In her past life, her family was destroyed and she died tragiously on the open sea.
Reborn in a new life, what bad intentions could Shangguan Wu possibly have? She simply wants to take reveng...
Gu Yilou suddenly turned around.
Seeing his friend's frosty expression, Gu Yilou handed him the phone.
No wonder he was furious. If their roles were reversed, he would definitely settle accounts with that brat too!
Qin Yiheng answered the phone, looked at his friend who was full of worry, turned around and asked as he walked away, "Are you coming back to talk to me now, or are you going to talk to your father-in-law later?"
Gu Yunzhen on the other end of the phone narrowed her dark eyes slightly.
Talking to my father-in-law?
It was definitely not an ordinary topic; it was related to the person in his arms.
"Hold on."
Gu Yunzhen hung up the phone, and in the dim light of the phone, he looked down at Shangguan Wu's peaceful sleeping face. Then he gently removed her slender arm from his body. After waiting for a while and seeing that she hadn't woken up, he got up and got out of bed.
After leaving the room, Gu Yunzhen dialed his older brother's number.
After the call connected, he spoke in a low voice: "Brother Heng, what's the matter? Tell me."
Qin Yiheng's tone was cold: "You knew I was at Gu Garden, yet you took your cousin to other places. Are you feeling guilty?"
Feeling guilty?
A glint of light flashed in Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes as he calmly retorted, "What makes you say that, Brother Heng?"
"Don't try to fool me!"
Qin Yiheng sneered from the phone: "I'm asking you, did you marry my cousin to cure your leg?"
Gu Yunzhen's gaze turned cold.
"Yes." He initially agreed to marry her to cure his leg.
"It's good that you admit it. Will you bring your cousin back, or should I go pick her up myself?"
Gu Yunzhen's temples throbbed, a vague sense of unease creeping in. She tentatively asked, "What does Heng-ge mean?"
Qin Yiheng sensed the probing in his tone and thought to himself: This brat has his moments of fear too?
Should!
“Now that your leg has healed, my cousin should naturally go home. Her parents want her to come back to the Qin family home for a year or two.
Gu Yunzhen flatly refused: "No way!"
Qin Yiheng chuckled coolly, "It's not as simple as you saying it can't be done."
Finally, he asked, feigning ignorance, "So, you like her now?"
"Not now."
Gu Yunzhen pressed his temples; he had forgotten something very important!
His and her divorce agreement.
This brother-in-law probably saw it.
But he can't take his wife away with just a piece of paper!
Qin Yiheng casually asked, "When was that?"
"I don't know." Gu Yunzhen truly didn't know when she had taken her to heart.
He initially despised her for forcing him into marriage, and her deliberate seduction only fueled his anger. Yet, she was always there for him like a little sun, always surprising him with her every outing, showing concern for his injuries, and risking her life for him...
One by one, these events surfaced in my mind and were etched in my heart, seemingly confirming the saying: Love arises without knowing its origin, and deepens with each passing moment.
Gu Yunzhen snapped out of her daze and said in an unquestionable tone, "Brother Heng, she is my life. I can't send her back."
There was a two-second silence on the phone.
Qin Yiheng pressed the record button on the screen and chuckled, "Your life? You've only known each other for less than three months, right? She's already become your life?"
Gu Yunzhen lowered her eyes: "It has nothing to do with time. If it's not the right person, even if you've known each other for thirty or fifty years, you won't be together."
Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow; he agreed with this view.
However, Qin Yiheng was not so easily appeased. He said calmly, "You and my cousin didn't have a wedding, did you? Can a man who can't even give the woman he loves a wedding say he likes her?"
Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Since he wants to spend his life with her, a wedding is definitely in order.
It just hasn't been mentioned yet.
Now that his brother-in-law brought it up, he promised, "She will have everything that other women have, and she will also have things that other women don't have. I will make her the enviable Fourth Madam Gu."
Qin Yiheng turned his head to look at Gu Yilou. "Is this your fourth brother who can't speak?"
Gu Yilou was stunned for a moment, then smiled silently.
He said that his fourth brother's feelings for his fourth sister-in-law were genuine!
Qin Yiheng clicked his tongue: "Anyone can say nice things. Come pick up my cousin after you've done it!"
Gu Yunzhen's voice deepened: "Brother Heng, I didn't agree."
Qin Yiheng scoffed, "What, you really want your father-in-law to see that divorce agreement?"
Gu Yunzhen remained silent, his thin lips pressed into a cold, straight line.
Qin Yiheng gave you a slap on the wrist and then offered a sweet treat, saying, "Don't be upset. My cousin liked you first, didn't she? With your cold face that seems to want women to stay a hundred meters away from you, she must have suffered a lot of grievances."
Do you know the Han family? They bullied my older cousin. Although my younger cousin taught them a lesson, they still kept causing trouble. My dad took action and kicked the Han family out of the country. They can forget about ever coming back!
"Gu Si, you've been watched grow up by the elders of the Qin family. They treat you no differently than their own son. Your brother trusts your character, which is why he's giving you this opportunity. From dating to marriage, you must follow the rules at every step, understand?"
Gu Yunzhen frowned deeply. He knew how terrible he had been at the beginning, and Wu Bao had indeed suffered a lot of injustice.
But he had been separated from her for a long time, and after finally finding her and bringing her back, he had to separate from her again?
"Do we absolutely have to bring them back?"
"Absolutely! My aunt's three daughters are daughters of the Qin family. Do you think it's so easy to marry a daughter of the Qin family?"
If Gu Yilou hadn't been watching over him the whole time, Qin Yiheng wouldn't have bothered with all that nonsense and would have gone over and taken the person away himself long ago!
Qin Yiheng reminded him, "Don't tell your little cousin about this. Just tell her that her grandparents miss her and want her to stay with them for a while, and she will agree."
He didn't want to agree! Gu Yunzhen asked, "How long is 'a period of time'?"
Qin Yiheng immediately laughed in anger: "Then let's see how sincere you are! I need to see him by noon tomorrow at the latest."
After saying that, he ended the call immediately.
Qin Yiheng tossed his phone to Gu Yilou so suddenly that Gu Yilou almost missed it.
Gu Yilou gave a wry smile: "If you're angry, don't take it out on me!"
Qin Yiheng glared at him: "If you break it, I'll give you ten or eight new phones."
Gu Yilou's lips twitched: "What would I need so many phones for?"
Before he could speak, he continued, "I know you feel sorry for your fourth sister-in-law, but you made this decision for her without asking her opinion. Are you sure she'll be happy?"
Suddenly, Qin Yiheng narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Are you happy?"
Gu Yilou was puzzled: "What does this have to do with me?"
Qin Yiheng took a step closer to him: "Back then, your grandfather, to repay a debt of gratitude, sent out wedding invitations everywhere without asking your opinion, forcing you to marry the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Were you happy?"
Gu Yilou was suddenly stunned.
Qin Yiheng took another step closer to him.
Looking at the face so close to his, Gu Yilou snapped out of his daze, turned his head to look at the night outside the window, his expression complicated.
"The old man asked for my opinion back then."
