Gu Yanzhi clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to rush over, but he quickly calmed down.

He really shouldn't have gone. Logically speaking, Ling Xiaoman was just a former subordinate to Gu Yanzhi.

No matter what, he shouldn't have gone over.

He closed his eyes tightly, and felt Nian Wanru had grabbed onto his hand tightly. "Let's talk."

Gu Qingyao stood at the side with a very cold expression.

"Wanru, I am indeed not in the mood now …"

"When are you in the mood?" Nian Wanru replied with a question, "If you continue to be so perfunctory, our life will not go on."

Gu Yanzhi let out a long sigh, barely nodding his head: "Alright, say it, what do you want to say?"

"Qingyao, you go back to your room first." Nian Wanru's expression was very solemn.

Gu Qingyao was a little hesitant.

Gu Qingyao knew full well that Nian Wanru's attitude was definitely because of Ling Yiyi.

Just how far did Nian Wanru know this? Gu Qingyao didn't know.

Nian Wanru urged her: "Xiao Yao, listen to me."

Gu Qingyao could only return to her bedroom unwillingly. The soundproofing was not too good, and she could hear the sounds of Nian Wanru's collapse and the sound of her smashing things.

Gu Qingyao was trembling with fear, she could not even remember where she was at this time in her previous life.

But when she realised all of this, she was already standing in the hallway, looking at Gu Yanzhi who was hurriedly putting on his clothes.

"Father." Gu Qingyao calmed down and said softly.

Gu Yanzhi forced himself to nod his head and said: "Xiao Yao, your mother is indeed too agitated with regards to this matter. I'll go out and sleep for the night first.

"Is it because of Ling Yiyi?" Gu Qingyao pulled Gu Yanzhi back.

Gu Yanzhi closed his eyes and said: "Go ask your mother."

Gu Yanzhi violently swung his arm, catching Gu Qingyao off guard and almost staggering.

She looked at Gu Yanzhi, and said with a solemn voice. "If Father leaves now, there will be no need to come back in the future."

"What did you say?" Gu Yanzhi turned his head in disbelief.

This matter is father's fault. Father did not manage to settle the matter of Ling Xiaoman and Ling Yiyi properly, which is why Mother is so sad. But where does Father leave to now? "Are we going to the media?" Gu Qingyao's eyes were very cold.

Gu Yanzhi's adam's apple rolled a little as he looked at Gu Qingyao with an indescribable expression.

"Xiao Yao, are you saying that all of this is my fault?" Gu Yanzhi asked.

"What does father think?" Gu Qingyao asked in reply, "Could it be that mother's constant retreat is in exchange for father's condition?"

Nian Wanru abruptly pulled open the door, causing all of the words that Gu Qingyao was about to blurt out to become stuck in her throat.

"You already know about it?" Nian Wanru looked at Gu Qingyao with a complicated expression.

Gu Qingyao was startled. "What?"

"I mean. Xiao Yao, you already know about all these? " Nian Wanru was obviously on the verge of tears, and even the fingers holding onto the handle of the door were trembling. She looked at Gu Qingyao, her eyes filled with obvious panic.

Gu Qingyao's heart suddenly hurt. "Mother …"

"What do you mean?" Gu Yanzhi's throat was a little hoarse.

"In the past, I had always thought that since Qing Yao was still small, all sorts of things would pass, and that it was just me passing by, Xiao Yao had always thought that we were very fond of each other, so I always pretended to be loving for others to see. "It's been so many years, so many years. I've coordinated with you to act out one scene after another. I've never blamed you for anything, but you've really gotten worse." Nian Wanru said in a low voice.

Gu Yanzhi panicked a little, "What are you saying … I told you, it was all a misunderstanding. "

"If it was really a misunderstanding, then you wouldn't have given Xiao Yao the shares. I have never blamed you, but do you really think I am an idiot who doesn't know anything?" Nian Wanru's eyes turned red.

Gu Yanzhi's face turned extremely ugly.

After a long while, Gu Yanzhi finally asked in a low voice: "What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything." Nian Wanru laughed bitterly, "If we can't take it anymore, we'll..."

"No way!" Gu Yanzhi said resolutely, "You should also think about Xiao Yao. Furthermore, after Ling Yiyi's matter is over, I will also have something to do with him in the future. Wanru, even if it's for all these years, you should just overturn this matter, right?"

The rest of the words were practically pleading.

Seeing that Nian Wanru did not say anything, Gu Yanzhi came over and pulled Gu Qingyao away: "Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao, say something, do you really wish for us to get divorced?"

Gu Qingyao looked at Gu Yanzhi, her eyes flickering slightly.

"There's no need to talk about that," Nian Wanru's eyes were filled with unspeakable grief: "Gu's is currently busy setting up a secondary market overseas, if I really were to ask for a divorce at this critical juncture, it would probably not be good for you, and Gu's would not be able to continue either … It's because you saw that I wouldn't do that that you forced me to do this. "

Gu Yanzhi panicked and hurriedly took two steps forward, muttering: "Wanru, why do you think this way? Didn't you say before, that no one will love you and your mother as much as I do? This is the truth, you really have the heart to let Xiao Yao rebuild his family together with his stepfather? "

Nian Wanru's expression slightly changed. She flung Gu Yanzhi's hand away and said in a heavy voice, "Xiao Yao is still here, you …"

"Wanru, give me a chance." Gu Yanzhi said in a low voice.

Nian Wanru looked at Gu Yanzhi for a long time before silently lowering his eyes.

"Mom …" Gu Qingyao whispered.

"Xiao Yao, be obedient. Don't think too much about it. Go back." Nian Wanru reached out and took Gu Qingyao's hand, then directly returned to the room. After slowly releasing her hand, Gu Qingyao saw the tears in Nian Wanru's eyes.

"Mom, you don't have to care so much about me …"

"Mom indeed didn't want to make such a big deal out of this. She just said those words because she wanted to find out more about your father." Nian Wanru laughed bitterly, and wanted to say something but held back. "Enough, Xiao Yao. Don't think too much into it.

After Nian Wanru finished speaking, she closed the door without saying anything further.

Gu Qingyao listened through the door and heard Nian Wanru talking to Gu Yanzhi in a low voice. Gu Yanzhi apologized in a low voice and seemed to have gone back to his room together with him.

Gu Qingyao was quiet for a long time. When Xiao Ze came in to send off the fruits, he saw that Gu Qingyao seemed to be in a trance.

He hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth. "Miss, are you alright?"

"Oh, nothing." Gu Qingyao shook her head: "Xiao Ze … Do you think that's what marriage is all about? "

"Miss?" Xiao Ze was startled.

Gu Qingyao seemed to have recovered from her stupor as she shook her head and laughed bitterly: "Forget it, it's nothing."
