My Sweet and Charming Wife

C149 – They Decided to Leave!!!

Huo Qingyue began to see herself as acting unreasonably. The way Zhao Yun currently appeared made her seem unhinged, and this had upset Huo Qingyue too.

When Zhao Yun was causing a commotion, they both bore with it. Their primary reason was because they saw her as their real mother. There’s a saying, “bear with it thrice.” Upon hearing her latest remarks, he couldn’t restrain himself any longer. Grasping Gu Yuehuan’s hand, he sternly told Zhao Yun, “Mom, see how irrational you’re behaving. I’ve reached my limit. If you so desperately wish for someone else to have your child, then seek someone else. Starting today, Yuehuan and I are moving out. We can’t live here any longer.”

He directed Gu Yuehuan, “Darling, pack our clothes. We’ll depart from here and relocate to the town. As for my mother’s outbursts, she can continue them here on her own. I won’t stand by and watch. I’ll act as if I don’t have a mother like her.”

The gravity of the situation surprised Gu Yuehuan. He hadn’t expected that they’d actually consider moving to the town now.

In the past, they had contemplated this move, but they hesitated, fearing it would strain the mother-son relationship even more. Yet now, he pleaded, “Yue, could you reconsider…”

Zhao Yun was deeply hurt by her son’s words, leading her to a teary breakdown. Overwhelmed by her emotions, she rebuked the other woman, saying, “Stay quiet! Why act so saintly? This change in my son is your doing. If you hadn’t influenced him, he’d never have spoken to me like this. He was always so obedient. Now, because of you, he seems changed. Return my obedient son to me! You’ve made him seem like he’s under some spell!”

Zhao Yun’s emotional outcry was genuinely alarming. It appeared as though she might resort to violence. Huo Qingyue, ensuring Gu Yuehuan was safe, swiftly moved into the house. They were on the brink of departure, but their true desire wasn’t really to leave, so they started packing a few things.

They entered the house and retrieved the bag. Once they had it, Huo Qingyue took Gu Yuehuan’s hand and they both left.

Of late, Gu Yuewei had been pondering on ways to mar Gu Yuehuan’s appearance. She was envious of Gu Yuehuan’s beauty, always feeling discontented. Reflecting on her past, particularly her forced abortion, intensified her resentment towards Gu Yuehuan, leading her to dislike her beauty.

She wondered if men would still find Gu Yuehuan attractive if her looks were tarnished.

Then, nobody would be drawn to her. In her mind, Gu Yuewei believed she was the most enchanting woman in the village, superior to Gu Yuehuan.

Despite her intentions, she wasn’t sure how to approach Gu Yuehuan with her plan, leaving her moping at home, snacking on melon seeds.

Zhang Shufen had a reputation in the village for being fond of gossip. Any scandal or controversy in the village would quickly reach her ears, and she relished these tales. After catching wind of the latest story, she approached Gu Yuewei and excitedly shared, “Yuewei, I’ve got some news you might find intriguing. Do you recall how Gu Yuehuan married Huo Qingyue? And how Zhao Yun had a keen interest in Gu Yuehuan? Do you wonder why that’s no longer the case?”

While Gu Yuewei had been feeling down, this tidbit piqued her interest. She eagerly inquired, “Why? Did Gu Yuehuan’s enhanced appearance after slimming down make her stray from the path of a loyal wife, thus causing Zhao Yun’s change of heart?”
