108 Breaking Off The Marriage
The next morning, Gu Ming’s mother, Li Yan, came to visit with a dark expression.
Shen Yu didn’t know what happened to Bei Le yesterday. She thought that her son took his sister out to play all night, and now she was sleeping in her room.
Her son, Bei Cong, had already talked to Shen Yu. He said that the children of wealthy families were passionately pursuing Bei Le. Bei Le was still hesitating and didn’t want to refuse.
She was also hesitating, but she had watched Gu Ming grow up. She knew his roots and he was very good to Bei Le. As for her in-law, Li Yan, she had nothing to complain about.
However, if Bei Le could marry into a wealthy family, it would be extremely beneficial to her future and even the future of the Bei Family. It was very tempting.
Hence, when she saw Li Yan, her expression became a little unnatural. “Ah, you. Why are you here so early? What’s the matter?”
Li Yan sat on the sofa without hesitation and looked up.
“Ah, Bei Le isn’t home,” Shen Yu said hurriedly.
Without waiting for Li Yan to speak, Shen Yu said first, “I heard that the two of them had a little fight recently. I don’t know why, but Bei Le is quite angry. Why don’t you persuade Gu Ming to give in to Bei Le more? Girls are more delicate.”
Li Yan suppressed her anger and said coldly, “It’s normal for boys to give in to girls. Our Gu Ming has a good temper, right? Since they were young, when did Gu Ming not give in whenever they had conflicts?”
Shen Yu smiled and said, “Yes, yes! Gu Ming is a sensible child.”
Li Yan straightened her back and said coldly, “Even clay figurines will have a temper! On account that the two families have been friends for several generations, I won’t say anything else. Bei Le has been breaking up with Gu Ming recently. Since Bei Le doesn’t like Gu Ming so much, I’ll make the decision. Let’s break up. After separating, the two of them will go their separate ways and live well.”
Shen Yu was stunned. Although she wasn’t afraid that Bei Le and Gu Ming would break up, she still felt embarrassed when the Gu family brought up the idea of breaking up.
“W-what do you mean? If you want to break up, it should be our Bei Le who brings it up? Why does it sound like your family doesn’t want our Bei Le anymore?”
Li Yan looked at her best friend, who she usually talked to the most, and couldn’t help but reveal a look of pity. “You can interpret it however you want. Since Bei Le is unwilling, our Gu Ming has given up. Let’s break up.”
Shen Yu felt that Li Yan was just feeling guilty. She said angrily, “Gu Ming should say it himself! Isn’t he very attentive every day? Why did his mother do it for him in the end? Isn’t he brave enough?”
Li Yan was also angry. Her chest heaved, and she used all her strength to suppress her anger. She said angrily, “He’s lying on the hospital bed now. How do you want him to come? I gave birth to my own son, so I can naturally make the decision for him!”
Shen Yu paused for a second, then lowered her voice. “Why… is he in the hospital? Wasn’t he fine two days ago? Why is he sick? Is it serious?”
After all, he was a child she watched grow up. Shen Yu cared about him.
Li Yan calmed down and thought about her husband and son’s advice. She said calmly, “It’s not serious. He just needs to stay in the hospital for a few days to recuperate. It’s a small matter. What’s important is his and Bei Le’s matter.”
Hearing that, Shen Yu hurriedly said, “It’s just a quarrel between the children. It’s probably not a big deal. Why don’t we stay out of it? Let them solve it themselves. How about that?”
At this moment, Shen Yu had long forgotten about marrying into a rich family. As a woman, she knew the importance of husband and wife being in love with each other.
Li Yan looked at her and said meaningfully, “Shen Yu, you have to take care of the children’s matters at all times. When they grow up, you have to take care of them more than when they were young. You can’t let them take a wrong step, especially girls. If they take a wrong step, I’m afraid they will take every step wrongly in the future.”
Shen Yu frowned. “You, what do you mean? What’s wrong with our Bei Le? Tell me clearly. The girls in our family are well-behaved. Who doesn’t praise our Bei Le for being knowledgeable and polite?”
Li Yan looked at Shen Yu and smiled, but her smile was very cold. “I’ve asked someone to pack up the things Bei Le left in our house. I’ll have someone send them back to you in the next two days.”
Seeing that, Shen Yu panicked a little.
“Mom… Forget it. Let’s split it. It’s pretty good.” Bei Le stood on the stairs and looked at them from afar, cold and distant.
