Chapter 21 Severing Relationship
After taking a shower, Lan Yu felt alive again.
Among the box of clothes she brought, only the off-white dress was the most suitable.
She had no choice but to put on the skirt again.
When Gu Yunchi saw her wearing the skirt again, he came over, held her hand and said, "I'll talk to my second uncle, and we'll go there half an hour later. I'll accompany you to buy some clothes first."
Lan Yu shook his head and said, "Let's go when I'm on break. Then I'll let Tiantian accompany me for a walk."
Gu Yunchi: "Okay, just use the card I gave you as you like, no need to save money for me."
"Well, I won't be polite with you," Lan Yu replied.
She knew that since she was marrying into a family like Gu Yunchi's, she had to pay attention to her attire for certain occasions.
It is indeed necessary to prepare several sets of good clothes.
It was exactly five o'clock when the two drove to the Gu family's old house in the suburbs.
There were three people, two men and one woman, standing at the door looking in.
Seeing their car stop, the younger man hurried over to help open the passenger door and shouted enthusiastically: "Hello sister-in-law, I am Brother Chi's cousin, my name is Gu Yunfan, and these are my parents."
Lan Yu was a little flattered. After getting off the bus and steadying himself, he nodded slightly and said, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, Hello, Yunfan."
Song Wanrou looked at Lan Yu with a smile and nodded to her husband Gu Qingdong, "You can tell at first glance that he is a sensible child. He is also good-looking. He and our Yun Chi seem to be a perfect match."
Gu Qingdong smiled and said to Lan Yu: "Lan Yu, right? Please forgive me for not being able to help but ask the dean about your situation. The dean has a very high opinion of you. Yun Chi was not wrong about you."
Song Wanrou stepped forward and took Lan Yu's arm, "Come in. Your family might make things difficult for you later. Don't take it to heart. It was the same when I got married into your family. The important thing is that you and Yun Chi live a good life."
"Well, thank you, Second Aunt." Lan Yu felt a natural liking for her second uncle's family. No matter what she would face later, she was not afraid. No one can make everyone like them, right?
She is not money. Only money can be liked by everyone.
The five people entered the house and saw that there were already quite a few people sitting in the living room, but they all had sullen faces and did not react when they came in.
The atmosphere was depressing, making Lan Yu feel suffocated.
No wonder Gu Yunchi didn't want to come back. If she were in his place, she would also want to escape.
"Grandpa and grandma," Gu Yunchi greeted the two elderly people sitting in the main seat. After that, he took Lan Yu's hand and introduced them, "Yu Yu, these are grandpa and grandma. Grandpa and grandma, this is my wife Lan Yu."
Lan Yu was neither humble nor arrogant, and followed up by calling out, "Grandpa, Grandma."
Old man Gu Hean is the founder of Gu Group and the current head. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Lan Yu.
The old lady Zhang Yulan curled her lips and said, "Who is your grandma? Don't call me that. Our Gu family will not recognize a daughter-in-law like you who comes from unknown backgrounds. If you want to enter our Gu family, you have to pass me first."
Sitting next to the old lady was Gu Qinghui, the eldest of the Gu family and Gu Yunchi's father. He suddenly slammed his palm on the table beside him, pointed at Gu Yunchi and cursed:
"You still have the nerve to come back and actually take the initiative to get the marriage certificate and even post about it on WeChat Moments. You've completely disgraced our Gu family. Let me ask you, who is this woman? Is she worthy of being our Gu family's daughter-in-law?"
Gu Yunchi had long expected his father to say this. He glanced coldly at his stepmother sitting next to his father and said sarcastically, "My wife is not worthy, so does the woman sitting next to you who destroyed other people's families deserve it?"
Fang Lin's face turned red and she clenched her teeth secretly.
Gu Qinghui was so angry that he jumped up and cursed: "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to your mother like that?"
Gu Yunchi: "I only have one mother, her name is Shen Aiying, not Fang Lin."
Gu Qinghui: "You..."
"Enough!" Gu Hean roared and glared at his eldest son Gu Qinghui, "Sit down."
Gu Qinghui was afraid of his father, so he had to sit down.
Gu Hean looked at his grandson Gu Yunchi and said coldly: "Let's just pretend that your marriage never happened. You two should go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to cancel your marriage application. If you can't cancel it, then apply for a divorce."
"Oh, as expected," Gu Yunchi laughed angrily, "I shouldn't have had any extravagant expectations for this family, let alone expecting you to bless me. Well, let's end it today."
The old lady pricked up her ears. "What are you going to do?"
Gu Yunchi took out an envelope, pulled out a piece of paper from it, held it up, and said loudly: "This is a letter of severance of relations. I, Gu Yunchi, hereby declare that from today on, I will sever all ties with the Gu family and give up all rights including inheritance rights."
"I've signed and stamped my fingerprints, and even had my lawyer review it. From now on, everything in the Gu family has nothing to do with me!"
Gu Qinghui rushed over and snatched the paper, shaking with anger, "You bastard, you are as unreasonable as your mother. Fine, then I'll grant your wish. Get out of our Gu family immediately."
"I'll just pretend I never gave birth to your son!"
"If you don't tell me to go away, I will leave too. I don't want to stay for another minute, so as not to disgust myself." After saying this, Gu Yunchi pulled Lan Yu and turned to leave.
"Get out! Don't ever say you're from the Gu family again!" Gu Qinghui cursed behind his back.
Gu Qingdong could no longer tolerate it and yelled at his eldest brother Gu Qinghui, "Brother, you're going too far! He's your son. How can you say such things to your own child?"
Gu Qinghui: "Didn't you see that he forced me to do this?"
Gu Qingdong: "What did he force you to do? Is it because he didn't become your assistant as you wished, nor did he marry a daughter of equal status as you wished?"
Gu Qinghui: "You say it so lightly. Wait until your son marries a woman and see if you can accept it."
Gu Qingdong: "I can accept it. Now in front of everyone, listen carefully, no matter what kind of woman my son Gu Yunfan marries in the future, I will not object."
"Okay!" Gu Hean stood up, looked around at the people in the room, and said in a cold voice: "If there is nothing else, just disperse and go home. Don't stay here and bother me and affect my appetite."
Seeing her husband heading towards the study, Zhang Yulan hurriedly followed him.
Gu Qingdong called his wife and son and said, "Go home."
The third brother, Gu Qingsheng, stood up and sighed, "Ah, a good dinner ended so unpleasantly. Big brother, I'm not saying anything mean to you, but you're so old, why are you still so angry?"
"No matter how unhappy you are, the matter has already been settled. What's the point of opposing it now? Look, Yun Chi has gone away in anger. I think he is really determined to break off relations with us this time."
Fang Lin glanced at Gu Qingsheng and said sarcastically, "Isn't this exactly what Third Uncle wants? There's one less person competing for the family inheritance."
Gu Qingsheng's wife Jiang Huixin stood up and snorted coldly, "Sister-in-law, you're talking about yourself, right? Everyone knows that you've been working hard in secret. Now that Yun Chi is gone, won't your son become the eldest grandson?"
"It's so funny. What eldest grandson? A bastard is always a bastard. Black can never become white," said Gu Meichan, the fourth child of the Gu family, sarcastically. "As long as Yun Chi is alive, his status as the eldest grandson cannot be changed."
"I advise each of you to give up the idea of seizing the throne as soon as possible."
