Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyan's brows furrowed immediately, her lips pressed tightly together, and her eyes flashed with anger as she looked at Rong Mo. She then decided to put on a serious face and said:
"Although the Rong family is powerful and wealthy, they can't just use their family's power to bully people in Nancheng, can they?"
Rong Mo glanced at him and chuckled dismissively, "Gu Qingyan, I learned quite a bit about your 'glorious deeds' before I came here. Don't you think you're the least qualified to say that?"
According to you, your childhood sweetheart, Miss Xiao, has been arrested countless times? Or, to put it more bluntly, she's died several times already.
You've repeatedly protected this murderer, relying on the Gu family's power, and you have the nerve to question me?
Gu Qingyan's lips twitched involuntarily. He straightened his body, clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his chest heaved violently. He retorted defiantly, "This is my marriage with Zhi Qiu, it's my family matter, and you have no right to interfere!"
“Zhi Qiu is also my family. Since it’s a family matter, it’s only right and proper for me, as her older brother, to stand up for her.” Rong Mo wasn’t angry. He smiled faintly, as if he were watching a clown making his last stand.
Shen Zhi Qiu looked up at Rong Mo. Sibling affection? Family? She only had one sister, Shen Mei Yan, and had never experienced this kind of affection that was being protected. She felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, but at the same time, she felt warm inside. She looked at Rong Mo with complicated emotions.
"Don't be afraid." Rong Mo noticed her mood, so he gently patted the back of her hand and smiled indulgently. "We'll go back to the capital together later."
"Zhi Qiu is carrying my child. How can you bear to let the child be born without a father? Such a family is incomplete. You are too selfish. You deprive the child of the opportunity to have a happy family without considering the child's feelings."
Gu Qingyan realized that Rong Mo valued family ties, so she changed her approach and started playing the emotional card, trying to move them so that Shen Zhi Qiu could stay by his side.
"You may have some misunderstandings about the definition of a 'happy family'."
Rong Mo laughed sarcastically, "Do you think you have anything to do with the words 'happy family'?"
As a husband, you treat Miss Xiao better than your own wife, which is disloyal to your family. Moreover, Zhi Qiu has repeatedly put Miss Xiao and your good sister in danger because of Miss Xiao, but you have failed to protect her properly. Instead, you have been very lenient towards those who harmed her. You are not a good father at all.
If I were you, I'd want to hide away in shame; how could I possibly have the nerve to stand here and utter such ridiculous words with such conviction!
Being publicly reprimanded, Gu Qingyan's breathing became rapid and uneasy, and her voice was almost a roar as she shouted, "I have already apologized to Zhi Qiu and severed ties with Xiao Wanqing!"
After saying that, she quickly grabbed Shen Zhi Qiu's hand and said with a sad look in her eyes, "Zhi Qiu, can't you really forgive me? We've been married for several years, don't you have any feelings left?"
Didn't we make vows when we got married? Have you forgotten those vows?
I don't want a divorce, you know that, don't you? Besides, our children will definitely be adorable babies. Can you really bear to see them grow up without their father's presence?
When they grow up, and people ask them why their father doesn't live with them, they'll be sad, won't they? Let's all think about this for our children, okay? Don't act impulsively.
Gu Qingyan spoke earnestly, but Shen Zhi Qiu ignored him.
Gu Qingyan felt somewhat defeated and slowly lowered her head, and the atmosphere began to become oppressive and somber.
Thinking of her child, Shen Zhi Qiu closed her eyes in pain. She sighed deeply and slowly but firmly withdrew her hand.
"Gu Qingyan, from the moment I proposed divorce, I was absolutely determined."
Shen Zhi Qiu sighed again, and Gu Qing Yan slowly raised his head to look at her. He didn't know when it had started, but Shen Zhi Qiu no longer gave him a kind look, and when she did look at him, she would frown and look unhappy.
He couldn't remember the last time she smiled at him.
"You always think I'm just being stubborn with you, but I know very well that I'm not."
Even if we divorce, the children may not have the same material conditions if they stay with me, but at least they will grow up in an environment full of love.
You've been neither a good husband nor a good father to me. You've mentioned many times that you fell in love with me at first sight, but I'm sorry, I didn't feel that love. You could say that you were young and naive, and didn't know how to express your love.
But Gu Qingyan, that's your own problem.
So many young people know how to express themselves, but you don't, which means you've never truly loved me.
Seeing Gu Qingyan about to speak in defense, Shen Zhi Qiu smiled bitterly, shook her head, and continued, "If I didn't feel any love, then I didn't. Besides, I've seen how you protect and dote on Xiao Wanqing. You say you have no relationship, only gratitude and guilt, but I'm sorry, I can't agree with your thinking."
Since we have different opinions, there's no need for us to say anything more.
Between you and me, there's no other way but divorce. Let's part amicably. I'll send you the divorce papers again as soon as possible; I hope you'll sign them readily this time.
After saying this, Shen Zhi Qiu did not wait for Gu Qing Yan's reply. She simply asked Rong Mo and Lu Jia to wait for her at the door for a while, and then turned and walked into the room.
