The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

PA Wen was not a smooth talker, but every sentence he had spoken touched her heart.

PA Wen’s annual salary exceeded millions although he still paled in comparison with Gu Juexi. If she wanted money, she could have pursued Lu Qichuan relentlessly. The Lu family was a very rich family after all.

However, certain things were more important than money.

But of course, money had to be sufficient.

Both she and Wen Tao were not big spenders. Enough money for expenses and true hearts; these were the criteria for true love, and the most optimal conditions for marriage.

“If you still can’t appease our mothers, our relationship could be called off,” Xiao Yaojing reminded. PA Wen was about to say something when Xiao Yaojing stood up and walked over. “Or we could have a shotgun wedding. They cannot object to our marriage then.”

PA Wen choked on his drink and coughed in surprise.

“It’s great how shocked you are.” Xiao Yaojing’s mood lifted. She loved teasing him.

PA Wen wiped off the water droplets on his face and smirked. ‘Wait and see what happens on our wedding night. It’s never too late for revenge.’

PA Wen made a decision there and then.

Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei arrived at Professor Zhou’s residence to an elderly couple. Professor Zhou’s son and daughter-in-law were staying overseas and rarely returned.

“Boss, little Yezi is here.” Professor Zhou was reemployed by the university after his retirement age. His age had exceeded seventy and although his hair had turned white, he remained alert and full of energy.

“Oh, little Yezi.” Professor Zhou’s boss was younger by a few years and he looked energetic as well.

“Professor, Madam Zhou.” Ye Yuwei greeted them politely and lowered her head to look at her son.

“Hello, Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou,” Ye Xicheng greeted with the manners of a gentleman.

“Hello, Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou,” Xixi murmured politely, following her brother’s example.

“So these are your children,” Madam Zhou exclaimed with a look of admiration.

“CEO Gu, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you.” Prof. Zhou looked at the man standing next to Ye Yuwei and extended his hand.

Gu Juexi put his daughter down and held the professor’s hand in a firm handshake. “Prof. Zhou is too modest, your reputation has traveled far and wide.”

Perhaps because this man had helped Ye Yuwei before, Gu Juexi’s behavior towards him was respectable.

“You didn’t have to bring gifts.” Madam Zhou glared jokingly at Ye Yuwei.

“Gu Juexi brought these to thank Prof. Zhou and Madam Zhou for taking care of me all those years ago.” Ye Yuwei glanced at Gu Juexi.

“CEO Gu is too courteous. If it wasn’t for her own insistence on getting married to CEO Gu, her achievements would have been greater,” Prof. Zhou stated bluntly.

Gu Juexi picked up on Prof. Zhou’s meaning behind his words, even though he begged to differ.

Madam Zhou sensed something was amiss hence she hurriedly chimed in, “Don’t just stand there. Come in and have a seat. I’m preparing dinner.”

Madam Zhou brought out snacks that seemed to be specially bought for this occasion as there were no children living with her.

Gu Juexi followed Prof. Zhou into the study room to play Chinese chess. The hobbies of men were beyond their comprehension.

Ye Yuwei entrusted Xixi to Ye Xicheng while she helped Madam Zhou in the kitchen.

“I was worried when Zhou mentioned he asked you to bring Gu Juexi over,” Madam Zhou muttered while picking the leaves off the vegetables.

Seated opposite Madam Zhou, Ye Yuwei grinned at her words.

“I heard some things happened between you and Gu Juexi, so I didn’t let Zhou contact you. But seeing the both of you now, it seems like he treats you well.” Madam Zhou glanced at the study room.
