Chapter 157 Gradual Progress
Gu Zijian stared directly at Shi Nianzhi, and at this moment, he seemed to have no more scruples.
"You'd better just cut it off. If my face is ruined, that man you love so much will have to marry me, or I'll send you to jail! Cut it off, cut it off hard. If you don't have the strength, I'll hold your hand and give you some extra strength!"
Gu Zijian was really going to grab Shi Nianzhi's wrist.
The next second, the hand gripping his neck tightened again, and Gu Zijian had no choice but to lower his hand to stop Shi Nianzhi.
He was being choked until he was suffocating, and his face turned red.
Shi Nianzhi suddenly let go of his hand, his cold gaze fixed on Gu Zijian, who was coughing desperately.
"The reason you're being treated this way is ultimately because you're the son of a mistress. Your birth was a mistake from the very beginning. But when you got sick, I still tried to help you. I contacted experts in the US, arranged hospitals and schools, and planned to tell you after my birthday so that someone could send you and your mother there to live. Unfortunately, I was in a car accident the day before my birthday, all thanks to you."
Gu Zijian's hand, which was covering his neck, froze for a moment. He quickly realized what he meant and said, "Who cares about your charity! Do you think I'll be grateful to you for giving me those things?"
Gu Zijian's face was gloomy as he stared intently at Shi Nianzhi.
He went on to say, "You have no idea what kind of suffering I've endured. Why should I have to live that kind of life? Look at me now, this is what I want—to trample you under my feet, to trample the entire Gu family under my feet! This is what I want! I'll change the company's name in the future. If I want to, I can destroy it! You care about the foundation that the Gu family has built up over generations, but I don't care!"
Shi Nianzhi coldly looked at Gu Zijian, who was already somewhat insane.
Gu Zijian laughed out loud, "I want to change my name too. I don't want to be surnamed Gu anymore. This surname disgusts me. From now on, if I want to, I'll make sure the Gu family is removed from the capital. With the family business in my hands, I can squander it however I want!"
"The shareholders won't let you off the hook; you simply don't understand business."
Gu Zijian chuckled softly, "You're just scared, aren't you? After all, you're nothing now, just a substitute from the countryside. So what if I don't know anything about business? I'm in charge of the Gu family now, I can do whatever I want, what's it to you? What right do you have to ask? Who do you think you are!"
"Then hold onto your chips tightly."
Shi Nianzhi seemed too lazy to watch Gu Zijian go crazy, so he turned and left.
Anyway, he will make Gu Zijian lose everything he has, one by one. He is not worthy of his position, and he will have to give it back sooner or later.
Shi Nianzhi opened the door and walked out of the villa.
This is a property under his name. Gu Zijian chose to live here because it is very close to Lu Jiunian, with doors facing each other.
When this villa complex was being designed, he had his eye on this place. In such a large villa area, they were the only ones directly across from each other.
Although the two houses across the street are quite far apart, they are still somewhat of a good match in terms of social standing.
When he was young, he racked his brains every day to figure out how to win over Lu Jiunian. Now, looking back, it all seems like a distant memory.
Between them was Shi Nianzhi, that silly fool whose eyes would light up whenever he saw Lu Jiunian.
Lu Jiunian was hospitalized for three days, and Shi Nianzhi didn't even send a single text message to inquire about his well-being, let alone visit him.
This left the man in the hospital bed feeling depressed and clearly unhappy.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Gu Zijian didn't want to cause trouble for him, so he came less often.
Country L.
A country where you can get married once you turn 18 (by the traditional Chinese age reckoning).
The blond, blue-eyed clerk looked gently at the two people in front of him. "This is the marriage certificate. If you two are sure you want to spend your lives together, please sign it."
Gu Yuanyuan stared at the gibberish on the marriage certificate, which he couldn't understand at all. He asked in English, "Where do I sign?"
The staff member smiled and pointed to the place on the marriage certificate, "Here's the name, here's the date, and here's the fingerprint."
"Thanks."
Gu Yuanyuan wrote her name neatly.
Just because he can't read the words on the marriage certificate doesn't mean Su Heng can't read them either.
Su Heng lowered his eyes, looking at the vows of lifelong commitment above, his eyes still flashing with complex emotions.
Gu Yuanyuan stared at Su Hengyi with anxious eyes. If he weren't afraid, he would have pressed Su Hengyi's hand to write it down.
Su Hengyi examined the marriage certificate before him, remaining silent and not writing.
The staff looked around and finally whispered to Su Hengyi, "If you've been kidnapped, please blink, and we'll call the police for you."
Because Su Hengyi had spoken to him in the local language when he arrived, and Gu Yuanyuan obviously only spoke standard English, the staff specifically reminded Su Hengyi in the local language.
Gu Yuanyuan slammed her hand on the table. "What gibberish are you spouting! Don't bother him, or I'll tear your mouth apart if you dare say another word!"
He was very nervous, afraid that Su Hengyi would back out now that they had come this far.
Seeing Gu Yuanyuan's fierce appearance, the staff member pursed his lips and awkwardly shut up.
Su Hengyi finally moved; he picked up the pen and signed.
Just as it was time to put her fingerprints on the paper, Gu Yuanyuan suddenly spoke up, "Wait a minute."
He pulled a knife out of his pocket.
The staff member was so frightened that he immediately hid behind a chair, put his wallet on the table, and shouted in English, "This is all I have."
Gu Yuanyuan rolled his eyes; he couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to the staff.
Then he unbuttoned his shirt, made a cut in his chest with the sharp blade, put the knife away, and grabbed Su Hengyi's thumb, pressing it down.
"I hope you can love me for a lifetime. If not, at least remember me for a lifetime. Anyway, I'm the first man to marry you, and I hope I'll be the last."
After getting the blood on his finger, Gu Yuanyuan pressed Su Hengyi's thumb onto the marriage certificate.
He pressed the button himself, and holding the completed marriage certificate, Gu Yuanyuan smiled purely and innocently.
"I've put a spell on you. If you sign the marriage certificate with my heart's blood, you'll love me more and more from now on."
"childish."
Su Heng turned around, as if he had come and gone as routinely as he was supposed to.
Gu Yuanyuan slammed her hand on the table and asked the staff member, "When will I receive my marriage certificate?"
"It will be made and mailed to you within seven business days."
"Here, my marriage certificate."
"OK."
The staff member took the marriage certificate from Gu Yuanyuan's hand with one hand.
"Smack—"
Gu Yuanyuan slapped his hand hard. "Don't underestimate this piece of paper. It's my life. You better take it seriously, or I'll report you!"
Staff member: "......"
"Did you hear that!"
The staff member smiled at Gu Yuanyuan, this mischievous kid, and asked, "What constitutes seriousness?"
Gu Yuanyuan raised her chin and said arrogantly, "Hold it with both hands, be careful not to break it! I want to frame it with gold and put it in my bank safe."
"Yes, sir."
The staff member bent down at a 90-degree angle, took the marriage certificate with both hands, and treated it with a very serious expression.
Gu Yuanyuan nodded in satisfaction and took the bag off the chair.
Then—whoosh!
He poured out a bunch of wedding candies wrapped in red gift boxes, and before leaving, he tossed out, "You're welcome."
The staff member sat down in a chair, breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his chest. He picked up a box of candy, opened it, and saw the double happiness character on the candy. He didn't recognize it, but he found it very novel.
He ate the candy and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
Okay, I'll forgive this Gu Yuanyuan.
Shi Nianzhi lowered the car window slightly, and Su Heng got out and sat in the passenger seat.
"What about Yuanyuan?"
"in."
"If you don't like him, why did you marry him? You're not responsible for his leg injury; it was his own choice. You need to understand that by giving him hope, you're only hurting him."
Gu Yuanyuan felt that even the air was sweet today. He limped slowly toward the car, his eyes filled with a satisfied smile.
Su Heng leaned back in his car seat, looking very tired. "It doesn't matter if it's him or anyone else."
Shi Nianzhi wanted to say that this was unfair to Gu Yuanyuan, but when he saw Gu Yuanyuan smiling like a fool, Shi Nianzhi ultimately didn't say it.
Ultimately, it's just that Gu Yuanyuan is willing. Even if Su Hengyi doesn't marry him, he'll probably still rack his brains to pester Su Hengyi.
Instead of doing that, why not just step into the grave of marriage? You're still young, you might be out in a few years.
"Uncle! Have some wedding candy."
"good."
Shi Nianzhi took the wedding candy from Gu Yuanyuan, "You're not going to throw candy all over the street, are you?"
"I'm not brain-dead."
Gu Yuanyuan sat in the back seat of the car. He glanced at Su Hengyi and then asked Shi Nianzhi, "Uncle, when are you going to deal with that imposter? Are you unable to handle him? My parents and I will go back and tear him apart for you."
As Shi Nianzhi drove, he glanced at the road and said in a leisurely voice, "What's the rush? I can handle this on my own. It's only a matter of time before I tear him apart."
"Brother Su said he's going to study at a university in the US, a prestigious institution, a world-class university, and he's actually going to study there."
"Do you want to go?"
"Uncle, are you going?"
"I'm not going. It doesn't really matter where I study. Some people like to challenge themselves, but I don't."
“I don’t want to go either, but I’m a woman who follows her husband wherever he goes. If he wants to go, I will go.”
Su Hengyi may be a genius, but Gu Yuanyuan is also highly intelligent, and with some effort, she can keep up.
Shi Nianzhi nodded. "Don't you dislike reading? Don't force yourself."
"There's no reason to separate right after getting married. By the way, Uncle, Lu Jiunian, you're not planning to get back together with him, are you? He's a real scumbag."
Gu Yuanyuan seemed to want to stop talking about reading, so she subtly changed the subject.
Shi Nianzhi hummed in agreement, then said, "I'll wash his eyes first, and the rest depends on my mood."
Su Hengyi suddenly spoke up, "It seems that Lu Jiunian has been investigating you recently."
"investigation?"
"He sent people to your hometown."
Shi Nianzhi held the steering wheel with one hand, rested his chin on the other, and tapped lightly with his fingertips. "As expected of the Su family's intelligence network, did he find out?"
