"Zhi Qiu, is this what you're thinking?"
Gu Suian asked softly.
Actually, he had guessed what Rong Mo was going to say when he and Mu Ziqi sat down, but he didn't expect him to be so direct.
Originally, the two of them had anticipated this matter on their way to the capital. Based on the idea of "better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage", and the fact that they really treated Shen Zhi Qiu as their own daughter, they were really reluctant to let Shen Zhi Qiu leave the Gu family. They still wanted to talk to Zhi Qiu slowly and try to win her back.
However, now that Rong Mo has raised the issue, they have no way to deliberate or avoid it any longer.
"Dad, Mom." Shen Zhi Qiu sat up straight, feeling a little reluctant to look at her parents' expectant eyes, but still decided to follow her heart. "I am very grateful for your care all this time. No matter what has happened over the years, you have always stood by my side. I am very touched and grateful."
However, the days after our marriage were spent by Gu Qingyan and me.
I once thought we could live a good life together, and I originally thought we could have a simple and happy family.
Mom and Dad, do you know? I was terrified the day I found out I was pregnant because I knew Xiao Wanqing was back. That night, when I got home, Xiao Wanqing acted like the lady of the house, brazenly moving into our marital home. Seeing their 'cozy' scenes in front of me, I really...
Mentioning that night, Shen Zhi Qiu still felt a little aggrieved, "Mom and Dad, do you know how heartbroken I was?"
"I just felt that Wanqing had nowhere to stay since she just returned to the country, so I kindly took her to my home." Gu Qingyan became more and more flustered as she listened, and couldn't help but interrupt her.
"Is that so?" Shen Zhi Qiu smiled helplessly. "Gu Qing Yan, does the Gu family lack real estate? No, they don't. Even if they did, couldn't they stay at a hotel under the Gu Group? There were so many options, yet you chose the one that hurt me the most."
Seeing that Gu Qingyan was about to argue, Shen Zhi Qiu stopped him, "Let me finish. Let me explain."
First, when I got home, you were wearing an apron and washing grapes for Xiao Wan in the kitchen. Tell me, have you ever done that to me? Have you ever washed fruit for me? The answer is no.
Secondly, Xiao Wanqing fed you grapes in front of me, and you even took a bite from her hand so intimately. Is that how friends and siblings without blood ties behave? I've never seen anything like it.
Third, you took Xiao Wanqing out to meet your friends, for drinking parties. You've been married to me for three years, have you ever specifically taken me to meet your friends? They probably don't even remember what I look like anymore.
Fourth, when Xiao Wanqing and I had any disagreements, did you protect me? No, you always protected her.
......
Xiao Wanqing had me kidnapped and taken to a long-abandoned factory, where she chased me with a knife in the middle of the night. If I hadn't been lucky enough to hide and then been rescued by Lu Jia in time, would I still be standing here talking to you?
......”
Sensing Rong Mo's increasingly oppressive aura, Shen Zhi Qiu paused for a moment. Seeing Rong Mo's hands already clenched into fists as he tried to control himself, not wanting to worry Rong Mo, Shen Zhi Qiu decided to stop talking.
"Forget it, there's no need to say anything more. You know what's going on."
"Zhi Qiu, I'm sorry." Gu Qingyan felt a pang of pain in his heart as he listened to these words. He knew that if he couldn't get Shen Zhi Qiu's forgiveness, he would really lose her.
"I don't want to lose you." Gu Qingyan's eyes stung as he looked at Shen Zhi Qiu's cold face and pleaded softly, "Can we wait a month until it's over? Zhi Qiu, I can't imagine life without you. All these years, I've always loved you, I just didn't know how to express it."
“That’s not a reason,” Shen Zhi Qiu said calmly, her eyes filled with relief. “You’ve always known how to protect Xiao Wan Qing; you’ve always covered for her no matter what she does.”
You don't reflect on yourself or try to be better to me; you just say you won't.
But with Xiao Wanqing, you were completely natural.
Isn't this incredibly ironic?
I am your wife, but you've never cared.
Seeing that Gu Qingyan remained silent, Shen Zhi Qiu continued, "You can say whatever you want to refute. But don't say you love me anymore, I don't believe a word of it."
"Zhiqiu, I really know I was wrong! I told you before that I have deeply realized my mistake and I am really trying to change." Gu Qingyan struggled for a moment, still wanting to persuade him to stay.
“But I don’t want to wait.” Shen Zhi Qiu gave a bitter smile. “I don’t want to be with you anymore. And, Qing Yan,” Shen Zhi Qiu said with some resistance, “the feelings between us have long been exhausted by your actions. I just want to leave you now.”
Gu Qingyan struggled to get up, but the movement aggravated his wound, causing his lips to tremble in pain.
Mu Ziqi had been watching Shen Zhi Qiu, but upon hearing Gu Qingyan's struggling voice, she sighed and cleared her throat. "Qingyan, stop talking. Lie down and rest."
Gu Qingyan's eyes lit up, thinking that Mu Ziqi was going to speak up for him, so he quickly shut up.
"Zhiqiu, back then it was Qingyan who came to me begging us to propose marriage to the Shen family, insisting that he must marry you."
I believe Qingyan loves you. As for Xiao Wanqing's situation, I don't know how it turned out this way, so let's not talk about that for now.
Now you've come to this point. This isn't the first time I've heard you so determined to get a divorce, since it's truly beyond repair.
