Lin Zhihua transmigrated into a cliché novel world. On her 18th birthday, her childhood sweetheart, who was about to confess his feelings, was hit by a tricycle and fell into a ditch. After gettin...
Chapter 22 Successful Divorce【VIP】
Gu Shaochen looked at her unkindly for three seconds, then sneered, "Song Lansheng thinks that asking Grandpa will help? Doesn't she know that Grandpa will never let her take Chang'an away?"
"Perhaps?" Lin Zhihua's smile remained unchanged as she turned to look at Bai Qingying. "At least it can give Young Master Gu some peace of mind."
She couldn't take the child away, and Gu Shaochen couldn't bring Bai Qingying into the Gu family.
Gu Shaochen frowned, and before he could speak, Bai Qingying beside him gently pulled his hand.
"Shaochen."
Gu Shaochen lowered his head and kissed her hair, whispering soothingly: "Don't worry, Ying, I won't let you leave me again."
Bai Qingying's eyes were filled with emotion and she smiled faintly. She whispered something in Gu Shaochen's ear. Gu Shaochen's anger disappeared and he hugged her in ecstasy.
"Ying'er, are you, are you telling the truth?" His breathing suddenly became rapid, and his face looked nervous and excited.
Bai Qingying's eyes curved into crescents, filled with joy, and she nodded under Gu Shaochen's expectant gaze.
Everyone in the room was puzzled, wondering what she had said to make the man so excited, even to the point of losing his composure.
Lin Zhi had a puzzled look on his face, but he still fought for Song Lansheng's own interests.
"Mr. Gu, we still hope that you can reconsider the custody issue. Chang'an is only two months old. Children of this age will invariably be awarded to their mothers by the court."
"Chang'an is Miss Song's bottom line. For the sake of her children, she will never agree to a divorce. Even if you force her to go to the divorce registration office, you won't be able to complete the divorce procedures."
This time, Gu Shaochen did not refuse immediately, or perhaps his mind was no longer on the marriage negotiations.
His eyes wandered.
Ying Er said they could have their own children.
If she is pregnant with his child, grandpa will have no reason to stop them from being together, right?
Bai Qingying slightly widened her eyes, bit her lower lip and whispered, "Achen, it's too cruel to separate the mother and the child. Miss Song is so pitiful, let's give the child to her. Having An An by her side will be a comfort to Miss Song."
A hint of uneasiness flashed in her eyes, and she blushed as she whispered, "This way everyone gets what they want, and Shaochen is free too."
Gu Shaochen's mind is now filled with the woman in front of him. If Song Lansheng's son still stays in the Gu family, he will definitely compete with him and Ying'er's children for the family property in the future.
Thinking of this, Gu Shaochen's face turned cold. He picked up the divorce agreement without hesitation and signed his name.
"Our Ying'er is kindhearted," Gu Shaochen looked at Bai Qingying with eyes as gentle as water. He took out his phone and sent a message to Song Lansheng, "I'm going to the Civil Affairs Bureau with her to divorce now, and I'll accompany my baby to the hospital tomorrow."
"Shaochen, what about Grandpa?" Bai Qingying didn't look happy, but looked at him nervously, "Grandpa will definitely not agree to your divorce if he knows."
Gu Shaochen's eyes became softer. This little fool always thinks about himself in everything.
He smiled carefreely, his voice filled with a sense of ease and joy, "Grandpa is old now, and I'm no longer the helpless little kid I used to be."
After years of hard work, he has cultivated a group of his own team. After he got married, his grandfather let go completely. Now he is the one who makes the decisions for the entire Gu family, and he has long been powerful enough to challenge his grandfather.
Otherwise, why has Bai Qingying been back in China for so long, but the old man is still kept in the dark?
He is the only grandson of the Gu family. Although his grandfather seems strict, he has no choice but to obey him in the end. He hides the truth from the old man because he doesn't want to irritate him and change his attitude. He wants Bai Qingying to enter the Gu family with a legitimate reason.
Holding the signed divorce agreement, Lin Zhihua showed her first genuine smile of the afternoon.
Their eyes met inadvertently, and Bai Qingying looked away without leaving a trace.
At the other end of the villa, Song Lansheng packed her luggage early. When she saw the message on her mobile phone, she put the child in Aunt Yun's arms.
"Thank you, Aunt Yun." Song Lansheng took a few steps back, bent down towards Aunt Yun, and bowed deeply.
"Madam, what are you doing?" Aunt Yun stood up in a panic.
Song Lansheng expressed his gratitude sincerely, with a glimmer in his smiling eyes: "Thank you for taking such good care of me and the baby these days."
Thank you also for not telling Mr. Gu about our divorce.
Aunt Yun understood what Song Lansheng hadn't said yet. She also liked this child from the bottom of her heart and couldn't bear to see her being tortured in the Gu family.
"Go, and come back early." A smile appeared in Aunt Yun's eyes.
Song Lansheng got in the car. She looked out the window, watching the sky getting higher and higher. She felt very calm, with only one thought in her mind.
It will be a nice day tomorrow.
.
"If neither party withdraws their application within the one-month cooling-off period, the system will handle the matter impartially.
He left without any regrets.
Rest, the flight is at 8 o'clock, I will take An An home tonight.
Looking at Song Lansheng's departing back, Gu Shaochen felt empty in his heart and inexplicably irritated.
The woman who had always said she loved him was now too stingy to even glance at him. Wasn't she just wanting him to take the initiative to keep her?
Gu Shaochen sneered, retracted his gaze, and strode out of the divorce registration office.
After sending Song Lansheng to the airport, it was already dark.
"Mr. Lin, the process from negotiation to divorce this afternoon was too smooth, wasn't it?" Ye Qianxi retracted her gaze, with a look of confusion and inquiry in her eyes, and her hands unconsciously rubbed her chin lightly.
Lin Zhihua smiled faintly and said to Secretary Ye, "I used a little trick."
Facing those eyes full of curiosity, Lin Zhihua kept the question a secret. "Why do you think we had to go this afternoon, and 'just happened' to run into his sweetheart?"
"Did you bribe that green tea?" Ye Qianxi suddenly realized.
Lin Zhihua shook her head. They just took what they needed.
Bai Qingying wants to become Mrs. Gu and is eager for Gu Shaochen to divorce her as soon as possible. Now that her fertility problem has been solved, she will of course actively cooperate with Lin Zhihua's "little hint".
The divorce should be done sooner rather than later. If it is any later, it will be troublesome once Gu Shaochen reacts. When Old Master Gu receives the news, he will also take the initiative to stop it and will need Gu Shaochen's cooperation to cover it up.
The cooling-off period for a divorce requires one month, so she needs to stabilize these two people first.
Lin Zhihua's heart trembled slightly, and she picked up her phone and dialed a number. "I can help you with the land in the south of the city. You can find a way to block Gu's project approval process."
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No problem, it's a deal."
Find something for Gu Shaochen to do. How can such a good CEO have his mind filled with love affairs?
Lin Zhihua smiled slyly.
"Thank you very much."
"Hey, wait, Xiao Zhihua, don't hang up yet. Tell me how that guy offended you?" The usually difficult President Lin finally gave in. The exchange he proposed was actually to trip someone up. Driven by curiosity, Ji Lingxiao couldn't help but ask.
"Stop gossiping, I just don't like him." Without giving the other party a chance to speak, Lin Zhihua hung up the phone, making Ji Lingxiao even more curious.
"Everyone likes to keep us in suspense." Ji Lingxiao muttered softly, unwilling to put down his phone.
It was getting late, so Lin Zhihua and Ye Qianxi said goodbye at the airport and drove home.
Lin Zhihua opened the door, but did not see Lawyer Fu, whom she had been worried about all day. The villa was dark and even the breathing light was off. Xiaofu did not even come to the door to welcome her home.
What's going on?
She felt doubtful and a little uneasy, worried that there was something wrong with the circuit or the network.
She put her bag away, turned on the flashlight, and used the faint white light to feel for the light switch at the entrance.
Logically speaking, even if there was a power outage, there was a backup power supply in the villa, and Xiaofu could have contacted her when the Internet was disconnected, but he didn't send her any abnormal information all day.
The light from the mobile phone swept across the ground, and Lin Zhihua saw a rose petal with her sharp eyes.
My heart skipped a beat. This is...
The living room was suddenly lit up with soft lights. It was not the glaring incandescent light above, but dozens of candle wicks that suddenly lit up from the ground, dyeing the entire space with a gentle amber color.
Lin Zhihua widened her eyes in surprise.
The entire living room floor is covered with red and pink roses. From a distance, it looks like you are in a sea of roses, and the roses are shining like a dream under the light of candles.
There were more than a dozen pink and white heart-shaped balloons floating on the ceiling, and under each balloon was a small photo folder hanging, which contained photos of her and Fu Shengyan from childhood to adulthood.
She looked closely and saw photos of them making faces on a carousel, the backs of the two of them walking to school side by side with their small backpacks on their backs, and even a selfie of him drawing a turtle on her while she was sleeping.
When did Fu Shengyan take this photo?
Lin Zhihua puffed out his cheeks, a trace of shame and anger flashed across his face.
"Squeak, happy birthday."
A familiar voice came from the kitchen. Lin Zhihua turned her head and saw Fu Shengyan slowly walking towards her, holding a large bouquet of champagne roses. Behind him, Xiaofu followed closely, holding a cake.
His hair was obviously carefully groomed, and his eyes shone with a light softer than candlelight.
"Today is not my birthday." Lin Zhihua took the bouquet and curled her lips slightly.
"This is the compensation given to you by the eighteen-year-old Fu Shengyan." The corners of his lips rose, and there was a hint of imperceptible tension in his eyes.
"Tang Yuan and the others had already helped decorate the small greenhouse that day, and were just waiting for me to take you there to give you a surprise." There was a hint of regret in his tone. Lin Zhihua already knew what happened next. Fu Shengyan had lost his memory, and neither of them could have a complete birthday that day.
What Fu Shengyan didn't tell her was that he actually went to the small greenhouse after being discharged from the hospital.
The roses all over the room were a little wilted, and many of the hydrogen balloons had leaked due to being there for too long, so they floated very low, and some even fell to the ground.
Fu Shengyan picked up the photo and took it home and hid it in a drawer. He didn't tell anyone about it and only wrote a sentence in his diary.
——She and I feel like strangers. I don’t know why I feel sad.
He pulled a small velvet box from his pocket and said with a smile, "I had originally planned to prepare a surprise for you in the greenhouse, but I didn't expect it to have been demolished a few years ago."
A small jade bracelet lay quietly on the velvet, its snow-white color tinged with a hint of warmth, and its entire body was flowing with a warm, smooth sheen.
This was the dowry that Old Lady Fu had prepared for her future granddaughter-in-law long ago. He used it as a coming-of-age gift for Lin Zhihua with some unspeakable thoughts.
He took a deep breath, his voice lower than usual, with a slight tremor, "Although it's seven years late, I still want to ask, Zhizhi, will you be my girlfriend?"
