1479 A Divorce It Shall Be, No c.r.a.p
Lu Beichen froze right away.
On one side, Fu Chenxi also froze.
Gu Jingyan smiled coldly. “I’m sorry to disturb you guys. I’m just back to get something.”
Lu Beichen walked over immediately.
“Jingyan, what are you doing?”
Gu Jingyan pushed Lu Beichen away. “Let me go.”
“You… don’t tell me you’ve mistaken. I was only drunk.”
“Yeah, drunk. What should have happened has already happened, right? It’s so familiar. Oh, it happened to us back then, too.” Gu Jingyan smiled faintly.
Over the other side, Fu Chenxi quickly said, “Don’t misunderstand, Jingyan. We did nothing. Really…”
Gu Jingyan looked at Fu Chenxi. Without a word, she walked into her room.
This room was also Lu Beichen’s.
As husband and wife, it was natural for them to share a room.
She looked back and smiled sweetly. “How was it, Chenxi? My room’s not bad, eh?”
Fu Chenxi turned red in the face.
Lu Beichen went mad.
“Gu Jingyan, what are you doing? I’ve said it. I have no reason to lie to you. Don’t you know me? I… I can’t get hard when I’m drunk. How can I do anything?”
Yes, didn’t she know him? They had been together for so many years, and they probably know more about one another than about themselves.
This statement was not something that Fu Chenxi wanted to hear.
Gu Jingyan turned her head. “Chenxi, can you leave first?”
“I won’t. Jingyan, listen to me…”
Gu Jingyan interrupted her, “This is still my place. Can you wait to stand here again and talk to Lu Beichen?”
Fu Chenxi was stunned.
Gu Jingyan continued, “At least wait for us to sign the divorce papers. Just wait before you could enter the room as a dignified person. Is that alright?”
“I… I…”
Fu Chenxi ran out, red in the face.
Lu Beichen had no intentions of going after her.
He only looked at Gu Jingyan. “Believe me, I…”
Gu Jingyan immediately said, “Sign it.”
“You…”
Gu Jingyan looked at him. “Lu Beichen, why not look at the account of us being husband and wife and knowing each other for so many years? Just think, can you bear to do it? Can you bear to see me get hurt because of you? Can’t you let me go? I want a divorce. I only want a divorce. Please sign it, alright?”
He was shocked…
Looking at Gu Jingyan’s expression, Lu Beichen felt like his heart got stabbed. It was so painful.
“Gu Jingyan…”
Lu Beichen closed his eyes and suddenly felt that he owed her. If he owed her, he should repay her.
“Alright. If I sign it and it can make you happy and never sad again, I’ll sign it.”
He took the pen.
This time, without giving himself the chance for hesitation and consideration, he immediately signed his name.
Seeing his name made Gu Jingyan feel some weight off her shoulders.
She looked at him with a smile. Her curved lips were glamorous as could be.
“Thanks.”
She took the agreement and walked out without looking back.
Lu Beichen felt like he had lost all his energy and sat on the floor.
A splitting headache.
Gu Jingyan went out.
The secretary watched her holding onto the carefully crafted agreement and could not help but feel a heavy heart.
“President Gu, you should know. They…”
Gu Jingyan nodded. “Yes, really, nothing happened. I know. But if I don’t take this chance to get him to sign, then when would I ever get the chance again?”
“…”
The secretary looked at her and thought about how President Gu was so smart, and yet President Lu did not love her. On the contrary, he loved a woman who had nothing to her name. What did he have for brains in his head?
The secretary viciously said, “President Gu, you’ll be very popular after the divorce. The number of men waiting to go after you can form a queue to the City G.o.d Temple.”
Gu Jingyan smiled and tapped onto her head. “Don’t tease me. Let’s go.”
“To where?”
“Since I’m already divorced, it’s to have fun, of course.”
Gu Jingyan was very relaxed.
But on the other hand, Lu Beichen…
In the bar at night.
Lu Beichen drank until his head was in a whirl.
On one side, Boss Xu asked, “Are you for real? You’re divorced?”
“Hm.”
“Are you lying to me? You’re seriously divorced?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, Lu Beichen. I really can’t help you this time. I’m on Jingyan’s side.” Boss Xu stood up right away. He chided Lu Beichen, “What’s so bad about her that you dislike that much? Look at how you’ve treated her over these years.”
Lu Beichen looked up. “I did nothing. I didn’t even touch any of Fu Chenxi’s fingers.”
“It’s not about this time!” Boss Xu said, “I’m talking about the past. You helped Chenxi, secretly gave her money to use, bought her a house, and even helped her to find a job. All these, all these, are more despicable than getting drunk this time. Do you know how you’re pulling Jingyan apart by treating her like this? And she can’t even say anything to you. Do you know what the outsiders are saying? They say that you’re keeping a lover.”
Lu Beichen lowered his head. “I… I only felt that I couldn’t let Chenxi starve to death in front of me.”
“Then as a consequence, you let outsiders mock Jingyan, saying how she’s going to become an abandoned wife of a wealthy family? You made her feel heartbroken, and you didn’t notice at all? You only care about Fu Chenxi, so what about Jingyan? Who is going to take care of her? Do you take her for a guy just because she doesn’t mention it? That she has more to her name, and she’s strong and independent? She’s not your good friend, she’s your wife.”
She’s not your good friend, she’s your wife…
This one sentence shattered Lu Beichen’s heart.
Lu Beichen got up and said to Boss Xu, “Get lost. You’re on her side… I want to see her as a wife, but the only thing she has in mind is a divorce! She only thinks about fighting with me.”
“Jerk. She’s letting you have it easy with a divorce,” Boss Xu replied and threw a punch over.
“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t get physical!” Little Q quickly stood up.
However, Lu Beichen had already been hit. Slouched on the ground, his mouth started bleeding.
Lu Beichen gritted his teeth and stayed on the floor for a while before standing up.
“Hey, Beichen. Don’t go, don’t be angry. We’ve been friends for so many years.” Little Q was exasperated. He was thinking of what else to say when Lu Beichen said, “I’m going to look for Gu Jingyan.”
Little Q said, “Huh?”
Boss Xu held Little Q back. “Let him go. Ha, Jingyan wouldn’t bother about him. It’s Jingyan we’re talking about. She has so many suitors and none weaker than Lu Beichen. He thinks he’s a rare gem.”
He said this on purpose for Lu Beichen to hear, but Lu Beichen did not bother about him and immediately ran out.
Where was Gu Jingyan?
Gu Jingyan was still at the company. However, she had already applied for leave and was prepared to leave the place for some fun.
Gu Jingyan and Lu Beichen were workaholics. No matter where they were, they would always prioritize work.
They had never really taken a rest in all these years.
At that moment, Gu Jingyan felt tired and immediately packed her things to leave.
On the outside…
“President Gu, President Gu, President Lu is here. He’s on his way over. I’m going mad watching. Let me know how you want to handle this…”
