Gu Zhenghong was very surprised that Gu's mother had figured it out and took the initiative to come to him to discuss the divorce. Originally, when he looked at Gu's mother's appearance, he thought it was a good grind, but he didn't expect Gu's mother to be relieved so quickly, which was also an unexpected joy.

Gu Zhenghong brushed his suit, even if there were no wrinkles on it.

"Let's go." He said to his personal lawyer.

In the hall, Gu's mother and Gu Shuhan had already arrived, and they also brought their lawyers. Gu's mother was wearing a cheongsam, her face was plain and beautiful, obviously she had been dressed up with care, and she was not as decadent as Gu's father imagined. Gu's mother sat there quietly like this, although she lost the liveliness of a girl, she had a little more mature charm, which was beyond the reach of Li Ping, who gave birth to a son for him. Father Gu silently made an assessment in his heart.

Since the birth of his son, he has been busy divorcing his wife, how long has it been since he has looked at his wife carefully? In all fairness, Li Ping has the benefits of Li Ping, but in some ways, she is indeed inferior to her own wife.

However, although his wife is good, he always relies on the fact that he has helped him at the beginning, and feels that he is superior to him, no matter how great he has achieved, it seems to be nothing in his wife's eyes, and what she said to him will always be only so cliché, "eat on time", "come back early", at first he listened to the warm heart, and after a long time, he was so poor that he felt bored, as if this was just an essential process in the day, a procedure.

It's Li Ping, who always surprises him repeatedly, and she knows a lot more about external things than her wife. Although his wife Tang Jinxuan provided the original funds for his business, Xu Liping was the woman who helped him grow his business. Besides, Xu Liping also gave birth to a son to him, and this one alone is worth everything.

Thinking of the baby who was still in swaddling clothes, a ball of pink and tender, Gu Zhenghong felt that his heart was so soft that he was a mess, and the balance was completely tilted in favor of Xu Liping's mother and son. He was sorry for his wife, but who let his wife give birth to only one daughter and not be able to carry on the family for him? He can't be blamed for this, he can't let the old Gu family die.

Gu Zhenghong stepped into the hall, only to find that Gu Shuhan was also there, and at this time she was holding Gu's mother's hand and sitting on the side with her. Just now, from Gu Zhenghong's point of view, Gu's mother just blocked Gu Shuhan, plus Gu Zhenghong's attention was mostly on Gu's mother, and he didn't notice Gu Shuhan's storage for a while.

Gu Zhenghong frowned: "Jinxuan, why did you bring Shu Han over?" She's a little kid, what did she do here? ”

"Dad, you and Mom divorced, shouldn't I be there?" Gu Shuhan looked at Gu Zhenghong very calmly, as if he was the one who was making trouble.

"Since you are already married, why don't you stay in your husband's house and teach your husband and children, and run to your mother's house twice in three days, what does it look like?" Gu Zhenghong scolded in a low voice.

"Dad, didn't you teach us to get rid of the shackles of 'feudal shackles'? Since you are going to divorce my mother in order to dissolve your 'arranged marriage', as your daughter, of course, I also have to keep up with the women of the new era, self-reliance, where can I be like those women in the old society, who do not listen to things outside the window and serve my husband and in-laws at home every day? ”

Gu Shuhan has long seen that his father admires the new atmosphere on the surface, but he is the most old-fashioned person on the inside. The so-called progressive culture is just a high-sounding excuse for him to stop his wife and remarry. Soon, though, he couldn't control himself.

"Strong words! A girl's family, if she doesn't study well for a day, she learns some messy things! Gu Zhenghong spared Gu Shuhan and said directly to Gu's mother: "The elders discuss things with each other, how can there be a reason for a junior to listen to on the side, Jin Xuan, do you say?" ”

Gu Zhenghong's words actually have some blame for Gu's mother's lack of strictness in teaching her daughter, if Gu Zhenghong said this in the past, Gu's mother was unwilling to disobey Gu's father's intentions, and it was likely that Gu Shuhan would retreat, but now, since she is going to tear her face with this man, why should she take this man's words as a guideline?

Gu's mother took a sip of tea unhurriedly, unmoved by Gu Zhenghong's words: "Shu Han is my only relative in this world, and there is nothing that Shu Han can't listen to about me." Now that you're here, let's get down to business. If you put it off any longer, I'll think you've repented and don't want to divorce me. ”

Father Gu originally wanted to say something more, but after listening to Gu's mother's last words, he shut up.

Presumably, he was also worried that Gu's mother, who finally agreed to divorce him, would be shaken again.

Gu's mother lowered her eyes, blocking the mocking light in them, this is the man she has been thinking about for half her life......

Gu's mother's lawyer stepped forward and said: "The dowry of 30,000 taels of silver brought by my employer when he got married, as well as the land, title deeds, antiques, and jewelry, are her private property, and in the 20 years of marriage, in addition to taking out 5,000 taels of them as a dowry for her daughter, she invested the remaining 25,000 taels of silver in Mr. Gu's factory. Now Mr. Gu is divorcing my employer, and the property should be divided. What my employer meant was that Mr. Gu would return the full amount of the dowry into gold, and she did not intend to take away bulky items such as antiques and screens, so he asked Mr. Gu to convert this part into gold for her. In addition, she should be given two shops and a steel mill as a reward for all these years of investment. ”

Objected, Mrs. Gu voluntarily handed over the dowry to Mr. Gu to take care of on her behalf, but she did not say that she was making an investment, nor did she sign any agreement. According to the law, Mr. Gu only needs to return Mrs. Gu's dowry, and Mrs. Gu is not qualified to ask Mr. Gu for a shop......"

……

The two of you went back and forth, refuting each other for a long time, and finally, Gu Zhenghong said to Gu's mother: "After all, you have been with me for so many years, you have no merit, and you have hard work, I should indeed give you some compensation." That's it, Jinxuan, I'll give you back your dowry, and besides that, I'll give you two more factories, how about it? ”

"Dare to ask which two factories Mr. Gu plans to give me?" Gu's mother didn't like Gu Zhenghong's kind of gracious tone, did he think she should be grateful? She endured it without having a seizure, but she just wanted to see how shameless the man she once loved could be.

Gu Zhenghong said without thinking: "Just the steel plant and the cement plant, those two factories have potential, and I have invested a lot in the early stage." ”

"Those two loss-making factories? Throw us two hot potatoes as 'compensation', and your abacus is a good one. Gu Mu said coldly. Why didn't she see that this man was such a unprofitable person before.

"I can't say that, although the benefits of those two factories are not very good for the time being, they are still promising, otherwise, how could I have spent a lot of money to buy them in the first place?" When mentioning the property he purchased, Gu Zhenghong immediately became shrewd as if he had changed people. He is a businessman, and naturally knows how to exchange the smallest profit for the maximum profit, even if he has more face now, it is his wife and daughter, he will not let the profit half a step: "The loss is only temporary, if you are good at management, it is not difficult to turn losses into profits." You don't understand these fashionable things, and when the time comes, I will leave Lao Zheng and Gu Jing to continue to manage the factory, and you just have to sit back and wait to collect the money. ”

Of course, in Gu Zhenghong's view, it is not difficult to convince his wife. No matter how financially good his wife is, no matter how virtuous she is to keep the house, she is just a woman's family, what do you know about things outside? It's not what he says, it's what it is.

Gu's mother showed an extremely sarcastic smile, when did her husband become so good at attacking and calculating in front of her? Gu Zhenghong's estrangement and centrifugation are not without warning, and he only hates her now that he really realizes this.

Gu Zhenghong saw that Gu's mother didn't speak for a long time, thinking that she was reluctant in her heart, and was about to persuade a few more words, but heard Gu's mother say: "Two factories are two factories, I just hope that after the divorce, you and your one will not disturb our mother and daughter again." I want you to write a letter voluntarily giving up Shu Han's fatherhood, do you agree? ”

He is calculating, and he fights for every inch of profit, but she doesn't want to spend it with him anymore. Although she believes that if she and Gu Zhenghong continue to fight, Gu Zhenghong will give her more compensation for the sake of face. But instead of continuing to entangle with Gu Zhenghong, she would rather not want these things.

"Do we have to get to this point? Even if I divorce you, Shu Han is still my daughter, this is an indelible fact that you and I can't erase. Gu Zhenghong showed a sad expression: "Even if you hate me, hate me, and don't want to have anything to do with me, you have to think about Shu Han." If I sever the father-daughter relationship with Shu Han, what do you let my son-in-law's family think of Shu Han? ”

Gu's mother was moved, and seemed to listen to Gu Zhenghong's words. Gu Shuhan was about to step forward to speak, but Gu's mother grabbed her hand stiffly, and Gu's mother looked at Gu Shuhan's eyes with a hint of pleading-don't say it.

Obviously, she knew very well what Gu Shuhan wanted to say.

Gu's mother straightened the scattered hair on her sideburns, and said to Gu Zhenghong: "That's the case, it's okay." It's just that my daughter will never recognize that woman as her mother, this is absolutely non-negotiable! ”

"This ......" Gu Zhenghong hesitated, but he also understood that this was Gu's mother's last bottom line, and in the end, he compromised and said: "Okay, if you don't want to, I won't let Shu Han call Li Ping's mother at home." However, in terms of name, she will be Li Ping's daughter in the future, which I can't change. ”

After the discussion was settled, the two signed a divorce agreement. This agreement will be sent to the police station for filing, and from then on, there will be no relationship between Gu's mother and Gu Zhenghong.

Although the goal has been achieved, Gu's mother is still very unhappy in her heart, and she can't help but stab Gu Zhenghong a little: "Xu Liping is only a few years older than Shu Han?" It's not a shame that you find such a mother for Shu Han! ”

"It wasn't until I met Li Ping that I understood what it was like to be in love. Love knows no age, you can't understand it now, but I believe that you will be able to understand it one day. Gu Zhenghong said: "Our marriage is over, and it's not you or me who are at fault, but this society and these feudal customs." Jinxuan, we broke up peacefully, although we can't be husband and wife in the future, we can also be friends. ”

It wasn't until the moment of divorce that Gu Zhenghong found out that he was also reluctant to give up his wife. Even if he was divorced, he didn't want to completely cut ties with her.

Gu's mother saw Gu Zhenghong's thoughts, and was choked by Gu Zhenghong's disgust, and said coldly and unfamiliarly: "I'm sorry, I can't do it." I am a woman's family, and I can't afford to climb Mr. Gu, so please don't bother me in the future. Since Mr. Gu has divorced me, please call me Ms. Tang in the future. My maiden name is not something that anyone can call me. Farewell, Mr. Gu, please give me my dowry as much as possible, and transfer the two factories to Shu Han's name. When these things are done, you can welcome your lover and illegitimate child through the door. ”

After speaking, Gu's mother pulled Gu Shuhan's head and walked out of the gate of the Gu family without looking back.

On the way, Gu's mother said to Gu Shuhan: "I originally wanted you to dissociate yourself from that family, but your father, who is not a thing, said something right. If you cut off the relationship with him, I am afraid that your husband's family will look down on you in the future. If you are still his daughter, even if it is for the sake of face, he can't watch you being bullied by the Qin family. Gu's mother was obviously clear about the character of the Qin family, so she naturally had to plan more for her daughter: "It's also strange to my mother, I didn't find out at that time that my mother-in-law was such a character, otherwise, my mother would never agree to this family business." However, the matter has come to this, you and your son-in-law have a good life again, and you still have to live a good life in the future. Listen to the mother, don't get into trouble with your father. If you can't get used to them in the future, you can just go back to have a scene during the New Year's holidays, and Xu Liping is not happy to see you from time to time. ”

Gu Shuhan listened quietly to Gu's mother before saying, "Mom, Qin Zhihong, like Mr. Gu, found a female student who stayed abroad outside, and now he is divorced from me." I didn't say it in front of Mr. Gu just now, because I didn't want outsiders to see the joke. Now, I don't want to hide it from you, Qin Zhihong, he has moved outside to live with that female student for a few months. ”

Thinking with his toes, Gu Shuhan could think of Gu Zhenghong's reaction after knowing about this matter, it was nothing more than coming forward to teach Qin Zhihong a lesson, and then asking himself to swallow his anger and continue to live with Qin Zhihong. In order to appease Qin Zhihong, he may also acquiesce to Qin Zhihong to continue to support his lover, as long as he is still his nominal wife. Gu Zhenghong is a person who can whitewash a fig leaf as long as he has a layer of fig leaf.

However, Gu Shuhan knew very well that this was not the result he wanted. Besides, she didn't want Gu Zhenghong to know about this matter at all. As Gu Shuhan said, from the moment Gu's mother and Gu Zhenghong divorced, for Gu Shuhan, Gu Zhenghong was just an outsider.

"What, how dare he do that!" Gu's mother's eyes were on fire, and her eyes were about to split. chose such a son-in-law back then, but for the sake of his loyalty and honesty and reading, who would have expected that such a loyal and honest man would do the same thing as Gu's father.

"Say I'm feudal dross, and I have to divorce me so that I can start his free love." A trace of mockery crossed Gu Shuhan's face.

"Where's the girl? He doesn't even want a girl? ”

"No, in his opinion, we are probably all obstacles to his free love. Mom, I went home to talk to you and... discussed this matter with Mr. Gu, who would have thought that such a change would happen in the family. ”

"Qin Zhihong's wolf-hearted thing! When his mother came to our house to propose, how did he promise me! When he welcomed you in the door, how did he promise me! Now I turn my face and don't recognize people! A sentence of feudal dross can wipe out everything! Gu's mother had just encountered such a thing, and when she saw her daughter encountering the same misfortune, she couldn't help but shoot the case: "I don't know what these progressive youths are thinking, but before they become progressive youths, they are human beings first!" Could it be that in order to be a progressive youth of Nashlaozi, they don't even plan to do it? Even the animals are more affectionate and righteous than them! ”

Gu's mother is a standard lady, always gentle, and rarely even has a temper. Now that the word animal-sheng has blurted out, it can be seen how angry she is.

Gu Shuhan saw that Gu's mother was excited, so he had to step forward to comfort him: "Mom, don't be excited. ”

Qin's mother was immersed in her own feelings: "If the so-called social progress is to teach men to abandon their wives and children, and teach them to abandon a person's basic conscience, then this kind of progress is too terrible......"

Gu Shuhan persuaded: "The despicable person has the pass of the despicable, he wants to stop his wife and remarry, naturally there is a reason, what does it have to do with the atmosphere?" If he had this mind, he would have divorced me sooner or later, and now it is just an extra fig leaf. ”

Gu's mother was silent for a moment, held her daughter's hand, and said gloomily: "Both of us are miserable, and we are not ladylike when we meet people." I'll just do it, it's been half a lifetime, but you're still so young...... What can I do in the future? She sighed, her tone full of concern for her daughter, and she didn't think that she herself was only in her thirties.

"Mom, don't worry, I've seen it. Since Qin Zhihong is bent on pursuing his true love, why should I block his way? As long as he returns the dowry to me, the dowry will be mine, and in the future, I will have no entanglement with him. Gu Shuhan said that she has never been a person who is willing to live a life in the future.

How can she live alone, it's not that she can't support herself, she has to rely on men to live. If she can't meet a suitable other half, she is willing to live like this with her daughter and mother in the future. For her, love is far from the whole of life, and the freedom and independence of career, family affection and even personality are equally important to her.

"Hey, you...... Have you really decided? Think about it, don't regret it? ”

"Of course. Just as you don't want me to live in the shadow of Mr. Gu all the time, I don't want Nan Nan to live in the shadow of Qin Zhihong all the time. You can't imagine how Qin Zhihong has treated Nan Nan with cold violence these days, he is not worthy of being a father! Gu Shuhan said coldly.

"Now that you've decided, Mom will support you no matter what. Mom has no ability, she can't say any big reason, Mom only knows, I want my daughter and granddaughter to live well, Mom will be content. ”

Gu's mother's words made Gu Shuhan's heart warm, from this moment on, she really regarded Gu's mother as her own relative. Although she has no father to rely on, is it not a blessing to have a mother who loves her?

Gu Shuhan held Gu's mother's hand and was silent for a long time.

"Mom, what's next for you?"

"Seriously, Mom hasn't figured it out yet." In the past twenty years, her life has been spent around Gu's father, and now that she has suddenly left Gu's mansion, she doesn't know where to go. My mother's family has long been ruined, and in order to avoid disaster, I moved far away, and according to the situation of taking care of my mother, it is naturally impossible to go to my mother's house.

Gu Shuhan thought for a while and said, "I remember that in addition to the dowry that was handed over to Mr. Qin to take care of, you also have a mansion in the city, so you might as well go and live there first." When I take Nannan out of the Qin Mansion, I will go there to meet you. ”

"You're going to Qin's house?" Gu's mother suddenly clenched Gu Shuhan's hand: "Why don't you let your mother go with you?" ”

"Mom, don't worry, I can still handle the people in that house. If you go with me, they will know that you have divorced your father, but they are afraid that they will be even more unscrupulous, so you should wait for me in the house. ”

Seeing this, Gu's mother had to endure the worry in her heart and said, "Then you come back early." ”
