Chapter 379: Zhou Yan’s Heart Is Cold
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Even if I, Zhou Yan, leave the Zhou family, I still represent the Zhou family’s face. Moreover, my father spent a lot of effort to suppress the so-called rumors back then. Now that we’re getting a divorce, it’s completely letting him down. Therefore, there are too many reasons why we can’t get a divorce.”
Zhou Yan’s gaze was firmer than anyone else’s. She looked in Gu Man’s direction and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
“If I were your father, I would rather give up my pride to let my daughter live.”
At this point, she paused. She seemed to recall Elder Zhou’s mercenary look. It might really be hard to say. Back then, there might have been some relationship with his daughter, but whether there was still any now was uncertain.
“However, if Miss Zhou has a reason why I can’t divorce you, I naturally won’t force you. It’s just that this difficulty…”
At the thought of this, Gu Man reached out to the tissue on the dining table and casually took out a piece. She placed the paper on the table and gently slid her fingertips across the tissue. She had clearly used some strength, but for some reason, the tissue did not break at all.
After writing, Gu Man gently raised her fingertips. The tissue that had been unfolded just now turned into a small wrapped square in the blink of an eye. She handed the white paper to Zhou Yan.
…..
“This small square can help protect you once. If you decide to get a divorce in the future, you can get Zhen Rong to contact me.”
Zhou Yan looked at the paper towel that was folded into small squares and subconsciously held it in her palm. By the time she reacted again, Gu Man had already bade farewell and left the private room. For a moment, only Zhou Yan and Zhen Rong were left in the private room.
Zhen Rong looked at the small square in Zhou Yan’s hand and was slightly dissatisfied.
“Mom, are you really going to divorce Dad? Didn’t Dad explain it clearly back then? It’s just business needs. I don’t think it’s a big problem. Besides, don’t you know what kind of person he is?”
Zhen Rong was even angrier because in his heart, he felt that Zhou Yan had believed Gu Man’s words.
The couple had been cooperative in front of Zhen Rong, so Zhen Rong was the one who did not believe that the two of them would separate the most.
Moreover, his family was complete. Why did she have to listen to the slander of outsiders and cause their family to break?
Although he was grateful to Gu Man, this was not child’s play. She was doing something to destroy someone else’s family and Zhen Rong did not flare up at her because she had saved his life.
“This is between us adults. It has nothing to do with a child like you.”
“Mom, are you really planning to divorce Dad?”
Zhen Rong’s expression instantly darkened. He didn’t understand. At that time, his father had clearly sworn repeatedly. Moreover, Mom and his father had been together for more than ten years, but she couldn’t even withstand a few words from an outsider.
He only felt a sense of desolation in his heart, but more than that, he felt that it wasn’t worth it for his father.
“You said it so nicely just now. You definitely won’t get a divorce. In fact, it’s only because there are outsiders around. Have you been wanting a divorce for a long time and don’t want to stay in this family anymore, right?”
Zhou Yan’s thoughts were already mixed because of Gu Man’s words. Now that she heard her son’s question, the anger in her heart rose. It was almost as if she lost control and went to Zhen Rong and slapped him hard.
“Are you questioning me? It’s better to believe in such things than not. You’re focused on protecting your father. Don’t you think about my situation?”
Zhen Rong covered his face in disbelief. His parents had never hit him, but now, because of his words, Zhou Yan looked at him coldly.
“I don’t understand. You two clearly have a good relationship, so why do you want a divorce? Is it because of those illusory things? But have you ever cared about my feelings?”
Zhen Rong suddenly took a deep breath. He could clearly be a happy child with a happy family. Why did he have to face this?
“Zhen Rong, don’t forget that your illness was caused by these illusory things, and Miss Gu is your savior!”
