Chapter 1138: Divorce? (4)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qiwu was no fool. When Doris had a miscarriage, he had already ordered Ah Yong to get this settled.
With his intelligence, he already had a backup move. Perhaps it was in the midst of their fighting with each other that he was used to having a backup plan. As he thought about this, he was not sure whether he should be grateful for his keen vigilance or be sad about this unpredictable relationship.
Nonetheless, Gu Qiwu could not careless now. Because of a woman like Doris, he only felt sad and ludicrous for his situation.
“There are no results for now. I’ve done as you ordered with a few hospitals doing the comparisons, Boss. If it can be used as evidence, it’ll definitely be more powerful. Boss, I didn’t know why you wanted to do that before this, but now I know that you were doing it as a backup, it was great foresight!”
Ah Yong could not help but admire Gu Qiwu for ordering him to do that so calmly. If it had been another man, he would probably have been driven mad by Doris.
He was clear that Gu Qiwu did have some feelings for Doris. However, he did not understand why Doris would do such a thing behind Gu Qiwu’s back. Now, as a subordinate, even he found it unworthy for Gu Qiwu’s sake. At the same time, he felt bad for Mu Zi and Mu Lingtian, who had pa.s.sed away, and Mu Lingshi as well.
Gu Qiwu laughed grimly and his eyes suddenly darkened as he inhaled sharply. “This won’t pa.s.s so soon. Ah Yong, find a way to investigate Doris and find out who the man is. Even if we go to court, Doris won’t be able to shed all the responsibility!
“This time, Mu Yuchen’s move was truly vicious, but he managed to find out Doris’s secret. I don’t know whether to thank him or to resent him.”
A bitterness flashed across Gu Qiwu’s face. His mind suddenly recalled Mu Lingshi’s indifferent expression, and he felt a heaviness in his chest that made it hard to breathe. He took in a few laborious breaths before he calmed down.
“Boss, are you sure that Mu Yuchen did this?” Ah Yong asked.
“Who else could have such capabilities? Even I don’t know about Doris cheating on me, but he seemed to know it like the back of his hand. In fact, a while back, when he asked me out, he did warn me. Elder Madam Mu’s pa.s.sing might have moved him to act. He was warning me. I’m sure that right now he’s waiting for me to go to him.” Gu Qiwu suddenly laughed bitterly and helplessly.
“Boss, what should we do now? Mu Yuchen did it on purpose. Not only did he expose these, but he even made you and Madam break up like this. Also, I’m afraid that Miss Lingshi…Boss, are you planning never to acknowledge Miss Lingshi?” Ah Yong could not help but ask.
He knew that Gu Qiwu had not let go of Mu Lingshi and the rest. Whether it was out of guilt or his conscience, the boss still had them on his mind. Otherwise, he would not have visited Mu Zi every year.
The Ghost Festival [1] was around the corner. Was the boss still going to Qingshan Cemetery to pay his respects?
However, they were gone, so what was the meaning of doing all this?
Furthermore, Elder Madam Mu had just pa.s.sed away too.
When Ah Yong asked that question, Gu Qiwu did not immediately have an answer. His expression only froze and his eyes darkened.
Even if he wanted to acknowledge her, he probably…
In the end, Gu Qiwu did not answer the question. He sighed and turned to look at Ah Yong. “Quickly get the thing done. Also, ask Mu Yuchen out. In three days, I want to meet him for a chat!”
“Boss, you want to meet Chairman Mu? What about Miss Lingshi?”
Gu Qiwu slowly shut his eyes and breathed in. “It’s best not to meet her for now since it won’t be a happy meeting.”
“Yes, I got it, Boss!’
…
In the evening, the glow of the sunset colored half the sky red.
In Maple Residence in the Grand Waves Villa area, when he received Li Si’s call, Mu Yuchen was in the kitchen preparing dinner.
“Master, Gu Qiwu’s awake. He asked to meet you in three days in the pastures of the western suburbs. He says he’s got something to talk to you about.” Li Si’s respectful voice was heard through the phone.
Mu Yuchen paused what he was doing for a while as his profound eyes flashed with shifting light. After he hesitated momentarily, he responded, “I don’t want to meet him.”
“Master, I think it might be about Miss Lingshi. Do we want to…?”
“Just respond that way.” Mu Yuchen clearly did not want to say more, so he then hung up right away before he continued busying himself again.
He had just put in the marinated fish to cook when he suddenly felt something tugging at his pant leg. Mu Yuchen was surprised as he looked down and saw his son crawling to sit by his leg. The little guy was pulling at his pant leg as he mumbled and smiled at him. His hands balled into little fists that were put into his mouth.
Mu Yuchen’s heart instantly melted at his cute demeanor. He kept his phone away and bent down to pick his son up. “Little guy, are you crawling around again? How naughty of you! Mmm?” he said as he pinched the little guy’s cheeks.
Nevertheless, Mu Xiaocheng’s hands flailed and smacked his old man’s handsome face. When he heard the loud sound, he even began giggling.
“Little fool, why’s your laughter so silly? Tell me, what are you laughing about? Hmm?”
Mu Xiaocheng’s movements were swifter now, especially since he had been growing and was less restless recently. Ever since he could clutch onto things to stand, he no longer liked being carried, so he would struggle and then crawl everywhere.
Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye would usually find him under the shelf in the study room or behind the living room sofa, and even in all the corners of the house. Of course, they would not limit his movements.
Consequently, Mu Yuchen covered the floor with an expensive layer of slip-resistant carpet. That way, it could keep the little guy from getting cold and make it convenient for him to move around. They just let him play himself, but Sis w.a.n.g’s cleaning became a bit harder because the restless little one would always topple many things. He sure was destructive!
