Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Snatch Him Back

Su Meixi was taken aback for a moment, “Wasn’t it because of you that your dad sold it to our hospital?”

Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but widen her eyes, “How could it be because of me? I’m just a college student, even if my dad wanted to save my face, the other senior executives of his company wouldn’t agree, and the largest shareholder of his company is the Gu Group.”

Su Meixi was startled again.

In the background, Gu Wei had also solved quite a few problems for her.

Zhou Yuan continued, “Sister Su, I think Second Young Mr. Gu is pretty good, nice and handsome, and he treats you well too. Maybe he didn’t reveal his identity to you at first because he really thought love was only between two people, and there was no need for that.”

“Really?” she asked, lost in thought.

...

“Yes,” Zhou Yuan said. As the car stopped again at the entrance of the Gu Family’s residence, she excitedly said, “Sister Su, let’s get off and win back your man!”

Su Meixi felt a mess inside, she followed Zhou Yuan out of the car.

The guard at the gate asked as soon as he saw someone approaching, “Who are you looking for?”

Zhou Yuan spoke loudly, “We’re looking for Mrs. Qiu.”

“Do you have an appointment?”

“No, just tell her we are…”

At that moment, Su Meixi suddenly covered Zhou Yuan’s mouth and pulled her back toward the car.

By the car, she finally let go of Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan asked in confusion, “Sister Su, why didn’t you let me speak?”

“Zhou Yuan, let’s go,” Su Meixi said.

“Why? We haven’t even argued yet.”

“Some other time, I… I’m not sure right now.”

“Sister Su, if you really like Second Young Mr. Gu, then you can’t back down, think about the love between you two.”

Love?

Su Meixi laughed to herself inwardly.

In her eyes, love was the most unreliable thing.

Many couples start out because of love. But many walk their separate ways as time goes by.

Just like her parents, who also started out head over heels in love, but they began to argue after only a few years.

People could marry for the sake of benefits, but not for love.

Her expression dim, she pulled Zhou Yuan along, “Let’s go.”

Zhou Yuan saw her expression was off and didn’t insist, only looking at her with sympathy.

…

It was 9 p.m.

Su Meixi returned to the old house.

There was no property management in this area, and the hallway light was broken and had not been fixed in time, leaving everything pitch-black.

She used the flashlight on her phone to go upstairs.

Just as she reached her front door, she saw a figure standing there and got scared.

“Ah Xi, it’s me!” It was Gu Wei’s voice.

Su Meixi shone the flashlight, and indeed it was Gu Wei.

He did not know how long he had been waiting there, hunched over, so she didn’t recognize him at first.

Seeing him, Su Meixi’s feelings were very complicated.

There was resentment, with a slight excitement.

In fact, she had been looking forward to seeing him these past few days, but the voice inside her head kept telling her: she could not see him.

He was poison, arsenic, a dazzling, tender man-eating flower on the outside.

“What are you doing here?” Su Meixi asked.

“Ah Xi, let’s talk,” Gu Wei pleaded sincerely in his eyes.

Su Meixi did not refuse, she unlocked the door and let him in.

Inside, she pointed to the old wooden sofa her grandfather had left behind, “Sit.”

Gu Wei sat down.

Su Meixi got him a bottle of mineral water, then moved a stool and sat in front of him.

For a while, both were silent.

It was Su Meixi who spoke first, “Gu Wei, I went to your real home this evening.”

“I know,” Gu Wei said.

The butler had sent him the video of her showing up at the door.

“Your mother’s secretary also found me and brought a divorce agreement, I signed it,” Su Meixi said.

“Do you really want to be so ruthless?” Gu Wei asked, “Won’t you give me some time?”

“I did think about it, but after going to your house, I realized I could not, unless I could exchange this house for a large estate like yours.”

But even if she worked all her life, she could not exchange it for such a large estate.

Gu Wei said, “But I am still my mother’s child, as long as I insist, she will compromise eventually, just like when I joined the army, she accepted it in the end.”

“It’s different, I don’t want to be the bad person, I don’t want to affect your relationship with your mother. Your mother is a pitiable person, she lost her husband, and her son doesn’t listen to her, she’ll take it out on me if she’s ever unhappy in the future, she’ll try to find ways to make things difficult for me, I don’t want that life, nor do I want to tolerate her. So, let’s still get a divorce.”@@novelbin@@

Gu Wei was silent for a while, then asked, “So, you’ve thought it through?”

“Yes, I’ve made up my mind!”

She was very decisive.

“Okay, I understand,” Gu Wei said.

After speaking, he slowly stood up, then walked over to Su Meixi, “Can I hug you one more time?”

Su Meixi stood up and they embraced each other.

The familiar warmth, the broad chest, they hadn’t yet come to actual skin-to-skin contact, and now they were about to part ways.

Well, it was better this way, better before sinking too deep.

After a long time, Gu Wei finally let her go and said, “Ah Xi, take care.”

“You too,” Su Meixi said.

It was strange, she had made up her mind, but why did she feel like her soul had been emptied when he turned around? It seemed like she lost something very, very precious.

He walked out with big strides.

The moment the door closed, she suddenly burst into tears.

…

When Gu Cheng found Gu Wei, it was already midnight.

Gu Wei was lying passed out in a pavilion on the mountain, found by patrolling police who then notified Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng looked at the drunk Gu Wei.

His tall figure curled up, he seemed very vulnerable, with five or six bottles strewn haphazardly around him.

Gu Cheng patted him, then softly called out, “Gu Wei.”

Gu Wei opened his eyes, saw his brother, and suddenly smiled. After smiling, he started crying, “Brother, she said she never had feelings for me, and… and she signed the divorce agreement.”

Gu Cheng tried to comfort him, “She can’t accept it for the moment, she feels deceived, and with her pride, she doesn’t want to be looked down upon as a gold digger. But you can’t be confused, if you really like her, then keep on.”

Gu Wei shook his head through tears.

“But she’s right, if I don’t let her go, then mother will always make things difficult for her, why should I make her suffer?”

His line of work wouldn’t allow him to be at home often; he would leave her alone to face his mother.

Gu Cheng’s heart wrenched.

Love in this world is such that one would willingly live or die for it.

It made Gu Wei, who had only ever been used to blood and sweat, not tears, cry like a 150-pound child.

“Gu Wei, brother will take you home.”
