Chapter 34: Gu Wennuan Will Help Me

Page 1 of 3

Tang Xi arrived at Song Xining’s place.

Song Xining had probably grown tired of poisoning herself with her own cooking and had ordered takeout.

After hearing Tang Xi recount the whole story, she immediately flew into a furious tirade.

Every swear word she had ever learned in her life was spent on Gu Yu.

“If Gu Yu really loses his mind, he might drag you down with him.” Tang Xi had already thought it through on the way there. She had savings, and if Song Xining truly lost her job because of this, Tang Xi could support her.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Does he think the airline belongs to his family? If he wants me gone, do I just leave?” Song Xining comforted her friend. “Even if I do lose my job, with looks like mine, finding another suitable one will be a piece of cake.”

Song Xining truly had the capital for such confidence. She was tall and slender, standing nearly five feet nine, with a radiant and alluring face. Wherever she stood, she became the center of attention.

Tang Xi was deeply moved. She clasped her friend’s hand, her eyes growing hot. “A-Ning, I suspect Feng may be Gu Yu’s biological son.”

“What?” Song Xining was stunned. “The two of them are siblings listed on the same household registry. If that got out, it would be incest.”

“That’s why Gu Yu has been hiding it. He lied to me and said Gu Wennuan had the child in Harbor City with a married man.”

Thinking back now, the male lead in the story he had invented had actually been Gu Yu himself. He had merely given the man a Harbor City background.

The people of Harbor City: What terrible luck!

“So what are you going to do?”

Tang Xi thought for a moment. “I want to investigate the five years Gu Wennuan spent in Harbor City. If the child is Gu Yu’s, there’s no way he would have ignored them for five whole years.”

“Harbor City? That’s a bit beyond my expertise.” Song Xining had flown the Beijing–Harbor City route only two years ago, and she genuinely could not think of anyone who could help with this.

“Mr. Zhou,” Tang Xi said. “I want to ask Mr. Zhou for help.”

Given Zhou Jingchuan’s status and connections in Harbor City, finding out about Gu Wennuan’s past would not be difficult.

It was just that she already owed Zhou Jingchuan a favor, and she felt embarrassed asking him for another.

“If that child really is Gu Yu’s, then he was born before your marriage.” Song Xining scratched her head. “Will that help you in the divorce proceedings?”

The law did not forbid men and women from having children before marriage.

“That’s why I need to investigate Gu Wennuan. If I can prove that Gu Yu has been secretly supporting and caring for her and the child all these years, then that would constitute wrongdoing on his part. Of course, to improve my chances, I also need concrete evidence that Gu Yu cheated on me with Gu Wennuan during our marriage—and I need to find a good lawyer who can handle the divorce.”

She knew Gu Yu. He would never agree to divorce her.

The Seamist Group had only recently gone public and could not withstand much upheaval. Besides, for all these years, Gu Yu had cultivated the public image of a husband who adored his wife without limit. If it came out that he was divorcing his beloved wife while carrying on an affair with his own sister, it would be a devastating blow to both him and the company.

So no matter what, he would never agree to a divorce. He would even do everything in his power to obstruct her.

“Getting evidence that Gu Yu cheated on you might be difficult, though.” Gu Yu was an exceptionally shrewd man. At a time like this, he certainly would not let Tang Xi catch him again. He would be extremely cautious.

Tang Xi smiled, her tone filled with certainty. “Gu Wennuan will ‘help’ me.”

She had schemed so hard just to take the position of his wife. How could she possibly give up such a rare opportunity?

“Only I can see her posts, and look—she’s showing off her love to me again.” Tang Xi handed over her phone.

Gu Wennuan had just posted an update. She had been injured at the kindergarten, and a bandage covered her forehead, making her look like a pitiful little puppy.

The caption read: “I want kisses. I want cuddles!”

Although Gu Yu did not appear in the picture, Tang Xi still recognized the hand he had deliberately allowed into the frame.

The cuff links on his shirt were ones she had personally chosen.

“What a shameless bitch.” Song Xining was livid. “How can someone in this world have no shame at all?”

Tang Xi did not take it to heart. In truth, Gu Wennuan’s posts could no longer provoke her.

She had only one thought now:

Get divorced as soon as possible.
