Chapter 1191: Gu Ming also holds resentnt in his heart
Yes, Gu Ming harbors resentnt in his heart.
Gu Ming is caught between the pressure of the clan elders and Yang iyin forcing him to marry because of her pregnancy. If only Hai Xue had held on a bit longer and stood by him to defend their family, perhaps it wouldn’t have fallen apart. At the very least, with him around, Yang iyin wouldn’t have had the opportunity.
Upon seeing the divorce agreent signed by Hai Xue, his resentnt towards her hit a peak. If she had agreed to divorce, what was left for him to hold on to?
Therefore, fueled by anger, he signed his na on the divorce papers.
At the sa ti, he knew full well the depth of Hai Xue’s love for him. If she believed her presence might ruin his future, she would certainly leave.
Retirent alone wouldn’t affect him too much, but being discharged would be devastating. Hai Xue’s decision to leave must have been based on the belief that staying would impact his future rather than the clan elders’ claim that she left because he got too close to Yang iyin.
So, Hai Xue’s departure wasn’t just because of the family, Yang iyin, or her status, but also because of a Gui Xiaofeng?
Hai Xue nodded, "Yes. Gui Xiaofeng told I was discharged and almost accused of being a spy. She suggested I leave and go back to the countryside to lay low, and even helped buy a train ticket—"
Back then, if Gui Xiaofeng hadn’t told her she was discharged and almost labeled a spy, and if not for Old Sir Ye’s help, she wouldn’t have just left Gu Ming so readily and returned to Hai Village.
Indeed!
Gu Ming was speechless at Hai Xue’s actions, "Why didn’t you co to and ask?"
"You were on a three-month mission then, even I didn’t know where you were, how could I ask?" Hai Xue replied discontentedly, "I was terrified and at a loss at the ti. Soone gave advice supposedly for my own good, so naturally, I listened."
"For your own good?"
Hai Xue gave a bitter smile, "Now I know she harbored ill intentions. But back then—" She was so confused that she couldn’t tell.
Gu Ming suddenly felt deep hatred for Gui Xiaofeng: His decades of emotional desert life were all thanks to her.
Hai Xue rembered sothing, "Right, I have that golden lock, and Gui Xiaofeng knows it. Do you think the incident with my gold lock being exposed was her doing?"
It turns out that the source of all his and Hai Xue’s tragedies stemd from Gui Xiaofeng.
He would never let her go!
Hai Xue was puzzled, "Wasn’t it Yang iyin who sent the people to expose my overseas connections? Did Gui Xiaofeng tell Yang iyin about my golden lock?"
She recalled sothing else, "At first, the people of Hai Village didn’t know I was ’discharged’ and returned. They thought I was just retired and treated like any ordinary mber.
But when Gui Xiaofeng ca to see , she ’accidentally’ let slip in front of the villagers, letting them know I was ’discharged.’ So—"
Hai Xue stopped, but Gu Ming understood: Because of Gui Xiaofeng’s ’accidental’ leak of false information, Hai Xue’s life in Hai Village likely beca difficult.
In fact, though it was Gui Xiaofeng’s careless revelation that exposed Hai Xue’s discharge from the army, she never blad Gui Xiaofeng back then.
To Hai Xue, her discharge was sothing that couldn’t be hidden for long and would eventually co to light, so Gui Xiaofeng’s ’leak’ just made the village aware of it sooner.
