1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 261 A Chilling Cold

"I will take care of the Du family's affairs as soon as possible, and then I will come to pick you up."

Despite her calm tone, Lu Youyou could detect a hint of grievance in her voice.

She couldn't help but smile, cupped Gu Qingye's face, and gently stroked his chin.

He spent the night at the hospital and didn't have time to groom himself this morning. He had a light stubble on his chin that wasn't prickly but rather pleasant to the touch.

Gu Qingye took this action and rubbed his palm against hers.

"like?"

"Hmmmm~"

Lu Youyou nestled against his chest, gently stroking it: "Guess where my dad's going later?"

"The Gu family."

Lu Youyou smiled gently. Great minds think alike!

She poked Gu Qingye's cheek and teased him.

"Comrade Gu, if you treat me badly in the future, I'll lock the door and let Dad out. Are you scared?"

Gu Qingye grabbed her hand, pulled it to his lips and kissed it: "Don't be afraid, I won't treat you badly, never."

At this time, Lu Youyou had no idea how formidable her father was.

Lu Zhiyu rarely comes out, and knowing that his daughter has been wronged, he naturally won't let it go.

Educating Gu Qingye was just a side effect; settling scores with Gu Bohuai was the top priority.

Du Shuang is, after all, Gu Bohuai's wife. Instead of expecting the younger generation to go through the trouble of taking action, it would be better to directly force Gu Bohuai to choose sides.

He stormed straight to the Gu family's residence. No matter that Gu Bohuai was a general or a soldier, he still cursed him without hesitation.

Gu Bohuai knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't argue and promised to resolve the matter properly.

While things were handled well for Lu Youyou and Gu Qingye, they were naturally very unfriendly to Du Shuang, and could even be described as a bolt from the blue.

"What did you say? Divorce?!"

Du Shuang was stunned by a single sentence as soon as she entered the house.

No matter how panicked and scared she was, she never imagined that Gu Bohuai would directly propose a divorce.

The sudden, piercing ringing in her ears left her with a sliver of hope.

"Bo Huai, what did you just say? Did I mishear you?"

She lunged at Gu Bohuai, clutching his sleeve tightly, trying to find even the slightest trace of a joke on his face.

When she was young, she loved his refined and calm demeanor, but now, looking at his face, which was as calm and unmoving as the deep sea, she felt a chill to the bone.

"We've been married for over twenty years, I've given you my children, and you actually want a divorce? Gu Bohuai, do you have any conscience?!"

At this moment, Du Shuang couldn't remember anything she had done. Her mind and eyes were filled with only one thing: everything she had sought her whole life had vanished into thin air!
She fell in love with Gu Bohuai at first sight when she was young and tried every means to marry him. Over the years, she believed that she had a clear conscience. Why did everything change when Gu Qingye appeared?

Gu Bohuai watched coldly. He knew that Du Shuang was becoming increasingly unreasonable, but how could someone who kept making mistakes dare to question his conscience?

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it."

There was no disappointment in Gu Bohuai's eyes. Ever since he learned the truth, he no longer had any expectations of Du Shuang.

"How dare you mention the child? Did you think about Hongying and the expedition when you were acting recklessly?"

Du Shuang's voice cracked with emotion: "How could I not have thought of that? You've practically emptied the Gu family's coffers and given them away, how dare you criticize me? You've forgotten our child, you've let Yuanzheng down!"

Faced with her unreasonable nagging, Gu Bohuai didn't want to say anything more; people caught up in their obsessions don't even realize they've done anything wrong.

“Hongying and Yuanzheng are adults now, so there’s no need to consider custody. I’ve prepared everything I need for them, and I will always be their father. I’m leaving this savings account to you as compensation.”

Du Shuang's tears poured down like rain, but she suddenly burst into laughter. She didn't even glance at the bankbook, staring directly into Gu Bohuai's eyes. "Should I thank you for being so considerate? Is this how you explain things to us, mother and children? How can you face us like this?"

Gu Bohuai stood up and walked out: "Go and complete the formalities tomorrow. I'll send someone to pick you up in the morning."

This ruthless attack completely shattered Du Shuang's reason, and she grabbed something from the table and started throwing it at Gu Bohuai.

Teacups and vases were shattered all over the floor, but Gu Bohuai remained unmoved, his trouser legs soaked.

He turned around, and Du Shuang's eyes showed nothing but hysterical madness, not a trace of remorse.

Maybe so, but that's just regretting not being more discreet.

"Du Shuang, do you really think you can hide those things from back then forever? What did you do? What did your father and brother do? You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Du Shuang's pupils trembled violently, and the last shred of hope in her heart vanished.

He knew it after all!

Ha, is this karma?
Just because she pursued free love, that woman still wouldn't let her go after more than 20 years?

But Song Jinshu died in childbirth; she was not the murderer!
"Heh, heh heh heh... It's her own bad luck, what right do you have to blame others? It's you who doesn't remember Song Jinshu, it's you who caused her to be stranded outside, the fault lies with you, why are you blaming me for everything?!"

Du Shuang kept repeating the last sentence, as if she were under some kind of spell.

To everyone's surprise, Gu Bohuai nodded.

"It's my fault. I didn't see your true colors. I shouldn't have believed what the Du family said. I'm the one who caused my wife and children to break up. So now I want to correct my mistakes."

Gu Bohuai stepped forward and stood in front of Du Shuang: "I'm not here to discuss this with you, I'm just here to inform you that we're getting a divorce tomorrow."

Du Shuang hysterically smashed everything in front of her to the ground, but still couldn't call Gu Bohuai back.

She seemed to realize only then that the man was truly not going to turn back, and she staggered as she chased after him.

"Bo Huai, Bo Huai, come back... Gu Bo Huai!"

The heart-wrenching cries echoed in the empty house.

It's over, it's over.

The next day

Gu Yuanzheng, who had spent the night having a good time outside, returned home humming a tune, only to be shocked by the scene before him when he opened the door.

The living room was a mess, like the epicenter of an earthquake. Du Shuang sat blankly amidst the ruins, her face covered with dried tear stains.

"Mom?" Gu Yuanzheng called out tremblingly.

Du Shuang's eyes were vacant, as if she hadn't heard a thing.

"Mom, has our house been burgled? Mom, Mom?"

Gu Yuanzheng tiptoed, carefully avoiding the broken porcelain shards and glass scattered on the ground, and gently nudged Du Shuang.

"Say something! What happened? Have you notified my dad?"

He asked for a long time without getting a response, and started to get anxious. He grabbed the phone to call Gu Bohuai.

“Don’t hit…”

The voice, rougher than gravel, startled Gu Yuanzheng. He quickly went around to Du Shuang and asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Du Shuang seemed to have finally regained her senses, grabbing her son's hand and digging her nails deep into his.

"Ah, let go, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!" Gu Yuanzheng screamed in pain.

"Call your sister and tell her to come back right now, hurry up!"

Du Shuang shouted the last few words, her hoarse voice sounding like a vengeful ghost demanding a life.
