Eighties Sweetheart Wife

Chapter 607: Not Just Talk

Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Not Just TalkMother Shu looked at her daughter, who seemed to be taking in the advice, and continued, "My girl, as the old saying goes, ’people must live by comparison, goods must be kept by comparison’. You can’t be overly competitive, nor can you compare yourself with Song Yunuan. You are you, she is she. Since you want to marry Gu Huaiming, you’ve got to learn to be magnanimous, to have a broad heart, and to be tolerant of Gu Jiaojiao..."

Shu Xiang nodded sullenly.

It’s easy to say but hard to do.

Facing someone like Gu Jiaojiao, even the best of tempers could be provoked on the spot. She knew she had issues, but Gu Jiaojiao’s were even bigger.

That damned girl simply didn’t regard those inferior to the Gu family in her eyes.

She was just too arrogant and conceited.

To claim she harbored no ill intentions was one thing, but wasn’t such behavior towards others actually quite malicious?

And then to gloriously claim it’s just being straightforward.

Only those who have dealt with her would know.

But she didn’t want her mother to worry anymore.

Although she wasn’t someone who was solely focused on climbing the social ladder, she did have her vanities.

Gu Huaiming was a member of the Gu family, with extraordinary status and position. Ever since she began dating him, she truly enjoyed the benefits and conveniences this status brought.

Even classmates and coworkers looked at her differently than before.

Those who previously dismissed her were now speaking to her with flattery.

Not to mention, she truly did like Gu Huaiming.

If it was possible not to break up, she wouldn’t.

Others were manageable, but Gu Jiaojiao was truly a headache.

Mother Shu rubbed her daughter’s head. The Gu family did not feel Gu Jiaojiao had much of a problem; in her opinion, this girl was arrogant, domineering, and extremely capricious, but in the eyes of her grandparents and parents, these were just little flaws that could be forgiven.

The reason was she was still a child.

So by the same measure, the Gu family also felt that their own petty, crybaby, and competitive daughter could be unbearable.

But as a mother, she didn’t feel there was anything particularly bad about her own daughter.

Yet she still forcefully sought various faults in her.

To say it didn’t hurt would be a lie.

But it couldn’t be left unchecked, this was true.

Otherwise, it would be better to cruelly break them apart, to avoid future enmity.

Song Yunuan received a call from Hai Shaoqing, from the port, saying that after he landed on the island, it would be difficult to be in contact, but he could send telegrams.

Knowing he had safely arrived, Song Yunuan felt relieved.

When she visited her grandma’s house, she found Jin Ju was also there; she came to wish her grandma a happy new year.

Jin Ju had visited once before, and Zhu Feng took a particular liking to her.

This time, Zhu Feng even suggested Jin Ju stay for dinner, and she and her eldest daughter-in-law would cook, letting the two of them chat in the living room.

The kids weren’t home, as Song Mingbo had taken them ice skating.

Which wasn’t really surprising.

What child from the north couldn’t ice skate?

But the ice rinks in Beidu were definitely different from those in the provincial city.

Thus, they all went out with Song Mingbo to have fun.

The Xia family had a large study room belonging to Xia Xindong. Xia Xindong had once told Jin Ju that many of the books were acquired by Little Nuan, and Jin Ju had come this time wanting to see them as well.

Indeed, it was like a library.

Astronomy, geography, novels, essays, science journals, foreign literature—everything was there.

The two

Whether it was about life, career, or love, she always saw through to the essence.

And she looked far into the future.

Her perspective on problems was also different from others.

Just like now.

Song Yunuan felt that if she really ventured into her uncle’s field, she and her uncle might indeed develop a potion akin to what they discussed.

She spoke casually, but it wasn’t just casual talk.

Still, Jin Ju was right.

Song Yunuan hurriedly and obediently replied, "Sister Ju, you make a lot of sense. I won’t bring up anything like that again in the future."

At this moment, Jin Ju looked at Song Yunuan, who was just like a girl in her early twenties ought to be.

Jin Ju didn’t mince words, "As long as you remember, don’t casually mention it to others."
