"Heh, that's just blatant jealousy." Xiao Wanqing smiled calmly, deliberately provoking Shen Zhi Qiu. "Last night, Qing Yan stayed in my room with me until very late. We talked about a lot of funny things from the past."
"Oh? Is that so?" Shen Zhi Qiu chuckled. "What could I possibly be jealous of about you?" She then looked Xiao Wan Qing up and down. "Jealous that your figure isn't as good as mine? Jealous that the person on Gu Qing Yan's marriage certificate is me and not you? Or jealous that you're such a successful mistress and got pregnant with an illegitimate child? Besides, what could we possibly talk about in ten minutes last night?"
Xiao Wanqing's face fell instantly. Before she could refute Shen Zhi Qiu's mocking words, her first thought was whether Shen Zhi Qiu hadn't slept last night. That shouldn't be the case, since she was pregnant and went to bed early.
"Also, where are Miss Xiao's parents?"
"What?" Xiao Wanqing was still thinking about the previous topic and hadn't come to her senses at all.
Shen Zhi Qiu pouted, "I thought so. It must be because her parents didn't discipline her properly. After all, an unmarried girl staying in a married man's marital home and dragging him to her room in the middle of the night, if people knew, they would say you two had a good relationship. If they didn't know, they would definitely say you were seducing a married man and didn't know how to be chaste."
With a wicked smile, he said, "Miss Xiao, I'm glad you were born in modern times. If you were in ancient times, you'd be drowned in a pig cage."
Xiao Wanqing's face twitched, and she rushed to Shen Zhi Qiu. She raised her hand to hit her face, but suddenly, she glanced at the stairs out of the corner of her eye, her expression changed, and she fell directly to the ground.
Shen Zhi Qiu stared blankly at her performance, unable to understand her bizarre actions for a moment.
"Wanqing, what's wrong?" Gu Qingyan, who had just reached the corner of the stairs, quickly ran towards Xiao Wanqing.
Shen Zhi Qiu then realized that this woman was using tricks to gain sympathy.
"Shen Zhi Qiu, that's enough!" Gu Qing Yan helped Xiao Wan Qing up, and looking at her somewhat swollen knees, he angrily shouted at Shen Zhi Qiu.
"Mr. Gu, what does her falling down have to do with me?" Shen Zhi Qiu sat on the sofa, looking at them coldly.
Xiao Wanqing gently tugged at Gu Qingyan's arm and said with a sob in her voice, "Zhiqiu didn't do it on purpose. I just tripped and fell."
Shen Zhi Qiu sneered, "Miss Xiao, your acting is really good. It's a pity you're a painter. You should go into acting. Even an Oscar-winning actress could become your student."
"Zhi Qiu, I don't know how I offended you. Why do you hate me so much? If I really did something wrong unintentionally, I apologize to you."
Xiao Wanqing's eyes reddened, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She sniffed pitifully and unconsciously stroked her stomach gently.
"Wanqing, I'll take you to the hospital." Gu Qingyan bent down, picked up Xiao Wanqing, and walked towards the front door.
"Remember to check your belly too, don't fall and blame me if you hurt yourself." Shen Zhi Qiu thought of Xiao Wan Qing's gesture of stroking her belly and said sarcastically. At the same time, a doubt arose in her heart. She was pregnant and dared to pretend to fall? She was really ruthless to herself for a man's pity.
Gu Qingyan wanted to turn around and say something, but Xiao Wanqing grabbed his arm and buried her tear-streaked face in his chest.
Gu Qingyan had no choice but to quicken her pace.
When Butler Chen saw Gu Qingyan carrying Xiao Wanqing out, he quickly helped open the car door.
"Take Wanqing to the hospital," Gu Qingyan instructed Uncle Chen as he placed Xiao Wanqing in the back seat of the car.
"Qingyan, aren't you coming with me?" Xiao Wanqing asked, her eyes red and looking at him with a pitiful expression.
"Wanqing, I have something urgent to attend to today and can't go with you. Uncle Chen will take good care of you. Call me if anything happens."
After saying that, Gu Qingyan closed the car door and turned to walk towards the living room.
"Aren't you going?" Shen Zhi Qiu was somewhat surprised to see Gu Qing Yan return.
"Do I have to go with you?" Gu Qingyan frowned.
"Whatever you want, you're President Gu, you can do whatever you want, who can stop you. But isn't Miss Xiao your precious darling? She's injured, you'd be heartbroken, wouldn't you? Why aren't you going with her? What if she breaks her leg or hurts her stomach?"
"Do you have to be so sarcastic?" Gu Qingyan asked impatiently, tugging at his tie.
"You were the one who protected Xiao Wanqing and yelled at me without even asking what happened. Why should I talk to you nicely?" Shen Zhi Qiu turned her face away, completely ignoring him.
Gu Qingyan sighed, "Let's go."
He then picked up the suit jacket he had just placed on the sofa and walked towards the door.
Shen Zhi Qiu glanced at him suspiciously. He agreed to the divorce so readily? Her eyes darted around. He must have had a fight with Xiao Wan Qing earlier and was afraid of hurting his precious darling again. This scoundrel, he's really loyal and devoted to other women.
Shen Zhi Qiu angrily picked up her handbag and followed.
A Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of the Gu family villa.
Shen Zhi Qiu opened the back door and got in.
"Sit in the front, I'm not your driver," Gu Qingyan's cool voice came from the front.
Shen Zhi Qiu frowned, thinking that she should get rid of this bastard man as soon as possible at the Civil Affairs Bureau, but she still sat down.
"You really have a sense of ritual. Three years ago, when we went to get our marriage certificate, you drove this car. Today, you're getting a divorce. It's like you're seeing things through to the end," Shen Zhi Qiu said sarcastically.
Gu Qingyan didn't say anything and drove off.
They walked in silence. Shen Zhi Qiu went online to research how property would be divided in a divorce. She didn't dare to think about a 50/50 split; she just wanted some basic security. After all, even if she took 5% of Gu Qing Yan's wealth, it would be enough for her to live on for the rest of her life.
While waiting at a traffic light at a fork in the road, Shen Zhi Qiu looked up at the window and then turned to look at Gu Qing Yan. "This isn't the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
“That wasn’t it in the first place.” Gu Qingyan looked straight ahead. “When did I ever say I was going to the Civil Affairs Bureau?”
"You!" Shen Zhi Qiu said angrily, "We clearly agreed this morning that we were going to get a divorce, and I even threw the marriage certificate at you."
"First, we didn't agree on this; it was your unilateral decision. Second, don't throw away the marriage certificate carelessly. I'll forgive you since you're still half asleep."
"Are you out of your mind? Gu Qingyan, go get treatment if you're sick! You keep saying it has nothing to do with Xiao Wanqing. Don't think I don't know. I saw you go back to your room with Xiao Wanqing last night, and she admitted it this morning. Don't try to deny it. The lipstick mark on your neck is solid evidence! Besides..." Shen Zhi Qiu really didn't want to discuss Xiao Wanqing's pregnancy with him; she just felt disgusted.
"What? Wanqing admitted it?" Gu Qingyan was a little confused, but then said, "So, that's why you pushed her?"
These words sounded like an accusation to Shen Zhi Qiu, and her face darkened. "What? So you're going to seek justice for your Xiao Wan Qing?"
