☆, Chapter 30: The Heart of Gossip
"Okay, since you said so, we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau this afternoon." Aunt Gu stopped arguing with him and tidied up her clothes that were messed up in the fight with dignity.
"Let's go, no need to go in the afternoon, go now, finish the procedures early and let you be free sooner!" Gu Guoyan couldn't wait.
Divorce is good. After divorce, he will have money again and there will be plenty of young and beautiful girls waiting for him to choose.
"Okay, let's go now." Aunt Gu pointed forward.
Gu Guoyan walked out from behind Lawyer Wang and said, "Let's make it clear first. You are not allowed to use violence again."
"Heh..." Aunt Gu sneered, "You're not worth my endless nagging like a nagging woman."
Gu Guoyan saw that she did not seem to be pretending, so he dared to walk over. When he approached Aunt Gu, Aunt Gu did not move at all. She only took a step to follow him after he walked over.
"Dad, Mom..." Gu Ciyuan was still a little dazed and stretched out his hand to stop the two.
After all, they have lived together as adoptive parents for more than ten years. His first reaction is definitely that he doesn't want the two to be separated, and he will feel panic.
But before he could say more words of advice, Gu Guoyan calmed him down with just one word.
"Don't be afraid, son. You are the only grandson of our Gu family."
Gu Ciyuan paused, his hand stayed in the air for a few seconds, and then he put it back in his pocket.
Yes, he is now the only grandson of the Gu family!
He is no longer an adopted orphan, but a blood-related grandson of the Gu family.
Even that bastard Gu Ciqian has the right to inherit 3% of the shares, so he should at least give 5%.
Although he had little financial knowledge, Gu Ciyuan was born in a wealthy family after all, so he had a certain psychological expectation of the value of a 3% stake.
That was definitely enough wealth to provide him with food and clothing for the rest of his life.
"Do you want me to drive you guys?" The words of advice on the tip of his tongue were immediately changed to support.
Second Aunt Gu originally still had a glimmer of hope, but after seeing Gu Ciyuan's transformation, the expectation in her eyes completely turned into indifference.
She lowered her eyes and said, "No need."
"Then go quickly and come back soon." Gu Ciyuan could no longer hide his impatience.
Second Aunt Gu raised her eyes and glanced at him, her expression filled with disappointment, sadness, and a hint of sympathy.
"Ci Yuan, I've raised you for so many years and never let you suffer any injustice. I've treated you like my own son. I didn't expect you to be so unkind."
So quickly and without any psychological burden, he stood on the same front with Gu Guoyan.
"I'm also thinking about you, Auntie. Since you and Dad can't get along, it will be a relief for both of you to separate early." Gu Ciyuan said these high-sounding words sternly and righteously.
Blood ties and money are more important to him than illusory feelings. He may call her mom one second, but he will immediately change his words to call her aunt the next.
Second Aunt Gu shook her head in disappointment, then suddenly smiled again, "Yes, I'm relieved. From now on, you and Gu Guoyan will take care of yourselves."
After saying that, he turned and left, not even bothering to give the father and son another glance.
Gu Guoyan hurried to catch up.
Gu Ciyuan stayed for a moment, then followed the two of them downstairs.
When he reached the stairs, Gu Ciyuan heard a bang behind him.
He paused, turned around and looked behind him.
The corridor was empty and I could see to the end, but I didn't see anyone.
"Did I hear it wrong?" Gu Ciyuan muttered to himself, scratched his head, and went downstairs.
What he didn't notice was that the door of Bai Qingyuan's room was open, and the sound just now was the sound of the door hitting the wall.
At this moment, Gu Ran was pressed against the door. Due to the collision just now, the door handle hit her waist, and she screamed in pain while rubbing her waist.
Mr. Bai quickly reached out to help her, "Gu girl, are you okay? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, grandpa." Gu Ran slowly straightened up, lifted the hem of his clothes and looked at his waist.
It was a little blue, but luckily the skin was not broken.
"Sit down and rub it quickly." Old Master Bai said anxiously.
"It's okay, grandpa. It will be fine in two days." Gu Ran put down the clothes and couldn't help feeling a little relieved.
Just as she and Mr. Bai entered the room, they heard the voices of Lawyer Wang and Gu Guoyan outside. Gu Ran, who had originally intended to close the door, immediately smelled gossip and left the door ajar.
Seeing this, Mr. Bai also came over.
The two of them just squeezed together against the crack of the door and listened to the gossip.
Today's news came too suddenly. From the time Gu Guoyan followed him upstairs to the time Aunt Gu caught him and started arguing, it was only a few minutes.
Before Gu Ran could even complain in his heart, Mr. Bai was also stunned by the shock.
The two of them were so engrossed in gossip that they were completely absorbed in it.
After the gossip ended, Mr. Bai stood up immediately.
Without the mutual support and balance of power, Gu Ran fell against the wall.
Although the collision was not severe, it was still quite painful. If the old man were hit like this, it is possible that his arms and legs would be fractured.
Gu Ran: [I didn't expect even Grandpa Bai to be so gossipy. It seems like it's human nature to join in the fun. Who doesn't love gossip?]
Gu Ran: [The village has its own gossip, and the wealthy have their own secrets. Each has its own fun, and they're all equally fascinating.]
Gu Ran: [Alas, think about how pitiful Second Aunt is. When she was young, she almost couldn't beat her childhood sweetheart. She finally managed to persuade Second Uncle, the playboy, to change his ways. She thought it was a fairy tale for the wealthy, but she never expected that the bad habits of a dog will never change.]
Gu Ran: [So don't try to change a person. Changing a person is actually harder than creating one.]
Gu Ran: [Even if someone is willing to put aside their past habits for the sake of momentary greed, their true nature will eventually be revealed.]
Gu Ran: [A man as philandering and romantic as Second Uncle would never give up an entire forest for a single tree.]
Gu Ran: [Second Aunt probably understood it too.]
Gu Ran: [Second Uncle wanted to come clean when he was in the study just now, but he was afraid Second Aunt would get mad, so he secretly came over to talk to Lawyer Wang. Unexpectedly, Second Aunt still overheard it.]
Gu Ran: [It's getting late. By the time they get to the Civil Affairs Bureau, the staff will probably be on their lunch break, right? But rich people are different. Third Uncle can even get the staff to come to his house, so Second Uncle can easily get a divorce done with the staff on their lunch break.]
At the same time, the Gu family had just returned to their room downstairs.
Wait! What do you mean Mr. Bai is also quite gossipy?
What's going on between Gu Guoyan and Aunt Gu?
Is Gu Ran eating this incredible melon upstairs without their knowledge?
"Is it about the second son bringing his mistress's child home to raise?" Father Gu put down his phone and looked at Mother Gu who was putting on makeup at the dressing table with a sharp gaze.
