Chapter 633: Chapter 633: How Foolish Can One Be
Gu Ningyue looked at Li Yulan and Gu Zheng standing there and finally understood the meaning behind Gu Zheng’s summons today; this act was performed for her.
Yet, Gu Zheng’s motives were still somewhat unclear to Gu Ningyue.
After all, Gu Zheng had never liked her mother, and given what Li Yulan just said, logically, she should be the outsider.
Why did Gu Zheng want to show her this most unbearable side?
And why, did he specifically call Ling Tianyou?
"Li Yulan, is Xiao Heng Xiang Bei’s son?" Gu Zheng coldly asked Li Yulan.
Li Yulan bit her teeth, completely unwilling to tell the truth to Gu Zheng.
Even at this point, in Li Yulan’s eyes, she believed that as long as she kept quiet, she still had room to maneuver.
"No. Don’t make wild guesses!"
Gu Zheng sneered and laid out all the clues Gu Ningyue had given him in front of Li Yulan.
Seeing Li Yulan’s face turning extremely unsightly, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
This woman is still protecting her lover even at the brink of doom, yet she doesn’t know that her lover has long treated her as a tool, leaving her behind.
Now, she is a lone wolf.
The only ones she can believe in are herself or the man in front of her, who has kept her for decades.
Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and whispered, "Tianyou..."
Ling Tianyou turned his head, silently held Gu Ningyue’s hand, "What’s wrong?"
"Just how foolish must one be to believe in someone’s oral promises?" Gu Ningyue asked softly.
Ling Tianyou shrugged, "Perhaps, when love runs deep!"
Gu Ningyue gazed at Ling Tianyou’s profile; his face was handsome as ever, now even more dazzling under the crystal light.
Gu Ningyue sighed gently; if only none of this had happened.
By today, she should have been happily together with Ling Tianyou...
Thinking so, Gu Ningyue silently tightened her grip around Ling Tianyou’s fingers.
"Now, what else do you have to say?" Gu Zheng asked Li Yulan, who was weak all over, and her lips began to tremble, "I already know about your affair with Xiang Bei. The commotion in the company, is it also caused by your collusion? Fool! Do you really think I know nothing? I’m telling you, either sign this document and clean up and leave, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
He now has conclusive evidence; even if Li Yulan wants to sue, she won’t gain anything.
His only loss would be some damage to his reputation, but at this point, his company’s name has long been overshadowed by layer upon layer of news and scandals, does he even care about it anymore?
This, Li Yulan should be aware of.
After all, she has been by his side for so many years, no matter the motive, she knows him best.
She should understand that he no longer cares about these external possessions.
More so, when he called Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou over, he had already made a decision!
This time calling them over was also to make up for his past neglect of Gu Ningyue, and meanwhile express his stance.
Li Yulan looked at the document Gu Zheng threw at her, and upon seeing the divorce terms, finally reacted, "Husband, you want to divorce me?"
Gu Zheng coldly stared at the woman before him, devoid of the slightest warmth he once had.
It was her, who deceived him all these years, raising a son for someone else, and nearly squandered all his accumulated connections.
For this son, he almost worried himself sick day in and day out.
The more effort he put in, the more furious Gu Zheng became.
He once believed that Li Yulan was the only person in this world who would not betray him.
Yet later, he found that the one who betrayed him the most was her!
"I said, there will be no room beside me for anyone who betrays me!" Gu Zheng’s gaze was icy, his voice even colder, nearly freezing her blood, "Once a traitor, never again! Yulan, do you remember what I said to you right after we got together?"
When he first met Li Yulan, Gu Zheng remembered she was a girl with pigtails, her clear eyes full of innocence as she looked at him, asking if she could be with him.
He concealed the fact that he was already married, treating Li Yulan with utmost kindness while with her.
To the extent, during critical times, Gu Zheng did not even return home.
Gu Ningyue’s mother cried and stormed, finally directly uncovering his infidelity.
Since then, Gu Ningyue’s mother fell ill.
Yes! She must have been puzzled, comparing herself with a young girl who had less money and was less attractive.
Looking back now, even Gu Zheng is unclear, indeed! Besides not being as obedient as Li Yulan, what else did Gu Ningyue’s mother lack compared to Li Yulan?
And Li Yulan’s obedience was merely because he provided her what she wanted, and she needed to continue receiving what she desired, hence her compliance.
This truth, he actually understood when Li Yulan succeeded in rising to her position.
As long as she wanted money and was willing to stay by his side, and did not go too far, he would not mind.
But he never expected this woman to not only cuckold him but also play him like a fool for so many years!
Gu Zheng’s hand clenched tightly into a fist, brows carrying suppressed anger, fiercely looking at Li Yulan.
Gu Ningyue sensed something was wrong, raising her head to look at Gu Zheng, her nominal father.
He really seemed to be angry...
Wondering if her biological father, at the time he left her mother, ever thought he might regret someday, or if he ever considered he needed her mother’s presence in his future life?
If he did, at least he could claim a shred of conscience!
By then, he might find a way to leave a path for someone.
After all, without the community’s command and protection, taking a life means bearing legal responsibilities!
"Husband, listen to me!" Li Yulan trembled, trying to grasp Gu Zheng’s arm, but was pushed away by Gu Zheng, "It was all his force, I never wanted to get involved with him, but he used past things to force me, I care too much about you, husband! I haven’t betrayed you! Really!"
Past events? Gu Ningyue sneered, Li Yulan still doesn’t give up, still fabricates?
However, just because she doesn’t believe, doesn’t mean Gu Zheng won’t believe.
After all, it’s the woman he pampered for so many years; perhaps he would soften, who knows!
Thinking this, Gu Ningyue cast her gaze upon Gu Zheng.
Let’s see, how ’foolish’ this man can be, to what extent!
