Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 765: Chapter 759: Luu Xiao’ai’s Heartache

“Xiao’ai, if Molin truly loved you, I wouldn’t say another word. But he doesn’t love you, so please try to understand.” Miao Qingqing looked at Luu Xiao’ai while holding her child.

She always thought that this girl was too persistent, which made it difficult for her to know what to say to her. Because she had also been stubborn in the past, and even now she hadn’t let go of some things in her heart. So how could she persuade Luu Xiao’ai? She just hoped that Xiao’ai would eventually see reason.

“Mrs. Chu, don’t say anything more. I understand what you mean. We’ll leave now. Sorry for the trouble.” Luu Xiao’ai tried to hold back her tears as she said her goodbyes. She didn’t want to cry in front of the Chus.

“I’m truly sorry.” Miao Qingqing apologized to the departing grandfather and granddaughter duo at the door.

Luu Xiao’ai paused for a moment, then left without saying anything, and only after they stepped out did her tears break through the dam, as she realized she’d already lost this battle.

“Girl, are you alright? Why did you stop me earlier? I’m going to go back and confront them! This is too much! What do they think our family’s treasure is worth?” Grandpa Luu, seeing his precious granddaughter crying so heartbroken, wanted to go back and confront Chu Zhan and his family. Why should they be allowed a peaceful life? Even if they didn’t end up together, they should still cause them some heartache. In this moment, Grandpa Luu didn’t have the composure of a military man, only the pain of seeing his beloved granddaughter hurt.

...
“Grandpa, don’t go. Let’s go home.” Luu Xiao’ai stopped her grandfather’s movement. Just like Mrs. Chu said, Molin didn’t love her. Even if they were forced to be together, they wouldn’t be happy. By that time, she would be the most heartbroken, because she would have to constantly face a husband who loved someone else. Knowing the outcome, what good would her persistence do? It would be better to let go, but how could she do that when her heart was in such pain?

“But, you…” Realizing Luu Xiao’ai’s situation, Grandpa Luu wanted to grab Chu Molin and ask him why he didn’t like his wonderful granddaughter, why he made her so sad.

Seeing his granddaughter like this now, however, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. Did he make a mistake? He shouldn’t have agreed to her proposal to become engaged to the Chu family’s son.

But it was too late for regrets now. Seeing his granddaughter cry so heartbroken, he felt anguished too.

As soon as they arrived home, Luu Xiao’ai went straight to her room, locking herself away to nurse her wounds. Her youthful love had come to an end without any warning. Just yesterday, she was thinking about how to get closer to Qin Xue, how to approach Molin. But today, after hearing Mrs. Chu’s words, she realized how naive her thoughts were.

Only after being awakened by Mrs. Chu’s words did she realize how ridiculous she had been. What did all these years of waiting mean? Who could tell her?

Mrs. Luu wanted to ask about the situation when her husband and granddaughter returned from the Chus, but her granddaughter had run straight to her room as soon as she entered the house, so she could only look to her husband.

“How did it go at the Chus’? Why did Xiao’ai go straight to her room when she came back? Was a resolution not reached?” Mrs. Luu thought that the only possibility would be that the talks hadn’t gone well, given how heartbroken her granddaughter looked.

“We didn’t meet anyone except for Mr. Chu and his wife. They had a conversation with Xiao’ai. Sigh.” Mr. Luu suddenly felt that young people nowadays were very different from their generation. Back then, everyone followed their families’ arrangements for marriage. No one had the luxury of choosing for themselves.

“What about Xiao’ai then…?” Mrs. Luu asked after hearing her husband’s words.

“Let her think about it first. Let’s see what she says. If she still wants Molin, I’ll swallow my pride and beg for her sake.” Mr. Luu thought about his granddaughter, who had grown up under their care, and felt extremely distressed for her.

“This Chu family is going too far. If they didn’t agree back then, they shouldn’t have accepted the engagement. Now they’re just turning it into a joke at our family’s expense.” Mrs. Luu complained angrily.
