Chapter 6 I Want a Divorce
Shen Yubai was fiercely accusing Li Ruchu when he caught a glimpse of Gu Qiuying's slightly trembling shoulders and crystal tears rolling down her fair cheeks.
His heart suddenly tightened, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the heartache instantly surged into his heart like a tide.
His brows were furrowed, and the anger towards Li Ruochu in his eyes was now mixed with a bit of heartache caused by Gu Qiuying's tears.
He turned his head and looked at Li Ruochu with a sharp gaze, his voice becoming colder: "The responsibility for this matter is on you. Qiu Ying has no one to rely on and cannot be fired."
"So, you want to fire me? Just because she's more pitiful than me? I didn't even know that if a person has a dead father or mother, he or she can be protected by others unconditionally. Then can beggars do whatever they want every day without taking any responsibility?"
Li Ruochu widened his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief and anger.
Her chest heaved violently, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying burning anger.
She never thought that Shen Yubai would be so confused about right and wrong. Just because Gu Qiuying was pitiful, he tried to push all the responsibilities onto her.
Thinking back to the past, she despised herself in her heart. She was really blind in the past. She looked at Shen Yubai as if through a thick filter, beautifying all his shortcomings.
Li Ruochu's words caused Gu Qiuying's already low sobs to instantly rise, and there was shock in her tears that was difficult to conceal.
Her eyes were wide open, full of hurt and grievance, and her voice was trembling with tears: "Ruochu, my parents are dead, but you can't use them as a knife to open my scars!"
As she spoke, her shoulders began to tremble more violently, and her whole body was shaky and on the verge of losing her balance. She even leaned towards Shen Yubai's shoulder involuntarily.
Li Ruochu looked at Gu Qiuying's pretentious appearance, and the disgust in his heart grew like weeds.
In front of her, Gu Qiuying dared to show weakness to Shen Yubai so unscrupulously, so who knows what tricks the two of them might play behind her back.
She just felt nauseous and her stomach was churning.
"Li Ruochu, you're going too far. Qiuying is already pitiful enough, why are you rubbing salt into her wounds?"
Seeing Gu Qiuying crying more miserably, Shen Yubai could no longer suppress his anger and shouted at Li Ruochu. "Aren't you two stabbing me in the back? Shen Yubai, you are a CEO after all. It's ok for you to do things in an unjust way, but you actually followed the villain to stab me in the back. Who is going too far?"
Li Ruochu met Shen Yubai's gaze without fear, her face full of resentment. At this moment, she wished she could divorce Shen Yubai immediately and escape from this scumbag and bitch.
Hearing this, the muscles on Shen Yubai's face trembled slightly, and his originally sharp eyes instantly relaxed a little.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously, a trace of imperceptible guilt quietly crept into his eyes, and it seemed as if a string deep in his heart was gently plucked.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed his words back and just looked at Li Ruchu quietly, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Gu Qiuying keenly caught the change in Shen Yubai at this moment, and a hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes, like a cold meteor flashing across the night sky.
However, she quickly adjusted her expression, put on a pitiful look, leaned forward slightly, and leaned on Shen Yubai like a little bird.
"Ah Yu, forget it. This matter is my responsibility. I am alone anyway. It doesn't matter whether I have a job or not."
As she spoke, she raised her head slightly and looked at Shen Yubai pitifully with her big watery eyes, as if silently telling him about her miserable situation.
Shen Yubai was still struggling internally, but when Gu Qiuying showed weakness, the balance in his heart completely tilted in an instant.
Without the slightest hesitation, he straightened his face and spoke with an unquestionable determination: "Chu Chu, the company will suspend you for a period of time this time. I will let you come back to work in a month. You must give an explanation to President Feng about this matter."
Shen Yubai paused, his eyes softened a little, and continued: "I will compensate you, don't worry, my position as personal secretary will always be reserved for you."
After hearing this, Li Ruochu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and sneered, "I always wondered how you two could get together, but it turns out you are the same person. You want to compensate me, right? Then the compensation I want is a divorce!"
In fact, Li Ruochu had been planning to find a time to file for divorce with Shen Yubai, but she didn't expect that this moment would become a perfect opportunity.
When Gu Qiuying heard the word "divorce", her eyes lit up instantly, like fireworks suddenly blooming in the night sky, and a gleam of light flashed across her eyes.
She suppressed her inner ecstasy, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smug smile.
Before, she had been racking her brains to think of how to make the two people divorce, but she didn't expect that Li Ruochu would be so sensible.
It seems that the day when I become Mrs. Shen is not far away!
When Shen Yubai heard the word "divorce", his whole body shook violently as if he was struck by lightning.
He raised his head, which had been slightly lowered, and his eyes widened with anger: "Li Ruochu, I just suspended you for a month, and you threatened me with divorce. It seems that I have spoiled you too much."
"I don't deserve Mr. Shen's favor. I'll prepare a list of other compensations and give it to you. Mr. Shen, please find your...subordinates?"
Li Ruochu suppressed his inner anger and forced a standard professional smile on his face, but there was no warmth in that smile.
He turned around and walked towards the office door with firm steps.
Shen Yubai stared at her back blankly, and suddenly an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart.
He subconsciously took a step forward, but then stopped and could only watch Li Ruochu's figure gradually disappear at the door.
Li Ruochu returned to his seat, took his things and left Shen Group without saying anything.
The action was so quick that there was no trace of nostalgia.
However, while driving home, a convertible car suddenly appeared, and Li Ruochu was unable to dodge and crashed straight into it!
Li Ruochu took a deep breath: Damn it, I can’t go out today. I got bitten by a dog and then had a car accident!
What bad luck!
A man came down from the opposite side and knocked on her car window.
Li Ruochu rolled down the window and saw who was coming. He didn't expect it to be an acquaintance: "Master Chu?"
The yellow-haired man outside took off his sunglasses and said in surprise: "Secretary Li, why is it you?"
