Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path-Chapter 648: Loved Too Much

Gu Lingling didn’t expect to meet Guan Fangbin so soon.

In the canteen, when Guan Fangbin entered with a girl, Gu Lingling and Wen Jing happened to be walking out with their trays.

The four of them bumped into each other right at the door.

Seeing Gu Lingling in that outfit, Guan Fangbin squinted at her, and only then did Gu Lingling take a closer look at the girl standing next to him.

If she wasn’t mistaken, this should be the future wife of Guan Fangbin, the woman who was adored by many but eventually committed suicide by gas.

Her suicide back then was reported extensively in the newspapers, sparking wide societal debate.

Some said she didn’t appreciate her blessings.

Others said she suffered from depression and committed suicide in a moment of despair.

There were also speculations that Guan Fangbin had an affair, which drove her to end her young life in this way.

Speculations were everywhere.

When Gu Lingling saw the newspaper back then, she shook her head for a while.

She loved him too much.

Later, there were reports that it was because Guan Fangbin was too busy earning money and focusing on his business, neglecting his wife’s feelings, leading her to develop postpartum depression.

Just a week before, she even had thoughts of suicide, but Guan Fangbin was too busy to notice his wife’s unusual behavior, which led to that tragedy.

Fortunately, when his wife committed suicide by gas, the nanny and the child were out, or it would have been even more tragic.

However, until Gu Lingling’s death, she never heard of Guan Fangbin remarrying.

Now, the reason she could recognize that the woman was the girl in front of her was because the reports had published her photos from her younger days.

"Do you know me?" The girl’s voice was still coquettish.

Gu Lingling knew this was her natural voice; some people are just born with such a tone, like a certain celebrity in later generations.

"I don’t know you." Gu Lingling shook her head, "Could you let us pass?"

"Oh." The girl apologized with a smile and made way for them, "Sorry about that."

"Brother Guan, what are you looking at?" the girl asked.

"Nothing." Guan Fangbin withdrew his gaze and looked helplessly at the girl, saying, "Xiao Xiao, don’t call me that at school anymore, we’re grown up now."

For some reason, he felt that when Gu Lingling looked at him and Fang Xiaoxiao earlier, there was a richness to her expression.

Was she the one eavesdropping on their conversation just now?

But even if it was her, she shouldn’t have had that kind of expression.

There was regret, a sense of injustice, and disapproval.

Guan Fangbin thought for a moment; it seemed their clothes were of similar colors.

Fang Xiaoxiao pouted and lowered her head in grievance, "I know."

After waiting for a long time, expecting him to continue scolding her, she saw him standing there lost in thought.

"Brother Guan." Fang Xiaoxiao looked up at him, "Weren’t you going to take me to eat?"

"Oh, let’s go." Guan Fangbin came back to his senses and nodded.

"I remember now." Gu Lingling and Wen Jing had walked halfway when Wen Jing suddenly stopped in surprise, "I was wondering why that girl looked so familiar, turns out it’s her."

"You know her?" Gu Lingling asked.

"Not really," Wen Jing said, "I know her, but she doesn’t know me."

"Her family used to be quite wealthy, but during the movement, they were affected and moved to the countryside. They only returned last year, living a few streets ahead of us."

That made sense.

It was said that Guan Fangbin met his wife because her family donated all their assets and went back to the countryside to avoid trouble.
