"Okay, sure." As I was about to hang up, I suddenly remembered, "How about we have lunch together tomorrow?"
"Can."
I was overjoyed, but forced myself to remain calm. "See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, I laughed to myself for a long time.
My phone rang shortly after. I picked it up and saw it was a bank card message from Su Shenglin.
I replied "okay" and immediately logged into the bank system to repay the money.
This jubilant feeling lasted until almost the end of the workday.
I was rushing to finish finishing the horse-face skirt and was planning to continue working overtime when my phone suddenly rang. I stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.
He took it and saw it was Gu Yanqing.
I hadn't heard from him for several days, and he called me today. I guess it's about the divorce.
"Hello."
Gu Yanqing's tone was deep, "Xiao Wan, are you off work yet?"
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" I felt there was no need for small talk between us. If we had to contact each other, we should just call and get down to business.
"I'd like to invite you to dinner so we can discuss the details of the divorce."
"Divorce details?" I sneered. "We have no property division, no child custody issues, so what details are there to discuss?"
Gu Yanqing said, "Why isn't there any property division? Don't you own a house and a company?"
My mind went blank.
"Gu Yanqing, what do you mean?" I asked coldly, gritting my teeth.
Does he know that my company is doing well and has a great reputation, and want to take a share of my company?
"Xiao Wan, all my requests are reasonable and legal. Why are you so agitated?" Gu Yanqing was very calm, as if I was the one with the problem.
I raised my hand to my forehead, took a slow, deep breath, and told myself to stay calm and not panic.
I quickly calmed down and asked, "So what are your demands? Do you want my company divided equally? If that's the case, can I also demand a share of your Gu family's assets?"
After all, according to the Marriage Law, all income he earned during the marriage is considered marital property, and I have the right to a share of it.
The business that the Gu family has run for generations is worth far more than my clothing brand.
If things really escalate to that point, it's not necessarily me who will suffer a loss.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Yanqing said in a very calm tone, "You are indeed entitled to make that request, which is why I said we need to sit down and discuss the details of the divorce."
"..." I suddenly realized that he probably didn't want to divide my company; he simply wanted to make the divorce more complicated.
To put it bluntly, they don't want to divorce and are just dragging things out.
Seeing through his intentions, I suddenly calmed down a lot. "There's no need to talk anymore. If you don't agree to a divorce by mutual consent, then we'll continue with the lawsuit. I'll have my lawyer contact you, and you can discuss how to negotiate with my lawyer."
Leave professional matters to professionals.
When it comes to property division, divorce lawyers are definitely more experienced, so I'm too lazy to waste my energy on that.
After saying that, I hung up the phone and went back to work.
In order to get Su Shenglin to wear the suit I made for him at the school anniversary celebration, I had to finish Mu Xi's horse-face skirt as soon as possible. I didn't have time to think about those lousy people and messy things.
I worked overtime at the studio until 11 p.m. before dragging my tired body home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw a figure standing at my door.
Gu Yanqing.
"Xiao Wan..." Upon seeing me, Gu Yanqing straightened up, looking at me with deep affection and expectation.
I felt particularly disgusted, so I glanced at it indifferently, looked away, and walked to the door to open it.
"Xiao Wan..." He leaned closer and called my name again.
I caught a strong smell of alcohol, and my brow furrowed as I turned to look at him. "You've been drinking again?"
The reason I say "again" is because the last time he forced his way into my studio, he was also there after drinking.
Later, he got a bloody hole in his knee from being stabbed with scissors, and I also got a cut on my arm.
He's forgotten the pain once the wound healed, and actually came to find me again after drinking.
"Yeah, I'm in a bad mood, a little alcohol helps me numb it a bit." He nodded in acknowledgment, his tone melancholy.
I didn't feel sorry for you, I just casually reminded you: "You were just discharged from the hospital, you don't even know if you've fully recovered, if you're going to do something reckless, stay away from me."
As we were talking, I opened the door and prepared to go inside.
"Xiao Wan!" He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the door, and said excitedly, "Xiao Wan...you still care about me, don't you?"
He stared intently at me, his thin, handsome features appearing even more sorrowful and affectionate. "I don't believe that a relationship of more than six years can be forgotten so easily. You've only been temporarily bewitched by that man surnamed Su. Once you wake up, you'll definitely still love me!"
I turned to stare at him and mocked him rudely, "You want to compare yourself to Su Shenglin? How dare you?"
His face stiffened, clearly hurt. "You love him that much?"
"He is a hundred or a thousand times better than you in every way; every woman would love him."
I didn't answer directly, afraid that he would use this as leverage to accuse me of having an extramarital affair.
"Does he love you?" Gu Yanqing asked pointedly.
I cannot answer that question.
I don't know if Su Shenglin loves me.
Even if he loves me, I can't say it outright at this time.
Because I am not divorced yet, if I admit that Su Shenglin and I are in love, then Su Shenglin will be accused of destroying someone else's family.
His identity and family background were special; such a scandal could never have happened in a family with such a strong political background.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Gu Yanqing revealed a mocking smile, "He doesn't love you. With his conditions, how could he possibly fall in love with you? He's just playing around."
