Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 426: Chapter 427: Helpless Marriage

Wen Xiaochu saw Xia Yangyang in such emotional distress and pain, yet she was utterly helpless.

There were too many things in this world that one could do nothing about.

Just like her own marriage, or Xia Yangyang’s marriage.

The grudges of the elders seemed to have nothing to do with Gu Qichen.

But after all, he was part of the Gu Family, raised and dearly loved by Gu Mingzhu herself.

Asking Xia Yangyang to let go of her innermost insecurities and continue to be with Gu Qichen seemed practically impossible.

All Wen Xiaochu could do was stay by her side, despite not knowing how to comfort her.

Xia Yangyang had stayed in the mansion for a few days.

Her mood had calmed down somewhat.

She had come to terms with a few things during this period.

Her relationship with Gu Qichen could best be described as a case of fate bringing two people together but destiny keeping them apart.

If she could not convince herself to continue being his wife without resentment, then she might as well move swiftly to end things.

As for Gu Mingzhu, she had not yet figured out what to do.

But she was determined to find proof and vindicate her mother.

But overturning a case from a decade ago was easier said than done.

Right now, Xia Yangyang wasn’t dwelling on this too much.

Her sole focus was on divorcing Gu Qichen.

Xia Yangyang was clear-headed.

Since the grudge was between her and Gu Mingzhu, Xia Yangyang didn’t want to drag Gu Qichen into it.

Once they were divorced, Xia Yangyang was determined to act as if they were complete strangers.

From then on, there would be no further entanglements.

If Gu Qichen was in pain, then it would serve as the first step in exacting her revenge on Gu Mingzhu.

Xia Yangyang had prepared the divorce agreement.

In the afternoon, Xia Yangyang headed to the Shengyuan Building.

While passing through the secretary department, everyone respectfully addressed her as “Madam President”.

In the past, she’d felt somewhat embarrassed to hear the title, but now it seemed like cruel irony.

Fang Zhengdong looked at Xia Yangyang as if she was his savior.

“Miss Xia, thank goodness you’re here,” he pleaded. “President Gu has practically turned Shengyuan into an iceberg these past few days. Everyone in the secretary department has been affected. I can hardly hold on any longer. Please go and talk to him, or we’ll all end up resigning.”

Fang Zhengdong intentionally exaggerated the situation.

Yet, Gu Qichen’s behavior had indeed been unusually harsh these past few days.

Apart from attending meetings, he hardly spoke a word.

Even during meetings, his mind would occasionally wander.

However, despite being lost in thought, he still managed to multi-task effectively.

When secretary Cinderella was reporting and made a small error, he caught it and lashed out at her, demanding she resign.

Though the mistake wasn’t serious, everyone saw the severity of the situation.

With President Gu’s cold and authoritative demeanor, along with his foul mood, hardly anyone dared to get close to him.

However, Fang Zhengdong was delighted to see Xia Yangyang. Given his understanding of Gu Qichen over the years, he knew the only thing that could cause such a change in him would be an issue with his delicate wife.

No matter what was happening between the couple, now that his young wife was here voluntarily, it might mean she had come for reconciliation.

President Gu would surely soften up and things would clear up soon.

Xia Yangyang handed Fang Zhengdong a document: “I won’t go in. Please deliver this to Gu Qichen for me.”

Fang Zhengdong looked down and was taken aback to see that it was a divorce agreement.

What on earth was happening?!

Plus, asking him to hand over a divorce agreement to the president was like signing his own death warrant!

Who knows, President Gu might channel his anger onto him and have him transferred to South Africa.

Fang Zhengdong hurriedly advised, “Miss Xia, although I don’t know what’s happened, divorce is a serious matter that requires careful consideration. And based on my understanding of the president, I’m certain he won’t sign it..”
