Lawyer Li immediately went back to Doris with what Gu Qiwu said, and naturally, she was furious!
“Gu Qiwu, since you want to be so cruel, then don’t blame me for being disloyal!” Doris condemned as she ruthlessly tore up the divorce papers into pieces. Then, she turned to look at Lawyer Li. “Get all the evidence, and send them to the court as soon as possible. I’m determined to get this divorce. Gu Qiwu, you betrayed me first, and now you want to go back on your word. I have the documents that he signed when he first transferred the shares. I’m sure I won’t leave empty-handed! Gu Qiwu might not be the one who gets Hui Gu Corporation in the end!”
“Miss Doris, do we want to reconsider it?” Lawyer Li tried to confirm once again.
“There’s no need for further consideration. This is the only way! I know Gu Qiwu too well. He won’t easily change things that he’s set his mind on, so since he won’t willingly sign the papers, we’ll just give him a cardiac stimulant and just get the results we want.”
“But, Miss Doris, you have to think this through. If this thing gets blown out of proportion, it won’t be beneficial for you either. On England’s end…”
“That’s my problem. Just do as I say. Also, I hope that you can increase your work efficiency. I don’t have too much time to waste here. Later, get Linda to help me arrange things. I want to be discharged in two days. Gu Qiwu should really examine his capabilities before even thinking of grounding me!” Her cutting voice spoke again before she averted her gaze.
Her arrogance made Lawyer Li shudder and he quickly answered, “Alright, then I’ll get it done right away.”
…
After Lawyer Li left, Doris appeared gloomier. Her exquisite little face was covered with frost and her blue eyes were as frigid as snow.
Leave with nothing?
Gu Qiwu, oh, Gu Qiwu, is this your so-called love?
When that man wanted to be cruel, who said that he would admit defeat to women?
Thankfully, Doris never believed him. Otherwise, she might have ended up like that dumb and slutty woman, Mu Zi!
…
On July 15th of the lunar calendar, which was also the Hungry Ghost Festival, Xi Xiaye woke up very early. After she helped Mu Xiaocheng clean up, she handed him to Sis Wang.
Then, she left the house to visit Xi Jiyang. She did not bring many people along with her. There were only two bodyguards and Chauffeur Wang who drove.
At the end of the staircase, Xi Xiaye suddenly said softly, “Wait for me here. I’ll go up alone.”
“Yes, CEO Xi.”
The two bodyguards quickly stopped before Xi Xiaye reached out to take the bouquet and paper basket and continued to walk ahead.
Very few people visited Xi Jiyan’s gravestone, but it was clean thanks to the sexton.
She stopped at Xi Jiyang’s tombstone and studied the face in the photo for a long while before she slowly bent down and put the bouquet on the tombstone.
“It’s been more than a year now. Grandfather, are you doing okay over there?” Her calm voice could not hide the faint bleakness and sorrow in her tone.
“In this short year, too many things have happened. Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel like things have remained the same, but people have changed…Father and Mother have reconciled. Ah Chen and I had a son too. He’s your great-grandson. Ah Chen named him Mu Zicheng. Also, we adopted a son whose name is Mu Zirui. They’re both very smart children. I think if you were still around, you’d definitely have loved them very much, but…”
Xi Xiaye smiled sadly while she gently wiped away the marks on the photos.
“Grandfather, I heard Father say that you actually loved my biological grandmother very deeply, but…I think you might have never felt happiness in your lifetime. I hope that over there, you’ll meet her again and continue your fate that couldn’t be completed in the last lifetime,” she said as she squatted down and lit up the ritual money and joss sticks in the paper basket.
“This world is always changing. Now, Ah Chen’s grandmother has passed away too. Grandfather, if you do meet her, please tell her to rest well and that we’ll handle all those things…”
As she watched the swaying flames slowly swallow up the joss sticks and ritual money, Xi Xiaye silently put both palms together and softly muttered a prayer.
After a long while, she silently opened up her eyes. The sound of familiar footsteps was heard, and there was a familiar fragrance in the air. She did not have to turn to know who had come.
“What did you say to Grandfather? I saw you silently praying for so long.”
His deep and sensual voice was heard. There was another bouquet of beautiful flowers that leaned beside Xi Xiaye’s bouquet.
She then averted her gaze from the tombstone and looked at him to ask calmly, “Why are you here?”
“I was worried, so I came to take a look,” Mu Yuchen answered in a low voice.
“Have you paid your respects?” Xi Xiaye asked again softly.
Mu Yuchen obviously knew who she was referring to. He thought for a moment, then shook his head. “I’m not going this year.”
Then, his profound gaze moved away from Xi Xiaye’s face and silently fell on Xi Jiyang’s tombstone.
Stunned, Xi Xiaye waited for a long while, but he did not continue. She inhaled and said softly, “I suddenly remember that it’s the Qingming Festival…It might be good not to go too. It’s time to let go of those unhappy things.”
He did not reply, but after a pause, he suddenly reached out to hold her cold hand that lay by her side.
“What about you?” he asked.
She suddenly turned and her beautiful, elegant face looked up at him. Her beautiful gaze stared and met with his equally profound eyes.
“I’ve long let go of it. It’s you who hasn’t been able to get over it and worrying everyone,” Xi Xiaye said and calmly averted her gaze before lowering her lashes. “There might not be a right and wrong for everything. Not everything I’ve done towards the Xi family was right. Right now, West Park is empty and will no longer experience the cheerful laughter of the past. I can’t deny that I played a huge part in that.”
“It was not our choice, Xiaye,” Mu Yuchen said in a deep voice while his hand that held hers tightened slightly, “Just like how I…”
“Mmm, I know. It’s only right now that I seem to be able to see you more clearly, and empathize.” Xi Xiaye sighed softly and smiled. “Has there been progress with Gu Qiwu and Doris’s matter? You look like you’re in quite a pleasant mood.”
She knew that this matter had been on his mind recently.
