Chapter 308: Chapter 307: He Plans to Leave Chapter 308: Chapter 307: He Plans to Leave “`
Soon, Mother Yan arrived.
Clearly, she hadn’t expected Xia Yiwan to find out so quickly about her fake pregnancy, and there was a hint of awkwardness in her deanor.
Mother Yan led Xia Yiwan to an empty office.
As soon as they entered, Mother Yan tightly grasped Xia Yiwan’s hand, “Wanwan, to be honest, resorting to such a asure was because I was at my wit’s end.”
Tears welled up, and a blush of red spread across Mother Yan’s eyes.
Xia Yiwan was slightly taken aback.
Her son didn’t have any hidden illness, did he?
That night, she had found that aspect of him quite satisfactory!
How had it co to a point where they were at their wit’s end?
“Young Master Yan’s grandmother has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Her greatest wish is to see Yanxi get married and have children. Even if there aren’t any children, just seeing him married would be enough to fulfill her wish!”
“But Yanxi, for so many years, has never even touched a woman.”
Xia Yiwan’s eyes widened. Wasn’t it rumored everywhere that Yanxi was a playboy?
He had never touched a woman?
That seed a bit too incredible!
If it weren’t for her own experience, she would have doubted if there was sothing wrong with his body.
“You are his first woman, and besides, our Yan Family has rules: whoever we touch, we must take responsibility for.”
Xia Yiwan’s scalp tingled.
From Mother Yan’s words, it seed she knew about that night she had spent with Yanxi!
“Wanwan, you have saved our Yan Family’s hope! Before you, we always thought that Yanxi was incapable!”
Xia Yiwan, “…”
She shook her head to clear her thoughts.
“But you can’t just drag into this marriage for your hopes! Aside from that one night, I hardly know Young Master Yan, and this marriage would be too hasty!”
If there was no child, she would never have agreed to a shotgun wedding!
“Wanwan, what’s done is done. Try to cultivate so feelings with Yanxi; perhaps he’s not as bad as you think,” Mother Yan suggested.
Xia Yiwan’s mind was in turmoil.
The impact and shock of this revelation were imnse.
“Could you let think it over carefully?” she asked.
Mother Yan nodded, “No problem, but for the ti being don’t tell Yanxi about this. I’m truly afraid he’ll co to argue with , and I’m also afraid that if his grandmother finds out, she will be so agitated that she’ll pass away.”
Xia Yiwan, “…”
After Mother Yan left, Xia Yiwan walked out of the office.
She found Ming Yao and said with a drooping face, “Yaoyao, I really don’t know what to do.”
Xia Yiwan told Ming Yao everything Mother Yan had said to her.
Ming Yao had a vague feeling that sothing was amiss.
How could Mother Yan, a matriarch of an aristocratic family, be so careless about her own son’s marital affairs?
To even use a pregnancy to deceive Wanwan and Yanxi, could there be so hidden reason?
“Wanwan, marriage is no child’s play. You and Young Master Yan have no feelings for each other, and now that it’s confird there’s no child, you need to think carefully whether or not you want to continue with him,” Ming Yao advised.
Xia Yiwan clasped her head with both hands and raked her hair in frustration, “I really do need to think this through.”
Towards Yanxi, Xia Yiwan neither liked nor disliked him.
Actually, marrying him would be a huge advantage for her!
Deep in her heart, she didn’t want to get married in haste and then divorce just as quickly—
Should she try to get along with him and cultivate so feelings?
Xia Yiwan was indecisive for the mont.
When leaving the hospital, Ming Yao didn’t see Gu Siting again.
Not long after returning to the small courtyard, Jing Hang ca back.
“Gu Siting’s doctor has already given him the dicine and watched him take it,” Jing Hang reported.
At this news, Ming Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
“He didn’t suspect anything, did he?”
“`
“No, the doctor said he vomited blood last night and went to the hospital today for an examination. He has been seeing this doctor for several years and trusts him quite a bit.”
“Today, the doctor found sothing abnormal during his checkup and planned to have him go to the capital for further examination. I took the initiative to call the doctor aside and gave him the Golden Heart-protecting Pill.”
“The doctor was quite surprised to see the Golden Heart-protecting Pill; anyone who knows dicine is aware that it’s priceless. I made a deal with him that as long as he doesn’t disclose the source of the pill, I would give it to him for free.”
“That doctor is clever. Knowing that the pill is good for Fourth Master Gu’s health, he signed a non-disclosure agreent with !”
Ming Yao nodded, “That’s good.”
Jing Hang looked at Ming Yao, hesitating to speak.
Ming Yao glared at him, “If you have sothing to say, just say it.”
“I heard he’s planning to expand his business to the capital.”
Ming Yao lowered her long eyelashes and pressed her red lips tightly together, remaining silent for a while.
She had heard it from him before returning to the Tang Sect.
The Gu Corporation is growing more and more successful; indeed, the market in Li City can no longer et his demands!
“Senior sister, if he moves to the capital, the chances of you two seeing each other in the future might be very slim.”
Ming Yao lowered her thick lashes, hiding the emotions in her eyes.
“After the divorce, indeed, there’s no need to see each other again.”
…
The lawyer prepared the divorce agreent and handed it over to Gu Siting to review.
Ming Yao had requested no share of his assets and would have refused any given forcibly, given her temperant.
Gu Siting respected her wishes and did not have the lawyer include any distribution of assets in the agreent.
He signed the docunt and called Lu Zhou on the intercom to co in.
“Those shares of the Ming Corporation that were secretly acquired, find a way to give them to her.”
The initial acquisition of shares in the Ming Corporation was only to help her secure a stable position within the Ming Family.
But before he could give them to her, they’d already reached this stage today!
Lu Zhou was not aware of the reason for their divorce.
His mind was always filled with confusion; not long ago, the two of them were still displaying affectionate and sweet love.
In the blink of an eye, they went their separate ways, becoming strangers.
“Fourth Master, a woman needs to be coaxed. Actually, I think the madam she…”
Gu Siting’s sharp gaze swept toward Lu Zhou, “Have you forgotten what I said?”
Lu Zhou imdiately fell silent.
A couple of days ago at the hospital, he and Fourth Master ran into Ming Yao. He had barely whispered ‘Madam’ when he was warned by Fourth Master.
It seems that this ti, an irreconcilable conflict had arisen between the two.
Before leaving Gu Siting’s office with the signed divorce agreent, Lu Zhou seed to rember sothing and took out an invitation.
“Fourth Master, Old Madam Ming’s seventieth birthday is in a week, and the Ming Family has sent you an invitation!”
Without even looking, Gu Siting’s face was cold and indifferent, “At that ti, just send a gift on my behalf.”
Lu Zhou nodded, “All right.”
Given the status of the Ming Family, Fourth Master usually wouldn’t attend their banquets personally.
If it weren’t for the wife’s relation, he probably wouldn’t even send a gift.
…
A week later.
The seventieth birthday banquet of Old Madam Ming.
The banquet was held at the Ming Family ancestral ho.
Ming Yao had returned to the Ming Residence two days earlier and was helping Old Madam Ming co down from upstairs.
Ming Guoan, Jiang Biyun, and Ming Wan had arrived as a family.
Ming Yao swept a glance across the living room downstairs; many guests had arrived, one of them being Shen Chunlin.
Very good, Jiang Biyun’s adulterous partner had also co.
Old Madam Ming glanced around and frowned slightly, “Yaoyao, why hasn’t Fourth Master co?”
