Gu Jin, who was usually very assertive, was taken aback when she heard Gu Ye say this: "What do you mean?"
Gu Ye was silent for a moment: "Sheng Sheng wants a divorce!"
Gu Jin looked shocked: "She wants a divorce? Why?"
Gu Ye couldn't explain in just a few words why Yu Sheng wanted to divorce Gu Ye.
He didn't want to say more, and casually said, "She found out I was keeping a little thing on the side..."
Gu Jin looked at him incredulously: "You cheated on me?"
"It wasn't cheating, it was just for fun, there were no feelings involved!"
Gu Jin didn't take it seriously: "Since you don't care about that woman outside, then what is she making a fuss about?"
“Now is not the time to dwell on this. In a few days, it will be the day of my wedding banquet with her. If she proposes a divorce and cancels the banquet now, it will inevitably cause our family to be criticized by others.”
"Is she trying to make our Gu family a laughingstock by bringing up divorce at this time?"
"Of course not, it's just..."
Before Gu Ye could finish speaking, Gu Jin interrupted him, saying in a harsh voice, "In my opinion, she did it on purpose. When you wanted to be with her, our whole family disagreed. Now look what you've done! Look at the piece of trash you've found!"
Seeing Gu Jin slandering Yu Sheng like this, Gu Ye became somewhat angry and defended her: "She is my wife. I know whether she did it on purpose or not. If you want to slander her, don't do it in front of me, or don't blame me for turning against you."
Gu Jin sneered: "You're going to turn against me for a worthless burden? Fine, go ahead and turn against me. People outside call you Fourth Young Master Gu, and you really think you're something special. If you're so capable, then don't come begging to me!"
Gu Jin is not only ambitious but also strong-willed, a true example of being tough on the outside but tough on the inside. Gu Ye appears gentle but is actually cunning. The two siblings, one strong and the other gentle, get along quite well on a daily basis.
Now, both of them have become tougher, and they are now locked in a fierce battle.
The atmosphere instantly became tense, as if swords were about to be drawn.
Just then, Yueyue ran over and urged Gu Jin, "Mom, haven't you finished talking to Uncle yet? I'm going to be late for school!"
Gu Jin was already furious because Gu Ye was about to turn against her over a child, and her daughter's urging only fueled her anger. She glared at her daughter and yelled, "No!!"
Yueyue was usually afraid of Gu Jin, and now that she had been yelled at like that, her little body trembled with fear, and tears welled up in her eyes. But she dared not cry, as that would only make her mother angrier. Without uttering a sound, she turned and ran upstairs...
Gu Ye had indeed come to ask Gu Jin for help, but even so, he had no intention of backing down. He stood up and looked at Gu Jin: "If you want to see the Gu family lose face, then you don't have to help!"
After saying that, Gu turned and walked towards the entrance.
Watching Gu Ye's departing figure, Gu Jin angrily grabbed a plate and smashed it on the ground. Then she shouted to Yueyue upstairs, "Come downstairs!!"
After Yueyue came downstairs shakily, Gu Jin drove her to kindergarten.
On the road.
Yueyue, her eyes red, huddled in her seat and secretly texted Chen Henian's secretary, Wen Shuya: "Auntie Yaya, Uncle came to see Mom. They said something, and Mom got really angry. I'm so scared..."
...
Although Gu Jin was reluctant to use the favor Charles owed her on Yu Sheng, she ultimately compromised for the sake of the Gu family's reputation.
This was within Gu Ye's expectations. He did not tell Yu Sheng the good news directly, but instead made an appointment with Yu Jing.
They met at the same coffee shop as yesterday.
When Yu Jing received Gu Ye's invitation call, she had no idea how to face him.
She told him confidently yesterday: As long as she's there, they won't get a divorce!
But now...sigh!
Because of the worry that Yu Sheng was going to divorce Gu Ye, she didn't sleep all night and shed a lot of tears. Although she was dressed as elegantly as usual, she looked much more haggard, as if she had been seriously ill overnight.
Gu arrived first.
After he arrived, he ordered a cup of coffee and calmly drank about half of it before Yu Jing arrived.
When he saw her enter, he immediately stood up respectfully.
Yu Jing already didn't know how to face Gu Ye, and seeing his attitude made her even more at a loss.
After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward.
As soon as she approached, Gu smiled and called out, "Mom..."
After Yu Jing responded somewhat embarrassedly, she sat down opposite Gu Ye, pondering how to tell him that she couldn't stop Yu Sheng from divorcing him. Gu Ye spoke first—
"Mom, I called you out because I have some good news to tell you."
"Good news? What good news?"
"Xiao Cheng is very likely to wake up."
Yu Jing was preoccupied with the thought of Yu Sheng and Gu Yao getting a divorce when he suddenly mentioned Xiao Cheng. She paused, then asked, "Xiao Cheng might wake up? What do you mean?"
"Do you remember the news from abroad last year that shocked the medical community: a person who had been in a coma for three years was awakened through surgery?"
Yu Jing nodded: "I remember, the surgeon was Swiss!"
"That's right, he's Swiss, named Charles. I've contacted him, and he's agreed to perform the surgery on Xiao Cheng!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Jing showed neither excitement nor joy; instead, her expression was somewhat complicated.
Although Xiao Cheng was her biological son, whom she carried for ten months, she had no feelings for him.
Ten years ago, he was in a car accident and became a vegetable. If Yu Sheng hadn't begged him so desperately, she would never have paid his medical expenses.
She was willing to pay, but only to control Yu Sheng.
Once Yu Sheng used her divorce from Gu Ye as leverage to get Qiao Weiyang to pay Xiao Cheng's medical expenses, she would be completely out of her control.
This is one of the reasons why she couldn't sleep last night.
