Once the two brothers left, Jiang Yuan looked visibly haggard.
She plopped down on the bed, hunched over, covered her face, and said wearily, "Xiao Yan, you've really had a hard day. I'm sorry you had to see me like this. Why don't you lie down for a bit?"
Xu Ningyan hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "Auntie, I'm sleepy and can't fall asleep. Why don't you rest for a while? I'll go help Brother Gu and the others pack their luggage!"
He quickly left, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
The moment she closed the door, she saw Jiang Yuan lose control of herself, let out a short sob, and bite hard on the clothes on her arm...
Xu Ningyan remained silent at the door for a moment before going to find the Gu Zhiyuan brothers.
Gu Zhiyuan didn't have many belongings in this house. Apart from a few changes of clothes, bed sheets and blankets that Jiang Yuan had prepared for him, there were only some odds and ends from his childhood.
When Xu Ningyan arrived, everything was already mostly tidied up.
Seeing Xu Ningyan, Gu Zhiyuan wasn't surprised at all. He gestured for Xu Ningyan to come inside and sit down: "You can rest in my room for a while. Let my mother be alone for a bit and vent! She's been just putting on a brave face—"
Xu Ningyan sighed, feeling quite sympathetic towards Jiang Yuan.
She was once the most beautiful girl in the army, pursued by countless men. After careful selection, she thought she had found a revolutionary partner who shared her ideals and feelings.
Decades later, you realize you were blind and deceived for half your life. Who could bear that?
To put it nicely, Jiang Yuan is magnanimous and patient!
To put it bluntly, Jiang Yuan's personality is too naive and cowardly, and her current situation is also her own fault.
Unlike in later generations, there was a medical student who, after being betrayed by her boyfriend, stabbed him more than twenty times, each stab drawing blood but avoiding vital organs. In the end, the medical examination revealed that the scumbag only suffered minor injuries.
If it were her, she would definitely make sure Gu Yong loses a leg!
But who can blame Jiang Yuan when she's Gu Zhiyuan's biological mother? Besides, as a woman, she naturally has to stand on the side of women. So, in short, Gu Yong is a scumbag! The Gu family is a trap!
Gu Zhiyuan quickly packed everything up, and it seemed a little inappropriate for the two of them to just sit in the room.
I decided to go and see Gu Zhixing pack his things.
Gu Zhixing has already started working, and his company provides dormitories. However, because he feels sorry for Jiang Yuan, he only stays in the company dormitory for a couple of days occasionally, and he usually stays at the Gu family home.
He had a lot of stuff; he had already packed two large duffel bags, and there was still a lot left to pack.
Seeing her elder brother and Xu Ningyan enter, she said worriedly, "I still have so much stuff here, and I can't pack it all up right away. I'm afraid they'll take it if I leave it here—"
This wasn't the first time this had happened. Gu Zhixing didn't have the habit of locking the door, and as a result, his things had been stolen from his room several times.
When pressed for details, Gu Dajun and his family said that the child was just being silly and took the things to play with. Not only did they not get the things back, they were also lectured, told that as an uncle, how could he be so shameless as to argue with a child?
Later, Gu Zhixing simply bought a few locks and locked the doors to his and Gu Zhiyuan's rooms, which made things a little better.
Now that things have turned sour, I'm afraid that no sooner they leave than Gu Dajun and his men will come and kick down the door themselves.
Growing angrier by the thought, Gu Zhixing muttered, "We can't move all of this this time. Wouldn't leaving it behind just be letting them benefit? If only we could move it all, I could empty the Gu family's house."
Xu Ningyan chuckled at Gu Zhixing: "Isn't that simple? Do you know anyone in the logistics department? Just ask them to send a car, and preferably two people, to help you move everything your aunt and you bought out of the house. Afterwards, treat them to a meal, buy them some cigarettes, or just reimburse the logistics department for the gas money. That's it! Why worry so much?"
Gu Zhixing's eyes lit up. Over the years, although Gu Yong had secretly secured many benefits for his two sons, Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui, he was the most honest and incorruptible person living in the compound, never taking advantage of public funds.
He strictly forbade his family members from using his name and banner to cause trouble for the logistics department.
So Gu Zhixing hadn't really thought of that for the time being.
Since I'm leaving the Gu family anyway, it's not unreasonable to use Gu Yong's name one last time, right? He'll pay for the gas!
Thinking about it this way, Gu Zhixing felt more justified.
I was thinking of making the call when the logistics department was open at dawn.
Before that, you need to inspect the house and mark the items in advance so that when the person arrives, you can just move them in.
Gu Zhixing, a young man, could stay up for days and nights without any problem. He was so excited that he didn't sleep. He dragged Xu Ningyan up and down the stairs, pointing out things in the house that Jiang Yuan had bought and that they were moving out.
After walking around the Gu family compound with Gu Zhixing, Xu Ningyan realized that if they moved all the things Jiang Yuan had prepared, as Gu Zhixing had suggested, the Gu family compound would probably be practically an empty shell.
Gu Yong's treatment was such that the house belonged to the government, and the furniture was basically all provided; these things couldn't be moved.
However, most of the other furnishings in the house were bought by Jiang Yuan.
Especially after Gu Dajun and the others were brought back, they would ask Gu Yong for anything they needed, and Gu Yong would ask Jiang Yuan to buy it for them.
If it were strictly a matter of whoever bought it moves out, I'm afraid the Gu family wouldn't even have a pair of chopsticks left.
I wonder what the Gu family's expression will be after they move their things away.
Xu Ningyan expressed her anticipation!
Gu Zhixing also wanted to see the true colors of these people!
The two hit it off immediately. One racked his brains to think of what else his mother had bought, while the other took a piece of paper, cut it into countless small strips, and wrote the character "Jiang" on them. He also found a bottle of unused paste. Whenever Gu Zhixing said that Jiang Yuan had bought it, he would stick a small strip with the character "Jiang" on it.
After walking around the room, notes were scattered everywhere.
After nervously pressing her fingerprints, the nanny went back inside, too afraid to sleep or turn on the lights.
I stayed awake until it was time to make breakfast, then opened the door and went into the kitchen to cook.
But they found that there were notes stuck on all the pots and pans in the kitchen. Just as they were about to touch them, Gu Zhixing said, "Don't touch anything with notes on it! My mom bought those, and they belong to my mom and us. We're taking them with us later!"
The nanny was dumbfounded. Before, she might have been able to rely on Gu Dajun and his group's influence to whisper a few words about Gu Zhiyuan and Gu Zhixing behind their backs.
She heard everything that happened last night, so how could she dare to refute it?
He hesitated for a moment, then timidly knocked on Fang Dani's door.
Fang Dani wasn't in her room. After everything was made clear last night and she signed the divorce papers and the separation of family ties, she stopped hiding anything. After Gu Yong vomited blood, she insisted on going to the guest room to take care of him and keep him company.
Gu Yong hadn't slept all night and vomited blood. He was getting old and was now lying in bed, feeling groggy.
Fang Dani busied herself, wetting a towel to wipe Gu Yong's body, then kneeling behind him to massage his temples, her hands aching but she didn't dare to stop.
