiping, she would see a strange and terrifying woman and be shocked!

Unfortunately, she was joyfully admiring the goldfish just bought yesterday, unaware of Su Aiping’s odd behavior.
