Chapter 104: Accompany me for three years, and after three years, I will give you your freedom
As the protagonist, Qin Shu was completely unaware of her overnight fame, living almost in total isolation.
She had been brought back to the Gu Family by Gu Tingyan's orders.
Qin Shu went downstairs; the new housekeeper had already prepared a meal, and the table was filled with her favorite dishes.
Qin Shu sat at the table and asked in a faint voice, "When will Gu Tingyan be back?"
The housekeeper had just arrived, taking over Zhang Ma's position.
The housekeeper said softly, "I don't know."
Qin Shu held a signed divorce agreement in her hand and handed it to the housekeeper: "When he returns, have him sign this agreement."
"Very well, Madam."
Qin Shu went upstairs after finishing her meal.
The Gu Family.
Chu Chen heard that Gu Yichen had become a little cripple and specifically ran to the Gu Family to mock him.
Chu Chen looked at Gu Yichen sitting in his wheelchair and reached out to push him: "Little cripple, let's see how you can still fight my father for me."
"The Gu Family will belong to me and my mother in the future."
Gu Yichen sat in his wheelchair with his head lowered, making it impossible to see his expression; his demeanor was somewhat gloomy.
Gu Yichen clenched his fingers and whispered, "Was it you?"
Chu Chen continued to taunt him: "Little cripple, little lame boy."
Gu Yichen stood up from his wheelchair, grabbed the vase placed on the cabinet, and swung it directly onto the top of Chu Chen's head.
He cracked his head open!
He looked down at the person wailing and crying on the floor covered in blood, his expression surprisingly calm.
The servants rushed over and screamed in terror upon seeing this scene.
The screaming drew Lin Jingshu over; she saw Gu Yichen standing there silently, his cold little face devoid of any expression, indifferent to the point of near madness.
Chu Chen lay on the ground covered in blood, looking at the Gu Yichen who had always been weak and easy to bully, his eyes filled with a hint of fear and dread.
Gu Yichen held the blood-stained vase and quietly raised his eyes to look at Lin Jingshu: "Is Grandmother going to punish me again?"
"Take him away at once!"
Lin Jingshu's heart trembled, and she hurriedly ordered the servants to take Chu Chen away.
She walked over, took the vase from Gu Yichen's hand, threw it to the servant behind her, and warned with a cold gaze: "Clean this up."
"Not a word of today's events is to be leaked."
The servant said fearfully and respectfully: "Yes."
When Chu Sheng learned that her son had been beaten until his head was broken and bleeding by Gu Yichen at the Gu Family Old Residence, she angrily wanted an explanation, but Lin Jingshu dismissed her in a few words.
Hearing Lin Jingshu's words, she could only swallow her anger and stop pursuing Gu Yichen's responsibility.
Lin Jingshu said coldly: "Don't let Chu Chen come to the Gu Family Old Residence again in the future."
"Chenchen doesn't get along with him."
Chu Sheng's expression jolted, and she looked at Lin Jingshu in sheer disbelief.
Lin Jingshu said coldly: "I will not go back on what I promised you."
……
Gu Tingyan returned to the villa and saw the signed divorce agreement on the table.
His heart trembled violently; he sat on the sofa clutching the agreement and smoked one cigarette after another, but he dared not go upstairs to face Qin Shu.
Gu Tingyan took the divorce agreement, drove away from the villa, and did not return.
He was escaping reality.
He was even more afraid that he could not keep Qin Shu.
He did not understand how they had reached a point of no return.
The next day.
Qin Shu went directly to Gu Tingyan's company, and the chief secretary knocked on the door of Gu Tingyan's office.
Qin Shu pushed the door open and entered, seeing the man slumped over the desk sleeping; Gu Tingyan heard the sound, looked up, and saw Qin Shu, his eyes trembling slightly.
If Qin Shu came to find him on her own initiative, it would definitely not be anything good.
Gu Tingyan's voice was incredibly hoarse: "Huahua, why are you here?"
The man's eyes were bruised, clearly having not slept all night, and his beard had grown out; lacking grooming, the man who was usually polished and meticulous looked decadent and dejected.
Qin Shu's voice was indifferent: "Sign it."
"Dragging this out is of no benefit to either of us."
Gu Tingyan's heart sank to the bottom; he looked at the woman's heartless face and knew how hard her heart was now.
But he just wanted to keep her.
Gu Tingyan chuckled, and in front of Qin Shu, he tore the divorce agreement to shreds: "Huahua, I cannot divorce you."
Gu Tingyan said coldly: "I won't give you the child, and your grandmother is in my hands."
Qin Shu walked over, raised her hand, and slapped Gu Tingyan hard: "Gu Tingyan! You still want to threaten me with Grandmother?"
Gu Tingyan raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, lifted those cold, thin eyes, and curled his lips: "Huahua, you should have known what kind of person I am long ago."
A man like Gu Tingyan, who held top-tier power and wealth, had the ability to turn clouds and rain with a flip of his hand in Jing City.
With just one word from him, Qin Shu would not be able to find a foothold in Beijing.
In his early years, when Gu Tingyan entered the Gu Group, his methods were cruel, his personality cold-blooded and heartless, and his actions decisive; he offended many people, but others also feared him.
Because he was ruthless enough.
Gu Tingyan's eyes were pitch black: "Things I refuse to let go of."
"No one is going to take you away from me."
Gu Tingyan knew that no matter what he said now, no matter how many apologies he offered, he could not win Qin Shu back.
Then he would have to force her to stay by his side.
Even if all she gave him for the rest of her life was hatred, she would still have to stay by his side.
Qin Shu was trembling uncontrollably with rage, her eyes turning red: "You are despicable and shameless!"
A cold, thin expression appeared on Gu Tingyan's handsome face: "Huahua, don't provoke me."
"It won't do you any good."
He had tried to ask her to stay.
Qin Shu was not buying it.
Then he did not mind changing his approach toward her.
Even if she could never give him the love he wanted for the rest of their lives, it did not matter.
As long as she was by his side, he would make it up to Qin Shu; as long as enough time passed, he would make Qin Shu forget this unpleasant memory.
They could still be a loving couple just like before.
Qin Shu knew what Gu Tingyan wanted; she looked at him with scarlet eyes, mocking him: "Gu Tingyan, do you even have a heart?"
"How can you expect me to be with you?"
"That child who died, how do you expect me to face him?"
Gu Tingyan felt a sharp pain in his heart; he clenched his fists, his expression turning cold: "There will be more children."
Tears welled up in the corners of Qin Shu's eyes: "That will never be this child again!"
Gu Tingyan closed his eyes; he did not want to argue with Qin Shu right now, as she was emotionally agitated and could not be provoked.
"Stay with me for three years; after three years, I will give you your freedom."
Gu Tingyan's voice was colder than ever: "Don't forget, Su Tuantuan signed a ten-year contract with me; blacklisting her is just a matter of a single word from me."
"Go back and think about it carefully."
This cold-hearted and ungrateful man was terrifying when he was being heartless.
Qin Shu's fingertips were ice-cold; the phone on Gu Tingyan's desk rang, and he answered it, hearing an anxious voice on the other end: "President Gu, Qin Laotaitai has fallen down the stairs."
"What happened to my grandmother?"
Qin Shu became nervous instantly; Gu Tingyan looked at Qin Shu with a cold face and chuckled: "Huahua, tell me, should I save your grandmother?"
