After finishing the breakfast made by the nanny, Gu Jia asked Xu Huanshan about his plans for the day and then went to send Xu Ziyan to school.
After sending the child off, Gu Jia called Wang Yan directly and asked him to come and pick her up.
Wang Yan drove over to pick up Gu Jia, and the two of them went to wait near the hotel where they stayed yesterday.
He had received the news before, and Lin Youyou had not come out yet, so he was full of confidence this time.
No matter how free Xu Huanshan was, he still had to take care of the company's daily management. It wasn't until noon, when the two of them grew impatient waiting, that Xu Huanshan finally arrived.
Xu Huanshan walked into the hotel leisurely, and after a while, he came out with Lin Youyou on his arm.
Seeing this situation, Gu Jia also completely gave up. Maybe she had thought a lot last night, so she was still very clear-headed. She took out her phone and took some intimate photos of Xu Huanshan and Lin Youyou.
"Wang Yan, have a drink with me." After taking the photos, Gu Jia turned to Wang Yan beside her and said.
Wang Yan nodded and took Gu Jia to find a bar.
After ordering some wine, Gu Jia sat down and poured the wine for the two of them. They clinked their glasses and drank the whole cup directly.
The wine was quite strong. She drank the whole cup and choked, then started coughing violently.
Wang Yan also drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then walked up and patted Gu Jia on the back.
Whether it is marriage or love, feelings are like this. People who are most sincere in love are often the ones who are hurt the most. Gu Jia is heartbroken at this moment.
As for why Xu Huanshan cheated, Gu Jia had figured it out yesterday. After all, there were signs already.
It was simply that the novelty of the relationship had worn off over the years, and he was getting tired of her meddling in his affairs. Plus, things had been going smoothly for him recently, so a touch of a young, beautiful, and energetic girl was enough to break his defenses.
Gu Jia didn't say anything either, just drank silently.
She has always been proud and strives for perfection. Numerous relatives and friends have praised their happy family and thriving career, expressing their envy and jealousy. Despite some friction in their lives and setbacks in their careers, they have supported each other over the years, step by step, to reach where they are today, and she is always proud of them.
Even though she flatters them, she still looks down on them from the bottom of her heart. While the men are out having a lavish life, these old ladies are just talking nonsense, thinking that they all rely on men to make a living, while she, Gu Jia, has worked hard to get to where she is.
All these years, she had been working hard for it, her pride. Xu Huanshan just slapped her hard, and it was all gone.
What does a woman who has just been devastated by her husband's infidelity and the failure of her marriage need? Everyone has their own different opinions.
For Wang Yan, it was undoubtedly an attack on her body and a capture of her heart.
Of course Wang Yan couldn't just sit back and watch this situation. It wasn't that he was kicked in the head by a donkey, but that he was stuck in the door.
If there's an opportunity, you have to seize it. He's been doing so many things, chatting, introducing business, and taking care of his kids, isn't it all for this moment?
In the past, people lived happily and had happy families, so Wang couldn't go too far. But this time it was different, as Old Wang's little Wang had been horny and thirsty for a long time.
Reaching out and grabbing the wine glass from Gu Jia's hand: "Gu Jia, look at me, look into my eyes."
Gu Jia was awakened from her thoughts by Wang Yan's actions, and looked at Wang Yan when she heard his words.
Wang Yan stroked Gu Jia's cheek with both hands, and looked directly at Gu Jia with his charming eyes: "Do you know what I have been thinking for so long?"
Seeing her nod, he continued to ask: "So what are you thinking?"
This has to be voluntary, not forced. Taking advantage of someone in distress is really unkind.
Looking at Wang Yan's eyes that were full of wisdom, vicissitudes of life and infinite charm, Gu Jia couldn't help but fall into struggle.
Honestly, if Gu Jia hadn't been constantly thinking about her husband and children, Lao Wang's charm wouldn't have worked on most people, and she would have already hooked up with Wang Yan. Or else, is she crazy? A married woman flirting with a bachelor like that for no reason? What she's thinking is self-evident.
Her struggles also involve marriage, children, and her attitude towards Wang Yan.
Xu Huanshan betrayed her first, so when she and Wang Yan got together, was it revenge against Xu Huanshan? What would Wang Yan think?
As a mother, are you being unfair to your child? Even though your child is still young, he will eventually grow up. If you don't give your child positive guidance and the power of role models, won't you?
Just like when you were a kid, you had to prepare yourself mentally before drinking hot water, and you had to be very careful and cautious before you could drink it. Similarly, after experiencing a failure, Gu Jia would subconsciously avoid men.
But after struggling for a while, Gu Jia finally understood. What was the point of overthinking so much? After getting to know Wang Yan over the past few days, she knew he wouldn't overthink anything. Besides, her son called him "Daddy" much easier than "Dad." What she needed now was to vent, to be loved and cared for. What was the point of overthinking so much?
Was this a relief, a fulfillment of one's wish? He immediately stopped struggling and resisting, no longer nodding to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan saw Gu Jia nod, let her go, and called the waiter to settle the bill.
After paying the bill, Gu Jia did not resist. Instead, she cooperated and let Wang Yan hug her and leave.
After going outside, he stopped a taxi on the side of the road and returned to Grand Hyatt, Wang Yan's home.
From the moment Xu Huanshan and Lin Youyou were apprehended until they went out to drink and pay the bill, not much time had passed. It was a perfect time when the sun was shining brightly. Gu Jia needed to vent, and Wang Yan was there. It would have been unreasonable not to do that in broad daylight at such a good time.
Open the door and walk into the house, then close the door with one foot. The two of them hug each other directly.
What you can't get is always good. Wang Yan has been thinking about her for a long time.
Anyway, Gu Jia was exhausted, her mouth was dry, and her throat was hoarse. She and Xu Huanshan had never experienced such happiness in all these years.
Finally, he succeeded in licking the beauty. Wang Yan smoked his cigarette contentedly and leaned against the headboard of the bed while holding Gu Jia.
Gu Jia snuggled in Wang Yan's arms, stroking the muscles that showed the man's strength.
"You know, it's not convenient for me to deal with this kind of thing. Do you want me to introduce a lawyer to you?" Wang Yan asked.
Gu Jia replied, "No, I'll talk to him first, and then we'll talk if it doesn't work out."
"Okay. What about us?"
Seeing that Gu Jia didn't say anything, Wang Yan said, "I won't argue with you. You know, I like Zi Yan very much too. The three of us can live together."
"Once you've completed the formalities, I'll transfer some of the assets under my name to you."
Gu Jia opened her mouth to speak, but Wang Yan interrupted her directly: "I know you are not doing this for the money. This is my guarantee for you and Zi Yan, and it also gives you peace of mind."
After hearing his words, Gu Jia fell silent and just hugged Wang Yan tightly.
The two of them were affectionate for a while, and Gu Jia went to take a shower.
She put on her clothes in front of Wang Yan without any hesitation: "Once you go to pick up Zi Yan, you can sleep here tonight, don't go back."
Wang Yan understood, nodded and said okay.
After getting dressed, Gu Jia left and returned to her home.
It is impossible to say that Gu Jia is not sad.
The vows we made to each other are still fresh in my mind, from the youthful years to the charming middle-aged woman we are now. How could I possibly understand everything in just one afternoon?
Otherwise, why is Gu Jia so upset in the drama? On the one hand, their relationship really broke her heart. On the other hand, the family and career she had worked hard for half her life were destroyed. On the other hand, she didn't know how to face her future life and was confused for a while.
Wang Yan's appearance perfectly took over the above consequences.
It’s not that there is no love that lasts until death, but that is obviously not theirs.
The seven-year itch, they have been together for more than seven years. The love they had back then is really just for remembrance, more of it still depends on the family affection that has gone through wind and rain together, the support of each other, and the responsibility to the family to maintain it.
Gu Jia also felt the throbbing of youth in Wang Yan. The more Wang Yan appeared in her heart, the further Xu Huanshan rolled away.
He was also very nice to Xu Ziyan, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
Originally, Gu Jia was still very desperate when she thought about her failed marriage.
But after this afternoon's outburst, coupled with everything that happened before, and Wang Yan's statement, he was really better in every way, far superior to Xu Huanshan.
Apart from a little sadness of being misplaced and remembrance of lost love, she had no other thoughts.
As for her sadness and nostalgia, it is a question how long it can last under Wang Yan's powerful force.
After returning home, Gu Jia had a simple meal and sat on the balcony, quietly looking at the scenery under the night sky, and a movie began to play in her mind.
After hanging out with Lin Youyou for most of the day, Xu Huanshan finally walked into the house.
Seeing Xu Huanshan coming over, Gu Jia subconsciously asked: "You're back, why are you so late again?"
"There have been a lot of things going on these past two days, and everything happened at the same time." Xu Huanshan made an excuse to explain.
Gu Jia stared at Xu Huanshan's eyes for a while, picked up her phone, found the intimate photos she had taken today, and handed them to him.
The way out was already found, and Gu Jia didn't want to ask any more questions that were useless. What would it matter if she did? Some betrayals might be forgiven by some people, but she, Gu Jia, would not forgive them.
Xu Huanshan took the phone, took a look at it, and dropped it on the ground in shock. He opened his mouth to speak.
Gu Jia's eyes were red: "Let's get a divorce."
Even though she had thought about it all night yesterday, and Wang Yan tutored her for half a day this afternoon, and then spent a few hours on self-improvement after coming back, she was still sentimental. When she said this, she couldn't help but think of the past and burst into tears.
"Wife, please listen to my explanation, I..." Upon hearing this, Xu Huanshan hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.
"What did you say?"
"Tell me how you met him?"
"Tell me how you two got into bed?"
"Xu Huanshan, you're amazing! You didn't even know to stay away from your mistress? Are you that impatient?"
Gu Jia's angry words directly drained Xu Huanshan's energy.
Xu Huanshan lowered his head. Yes, what could he say? Things had already happened. What was the point of him saying more?
Even if it's meaningless, I have to talk about it. I can't just sentence him directly. Xu Huanshan began to use his two tricks of teasing, telling the story emotionally.
"Wife, when I first met you, we..."
They talked about the painful journey they had walked over the years from the time they met to now, the many loving and beautiful moments in the process, the vows they had made back then, the plans for their children to get married and have children in the future, the beautiful future they had imagined together, and the emotional journey of his cheating on them.
Finally: "Wife, I will definitely change in the future, and I promise there won't be a next time. Wife, please give me another chance."
After watching Xu Huanshan finish his long and rambling speech, Gu Jia looked at him and said, "I don't believe a single word you said."
A flash of inspiration came to Xu Huanshan, who thought of Xu Ziyan just now: "Wife, for Ziyan's sake, please forgive me again and give me another chance."
Suddenly, Xu Huanshan knelt there, pulling Gu Jia's arm: "Just this once, okay, honey, I beg you."
"Why didn't you think of Zi Yan when you cheated on me? Do you think of him now? Stop dreaming, Xu Huanshan."
Seeing that Gu Jia had made up her mind, Xu Huanshan stopped struggling and simply exploded.
She stood up and shouted, "Why are you always so aggressive? From dating to marriage to starting a business, wasn't everything, every decision, every step between us decided by you?"
"Have you ever looked me in the eye?"
"Including this company and me, Mr. Xu."
"You want to climb up, but I just want to be the most beautiful firework."
"Don't I know what's going on with the company? You have the final say on finances and company development. I only sign after you sign, no matter big or small."
"From the big things like the company's development to the small things like Xu Ziyan's education, what I eat, drink, and wear, you're in charge of everything, big and small. Aren't I just listening to you?"
"Xu Ziyan is your youngest son, and I am your eldest son. Have you ever considered my feelings?"
Gu Jia burst into tears: "You finally told the truth. It turns out you have always seen me like this."
"There's an irreconcilable conflict between us. It seems if there's not this girl, there's that girl."
"Life has been unbearable for a long time, and you've had enough of it."
"That's perfect, let's get a divorce. We'll both be free."
Xu Huanshan was silent, and Gu Jia didn't say anything either. For a moment, you could hear a pin drop.
After a long while, she calmed down, wiped away her tears, and said, "The fireworks factory is yours, the tea factory and the dessert shop are mine, and Zi Yan will also be with me. Let's sell this house and split it in half. What do you think?"
Xu Huanshan had no objection: "I'll do as you say." He was the one who was wronged by Gu Jia and the child first, so what objection could he have?
I have to say, Lin Youyou is indeed sufficient.
Wang Yan put him on a pedestal, and Lin Youyou was whispering in his ear.
Children all have a rebellious mentality, and it will only make things worse if adults can't control them.
Xu Huanshan only symbolically saved the situation. As Gu Jia said, he really didn't want to continue like this. During this period, he had felt all the good things about Lin Youyou, felt the carefreeness, and felt the freedom. He was fed up with Gu Jia.
This guy must not get carried away and must keep his feet on the ground. He didn't even think about how he attracted Lin Youyou, how he could afford to travel with her, and how all this came about. He even had such a heartless way of saying nonsense like "I just want to be the most beautiful fireworks."
Wang Yan was merely an inducement. He gave Xu Huanshan a sense of success, a touch of confidence. He slightly altered his personality, allowing him to choose, to find a path. The rest was largely down to that little woman, Lin Youyou.
Seeing that Xu Huanshan didn't refute, Gu Jia didn't want to stay with him for a second longer: "I'll find a lawyer tomorrow and we'll go through the paperwork."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out, closing the door with a bang.
After going out, Gu Jia sent a message to Wang Yan, and only went up after Xu Ziyan fell asleep.
Wang Yan looked at Gu Jia, who was standing at the door with red eyes, and sighed.
"I'll get some wine, have a drink."
It's easy to say, there's a way out and a future, but how can we just let go of the past without feeling sad?
He took a few bottles of wine, sat on the balcony with his arms around Gu Jia, and drank one glass after another.
Listening to Gu Jia talking about the past and denouncing Xu Huanshan.
At this time, Gu Jia needs to get drunk.
Xu Huanshan heard the door slam shut, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He couldn't help but ask himself, is this really the right thing to do?
He always wanted to break away from Gu Jia's control, and this feeling became stronger as his business became more successful.
Now I have really done it, but I still feel reluctant in my heart. People always learn to cherish things only after they lose them.
At this point, no matter how much I say, it will be useless. I still have to look forward.
A real man never looks back.
After calming down, he looked around and saw traces of Gu Jia everywhere in the house. He was afraid that seeing the things would remind him of her and make him soft-hearted, so he didn't want to stay for long.
Xu Huanshan went downstairs and drove to find Lin Youyou.
