Chapter 116: Are You Guys Really Divorced?

  "So you're really leaving, Xiao Qian!" Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Qian, stretched out a withered finger and shouted, "I don't care how you do it, bring him back to me again!"

  Xiao Qian looked at Xiao Yi in surprise, with an expression as if he thought he was joking. "Grandfather, it's all over, you say this has no meaning."

  "What's the point of no divorce, remarriage is simple, if you don't like it I'll find someone to deal with you right now." Xiao Yi shouted loudly.

  Xiao Yi was furious, looking at these two children, in her heart, she was angry, resentful, and even more anxious.

  Said goodbye and left, without even a word of farewell.

  Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Qian, so angry that she wanted to slap him, but unfortunately, they were no longer children, and a fight wouldn't settle anything.

  He could only stare at Xiao Qian, "You said it yourself, no divorce, were you just fooling me back then?"

  "Grandpa, I've really tried to get along with Gu Yalan, but we're just not from the same world. She can't change into someone I like, and I'll never change in the direction she wants me to. The gap between us is unbridgeable, no matter what. How could I spend my whole life with her? It's unbearable."

  His voice was loud and clear, "Grandfather, you can't force me to love Gu Yu, you've already forced me to marry her once, you can't force me to marry her a second time..."

  Xiao Yi's face turned pale, his eyes looked at Gu Yan again.

  "Do you think so too?" he asked Gu Ye.

  She looked at Xiao Qian, her eyes slightly closed, and nodded. "Grandfather, since we're already divorced, it's impossible for us to get back together. As Xiao Qian said, we've tried before, but after six years, we realized we weren't suitable for each other, that's why we parted ways. This isn't a momentary impulse. However, I've reached an agreement with Xiao Qian, even if we're divorced, we won't make a big fuss about it."

  Gu Yu looked at Xiao Yan, she knew that no matter what she said, she would hurt Xiao Yan's heart. However, deep down, she still hoped that Xiao Yan could understand her thoughts, know the respect she had for him, and know that she was also very sad and distressed, and grateful for everything Xiao Yan had done for her in the past.

  "Grandpa, Xiaoyan and I broke up peacefully. Even though we're divorced, we'll still run the company together, separating work from personal life. Our relationship now is even better than when we were married. If I weren't occupying his wife's position, he would be more pleased with me... So, I think this kind of relationship suits us better, after all it's better than being in a loveless marriage."

  She looked at Xiao Yi, "I didn't tell Grandpa because I was afraid he wouldn't be able to accept it for a while. I wanted to let him know slowly and also let him see that even if we're not husband and wife, our relationship will still be good. But unexpectedly, I still made Grandpa sad. Sorry, Grandpa. If you want to punish me, then punish me."

  Xiao Yi's dry and withered eyes, still had a glimmer of life in the pupils, which wandered back and forth, looking at the two people again and again.

  Finally, he could only sigh and raised his hand, leaning back, after a long while, he turned his head around again.

  Her gaze turned to Xiao Qian again, "Since you're still working together now, try to get along well and put aside your prejudices. You may not really have any dislike for Xiaoye, just..."

  "Grandpa, how many times have I said it already……" Xiao Qian was anxious and couldn't bear to listen to these useless words of advice. If these grand principles were useful, he wouldn't be in this situation with Gu Yu today.

  There are many principles, but life is complicated and knowing them doesn't necessarily mean you can live well.

  Moreover, sometimes even if you know what's right and it's clear in your mind, but can you really control your own heart?

  Xiao Qian said, "Grandpa, you've already said what you needed to say, and I've heard enough. However, Gu Yu is just not my type. From the start, we weren't on the same wavelength. I know she's great, excellent, and has many good qualities, but if loving someone was that simple, wouldn't the world be less complicated?"

  Xiao Yi was blocked and returned, leaning there for a moment, thinking for a long time.

  The housekeeper had already changed the tea for a new one, and the just-poured tea water had been quietly replaced.

  Xiao Yi picked up the teacup, pinched the lid, blew it gently, and gazed at the ripples on the water's edge. He seemed to have taken a deep breath before speaking in a low voice, "Since that's the case, I'll put my words here, Xiao Ye, don't blame Grandfather for being heartless. If you were my daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, I would help you in any way possible. Now that you're not my daughter-in-law, if I still stand on your side, it wouldn't be reasonable, and others will also think I'm biased, giving away the Xiao family's resources to an outsider."

  Gu Xiang's heart skipped a beat.

  The word "outsider" made her somewhat unacceptable for a while.

  She spent six years in the Xiao family, now a divorce paper has discarded her outside this high wall.

  A wealthy and noble family, now thinking back, is truly heartless.

  Gu Yu understood this too, and it was also reasonable, but in her heart, she still felt a bit sour.

  Looking at Xiao Yi, she nodded and swallowed some bitterness, saying lightly, "Grandfather, I understand. This matter was also caused by myself. No matter who I offended, it must have nothing to do with the Xiao family. If someone targets me, there must be a reason. Although I don't know when I planted the cause, this consequence, I should come and bear."

  Xiao Yi nodded, "I know you're a good kid and can understand. The Xiao family has its own rules, even if I'm inclined towards you in my heart, I still can't ignore the rules."

  Xiao Qian looked at Xiao Yi for a moment, wanting to say something, but swallowed his words.

  Xiao Minglang finally let out a breath, staring viciously at Gu Yan with obvious mockery and cold laughter in his eyes.

  "He came out and said, 'Gu Yu, since you are no longer the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, what are you still doing here? The gate of the Xiao family is not something that can be entered or exited at will. Father, are you just going to let her get away with playing with the Xiao family like this?"

  Gu Yu looked at Xiao Minglang and knew he had never liked her.

  Gu Yu felt sorrow for herself, she had worked hard for so many years, but in the end it was all in vain.

  Xiao Jia had been married for six years, and she made Xiao Qian dislike her without saying a word. The rest of the people in the house didn't have any good feelings towards her either.

  Shouldn't she reflect on why she is so disliked?

  "That's enough, be clear, shut your stinking mouth." Xiao Yi slapped the table again, looking at Xiao Ming Jue with half of his eyebrow raised, not hiding the disgust in his eyes towards his own son.

  Xiao Minglang was taken aback, looking at Xiao Yi with a mixture of confusion and unwillingness. "Dad, am I right? She got divorced but didn't say anything, such a big thing, without discussing it with the family first. Is the Xiao family really so lowly that anyone can just come and trample on us?"

  "You're good at nothing but gambling and horse racing, what else can you do? You're fooling yourself and want to drag others down with you? They got divorced, that's a fact, but this matter, don't spread it outside for now. It's our family's internal affair, we'll handle it ourselves. Outsiders wanting to watch the show is impossible. Besides, what's wrong with your brain, why do you only think about one thing? Our family has several listed companies, have you counted them? If news of their divorce gets out, it will cause a stir and lead to losses of how much money per day? You know that? Are you so rich that you don't know what to do with your money, not content with just gambling, but also want to ruin the Xiang family's assets?"

  Xiao Minglang's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly realized that he had been too confident and hadn't thought things through.

  His eyes widened in panic and he hastily said, "Dad... I was wrong. I didn't think it through at the time. You're right, this shouldn't be spread around."

  He stared at Gu Yu, this Gu Yu, who had caused so much trouble for himself, and now even the divorce was not going smoothly.

  This is not what a woman should be doing.

  Xiao Bai nodded at Xiao Minglang, then turned to Gu Yu and Xiao Qian and said, "You both heard what was just said. This matter is temporarily confidential, you two go ahead and get busy."

  Xiao Qian glanced at Gu Yan and responded with a sound.

  Gu Yu thought that one day she would be able to leave the Xiao family and it would be incredibly easy.

  However, when that day really came, her footsteps were incredibly heavy.

  She stepped out of the house and looked at the familiar lawn outside. She knew that everything was now beyond repair, and she and Xiao Qian were completely over.

  Xiao Qian stood there, looking at Gu Yu, his mind a complete mess.

  Gu Yu stood there, looking ahead, took a deep breath and said, "I'll go back first, Grandfather has entrusted you with the task of comforting."

  Xiao Qian said, "Now you're satisfied, aren't you, Gu Yu? If one day you really go to prison, it's also something you've brought upon yourself. Don't blame others."

  Gu Yan smiled coldly and looked at Xiao Qian, "Yes, I'm satisfied. Don't worry, I won't blame you or anyone else."
