Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage - Chapter 401 - 402: He is a Ruffian, But Also Her Hero

Chapter 401: Chapter 402: He is a Ruffian, But Also Her Hero

“Grandma, were you against their love affair back then?” Xia Yangyang asked.

“Of course I was against it. Who would entrust their daughter to a troublemaker? He was good to your mother, but he was unpredictable and kept bad company. I feared he would drag your mother down. I always objected, but it was to no avail.”

“Did mom really like him?”

A look of helplessness appeared on Grandma’s face: “Initially, I thought your mother was merely grateful to him. After all, he was a young man who escorted her to and from school, through rain or shine. Your mother was so gentle, it seemed impossible for her to fall for someone like him. But when I forced your mother to break up with him, she went on a hunger strike for three days. That’s when I knew, her heart was set on him. I don’t know what spell she was under, but she really did like that little hoodlum.”

As an outsider, Xia Yangyang felt moved when she heard what her grandmother had to say.

She could understand her mother’s feelings.

Although Gao Wenbin was a hooligan who was unlearned and unreasonable, he was her mother’s hero.

“Later your mother went to the big city to attend university, and Gao Wenbin followed. At that time, he promised me that he would find a decent job, live a good life, and once he had achieved something, he would come and formally propose. I accepted this, since at least I could see that the young man was sincere. With him around, I was not afraid of your mother being bullied in the big city.”

When Grandma got to this part of the story, she seemed to remember something.

Her voice turned somber.

“What happened later, why didn’t mom end up with him and instead married dad?”

“I don’t know exactly what happened in the city. All I know is that, one day your mother returned home all of a sudden and locked herself in her room for seven days without eating or drinking, just staring blankly. Gao Wenbin came later and kneeled outside the door for a whole day and night. When your mother finally came out, they talked in the yard. In the end, your mother broke up with him. The young man just stood there and cried loudly. Although I don’t know exactly what happened, it was quite heartbreaking at the time. When I asked your mother, she didn’t want to talk about it. Afterwards, Gao Wenbin left and I never saw him again. I heard that he committed some crime and went to jail, and less than three months later, your mother married your father.”

Speaking of this, Grandma’s voice was filled with regret: “Actually, I quite liked that little troublemaker later. Compared to your father, Gao Wenbin did things for your mother that Xia Liangdong could never compete with. I also heard later, that Gao Wenbin had presumably been seduced by a young lady from a wealthy family, and had wronged your mother. Your mother was so unfortunate, not only was she abandoned by one man, but even your father treated her so poorly. No wonder…”

At this point, it seemed like the old lady couldn’t continue.

Although these were old stories, her daughter’s death remained a heavy stone in her heart for all these years.

She couldn’t reveal the full story to Yangyang.

Xia Yangyang also felt very saddened.

Grandma wanted to say, no wonder her mother was so disappointed in the end and committed suicide.

Grandma was not aware of the many hidden details of the situation.

“Let’s stop talking about this, NanNan, let’s eat. Your mother has been gone for so many years, and talking about these things is pointless. As long as you and Ah Chen are happy, your mother can rest in peace underground.”

Xia Yangyang’s mood also turned gloomy.

If it was indeed Gu Mingzhu who, out of love and hatred, drove her mother to suicide back then, Xia Yangyang really didn’t know what she would do.

Could she continue her relationship with Gu Qichen?DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()/lbin(.)c/o/m
