Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Signing the Divorce Agreent
Su ixi didn’t speak but looked at the breakfast in his hand.
Bi Yuanhang smiled, “Have you eaten?”
Of course, she hadn’t.
This was an old neighborhood, with many authentic breakfast joints nearby that the local residents loved. The prices were cheap, and there was no need to make her own.
But she didn’t want to accept his breakfast either, so she nodded, “I have eaten.”
“Oh, that’s good. I only bought two servings, my sister loves to sleep in, and she’s still in bed at this ti.”
...
So it was for his sister.
Su ixi smiled faintly, “Then enjoy your al.”
“Okay, I’ll head up then,” said Bi Yuanhang.
He didn’t linger or pester her, just like any ordinary neighbor would do.
Su ixi let out a sigh of relief.
Her marriage wasn’t final yet, and she didn’t want to handle too many emotional entanglents.
…
When she arrived at the hospital, she was supposed to have an early eting, but Mr. Wang told her, “Soone wants to see you in the director’s office, go have a look.”
Su ixi was perplexed for a mont, then she went over.
Upon reaching the director’s office, she saw Mr. Han standing outside; upon seeing Su ixi arriving, he couldn’t help saying, “Dr. Su, you go in, soone is waiting for you inside.”
“Director, what about you?”
“I have sothing to discuss with Mr. Fan; you go in by yourself,” Mr. Han walked away hastily.
Su ixi paused for a mont.
The person inside seed to hold significant clout, to the point that even Mr. Han was treating them with utmost respect.
She entered the room.
Inside, she saw a stranger, a woman around 40, with an extraordinary presence, obviously a successful woman with vast social experience.
“Hello, Dr. Su.” The woman introduced herself first: “I’m Linda, Mrs. Qiu’s assistant.”
“Mrs. Qiu is…?” Su ixi didn’t recognize anyone with the surna Qiu.
Linda smiled, “That would be your current mother-in-law, Gu Wei’s mother. She sent to discuss so matters with you.”
Su ixi’s heart jolted for a second, and then she also smiled, “She wants to leave Gu Wei? To discuss terms?”
She hadn’t expected that the cliché TV drama and novel plots would play out in her own life.
The male lead’s mother, offering a million to get her to leave her son!
Linda took out a docunt and handed it to Su ixi, “This is the divorce agreent Mrs. Qiu drafted for you, which includes the compensation she’s offering you. You can have the house in Yang Guang District and the car, plus, a compensation of ten million. Do you think that’s enough?”
Su ixi returned the agreent to Linda, “There’s no need for so much. I only want 200,000. Gu Wei took 200,000 from pretending to be poor in front of . I don’t want to be at a loss, just return that money and it will be fine.”
Linda was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Gu Wei could do sothing like that, considering the Gu Group’s profits were deposited into Gu Wei’s account on ti every year, and his inco exceeded tens of millions annually.
“Dr. Su, are you certain you don’t want anything else?”
“If Mrs. Qiu indeed insists on compensating , please trouble yourself to donate this amount to Yang Guang dical. After all, I have helped Gu Wei, and he relies on for sleep,” said Su ixi.
Linda looked at Su ixi, admiration in her eyes, “Dr. Su has integrity. Then I’ll just modify the agreent right now; you’ll only take 200,000.”
“Go ahead and change it. Once it’s changed, I will sign,” Su ixi said indifferently.
Using the director’s office computer, Linda began to make the changes.
While doing so, she glanced at Su ixi.
Having t countless people, she could tell this girl appeared soft on the outside but was incredibly stubborn on the inside.
If we put aside social and family backgrounds, she and Gu Wei would actually be quite a match.
Perhaps out of sympathy, she said to Su ixi, “Dr. Su, actually, Mrs. Qiu isn’t trying to bully you. If you had visited Gu Wei’s real ho, you should know that the two of you don’t match, I’m referring to status.”
Su ixi responded, “Is that so? I’ll have a chance to see it soday.”
Linda quickly finished the revised agreent and handed it to Su ixi.
Su ixi glanced through it roughly, found no problems, and took out the pen from her white coat pocket, and with a quick stroke, she signed her na.
…
Su ixi was also working in the outpatient clinic today.
Working in the outpatient clinic was almost like going to war. From the start of the workday, she continuously dealt with different patients, with no ti to rest.
By the ti she finished work, she saw that her phone had several missed calls.
There was only one from Gu Wei; he must have given up after seeing she didn’t answer.
There were seven from Zhou Yuan.
She called Zhou Yuan back.
Zhou Yuan asked, “Sister Su, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, what’s up?”
“Sister Su, my dad told about you and Second Young Mr. Gu, I didn’t expect your boyfriend to be Second Young Mr. Gu!”
“Do you know Second Young Mr. Gu?” Su ixi asked.
“I must have t him when I was little, but I don’t rember, so I didn’t recognize him. But, my dad told everything about you two.”
This morning, Qiu Yurou had called a eting with all the heads of departnts, and Mr. Zhou had also attended.
Mr. Zhou was very good at reading situations. Seeing how urgently Qiu Yurou wanted to develop a drug for sleep, he guessed that Qiu Yurou must be at odds with Su ixi. So he hinted around and asked Gu Cheng.
Although Gu Cheng didn’t tell him much, he was able to guess.
Qiu Yurou had co back this ti to break up a pair of lovers!
Although Qiu Yurou wasn’t the founder of Gu Group, she had grown the business over the past decade, holding substantial prestige in Gu Group as an outstanding businesswoman.
There was nobody in Feng City who didn’t know Qiu Yurou.
Qiu Yurou was decisive and acted thunderously; nobody could stop what she wanted to do.
So Mr. Zhou told Zhou Yuan about it.
Mr. Zhou was an old fox. By telling Zhou Yuan, on one hand, he let her inquire under the guise of concern.
On the other hand, he also wanted to learn about the developnts to see whether he should side with Qiu Yurou or Gu Cheng.
When Su ixi received Zhou Yuan’s call, she asked her, “Do you know where the Gu family lives?”
Zhou Yuan said, “I know. I went to the Gu family’s parties several tis when I was little, brought by my dad. I was young and didn’t understand anything, just rember that their house was very big. But I haven’t been there much since I grew up. I heard their family went through so trouble and never hosted parties again. It must be because your boyfriend’s father passed away.”
“Could you take there for a look?” Su ixi asked.
“You want to go to the Gu family’s house? Sure, I’ll take you!” Zhou Yuan thought Su ixi wanted to confront them and encouraged her, “Sister Su, love shouldn’t be about matching social status. If you like Second Young Mr. Gu, you should declare war!”
…
After work in the evening, Su ixi went to the eting place she had arranged with Zhou Yuan.
This was a villa area to the north of Feng City, far from the downtown hustle, only the wealthy lived here, the greening was well taken care of, and there was only a villa every so often.
Rather than call them villas, they were more like large estates because there was a great distance between each villa, with each household having a large yard.
Zhou Yuan drove to pick up Su ixi and then led her to the Gu family estate.
“Sister Su, we’re here!” Zhou Yuan pointed to the estate ahead.
A huge iron gate separated the Gu family from the outside world, gardeners busied themselves in the garden, and guards at the gate were vigilant when they saw a car approaching.
As Zhou Yuan unbuckled her seat belt, she said, “Sister Su, let’s hurry on in.”
Su ixi imdiately grabbed her, “No, let’s not go in!”
“Not going in?” Zhou Yuan was puzzled—weren’t they here to declare war?
“Sister Su, you have to fight for Second Young Mr. Gu. Let’s go have a talk with that old lady. No matter what, I’ll be on your side.”
Su ixi smiled.
“Let’s just wander around the vicinity for now.”
“You an to familiarize yourself with the surroundings first? Okay, let’s wander so more and gather up the courage before we fight!” Zhou Yuan beca excited again, like a magical girl ready for battle.
She drove around the Gu family estate once more.
So parts of the Gu family’s estate were hidden behind walls, obscuring the view inside, while other areas were fenced and only allowed a glimpse into a corner of the garden.
As darkness fell, lights in the Gu family estate began to glow, looking splendid against the night, like a paradise on earth.
Thinking back to her own old house, Su ixi couldn’t help sighing in her heart.
Indeed, these were two completely unequal classes, two entirely different worlds.
It was ridiculous to think Gu Wei didn’t have money or had just a little more than she did.
Linda was right, she truly didn’t match up!
After Zhou Yuan drove for a while, she spoke up again, “Sister Su, sothing just occurred to . It was my dad who told , rember the equipnt he sold to your hospital? It was your boyfriend who contacted him about it.”
