4666 Never Too Late to Love (73)

Gu Xinghan said coldly, "Didn't Mom say that she's almost forgotten about Second Brother?"

Chu He glared at him again. "Gu Xinghan! Why do you have so much to say?"

"HIA HIA HIA! I just pity my second brother. He doesn't have any presence at all."

Before Gu Xinghan could finish speaking, he quickly dodged. As expected, Chu He threw her phone at him. As he dodged, he reached out and accurately caught the phone she threw at him.

"Mom, your temper is getting worse. Is menopause catching up with you?"

As soon as Gu Xinghan finished speaking, Chu He suddenly stood up, looking furious. "What's wrong? Are you itching for a beating? I haven't dealt with you in a few days. Are you getting arrogant?"

"Um… I'm going upstairs to read." Gu Xinghan said resentfully and walked around her to go upstairs.

Gu Linxi looked at Chu He, who was running upstairs after his brother, and shook his head with exasperation. "Xinghan is at a rebellious age."

Chu He was infuriated. "Going through menopause? More like he's going through a rebellious phase!"

Oooh… The mention of menopause seemed to have hit her where it hurt.

For a while, Chu He's temper had been particularly bad, and she had been suffering from insomnia. When Gu Jinglian brought her to the hospital, they said that she was hitting menopause and this was a normal reaction.

To tell a woman that menopause has arrived is like telling a man, "You can no longer make it."

It causes the same critical damage.

Chu He nearly created a scene in the doctor's office. She said, "Menopause?! I'm still young!"

Imagine, a woman in her forties saying that she was still young. In the clinic, the doctors huddled together, trembling. They looked at the furious woman and dared not say anything.

Afraid of angering her, Gu Jinglian did not say anything there and then. When he returned home, he took advantage of Chu He's absence to mention this matter to Gu Linxi and Gu Xinghan. He was laughing so hard that he was almost out of breath.

It was hard for him. His desire to live was so strong that he had to suppress his laughter along the way home to avoid being abused by his wife. He even had to pretend to be calm during dinner.

He imitated Chu He and said, "I'm still young! Hahahaha! She's already in her forties, yet she still thinks she's a young lady?"

Of course, Chu He had no idea that her husband was badmouthing her behind her back. For the past decade or so, Chu He had felt that time was passing abnormally quickly. It went so quickly she could not even feel the changes. More than ten years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Sometimes, feeling sad was inevitable. More than ten years had passed too quickly! In another decade or so, she and her husband would be even older.

It's not that people fear old age. Rather, the older one gets, one begins to miss more things and people. When one is young, one is high-spirited. When one gets slightly older, one has more things to worry about.

Chu He sat down in her seat. Gu Linxi walked over and patted her back gently. "Mom, sometimes, don't hold back. Hit him if you want to. That kid has thick skin and can withstand your beating."

"I'm afraid that when I can't hit him anymore, he'll hit me."

"Do you think my father is so full of kindness? No matter how old he is, a slap from him and that kid won't be able to stand back up."

"…" She asked, "Why did you suddenly mention Chengze?"

"Well…"

The conversation was leading back to the topic. Gu Linxi hesitated whether he should say it.
