Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 687 - 690: I Don’t Even Know What to Say About This Looking Back
When Xia Xiao left the hospital, it was Gao Jiaxing who came to pick her up, while Weilin stayed at the hospital to take care of Sun Yuhua.
"Sun Yuhua is full of regret and self-blame," Xia Xiao said to Gao Jiaxing while sitting in the car.
"It’s all in the past." Gao Jiaxing could say nothing more and did not pass judgment on Sun Yuhua.
Xia Xiao didn’t say anything further. Gao Jiaxing squeezed her hand and said, "People who are pitiable often have detestable qualities. I’ve always been indifferent toward Sun Yuhua. Although she now evokes sympathy, she also does not invite resentment. However, the person she used to be was quite annoying."
"She realized it too late," Xia Xiao also knew the old Sun Yuhua, who thought she was the most beautiful, even showing some princess-like symptoms, being overly clean, picky, and petty, always finding faults in others during interactions.
But these were not the problems, after all, everyone has some minor flaws and bad habits, and people differ, what you consider a good habit might be seen as a bad one by others.
Sun Yuhua’s biggest mistake was aborting that child and then putting on a play that tormented her family. After it was exposed, she still caused trouble.
At that time, Sun Yuhua was too eager to return to the city, unwilling to stay in the countryside, overly fixated and neglectful of her family and her husband’s feelings, leading to irreparable mistakes.
"It was just a matter of time; her heart was not with our family, and she never really considered us her family. Not to mention the two of us and mom and dad, even my elder brother, Sun Yuhua never truly cared for him. Otherwise, when my brother arrived at her parents’ doorstep, she wouldn’t have chosen her parents and disregarded my brother."
Gao Jiaxing harbored deep feelings about this matter, resulting in an extremely poor impression of Sun Yuhua; he even disliked her at that time.
If possible, Gao Jiaxing had wanted to impulsively tell his brother to leave Sun Yuhua, but he didn’t, considering Gao Jiazhi’s deep feelings for her.
His brother, though not the most outstanding, wasn’t bad either, and his feelings for Sun Yuhua were genuine, but Sun Yuhua repeatedly hurt him severely.
Whether in the past or now, Gao Jiaxing did not like Sun Yuhua.
However, there was no question of forgiving or not, since Sun Yuhua was no longer his sister-in-law and had no relation to his brother.
If not for his niece Weilin, Gao Jiaxing wouldn’t have wanted Xia Xiao to visit Sun Yuhua, and he thought it unnecessary.
Gao Jiaxing also remembered that Sun Yuhua had targeted Xia Xiao in the past and had even considered adopting Feiteng, which displeased him.
Xia Xiao was not one to hold grudges about the past, but it was all behind them now, and seeing Sun Yuhua in her current state made her feel somewhat pitiful.
Yet equally, Xia Xiao could not feel sympathy for Sun Yuhua, as in two lifetimes, Sun Yuhua made the same choices and separated from Gao Jiazhi, so she was not worthy of sympathy.
Moreover, Sun Yuhua and Gao Jiazhi were fated but not destined.
Suddenly, Xia Xiao exclaimed.
Gao Jiaxing asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Over there, that’s where I had my accident," Xia Xiao pointed straight ahead.
Upon hearing this, Gao Jiaxing’s expression changed instantly, and he directed the driver, "Turn around, take another route."
Xia Xiao was speechless, "Is it that exaggerated?"
Gao Jiaxing ignored Xia Xiao, simply feeling that Xia Xiao should not pass through the place where she had her accident; he did not want her to relive that past trauma.
Watching Gao Jiaxing’s nervous demeanor, Xia Xiao silently laughed.
She had lived such a happy life this time around that having or not having another life didn’t matter anymore.
Thus, Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing left, returning to Gao Jiazhi’s place. Weihuai had already come back with his wife and children.
His daughter-in-law was pregnant again, and Li Xiaoting was overjoyed, bustling about the kitchen making delicious food for her.
Yu Shijie and Yang Xuehua had also come over, and Xue Baozhu had passed away a few years ago. Yu Shijie was Xue Baozhu’s stepson, while Gao Jiazhi was her biological son.
After Xue Baozhu passed away, Gao Jiazhi had attended her funeral; he had never called Xue Baozhu ’mom’ nor acknowledged her as one, but their relationship had somewhat improved.
Xue Baozhu felt a deep regret in her heart, but from the moment she abandoned him, Gao Jiazhi’s mother was Zheng Xianghong in his eyes.
Although Zheng Xianghong was his blood-related aunt, she raised Gao Jiazhi, and for over twenty years, Gao Jiazhi regarded Zheng Xianghong as his mother.
A ’birth mother’ and a ’mom’ were two different things for him.
Even if Xue Baozhu regretted, there was nothing she could do. Yu Zhen, however, blamed Gao Jiazhi for being heartless and cold. After Xue Baozhu died, her prejudice against Gao Jiazhi was significant. Thus, there wasn’t any interaction between them.
On the contrary, due to the relationship with Yang Xuehua and both living in S City, Yu Shijie and Gao Jiazhi became closer, visiting each other during holidays and festivals.
After dinner, Xia Xiao and Yang Xuehua took a stroll nearby, with Gao Jiaxing and Yu Shijie following.
Yang Xuehua couldn’t help but bring up Yu Zhen, "Her health isn’t good either, but she refuses to come to S City for treatment. We’ve tried persuading her but to no avail; we’ve left her to her own devices now."
With a sigh, Yang Xuehua added, "As you age, your body deteriorates, and weakness and pains are inevitable."
"How is Sister Xuehua’s health?" asked Xia Xiao.
Yang Xuehua smiled, "I’m actually quite well, and whenever I have time, I exercise regularly, hiking mountains and strolling in parks with Old Yu. My health, teeth, and appetite are all good."
A smile appeared on Xia Xiao’s face, "That’s great to hear. Everyone needs to exercise; otherwise, the body starts to rust like neglected metal."
Suddenly, Yang Xuehua paused and looked towards the distance, then said to Xia Xiao, "Do you see that? Isn’t that Luo Mingzhe and Liu Yue?"
Xia Xiao looked and recognized them too. Although everyone had aged, they hadn’t completely transformed into different people, especially Luo Mingzhe and Liu Yue, who were quite recognizable.
"Do you often see them?" Xia Xiao asked.
Yang Xuehua shook her head, "Not often. Although S City isn’t very big, it’s not small either, and it’s not like we run into each other all the time, but we do bump into them once or twice a year."
"They look pretty well," Xia Xiao observed Luo Mingzhe and Liu Yue, unable to imagine the quarreling couple Shitou had described.
Yang Xuehua responded, "What do you mean, well? They’re just good at pretending, probably because they’ve seen us two now. But it’s strange with them; they’ve broken up and gotten back together three times. They are quick to divorce and just as quick to remarry."
Shaking her head, Yang Xuehua couldn’t understand the pair, but now it seemed they were truly meant for each other; otherwise, who remarries three times and still can’t stay apart.
Listening to this, Xia Xiao was utterly dumbfounded. Divorced and remarried three times, Luo Mingzhe and Liu Yue’s ability to rekindle old flames left her at a loss for words.
