Chapter 1829: Chapter 1827: A Lifetime Just Passes By
Mu Xinxin collapsed helplessly onto the sofa, covering her face. What Grandma said was too terrifying, so terrifying that it shattered all her beautiful fantasies about marriage and being with Lu Hao.
Having heard Sister Li talk about the disgraceful antics of the three Lu family members today, she knew in her heart that Grandma might have exaggerated a bit, but was essentially truthful.
Even if they donât come to disturb her and Lu Haoâs life, they would still remotely control it like lingering ghosts.
Grandma Mu didnât comfort her little granddaughter this time, just coldly watched her cry.
Some things have to be broken down and explained to her thoroughly. Otherwise, in the future, not only would the granddaughter regret it, but she would too. If it truly came to that, she wouldnât be able to die with peace of mind.
"Xinxin, Grandma admits that Lu Hao is a good kid. None of this is his fault; heâs the most innocent one. When such things happen, heâs also the one who suffers the most.
But what can be done? He cannot choose who his parents are, nor can he choose who his family members are. These people cling to him like parasites, sucking his blood and eating his marrow. Maybe when heâs of no use anymore, theyâll finally relent.
But by then, what will you do?
Having such a family is an original sin that he canât escape for his entire life."
Suddenly, Mu Xinxin released her hands, took out a handkerchief, and hastily wiped her tears, saying angrily, "Grandma, according to you, Brother Lu Hao wouldnât be able to marry his entire life, is that it?"
Old Lady Mu widened her eyes, thinking the child was arguing with her.
"He can marry, marry someone equally vicious, who doesnât care about that family, a strong-willed woman, otherwise the outcome will be as I just described."
Old Lady Mu continued, "Xinxin, even if only a small part of what I said happens, considering your kind and soft-hearted nature, you wonât be able to handle it. What then? We canât just stand by and watch; weâd have to keep stepping in. If it goes on, Lu Hao will genuinely become someone who lives off others. Eventually, your relationship will face severe tests.
No matter how beautiful love is, it ultimately succumbs to the trivialities of daily life."
Old Lady Mu made a harsh conclusion.
Mu Xinxin disagreed, "Grandma, youâre only talking about the worst-case scenario. Look at how good Qiaoqiao and Ah Ze are, they have a son and daughter and live so happily."
Old Lady Mu glanced at her granddaughter, "Xinxin, I know you have a good relationship with Gu Qiaoqiao. Youâve known each other for so long, havenât you noticed that girl is exceptional? Despite her young age, she never hesitates when itâs time to act.
Moreover, thereâs no comparison between these two families. As for the Qin Family, although they can be elitist to some extent, theyâre a reputable family. At the very least, they donât suck their sonâs blood.
So thatâs the biggest difference!"
Mu Xinxin was left speechless. She knew comparing the Qin Family to the Lu Family was purely argumentative. She replied softly, "Grandma, what should I do then? Anyway, I wonât break up with Lu Hao."
Grandma Mu pounded the sofa arm in anger, "Xinxin, have you really heard nothing of what Iâve said all this time?"
"Iâve heard it all, Grandma. I know what you say might really happen to that family. I didnât quite believe it before, but after hearing Sister Li today, I really do. But I canât give up Lu Hao because of this."
"Then what solution do you have for dealing with that family?" Old Lady Mu asked bluntly.
"I donât know either."
"Would you let Lu Hao deal with his family himself? Do you think Lu Hao would sever ties with them?"
"He wouldnât."
Mu Xinxin murmured.
"Exactly, he wouldnât. But this matter is unlikely to end well no matter how itâs handled. Think carefully about your future life; every day would be chaotic, and you couldnât cope. By the time you learn to handle it, you may be as old as Grandma, and your whole life wouldâve passed. Is it worth it?"
Old Lady Mu continued to speak heartfelt words.
Mu Xinxin remained silent, head bowed.
Feeling very bad, but it was impossible to let go of Lu Hao like that. She already knew about his family situation, and Lu Hao hadnât hidden anything from her.
Before confirming their relationship, he was candid about his family circumstances with her. She truly didnât care at the time, and she still doesnât much now. But the events at noon today did unsettle her.
The familyâs shamelessness was shocking. They had been divorced for so long, yet they dared to show up asking Sister Li for money and a house.
It was all laughable.
Fortunately, Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen arrived in time, and then Old Lee and others also got there. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened? Facing the three from the Lu Family, Sister Li indeed might not have been able to manage.
Thinking of this, Mu Xinxin brightened up, Gu Qiaoqiao, yes, she should go find Qiaoqiao.
Qiaoqiao knows Lu Familyâs situation just as well as she does. Having witnessed todayâs events entirely, perhaps she might have a good solution.
Seeing her granddaughterâs suddenly changed expression, Grandma Mu thought for a moment and knew what she was planning, coldly snorted, "Xinxin, are you thinking of asking Qiaoqiao for help?"
"Grandma, I havenât said anything yet, and youâve guessed. You truly are wise beyond your years, incredible," Mu Xinxin flattering said with thick skin.
Old Lady Mu helplessly shook her head, realizing her words had been for nothing.
However, seeing her granddaughterâs appearance, sheâd truly taken it to heart.
And she knows how to find solutions.
She felt uncomfortable but also somewhat comforted. Xinxin had indeed grown up. Faced with problems, she doesnât just hide behind her but tries to solve them.
Moreover, Lu Hao is indeed quite good. Qin Yize is not easily impressed, and those who he respects are promising. Of course, Chu Chengfeng is also very promising, though his character is somewhat lacking.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Mu sighed, "Xinxin, Grandma tells you, Qiaoqiao is busy with work now and looking after a pair of children, so donât disturb her if itâs not necessary."
"I know, Grandma, donât worry. I wonât ask Qiaoqiao to do things she doesnât want to do, but weâre good friends. She understands the Lu family well. She warned me many times like you before, so Iâm just looking to her for ideas. If it really doesnât work out, I must learn to harden my heart..."
