Li Yun's eyes widened, her mouth agape, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Damn! Has Gu Yanqing gone mad? Jiang Yi's face is practically screaming 'green tea bitch,' is he blind? Changing the bride at the wedding, isn't he afraid of being ridiculed by all the guests and getting himself trending on social media? If you want to die, you don't have to do something so risky."
Li Yunwei was filled with righteous indignation, and her loud voice startled the surrounding guests.
"No way, I'm going to call him and give him a piece of my mind!"
She has a fiery temper and is even more formidable than me. As she spoke, she picked up her phone and called Gu Yanqing.
I was exhausted, so I quietly drank my tea and didn't stop her.
"Gu Yanqing, have you been bewitched by Jiang Yi? What does her terminal illness have to do with you? Jiang Wan has been with you for six years. Have you forgotten how much she sacrificed to cure your illness? If it weren't for her being your blood transfusion machine, you'd be two meters old by now! You ungrateful bastard!"
"And another thing, when did you get together with Jiang Yi? You two didn't actually sleep together, did you? I've seen scumbags, but I've never seen one as outrageously scumbag as you! You're supposed to be a respectable person, aren't you afraid of being... at the wedding..."
Li Yunwei unleashed a torrent of abuse for five or six minutes straight, until a waiter came over to remind her to lower her voice.
Not wanting to embarrass myself, I got up, snatched her phone, and hung up.
"Why did you hang up? I haven't finished cursing yet! I don't just want to curse Gu Yanqing, I want to curse that green tea bitch even more! Just because she has a terminal illness doesn't mean she's so great! Does that give her the right to steal her own brother-in-law?"
Li Yunwei was so angry that she lost control.
I quickly poured her a cup of tea and reassured her, "Never mind, don't disturb her meal."
Li Yunwei glanced at the strange looks around her before suppressing her temper.
"What is Gu Yanqing really thinking? Does he love Jiang Yi?" Li Yunwei asked, puzzled and troubled.
I shook my head. "I don't know, but he definitely doesn't love me."
Otherwise, how could they do such an absurd, bizarre, and shameless thing?
"Jiang Yi is a psychopath. Over the years, she has always tried to compete with you for everything. Can't Gu Yanqing see that?"
I smiled wryly. "He always thought I was overthinking things and that he had too much prejudice against Jiang Yi."
Li Yunwei was so angry that she drank several cups of tea in succession, and then suddenly asked, "Does he know that Jiang Yi and Jiang Hao are your half-siblings?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I haven't told him. He may know, or he may not."
After all, it's a family scandal; who would bring that up for no reason?
Even with the person you love most, you shouldn't show them all your flaws.
Otherwise, when the day comes that the love fades, these scandals will become public knowledge and will even become weapons used by the other person to hurt you.
"I don't know?" Li Yunwei smiled meaningfully. "Hmph, I'm quite looking forward to the day when Gu Yanqing realizes Jiang Yi's true colors. He'll definitely regret it so much that he'll kneel down and cry."
I smiled but said nothing.
Whether he regrets it or not is none of my business.
After dinner, Li Yunwei comforted me, "At least you got compensation from the company. Just let go of this trashy man and focus on your career from now on."
My best friend's words reminded me that there are still some procedures to be completed for the company's change of legal representative.
"Yes, you're right. I shouldn't be heartbroken over a man. Don't worry, I'm fine. It's lucky that I recognized him as a scumbag early on."
After saying goodbye to Li Yunwei, I made an appointment with Gu Yanqing in the afternoon to handle the legal representative change procedures.
He readily agreed.
When I saw him, there was a five-finger mark on half of his face, which added a touch of comicality to his handsome appearance.
"Hurry up, let's finish here and then go get the divorce certificate." Seeing his unhurried pace, I urged him in a low voice.
We've only been married for a month. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have gone to queue up so early on May 20th.
Gu Yanqing looked at me with melancholy eyes, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
After leaving the Industry and Commerce Bureau, we went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
To my surprise, when I arrived, I learned that I needed to make an appointment before submitting the necessary documents to get a divorce.
Then wait for a 30-day cooling-off period. If both parties still insist on divorce after the period, then go and get a divorce certificate.
Frustrated and annoyed, I took out my phone to make an appointment on the spot, but could only get an appointment for an afternoon two weeks later.
In other words, when Gu Yanqing and Jiang Yi held their wedding, I was still Gu Yanqing's wife in the legal sense.
What the hell is going on?!
Seeing that I was extremely irritable, Gu Yanqing lowered his voice and said gently, "This matter is not urgent, and Jiang Yi has not been urging me."
I suddenly looked up at him, startling him.
I stared at him angrily for a while, then suddenly smiled and asked, "Didn't she urge you? Isn't she afraid she won't live to see that day?"
"..." Gu Yanqing's face froze.
After all, divorce is such a hassle. If I don't cooperate, it won't be possible to get a divorce for a year or two.
Even if Jiang Yi becomes a bride, legally speaking, she is not a wife; at most, she is a mistress.
Gu Yanqing did not answer the question. Instead, she took a step forward and said gently, "Then let's not get divorced, so we don't have to come back to remarry later."
I stared at him, utterly astonished, unable to comprehend his words.
Even now, he still confidently believes that after Jiang Yi dies, I will get back together with him.
