Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 562 - 564: Resentment

If feelings could really be so rational, so controlled, to be withdrawn as said, then there wouldn’t be so many unhappy couples in the world.

On the first day of the new year, Feiteng didn’t come back, and when he returned on the second day, he fell ill, giving the family a huge scare.

Watching her son like this, Xia Xiao felt terribly heartbroken.

And that day, both Gao Chunfang and Gao Lifang’s families came back to their maternal home, and the lively Gao family was somewhat affected by Feiteng’s illness.

Feiling brought the bitter traditional medicine to Feiteng and said, "Little brother, time for your medicine."

As soon as Feiteng saw the bowl of medicine in Feiling’s hands, his face soured, "I’m all better, no need for medicine."

"What do you mean better? You fainted as soon as you came back, you scared everyone. What exactly did you do? You had a fever of 40 degrees and you didn’t go to the hospital but drove back instead. You’re really something, what if something had happened? Mom and Dad were furious, if it weren’t for the fact that you were sick, not only Dad but also your older brothers and third brother would have given you a good thrashing."

Feiling glared at Feiteng, not to mention the reaction of the family, she was scared too.

"Little sis, I have fever medicine in my car, can you let me take Western medicine? Who still uses traditional medicine for a fever these days?" Feiteng wailed inwardly.

"No way, grandma and mom said that good medicine tastes bitter, you need to drink more to get better, hurry up, don’t even think about throwing it away, grandma made a whole pot."

As soon as Feiling finished speaking, Feiteng, like a brave man, took the soup medicine from Feiling’s hands and gulped it down, his face crumpling up.

Zheng Xianghong and Xia Xiao were indeed furious, angry that Feiteng was so careless with his health, having a fever of forty degrees and not visiting the hospital, what if something happened on the road.

Therefore, the traditional medicine Feiteng drank was incredibly bitter, and this was even Xia Xiao’s request for Zheng Xianghong to make the medicine even more bitter, to teach Feiteng a lesson.

After finishing the medicine, Feiling sat by his side and asked, "What exactly happened, you don’t want to talk about it?"

"What is there to talk about." Feiteng shook his head, "It’s just my own stupidity."

"Hmm, what happened, we’re twins, we have a special connection, when you’re upset, it hurts me too." Feiling looked at Feiteng, "If you don’t want to share your troubles with me, then I won’t share mine with you later."

With that threat, Feiteng said, "Really, it’s nothing, just rekindled old feelings with my first love, and I got dumped."

"It’s not your fault, it’s normal for you to lack experience in your first relationship, little brother, you’re wonderful, the next one will definitely be better." Feiling consoled.

"Do you know who her first love was?" Feiteng said.

"Who?" Feiling looked at Feiteng.

"A person from the Jing family."

As soon as Feiteng said this, Feiling was surprised for a moment, then laughed, "This world is really small."

"Isn’t it? It just happens to be Jing Yao’s elder brother."

Feiling didn’t know what to say anymore, she said, "I’ve long had nothing to do with Jing Yao."

On that note, Feiling said, "This kind of woman, who moves on to another relationship while still mounted on her donkey, you should feel lucky you didn’t marry her, she’s not worth your kindness."

"Yeah, I went to see her once and I gave up." Feiteng felt this lesson was enough.

Feiteng was drowsy from the medication, and Feiling left the room with the medicine bowl. Xia Xiao was already waving at Feiling.

"Mom, little brother is fine." Feiling felt that indeed, being twins, they shared the same fate—they both did not have it as easy as their older brothers.

Xia Xiao did not ask further, hearing from Feiling that Feiteng was alright, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Feiteng recovered quickly, and by the next afternoon, he was lively again and no longer brought up matters of the heart.

Nevertheless, Feiteng was still severely scolded by Feiyang and Feiyue, and even Feiyi joined in; their father Gao Jiaxing didn’t need to lift a finger. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

On the second day of the New Year, Weilin, Ge Liang, Xia Lin, and Fang Yuan all came over.

Knowing that Feiteng had suffered from a broken heart, they all comforted him, promising to introduce him to someone better in the future.

Before the New Year, Ge Liang had already sent Liu Haihua to the psychiatric hospital. Rather than allowing Liu Haihua to keep wandering around Nanhua Mountain, it was better to send her to the hospital out of sight, out of mind.

Liu Haihua’s madness led her to continuously seek out her son on Nanhua Mountain, which did not provoke the slightest emotion in Ge Liang, who actually disliked her visiting there.

He did not want anyone to know that he had once lived on Nanhua Mountain.

As for Liu Haihua, it was too late to seek the son she abandoned on Nanhua Mountain only after she went mad.

On the third day of the New Year, Feiyi left early.

In the morning, Xia Xiao, Gao Jiaxing, Feiling, Gao Jiazhi and his family, Weilin, Ge Liang, Xia Lin, and Fang Yuan went with Feiteng to the zoo. By the afternoon, Gao Jiazhi and his family along with Weilin, Ge Liang, Xia Lin, and Fang Yuan had left one after another.

Zhao Jianjun with his wife Chen Juan, as well as Li Aiguo with his wife Lin Xiang, came to pay a New Year visit. Although Xia Xiao was surprised, she warmly welcomed them.

Having not seen Chen Juan for a long time, they had much to talk about. Lin Xiang didn’t say much, but when Chen Juan went to the restroom, she sarcastically remarked to Xia Xiao, "You must be laughing at me inside."

"You’re overthinking it," replied Xia Xiao.

"You know whether I am overthinking," retorted Lin Xiang.

As soon as Lin Xiang finished speaking, Xia Xiao looked at her and asked, "Why do you think I would laugh at you? Do you feel unsatisfied with your life?"

Lin Xiang was momentarily speechless, but she then asked Xia Xiao, "Don’t you know why I married Li Aiguo?"

"Why?" Xia Xiao was also curious and naturally asked, because, knowing Lin Xiang’s standards, she wouldn’t normally consider Li Aiguo. Although there was one night between them, Lin Xiang choosing Li Aiguo seemed impossible. Moreover, Lin Xiang had many choices but ended up marrying Li Aiguo, which Xia Xiao found frankly surprising.

"Your cousin-in-law, Mu Xingzhi, she found Li Aiguo and me together. We hadn’t done anything, but your cousin-in-law misunderstood."

Once Lin Xiang finished, Xia Xiao said, "It wasn’t a misunderstanding. My cousin-in-law wouldn’t falsely accuse someone. Besides, it’s not like you haven’t been interested in my man before. Can you deny it?"

She knew that no one else knew about the night Li Aiguo spent with Lin Xiang. Not even Mu Xingzhi could have known.

Having said this, Xia Xiao paused, looked at Lin Xiang, realizing maybe it wasn’t just for one night.

Hearing Xia Xiao’s words, Lin Xiang paused briefly without denying it. Unable to guess Xia Xiao’s thoughts, she said, "My relationship with Li Aiguo is innocent. It was just a misunderstanding, but your cousin-in-law insisted there was a problem and forced me to transfer."

At this point, Lin Xiang harbored some resentment toward Mu Xingzhi.
