Chapter 21: Chu Sheng Takes Gu Tingyan Away

Qin Shu paused, not expecting her son to ask it directly.

Qin Shu told a white lie: "No, Mommy was just asking."

He stared at Qin Shu with his pitch-black eyes and asked her earnestly: "Did Daddy bully you?"

Qin Shu said: "No."

Gu Yichen clearly could not accept his parents divorcing; Qin Shu did not want him to get hurt in the process, so she planned to tell him only after the divorce certificate was issued.

After coaxing the child to sleep and returning to her room, Qin Shu clicked on that entertainment news item.

Entertainment headline tag: "The male and female leads for 'Imperial City' have been decided. This is the new film by director Chen Wuzhi. According to internal sources, the male lead is set as Xie Jin, and the female lead is the newcomer Chu Sheng."

It was accompanied by two paparazzi photos.

The investors, the director, and the producer were eating together, and there was also a top-tier superstar, Xie Jin, alongside them; the other two were Gu Tingyan and Chu Sheng.

Gu Tingyan sat next to Chu Sheng with a cold expression, while Chu Sheng beside him looked at his profile with an adoring gaze.

"Male lead Xie Jin, no doubt about it; he is the male lead who fits the image best!"

"This female lead is actually quite pretty, she has the look of a 'little white flower'."

"Are you kidding? A newcomer acting as the female lead right after debuting? Capital is stepping in."

"My friend also went to the open auditions and didn't get picked; she said the female lead had been decided internally long ago."

"It's no surprise that Chu Sheng was chosen as the female lead. Who told her to sign with Xingchen Entertainment and have Gu Tingyan as her backer? Not everyone has that kind of luck."

"Her boyfriend is a big shot; she can't be compared to ordinary actors."

"Sigh, I didn't expect Director Chen to bow to capital too!"

"Haven't you guys noticed? They are a handsome man and a beautiful woman; they actually look quite compatible."

"Could this play be something Gu Tingyan invested in just to promote his girlfriend?"

"I heard he invested 500 million."

Qin Shu exited after reading it.

She sent a message to the top-tier lawyer Lu Ziqian: "Lawyer Lu, if I get a divorce, what are the chances of me getting custody of the child?"

"Can I win against my husband?"

Lu Ziqian's law firm is one of the top law firms in the world, and he himself has never lost a case!

Qin Shu knew that in one case where the female party did not have substantive evidence of her husband's infidelity, he had peeled back the layers like a cocoon to find traces, discovered the other party's weak spot, and even found the illegitimate child the man had hidden in the countryside.

He had the child awarded directly to the woman and she even received a large sum of assets.

Lu Ziqian replied to her WeChat in a businesslike manner: "Difficult."

Qin Shu's heart sank abruptly.

Lu Ziqian exited the WeChat interface with Qin Shu and sent a message to Gu Tingyan: "Gu Tingyan, your wife is consulting me about a divorce."

Gu Tingyan: "..."

"Impossible."

Qin Shu had promised him she would not divorce.

Seeing that he wouldn't give up until he saw the coffin, Lu Ziqian took a screenshot and sent it over.

Seeing that avatar, which could not be more familiar, Gu Tingyan's lips pressed tightly together, and his handsome face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of frost.

She lied to him; saying those words was just to coax him.

Seeing that Gu Tingyan's expression was terribly ugly, Chu Sheng leaned over and asked softly: "What's wrong?"

Gu Tingyan put away his phone and sat there with a gloomy expression, drinking one glass after another.

Anyone with eyes could see that he was in a very bad mood.

Chu Sheng was leaning close and caught a glimpse of the chat content between the two, her lips curling slightly.

As Gu Tingyan drank, she obediently poured him wine: "Drink less. If you get drunk later, you'll need me to take care of you again."

In the past, when the brothers went out to drink, Chu Sheng wouldn't touch a drop; when they got dead drunk, she would be the one to send everyone home.

Gu Tingyan drank quite a bit of alcohol and was a complete mess; Chu Sheng sat beside him, gently patting his chest, waiting until everyone else in the private room had left.

Chu Sheng gazed at Gu Tingyan's handsome face, her heart fluttering; she leaned in, stared at his lips, and slowly pressed her own against them, her voice seductive and charming: "Tingyan."

Her lips brushed against his earlobe as if unintentionally, and she asked in a low voice: "Sleep at my place? Hmm?"

Gu Tingyan was drunk and muttering something; Chu Sheng leaned in to listen: "Qin Shu."

Her expression changed instantly.

Chu Sheng stood up abruptly, her eyes terrifyingly gloomy.

He was drunk, and the name he called was actually Qin Shu!

Chu Sheng sneered; she made a phone call, and someone immediately delivered a room card for a hotel presidential suite.

Chu Sheng supported Gu Tingyan with effort as they exited the private room; she pressed the elevator button and used the room card to go to the top floor.

Chu Sheng used the room card to open the door, and after much difficulty, brought him back to the room and laid Gu Tingyan on the bed, exhausted.

Just as she placed him on the bed, Gu Tingyan's phone rang; she picked it up and answered, thinking it was Qin Shu, but it was A Zhong.

"President Gu, where are you?" A Zhong was sitting in the car, and seeing that everyone had left, he hadn't seen Gu Tingyan come down for a long time.

Fearing something had happened, he hurriedly called.

Chu Sheng laughed softly: "A Zhong, Tingyan is asleep here with me; you can go back yourself."

"No need to wait for him."

A Zhong did not expect the person answering the phone to be Chu Sheng.

But once he thought of the special treatment Gu Tingyan gave Chu Sheng, he fell silent.

"Understood, Miss Chu."

"Then I will head back first."

Chu Sheng: "Mm."

A Zhong looked at the hung-up phone, then he raised his head to gaze at the presidential suite on the top floor, his brows furrowing deeply.

Gu Tingyan and Qin Shu are not yet divorced; is it really appropriate to be with Miss Chu Sheng so brazenly like this?

A Zhong has been by Gu Tingyan's side for so many years, and he watched step by step how Qin Shu endured; when Gu Tingyan's legs were disabled and everyone despised him, only the Madam stayed by his side.

Every day she gave him acupuncture and took him to do rehabilitation.

President Gu's temper is not considered good, even A Zhong finds him difficult, yet Qin Shu was able to persist the whole time.

Back then, even the doctors had sentenced Gu Tingyan to death, and it was only because Qin Shu persisted that he was able to stand up again.

A Zhong gripped the steering wheel tightly, his thoughts struggling intensely.

He thought and thought, then dialed Qin Shu's number.

Forget it, at worst he would just get a sound beating from President Gu!

President Gu is too heartless and ungrateful; as soon as he could stand up, he abandoned Qin Shu, who had suffered with him, and is now brazenly keeping a mistress outside.

This Miss Chu Sheng's return is also quite surprising; when President Gu's legs were crippled, she fell into the sea and vanished without a trace.

Now that President Gu can stand, she has suddenly come back from the dead.

A Zhong always feels it is very strange.

Qin Shu was about to go to sleep when she received a call from A Zhong.

Qin Shu answered the phone: "Hello? A Zhong, is something the matter?"

A Zhong said with a sobbing tone: "Madam, please come quickly, something terrible has happened!"

The hand Qin Shu used to hold her phone tightened, and her heart suddenly leaped: "What happened?"

Could it be that Gu Tingyan is dead?

A Zhong has always been steady and calm, and having stayed by Gu Tingyan's side for so many years, he has also learned seven or eight parts of his swift and decisive way of handling things.

Since Qin Shu has known him, she has rarely seen him in such a flustered state.

A Zhong brought out all the acting skills of his life, begging and crying: "I beg you, please come quickly."

"I can't explain it clearly in a moment."

"Madam, please come over quickly!!!"
