You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 365 Lu Yuanhuan's Side Story 2

Lu Yuanhuan wasn't so bothered by Gu Yushan's interruption and was willing to sit up and talk properly.

"The more you oppose a young person's insistence on their relationship, the more they feel that you are challenging their feelings. Even if you were the Queen Mother of the West, you couldn't separate them."

Moreover, separating? Lu Yuanhuan was suffering and internally conflicted; she hadn't even considered that idea.

Gu Yushan held her hand with heartache and said, "You really don't know any better. Raising a son is worse than raising a dog."

He didn't care how infatuated Yang Xiaoxiao was with Gu Anping, nor did he care whether Gu Anping was truly being slowly boiled like a frog. In any case, he understood perfectly well that the two families should not have any contact, let alone have any contact under such emotional circumstances.

His son doesn't care about his mother, his daughter doesn't care about his mother, but he cares about his wife!

Lu Yuanhuan laughed and retorted, "You're comparing your son to a dog? You're the father, aren't you!"

Gu Yushan said seriously, "If that brat makes you unhappy, he's not even as good as a dog."

Gu Yushan spoke earnestly, but Lu Yuanhuan felt a tenderness in her heart, and for a moment, she felt as if all her sorrow had flown away.

Lu Yuanhuan smiled at him and said, "Nonsense."

"Heh!" Gu Yushan chuckled. "I'm not making this up. I would say the same thing even if it were An'an."

“An’an will cry.”

Gu An'an, who was eavesdropping outside the door: "..." She really was crying!

"You don't understand your son and daughter, so just cry!"

Lu Yuanhuan was both delighted and helpless. "They don't know the situation, so it's normal for them to react this way."

"An'an went to find you, didn't she?"

A mother always knows her daughter very well.

Gu Yushan nodded, "I went, and told him not to break up the couple."

Lu Yuanhuan chuckled, "Don't be angry!"

Gu Yushan pursed his lips. "How could I not be angry? You've suffered so much injustice, and not only do they not understand, but they've also made you so upset because of Yang Xiaoxiao. It's a favor that I didn't beat them up on the spot."

"Are you willing to do that?" Lu Yuanhuan asked, looking at him teasingly.

Gu Yushan is the kind of person who is very reasonable. Perhaps because of his profession, he has seen too many bizarre things. Therefore, when it comes to family matters, he thinks they are minor issues and that reasoning with him is enough.

"Well, although I've never laid a hand on them, if they're too disobedient, I might be willing to take action," Gu Yushan stated his position.

Gu An'an, who was eavesdropping, thought to herself, "..." What could be the reason that made her father want to punish someone? She silently mourned for her brother for a second.

Lu Yuanhuan shook his head with amusement, "Pingping has been in the army for so many years, and with your old arms and legs, how can you possibly beat him?"

"So what? It's only natural for a father to beat his son. You try letting him, as the son, lay a hand on me, his father!"

Lu Yuanhuan glanced at him indifferently, reluctant to say that she had witnessed fathers and sons fighting when she was a child in the village.

"Sigh, forget it! Let things be as they are!" Lu Yuanhuan felt exhausted and didn't want to worry about anything.

Gu Yushan frowned. "If you really become in-laws with Zhang Xiaoya, I'm afraid you'll never have a peaceful meal in your life."

"I remember clearly how she targeted you back then. I don't think you can forget. You've never been one to hold grudges, but all these years you haven't given Zhang Xiaoya a single word or glance. Do you think I don't understand?"

Life is unpredictable. Even though Lu Yuanhuan heard Zhang Xiaoya's name, she couldn't help but show a disgusted expression on her face.

"Of course I hate her. Even now, I still clearly remember how helpless I felt that night. If it weren't for you, if you hadn't saved me that night, my life would probably have been ruined long ago."

"All the plans my third brother made for me will turn into bubbles."

Gu Yushan hugged her trembling body tenderly, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about her anymore."

Lu Yuanhuan nestled in his arms, finally finding a sense of security.

No girl in this world could remain unmoved after encountering such misfortune.

Such an experience will make them feel nauseous and painful whenever they think about it for the rest of their lives.

Lu Yuanhuan was a sensitive person, so the hurt he caused her was even greater.

Over the years, because of her family and Gu Yushan, she was less afraid, but the disgust remained. Even though she was eventually rescued and nothing terrible happened to her, the thought of it still affected her.

“Back then, I was assigned to a newspaper after graduation. Zhang Xiaoya took good care of me, and I was very grateful to her. You don’t know how lucky I was to have met such a kind person at work. I completely forgot all the little workplace scheming that my third brother told me about.”

“I trusted her too much. When she said she would introduce me to someone, I readily agreed. I believed in my heart that she wouldn’t harm me. But I overlooked the fact that the person she introduced me to was her own cousin. Compared to that, what am I, a colleague?”

"On our first blind date, her cousin tried to touch me inappropriately. I wanted to leave, but he wouldn't let me. If you hadn't appeared just in time, I probably wouldn't have wanted to live anymore. A girl's reputation is of paramount importance. In those days, if something had happened to me that night, I wouldn't have survived."

"But if I die, how sad will my brother and his family be? How much pain will they suffer?"

“Especially my third brother, he really wanted me to go to university, stay in a big city, and leave the village. If something happened to me, he would be the one who would have the hardest time accepting it.”

Gu Yushan was heartbroken.

Encountering bad people is something no one wants to happen.

He was a policeman and felt incredibly fortunate to have saved his wife.

But he also knew how long-lasting the damage caused by bad things could be.

Lu Yuanhuan has a very good brother. Even though her parents died early, she has a brother who plans her life in detail and is willing to do anything for her. Her life should have been a smooth road without any troubles.

She was the beloved younger sister of Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanbo, and her two brothers were willing to shield her from all the troubles. She should live a carefree life.

Lu Yuanhuan tugged at the corners of his mouth and gave a bitter smile. "Zhang Xiaoya is such a vengeful person. Because you were her fiancé, but we ended up getting married, and because you sent her cousin to prison, she has been resentful of me all these years. You went to great lengths to transfer me from the newspaper to the department store, and she went to great lengths to get rid of my job, yet she still holds a grudge against me!"

"However, when I married you, I knew she would hold a grudge against me."

Gu Yushan stroked her hair gently, his tone tender, "Holding a grudge won't do any good. It'll only make her see you angry every day and be helpless."

Lu Yuanhuan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and chuckled, "There are still some. Isn't this the perfect opportunity to annoy me for the rest of my life?"

"She was very satisfied with you back then, and she talked about how good you were to me every day. In the end, you broke off your engagement with her and married me instead, which made her furious."

“Not now, not in the future, I will never give her a chance to annoy you,” Gu Yushan said.

Lu Yuanhuan straightened up and looked at him, saying, "You were just saying it. Do you really intend to become the Queen Mother of the West?"

When Lu Yuanhuan learned that Gu Anping and Zhang Xiaoya's daughter, Yang Xiaoxiao, were dating, she was somewhat devastated.

She was the person in the world who least wanted to have anything to do with Zhang Xiaoya.

But her own son ended up getting together with the other woman's daughter.

How could this not cause her immense pain?

Even though she was heartbroken, Lu Yuanhuan never had any intention of breaking up the couple.

That's just how she is in her life. She'd rather suffer herself than force others, even if that other person is her own son.

She might have to compromise herself, but some people wouldn't want anyone to wrong her.

“Leave this to me! Didn’t Third Brother go back to the village? You’re on holiday anyway, why don’t you go back to Shihua Village to relax?” Gu Yushan said.

Uncle Lu is in a bad mood. Lu Yuanqing has been in Shihua Village all this time and has not been in Kyoto.

Perfect timing! With some free time, Lu Yuanhuan could go back to the village to relax.

Gu Yushan knew that if there was anyone in this world who could make Lu Yuanhuan happy, then that person must be Lu Yuanqing.

He wasn't jealous at all.

He, as Lu Yuanhuan's husband, saw how good Lu Yuanqing was to her.

So even if his wife ranked Lu Yuanqing, her brother-in-law, first and him second in her heart, he wouldn't feel jealous.

Lu Yuanhuan is sensitive and tends to internalize problems.

Although Gu Yushan could comfort her each time, he could not truly help her let go of her resentment.

She always kept things to herself, and over time, Gu Yushan became very worried about her health.

Lu Yuanhuan is an adult and cannot be controlled by sweet words. Only the person she trusts wholeheartedly can help her let go of her pain.

That person was Lu Yuanqing.

Lu Yuanhuan's heart skipped a beat.

She was very happy to be able to go back to the village and spend time with her third brother.

but……

“Anping’s letter said he would be coming back, and judging from the time mentioned in the letter, it should be tomorrow or the day after. This time he’s definitely coming back because of what happened between him and Yang Xiaoxiao. If I leave at this time…”

What would Gu Anping think of this?

Gu Yushan snorted coldly, "Why do you still care about that brat's feelings? Why doesn't he think about you?"

Lu Yuanhuan said good-naturedly, "He doesn't know about the grudge between me and Zhang Xiaoya! He probably thinks that our conflict with the Yang family is just a simple neighborhood dispute!"

Just like Gu An'an said, it's not like there's any deep-seated hatred, so it's normal that they don't understand.

Gu Yushan was still dissatisfied. "Anyway, this is all the brat's fault. When Yang Xiaoxiao was chasing after him, didn't he look down on her? But now, after only a few years away, he's being brought back like a girlfriend. An'an is right, he's been slowly boiled like a frog by Yang Xiaoxiao."

Lu Yuanhuan: "Uh, then what about the fact that he was unwilling before?"

Gu Yushan: "I'll struggle a bit to prove that I'm an imported frog and not so easy to cook!"

Lu Yuanhuan: "..."

"Anyway, leave this matter to me. You just buy your ticket and go back to the village tomorrow. Don't worry about it. Leave everything to me!" Gu Yushan said.

Gu Yushan made good arrangements, but he forgot one thing: plans can never keep up with changes.
