Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A diplomatic marriage.
This wasn’t new to her, but they were always just unverified rumors. Now that she was hearing it from Zuo Si, it became a solid truth.
Gu Yu was really going to have a diplomatic marriage with Zuo Si, so… Gu Yu divorced her then to pave the way for his marriage with Zuo Si. If she was still legally married to Gu Yu, Zuo Si would not be able to stand by his side as a legal partner.
Xu Weilai couldn’t describe the feeling she was having at that moment. Would she finally be free after she had gotten the truth she sought for, or… after the wild goose chase, she was still the one being forsaken?
She did not speak, and her expression a little solemn.
Zuo Si stared at her expression. Xu Weilai was undeniably the calmest woman she had ever met. If it were any other woman, how would they have reacted if they were told the same?
Would they have cried bitterly? Would they be in disbelief? Or would they have cursed and thrown tantrums?
She had a sudden desire to see the emotions hidden beneath Xu Weilai’s calm exterior.
Zuo Si’s dark pupils moved around, then she continued, “Xu Weilai, you should have known that love is ridiculous and meaningless in our world. What is the point of having a marriage? Alignment of interest, profit maximization, and cooperation with a win-win situation for both parties. Then only the marriage will last. Don’t tell me that you’re still holding on to the idea that marriage based on love alone will last for a lifetime.”
“Was it that you’ve watched too many TV dramas? Or you’ve not outgrown the world of fairy tales, Miss Xu?”
She paused as if something came to her mind and her smile deepened. “If that’s the case, I don’t mind playing along and give you a classic line or two.”
“As for you, what you had with Gu Yu is already in the past. As Gu Yu’s marriage partner, I guess I should have the right to tell you, to please stay away from Gu Yu?”
Xu Weilai leisurely took a look at Zuo Si. She noticed the provocative stare of Zuo Si and suddenly let out a chuckle, “Miss Zuo, if you want to learn, you should learn the whole process. Isn’t there still one missing step?”
“Oh? What missing step?”Zuo Si tilted her head and asked in a humble manner.
Xu Weilai replied calmly, “Writing me a check.”
She shouldn’t have laughed in such a “fight” scene, but Xu Weilai just could surprise her every single time. It was indeed interesting.
Zuo Si played along and asked, “Then how much do you want?”
“Miss Zuo, you’re degrading yourself. Under normal circumstances, you should give me a blank check to have me fill in any amount that I want… classic gestures aren’t that easy to learn.”
Zuo Si realized later that Xu Weilai was mocking her indirectly.
Not only did Xu Weilai not act the way she had anticipated, but Xu Weilai was also able to strike back at her without batting an eyelid. She was really in a full combat-ready mode.
Well, if Xu Weilai was a delicate rich girl with a fragile heart, she would not be standing here right now.
Zuo Si lowered her eyes and smiled silently. Then, she stood up and walked to Xu Weilai’s front. She slowly bent down until her red lips came close to Xu Weilai’s ear, then she whispered.
–
Xu Weilai almost collided with Assistant Lin, who was holding cups of coffee when she came out from the office. Fortunately, he was quick-witted enough to move sideways. After he steadied himself, he looked at the pale face of Xu Weilai. He couldn’t help but asked, “Miss Xu, are you okay? What did Miss Zuo say to you?”
“The reason for the divorce was that Gu Yu wanted to marry Zuo Si. He wasn’t having any predicaments, he just did not love me.”
