Servants were working in the yard and passing by. They heard everything Fang Hua said.
Zhao Huimin’s face turned red with anger when she looked at the surrounding servant’s eyes sweeping over.
Fang Hua looked at Zhao Huimin’s reaction with satisfaction. She was unhappy and wanted to vent her anger on someone. Zhao Huimin brought this upon herself, “You have a big face. Your son doesn’t even live here anymore, yet you still insist on staying here? You just can’t let go of your identity as Mrs Gu, aren’t you? In this circle who else doesn’t know what’s wrong with you as Mrs Gu? You still call yourself my mother-in-law here? That depends on whether Gu Zhilin would recognize you as his mom!”
After saying that, Fang Hua turned around and walked away with pride. Zhao Huimin was left on the spot, she so angry that her liver hurt.
…
Gu Zhiqian was a man of his word. The next morning, as expected, he came to find Guan Meiyi to register their marriage.
However, Guan Meiyi was hesitant, “We can’t register now.”
“Guan Meiyi, do you want to regret it?”
“Of course not.” Guan Meiyi shook her head, and then her face turned pale, “But, my registration book is still in the Guan family. My father kept it to prevent my divorce from He Zhenxuan. Now, if I want to marry you, I have to go back to the Guan family to get my registration book. But I don’t want to go back.”
Guan Meiyi was completely disappointed with Guan Jianlin as a father. She hadn’t contacted Guan Jianlin for a long time, and all the calls from Guan Jianlin were rejected. She wanted to leave the Guan family, but her thought was unrealistic.
Now that He Zhenxuan was dead, she did not need to divorce He Zhenxuan to marry Gu Zhiqian. However, no matter what, she had to get her registration book.
Guan Meiyi bought her property because she wanted to move her registration book from the housekeeper. However, she got something to do, so she had to put it off.
After he heard that, Gu Zhiqian reached out and scratched Guan Meiyi’s soft hair. “I’ll go back with you.”
Guan Meiyi looked up at Gu Zhiqian. She still remembered that when she and Gu Zhiqian were pretending to be a couple, Guan Jianlin had looked for Gu Zhiqian. Gu Zhiqian warned her after that.
Now that she was going to marry Gu Zhiqian, she wondered what kind of face Guan Jianlin would have.
Gu Zhiqian had a rough idea of what was going to happen when he saw the hesitation in Guan Meiyi’s eyes. He said gently, “Don’t worry, I’m marrying you. It has nothing to do with other things and other people. I just want us to be well. I’ll go back with you. No matter what, he’s your father. He has to know about our marriage.”
Gu Zhiqian’s words made Guan Meiyi feel at ease and she nodded. Gu Zhiqian was right. She had to tell about her marriage to Guan Jianlin. Otherwise, she didn’t know what he would do.
Guan Meiyi called the Guan family in advance and mentioned that she would go back to get her registration book. Then, she followed Gu Zhiqian to the Guan family.
The two of them arrived at the Guan family home. As soon as they entered, they saw Guan Jianlin waiting for them on the sofa in the living room.
Guan Meiyi couldn’t remember how long it had been since she last stepped into this home. The last time was when she was beaten up by He Zhenxuan. When she came back to tell Guan Jianlin that she wanted a divorce, she was reprimanded by Guan Jianlin. After that, he sent her back to the He family home mercilessly.
From that moment on, Guan Meiyi was disappointed with this father completely. It was also from that moment she realized that in this world, she was the only one who could decide her fate.
