The old dream of Gu Zhou.

Everyone said that I asked Gu Yunzhou to marry me out of gratitude, and that I didn't deserve happiness.

Sure enough, after ten years of marriage, he still doesn't love me.

Filled with resentment, I returned to the time when he was making a comeback. I dressed up just to say goodbye to him.

His eyes were red as he stared at the gift I gave him: "Gift? Is it another divorce agreement?"

1

On the day my mother-in-law passed away, she held her husband Gu Yunzhou's hand and said, "Yunzhou, you have sacrificed ten years of marriage for the Gu family. That's enough. Divorce her and go chase the person you want."

My heart suddenly sank and I held the door handle loosely, not daring to go in.

A thin rope was hung on Gu Yunzhou, waiting for his verdict.

The moment seemed to last a century. The man said in a hoarse voice, "Hmm."

The thin rope broke, and the axe fell at high speed, chopping the heart into a bloody mess.

Oh, ten years can’t warm a heart.

If only I could do it again.

After a dizzy spell, I suddenly appeared on the construction site. A large screen not far away showed a piece of news: Gu's reached a 10 billion yuan cooperation with foreign capital on lithium batteries.

Am I going back to seven years ago, when Gu Yunzhou was making a comeback?

I excitedly turned on my phone, and the time displayed was indeed seven years ago.

In my previous life, I saw the news and rushed to Gu’s celebration party despite being exhausted. Many people laughed at me for being “unpresentable”.

This time, I will dress up and give Gu Yunzhou a big gift.

After a while of explaining some precautions to the foreman, a Bentley drove up to me.

Secretary Liu got out of the car: "Madam, Mr. Gu asked us to pick you up to attend the celebration banquet."

It's quite respectful, but unfortunately, it's all responsibility.

I got in the car and asked the driver to drive to the studio I often go to.

Secretary Liu was dissatisfied: "How can you let Mr. Gu wait?"

I smiled and said, "I'm his wife, why can't I let him wait?"

Secretary Liu choked, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

It happens again.

In fact, people around Gu Yunzhou don't think highly of me. They think I'm a mean person who is seeking to repay a favor.

See, we really can’t take jokes so casually.

Helping others will only lead to hatred.

I specially asked a personal makeup artist to do my makeup so that I can look beautiful tonight.

During this period, I asked a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement for me.

Although it’s a pity that I can’t wear it back before marrying Gu Yunzhou, it’s also good this way. At least I can get a lot of property!

"How long will it take?"

"About three or four hours!"

"Three or four hours?" Secretary Liu was not calm, "The celebration banquet will start at six o'clock. If you are late..."

"So what if I'm late? I'm just the president's wife. Does it make a difference whether I'm early or late?"

Secretary Liu seemed unable to make a decision and went out to make a phone call.

After coming back, her tone was much more respectful. She said the celebration party was postponed and asked me to take my time to do the styling. Wait, someone will send me some jewelry.

After a while, the jewelry arrived.

It's a diamond necklace.

The stylist was knowledgeable and immediately said that this was an auction item from a European royal family and was worth eight figures.

Look at my ex-husband, how good he is at pretending to be good.

Things that have been scheduled can be postponed for me, and eight-figure jewelry can be given to me at will.

How could I not be confused when I was in the middle of it?

After getting dressed, I took the divorce agreement at the door and ran to the celebration party.

The timing was just right.

Someone was waiting for me at the door. He opened the car door for me before Secretary Liu. Looking at the big hand on the roof of the car, I laughed. What a good actor.

I walked in wearing eight-centimeter high heels, holding Gu Yunzhou's hand.

Countless flashes of light came on.

"Wow, Mrs. Gu is so beautiful! They are such a perfect match."

"A good match? You don't know the inside story, do you? Madam Gu used some trickery to marry into the Gu family."

"That's right. Now that Gu Yunzhou has made a comeback, he will dump her sooner or later..."

I find it funny that they will soon be able to see what they want to see.

Banquet hall.

After Gu Yunzhou settled me down, he went on stage to speak.

He was no different tonight than usual, but he was gleaming all over. Every move he made was full of nobleness that was unattainable.

After Gu Yunzhou spoke, many people presented him with gifts.

I didn't follow the trend and gave him the gift I had prepared - a divorce agreement wrapped in a gift box.

Gu Yunzhou looked at me steadily, and that look was very deep, as if containing some emotion that I didn’t understand.

I wanted to look again, but he had already looked away.

Yes, he and I have nothing to talk about.

Gu Yunzhou casually opened the gifts from his childhood friends. Most of the gifts were quite ordinary.

Some people were curious about what I gave them. Could it be that Gu Yunzhou didn't like me and didn't open it on the spot?

I felt unhappy and walked towards him with a glass of champagne.

"Hey, Gu Yunzhou, why don't you open my gift? Aren't you curious about what I gave you?"

Gu Yunzhou chuckled with an ambiguous tone, and looked at me with a look that seemed to carry a heavy burden.

My heart tightened, and heat spread around my ears: "Oh, what kind of gift could it be? Isn't it just... a divorce agreement?"

My pupils shrank slightly, and looking through his brown eyes, I recalled our past.

Unlike the Gu family, our Lan family is a nouveau riche. We started out as a breeder, then encountered opportunities and took over several mines. Later, we did the right business and rose straight up.

My dad bought a villa in Shanghai and put me into an aristocratic school. He was very proud of me, but many people in the school looked down on me.

I have always been a loner.

If I didn't have a strong character, I would have been bullied to pieces.

I kicked stones all the way home and saw Gu Yunzhou fighting with someone in the alley. He was wearing the old, ripped clothes that were just becoming popular at the time.

I was a country bumpkin and didn't understand anything. I thought he was bullied because he was poor. I stepped forward and saved him.

"You got into our school because of your good grades, right?"

Gu Yunzhou hesitated and hummed.

I agreed and let him follow me. From then on, I provided all his study supplies, food, drinks and entertainment.

He smiled brightly at that time, and I puffed out my chest with pride. I had done a good deed again today!

I was immersed in my heroic dream until I saw Gu Yunzhou opening the door next to mine...

Later, the Gu family was attacked. Their former partners refused to help, and some even took advantage of the situation to attack them.

Uncle Gu was so angry that he had a stroke.

I tried my best to help.

Gu Yunzhou asked me with red eyes what I wanted. In order to survive this disaster, he would pick it down for me, even if it was the moon in the sky.

I was very pleased and said, "Then you pledge yourself to me..."

Work like a slave for daddy!

I was unable to say the second half of the sentence because he agreed immediately. He also reminded me that I could persuade my family temporarily, but the shareholders were not on the same page and without a close relationship, they would not help sincerely.

I struggled for a long time, but finally helped out of my own selfish motives.

But in the end, everyone thought that I was dirty and unworthy of being the Crown Prince of the Gu family.

The memory is short, Gu Yunzhou's hand on my waist wakes me up.

He sneered: "It really is a divorce agreement! But, Miaomiao, our two families are too deeply involved, we can't divorce rashly."

That’s true.

In the three years since we got married, our two families have become a community of interests.

Divorce can easily cause turmoil.

"Then let's start cutting now!"

Gu Yunzhou had a cold face, but he gave me enough face at the banquet. He took me with him everywhere to show his respect.

I didn't refuse. In this life, I will always stick to the business world and I will not refuse anything that is beneficial to me.

Some people talk about how we have a good relationship.

Not bad?

It must be an illusion!

Gu Yunzhou has not signed the divorce agreement. I am not in a hurry, so I tactfully let my company slowly cut ties with him.

Someone below me told me that Secretary Liu asked me to go to Gu's.

I was confused, but I needed to discuss the business at hand with Gu Yunzhou, so I went over.

When they arrived at Gu Yunzhou's office, the door was half open, and Secretary Liu begged Gu Yunzhou to let her stay.

"Stay? Stay so you can humiliate my wife?"

"I, I don't dare..." Secretary Liu was dejected. She turned to me and begged me. Seeing that I was indifferent, she even knelt down in front of me and said, "Madam, please, give me a chance. I will definitely change my ways."

change?

I vaguely recalled the hardships I suffered at the hands of Secretary Liu during the years when Gu Yunzhou and I were married.

When we first got married, I had high hopes for Gu Yunzhou, so I left work early and cooked for him myself. At that time, he was very busy trying to make Gu's company a comeback, and he often attended meetings, so he gave his cell phone to Secretary Liu.

Secretary Liu almost always answered the phone. She had answered it so many times that she was slightly impatient: "Madam, please don't hold Mr. Gu back. This is very important to him..."

The enthusiasm was extinguished.

I didn't care about my mood, fearing that Gu Yunzhou would misunderstand me, and hurriedly explained: "No, I didn't want to delay him, I just wanted to nourish his body..."

Before I could finish my sentence, the call was disconnected, making me look like a joke.

At that time, I had just become my beloved's wife and thought that I had not done a good enough job. He was busy, so I personally sent him to Gu's.

All the soups were stopped at the secretariat.

What’s even more ridiculous is that Secretary Liu is very strict with me, the legal wife, but he lets Gu Yunzhou’s legendary “ex-fiancée” Xu Wan in several times.

In the face of my doubts, she gave a legitimate reason, Xu Wan had an appointment. It was all work-related, why was I so sensitive? Could it be that I was not upright, so my shadow was crooked?

I felt amused and angry at the same time. I need to make an appointment to have a real lady come to my house, right?

I made a scene, but she and others took me away.

Later, I wanted to complain to Gu Yunzhou, but he was so tired that he fell asleep on my shoulder while talking. His face was dark blue and his handsome face looked haggard.

Suddenly I couldn't bear it anymore.

He is already very tired, and I don't want to cause him any more trouble. As long as I can endure the most critical moment, I can always deal with Secretary Liu.

One moment of patience means four years.

In my previous life, my father had a stroke. I panicked and called Gu Yunzhou, wanting him to come and accompany me. At that time, he was discussing a cooperation, and gave the phone to Secretary Liu.

Secretary Liu pretended not to see it and didn't even remind Gu Yunzhou after the meeting.

I waited alone for five or six hours before the operation, and my nervousness turned into disappointment and panic.

Afterwards, Gu Yunzhou was furious and transferred Secretary Liu away.

That's all.

Now, before the incident broke out, she was fired early.

I laughed: "If I change, can the damage caused be repaired? I will not forgive you!"

Gu Yunzhou's body shook slightly. Was he scared?

How is that possible? I must have seen it wrong.

5

I devoted myself to my work and discussed several cooperations. During this time, I met people from Gu Yunzhou's side, and they changed their usual behavior and were very respectful to me.

I laughed and then started to cry.

Why are you crying?

I didn’t know…

I accelerated the cutting process between the two companies.

Gu Yunzhou became more and more panicked, and would come to pick me up from get off work from time to time, and would give me different flowers every day, most of which were my favorites.

My heart is floating in the sour water, unable to find its solid place.

When my mother-in-law heard that Secretary Liu had been kicked out, she made a desperate call and asked me to come over.

Oh……

In my previous life, my mother-in-law couldn't stand my family background and thought I was not worthy of her son, so she made things difficult for me.

I haven't even tried to settle the score with her yet, but she comes to me on her own initiative.

I gladly accepted the invitation.

"I heard that you were the one who drove Secretary Liu away? Secretary Liu has been with Yun Zhou for so many years. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard, right?"

"I warn you, call her back within a week, or I will let my son divorce you."

"Okay, leave..."

Gu Yunzhou rushed in: "Mom! I was the one who transferred Secretary Liu away. If you want to get angry, come to me."

The mother-in-law's face changed drastically: "Yunzhou, how can you talk to my mother like that? Don't you know who she is..."

"Clearly, very clearly. She is my wife, my love! You think her methods are dishonorable, but what about you? You keep saying that you come from a family of scholars, but you teach your son to be a Phoenix man, right?"

"Those so-called noble families avoided us and even tried to harm us. You still think they are better than her. How blind are you?"

I stared with eyes wide open, surprised and delighted. What a day it is for an old woman!

His eyes fell on Gu Yunzhou, and his mind wavered slightly.

My mother-in-law fainted.

"Don't pretend to be dizzy!"

After a long while, there was no movement. My mother-in-law really fainted.

Gu Yunzhou rushed her to the hospital, and before leaving, he looked at me deeply.

Haha, I’m afraid he is blaming me again.

In my previous life, I had many conflicts with my mother-in-law. At the beginning, Gu Yunzhou always sided with me. He could see clearly that it was my mother-in-law who was looking for trouble and didn't like me.

I also tried hard to ease our relationship, but unfortunately, she just didn't like me.

Later, as his mother-in-law's health deteriorated, his heart became crooked.

My distant uncle passed away and I rushed to attend the funeral.

But my mother-in-law didn't want me to have contact with my uncle's family because she thought they spoke with an accent and behaved in a vulgar way.

I insisted on going, and we had a conflict. When she saw Gu Yunzhou coming back, she got so excited that she fell to the ground.

Gu Yunzhou lost his mind and blurted out: "She is my mother! Miaomiao, I beg you to be sensible and give in to her!"

Mother and child are connected by heart, I am an outsider. The so-called change will not last long.

I put the divorce agreement on the coffee table, which should cure all her problems.

6

We got a few small orders and the mall was very proud of itself. I booked a private room and asked my men to have fun together.

They ran into some unlucky people head-on - Xu Wan and Gu Yunzhou's brothers.

They reluctantly called me sister-in-law.

Xu Wan even suggested to talk to me alone.

The good mood faded a little.

There were no outsiders in the small box, and Xu Wan still wore her mask. She smiled gently: "I heard that you and Yun Zhou have been having a quarrel recently. Is it because of me?"

I glanced at her. She was uncomfortable all over. She said under pressure, "Other people are just making wild guesses. Don't you know? There's nothing between Yun Zhou and me. It's all fake that they said I was the fiancée that the Gu family had chosen..."

Yes, very fake.

Before the Gu family went bankrupt, there were indeed rumors that they wanted to marry into the Xu family. Gu Yunzhou specifically explained this to me.

But the two families cooperated too frequently, and Xu Wan, as the representative of the Xu family, had frequent contact with Gu Yunzhou.

I complained a little, but they both said "I'm not generous enough" and "I'm just doing it for work." I even wondered if I was making a big deal out of nothing.

It wasn't until the first time she got pregnant in her previous life and went for the second prenatal checkup that the two companies happened to be negotiating a local order. Xu Wan downplayed it and said, "It shouldn't be a big deal to be absent once, right? Most pregnant women go for prenatal checkups alone to make a living..."

Gu Yunzhou also looked at me: "Miaomiao, I will definitely go with you next time."

I didn't think it was a big deal at the time. After all, he went for the first prenatal checkup. There will be many more in the future, so I definitely can't be stingy.

But later, the doctor sentenced the baby in her belly to death.

I called Gu Yunzhou in panic, again and again, but no one answered.

I searched online for information tremblingly, and found that the judgment of one doctor might not be accurate, so I should visit several doctors.

I went to six hospitals and heard doctors declare six times that my child had stopped developing.

I was devastated.

Gu Yunzhou arrived late, comforted me a few words, and then went to answer the phone for work.

I was particularly angry. Is work so important?

Is it so important that he can’t concentrate on spending time with me even though our child is gone?

Xu Wan, who was following behind Gu Yunzhou, gave me a fatal blow: "I just asked the doctor, worrying during pregnancy can easily lead to the death of the baby. You clearly know that there is nothing between Gu Yunzhou and me..."

People who have just lost a child are particularly sensitive. They blame everything, and most of all, themselves.

I had been suspecting that it was because I had not taken good care of the baby in my belly that it came briefly and left so quickly.

Xu Wan's unintentional words touched me deep in my heart and made me paranoid.

No matter how many excuses you find in your mind, there is always a voice in your heart: it's all your fault, it's because you were not generous enough that the child was killed.

Over and over again, it caused me to become depressed.

Can't get out...

7

It never rains but it pours.

Gu Yunzhou's voice came from outside, and his brothers came to greet him: "Brother Gu, are you here? Don't come home until you are drunk tonight, and confiscate your phone!"

"Yes, hand over your phone, let me see who is the henpecked husband."

"Hey, how about we make a bet to see who gets the most calls?"

Among them, those who cared about their reputation handed over their mobile phones one after another, and their words were full of disgust for their wives' tactlessness.

An elder advised them, "Isn't it good that your family cares about you? Just report that you are safe."

"Hey, why are you reporting safety? I was free before I got married. If I report safety, doesn't it make me look like a coward?"

Those light words hit my heart hard.

A similar scene happened in my previous life.

But I was not a bystander at that time, but a poor person involved in it.

Gu Yunzhou came back from a business trip, and I prepared a large table of food. I waited and waited but he never showed up.

I thought he was delayed and didn't pay much attention to it. I waited another day, but still no news.

That day, the news came that the plane had lost contact, and my heart was suddenly shocked. No way?

The place where he was on a business trip was not there, but he liked that city and he might go there.

No way!

I called him desperately, hundreds of times, but no one answered.

It was not until the evening that we contacted the relevant people, who said that he had indeed gone to that city and might have boarded that plane.

My legs and feet were numb and I rushed out to make sure he was on the plane.

I was so anxious that I fell down the stairs, my phone flew out, and I couldn't move. I lay there in pain and worry for the whole night.

It was not discovered until the next day.

I also found out that nothing happened to him, but he was hanging out with his brothers. I guess they were also playing this game at that time?

Being high and mighty, he tramples on sincerity at will.

The matter is over now, are you still laughing at others for being stupid?

Later, when Mother Gu was dying...

My heart aches so much that it's numb. It's time to put an end to the things in my past life.

I stood up, slapped Xu Wan, and poured all the wine on the table on her.

"Ah!" Xu Wan screamed, "Lan Miaomiao, are you crazy?"

I'm crazy!

So what, I regret not going crazy earlier!

I was unable to vent my anger for my children and myself earlier!

"You deserve it! When you need to explain to others that there is nothing wrong between you, you have already crossed the line!"

In my previous life, after I lost my child, wasn’t she interfering in those calls I made to Gu Yunzhou?

Didn’t Gu Yunzhou agree?

Of course there was, he just didn't care enough. He thought I was ignorant and disturbed him when he was doing something important.

Everything is a serious matter, except your wife, who is a trivial matter!

How can I not feel pain, how can I not hate!

The others heard the noise and rushed in, led by Gu Yunzhou.

"Fuck, Lan Miaomiao, why are you bullying Xu Wan..." His brother was incredulous.

​‍‍‍​‍‍‍‍‍‍‍​​​​‍‍​‍​​‍​​​​​​​​‍‍‍​​‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍​​​​​‍‍​​​‍​‍‍​​​‍ ​​​‍​‍‍‍‍‍​​‍‍​​‍‍​ ‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​​​​‍​​​‍‍​​​‍‍‍​​​​‍‍​​​​‍‍​‍‍‍‍​‍‍‍​​‍‍​​​‍​‍‍‍​ ​​‍​‍‍​‍‍‍​​‍‍‍‍​​​​‍ ‍​​‍​​​​‍‍​​​​​‍‍‍​‍‍‍​​‍​​​‍‍​​​‍​​​​‍‍​​​ ​‍‍​‍​​​‍‍‍​​​​​​‍‍‍ ​‍​​​‍‍​‍​‍​​‍‍​​‍​​​‍​​​​​‍‍​​​​​​ ​​‍‍​‍‍‍​​‍‍​​​​​‍‍​​​​​​‍‍​‍‍ ​​​​​​​​​​‍‍​​​‍‍​‍‍​​​​​​​​​​​​‍‍‍​​​​​​​​​​‍​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ‍‍​‍‍​‍​​‍‍‍‍​‍‍​​‍‍​​ ‍‍​‍​​‍​‍‍‍‍‍​​​‍‍​​​​‍‍‍‍​​​​​​‍​​‍‍‍​​​​​ ‍​‍‍‍​‍‍‍‍​​​​‍‍​‍​​‍‍‍ ​​‍​​​​‍‍‍‍​‍​​‍‍‍​‍‍‍‍​‍‍‍‍​​​​‍‍​‍‍‍‍​​‍​‍‍‍‍‍​​‍​‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍​‍‍​​‍​‍​‍‍‍​​‍‍​‍‍​‍‍​​‍‍​‍‍‍​‍‍‍​‍‍‍​‍‍‍​‍‍‍​‍‍‍​‍‍‍​‍‍ ​‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​​‍‍​​‍‍​​‍​​‍​​​​​‍‍​​I slapped Gu Yunzhou twice. I was still not satisfied, so I poured all the wine on the table on him. .

He is an accomplice, and all the evil deeds done by others can be traced back to him. The main culprit!

"Give me more wine!"

The waiter hesitated.

Gu Yunzhou gritted his teeth: "Let her do it!"

"Oh my god!" His brother's eyes widened, "Brother Gu, you are not under a spell, are you?"

Gu Yunzhou glared at him fiercely: "Shut up! If you don't like marriage so much, you should stand up and use your own abilities to say no to your parents at home!"

"Instead of mistreating your wife and putting all the blame on her!"

The group of people were so embarrassed that their faces turned red.

My heart skipped a beat.

8

It shouldn't be like this.

In my previous life, after I was injured, I hated Gu Yunzhou even more and had a big fight with him.

He said that he just wanted to save face in front of others and it was not intentional. After I became depressed, he had been with me for so long and he also needed to relax.

I will always remember the disdain and impatience in his eyes. He admitted his mistakes and wanted to save face.

Oh!

Now that he doesn’t care about his face anymore, there is only one possibility - he has also been reborn.

It just so happens that today's sword killed last year's "envoy".

The wine came and the others swarmed out.

How dare they stay?

I sneered.

Gu Yunzhou was so panicked that he handed the bottle to me: "Miaomiao, if you are angry, just throw it. Do whatever you want."

"I will no longer associate with them. I won't play that game with them... As for Xu Wan, I have cut ties with her family and will no longer cooperate with them..."

I splashed it hard on him, and his body was covered in red, green and purple, looking extremely funny.

But I don’t feel happy.

There’s no going back!

I really can’t go back!

Gu Yunzhou blocked my way, his eyes were red, and he looked like a poor little guy.

"Lan Miaomiao, I was wrong, I was really wrong! I can change everything. I will try to be a good husband in the future. Please, don't leave me, okay?"

I pried open his fingers inch by inch. The hurt was done, the love was gone, and the defenses were built.

Snap——

Gu Yunzhou knelt down in front of me.

I was briefly shocked and walked away extremely numb.

9

I was getting busier and busier, and Gu Yunzhou didn't want to cut ties with me. But he couldn't stop me.

My father knew the whole story, and instead of advising me to cherish my child like other parents did, he supported me.

"Thanks, Dad. Don't you think I'm too picky?"

"Picky? My daughter, you should be picky! If you don't gamble or go to prostitutes in your marriage, and you haven't made any big mistakes, then you can blame everything on the people around you, isn't that wrong?"

"No, you are totally wrong. One party's indifference is more terrible than cheating. Doesn't he know that you are being bullied? He just doesn't bother to care and wants to save himself the trouble."

"But it is precisely this kind of convenience that makes women feel helpless. As the saying goes, every family has its own problems, and life is not satisfactory in nine out of ten cases. Why can't we just bear with it? Don't be ungrateful for what you have..."

"But they don't think about the fact that if they change a person or a marriage, they may not have these bad things. If all else fails, just live on your own! You are rich and outstanding, why should you suffer this injustice?"

I was made to laugh by my dad.

He is the wise one who appears foolish!

With the help of his father, the cooperation between the two families was rapidly reduced. Before the outside world heard the news, Gu Yunzhou could no longer sit still.

I often visit my father.

Before, he would only visit during the holidays. Although he would give gifts, he was not close enough and would usually just eat a meal and leave.

Daddy greeted Gu Yunzhou with a smile, and he personally made tea for Daddy. His technique was skillful and meticulous.

"Dad, have some tea!"

Dad pondered for a while and said, "I don't dare to drink this tea! Wait, you ask me like your mother asked my daughter, whether this is Longjing picked before Qingming Festival or after Qingming Festival, or ask me where the Maojian is from?"

Gu Yunzhou was embarrassed and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, it's my mother's fault!"

My dad didn't comment.

He asked someone to serve roast duck and enjoyed it with Gu Yunzhou. Gu Yunzhou had refused to eat it before, but now he was willing to eat it.

"How is it? Did you figure out what kind of duck this is? How long does it take to raise it?"

Gu Yunzhou couldn't answer.

My dad showed his disdain: "You don't even understand this!"

“I… I’m sorry…”

"Tsk, what are you sorry for? As my son-in-law, you should understand my family's business. Otherwise, I will take you to my circle for dinner, and you won't be able to show off!"

Gu's mother also said the same thing, except that the varieties of roast duck were replaced with coffee and tea.

It's funny, Gu Yunzhou and I are both professionals, busy with work every day. When we meet a partner who likes a certain aspect, we will intensively learn the knowledge in that aspect.

If all else fails, go find someone who understands.

Obviously, this knowledge is not necessary, but it becomes necessary for Gu's mother.

It’s not that I don’t understand, it’s just that the answer is not detailed enough, so it becomes vulgar.

But why should we use Gu's mother's definition and replace it with my father's definition? How good is Gu Yunzhou?

He doesn't know anything about breeding, planting, or mining...

Dad is disgusted.

No matter how hard Gu Yunzhou tried to go there, he had to reduce the number of times he went there.

"You said you love Miaomiao? Is that all your endurance?"

Coincidentally, Gu's mother also said this to me.

Gu Yunzhou's face turned pale, and he couldn't hide the sadness and guilt in his eyes.

I advised my father: "That's enough. If you keep going on like this, he might mistakenly think there is hope."

"Bah! He's not worthy! I know my limits, don't worry about it."

10

My dad has spoken, so I won’t care anymore.

I don't know how the two of them started arguing and my dad fainted.

I rushed to the hospital.

The first time he saw Gu Yunzhou at a loss, he repeated like a child: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to..."

I have experienced the same thing. I didn’t say anything harsh, but I couldn’t help but feel anxious: “My dad is old, can you stay away from him?”

Gu Yunzhou took three steps back as if he had been severely injured.

"I didn't ask you to let him..."

"I know..." Gu Yunzhou's eyes flashed with pain, "I asked you to let my mother go... did you also..."

Is he reborn too?

Gu Yunzhou didn't dare to ask. Once he asked, the harm would be exposed. He didn't dare to ask, he just wanted to lie to himself.

He fled the hospital in defeat, not daring to look back.

Dad has high blood pressure, it’s not a serious problem.

"Dad, don't make me worry about you!"

Dad waved his hands and said, "I'm old, I can't do it any more. I can't bear the thought of that old witch bullying you behind my back. Forget it, I won't do it any more."

The Lan family's financial foundation is not as strong as the Gu family's, but they are developing rapidly, and have won several projects. They are thriving and are showing signs of overtaking the Gu family.

Gu Yunzhou was depressed, and his mind was not entirely focused on his work. He seemed to be in a state of decline after reaching his peak.

I saw him waiting for me downstairs again, and I smiled and said, "Boss Gu, don't you put your work first?"

Gu Yunzhou smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry. It's funny, isn't the meaning of working hard to make life better for your family? I don't know why I was so wrong..."

“Because I don’t cherish it!”

Gu Yunzhou was hit by what was said and was speechless for a long time.

I reminded him that the separation between the two families had been completed and they could divorce as soon as possible.

Gu Yunzhou's voice trembled slightly: "Is there really no chance? Please..."

I shook my head decisively.

11

Things in the business world change rapidly. I stayed up for several nights and had just concluded the project when I heard the news that Gu Yunzhou had been in a car accident.

This didn’t happen in my previous life.

I went to see Gu Yunzhou with the divorce agreement.

Gu's mother stayed by his side, her constant chatter full of dissatisfaction.

It turns out that Gu Yunzhou had a car accident because of me.

He called me hundreds of times, but I didn't answer. People around me knew that we had a bad relationship, so they didn't answer.

Gu Yunzhou was so concerned that he was confused and had all kinds of wild thoughts. Finally, he couldn't hold it in anymore and drove to find me.

He was so nervous that he hit the guardrail and was seriously injured. His left leg joint was shattered and he didn't know if it would heal.

I curled the corners of my lips, what a turn of events!

I can't wait to know, he suffered what I suffered, can he feel my pain?

As soon as I appeared, Gu's mother's face changed in an instant: "What are you doing here? Isn't it enough that you have harmed my son like this?"

Gu Yunzhou told her to shut up and humbly thanked me for coming to see him.

I handed over the divorce agreement. His eyes flickered and he sighed: "So, you were so hurt at the beginning. I understand. I don't blame you..."

Mother Gu didn't understand our riddle: "If we don't blame her, who else can we blame? If you hadn't gone out to look for her, how could this have happened?"

"But she is busy with work. Isn't it abnormal for her not to answer the phone?" Gu Yunzhou looked gloomy.

In his previous life, it was Gu Yunzhou who blamed himself and it was his mother Gu who excused him. Now everything is reversed.

Mother Gu was furious: "It's already this time, and you are still speaking for her? What's so good about her? She can't even drink afternoon tea..."

Gu Yunzhou didn't understand why his mother was still holding him back at this moment.

He could no longer bear it: "You are the best. You know how to drink afternoon tea. But when something happened at the company and Dad fell ill, you just cried! Those daughters-in-law you liked would stay away from you or even do something bad to them..."

Mother Gu looked pale and shaky: "Are you attacking me for her?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

I watched a farce, and I should have returned all the hardships I had suffered, but for some reason I found it boring.

"Sign it! It's good for both you and me!"

Gu Yunzhou didn't dare not sign, so he hired a lawyer to transfer more property. He also gave me part of Gu's shares.

It was Gu's mother who hoped that I would divorce her son, and when everything became a foregone conclusion, she was also the one who couldn't accept it.

"How can you abandon Yunzhou! If you leave Yunzhou, can you find someone better?"

I looked her straight in the eye and smiled: "Aunt Gu, please understand that I don't need to use a better man to prove myself. I am not a canary!"

There seemed to be something broken in Mother Gu's eyes, but I didn't want to delve into it.

She used to be high and mighty, and no amount of fancy clothes could conceal the fact that she had nothing but her status.

That’s right, Father Gu has a woman outside, and he even has the idea of ​​getting a divorce for that woman.

Without her identity as Mrs. Gu, she is nothing.

The Gu family was in danger that time, and it was also the work of a woman outside.

A few months later, Gu Yunzhou and I officially divorced and announced it to the public.

Everyone was shocked.

He and I often met in the mall, and we became strangers and sometimes rivals.

Our only tacit understanding is to attack Xu Wan's family's business, and occasionally harvest part of the market from his former friend's family.

The Xu family retreated step by step and sent Xu Wan abroad in order to seek forgiveness.

The business world is like a battlefield, a place where affection is least valued. How could Xu Wan have done something without their support behind the scenes?

The Xu family was defeated.

Xu Wan was struggling. She had great ambitions, but she didn't have the ability. When she worked with Gu Yunzhou, she praised herself too much. She always felt that she was capable.

He was too ambitious and lost all his family fortune.

Xu Wan was unwilling to accept this, but she had no other choice but to go out to work. But even there, she couldn't compete with some Chinese people. She became increasingly poor.

After raising the child for a while, Gu's mother returned to work and wanted to choose a daughter-in-law that she was satisfied with.

Gu Yunzhou's legs were a little lame, and he was unwilling to find another one. No one from the same class came forward.

Many people secretly laughed at Gu's mother for having no vision. She didn't even like a daughter-in-law like Lan Miaomiao. She must be blinded by greed!

What about high-end cuisine and high-end afternoon tea? Outsiders don't understand, but Gu's mother can't see through it? It's clearly a class and concept created by capitalism to harvest the leeks of those who are "proud of it".

They do care about their circles, but when it comes to having enough money and ability, those are always icing on the cake.

Mother Gu was so mocked that she dared not go out and complained to her son. But her son replied, "Isn't what they said true?" He also asked her if she didn't want him to be happy.

Gu's mother denied it on the spot.

Gu Yunzhou seemed to see through everything: "No matter how you choose, you won't be satisfied if you marry her."

When I heard this, I was overjoyed.

Yes, why do we have to make so much trouble? Why can’t we leave some space for our son?

But what does that have to do with me?

I was making great progress in business. The shareholders, who originally thought that I had made my fortune thanks to Gu Yunzhou, no longer dared to underestimate me and praised me as a heroine.

They talked about the same old things and were concerned about my marriage from time to time.

I frankly said that I haven't met anyone I like and don't want to get married for the time being.

After all, I have money and can do whatever I want, so why should I trap myself in a marriage?

When my dad found out, he didn't push me, but encouraged me. He whispered, "You don't have to find a man. At worst, we can go abroad for IVF and raise the baby ourselves."

I am happy, it is a direction.

But there is no rush now. The only way to relieve worries is to get rich quickly.

If you meet the right person and start a relationship, that's also good.

It doesn’t matter whether you get married or not.

After all, the slogans of the Civil Affairs Bureau have been changed: Married people are not necessarily happy, and single people are not necessarily unhappy. Love is a spiritual luxury, and it is okay to have it without.

The old dream is gone, and a new life is about to begin.

13 Gu Yunzhou Extra

The first time Lan Miaomiao proposed divorce was after my mother passed away.

I was struck by lightning and had no idea why.

I sat there until dawn, with cigarette butts all over my feet. From having no clue, I became able to deal with specific things one by one.

It's very small, so small that I usually don't notice it.

Looking back, I feel that every one of them deserves death.

I remember the anticipation in Lan Miaomiao's eyes when we first got married, the joy in her eyes when she cooked for me, and the satisfaction that filled my chest when I ate the food she cooked.

At that time, I obviously liked her so much.

Yes, I liked her earlier than she did.

The prince of the Gu family was actually regarded as a poor boy. I thought it was novel and teased her on purpose.

I am very happy to see her protecting me.

From the beginning, I was looking forward to being exposed as soon as possible, to being afraid of being exposed in front of her. I knew I was screwed.

After I was exposed, she was really angry and ignored me. But I used a little trick and she came back to me.

I was very proud of myself, thinking that I was smart and that if I could take every step carefully, she would be mine sooner or later.

Seeing that she was attracted by another man, I took action and tore off the man's mask.

Most of it works.

Only once did I meet a man who was as he seemed. I couldn't stop Lan Miaomiao from having a crush on him, and she even gave him a love letter.

I was so jealous that I intercepted the love letters.

Do whatever it takes to imitate a man's handwriting and politely reject her.

He took advantage of Lan Miaomiao's loss to comfort her and took the opportunity to sneak in.

How clever I was, I easily occupied her mind again. On the surface, I treated her as a brother, but in reality, I overlapped her life with mine, filling it up little by little.

I bet, one day she will be unable to leave me!

I won the bet!

My family went bankrupt, and everyone either left me alone or was unable to persuade my family and could only stand by and watch.

Only Lan Miaomiao insisted on helping me, even at the cost of quarreling with her family. She was different from others, who were just idling around, but she was the heir.

What she said worked!

I deliberately asked her what she wanted, and deliberately took advantage of her talking nonsense and joking to really give myself to her.

I would not hesitate to lie and cut off her escape route.

I also saw through her selfish motives in agreeing to this. It was the first time I was certain that she liked me. I was so happy that I went crazy and vowed to give her the best of everything.

But what did I do?

In order to make a comeback, she gradually stopped going home for dinner and allowed Secretary Liu to not answer her calls.

I never thought that they were all so heartless. She was the one who helped me, so why didn't they respect her?

Every time something like this happened, I wanted to beat those people up, but the damage was already done.

I am powerless to change it, and I hate myself for not caring enough.

Yes, I just don’t care enough and don’t pay enough attention.

Secretary Liu treats her badly, so will the people around me treat her well?

Definitely not!

Didn't I expect that?

No, I thought of it.

But my mind was conquering a higher status, and I felt that it was just a small matter. I even thought from a high position that I had given her the supreme status, gold, silver and jewelry, and it was only natural that she should be wronged occasionally.

I am a man and cannot stay in the land of gentleness for long.

Sometimes, I was praised so highly by people around me that I unknowingly put illusory face, work, and outsiders before her.

Not only is she not the only one, but her priority is also declining.

I always feel that we have plenty of time, but if we don’t seize the opportunity in business, it will be gone.

I just went out to discuss cooperation with others, and I didn't look for women outside.

I just chatted with my brother, and I spent more time with her.

I just received a few more calls when I was with her, but it was all for our better tomorrow!

You see, even if I realize my mistakes, I can find a lot of excuses for myself.

But the excuse couldn't fool her, nor could it fool myself.

I specially asked a personal makeup artist to do my makeup so that I can look beautiful tonight.

"(If)" Because I always feel that everyone will leave me, only she will not. Naturally, I will think less about the relationship between us.

If I don't cherish myself, how can the people around me not treat me with contempt?

Wait a little longer, when xx comes, you can compensate her.

In the end, she left my life.

I was reborn again, I thought it was a chance given to me by God. I tried to make up for it everywhere, but it was not enough.

There are people holding me back everywhere.

The funny thing is, the swords in their hands were given by me.

Time and again, after experiencing the same feelings, I finally realized what a jerk I am.

Let my mom go?

Hahahaha, epic joke. If it wasn’t because of me, does she need to give in?

I went to accompany my father-in-law several times, and his difficulties made me feel embarrassed. How could I feel that if I kept a distance, there would be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

I never tried to adjust myself, I just wanted to muddle through.

Just for work.

Yes, when I didn’t answer her calls because of work, I thought it was natural. When she didn’t answer my calls because of work, I was very anxious.

When in contact with other men, I get jealous and crazy.

I deeply felt her original thoughts. I knew that she had nothing to do with them because of work. But I felt bad because work was much more important than me.

I wanted to be as helpless and furious as she was. Isn't work meant to make life better for the family? Why did she put the cart before the horse?

I can't!

Because I've done the same thing many times.

Oh……

I can only blame God for allowing her to be reborn.

It made me realize that I had done enough and had to let go.

Without me, Lan Miaomiao is living a more comfortable life. She has no one around her, but I can't replace her.

I only have a glamorous appearance.

When I wake up in the middle of the night, I am filled with the bitter wine of regret. It is so bitter.

If I could go back to the past, I would definitely advise my younger self: Cherish the person in front of you, and don’t wait until the flowers fall to bear the bitter consequences.
