Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 902: Chapter 902: Can’t Get Through This

Gu Lingling wasn’t sure what was happening; it was during Zhao Jingmiao’s last visit to the Capital City with a man named Liu Guozhu that left a deep impression on her.

Although Liu Guozhu appeared simple and honest on the surface, his eyes revealed an inherent shrewdness, especially after learning that Zhao Xuefei excelled at Kyoto University and would definitely enter the government.

Zhao Jingmiao was too busy being proud at the time to notice his expression, but Gu Lingling saw it clearly.

She didn’t have a great impression of him then, but since Zhao Jingmiao said they were just ordinary friends, she didn’t think much of it; after all, they didn’t interact much.

She never expected that Zhao Jingmiao would say she wanted to marry Liu Guozhu at this time.

”Is there something going on?” Gu Lingling asked.

”I don’t know, no matter how we ask, she won’t tell us anything. She just lies in bed, not eating or fussing.” Where’s the joy of being a bride?

Moreover, according to her mother, just a while ago Zhao Jingmiao was very happy telling her about a boy she had met, who was very nice to her and even willing to help her support her brother’s education.

Zhao Jingmiao even laughed and said that she wanted to get married once Zhao Xuefei graduated and started working.

But now, he is still far from graduation, and Zhao Jingmiao suddenly says she wants to get married? And it’s not with the guy named Lei she mentioned before.

No matter who asks her, she stays silent, lying motionless on her bed.

With no solutions, Zhao Xuefei had to seek help from Gu Lingling.

When Gu Lingling and he returned to the Zhao Family in Nanshui Village, they indeed saw Gu Chunmei sitting worriedly in the courtyard. Seeing Gu Lingling, she happily ran over and whispered, pointing to the door, ”She’s been in the room since Xuefei left. You should go check on her.”

She then called out loudly inside, ”Miao Miao, Lingling’s here to see you.”

When Gu Lingling went in, Zhao Jingmiao was already sitting up, tidying her disheveled hair.

In Gu Lingling’s impression, she was always like this, never showing her pain no matter how much she felt inside, burying everything in her heart.

”I’m fine.” She forced a smile when she saw her come in.

”Can’t you tell me?” Gu Lingling asked with concern.

Zhao Jingmiao remained silent.

Gu Lingling approached and hugged her, ”Cousin, we’re family.”

As soon as she said that, Zhao Jingmiao hugged her tightly, followed by suppressed sobs,

Even holding back her tears, Gu Lingling felt pain in her heart.

Ever since they got kicked out and settled in Nanshui Village, Zhao Jingmiao had practically taken on the responsibility for the entire family, putting too much pressure on herself.

”Let it out, cry as loud as you can.” Gu Lingling patted her back and said.

Outside, Gu Chunmei wanted to enter, but Zhao Xuefei stopped her, shook his head, and led her to the backyard.

Being able to cry is a good thing.

”Cousin, nothing is insurmountable.” As her cries subsided, Gu Lingling gently patted her back and said, ”We’re a family, tell us, and we’ll figure it out together.”

”I can’t get through this.” Zhao Jingmiao cried even harder, clinging to Gu Lingling in heartache.

”I can’t get through it, I can’t...”

”What can’t you get through?” Gu Lingling asked.

”Don’t ask, don’t ask.” She became agitated, shaking her head vigorously, ”Don’t ask.”

”Alright, I won’t ask, I won’t ask anymore.” Gu Lingling held her close, patting her back.

Then, as her hand moved, she accidentally noticed Zhao Jingmiao’s neck.

On it, there were small red marks...
