At 4:30 p.m. that day, news of the divorce of the president of Gu's Group became a trending topic on Weibo.
But it was taken down in less than ten minutes.
Nevertheless, most people in the upper echelons of the capital knew about it.
When Yan Yirou learned of this news, she was having a party with a group of her girlfriends at a karaoke bar.
Someone in the private room shouted that the eldest son of the Gu family had gotten a divorce!
"No way? I don't believe it!"
“It’s absolutely true. A friend of mine saw them coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
"But didn't Young Master Gu and Sister Jiang Yu have a good relationship? How come they suddenly got divorced?"
"The relationship wasn't that great either?"
Originally, only two people were discussing it, but soon three more people gathered around.
"Actually, I noticed something was off at the Xiao family's celebration banquet last time. The couple came together, but Jiang Yu left early. If there were no problems in their relationship, why would they leave separately?"
"Does Jiang Yu have some serious illness? How could she divorce Young Master Gu?"
"Jiang Yu doesn't want a divorce, but what good is it? If Young Master Gu wants a divorce, can Jiang Yu stop him?"
The five women huddled together, chattering away, and stopped singing. Yan Yirou looked up in confusion and saw them all huddled together. She put down her phone and asked, "What's wrong?"
In a flash.
All five women looked at Yan Yirou at the same time.
Then everyone surrounded her.
"Rou Rou, even Young Master Gu has gotten divorced, so Fourth Young Master should be getting divorced soon too, right?"
Yan Yirou suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at the person who spoke in disbelief: "You said Gu Yilou got divorced?"
The others were taken aback. Why was she calling Gu Dashao by his name? Didn't she always call him Brother Gu before?
The woman being questioned was a little startled: "Yes, yes, it's even trending on Weibo."
Yan Yirou's expression changed drastically.
Was it because of her arrival that Gu Yilou got divorced?
But she hasn't contacted anyone in the Gu family and only returned to China a few days ago, so it shouldn't have such a big impact, right?
"Rou Rou, once Fourth Young Master gets divorced, we'll help you create opportunities to get close to him, and we'll make sure you win him over!"
"Hmph, Li Mujiu is no match for Rou Rou at all. How could Fourth Young Master possibly be interested in her!"
"And then there's Shangguan Wu, a pampered young lady raised in the countryside since childhood. She's not even worthy of carrying Rou Rou's shoes, yet she dares to climb into Fourth Young Master's bed and clings to him relentlessly. She's shameless!"
"Girls, now that Rou Rou is back, let's find a chance to teach Shangguan Wu a lesson and make her leave the Fourth Young Master on her own!"
They don't just raise them in the countryside.
Hearing them stirring things up, if it were the old Yan Yirou, she would definitely be furious and impulsively go to cause trouble for Shangguan Wu.
But now.
Yan Yirou looked at them coldly and said meaningfully, "If you want to die, then go ahead and cause trouble for Shangguan Wu!"
"..."
Everyone else stared in disbelief.
Someone tentatively asked, "Why? Rou Rou, are you worried that Fourth Young Master will be dissatisfied with you?"
Immediately, someone assured, "Don't worry, when we teach Shangguan Wu a lesson, we will absolutely not let anyone find any fault with us!"
"Yes, we've disliked Shangguan Wu for a long time!"
The other five nodded.
However, when Yan Yirou raised her hand to her forehead, she only felt a headache.
With their brains, they think they can teach Shangguan Wu a lesson? They've been sold out, and they probably still think they got a great deal!
Moreover, Shangguan Wu has Gu Yunzhen behind her; they're practically courting death.
"I'm making this clear today: I no longer like Fourth Young Master. If any of you try to do anything under the guise of doing what's best for me, and something goes wrong, I'll wash my hands of it completely!"
The other five people: "..."
They looked at each other, their eyes asking each other what was going on.
They and Yan Yirou grew up together, so they knew that she had always liked the Fourth Young Master. But now, Yan Yirou went abroad alone and came back saying that she no longer liked the Fourth Young Master. Is that possible?
They looked completely bewildered.
Could it be because the Fourth Young Master got married that she suddenly let go of all her feelings?
"Rou Rou, have you really let go?" someone asked.
"certainly!"
Yan Yirou looked at them cautiously and softened her tone: "I know you all mean well, but when I was traveling around Western Europe, I suddenly let go one day. Otherwise, do you think I would have returned to China so quickly?"
"A tour of Western Europe?"
Wow, which cities did you visit?
"I thought you returned to China because you learned about the Fourth Young Master's rise to power."
Someone said something weakly.
He was immediately met with a chokehold from the others.
Yan Yirou's eyelids twitched. Although she didn't know why the Fourth Young Master's leg ailment had healed two years ahead of schedule, she shook her head and denied it: "My mother called me and said that my father had fallen ill, so I came back."
"Uncle is sick? I haven't heard about that."
"My dad is fine, my mom lied to me."
Yan Yirou felt a headache coming on when she thought of her mother urging her to get married, because she remembered that the person Ji Xianreng, whom she was on a blind date with, liked was Rongrong, the fiancée of his older brother Ji Xianli.
However, both brothers ended up with nothing.
Yan Yirou narrowed her eyes and instructed them, "Alright, no matter what people outside say about Shangguan Wu, don't take it seriously or pay any attention to it. I won't harm you!"
Her tone was quite solemn, and the other five people looked at each other and nodded in unison.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yu left the capital city by helicopter.
Jiang Yu wanted to go back to the Jiang family home first, and then take a boat out to sea to relax, so as not to worry her family.
But an hour later, Jiang Yu discovered that the helicopter had gone out to sea.
Jiang Yu frowned: "I'm going back to the Jiang family now. You've gone the wrong way. Fly back immediately!"
The pilot coldly snapped, "Shut up!"
Jiang Yu was startled and asked nervously, "Who are you? Where are you taking me?"
"Of course, I'll take you where you're supposed to go," the pilot said.
Thinking of the large sum of money she had received today, which Yu Hao knew about, Jiang Yu warned him with a fierce but weak tone, "Let me tell you, if anything happens to me, Yu Hao won't be able to escape either. You take me back right now, and I'll pretend I don't know anything. Otherwise, I'll call the police right now and make sure you spend the rest of your life in jail!"
The pilot suddenly turned his head and stared at her.
At that moment, Jiang Yu felt as if she were being watched by a venomous snake. She looked away in fear and gripped the seatbelt tightly with both hands.
The pilot sneered, "From now on, you'd better not say a word, or you'll suffer endlessly. Do you understand?"
"..."
Jiang Yu felt a chill run down her spine. She cursed Yu Hao a hundred times in her heart, but still couldn't think of a way to escape.
"I'll give you everything, I'll give you all the money, just let me go!"
When Jiang Yu's fear reached its peak, she was on the verge of a breakdown!
The pilot scoffed, "You think I'm taking you away for the little bit of money you have?"
