I remembered that I had kept it from him before, afraid that he would know.
She thought her previous behavior was funny.
Gu Pandi said in a low voice: "Xiao Xu, do you think I am a particularly failed woman? I can't even hold on to my husband's heart, and it was taken away by another woman. Now he wants to divorce me."
As she spoke, Gu Pandi covered her face.
Tears flowed out from between fingers.
Xu Xiuwen did not immediately offer words of comfort.
Instead, he let her cry for a while.
About five minutes later.
Xu Xiuwen then asked: "Why do you think so?"
Gu Pandi didn't say anything.
The slightly shaking body just stopped.
It shows that she actually heard it.
Xu Xiuwen continued, "Uncle Jiang's job is special, and he has been away from home for many years. You have been in charge of everything at home. Xiao Yuer's admission to Jinling Law School is also inseparable from your education and training, so why do you feel that you are a failed woman?"
"But I can't even keep my own husband."
“Hehe…” Xu Xiuwen sneered.
"Sister Gu, it's Uncle Jiang's fault that he cheated on you, not yours. You've done well enough. It's him who has no vision and is sorry for your marriage. If you want to talk about failure, it's him who failed, not you. I don't allow you to think of yourself that way."
"Do you really think so?" Gu Pandi put down her hand and looked at him.
The tears in her eyes stopped.
"Um."
"Xiao Xu, you are a good kid, but others won't think so. Others will only think that I am a failure and that my wife is not doing her job well..."
"Stop!" Xu Xiuwen interrupted Gu Pandi.
"First of all, don't care what others think. Your marriage and your life are yours to live. As long as you are happy, other people's opinions are worthless."
"Secondly, at least I don't think you've failed. In my eyes, you're an excellent woman. As a wife, you manage the household in an orderly manner. As a mother, you teach Xiaoyuer very well. You also have a good relationship with every neighbor. I've never seen you quarrel with anyone in all these years. Everyone who mentions you always praises you."
"So Sister Gu, you are a perfect woman in my eyes. I still remember that I told my mother before that when I grow up, I want to marry a wife like Aunt Gu."
After hearing this, Gu Pandi's face turned red.
She tried to keep a straight face and rebuked: "You kid, you dare to say anything!"
Xu Xiuwen chuckled and scratched his head.
He wasn't actually embarrassed.
I just did that on purpose for Gu Pandi to see.
There was silence for a moment.
Gu Pandi suddenly looked up at Xu Xiuwen and asked, "So now in your eyes, a woman like me is no longer perfect, right?"
Xu Xiuwen was stunned.
He even suspected that he had heard it wrong.
But he looked at Gu Pandi carefully.
Make sure you are not hallucinating.
But why was there a hint of dissatisfaction in Gu Pandi's tone
Xu Xiuwen reacted quickly and shook his head immediately, "How could that be? Aunt Gu, you are still perfect in my heart. I will choose an excellent woman like you when I get married in the future."
"Just now you kept calling me Sister Gu, and now you're calling me Aunt Gu. I don't believe what you say at all."
"well?"
This tone...
"Uh-I'm used to it. Haha, I'll pay attention next time."
"Forget it, you should just keep calling me Aunt Gu. You've been calling me that for so many years. It's weird to call me Sister Gu now. I'm afraid you'll get used to it and you'll let it slip in front of your mother in the future."
"That won't happen."
"You are such a disobedient child. I can't control you."
The implication is.
I don't care about you anymore.
Then it became quiet again.
Xu Xiuwen took the initiative to ask: "Are you feeling better now?"
Gu Pandi also knew that Xu Xiuwen was actually coaxing her just now.
She was somewhat touched in her heart.
"I'm fine now."
"Then can I ask what's going on between you and Uncle Jiang? Did you just say divorce?"
After a conversation with Xu Xiuwen, Gu Pandi seemed to open up her heart.
Facing Xu Xiuwen's question, she no longer concealed it, nodded frankly, and said, "Yes."
"What's going on?"
Gu Pandi explained: "He came back yesterday."
Xu Xiuwen knew that the "he" that Gu Pandi was referring to was Uncle Jiang.
"Well, then what?"
"Then we had a serious talk today. He said he wanted to divorce me."
There are many people who cheat in this world. Men cheat, and women cheat too.
But many people cheat in order to seek temporary excitement.
After rationality returns or the novelty wears off, most people will still choose family.
Few people are willing to abandon their original spouse for their lover.
Not to mention the bond of children.
Xu Xiuben originally thought that Uncle Jiang would be the same.
He is just playing around with that woman, but he will soon realize his mistake and return to his family.
As a result, I learned it from Gu Pandi's mouth now.
Uncle Jiang plans to divorce Aunt Gu.
Xu Xiuwen was very curious about what kind of love potion that woman had given Uncle Jiang that could make Uncle Jiang abandon his wife and daughter and choose to divorce.
"Sister Gu, what do you think?"
"I have no idea."
"Don't you know what you think?"
"… "
"Okay, let me ask you another way. Do you still love Uncle Jiang?"
"You are already old, do you think you can still be like you young people and still care about love or not?"
"Who said you can't love? I know you might be embarrassed, but tonight it's just the two of us. I hope you can put aside all your concerns and speak your true thoughts sincerely and frankly."
"Yeah." Gu Pandi nodded in agreement after a slight hesitation.
"Then tell me."
"I don't know if I still love him or not. I really don't know."
"Then do you still feel excited when you see Uncle Jiang now?"
"We are already an old married couple, how can we still be moved?"
"Are you still angry about Uncle Jiang's cheating?"
After hearing this, Gu Pandi thought about it seriously and said, "When I first found out that he cheated on me, I was very angry, but this time when he said he wanted to divorce me, I suddenly didn't seem to be angry anymore. He liked that woman and was willing to sleep with any woman, I could turn a blind eye, but now he wants to divorce me, I hate him."
"You're not angry at all, so why do you hate him? Are you reluctant to part with Uncle Jiang?"
"I'm not reluctant to part with him. I'm just worried that the divorce will affect Xiaoyu. I don't want Xiaoyu to be disliked by her in-laws in the future because of my relationship with him."
"It's already this late, and you're still thinking about how Xiaoyu's in-laws will dislike her in the future! Can you please take care of yourself now?"
After Xu Xiuwen finished speaking, he realized that his voice was a little loud.
He adjusted his breathing and spoke more slowly, "Does Xiaoyu know about Uncle Jiang's affair now?"
"I don't know. I kept it a secret from her and didn't tell her."
"Why didn't you tell her?"
