Jiang Siyou believed in the adage that, ‘A wise man submits to circumstances’.
Compared to Ye Xingbei today, she was nothing.
If she could make use of Ye Xingbei’s kindness and be forgiven then, with Ye Xingbei as her backing, she would have inexhaustible advantages!
Becoming an international superstar idolized by a great number of people and becoming wealthy would be easy!
Other people had no way of hugging this type of ‘golden thigh’ even if they wanted to, while she could do it if she threw her pride away and begged pitifully!
Ye Xingbei and her were sisters after all. As long as she wept a little more miserably, she didn’t believe that Ye Xingbei would not give in!
Jiang Siyou was calculative and flexible indeed—able to stand tall, yet also able to submit according to the circumstances.
Alas, she was gravely mistaken.
Today’s Ye Xingbei was no longer the Ye Xingbei from five years ago.
Any woman who had raised a child would become more strong-willed.
Although Xiao Shu was not her biological son, she had to protect him so that he could grow up healthy and happy. Ye Xingbei, who had persevered unfalteringly for five years, would no longer give anyone a chance to strike or exploit her.
She felt that this moment—where Jiang Siyou kowtowed to beg for her forgiveness—was wonderful. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough audience.
Suddenly, she thought about returning to the parental home two days later, as Gu Junzhu had said.
The entire Jiang family would definitely be there on that day.
Until that day… Jiang Siyou, wait and see!
And the rest of the people from the Jiang family!
She looked forward to their expressions when they saw that Gu Junzhu was not actually incurably ill and that she was not going to become a widow at all!
*
Two days later.
Morning.
10 o’clock.
Sitting leisurely at the backseat of the car, Gu Junzhu tilted his head to look at Ye Xingbei in amusement as she sat next to him, “I didn’t expect that you would actually return to the Jiang family’s parental home together with me.”
Ye Xingbei snorted and made a sidelong glance at him, “I never thought that the rumored unrestrained Young Fifth Master Gu who is fond of his freedom would actually give up the unfettered livelihood of his elite bachelor status to be trapped by a piece of marriage certificate!”
Raising his brow, Gu Junzhu looked at her, “Oh, so you understand me very well?”
Ye Xingbei cast an eye at him, “I had no idea at first, but now I do. Since if ‘you know yourself, and your enemy, you will never be defeated’. I’m doing this so that we can get a divorce as soon as possible!”
Recalling how she suddenly acquired a legal husband, Ye Xingbei felt so nauseous that she wanted to vomit blood.
The d*mn Jiang family!
The d*mn Jiang Siyou!
Watch how she would take care of her later!
“Divorce?” Gu Junzhu crossed both hands and rested them behind his head as he lamented with a long sigh, “My identity guarantees that I won’t be unable to divorce easily. Don’t think about our divorce anymore. Instead, you should consider the benefits of pretending to be a couple with me.”
Ye Xingbei frowned, “What kind of identity do you possess, that you can’t divorce easily?”
Gu Junzhu gazed at her, “Hasn’t my dad told you already? I’m a National Distinguished Expert, so my divorce has to be approved by the respective authorized personnel. Moreover, the authorized officer will definitely want the agreement of our family’s Old Master before he dares to approve it. Instead of thinking of waiting for our family’s Old Master to agree, it would be more realistic for us to wait for him to kick the bucket.”
Ye Xingbei, “…”
Was it really good to curse one’s own father like this?
Was he really Gu Junzhu’s biological father?
She wrinkled her brows, “I don’t understand. According to your family’s standards, what kind of woman can’t you find? Why must you search for the Jiang family, that deteriorating household?”
Glancing at her, Gu Junzhu clicked his tongue, “Looks like the Jiang family really has offended you badly—saying that your parental home is a deteriorating household without even a hint of stutter.”
Ye Xingbei snorted aloud, “I have not been a member of the Jiang family since a long time ago. My surname is Ye now, so the Jiang family is not my parental home at all!”
Gu Junzhu lifted his brow, “If the Jiang family is not your parental home, why are you rushing back there so impatiently?”
“Who told you that I’m going to the Jiang family to return to the parental home today?” Ye Xingbei also lifted her brow as she looked at him. “Today, I’m going back to the Jiang family to turn that place upside-down, okay? Since you—Young Fifth Master Gu—will be paying them a visit personally, all the Jiang family members will definitely be at home today! What was owed to me in the past, I will settle each and every one of them today, so none of them had better think of running away!”
