Gu Lingsha started to frown as she did not agree with Doris.
“Enough! I don’t need you to tell me what to do! Stay out of things between him and me. Just take care of yourself!” Doris’s expression instantly darkened and she closed her eyes.
“He was disloyal to me first. Why should I have to stay loyal to him? Guilt? Do you think he’d feel that? Even if he does feel guilty, it’s only towards Mu Zi and Mu Lingshi, not us!”
“Shasha, you’re too naive! Don’t tell me that this is all you learned from studying psychology!”
Seeing Doris like this, Gu Lingsha could not help but raise her voice. Now, she began to feel bad for Gu Qiwu. “Mother! Why are you still acting all justified even now?! Father’s going mad from anger. He’s breaking down! Can’t you feel sorry for him? You know very well how he’s treated you all these years!”
“Lingsha, are you here to reprimand me? Why don’t you do the same to your father? He did me wrong first!” Doris pulled away the blanket on her and stood up. She glared at Gu Lingsha in an imposing manner. “Isn’t the child gone just as the two of you wished? What more do you want? The two of you are quite united, aren’t you? What about me? Do I deserve it so I should just suffer in silence?”
She laughed grimly. “Divorce! I already thought of this. Since we’ve come to this point, it can only end like this.”
“What? Divorce?” Gu Lingsha was shocked by Doris’s words! She widened her eyes at her mother. “Mother! Do you want to divorce Father?”
“What other ways do you think there could be for this to end peacefully? I’ve been done for years now. I think that ending it like this is best,” Doris said nonchalantly. There was no shift in her blues at all, and they were as calm as water. It was as if the word ‘divorce’ was just another common term!
Frightened by Doris’s words, she held onto her mother and spoke in a panic, “No! Mother, don’t be impulsive! As long as you talk to Father, he’ll still forgive you! Mother, don’t get a divorce with Father. You know that…”
Doris wriggled free of her hold as she snorted coldly. “There’s nothing else to discuss at this stage. Do you think that with your father’s nature, he would tolerate me? He’s just a useless coward to me. He’s got a huge ego and is headstrong. Even if he’s willing to forgive me, he’ll definitely keep bringing it up to use against me. I know him too well. I’ll never surrender to a man like this, so divorce is my best option!”
Her eyes were filled with determination. She was not sloppy at all, and there was not a hint of hesitance or reluctance!
“Mother, there’s no way Father will get a divorce with you unless you leave the marriage with nothing!”
“No way? I’ll make it all possible!”
“Mother! How could you do this to him?”
“How do you think I should be to him then? Divorce is the only way to resolve this. It’s also been something that I’ve always wanted to do. Your father and I aren’t compatible. I’ve long been over it these past few years. Why do you think I’ve lasted so long?” Doris looked at Gu Lingsha coldly, not hiding her intentions at all.
“I’ll get my lawyer to write up the divorce papers as soon as possible. When the time comes, just persuade your father. It’s best if he signs it quickly. Of course, I’ll still be taking the things that should be mine. By the looks of the current situation, the court might not stand on his side. After all, Mu Lingshi was hard evidence.”
A sneer flashed across Doris’s lips. Even though this was not exactly what she wanted, they had been married for many years, and she did have some feelings for Gu Qiwu. Nevertheless, Doris had always known what she wanted.
The truth was that Doris had always been like this. She had always been this headstrong and unwilling to surrender to anyone. Having been raised in an environment like that, she always did everything with a clear goal in mind.
Since things had played out the way they did, she could only continue this journey.
In fact, based on the current situation, even if they brought it to the court, she would not be on the losing end. Gu Qiwu would probably need to silently accept this end that cut the knot as smoothly as it was tied.
“Enough, get out!” Doris coldly chased her out. She admitted that she was still a little angry at Gu Lingsha for causing the miscarriage, but that was her daughter after all. Even if she was angry, what could she do?
“Mother…”
“Get out!” Doris said walked to the bedside without any illness showing on her face.
Gu Lingsha’s eyes darkened as she watched Doris quietly for a while. In the end, she left. When it came to being apathetic, no one would be better at it than her mother. Gu Lingsha only truly understood it now!
How could she so calmly mention divorce? It seemed like Doris did not have much love left for Gu Qiwu!
When she left the ward, Gu Lingsha could not help but laugh bitterly. She never thought that such a day would come. A family that she had always thought was harmonious had turned into nothing in the blink of an eye. Still, all of this could also have returned to calm!
However, the more you wanted peace, the more some people would wreck it!
How could she just watch helplessly as all this happiness turn into nothing? She barely had anything left. Was she going to lose this too?
Gu Lingsha did not understand why things had to turn out like this.
This time, upon returning, a friend that had once been close, Qi Lei, was slowly becoming distant. Her relationship with her mother was becoming strained too. Besides that, she was now losing even the last piece of kinship…
Mu Zi?
Mu Lingshi?
If all of these had happened because of these people, what should she do?
Was she going to watch all of this end badly without doing anything?
The answer was: no way!
Gu Lingsha leaned against the cold wall. She fell silent for a long, long time before she came back to her senses. Dazed, she suddenly felt her eyes getting misty until a piece of tissue was handed to her before she snapped back.
She quickly looked up and followed the hand that handed her the tissue. Xi Xinyi’s beautiful little face instantly greeted her sight.
“For you, Manager Gu. The reporters might appear at any time!” Xi Xinyi said softly.
