Chapter 641: Chapter 641: These People
After a while, when Gu Ningyue came out of the bathroom with her hair dried, Ling Tianyou was already lying with his back to her, seemingly asleep.
Gu Ningyue softly called out to Ling Tianyou, and seeing that he didn’t respond, she turned off all the lights in the room and climbed into bed.
Just as she slipped under the covers, Ling Tianyou suddenly turned over and reached out a hand: "Come here..."
Gu Ningyue was slightly stunned, "Weren’t you asleep?"
Ling Tianyou had a faint, elusive smile on his lips, which was quite obvious even in the dark, "I was waiting for you, you woke me up."
As he spoke, Gu Ningyue was already pulled into Ling Tianyou’s arms: "Be good, listen, come closer!"
His voice was very gentle, and Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but do as he said.
Ling Tianyou gently held Gu Ningyue, "You’ll need to apply the medicine again tomorrow, won’t you? Don’t forget!"
Gu Ningyue nodded: "Mmm, I won’t."
After a moment of silence, Ling Tianyou said, "I’ll come home at noon to help you apply it. Tomorrow there isn’t much on at the company, I should be back early."
Gu Ningyue seemed puzzled, leaning against Ling Tianyou’s chest, she asked: "Weren’t you planning to meet Chen Rui? Have you figured out a time?"
Ling Tianyou thought for a moment, closed his eyes, and said leisurely: "No rush, I’ll settle your matters first, there’s plenty of time for that later!"
The engagement banquet was fast approaching, and Ling Tianyou intended to present Chen Rui with a grand gift before it began. For this, just a week’s preparation would be sufficient!
"Alright." Gu Ningyue yawned, and Ling Tianyou’s embrace seemed to have a mysterious charm, making her quickly feel drowsy: "Let’s sleep! Goodnight!"
As night fell, Ling Tianyou holding Gu Ningyue soon slipped into slumber.
Meanwhile, as Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou drifted off to sleep, another violent argument erupted in the Gu family villa.
The items in Li Yulan’s room were all smashed, and though dressed in a qipao, she had no elegance or charm left, only stood there screaming at the man before her: "All these years I’ve had neither achievements nor hardships, Gu Zheng, do you have any conscience at all? From the day I followed you, I’ve endured scorn, do you know how hard it is for me to live with Wanwan alone there? And now, you’re just going to kick me out like this! Do you have any conscience at all?"
Gu Zheng sat on a chair, watching his hysterical wife, feeling more and more disinterested, with not a sliver of attachment left.
"Did I make you suffer?" Gu Zheng said to Li Yulan, "Didn’t you already know I had a family? Your victim act back then must have been a pretense too! Do you really think I’m a fool who knows nothing?"
If it weren’t for Gu Ningyue revealing what Li Yulan did to him, perhaps he would still be in the dark about her!
He’d been too indulgent with Li Yulan over the years, never imagining that the woman who once cried in his arms had been plotting against him in secret for years!
He almost forgot, even a rabbit can bite if provoked!
"How... how can you say such things?" Li Yulan looked at Gu Zheng blankly, tears welling up in her eyes, "No matter what, at least before Xiao Heng was born, I was wholly devoted to you! Are you really this heartless to me? Gu Zheng, I can promise not to contact Xiang Bei anymore, I can give up everything, let’s not get a divorce, please?"
Just ten minutes ago, Li Yulan had called Xiang Bei.
With such a huge issue at home, she couldn’t care less about her prior agreement with Xiang Bei.
All she wanted was an immediate answer, to hear Xiang Bei’s stance on her!
Now, she had nothing left, no one to rely on but Xiang Bei.
But unexpectedly, Xiang Bei not only refused to answer her call but also sent her a message: "Let’s talk about it tomorrow!"
Li Yulan told Xiang Bei truthfully about what had happened today, but even after waiting a long time, there was no response from Xiang Bei.
She had risked so much for him, nearly losing everything, and how did Xiang Bei handle it? He was indifferent, acting as if none of it mattered!
Is this the same Xiang Bei who once cared deeply for her? Li Yulan crushed her phone screen in a fit of rage!
No, she can’t just do nothing!
She had to make one last attempt, she couldn’t end up like a lost dog!
She had nothing left, no Xiao Heng, no Gu Wanwan, no cards in her hand.
"Yulan, I’ve given you everything you wanted, continuing this is pointless!" Gu Zheng said to Li Yulan, his eyes devoid of any tenderness: "Tomorrow morning, we’re going to the civil affairs office for the divorce, no matter how much fuss you cause, this won’t change in the slightest! Understand? My tolerance for you has reached its limit! From now on, we’ll go our separate ways!"
"And, don’t make yourself look so pathetic!"
Saying this, Gu Zheng grabbed the shawl on Li Yulan and dragged her in front of the mirror: "Look at yourself, do you look like a woman at all?"
In the mirror, Li Yulan wept uncontrollably, the once exquisite makeup smeared, revealing a ghostly, haggard face.
Not a hint of beauty, only repulsion.
"Have you caused enough trouble today? If so, sleep! Tomorrow, after we finish the divorce proceedings, pack your things, and you must leave!" Seeing Li Yulan stunned by her reflection, Gu Zheng let out a cold laugh, releasing her and leaving the room.
At the door, Gu Zheng turned back to look at Li Yulan: "By the way, the butler said you’ve meddled with Gu Ningyue long before. I won’t pursue those things, but after you leave the Gu family, if you try to smear Gu Ningyue, don’t blame me for disregarding our years of marriage!"
As the door closed, Li Yulan let out a heart-wrenching cry, filled with resentment and pain.
She had plotted for so long, why... why did it all turn out like this?
It was all planned perfectly, all because of that girl Gu Ningyue!
If she had died back then, none of this would have happened!
She must have been interfering in the background, which is how Gu Zheng noticed those clues in the company!
And that dead girl Gu Wanwan, when did she discover her secret?
This dead girl, she actually turned against her family and told Gu Zheng?
Li Yulan clenched her fists tightly, her aging face displaying only twisted desire! These people, they all deserve to die!
