Chapter 19: Take Back Your Words, I Cannot Divorce You!

"You want to see my marriage certificate?"

Qin Yan listened to Jiang Tong's deliberate provocation; it seemed she knew there was no Gu He'an on her marriage certificate.

She smiled indifferently, tapped her phone, opened a photo of the marriage certificate, and handed it to her to see.

Jiang Tong saw the marriage certificate on her phone—it was a photo of Gu He'an and her, along with both their identity information—and her face immediately stiffened, her heart filled with panic.

"You, you photoshopped this!"

"You wanted to see it, so I showed it to you. Now you say it's photoshopped. Why don't you say your face is plastic surgery?"

"..."

Jiang Tong didn't believe it. Lin Yan had told her personally that Qin Yan's marriage certificate was fake, and Gu He'an had called her this morning to make things difficult for Qin Yan and make her unable to stay in the company.

"Minister Jiang, although I don't know why you're targeting me, you've provoked me. Rest assured, I won't let you off either!"

Qin Yan put away her phone, picked up her notebook, and turned to leave the conference room.

She went to the Personnel Department and said that the Planning Department didn't want her, asking if she could be transferred; if not, they should fire her.

The Minister of Personnel didn't dare to make a decision and called Gu He'an.

Before long, Gu He'an came in person and told her to go upstairs to his office to talk.

Qin Yan stood still, and Gu He'an lectured her coldly, "Qin Yan, the people in the Planning Department just said a few words to you, and you want to resign? You're too willful!"

Qin Yan was angered to laughter by his words. She continued to act with him for the sake of revenge, not to be wronged.

Now, whoever made her unhappy, she wouldn't endure it!

"Yes, I'm willful. If you can't stand it, fire me, or go get a divorce with me. Let's go right now!"

Hearing her mention divorce, Gu He'an was dazed.

Divorce was actually brought up by her first.

The woman who once looked forward to marrying him so much, who was full of happiness when they got the certificate, and even said she would treat him well for a lifetime, was actually the first to propose a divorce.

"Divorce is impossible, Qin Yan, stop while you're ahead!" He didn't want to cause a scene here, so he grabbed her hand, wanting to take her away and soothe her emotions.

Qin Yan shook off his hand, raised her arm, and slapped him across the face.

"You didn't ask for the reason and just blamed me for being willful. Gu He'an, the one who should stop while they're ahead is you!"

*Smack! *

The sound of the slap was crisp and loud.

Everyone was surprised and covered their mouths. This woman actually dared to lay hands on the president; she was truly brave!

Gu He'an was stunned by the slap, the stinging pain on half his face still feeling somewhat unreal.

The woman who loved him to the bone actually laid hands on him because of a few words.

"Qin Yan, you've really gone crazy!"

Qin Yan sneered. The night she found out her marriage certificate was fake, she had already gone crazy.

If she didn't go crazy, everyone would think she was easy to bully!

"I was driven crazy by you too!"

Listening to her roar, Gu He'an's heart was also tugged, and he felt a bit panicked.

Did she know about the fake marriage certificate?

He stared at her with red eyes, his gaze tracing her angry upturned face and her tightly pursed lips.

He licked the corner of his mouth, took a tentative step forward, and offered the other half of his face to her, "It's a bit crazy, but it's also spicy enough. I'll let you hit the other side to vent your anger."

"..." Qin Yan took a step back; she found him dirty.

Seeing her attitude soften, he grabbed her again, dragged her to the stairwell, slammed the door shut with a *clatter*, and pressed her entire body against the wall.

"Qin Yan, you were the one who blocked me first and then laid hands on me. Do you really think I have no way to deal with you?"

Qin Yan pushed him away in disgust, but couldn't push him away at all, and cursed angrily, "What, are you going to lay hands on me? Then hurry up and hit me, and after you're done, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau!"

Hearing that she still wanted a divorce, Gu He'an felt relieved instead.

That meant she still didn't know about the fake marriage certificate.

He had called Jiang Tong this morning to make things difficult for Qin Yan, originally wanting to teach her a lesson for blocking him last night.

If she was wronged in the Planning Department, he would then reach out to help her and soothe her anger. He hadn't expected the acting to go wrong.

Not only did she want to resign, but she also wanted a divorce.

They had never even received a certificate, how could they divorce!

"Qin Yan, you're sulking, why are you acting like a child? Divorce at the slightest disagreement." He coaxed her, "Causing such a scene, you're not like how you were at all!"

Qin Yan pushed him away with force and questioned, "Gu He'an, ask yourself, when you were almost crippled in your legs, lying in bed in despair, and even your parents had given up on you, who saved you, and what did you say to me then?"

"Now you just feel I'm redundant, a burden to you. Who is the one who has changed?"

Mentioning the past, Qin Yan's heart tightened, and her eyes felt sour.

She loved him; he was the center of her world, and she was willing to do anything for him. She could endure being wronged.

She didn't love him; he was just unclassified trash!

Sooner or later, he would be thrown into the recycling bin!

Mentioning the past, Gu He'an's expression softened.

"I made you angry, I apologize, okay? Qin Yan, take back your words too, I cannot divorce you!"

Listening to his sudden affection, Qin Yan sneered in her heart.

They weren't even married, how could they divorce.

"The people in the Planning Department wronged you, I will definitely deal with them for you. Don't be angry, and unblock me from your blacklist." Gu He'an softened his tone.

"Don't think about brushing me off, you have to take action."

"I'm not brushing you off." Gu He'an sensed her attitude softening and coaxed her again, "I'll have the Personnel Department fire the Minister of the Planning Department right now and let you take the position. What do you think?"

Qin Yan raised an eyebrow, "That's fine."

She had deliberately thrown a tantrum to make him fire Jiang Tong; she really hadn't thought about being the Minister of the Planning Department.

If she was promoted to Minister, it wasn't impossible.

Gu He'an grabbed her hand and walked out of the stairwell, went to the Personnel Department to announce the decision to fire Jiang Tong, and had Qin Yan take over the position of Minister of the Planning Department.

"..." The Personnel Department looked at Qin Yan in shock—let her be the Minister of the Planning Department?

Although absurd, they didn't dare to refute and hurried to get it done.

Jiang Tong, who was notified that she was being fired, ran to Gu He'an in a rage, wanting to explain that it was clearly he who told her to make things difficult for Qin Yan. Before she could finish her words, she was scolded by Gu He'an, who said if she said another word of nonsense, she wouldn't get a single cent of compensation.

"..." Jiang Tong was unwilling and went to Lin Yan to cry and complain.

When Lin Yan returned to the country, it was she who had facilitated Gu He'an meeting her and rekindling their old flame.

Therefore, Lin Yan helped her get promoted, which was how she became the Minister of the Planning Department.

Lin Yan comforted her, "The president has spoken, it might be hard to save. How about this, I'll introduce you to another company. The benefits and treatment definitely won't be bad, don't suffer here."

Jiang Tong was dejected, "Where can the benefits and treatment be as good as a big company like Gu Corporation?"

"How about the Lu Group?" Lin Yan asked in return.

"..." Jiang Tong's eyes widened in surprise, confirming she wasn't joking.

The Lu Group was naturally better than the Gu Corporation!

Although the Gu Corporation and the Lu Group were competitors, the Lu Group had a wider scope of business and also had quite a few operations abroad, while the Gu Corporation had encountered a bottleneck in its development due to the previous crisis.

Lin Yan said a bit embarrassedly, "I know the president of the Lu Group. He sent flowers this morning, so I want to introduce you to work at his company. He should agree."
