Unfortunately, that book is told from Xu Zhenzhu's perspective. After she married Lu Kai, she appeared to be pampered by him to outsiders, but in reality, she was kept by him and had no idea what the outside world was like.
Therefore, she was unaware of Gu Zhiyuan's reputation and how he built his fortune.
I wonder how much effort Gu Zhiyuan put in and how much suffering he endured to become a big shot in Beijing in his past life.
It's obvious to anyone with half a brain that Gu Yong was so biased towards Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui, so Gu Zhiyuan's accident must have been due to severe physical harm, which led to his withdrawal from the National Security Bureau.
Gu Zhiyuan went from being a favored son of heaven to a useless son. Given the circumstances of the Gu family, Gu Yong would definitely hand over all his connections to Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui.
Gu Zhiyuan fell into the lowest point of his life, and then got back up. Heaven knows what he went through.
Thinking about it this way, if Gu Zhiyuan hadn't met me, and instead had such a scumbag father, he would have been truly hurt and wouldn't have been able to express his suffering.
I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
Thinking about it this way, it's perfectly normal that Gu Zhiyuan is so eager for Jiang Yuan and Gu Yong to divorce.
Gu Yong, such a loving father, deserves to be married to such a filial son!
To kill such an unfilial son is an outrage against heaven and earth!
Originally, Xu Ningyan didn't intend to get involved in the Gu family's mess, but now she changed her mind.
With a scumbag like Gu Yong and a treacherous family like the Gu family, if Gu Zhiyuan doesn't sever ties with them, he might be implicated in the future.
I'll protect my own golden thigh!
Logically speaking, she really didn't want to get involved in the mess that was going on with the Gu family.
Well, the fact that Xu Changfeng's matter was resolved so smoothly this time is all thanks to Gu Zhiyuan.
Moreover, Gu Zhiyuan has always been duty-bound to help her and never utters a word of objection.
Without even asking, he did everything he could and couldn't do, everything he should and shouldn't have done!
I'm not heartless, so naturally I was moved.
Also, for Gu Zhiyuan's sake, we have to rescue his biological mother from that scumbag Gu Yong. Otherwise, if she continues to be manipulated, not only will Jiang Yuan suffer for the rest of her life, but the two Gu brothers will also be unable to escape the Gu family and will suffer for the rest of their lives.
Fine, fine, I'll just agree! Consider it repaying a favor.
If Jiang Yuan can truly be persuaded to understand and leave the Gu family, this hellhole, it would be a good deed.
After thinking it through, Xu Ningyan nodded: "Going to the capital with you to persuade your aunt to get a divorce is no problem, but there are some things that need to be made clear first. If you agree, I will go; if you don't agree, then forget it, and we'll each go back to our own homes."
Seeing that Xu Ningyan had finally relented, Gu Zhiyuan was overjoyed and readily agreed, "Go ahead, go ahead—"
“First of all, I’m going to your house, but I definitely won’t stay there,” Xu Ningyan stated.
"Of course, I bought a small courtyard near my workplace and had Sun Zhou renovate it before I left. You'll be staying there since you're going to Beijing." Gu Zhiyuan was reluctant to let Xu Ningyan stay at the Gu family home, so he had already made arrangements.
"Secondly, when I advise your mother, I might say some things that are quite harsh and might offend her. Would you be able to accept that?"
Gu Zhiyuan continued nodding: "Of course, a loud drum needs a heavy hammer. If we don't expose the truth of the matter to my mother in a bloody way, she'll probably be coaxed back by Gu Yong with just a few words."
"Third, I've offended the Gu family and your father. If they want to retaliate against me, you'll have to protect my personal safety!" Xu Ningyan was still quite afraid of death. Gu Yong was in a high position and might have the tolerance to tolerate her.
Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui are ruthless and greedy, capable of harming even their half-brothers; their character cannot be underestimated.
Even Gu Zhiyuan almost met his end at their hands, so we need to be even more careful.
"Don't worry! I'm here for you! Even if I die, I'll fight with my last breath to keep you alive!" Gu Zhiyuan said resolutely.
"Moreover, the capital is not like Jingshan County. Every move I make is being watched. I am now a member of the National Security Bureau. If they want to touch me, that's a completely different matter! Even if Gu Dajun and Gu Da Kui have really lost their minds, Gu Yong is not senile yet. He will stop them!" Gu Zhiyuan thought for a moment, and fearing that Xu Ningyan would be scared, he added another sentence.
Xu Ningyan felt sorry for Gu Zhiyuan. It must be incredibly unlucky for him to have such a biased and muddle-headed father.
"Okay, then you go buy the tickets. I'll go look around and see if there's anything special I can buy and send back to Uncle Jianguo and Lin Hong!" Xu Ningyan officially agreed.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Gu Zhiyuan pulled Xu Ningyan into his arms: "Really? Thank you, Ningyan—"
The clean, refreshing scent of soap enveloped Xu Ningyan. Her face was pressed against Gu Zhiyuan's chest, warm and soft, and she could hear the rapid, excited, and joyful pounding of his heart...
Xu Ningyan couldn't help but secretly take a deep breath. Sigh, in her past life she was very knowledgeable online, but she had never been this close to a man in real life!
Her fingers twitched involuntarily, wanting to lift them up and wrap them around Gu Zhiyuan's waist, to see if he looked so strong and powerful.
The moment the thought crossed my mind and I raised my wrist, I seemed to hear someone speaking in the distance.
Xu Ningyan, who had been about to put her arm around Gu Zhiyuan's waist, immediately pushed him away. Her face flushed red, and she was filled with regret: What a pity! She was so close, she could have hugged him. Next time, next time she'll definitely find a secluded place and give him a proper touch—
Caught off guard, Gu Zhiyuan was pushed back two or three steps.
He was momentarily stunned, and before he could even hug his sweet and soft future wife, he felt that her whole body was soft and fragrant. He wanted to meld her into his body. So why was he pushed away?
Looking at Xu Ningyan's flushed face and unfocused eyes, plus the group of people walking towards them from afar, he couldn't help but grind his teeth: This place is not right! Next time, I must find a secluded place so I can have a good time with my future wife.
Both harbored their own secret intentions, though they didn't show it on their faces, they were both thinking about when they could secretly hug each other again.
Gu Zhiyuan calmed himself down and coughed, "Then, let's go back to the guesthouse first, I'll book the train tickets! Then borrow the army's phone and call Uncle Jianguo, so they won't worry!"
Xu Ningyan nodded.
The two returned to the guesthouse. Gu Zhiyuan went to book tickets, and she was about to wander around the streets when she heard someone in front of the guesthouse say that there would be a big market tomorrow, and people from the neighborhood would come to town to sell their goods.
Because of the military region, whatever produce comes from the surrounding countryside within a hundred miles will be brought to the town to sell during the market days.
After all, the families of military personnel are well-off and willing to spend money.
Xu Ningyan had a plan in mind. She figured that since it was market day tomorrow, she could buy some local specialties, send some back to Li Jianguo and the others, and take the rest as a gift to Beijing. She couldn't go empty-handed, could she?
When Gu Zhiyuan returned, the tickets were booked for noon the day after tomorrow. The military arranged the tickets directly, giving him a sleeper berth without any transfers, and a direct trip to Beijing in three days and two nights.
