Chapter 387: Hitting the Heart

he car window curtain and glanced at the closed gate. On the day her married daughter returned home, not a single person from the sect was waiting at the door. It was obvious that they hadn't made any...Meng Jin Yao curiously asked, "Auntie, how did that old woman go crazy"

Seeing the sound, the old woman turned her head and glanced at her. When she saw the couple's appearance, she was astonished, but at her age, seeing beautiful people could also calm down. She quickly retracted her gaze and said to her, "My wife has been doing well all the time. Her body is not seriously ill. Just one day she suddenly woke up and didn't recognize anyone, even her own children. She even said she was only six years old. What's even more strange is that she calls her eldest grandson father. Hearing it seems like the eldest grandson looks a bit like her father."

Meng Jin Yao exclaimed in surprise, “How is this possible”

That aunt sighed softly, "Who knows The doctor said it's senility. Older people get this disease, and it comes on suddenly. There's no cure for it. It's been a year now, and he's still the same. He seems even worse."

Meng Jinyao nodded in understanding.

At that moment, seeing that the old man couldn't handle the old woman, and knowing he was too old to pull her along, the aunt stepped forward to help. She tried to persuade the old woman, coaxing her by saying they would take her home to find her father with the old man.

The old woman originally refused, but everyone in the neighborhood knew them. They pitied this elderly couple and helped persuade her, so the old woman finally believed that the old man was not a human trafficker and would not sell children. Reluctantly, she agreed to go back with him, and then made a request: "You said, a candied hawthorn..."

The old man, seeing that she was willing to go home, nodded with relief: "Good, good, I'll buy it for you right away. After buying it, we'll go home obediently and find our father."

The old man finished speaking and immediately went to the nearby stall selling candied haws, bought a string of them, and handed them to his wife.

The old woman took the candied hawthorn, wanting to eat it but hesitating. She licked the candied hawthorn, tasting its sweetness and smiling like a child. Then she reached out her hand for the old man to hold.

Seeing this, the old man reached out and took her hand, walking her home together.

Meng Jin Yao watched the elderly couple walk away slowly, their backs gradually fading into the distance. Only then did she notice that the old woman had a flower hairpin in her hair, and it was a fresh, real flower.

She felt a pang of envy. The old grandfather must love the grandmother very much. Even though the grandmother acted childish and made a fuss, he was still patient and would even go out of his way to please her. This kind of love is rare in the world, hard to come by. If you find it, it's a blessing for a lifetime.

Gu Jingxi was also looking at the elderly couple, but his thoughts were different from his wife's. He thought that he was much older than Ayao, what if he suddenly got sick one day He couldn't imagine himself and Ayao arguing and looking for their father and mother. He couldn't even imagine himself calling his son or grandson "father" one day, becoming like this, even if Ayao didn't dislike him, he would dislike himself.

Meng Jin Yao retracted her gaze and saw that her husband was still looking at the elderly couple. She said, "Husband, they are very happy. They must love each other very much."

Gu Jingxi nodded, "Hmm," feeling like he was back in the capital. He wanted to ask Doctor Wen, how older people should prevent this kind of illness. He would take good precautions in the future.

Meng Jingyao said again, "Husband, let's go and have a look over there."

On the other hand, after Mei Qingyun got into the carriage, her face turned sullen. The gentle demeanor she had moments ago vanished, and she didn't even glance at her husband.

When Wei saw this, a smirk of triumph crossed his face.

He knew why Mei Qingyun was angry, but he did it on purpose. Taking advantage of today's day off and receiving news that Gu Jingxi and his wife had gone out, he dragged Mei Qingyun out, trying every means to deliberately run into Gu Jingxi and his wife. Unexpectedly, he really ran into them.

And Gu Jingxi's performance just now didn't disappoint him, it even exceeded his expectations.

Gu Jingxi's tenderness and care for Mrs. Gu are admirable. This is a good way to stimulate Mei Qingyun, allowing her to see how much Gu Jingxi truly loves his wife compared to the man she has cherished for over a decade.

Master Wei was in a good mood and didn't mind his wife giving him the cold shoulder.

The carriage stopped in front of the Wei residence.

Mei Qingyun took a deep breath, immediately changing her expression back to that of a dignified and gentle Mrs. Wei. After her husband alighted from the carriage, she extended her hand to him, allowing him to help her down.

This kind of surface acting, they had already gotten used to it as a couple. They had developed a tacit understanding and in front of others, they were just a loving couple.

With that, Lord Wei immediately reached out and gently helped her down. He softly reminded her, "My lady, please be careful."

Back in their courtyard, Mei Qingyun shut the door and glared at her husband with fury, striding towards him step by step, as if she was about to have a huge argument.

When Wei faced her like this, he surprisingly remained calm. His voice was gentle as he asked, "My wife, for years you've yearned for a man. Now, seeing him being so attentive to another woman, how does that feel"

Mei Qingyun gritted her teeth and said, "Wei Heng, you did this on purpose."

"Wei, with a light chuckle, said: 'So what if it is So what if it isn't' "

He stopped talking and glanced at Mei Qingyun: "Whether it's true or not, the result is what I want. Seeing that you two are fated but incompatible, loving but unable to be together, I find it quite amusing. It's a pity that you're still stuck in the past, while he has already moved on to someone else. He shows such tenderness towards Mrs. Gu, which he has never shown you, right Doesn't this prove that he loves Mrs. Gu more than he loves you"

Upon hearing this, Mei Qingyun's face darkened. When she was engaged to Gu Jingxi, they had met a few times. Gu Jingxi was always polite and respectful, never overstepping any boundaries. However, she could tell that Gu Jingxi was satisfied with her as his fiancée.

Now, Gu Jingxi has become someone else's wife. The happiness that originally belonged to her has become another woman's.

Before she met Gu Jingxi, there wasn't such a feeling of unwillingness in her heart. But after meeting him, the unwillingness in her heart surged like a tidal wave, almost drowning her.

This is really karma, isn't it It's payback for her abandoning Gu Jingxi all those years ago.

Lord Wei coldly watched Mei Qingyun's dejected appearance, watching her regret deeply yet having to accept reality, watching her pain, watching two clear tears slide down her cheeks.

After staring for a while, Lord Wei retracted his gaze and said with schadenfreude, "Poisonous woman, remember this, this is what you deserve. You will spend your whole life in longing and unfulfillment."

Mei Qingyun lifted her misty eyes, seeing her husband looking at her as a victor. His gaze was like looking at a clown. She felt fury welling up inside her and said angrily, "Wei Heng, are you feeling very triumphant now"

Wei, with a smile, said: “When I'm in pain, you rejoice; and when you are in pain, I rejoice. Mei Qingyun, we haven't finished living yet. Let us torment each other slowly.”

Mei Qingyun took a deep breath, forcing back her tears, and quickly put on a charming smile: "Wei Heng, you won't be happy for long."entimental, thinking too much. There was a strange sense of loss again.Gu Jingxi saw her face change several times, but she didn't speak to him. He asked again, "Madam, don't you like it"Meng Jinyao...
