She couldn’t believe it. An adult resorting to threatening a 19-year-old classmate, it was absolutely disgraceful. All she did was state the truth.
“Yao Rong, could you buy me a bottle of Coke? I’m thirsty,” Gu Chuyan spoke, intending to distract her.
“I…” She wanted to refuse, fearing that Gu Chuyan would be bullied in her absence, but seeing her earnest gaze, she could only concede and head out with her purse.
After Yao Rong departed, Gu Chuyan sat quietly, picking up her chopsticks and placing them neatly on the table.
She got up and went to the counter, borrowed a pen and a piece of paper, returned to her seat, and wrote, “Severance of Relations Agreement” on it.
After quickly scribbling her message and signing it, she slid the paper across to him and softly said, “Mr. Gu, let’s sever our relations.”
‘…?” Gu Yan was dumbfounded, clearly unprepared for her to make such a move.
He had just received a call that Gu Miaoting had been beaten up. He happened to be passing by when he saw Chuyan eating here and came in to get to the bottom of things. However, he had been too impulsive and had actually hit her! But she wanted to sever ties with him.
“Ever since my brother disappeared three years ago, I’ve felt redundant in the Gu family. I’ve merely been an obstacle to you.”
“You always defend Aunt Zhen and protect Miaoting.” Curtly laughing, her heart ached at her own words: “But you never thought to protect me.”
“Every time something happens, you think of Miaoting first! You believe I’m the worst of the lot, that I do all the bad things! I get blamed and punished whether it’s my fault or not.”
“I got bullied at school. They knew full well my father is a deputy director, a high ranking official! Yet, they let people oppress me. Never once did they attend my parent-teacher meetings, but they would frequent Miaoting’s.”
“She needs money, you give! But I never had… I had to work, I had to pick up trash, I had to wash dishes!” She spoke with a laugh, previously she would have felt wronged, but now she could say it while laughing.
“If you have any conscience left, let me go! Stop tormenting me! Sign it, and we’ll settle up, not owing each other anything. If you still have a shred of decency left, it’d be great if you could arrange for someone to find my brother…
to see if he’s alive.”
With that, she took Gu Yan’s hand and placed the pen in it.
Mr. Xi and Gu Yan stood there speechlessly, watching her sobbing. They, as elders, were just…
“Once it’s signed, I’ll personally submit it to the court. Rest assured, I’ve never spoken about you being my father in public, so you won’t have to worry that I’ll become your joke.”
Gu Yan was shaking with anger. This was not the outcome he was hoping for!
“Thud.” He slammed the pen down onto the table. For some unknown reason, he was completely taken aback!
Being in a position of power, he had always thought his actions were on point. He had hit her, scolded her, and ignored her, all for her own good! However, she was accusing him, saying he was wrong.
“Gu Chuyan, you think just because you’ve grown wings, you’re ready to fly? Let me tell you, I, Gu Yan, can’t afford to lose face.” He reached out, grabbed the paper, tore it up forcefully, and flung it at her.
Mr. Xi’s lips moved, wanting to say something, but ultimately, he remained silent.
Gu Yan put his hand on the wheel and left under his own steam!
“Miss Gu, don’t worry about old Gu, he’s just stressed out recently! Hence his irrational behavior,” Mr. Xi said, reaching out with a tissue for her..
