âHah, now youâre blaming everything on me, donât you feel ashamed? Was it me who made you cheat? Was it me who made you secretly find another woman and even got her pregnant, causing a storm in the city?â Gu Qiaomei seemed to explode, ready to reveal all the grievances she had suffered over the years, âDonât you forget, when you married me, what did you say to me? You said you would only love me in this lifetime and never do anything to betray me. I believed you, and I insisted my brother invest in you. My brother gave you the money that made you rich, and in the blink of an eye, youâre keeping another woman behind my back!â
âYouâre trying to put everything on me now, who would believe that if you say it? Do you think Chi Enen will believe you by acting like this?â
âShe probably knows better than anyone what kind of person you are, so, you donât need to pretend like this. Nobody is going to watch!â
Chi Jianguoâs face turned from green to white to purple, a riot of colours that looked extremely comical as she exposed all his dark thoughts.
His gloomy face once again flashed with infuriated embarrassment.
He raised his hand and slapped Gu Qiaomei across the face again, âCheap person!â
Gu Qiaomeiâs hair became a disheveled mess from the slap. She, who had lived a life of luxury and dignity, seldom experienced such humiliation. Her eyes bloodshot, she glared fiercely at Chi Jianguo, and cursed through clenched teeth, âIâm the cheap person? Ha! Yes, Iâm the cheap person. If I wasnât, I would have divorced you long ago. Chi Jianguo, donât think for a second I donât know youâre still keeping another woman outside! Let me tell you, donât push me too far, if you do, Iâll divorce you right now, and Iâll say whatever I need to say to the media.â
The company is already in a precarious situation, and if a divorce scandal breaks out at this time, he would truly be finished. Chi Jianguo wished he could strangle her, yet he couldnât help but take a step back, âGo ahead and divorce, Iâd like to see how youâll support that useless trash of a daughter youâve got overseas after you leave.â
By the time he took that step back, Gu Qiaomeiâs heart had completely cooled towards Chi Jianguo.
She had seen through everything. After so many years, her willing heart had died. She pressed her bloodied lips tightly together, stood up, tidied her disheveled hair and clothes, and managed to maintain her last bit of dignity as she said indifferently, âSo it seems you also know that we each had our needs. Youâd better remember that if youâre going to lose your temper, donât do it at home. Iâm not the woman you can lash out at. If you want to vent, go find that university student youâre keeping!â
The servantâs room door in the living room was fitted with a peephole, from which one could see outside.
Chi Ya watched through the peephole, seeing everything that was happening outside, and heard every word exchanged between Chi Jianguo and Gu Qiaomei clearly.
Itâs precisely because she could hear and see everything clearly that she was on the verge of a breakdown.
How did it come to this?
Werenât her parents always respectful and loving towards each other? Since when did her father keep a university student outside? And in her fatherâs eyes, was she just trash? Only good for spoiling things?
Is this still her home, her parents?
Chi Ya was struck to the core, completely dazed.
She stumbled to the side of the bed, clenched her teeth, and took out her mobile phone from her bag, searching the Internet for news.
ââChi Corporation about to change hands.
ââChi Corporation being acquired.
She connected this with the conversation she had heard before and suddenly understoodâChi Enen!
