Chapter 37 Leaving with Nothing
And Gu Yuncong began his performance.
He pretended to be deeply affectionate and without regret.
He stayed by Ye Zhirou's bedside all day, waiting devotedly for his wife to wake up.
He also insisted on taking her to see renowned doctors all over the world.
Years later, Gu Yuncong's acting skills won over everyone.
He became widely recognized as a deeply affectionate man.
At the same time, he was secretly taking control of the company step by step.
Therefore, the time was ripe for An Rui to appear.
She arrived at the company to report for duty and pretended to be meeting Gu Yuncong for the first time.
This began their tragic love story of "knowing and loving each other but being unable to stay together."
Finally, after much difficulty, she was able to gain entry into the Gu family. Even Ye Zhirou's daughter, Gu Jing, had to accept her. Gu Yuncong said he would take her to the United States to get married...
But Ye Zhirou woke up at that moment!?
An Rui sat blankly in the cold corner of the ward, her eyes empty and lost, staring straight ahead.
She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
The woman who had been tricked and driven to madness by herself and Gu Yuncong, and who had remained dormant in the darkness for ten years, had actually awakened.
This woman is still the same as she was ten years ago; she doesn't even deign to glance at me.
The image of the old Taoist priest flashed through An Rui's mind like a revolving lantern.
The old Taoist priest was hunched over, his face covered in wrinkles like a dried-up riverbed, and his murky eyes gleamed with an eerie light.
He had confidently assured everyone that the array he had set up was so exquisite that no one could break it.
But now, all of that has been ruthlessly shattered by reality.
An intense anger and resentment welled up in An Rui's heart.
She screamed hysterically in her heart:
Pay me back!
They received so much money but failed to keep their promises, leaving Gu Yuncong and themselves in this desperate situation!
Just then, the door to the ward was gently pushed open, and footsteps could be heard.
Gu Jing bowed slightly, gave a polite smile, and nodded to the person who came in, "Attorney Yu, you've arrived."
Attorney Yu Jing is a capable woman dressed in a business suit, with a steady and powerful gait.
She was the lawyer who drafted the prenuptial agreement for Ye Zhirou, and she has a good reputation in the industry.
This time, she rushed over after receiving a call from Gu Jing.
When Attorney Yu stepped into the ward and saw Ye Zhirou, who had been mentally impaired for ten years, sitting in a wheelchair, fully conscious and with bright eyes, he was so shocked that the briefcase in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".
"Ms. Ye, you..."
Attorney Yu's voice was filled with disbelief.
She looked Ye Zhirou up and down as if she were looking at someone from another world.
Ye Zhirou sat in a wheelchair, her face pale and weak, but a faint smile played on her lips. "Attorney Yu, it's been a long time."
Attorney Yu composed himself, his emotions running high. "Ms. Ye, congratulations! I'm truly happy for you. It's nothing short of a miracle. When did you recover? We hadn't received a single word from you."
She stepped forward, grasped Ye Zhirou's hand tightly, and looked at her with concern.
"It happened last night, and I haven't notified anyone yet."
Ye Zhirou smiled in response, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
Attorney Yu was extremely excited.
She was genuinely happy for this long-time customer.
She had assumed this was Ye Zhirou's hospital room.
However, when he glanced at the hospital bed, he saw Gu Yuncong sleeping soundly.
Attorney Yu frowned slightly, a look of doubt on his face. "Is Mr. Gu ill?"
A sense of unease crept into her mind.
This family has truly had a life full of misfortunes.
One person awakens after ten years of mental illness, while the other suddenly falls ill.
It's heartbreaking.
Gu Jing looked at Gu Yuncong on the hospital bed and snorted coldly, "Attorney Yu, ignore him."
Her eyes were cold, as if Gu Yuncong were just an insignificant stranger.
Attorney Yu's heart stirred upon hearing Gu Jing's words.
Suddenly, I thought of the complicated family affairs of the Gu family over the years.
As a lawyer who works with Ye Zhirou, she has naturally been paying attention to the Gu family.
After Ye Zhirou fell ill, Gu Yuncong consistently showed deep affection for her.
He waited so many years, and it was only with great difficulty that he emerged from the shadows and accepted the newcomer, An Rui.
But now, Ye Zhirou has awakened.
This situation is truly awkward.
It's best to stay out of these complicated family disputes to avoid getting involved.
So, Attorney Yu quickly composed herself and changed the subject.
"So... is there something you wanted to see me about?"
She adjusted her glasses, regaining her professional demeanor.
Ye Zhirou sat up straight, her eyes resolute, and said quietly, "Attorney Yu, I want a divorce. Please help me draft a divorce agreement."
"Ah... okay."
Attorney Yu was slightly taken aback.
Is Ye Zhirou getting a divorce so that Gu Yuncong can be with his new girlfriend?
She cleared her throat. "Ms. Ye, do you have any requests?"
“I want him to leave with nothing, and I also want to recover all the marital property he spent on the other woman.”
Ye Zhirou spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice firm and resolute.
Attorney Yu was shocked upon hearing this.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhirou's demands were so forceful.
It seems there's more to this divorce than meets the eye.
An Rui, who was standing nearby, naturally heard everything and was so angry that she almost vomited blood. At the same time, she felt a sense of panic.
Over the years, Gu Yuncong has managed Ye Zhirou's wealth, spending money like water without batting an eye.
She and Gu Yuncong squandered Ye Zhirou's wealth, living an extremely extravagant life.
Gu Yuncong bought countless things for An Rui.
Not only does he own luxury cars and multiple properties, but he also exudes extravagance.
They even purchased luxury villas in several overseas countries.
During holidays, the two would fly off to enjoy a life of extravagance and debauchery.
Now that Ye Zhirou is demanding the return of all marital property spent on the third party, An Rui knows in her heart that this is nothing short of a nightmare.
It would be one thing if those real businesses were handed back to Ye Zhirou, but there were also countless intangible expenses, such as first-class travel and five-star hotel stays around the world.
If these expenses were to be repaid in cash, she wouldn't be able to come up with that much money even if she sold everything she owned.
Extreme panic caused An Rui to lose her mind instantly.
She rushed to Gu Yuncong's bedside like a madwoman, shoving him violently with both hands and crying out, "Yuncong, wake up!"
Her voice was shrill and desperate, echoing in the ward.
At this moment, An Rui's hair was disheveled and draped over her shoulders.
Her makeup was ruined by tears, her expression was distorted with fear, and her usual elegance and composure were nowhere to be found.
