Chapter 61: Even Discussion Is Useless

  She looked like she had a good sleep, her cheeks were rosy and her small face was delicate, with two lovely clouds of blush on it. Her lips were pouting slightly, as if covered with a layer of soft light, and the faint expression on her face made her whole person radiant and full of sunshine, just like this morning.

  Xiao Qian said, "Tell Grandpa that you were tired in the evening and didn't go to the front hall for dinner. Grandpa had someone send over a simple breakfast."

  Gu Yu heard this and nodded, saying, "Mm, very good."

  Xiao Qian also wanted to eat something, and he sat down casually, eating while saying, "The divorce hasn't been agreed upon with Grandfather yet, you're moving out now, you should go tell Grandfather about it."

  Gu Yu nodded along with him, "Got it."

  Xiao Qian finished eating earlier than her, threw down half a piece of bread and said, "When you talk to Grandpa, control your temper a bit. If you make trouble in front of Grandpa, be careful that the one billion yuan will slip away from you."

  Gu Xiang paused for a moment, then lifted her head and saw Xiao Qian walking away while taking off his pajamas to change into work clothes.

  As he walked, he calmly reminded her, "I'm doing this for your own good."

  Gu Yu smiled lightly and replied, "Thanks for reminding me."

  Gu Yu pinched the bread and thought she should go tell her grandfather first.

  All these years, Grandpa has been taking care of her, although many times he couldn't openly favor her, but in secret, he always gave her special treatment and supported her.

  But now she is ready to leave the Xiao family, and she must say goodbye to her grandfather first.

  After Xiao Qian left, Gu Yu sat in the house thinking for a while, called someone to send over a new set of clothes, and wanted to go see Grandpa. She tidied herself up and slowly made her way to Xiao Yan's place.

  When they arrived at the door, the butler went in to ask and said that Xiao Yi was inside having an early tea, and asked Gu Yu to go in.

  Inside, the tea fragrance wafts, Gu Yan knows that it is Xiao Yi's favorite Da Hong Pao.

  Xiao Zhen was sitting inside, next to the birds he raised. Nothing much, Xiao Zhen also liked going out with people to walk the birds and play chess. Now that he's old, most things have been handed over to his children and grandchildren. It's enough for Xiao Zhen to just manage the household affairs at home. Although there are many trivial matters, it is indeed more leisurely than in the past.

  Gu Yu walked in, her footsteps pausing for a moment before Xiao Ye's gentle laughter came from inside, saying "Little Yu is here, come on in, sit down, it just so happens I'm free, you keep this old man company and chat with me." Xiao Ye called out to Gu Yu as he always did.

  Gu Yu lowered his head, clasped his hands in front of him, and twisted them before finally speaking up, "Grandfather, I've come to bid you farewell."

  Xiao Yi was originally leaning lazily there, and as soon as Gu Yan's words fell, he immediately straightened his back.

  "What nonsense are you talking about, Xiao Yue? What absurd things are you saying?" Xiao Ye said sternly.

  Gu Yu bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Xiao Qian is already going to divorce me, so it doesn't make sense for me to stay here anymore. We just quarrel when we're together. For the last few days, I thought of going back home to give him some peace and quiet, let him sort out his things and prepare for the divorce. I'll also go back and take a good look..."

  Xiao Yi suddenly stood up, staring at Gu Yan, his expression stiff and his angry eyes rolling around in their sockets. After a long while, he finally said, "Divorce? What divorce? I said no to divorce, so it's not allowed."

  Gu Yu's eyes moved, and she lowered her eyelashes, bowing her head to say, "Grandfather, I know you love me and don't want me to leave, but...I really don't get along with Xiao Qian. If we stay together, it will only end in mutual destruction. It's better if we just break up, maybe we can still be friends."

  "What's with the friend or not friend nonsense, you've been together for six years, is it something that can be broken off just like that? This is absurd." Xiao Yi's hand waved in the air as he shouted. After a moment of thought, he muttered to himself, "It must be this kid causing trouble again." Turning around, he called out to the butler, "Old Zhao, go and make a phone call to tell Xiao Qian to get back here immediately."

  Lao Zhao was stunned, looking at Xiao Yi's furious face, the entire face's wrinkles were stiff like stone, and he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he quickly ran to make a phone call.

  Xiao Yi didn't drink tea anymore and directly waved his hand saying go to the front hall, wait for Xiao Qian to come back before talking.

  Gu Yu didn't know Xiao Yi would get so angry, and while walking towards the front hall, she made a call to Xiao Qian.

  However, the phone was unreachable, and Gu Yu had no choice but to grit her teeth and go with him to the front hall.

  As soon as they arrived at the front hall, they saw that Xiao Qian had already arrived. The two of them exchanged a glance, and before they could speak, they saw Xiao Yi sitting in his red sandalwood chair inside, slapping the table directly.

  He glared at Xiao Qian with red eyes, "Xiao Qian, I've told you before, I don't agree with your divorce. You'd better give up on this idea."

  Xiao Qian glanced at Gu Yan, and at this time, he was still calm.

  On the way, I had expected Xiao Ye to say this, and I also expected that this marriage would not be so easy to divorce.

  Xiao Qian's expression was calm and his tone was steady as he looked at Xiao Yan, "Grandfather, I've already discussed this with Gu Yu, we both agree on the divorce. What's the point of you opposing it now?"

  Xiao Yi furrowed her brow and glared at him, interrogatingly, "You scoundrel! Don't you want that 100 million anymore? Did you give it to Xiao Wei?"

  Xiao Qian let out a deep breath, at this time, since the decision to divorce had been made, he still had to take responsibility.

  "Since I brought it up, that 100 million, giving it to her is also reasonable. If I lose this 100 million, it's not like I'll be unable to survive. Grandfather, if you lose this 100 million, it's just a few less digits in your asset numbers, it doesn't hurt or itch for you either. So what's the harm in giving it to her?" Xiao Qian was too stingy to ask a woman for money, but since he had made up his mind to divorce, that was his decision. Losing 100 million was worth exchanging for two people's freedom.

  A stifling breath seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he panted heavily as he looked at the two people.

  His gaze fell on Gu Yu, who was expressionless beside him. "And you, what do you have to say? Are we getting a divorce or not?"

  Gu Xi glanced at Xiao Qian sideways, previously, she hadn't thought about how to deal with the 100 million yuan settlement, but now that Xiao Qian had already made up his mind and decided, wouldn't he have to divorce her anyway?

  In that case, what else does she need to say?

  "Grandpa, Xiao Qian is right, our divorce was a mutual decision."

  Xiao Yi said nothing more, pursing his lips with a hint of dark red color, quietly watching the two people. His gaze turned back and forth between them several times before he spoke to Gu Yu, "Let me ask Ah Qian first, Xiao Yu, you go out and wait for a while."

  Gu Yu and Xiao Qian raised their heads together and exchanged a glance.

  At this time, they were surprisingly tacit.

  Gu Yu nodded and walked out silently, Xiao Qian saw Gu Yu close the door before turning around to look at Xiao Chen.

  Xiao Yi got up, looked in the direction Gu Yu was leaving, took a deep breath, and slowly walked over to Xiao Qian's side. He looked outside, let out a heavy sigh, "Qian, have you made up your mind to divorce Gu Yu?"

  "How many times do I need to say it? Grandfather, everything that needs to be said has been said. Now I just hope you can agree to our peaceful separation," Xiao Qian said.

  Xiao Yi's tone was calm and gentle, "You've been with Gu Yan for so many years, haven't you? What's wrong with Xiao Yan? She has a good appearance and abilities. I know you're upset with her lately, and it's affecting your mood. I also know that things have been off between you two recently, whether it's Xiao Yan or you, both of you are being a bit too impulsive. Ah-Qian, I understand you, if there wasn't another reason, you wouldn't really want to divorce Gu Yan. What's going on in your mind? Tell me."

  Xiao Qian turned his head, looking at Xiao Yi, "Grandpa... I've always felt that I'm not suitable for Gu Yu, before we agreed to get married, we didn't have a deep understanding of each other, so after the marriage, we started to make adjustments, but obviously, it didn't work out, and now we're still not suitable for each other, that's why I want a divorce."

  "This is not the real reason." Xiao Yi's deep eyes stared at Xiao Qian's face.

  Xiao Qian's eyes moved and he turned his head around.

  "Do you want to marry Lu Qinghuan and bring her back?" Xiao Yi asked.

  Xiao Qian raised his head, "Grandpa, I've never thought of it that way. It's not because I want to marry Lu Qinghuan that I want to divorce Gu Yie. Even if we get a divorce, it's not because of anyone, just because the two of us don't get along."

  Xiao Yi looked at him, "So after the divorce, you won't marry Lu Qinghuan either?"

  "Of course, now I just want a divorce and end my relationship with Gu Yu. I'm not so beastly that I'd think about life after divorce before we're even divorced."

  Xiao Yi heard this, turned his head around and stared straight at Xiao Qian, "A Qian, are you still holding a grudge against Gu Yiyi? She's been in a bad mood lately and has been quarreling with you a lot. You can't bear it anymore, I know your temper. Tell me, is it true that you've recently started thinking about divorce?"
