Chapter 193 - Xuecheng, Are You Tired?
Upon hearing this, Gu Zihang froze. He knew Du Huimin had done this for his sake. However, he was the CEO of Gu Group. His prestige had always not been as high as his mother, did he have to lower his head once again?
When Du Huimin saw Gu Zihang’s hesitant look, her eyes darkened.
“Zihang, if you do not want to divorce this woman, hand half your shares over to me. Think carefully!”
Gu Zihang was in a difficult position. Just as he was hesitating, Su Yurou seized his hands with a panicked look.
Su Yurou bit her lips and her eyes were filled with tolerance and sorrow.
“Zihang, it’s my fault. If you really are unwilling, then, let’s divorce…”
Looking at Su Yurou’s pained face, Gu Zihang clenched his teeth and finally replied, “Mother, Yurou is a good woman. I genuinely want to spend my entire life with her. If you wish to have my shares, you may have them!”
Anyway, Du Huimin would pass down her seat sooner or later. What could he lose if he were to bear a little longer? Wouldn’t those properties and shares belong to him eventually?
Du Huimin stared at Gu Zihang for a long time. Sigh, this son of hers was hopeless!
Du Huimin couldn’t help closing her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, her look returned indifferent. She sneered coldly. “We’ll sign the agreement tomorrow, then!”
When her voice died down, Du Huimin left, leaving Su Yurou and Gu Zihang gazing at one another.
Gu Zihang hit his head painfully and showed a bitter smile.
Today was a weekend and it was rare he got a day off. He should be happy today but he couldn’t be happy with the two pieces of bad news.
Heartache arose in Su Yurou and she held out her hand apologetically, trying to massage his brows.
“Zihang, should we still go to Tianquan Street for dinner?”
Gu Zihang looked solemn. His eyes were unfocused, as if Su Yurou who was in front of him was merely air.
“No, you go on your own if you wish to!”
Hearing Gu Zihang’s tone, Su Yurou’s heart skipped a beat. This was the first time Gu Zihang had ever been so impatient with her.
It looked like her trick of faking pregnancy had made Gu Zihang really angry. She had to work hard to bear the grandson of the Gu family quickly!
By then, they would not treat her like this anymore!
What happened today was a great blow and humiliation to Su Yurou.
If she did not use her child to secure Gu Zihang’s trust, she was afraid that her status of Gu Group’s young madam would be in danger!
***
After Du Huimin left Beiling cemetery, busy with finding fault with Su Yurou, Jiang Xuecheng was thinking about how to make Su Wan happy.
Su Wan sat on the co-driver’s seat as she spaced out. She half lowered her head. Although Jiang Xuecheng had consoled her, she was still feeling down.
This incident involved Su Wan’s departed parents. If it was not investigated properly, Su Wan would be ill at heart all her life.
Su Wan pursed her lips. She turned around to examine the man who was driving seriously. Finally, she couldn’t help asking, “Xuecheng, did you start investigating this matter from a long time ago?”
How much had this man done for her silently without her knowing?
What good did she have to be genuinely treated well by such a person?
Jiang Xuecheng examined Su Wan faintly and smiled. “I started not long ago and coincidently, progress has been made these few days.”
Hearing how Jiang Xuecheng touched on it lightly, Su Wan did not believe him.
“Xuecheng, are you tired?”
She tried investigating this incident in the past but had gained nothing. Jiang Xuecheng would have had to spend more effort and time to investigate this incident three years later.
Looking at Su Wan in a state of loss, Jiang Xuecheng smiled gently.
“Wan Wan, a man should protect the woman he loves.”
The cold breeze blew gently through the half-opened window but Jiang Xuecheng’s words were like flowers blooming in the night wind, making Su Wan feel silently touched and shocked.
Jiang Xuecheng had long wanted to carry this on his shoulders. He didn’t want Su Wan to worry because of this.
Because he loved her, he didn’t want her to feel aggrieved or sad.
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes swept across the streets in front of him. The neon lights were flashing from a distance. The sign of a cinema suddenly caught his eyes.
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes lit up. He smiled at Su Wan and inadvertently diverted the topic.
“Wan Wan, shall we go for a movie?”
Su Wan was stunned as she looked at him. Before she could speak, she saw Jiang Xuecheng stepping on the car brake and stopping his car by the side.
Seeing Jiang Xuecheng getting down from the car, Su Wan was speechless. Hence, she followed suit.
Why did he so abruptly decide to watch a movie? Were there any good movies in the cinema lately?
Just when Su Wan was doubting, Jiang Xuecheng tugged her hand and dragged her into the cinema not far away.
As this cinema was near a university, Su Wan saw many students in the cinema with the majority being young couples.
Looking at their youthful smiles, Su Wan felt better.
“Wan Wan, which one would you like to watch?”
When Su Wan looked at the titles of the movies moving on the red screen, she was hesitant.
She had not planned to watch a movie and she was not someone who would chase after celebrities. Hence, she didn’t have great interest in movies.
After a long struggle, Su Wan saw a movie poster on her right with the title A Dream of Yearning.
Eh, the actor looked familiar. Wasn’t he Zheng Feng, the main actor of Nirvana of Phoenix?
Su Wan could still recall the lively atmosphere during Beitong’s celebration banquet when Zheng Feng and Ye Siren appeared. Many girls from Di Chen’s planning department had screamed for Zheng Feng that day.
Since Zheng Feng had won the best actor title twice, movies in which he acted should be of good quality, shouldn’t it?
Su Wan pointed at the movie poster and smiled faintly. “Let’s watch this—A Dream of Yearning.”
Jiang Xuecheng saw the actor’s name on the poster and immediately understood why Su Wan had chosen this movie.
“Alright, I’ll go and get the tickets. Please wait for me here.”
Very quickly, he went over to the ticketing counter. To Jiang Xuecheng’s surprise, this movie was very popular despite its plain poster.
Today was a weekend. So, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng could not get good seats and the tickets happened to be the last few. If they had arrived a little later, they wouldn’t have been able to get their tickets.
After getting the movie tickets, she saw the sign of their seats and was surprised.
Was it because Zheng Feng had many fans?
