Chapter 9 He died
The staff were also taken aback by their display of force. Fortunately, Su Hengyi cleared the area, otherwise it would have been another sensational news story.
They quickly prepared the divorce certificate and handed it over.
Su Heng reached out to take them, but Gu Yuanyuan snatched them from his hand. He held the two divorce certificates, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe.
He looked at Su Hengyi and said, "Brother Su, will I no longer have a home in this city?"
Su Heng remained silent.
Gu Yuanyuan cried and said, "Please don't leave me. I don't know how I can live without you."
Su Heng tried to grab one of the divorce certificates, but he couldn't pull it out of Gu Yuanyuan's hand.
Gu Yuanyuan clutched the divorce certificate like a drowning person grasping at the only straw.
At this moment, Su Hengyi was about to snatch away his lifeline.
Gu Yuanyuan shook her head, choking back tears. "I don't know what to do, how to stop the pain and discomfort."
"The house is yours."
"I don't want to!"
Gu Yuanyuan's voice, gradually rising in volume, echoed throughout the vast Civil Affairs Bureau, filled with such sorrow, "I don't want a house! I want you, I want you so much! Where you are, even if I live in a slum, it's still home. Without you, even if I live in a palace, it's not home. I want two people, a home..."
Gu Yuanyuan knelt before Su Hengyi, finally shedding all his pride and dignity at this moment, and hugged Su Hengyi's leg.
He stopped trying to persuade her to stay and just kept crying, like a shrewish and resentful man who had been abandoned, making him seem both laughable and pathetic.
"Our marriage is dissolved, so whether we have this certificate or not is no longer important. Take care of yourself, Gu Yuanyuan."
Su Heng turned his head and said to the bodyguard, "Pull him away."
The bodyguard went up and grabbed Gu Yuanyuan's shoulder, but Gu Yuanyuan clung to Su Hengyi's leg and refused to let go. He no longer tried to persuade her to stay, but he wouldn't let go.
Even at the very end, he stopped crying.
The bodyguards pried open his fingers one by one, making his ten fingers ache terribly, but he still refused to let go of Su Hengyi.
Above Gu Yuanyuan was a man's cold voice, just like his feelings for her, devoid of any warmth: "No need to hold back."
"Crack—"
The bodyguard knew that Su Hengyi's ruthlessness was such that he could break Gu Yuanyuan's fingers.
But the bodyguard couldn't bear it in the end, so he just dislocated Gu Yuanyuan's two wrists, and Gu Yuanyuan no longer had the strength to hug Su Hengyi.
He watched helplessly as the man left him without a trace of regret.
Gu Yuanyuan's lips were deathly pale, and her face was as white as paper, making her look quite frightening.
Whether it was the pain in his wrist or the injury itself, his eyes were bloodshot, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he stared intently at the spot where Su Hengyi had left. He remained motionless, as if he was trying his best to suppress some kind of pain, but he didn't care, didn't speak, didn't cry, and didn't even make a sound.
Finally, Gu Yuanyuan spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground and fainted.
He remained unconscious for several days and refused to wake up.
Shi Nianzhi traveled a long way by private jet, but didn't dare tell Gu Yuanyuan's parents.
Shi Nianzhi sat by Gu Yuanyuan's hospital bed. He held Gu Yuanyuan's hand and was stunned. Gu Yuanyuan's hands, which had never been used to do housework, were more delicate than a woman's.
His body was covered with scars of varying sizes and depths, which were not noticeable under normal circumstances but were particularly visible under the light. Not to mention the wrist cut on his wrist.
Every time Shi Nianzhi called Gu Yuanyuan, Gu Yuanyuan would laugh and say that she and Su Hengyi had a very good relationship, even seeming a little heartless, as he never came home for holidays.
In the words of Gu Yuanyuan's parents, she has forgotten her parents after getting a husband; she is a typical ingrate.
But what kind of life did Gu Yuanyuan actually lead?
Gu Yuanyuan has a strong personality and never tells the truth, so Su Hengyi is even less likely to talk about these things.
Now Gu Yuanyuan is lying in a hospital bed, refusing to wake up even though there is no cause for her illness.
Shi Nianzhi asked the bodyguard standing guard nearby, his anger rising, "Where is Su Hengyi?!"
The bodyguard was silent for a moment before saying, "Young Master Su is also recovering from his injuries."
"He hasn't come to see Gu Yuanyuan even once, has he?"
"Well... they're already divorced."
"Just because you're divorced doesn't mean you don't need to care anymore! If Gu Yuanyuan dies here today, will your Su family just use 'we're divorced' to sever all ties with the Gu family? Is that it?!"
Shi Nianzhi was so angry that he smashed the glass on the table. He cursed and pushed the bodyguard aside, shouting, "Where is Su Hengyi? I need to see him!"
The bodyguard wiped the sweat from his brow and refused to answer.
Shi Nianzhi laughed, "Fine, I'll personally go to your old master Su and wait for Su Hengyi."
How could this matter be brought to the attention of Old Master Su? The bodyguard quickly said, "Our Young Master Su is upstairs."
"They're upstairs and they don't even come down to check!"
"He's not that he doesn't want to come down, he's injured, his leg is injured and he can't get down."
"If it were Mu Guangcheng lying in this hospital bed, I bet he would have crawled here! Get out of my way."
Shi Nianzhi pushed the bodyguard aside and walked upstairs.
"Bang----"
The door to Su Heng's hospital room was pushed open forcefully. He was wearing a hospital gown and leaning against the bed, holding a meeting on his computer. Several of his assistants and bodyguards stood beside the bed.
Shi Nianzhi walked inside.
Su Heng said a few words into the Bluetooth headset and then paused the meeting. He gestured for his assistant, who was holding the laptop, to close it and take it in his hand.
“Su Hengyi, I’m breaking off all ties with you. I told you to go find Mu Guangcheng, but I didn’t tell you to treat Gu Yuanyuan like this. Do you even respect the Gu family? You married into this family all by yourself, and this is how you’re supposed to suffer?”
Su Heng looked up at Shi Nianzhi and said, "You're here to question me? You should have known this day would come when you told me about Mu Guangcheng."
Shi Nianzhi raised her hand and slapped herself. "I fucking had a stupid mouth. I wanted you all to have a good ending, to let Gu Yuanyuan get out of this love triangle and face life and love again. But when I saw him lying in the hospital bed covered in bruises today, I really regretted it."
"Isn't Mu Guangcheng good to you?"
“But Gu Yuanyuan is my family! When he was little, he followed me around, calling me ‘Little Uncle’ in his baby voice. Everyone in the family doted on him and gave him whatever he wanted. Why should he suffer like this here, something he’s never experienced before?! Who isn’t someone who’s been pampered and loved by their parents?”
Su Hengyi said, "Mu Guangcheng is different. He needs a family more than Gu Yuanyuan. When he encounters problems, no one stands behind him. Gu Yuanyuan has you all besides me, but Mu Guangcheng has no one besides me. Even you have never stood behind him to say a word for him or asked him if he has been wronged all these years."
Shi Nianzhi felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and a dense, throbbing pain spread through his heart.
Su Hengyi added, "But I know he's wronged. I've said it before, all I want is Mu Guangcheng, and no one can stop me."
Shi Nianzhi clenched his fist, and after a long while he turned around, "I will not forgive you until Gu Yuanyuan forgives you. As for the boss, please tell him I'm sorry and thank him for taking care of me."
After Shi Nianzhi left the ward, Su Hengyi leaned against the hospital bed and pressed his temples as if he was extremely tired.
But Gu Yuanyuan didn't wake up day after day, and her condition was deteriorating.
Shi Nianzhi went to find Su Hengyi and said, "Go and see Gu Yuanyuan, he's dying."
“I can’t give him hope anymore. I won’t give in every time he’s about to die.”
"But he's really going to die."
"Then let me know when he dies, and I will attend his funeral."
Shi Nianzhi was about to hit Su Hengyi, but Lu Jiunian stopped him. "That's how feelings are. It's so cruel not to love. Let's go. If Gu Yuanyuan can't make it through, that's his choice."
Shi Nianzhi was so confused that she had no way to deal with it.
They couldn't hide it from their family any longer. Li Yuan and Gu Dongxuan arrived with Gu Fangfang. Gu Fangfang lay on Gu Yuanyuan's hospital bed, patting his brother's face with his chubby little hands, "Brother, brother!"
The little baby voice called out.
Shi Nianzhi suddenly burst into tears, remembering many years ago.
Gu Yuanyuan called out in her childish voice, "Uncle, Uncle."
Shi Nianzhi asked Lu Jiunian to find Mu Guangcheng, and Mu Guangcheng came overnight by private plane. The first thing Mu Guangcheng did upon arriving was to look at Gu Yuanyuan.
Then he said to Su Hengyi, "You don't need to do this. After all, you were married. Go and wake him up. His life is nothing more than a few lies you told."
Su Hengyi insisted, "One lie requires countless lies to cover it up. The person I love isn't him, so I won't lie. I'm just not naturally inclined to."
Mu Guangcheng went up and punched Su Hengyi on the head, yelling, "Can't you use your blockhead?!"
He grabbed Su Hengyi, dragging him forcefully, "Even if I have to find someone, I'll tie you up and bring you into this ward. I may hate Gu Yuanyuan, but I don't want him to die. Gu Yuanyuan doesn't deserve to die, do you even understand that?"
Shi Nianzhi stood before Su Hengyi, his voice earnest and humble, "Brother Yi, I'm begging you, please wake Gu Yuanyuan up. I'll take him back to the Gu family, and they'll take care of him from now on. If they can't control him, they'll hypnotize him. Please go see him, I'm begging you, Gu Yuanyuan can't die. He's still young, he's just walked into a dead end and is getting hurt but can't get out. I'm begging you, okay? Do you want me to kneel down for you? I, as his uncle, feel this way, have you thought about how Gu Yuanyuan's parents feel? Even if we're just morally blackmailing you this once."
Mu Guangcheng was furious. "Why are you wasting your breath talking to him? Get someone to tie him up and take him in. Su Hengyi, if Gu Yuanyuan really dies today, we're both finished, I'm telling you!"
Zhou He appeared out of nowhere, holding a gun and pointing it at Su Hengyi, amidst the panic of the crowd.
Zhou He, a normally gentle man, was now filled with ferocity and murderous intent. "Don't move!"
He pointed at Su Hengyi, "My brother Yuan died today, so you go and join him. He loves you so much, he'd definitely want to take you with him even in death! Don't the hell move!"
Zhou He gritted his teeth and fired a shot at the ceiling, shattering the lampshade and leaving glass fragments scattered on the floor.
Su Heng instinctively protected Mu Guangcheng, just as Lu Jiunian protected Shi Nianzhi.
