768 Fall Out(Chapter preview)

Gu Mingzhe's initial anger was extinguished by this pail of cold water.

Gu Mingzhe immediately came in front of Zhong Qianqian. He looked at the angry Zhong Qianqian and coaxed her, "What's wrong, Qianqian? You were fine this morning. Why are you suddenly like this?"

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu were shocked, too.

Afraid that Zhong Qianqian was really going to get a divorce, Gu Mingzhe quickly said, "That's right, Qianqian. You were so happy when you came down to eat. Why are you so unhappy after changing your clothes? Who provoked you? Tell us, and we'll help you."

Zhong Qianqian scanned all the faces of this family, ruthlessly uncaring of her own looks or status. She really thought of herself as a lady of a first-tier wealthy family. She laughed coldly and replied, "Gu Mingzhe, do you really think that I, Zhong Qianqian, am a fool? Your Gu family is surrounded by enemies because of me, but you are willing to put the Gu family through such pressure to be with me. Ask yourself honestly, do you love me or the power behind me?"

Actually, Gu Mingzhe was indeed outstanding and handsome. If he truly loved her, she would not be so angry even though she felt wronged in marrying Gu Mingzhe.

However, obviously, he did not.

Gu Mingzhe's expression turned severely grim. He thought about the problem that the Gu family was facing and asked, "Who told you about this?"

"My mom."

Gu Mingzhe's expression turned a few shades darker.

Jiang Shuwan was an idiot. It was impossible for her to know that, but it turned out that she did. It must be Zhong Kuijun who told her this.

Why?

Through this period of interaction, Gu Mingzhe had a basic grasp of Zhong Qianqian's personality. If he continued to obey her, this woman would definitely divorce him.

Therefore, Gu Mingzhe nodded and admitted it.

"Yes, I know about your background. So, what about that? Didn't you see how I've been treating you recently? I admit that I've taken a fancy to your background. After all, I'm also a young master from a wealthy family. I, too, want to have an excellent wife. What's wrong with that? Since you like me and I like you, what's wrong with us being together? Or are you saying that you're allowed to take a fancy to my family background in the past but you won't allow me to like you for the same reason? Qianqian, I, Gu Mingzhe, never like to force anyone. If you insist on thinking that I took advantage of you and you choose to divorce me because of this--I, Gu Mingzhe, am not a clingy person either--then divorce, we shall. Bring your household register with you. Now that it's still afternoon, I'll get someone to help us get the divorce certificate."

Zhong Qianqian, "..."

Dumbfounded.

How did things end up this way?

They should be begging her not to go through with the divorce, should they not?

Zhong Qianqian was a little confused.

Meanwhile, Gu Mingzhe had already gone upstairs to retrieve his household register and Zhong Qianqian's.

"Let's go."

Seeing that Gu Mingzhe really wanted to divorce her, Zhong Qianqian was dumbfounded.

However, when she thought about her background, Zhong Qianqian straightened her back. "Divorce is fine, but tell me about my family background."

Her words made everyone in the Gu family burst out laughing.

Gu Mingzhe was still very gentle, but his words that came out from his mouth were very harsh.

"Qianqian, do you really think that I'll tell you about your family background before we talk things through properly?"

"If you don't tell me about my family background, the Gu family will continue to suffer, and no one will help you. I know that you won't be able to hold on for much longer," Zhong Qianqian negotiated.

The gentle smile remained on Gu Mingzhe's face.
