Chapter 721: Memories

at Cheng Ke Xin who was sitting quietly beside him because of the heavy atmosphere, he thought: "Ke Xin, if we fail this time, will you blame me for ruining your life But don't worry, even if your li...In fact, not only Gu Kejun in the village said this, almost everyone who saw her would say it. Gu Keyu had long been accustomed to it, only feeling that those people were deliberately mocking himself and did not take it to heart. 。Only today, after hearing Wang Cuifen's words, did I understand. It turns out that everything the adults said was true. 。Gu Ke Yu felt like his fingertips were going numb, as if all the blood in his body had solidified at that moment, and his breathing became rapid. He sat down heavily on the bed next to him, and then he felt a little better. 。Wang Cuifen's face was a little worried. She raised her hand towards Gu Ke Yux, then put it down again. 。As if afraid Gu Ke Yu might fall. 。This kind of expression made Gu Ke'yu find it a little funny. Was this belated concern

It was too late, everything was too late. He hadn't been able to give her what she needed when she needed it most. Make-up couldn't make up for that.

All this so-called concern is meaningless to her now. 。“So... what they said was all true..." 。"Gu Ke Yu slowly opened his mouth, a joke, what a huge joke, he actually lived two lifetimes before understanding this fact." 。Wang Cuifen wiped away her tears with the edge of her blanket. She was indeed old now, her face etched with the marks of time. 。Now she seems like any other kind and gentle old lady, but she was never an easygoing person. It seems that people are always at their best when they're nearing the end of their lives. 。She choked back two sobs and said, "If my body hadn't held out, I wouldn't have told you this. These words have been bottled up for so many years, it's time I told you." 。Your biological mother was very beautiful. You don't look much like her, but the light in your eyes is the same. 。Gu Ke'yu gazed into Wang Cuifen's eyes, wanting only to be a listener. Her mind drifted, imagining what her biological mother might have looked like—a celestial beauty. Even in her youth, Wang Cuifen was one of the most beautiful women in the village, capable of inspiring envy in Gu Ke'yu, which took a certain amount of effort. 。Wang Cuifen's eyes rolled around, she carefully wanted to find a trace of that person on Gu Ke'yu's face, but besides those eyes, the rest really didn't look alike. 。"Sigh..." Wang Cuifen let out a breath, she looked at the fallen leaves outside the window, her thoughts drifting back to that autumn. 。I can't remember the exact time, it was just in the autumn. 。Your mother suddenly arrived in the village. No one knew where she came from, nor did they expect her to stay in the village. 。But everyone could tell she was from a big city. Her mannerisms and style were different from ours. 。But she never smiled, nor did she ever speak to her neighbors. A beautiful woman, yet there was sadness in every line of her face and eyes. 。This piqued the interest of all the villagers. Men, women, and children alike flocked around her, curious to know what had led her to abandon her former life and choose a fresh start in the countryside. 。"I'm also interested in her, but I've never been bold enough to talk to her because I'm jealous. " 。I know, in big cities, maybe I'm nothing. 。But in our small village, a place no bigger than the palm of your hand, I was known as a beauty. Matchmakers from neighboring villages even came to me with proposals, let alone the men in our own village. 。"Every day it's either fruits or chickens and ducks, my doorstep is almost flattened by them." 。But ever since your mother arrived, all these men have been flocking around her, as if everyone has forgotten I exist. 。"I couldn't help but think, why Just because she's a city person" "Then why didn't she just stay in the city to enjoy herself instead of coming out here to bother me"Wang Cuifen became agitated as she spoke, clutching the quilt tightly in her hands. Thinking back on those events from years ago, a bitter taste filled her heart. 。Gu Ke'yu also followed suit, frowning. No wonder Gu Kejun always disliked anyone being better than himself. It turned out that it was genetics all along. 。"You wouldn't have such strong hostility towards her just because of her appearance, would you" Gu Ke'yu was a little impatient; she wanted to know what had happened and made Wang Cuifen feel so much hatred. 。Yes, of course, there are other things 。What good is it to be pretty She can't do anything. 。A pampered woman from the city, arriving in our impoverished and remote village, what could she possibly do At that time, our village didn't even have a well. We had to go to the mountains behind the village to fetch water from a spring. Not to mention the distance of one kilometer, she wouldn't even be able to carry such a bucket of water. 。" She can't do any heavy work. " 。Fortunately, she was living in your previous parents' house when she came. Your father would bring her a bucket of water every time he went up the mountain to fetch it. Actually, even if it wasn't your father, there were plenty of men in the village who would have been eager to do things for her, just for a chance to talk to her. 。"It's precisely because of this that I feel even worse!"

Wang Cuifen's expression seemed to be lost in a memory from the past, her eyes filled with hatred that pierced to the bone. Looking at her, Gu Keyu couldn't help but feel deep pity for her.

She was consumed by jealousy, tormenting herself over and over for her whole life, ultimately ending up like this. What was the point of it allGu Ke Yu involuntarily shook her head, sighing: "Then what What happened next"Wang Cui Fen narrowed her eyes, thinking carefully, a hint of resentment in her gaze: "To be honest with you, before she came here, I was the most beautiful woman in the village..." 。" I look handsome, and passersby would often glance at me more than once. I was proud of myself, and the girls in the village secretly envied me "

"All of this makes me so satisfied!" "But then what Then..." When she got to the exciting part, Wang Cuifen stopped completely, breathing heavily, as if she was about to pass out. 。Just when Gu Ke'yu was a little scared, she suddenly cheered up: "Until she came to the village, I realized what it meant to be worlds apart! I thought I looked pretty good, but compared to her, I was completely outshined!" "The villagers used to just give me a few glances, but ever since she arrived, they look at her like they've lost their souls..." 。However, I am in a very miserable situation. I used to be surrounded by people, but after that, I've been completely neglected. 。Even now, Wang Cuifen seems to be able to remember that at the time, there were still people whispering behind them, discussing their beauty. 。"How could Wang Cuifen compare to a fairy Let me tell you, she wouldn't even be worthy of tying someone else's shoes!" 。"Similar to this, Wang Cuifen would hear many times. " 。Since she had been pampered for so long, how could she stand it So she began to envy her and secretly cursed her from behind. 。qing saw Xu Zui'ning, her eyes finally lit up with a glimmer of hope. She immediately reached out and grabbed Xu Zui'ning's hand, speaking anxiously, "Zui'ning, I'm so worried about my boyfriend Yi Zh...
