Chapter 738: Bad Old Lady

"Shuyun, am I a bad old lady?"

When Gu Lingling caught up, she saw Wang Shuyun and Old Mrs. Xu sitting in a part of the park, "But whenever I think of my Yibo, my heart just aches."

"Raising him from such a young age, dealing with his mess after mess," Old Mrs. Xu gestured as she spoke, "He said he wanted to join the army, and I said, ’Yibo, dear, your mother only has you as her son. If anything happens to you, our Old Xu Family would have no continuation.’"

"He insisted, saying a real man must be a soldier, and that his lifelong dream was to wear the military uniform. I refused, and he started to make a fuss, neither eating nor drinking. In the end, his sister came up with a compromise."

"An arts soldier, no danger."

"But who could’ve thought he’d lose his life even as an arts soldier."

Old Mrs. Xu said, crying.

Wang Shuyun silently kept her head down, and Gu Lingling couldn’t see her expression.

"I’m not forcing you. If you want to be with him, I won’t say anything. After all, you’re a couple, and after so many years, even a cat or dog would grow on you, let alone a living, breathing person."

"I don’t blame you. It’s just that my poor son wasn’t blessed." Old Mrs. Xu held Wang Shuyun’s hand and wiped her tears.

Wang Shuyun shook her head, "Don’t say that, Yibo is a good person. It’s me who wronged him, I ruined him."

Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, "Mother, I won’t go back on my word, don’t worry. I have no intention of getting back with him or anything. You have to believe me."

Mother?!

Gu Lingling was taken aback by the way she addressed Old Mrs. Xu as she approached.

How could Wang Shuyun call Old Mrs. Xu "Mother"?

"I know you’re a trustworthy child. I came here just to see you." Old Mrs. Xu helped her wipe her tears, saying, "Seeing you well sets my mind at ease."

Gu Lingling thought: She was fine when Old Mrs. Xu was not here, but with all the commotion just now caused by her presence, how could Wang Shuyun be alright?

"Don’t blame me for what happened just now. It’s just that when I saw him and thought of my Yibo, it’s like a knife stabbed through my heart."

"Child, I hope I didn’t scare you just now."

Gu Lingling thought again: Saying this now, isn’t it a bit late?

No wonder she always felt the relationship between Yang Aiguo and Wang Shuyun was peculiar.

Clearly, they weren’t devoid of feelings for each other, but they just weren’t together.

It must have something to do with this old lady in front of her.

Gu Lingling quietly walked over, and Old Mrs. Xu was kindly helping Wang Shuyun wipe her tears, "Stop crying now, it’s all my fault, seeing you cry makes my heart ache too."

Gu Lingling: "..."

Listening to this, why does it feel like Zheng Xiangjun is the stepmother instead?

Wang Shuyun didn’t say anything, using a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"Ah, I don’t want to be that wicked person either. If you want to be with him, I won’t stop you." Looking at Wang Shuyun, Old Mrs. Xu sighed.

"I..."

"Mother?" Gu Lingling interrupted Wang Shuyun and walked over.

Who knows what this old lady’s purpose is? But just from what she said, it’s clear she’s very cunning.

The strategy of retreating to advance, leaving Wang Shuyun with no leeway.

If this continues, who knows what kind of promises Wang Shuyun might make next.

"Who is this girl?" Being interrupted, Old Mrs. Xu glanced coldly at Gu Lingling, then asked with a smile.

"This is my daughter-in-law, her name is Lingling." Wang Shuyun introduced, but she didn’t introduce Old Mrs. Xu to Gu Lingling.

"This girl is really pretty! If Yibo were still alive, I’m sure your children would also be beautiful."
