005: Do you believe such a coincidence?
When Gu Jun and Xu Yao rushed to the hospital, Gu Haishan regained consciousness.
The old man looked at the marriage certificate in Gu Jun and Xu Yao's hands, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face, which had been tortured by illness for a long time.
"Okay, very good... You should take good care of yourself in the future..."
After saying this, Gu Haishan took his last breath.
Gu Jun knelt beside the bed and cried bitterly.
The poverty in his childhood did not defeat Gu Jun, and the material shortage did not affect Gu Haishan's love for Gu Jun. The belief of "letting grandpa live a good life" supported Gu Jun in his efforts to make a name for himself.
Gu Jun succeeded.
It's a pity that Gu Haishan didn't enjoy his good fortune for many years.
From then on, Gu Jun no longer had any relatives in this world!
Xu Yao couldn't help but tear up as she stood in front of the hospital bed. She had only just met Gu Haishan yesterday, but fate was so magical that she was now Gu Haishan's granddaughter-in-law.
Xu Yao empathized with Gu Jun's pain.
Three years ago, Xu Qinghua disappeared on the high seas, but Xu Yao still held on to a glimmer of hope.
A year ago, the police announced Xu Qinghua's death, and Xu Yao's last fantasy was shattered. That day, Xu Yao and her mother Lin Meixian hugged each other and cried bitterly.
The pain of losing a loved one is difficult for others to comfort. Xu Yao said nothing and just stayed quietly by Gu Jun's side.
Others would have celebrated hugely on the day they got their marriage certificate, but Xu Yao and Gu Jun got married in a hurry. She didn't know how to comfort Gu Jun. The only thing she could do was to cheer up and help deal with Gu Haishan's funeral.
Gu Jun cried for a long time, until his eyes were dry and he could no longer shed a single tear, then he staggered to stand up.
Xu Yao went to help Gu Jun, but Gu Jun almost brought Xu Yao down with him.
"……Thanks."
Gu Jun was not used to Xu Yao's touch and quickly pulled his hand away.
Xu Yao was a little embarrassed.
The two are husband and wife in name only, but in reality they are like strangers!
Gu Jun said hoarsely, "I have to take care of Grandpa's funeral. I can't take care of you tonight. You can go home and rest first."
Xu Yao shook her head: "I'm not tired, I'll handle it with you."
No matter why the two got married, the marriage certificate has been obtained, and Xu Yao is Gu Jun's wife.
My husband's grandfather passed away. How could I, as a wife, not be there to handle the funeral arrangements?
Seeing Xu Yao's persistence, Gu Jun also went along with it.
Xu Yao is the wife grandpa wanted him to marry. With Xu Yao accompanying him to handle funeral arrangements, grandpa would probably be happy in his netherworld.
Just based on this point, Gu Jun has no regrets about giving Xu Yao a house when they divorce in the future!
Only after obtaining Gu Jun's consent did someone come in to help Gu Haishan change his clothes. Gu Jun went outside the ward to make a phone call. Gu Jun and Gu Haishan had depended on each other for many years, and the Gu family had no other immediate family members. Gu Jun did not plan to keep the body in the coffin, and would take Gu Haishan to the funeral home for cremation at dawn.
Gu Jun had also prepared the cemetery long ago. Gu Haishan would be buried with Gu Jun's deceased grandmother and father.
Xu Yao took a few days off from work to follow the whole process.
Only the graves of Gu Jun's grandmother and father were seen in the cemetery, and Xu Yao did not ask about Gu Jun's mother's situation.
Gu Jun has suffered enough, and Xu Yao doesn't want to touch on his sad story anymore.
It was drizzling on the day of Gu Haishan's burial. Xu Yao and Gu Jun were both dressed in black. They had not had a good rest in the past few days due to the chaos.
Xu Yao held an umbrella for Gu Jun, and Gu Jun stood quietly in front of the tombstone for a long time before turning around.
"Let's go."
Gu Jun took the umbrella from Xu Yao: "You have worked hard these days."
Gu Jun is a very sentimental person.
People like him would not say a lot of "thank you". A light thank you is worthless. Gu Jun's gratitude was very real. He gave Xu Yao a key.
"This is……"
"Take the key to Shenghai Garden first."
Gu Jun paused and added, "It's the house that might be given to you in the agreement."
During their time together, Xu Yao first felt sympathy for Gu Jun, then admiration. Even in his extreme grief, Gu Jun managed to maintain his composure and handle Gu Haishan's affairs. He was truly the renowned academic master he once was. A man like him could rise to prominence even from a humble background... Gu Jun's words brought Xu Yao back to reality.
What does Gu Jun's excellence have to do with her? They just got married for their own benefit!
Gu Jun agreed to the marriage just to let Gu Haishan close his eyes without any regrets. Now that Gu Haishan has been buried, Xu Yao is a little worried that Gu Jun will demolish the bridge after crossing it.
"I can't get a divorce yet."
The changes in the past three years have made Xu Yao thick-skinned. She still needs Gu Jun as a shield: "You also know why I agreed to get the marriage certificate. My ex still can't accept the breakup, and my mother also needs-"
Gu Jun interrupted her: "You're overthinking it. I'm not asking for a divorce. I gave you the key so you can get familiar with the house first. We're already husband and wife. Do you really want to keep living out there?"
Xu Yao's head buzzed.
After getting married, she really couldn't live alone in a rental house anymore.
The separated newlyweds can neither deceive Chen Yan nor Lin Meixian!
Xu Yao took the key from Gu Jun and said, "I have some luggage to pack. I'll move after I'm done. I'll call you then."
A few days after her flash marriage, Xu Yao finally got the contact information of her new husband!
Of course, Gu Jun also saved Xu Yao's phone number.
Gu Jun was just about to ask Xu Yao if she needed help packing her luggage when the lawyer who had helped them sign the prenuptial agreement arrived.
Xu Yao was very perceptive: "You guys chat, I'll go wait in the car first."
Gu Jun nodded slightly.
Xu Yao needed time to adjust to being married, and so did Gu Jun. During the funeral, Xu Yao also left a good impression on Gu Jun. Everyone has their youthful recklessness, and he shouldn't completely dismiss Xu Yao because of a past bad impression.
After Xu Yao got in the car, the lawyer handed a document to Gu Jun:
"You asked me to investigate Miss Xu's information."
The two of them got their marriage certificate in a hurry at that time, and Gu Jun had no time to go into the details. Now that he is married to Xu Yao, Gu Jun must have a sufficient understanding of his legal wife.
Even though the two had signed a prenuptial agreement, Xu Yao would not be able to divide Gu Jun's wealth through marriage as long as Gu Jun was unwilling. But what if Xu Yao was not just after the money?
Gu Jun flipped through the information given by the lawyer.
It turned out that Xu Yao's family went bankrupt.
Three years ago, Gu Jun's career reached the most critical stage. If he took a step forward, he would be able to see the world from afar. If he took a step back, he would become a stepping stone for his peers to move up. He had no intention of paying attention to other things.
The Xu family went bankrupt, Xu Qinghua was declared dead by the police, the phoenix that once soared freely on the branch has fallen to the ground, and Xu Yao is obviously not having a good time.
No wonder Xu Yao has changed so much!
Seeing Xu Yao sign new IOUs with her creditors a few days ago and then break off the engagement with her fiancé Shen Yan, Gu Jun's eyes turned cold:
"Xu Yao's ex-fiancé is from the Shen family in Nancheng?"
The lawyer's expression was solemn. "Perhaps it's a coincidence. Chen Yan can't be considered the core descendant of the Nancheng Shen family."
Gu Jun asked the lawyer, "Do you believe such a coincidence?"
The lawyer could no longer speak for Xu Yao.
Gu Jun never appeared in public, and few people knew this newly wealthy man, but the Nancheng Shen family was certainly aware of him. Three years ago, Gu Jun was battling the capital led by the Nancheng Shen family, and Gu Jun's company had barely escaped the siege... Now, it seemed that the Shen family had not given up yet?
