Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Both Sides Signed
Gu Family.
When Qiu Yurou heard the noise, she ca over as well.
Seeing Gu Wei in such a drunken state, she couldn’t help but beco angry, “It must be because of that woman. Didn’t we agree not to let him see her?”
Gu Cheng said, “Mom, Gu Wei might truly like Dr. Su. Otherwise…”
“Shut up!”
Fine, Gu Cheng shut up.
...
Qiu Yurou ordered the nanny to bring hot water, and then she carefully wiped Gu Wei’s face as he lay unconscious from drinking.
As she wiped, she said, “It’s just a heartbreak; he’ll get over it in a few days.”
…
Early morning.
Gu Wei finally woke up.
Although he had slept through the night, because he had fallen asleep after getting drunk, upon waking he felt like his head was about to explode, which was not much better than the sensation of insomnia.
As soon as he woke up, the servants hurried to inform Qiu Yurou.
Qiu Yurou ca over, ordering the servants to help Gu Wei wash up and even brought hangover tea for him.
Gu Wei refused the servants’ assistance and struggled to wash up and change clothes by himself.
Qiu Yurou sat on the sofa in the room, not daring to be too commanding, afraid of provoking her son’s ire.
Her son always knew his own mind and rarely lost his temper, but that didn’t an he was a pushover.
After Gu Wei ca out of the bathroom, having taken a shower and changed, he looked a lot fresher.
He sat down next to the sofa and drank the hangover tea.
Qiu Yurou asked, “Gu Wei, do you feel a bit better now?”
Gu Wei nodded.
Qiu Yurou then said, “Gu Wei, you might feel now like your mom is pressuring you, but when you reach a certain age, you’ll understand that I’m doing this for your own good. Mom wouldn’t harm you.”
After a mont of silence, Gu Wei asked, “Mom, where is the divorce agreent you asked to sign?”
“It’s with , what about it?”
“I want to sign it.”
Qiu Yurou’s eyes suddenly shone brightly, “Okay, I’ll bring it to you right now.”
Not long after, Qiu Yurou fetched the agreent.
Gu Wei took it and read through each clause.
Qiu Yurou explained from beside him, “I originally wanted to give her a house and a car, plus another ten million, but she wouldn’t take it. She just wanted you to pay her back the two hundred thousand, which I’ve already had Linda transfer into her account.”
Gu Wei’s heart ached suddenly.
She was that kind of foolish girl.
She didn’t want to owe anyone anything, nor did she want people to say she was socially climbing; she was exceedingly cautious with her feelings, guarding her heart tightly, fearful that giving it away would leave her utterly devastated.
After a while, he picked up a pen and signed his na next to hers.
Seeing Gu Wei sign, Qiu Yurou couldn’t help but say excitedly, “Gu Wei, it’s good you can let go. Do you have ti tomorrow? I’ll take you to et that girl I’ve told you about; she’s beautiful, cos from a good family, and has a great personality. You’ll definitely like her once you et her.”
Gu Wei was disinterested and replied indifferently, “Mom, tomorrow I’d like to return to the military.”
“So soon? The dicine for your insomnia hasn’t been figured out yet; why go back so quickly?”
Gu Wei looked at her with a gaze that was distant and full of disappointnt.
“I have already divorced, when I return to the military is up to .”
Qiu Yurou was shocked by Gu Wei’s look.
Fearing pushing him any further might turn mother and son into enemies, she didn’t pursue the topic.
After all, once the dicine for insomnia was ready, she would imdiately send it to him at the military base.
…
Su ixi had not slept all night.
This was the first ti in many years she had suffered from insomnia.
Throughout the entire night, her thoughts were consud by Gu Wei.
When she broke up with Qi Anran, she had not been so upset, but the thought of Gu Wei leaving made her heart ache and her tears flow.
She felt an impulse to seek him out recklessly, ready to challenge societal prejudices if only he was willing. She would have been ready to face them together with him.
However, thinking of his domineering mother made her realize how difficult the path ahead would be, and she dared not bet her whole life on it.
Love was too illusory, and if he also changed his heart, then she would be utterly defeated.
Thus, she spent the whole night picking up her phone, then putting it down, over and over, never quite able to decide to dial his number.
…
In the early morning, Su ixi was having breakfast at a nearby breakfast shop.
Not long after she sat down, Bi Yuanhang also arrived.
“Xiao Xi, good morning,” Bi Yuanhang said.
Su ixi had not slept all night, so she naturally lacked spirit and rely nodded in response.
“Xiao Xi, do you rember soone from our middle school nad Blue Sky?” Bi Yuanhang asked.
Blue Sky?
Su ixi certainly rembered; there was a very popular toothpaste comrcial on TV at the ti, and the brand was called Blue Sky Six Must Uses. As a result, that classmate was often laughed at, and one ti, Blue Sky couldn’t take it anymore. He charged into the school’s broadcast room and yelled at all the teachers and students, “My na is Blue Sky, and I have nothing to do with toothpaste!”
Afterward, Blue Sky beca famous at school, and everyone there knew him.
Now that Bi Yuanhang brought him up, he took Su ixi back to those days.
“What happened to Blue Sky?” Su ixi asked.
“He’s getting married, and since he knew I was in Feng City, he invited to attend his wedding. Do you want to co along? A lot of our classmates will be there.”
Su ixi shook her head, “Forget it.”
Bi Yuanhang said, “It seems Blue Sky’s wife is from your grade, nad Bai Xiaoyun, your next-door classmate. You might see a lot of old classmates if you go.”
Su ixi paused.
She rembered Bai Xiaoyun, a very warmhearted girl who was the physics class representative. Since both classes had the sa physics teacher, she often ca to their class to help distribute test papers and howork.
Su ixi said, “If they’re getting married and didn’t invite , I won’t go.”
“But Blue Sky ntioned on the invitation that so classmates weren’t invited simply because he didn’t have their contact information. He welcos everyone to co. After all, the wedding will be a buffet, so there’s no worry about not having enough space. Think of it as an opportunity to clear your head.”
Su ixi said, “We’ll see.”
Bi Yuanhang added, “Their wedding is next Sunday. If you want to go, you can find anyti.”
After that, he didn’t say much more and just quietly ate his breakfast.
…
Su ixi had been out of sorts during morning etings for the past two days and had been scolded by Mr. Wang.
“Su ixi, do you think highly of yourself just because you took a trip to Guang City? I asked you two questions and you didn’t hear either?”
Su ixi replied, “I apologize, Mr. Wang, what did you just ask?”
Mr. Wang was left speechless with frustration.
Fortunately, it was only during etings that she was distracted. During working hours, she maintained a busy pace, and as long as there were patients, she didn’t think about Gu Wei.
During lunch, Sister Zhou couldn’t help but ask Su ixi.
“Dr. Su, is there a problem at ho? Or is it… emotional?”
In recent days, rumors spread in the departnt that she had broken up with her boyfriend. Before, she used to drive a Land Rover to work every day, and now she was riding an electric bike every day.
If driving a Land Rover was to avoid traffic, she still chose the electric bike even though there was a typhoon these past two days.
Su ixi admitted, “Yes, I broke up with my boyfriend.”
“Broke up? Why? Your boyfriend seed like a great guy. Last ti at the celebration dinner, you saw how popular he was.”
Su ixi gave a bitter smile, “That’s exactly it. He was so popular that soone else took him away.”
“Huh?” Sister Zhou was startled.
Then she looked at Su ixi with sympathy.
In just two short years, Su ixi had already lost two n.
Su ixi smiled, “It’s nothing. With love, you have to be able to pick it up and let it go. As long as you don’t hang yourself on one tree, you’ll have an entire forest.”
Sister Zhou shook her head with a smile, “Regardless, you still have to get over it sooner.”
“I know.”
…
After work in the evening, Su ixi rode her electric bike.
She was supposed to go ho, but sohow, she ended up driving to Yang Guang District.
It wasn’t until she reached the entrance of the complex that she rembered she shouldn’t be returning here, but to her old house instead.
She stood there, staring at the 16th floor of a building, which once was the ho she had shared with Gu Wei.
Every ti she’d co back before, she would instinctively glance up to see if the lights were on and if Gu Wei was ho.
But now, that unit’s doors and windows were tightly shut, and the lights were off.
Presumably, he had already returned to his real ho.
Su ixi was about to turn around and leave when it suddenly started to rain.
It was typhoon season lately, and the rain was heavy, with the wind blowing viciously. She had no choice but to take shelter in a nearby supermarket.
