Chapter 374: Chapter 374 Dusty Fate is Over_1
Wenya clung to Su Peisheng and wouldn’t let go, and I knew that her intentions were good; she was actually doing it for my sake.

I grabbed her,

“Forget it, Wenya! When Yinuo and I got our marriage certificate, he wasn’t aware of it. It can be considered that it was without his consent, so this marriage is inherently void. Besides, the reason I got married to him in the first place was to stay with him until he recovered from his illness; I really had no other expectations. Now that he’s cured, I can let go.”

“Ayun, don’t explain it like that, who are you to me? The care you put into Yinuo is no less than what you gave to Gu Yuanzhou! Do you know what angers me the most? After he recovers, he actually comes back and wants to kick you out, what kind of bullshit is that?”

Wenya grew angrier as she spoke, and eventually burst into tears.

“He’s bullying people! Ayun, he’s bullying people… I just don’t understand why you always get bullied by men! You clearly give your all, yet all you get in return is betrayal!”

I took a deep breath and smiled bitterly.

Patted Wenya on the shoulder, “Wenya, I’m fine! Really!”

Wenya then asked Su Peisheng,

“Can they just go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce certificate?”

Su Peisheng shook his head, “No!”

I was also taken aback, “Why not?”

“Because you’re dealing with joint property acquired during the marriage, you still have a lot of shares in Tianjiao Group after you got your marriage certificate with Yinuo. Moreover, you’ve accepted Gu Yuanzhou’s inheritance. If these are brought up in the divorce proposal, they will need to be divided. So, you guys need to sign a divorce agreement, listing all the property and agreeing on the details of the division before you can finally get divorced.”

“Oh, it’s that complicated. Can’t I just walk away with nothing?”

Su Peisheng pondered for a while,

“I’ve heard that Gu Yuanzhou also transferred Zhenyi Company to you. If you walk away with nothing, you would be giving up all that. Think it over carefully, are you really willing to give all these assets to Yinuo, and then, if Yinuo gets together with Jiang Jiaying in the future, these assets will ultimately end up in her hands. It’s unpleasant to say, but that’s the harsh reality.”

I looked at him in shock, having never thought that things could get this complicated.

“Is that how it is?”

“Yes, I’ve seen too many couples fighting over divorce. Some have kids and the division is all over the place. Some end up hurting each other over unsettled property after the divorce, turning into enemies. So, to be prudent, it’s best to handle the division properly.”

True to his profession as a lawyer, he could lay out the pros and cons clearly and concisely.

My initial intention of walking away with nothing meant not wanting the Ding Family’s assets.

Therefore, I also didn’t want to give the Zhenyi Company to the Ding Family. After thinking it over, I took Su Peisheng’s advice,

“Alright then, you agree to draft the divorce agreement first.”

Wenya stepped in and said,

“Su Peisheng, can’t you mediate this first?”

“That would need… The Civil Affairs Bureau or the court to investigate, in case it’s a litigation divorce…”

“What’s a litigation divorce?”

“Baby, you don’t need to know all this.”

“Why can’t I, are you discriminating against me?”

“No, no, I don’t think we’ll ever get to that point!”

“Hmph, I haven’t agreed to marry you.”

“Isn’t it just a matter of time…”

Wenya suddenly snorted coldly,

“Marrying a lawyer, if we ever get a divorce in the future, wouldn’t I be at a huge disadvantage? After all, you are the professional.”

Su Peisheng broke into a cold sweat,

“What are you thinking? Why always expect the worst? Can’t you think instead, if you marry me, no one would dare to bully you. In the future, whether it’s work or life troubles, you’ll have a brave husband to turn things around for you.”

“Turn things around, then first help my best friend turn things around! If you have the skills to flip this situation, then I’ll agree to marry you.”

“Er…”

Su Peisheng looked troubled, then turned back to me, “You said we’re meeting Yinuo at the Civil Affairs Bureau, right?”

“Yes!”

“Then I’ll contact you. I’ll get back to you when I have news; wait at home for now.”

“Sure!”

Since that was the case, I could only head home first.

At this moment, Su Peisheng went to find Ding Yinuo, and Wenya stayed with me.

“I think you should stay at Xishan Residence!”

“No, it doesn’t belong to me anymore.”

“Then where are you living now?”

I remained silent.

Wenya kept asking, and finally, I had to tell the truth, “Beilu Hill!”

“Holy shit, you’re living in that place? That’s the Yin Mansion, staying there for too long isn’t good. Why don’t you move to my place? I have a room to myself, and adding you won’t make much difference. My parents like you a lot, and they’ve been asking about you recently.”

I rejected Wenya’s enthusiasm.

“No, Wenya, I’ve gotten used to it. It’s good over there…”

Wenya reached out and touched my forehead.

She worried I was sick and wanted to take me to the hospital for a check-up.

I declined her kindness, “Uh, I have to go now, Wenya. I still need to visit Zhenyi Company later.”

“I’ll come with you!”

“Forget it, it’s Thursday, you have classes! Don’t be silly, don’t waste so much time on me.”

“We’re best friends, how can that be a waste of time?”

“The thing is I’m fine right now. If there was something wrong, you could afford to delay, but there’s really no need now.”

“Alright then, I’m heading to school. Call me if you need anything later.”

“Yeah, will do!”

After watching Wenya leave, I then hailed a cab to Beilu Hill myself.

That so-called Yin Mansion was actually the best place for me to return to.

People in the world fear Yin Mansions because they are afraid of ghosts in their hearts.

But to me, those ghosts were my dear loved ones, and I wished they could come out and meet with me.

Perhaps one day Wenya would understand that a place called home is precisely where your loved one is.

As soon as I entered, I kicked off my shoes and sat on the sofa in a daze.

I didn’t know when it happened, but I dozed off in a dazed state.

It was in this half-awake, half-asleep moment.

I saw Gu Yuanzhou!

At that time, I was packing up to leave, and when I turned around, I saw him smiling at me.

“I’m about to leave soon, what are you doing at home?”

He stepped forward and embraced me from behind, his voice low and lingering, “Waiting for you to come back!”

The familiar and warm scene startled me awake from the dream.

The longing for him in my heart built up into a mountain, and I frantically pulled out my phone to dial his number.

That familiar number, I had dialed countless times, I could dial it even with my eyes closed.

Over and over again…

Gu Yuanzhou, answer the phone!

Gu Yuanzhou, you jerk, pick up the phone already!

If you just pick up the phone, I’ll forgive all your mistakes.

Please! Answer the call!
