042. In a divorce, he must leave with nothing.
Xiao Yan's shameless and roguish words made the coldness in Gu Mingxia's eyes disappear in an instant. She looked at the president in front of her who was cold and aloof in front of others, but who was like a silly young man in front of her, making her happy. She felt a warm feeling in her heart.
But this doesn't stop her from still not believing in men's feelings, including the man in front of her!
Thinking of this, Gu Mingxia's eyes turned cold. She didn't even glance at Xiao Yan again, but simply walked forward, leaving behind a sentence that made Xiao Yan feel extremely heartbroken.
"Excuse me, I suddenly realize I don't like men anymore!"
What's going on? Does that mean Xiaxia has switched her affections from men to women and is determined to become a lesbian? No! He absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!
Xiao Yan called out as he watched Gu Mingxia's figure, "Xiaxia, if you really don't like men, I can consider getting a sex change to become the woman you love!"
Gu Mingxia had never felt so humiliated as she did at this moment. Seeing the glances that kept coming from people, Gu Mingxia wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. She could only pretend that Xiao Yan's words behind her weren't directed at her.
Without realizing it, Gu Mingxia quickened her pace. After entering the living room, she put her handbag on the coffee table and sat down on the sofa. She felt it was really necessary to talk to Xiao Yan; he was becoming increasingly abnormal!
Gu Mingxia poured herself a glass of cold water, drank it all in one gulp, and then patted her chest. Who told her that Xiao Yan was a cold and aloof god? Was this some kind of joke? Gu Mingxia suddenly felt utterly exhausted and disillusioned!
As Xiao Yan waited for her to enter, she saw Gu Mingxia patting her chest repeatedly. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a slight smile.
"No need to take any more pictures, I like your size. Don't worry, cows don't appeal to me!"
Ah! Gu Mingxia opened her mouth, then suddenly looked down at her chest, which wasn't very big but definitely not small either, and realized that she had been teased by this shameless man once again!
"Xiao Yan, I feel it's necessary for me to have a talk with you!"
She couldn't let herself fall into Xiao Yan's trap. Before she knew why he had returned, no one could enter her heart! Xiao Yan, holding a water glass, nodded and sat down next to Gu Mingxia. To prevent any unexpected events from happening, Gu Mingxia got up and sat opposite him.
"I'm not a wolf, I can't eat you, why are you hiding so far away!"
"I'm a wolf, I'm afraid I'll eat you, okay?"
Gu Mingxia replied to him irritably, then sat down and coughed heavily before looking at Xiao Yan, who was drinking water with an indifferent expression.
"Xiao Yan, I want to know your purpose in returning to Xiangcheng this time!"
Since he wouldn't say, she would take the initiative to ask! No matter what, she had to find out if she was in danger first! Xiao Yan's hand holding the water glass paused for a moment, but he put the water glass on the coffee table in an instant and looked up at the serious and earnest Gu Mingxia.
"Headquarters has decided to send me back to Xiangcheng to establish the Maoguang Group!"
"That's it? No other purpose?"
Gu Mingxia looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief. She couldn't believe that Xiao Yan had such a simple purpose. Hearing her words, Xiao Yan smiled and raised an eyebrow at her.
"Xiaxia, what is your purpose in wanting me to come back? To get revenge on you? Or to trick you into bed, take your body, and then cruelly abandon you?"
Yes, what exactly did she hope Xiao Yan would come back for? Gu Mingxia fell silent for a moment. She didn't know what kind of outcome she hoped for, but if Xiao Yan really had no ulterior motives, Gu Mingxia felt that unless she became a fool, she would never believe that Xiao Yan had no ulterior motives.
Since Xiao Yan had already said that, it would be unreasonable for her to ask any further questions. After making up her mind, Gu Mingxia looked up at Xiao Yan, her big, watery eyes flashing with an extremely serious expression.
"Xiao Yan, I don't care what your purpose is in coming back. I just hope that from now on you can respect me, and also respect yourself!"
"What?"
Xiao Yan looked at her, puzzled. Gu Mingxia looked at his harmless, handsome face and gritted her teeth as she spoke each word clearly.
"If you ever kiss me or touch me like you did today again, I will move out of here immediately and never see you again!"
Hearing her words, Xiao Yan originally wanted to say something to make her laugh, but when he met her gaze, which showed no hint of joking, Xiao Yan also put away his indifference and put on a serious expression.
"Okay! Since it's something you don't want me to do, I promise I won't do it again!"
Upon hearing his words, Gu Mingxia immediately picked up her handbag and headed upstairs to her bedroom. Xiao Yan watched her retreating figure thoughtfully, and spoke when she was almost on the second floor.
I'll call you when it's time to eat.
"No need, I'm on a diet, I won't eat it!"
She's so skinny she's practically skinny, and she's supposed to be dieting! Xiao Yan thought to himself, but he didn't say it aloud. He was genuinely afraid that Gu Mingxia would move out of here in a fit of anger, which wouldn't be a good thing for him!
After showering upstairs, Gu Mingxia sat on the bed, picked up her phone, and called Liu Yan.
"Liu Yan, how's it going with you and Zhang Yunyi? Do you have any evidence?"
"I was just about to call you! Xiaxia, that scumbag really is a scumbag! You have no idea how despicable the things he did were!"
Although Liu Yan was on the other end of the phone, Gu Mingxia could still hear the disdain and disgust in her voice. She just curled her lips, took the pillow, put it behind her back, and leaned against the headboard.
"What's wrong? What disgusted you?"
Gu Mingxia asked with a smile, and Liu Yan made a spitting sound before asking her a question in return.
"Xiaxia, are you sure you want to listen?"
"Speak up, why are you keeping me in suspense!"
Liu Yan sighed heavily, and after a long pause, she finally spoke as if she had made up her mind.
"Do you know what happened? Zhang Yunyi and I went to the party that day, hoping to try our luck and see if we could investigate that scumbag through someone else. But guess what we saw?"
"What did you see?"
To cooperate with Liu Yan, Gu Mingxia had no choice but to ask a question in response.
"When the party ended, Zhang Yunyi followed the scumbag in his car and actually saw him kissing Huo Jialingling at a resort hotel outside the city! Just thinking about it makes me sick! Huo Jialingling is almost old enough to be his mother, and he can still kiss her like that!"
Oh? There's such a thing? It seems Bai Zixuan has been hiding a lot from her! Gu Mingxia really couldn't believe that the once innocent and sunny Bai Zixuan would do such a despicable thing!
She always thought that Bai Zixuan only found a young woman like Ye Xiaorou to have a child for her because she couldn't have children. She never expected that he would have such a heavy taste that he would even take an old woman like Huo Jialing. Doesn't he feel disgusted?
"Xiaxia, are you listening? Did you feel so nauseous that you went to throw up?"
Liu Yan's concerned and teasing voice came from the other end of the phone. Gu Mingxia smiled, sat up straight, and poked at the bed sheet with her finger for a while before speaking.
"It's disgusting! Actually, it's not hard to imagine. Huo Jialing's deceased husband was the director of the Land and Resources Bureau. She must have had some connections and resources. Maybe it was for these things that Bai Zixuan climbed into her bed!"
Gu Mingxia spoke calmly, without contempt or agitation, as if she were talking about a complete stranger. Yes, everyone has their own way of living. She wasn't a saint; she wouldn't demand that everyone live according to her ideas. Therefore, her initial resentment towards Bai Zixuan's choice had transformed into calm.
Because I don't care, my heart is completely unmoved!
"Xiaxia, if you feel unwell, you can tell me. Please don't keep it to yourself!"
"Why am I upset? Who hasn't loved one or two jerks when they were young? I don't care about him anymore. I just want to finish the divorce proceedings as soon as possible, and then we'll go our separate ways and never cross paths again!"
Gu Mingxia leaned back against the headboard. These were her true feelings. She truly hoped that after finalizing the divorce, she would never have any contact with Bai Zixuan again.
"By the way, Xiaxia, Zhang Yunyi also found that Zha Zha went to the pharmacy to buy sleeping pills, and there's also CCTV footage of him dragging you, who was unconscious, into the Peninsula Hotel. There's also evidence that he had a secret rendezvous with Ye Xiaorou a year ago, and that he started having an affair with Huo Jialing three years ago. He said that all this evidence proves that your so-called 'catching him cheating' was his doing, and that he's the one at fault in the marriage. If you want him to leave with nothing, there's an 80% chance the judge will support you!"
"Okay, please thank Zhang Yunyi for me. Also, please arrange a meeting with him at the 7UP Hotel tomorrow at noon, with my lawyer by my side."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Mingxia lay on the bed, pondering how to fight this divorce case. She and Bai Zixuan had been married for seven years, but three years ago he had an affair with Huo Jialingling and a year ago he had a secret rendezvous with Ye Xiaorou. Yet she had never thought to suspect anything. Was she too naive or was reality too cruel?
Gu Mingxia considered herself to be an exceptionally kind woman. When she decided to marry Bai Zixuan, she chose to hide her true nature and interact with him in a kind and gentle manner. However, she never expected that in his eyes, this very persona would become a synonym for someone who could be bullied at will!
Indeed, in this world, it's always the kind-hearted who get bullied!
This time, she was going to show Bai Zixuan that Gu Mingxia was not a woman he could easily discard! There's no such thing as a free lunch!
Thinking of this, Gu Mingxia picked up her phone, scrolled through her contacts, and dialed a number. When the call connected, she calmly spoke to the person on the other end.
"Attorney Jiang, help me draft a divorce agreement. I want Bai Zixuan to leave with nothing! Yes, you heard right, leave with nothing!"
