Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Cutting Ties
On the next day, when the sky gradually brightened, Li Yulan was awakened by the wind blowing in through the window.
Her face was wet; in her dreams, she had cried for an unknown length of time, and the traces of tears were still not dry.
She wiped the tears from her face, reached for her phone to check the time, and it was only six in the morning.
Normally, at this time, she hadn’t woken up yet.
She was getting older and hadn’t woken up at this hour in a long time.
Other than some junk messages, there was nothing on her phone.
Xi Bei hadn’t replied to her message all night; perhaps to him, she wasn’t important at all!
If she were more important than that woman, why would he treat her this way?
Li Yulan felt a wave of discomfort in her heart, as if a giant hand was fiercely squeezing her chest, making it difficult even to breathe.
In the end, in matters of emotion, women are always the ones who suffer the most loss!
Lying in bed for another ten minutes, Li Yulan took a deep breath and sat up: "It’s okay, it’s not like I have nothing. At least I have two apartments under my name, and all the money Gu Zheng has given me over the years, and the money I’ve saved myself!"
Even without Xi Bei, I can live well.
She packed her things into a suitcase; everything was packed into two suitcases.
Jewelry, cosmetics, and those bags and clothes she once bought at high prices, all packed up.
These are all hers; even if someday she falls into poverty, these things will be enough for her to live much better than ordinary people.
As for Xi Bei and Gu Zheng, from now on, just consider these two people as never having appeared!
Even though she’s older now, within her circle at this age, she still has the confidence to easily outshine those housewives and create a stable life for herself.
As for... as for Wanwan, the future matters should be left for Gu Zheng to handle!
This is his daughter; he shouldn’t try to wash his hands of the matter.
And Gu Heng, it will be a few years until he gets out of prison, and after that, he’ll be directly shoved onto Xi Bei.
This is the disaster he created, and of course, he should bear the consequences!
Just as well, she wants to see how Xi Bei will face this son?
And how will the woman beside him deal with it?
Thinking of this, Li Yulan flashed a sinister smile: "This is really quite a show!"
It’s all Xi Bei’s pressure that pushed her to this; since he turns a blind eye to her suffering, then don’t blame him when the fire is fueled later!
As dawn shone into the room, once everything was sorted, the digits on the phone had already changed to 7:45.
Li Yulan sat by the window, looking at the sunlight outside. Though her heart still ached faintly, after a night, it was somewhat alleviated. Perhaps it’s because she’s thought it through, that the pain in her chest has lessened by two points!
Just then, a couple of knocks sounded at the door: "Knock knock——"
Li Yulan didn’t move: "What’s up?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized her voice was already hoarse, involuntarily feeling an indescribable irritation.
Even if she gets divorced, she wants to do it with the most elegant demeanor.
Looks like she’ll have to say less later!
Otherwise, Gu Zheng might look down on her even more.
"Ma’am, breakfast is ready; everything is prepared!" The servant’s voice came from outside, sounding the same as before, yet upon closer listening, it carried a trace of barely detectable embarrassment.
Indeed! She’s about to leave, and this title of ’Ma’am’ does feel a bit awkward.
"Got it!" Li Yulan sniffed, trying her best to make her voice sound normal: "I’ll be down soon!"
Pushing the two suitcases filled with her belongings to one side, Li Yulan then stood up and randomly changed into a simple outfit before heading to the bathroom.
In the bathroom mirror, her hair was messy, no longer neatly maintained like before, her red-rimmed eyes made her look extremely disheveled!
She took a wooden comb to tidy her hair, washed her face, and since all her belongings were packed into the suitcase, she simply brushed her teeth before heading out.
As soon as she left her room, she encountered the butler who came to call her down: "Ma’am, the meal is set, sir is waiting for you."
Yesterday, the commotion between the two was so enormous that all the servants heard it.
The mistress, who had hardly been legitimized, was about to be thrown out of the Gu Family; this event seemed pretty remarkable.
After all, Gu Zheng usually treated this woman quite well.
Precisely because of this, the butler only became half a ’Ma’am’s person’ after she had been around for a few years.
Li Yulan nodded, looked at the butler, and said: "Let’s go!"
The butler replied with an affirmative and accompanied Li Yulan downstairs, to the dining table: "Sir, ma’am is here!"
Gu Zheng, dressed in a suit, sat at the table meticulously, and as he looked up, his handsome face was hard to ignore: "Sit down!"
It must be said, half of Gu Ningyue’s beauty comes from her father’s blessings!
Li Yulan didn’t say much, leaving the chair and sitting across from Gu Zheng.
Needless to say, over the years, Gu Zheng has indeed given her ample face in front of outsiders.
Just a pity, she doesn’t love Gu Zheng.
Though Gu Zheng’s looks are far better than Xi Bei’s, to her, the little bit of sincerity she had in her youth was given to Xi Bei, and those who followed were only for possession!
Moreover, what difference is there between Gu Zheng and herself?
She’s only after money, while Gu Zheng is after wealth and murder!
Otherwise, Gu Ningyue’s mother wouldn’t have died!
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng’s unexpected move yesterday gave all the shares to Gu Ningyue.
Now with this, presumably Gu Ningyue, who has held resentment towards Gu Zheng for years, has no choice but to make the right decision!
After all, Gu Zheng has handed over the entire Gu Family; she should have already let go of the past and is preparing to shake hands with Gu Zheng in reconciliation!
Ha, how could it be possible to trust a man like Gu Zheng, who had an affair during marriage and later killed his wife to lift a mistress?
Clearly, he’s old now, and with Gu Ningyue finding such a strong backing like Ling Tianyou, he’s not a match, so he chose to do that!
Currently, aside from the fifty million as a dowry for Gu Wanwan, Gu Zheng has at least fifty million in assets.
By returning Gu Ningyue’s mother’s belongings to her, it eliminated years of hatred, and Gu Zheng surely plotted a fine strategy!
I wonder if Gu Ningyue will realize it? At least from the looks of it, Gu Ningyue has transformed from her former self.
Hopefully, she won’t be as foolish as before on this matter!
