Chapter 513: Abandoned

Turning to Gu Daoshan, Ni Buwei bowed and sighed, "I apologise for this matter on behalf of my nephew. I suggest that we put this matter to an end. Otherwise, it will only cause more harm if it blows up. At the same time, I promise that I will give you compensation for your mental damage."

Ni Buwei was truly an old fox that knew how to be humble when needed, despite being his position.

But truth be told, those standing on the pyramid were more like ordinary people since they were more experienced. Thus, they knew how to be low-profiled and make use of people's hearts to perfectly resolve things.

Since Gu Daoshan had no idea of Ni Buwei's origin, he unhappily said, "Forget the compensation. For something like this to take place, both parties are to be blamed. As the saying goes, it takes two hands to clap. For such an embarrassing incident to take place, we don't have the face to stay here as well, so we will take our leave first!"

Clearly, Ni Buwei was left surprised by Gu Daoshan's words and believed that this middle-aged man truly had a backbone.

Ni Buwei had long noticed Su Tao's presence, to which he helplessly looked at the latter. "Why am I seeing you again?"

"It seems like we're pretty fated!" Su Tao smiled.

Patting Su Tao's shoulder, Ni Buwei replied, "It's also differentiated between good and bad. I hope that we won't be in such an awkward position when we meet next time!"

Su Tao inwardly sighed. Ni Buwei had already shown up and even behaved so humbly, so this matter could only be tactfully resolved. After all, no one was in a position to pursue this matter.

When this matter came to an end, and they got in the car, Yuan Cui kept fidgeting in the vehicle due to the drug, which made Gu Daoshan furrow his brows.

"What do you intend to do?" Zhang Fen asked upon seeing Du Bing's darkened expression.

"Divorce!" Du Bing clenched his fists as he tried his best to suppress his rage. "Truth be told, I'm already exhausted from her chaotic lifestyle. I found condoms in her purse several times, but she managed to cover them up and lied to me that her friends were pranking her."

"Actually, your mom has actually secretly asked around why Yuan Cui wasn't able to get pregnant many years ago. It turns out that she had done many abortions when she was young, so it's not easy for her to get pregnant." Zhang Fen wryly smiled.

"You guys actually hid it from me!" Du Bing's face suddenly turned green from another discovery.

"We hid it from you because we wanted to protect your marriage!" Zhang Fen sighed. "As elders, no one wants to see our junior breaking up. Thus, we hid it from you after seeing the relationship between the two of you."

Feeling agitated, Du Bing roared, "Divorce! When we return, I will get the divorce procedure done!"

As Yuan Cui laid on the backseat, she could hear the conversation between Du Bing and Zhang Fen, even if the two of them suppressed their voices. All of a sudden, she bounced up and flipped out, "Sure, but you are leaving the marriage with nothing!"

"You're the one cheating on me, so why am I leaving with nothing?" Du Bing retaliated.

"Am I not the one managing the house? With that pitiful salary of yours, what can you do? You can only rely on your somewhat wealthy parents to provide you with a house." Yuan Cui sneered.

"The house was purchased by my parents, and I won't give it to you!" Du Bing decisively refused.

Sneering in disdain, Yuan Cui replied, "I'm not a pushover. If you don't promise me, then I will ruin your life!"

Evidently, Yuan Cui went all out bitchy on a life and death struggle.

She's using a retreating tactic to make an advance. She naturally didn't want to divorce. Although Du Bing wasn't rich, he still gave her a stable life. The moment she divorces, her worth would immediately fall, and she didn't want such a tragedy to take place on her.

All of a sudden, three slaps resounded. Gu Rushan finally couldn't hold it back and she slapped Yuan Cui, instantly causing the latter to be dumbfounded.

"Just promise her." Gu Rushan coldly replied. "Calculate how much you will lose if you leave the marriage with nothing. I'll pay you back in the future."

Du Bing clearly never expected that Gu Rushan would say those words, which left him instantly speechless.

"Money can be earned again, but with such a wife, you can only live a cowardly life and achieve nothing." Gu Rushan continued.

Gu Rushan was filled with hatred for Yuan Cui. Ni Jingqiu was her benefactor, and Yuan Cui actually made her so embarrassed before her benefactor.

Furthermore, she also knew that Yuan Cui must have been the one behind why her parents were making things difficult for her by inciting a conflict.

It took Yuan Cui a long time for her to recover from the shock, and due to the pain, the aphrodisiac's effect had also dissipated a little.

She instantly realised her current situation. Practically everyone in this car was against her, and even her husband was standing in an opposite stance. Thus, she couldn't bring up any arrogance at this moment.

It feels terrible to be abandoned by everyone!

She clearly never expected that her trip to Beijing would end in this manner. Because of her guilt, she actually kept quiet, even after Gu Rushan slapped her!

She was still bearing hope that they could forgive her if she lowered her own position and admitted her faults.

When they returned, Du Bing rushed into the room in a rage and threw out Yuan Cui's luggage along with her clothes.

"What are you doing?!" Yuan Cui roared.

"Get lost! I don't want to see you anymore!" Du Bing coldly replied.

Yuan Cui clearly never expected that the usually mild Du Bing would be so heartless, so she threatened, "Du Bing, remember what you did today! I definitely won't let you off!"

"Bye, and we won't meet again!" Du Bing replied and continued, "When I return, I will notify a lawyer to process our divorce."

Before Yuan Cui could respond, Du Bing pushed her out. But when she tried to charge over and stop Du Bing, the door was slammed on her face and her nose started to bleed.

Although it's summer now, the night was still cold, not to mention that Yuan Cui was under the influence of drugs. Thus, she felt exceedingly grieved for being thrown out of the door.

But she deserved it!

"Why don't we let her sleep for a night?" Zhang Fen said with compassion.

"No need! The more I look at her, the more I feel disgusted!" Du Bing left a sentence in rage and locked himself in the room.

Letting out a weak sigh, Gu Rushan turned to her mother. "Mom, you have to watch out for the person that you're feeling compassion for. If you make her stay despite knowing that she's a poisonous snake, won't you do more harm than good?"

Nodding her head, Zhang Fen replied, "Your words make sense!"

Yuan Cui had already suffered once out of her greed, and they had already helped her once. But in the end, she did not change her ways and still got in contact with Zhen Difei. That woman was beyond any hope!

Suddenly, Zhang Fen held onto Gu Rushan's hand and apologised, "I suddenly figured it all out! You father and I weren't good with our attitude towards you. We should've respected your decision. But on our way here, we were brainwashed by Yuan Cui, since you know that she's in the insurance industry."

Touched by her mother's apology, Gu Rushan smiled. "Mom, don't worry about it. Why would I blame you? Since we've already written the contract, then I will abide by it! If I can't reach the requirement, then I will return and spend my life peacefully."

Helplessly shaking her head, Zhang Fen hesitated for a long time before she spoke again, "I never expected that Su Tao would be so skilled despite his young age. As a boyfriend, he does have a sense of security."

But despite her words, Gu Rushan knew that her mother was trying to probe her, which she bitterly smiled. "So what? It has nothing to do with me. I already told you that we're just neighbours, and you've also seen that woman today. She should be his girlfriend, and she's gorgeous!"

"She does look quite beautiful, but she definitely pales in comparison to my daughter!" Zhang Fen caressed Gu Rushan's hair and smiled. "Actually, age isn't important. It's important if he can protect you. Su Tao might be young, but he's a responsible person. From how he helped to resolve our conflict and misunderstandings, I can tell that he has a high EQ."

"Mom, what's with your sudden change?" Gu Rushan bitterly smiled.

"People change, and we can understand someone deeper with more interaction. A mother knows her daughter the best. Although your relationship was fake, I can tell that you have already fallen for him." It was hard for Zhang Fen to meet her daughter, so she decided to go deeper into the conversation.

"Mom, all my focus is on my work, and I really don't have the time to bother about relationships!" Gu Rushan replied with guilt.

"There aren't many good men, and you have to fight for him if you find one!" Zhang Fen knew that her daughter had her own views, so she could only remind her daughter.

"This is a society where men are more powerful than women. You don't have to treat yourself too harshly because even if a woman is powerful, she can't change the fate that she's destined to marry."

Suddenly, Gu Rushan stood up and massaged her mother's shoulders. "I know! If I've really met my destined one, I will definitely not hesitate and pursue him!"

Caressing her daughter's hand, Zhang Fen softly replied, "Your dad and I will be returning tomorrow!"

"So soon?" Gu Rushan was shocked by the sudden declaration. "But I've not brought the two of you around!"

Shaking her head, Zhang Fen smiled. "We're only here to look at you, and we're reassured to see you living your life so fully."

As Gu Rushan felt her nose turning sour, she moved over and kissed Zhang Fen's cheeks.

"Mom, don't worry about me. I will definitely do my best!"

At the same time, Su Tao and Cai Yan also returned to the rented apartment.

After briefly entering her room, Cai Yan came out with a pile of clothes in her hands. "I'll shower first!"

As he pretended to mess around with the television's remote control, Su Tao casually acknowledged.

When the door was shut, Su Tao uneasily started to rub his hands together.

"So… should I go for it?"

As splashing noises started to resound, it fluctuated around his ears with a rhythm. When Su Tao walked over to the door, he tried to open the door through the handle, but he returned in disappointment, since Cai Yan had locked it.

Cai Yan showered for a long time, which Su Tao's heart started getting more restless. When the door was finally open, Cai Yan walked out with a yellow towel wrapped around her hair and she nudged her lips to Su Tao. "The temperature is perfect. Go and shower!"

Letting out a cough, Su Tao went to his room to retrieve his clothes. But before he entered the bathroom, he gave a wink to Cai Yan.

Frowning her brows, Cai Yan muttered, "What a nutjob!"
