Lin Youyou, who was in the hotel, was playing with her mobile phone on the bed.
After receiving the news that Xu Huanshan had come, she was very surprised, because he had just returned not long ago.
Subconsciously, Lin Youyou had some guesses in her mind.
He told the service staff downstairs to bring Xu Huanshan up.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. Lin Youyou opened the door and saw Xu Huanshan outside the door, who was obviously different from usual.
She was stunned for a moment, then stepped aside to let Xu Huanshan in: "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Huanshan didn't say anything, kicked the door shut, picked up Lin Youyou and rolled onto the bed.
After making love, the two leaned on the bed.
After a moment of silence, Xu Huanshan said, "Gu Jia discovered it."
Lin Youyou was shocked by the news. She had previously thought that they had just had a quarrel, but she had not expected that they would be discovered by Gu Jia. Combined with Xu Huanshan coming to find her, the result was self-evident.
Secretly delighted, she still asked, "What's the result?"
"Divorce tomorrow."
"What about us?"
Xu Huanshan pondered for a while and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Despite her disappointment, the news that Xu Huanshan was getting a divorce tomorrow still made her extremely excited.
The next day, Gu Jia drank a lot yesterday and fell asleep in the living room.
Wang Yan went out for a run, brought back some breakfast, and woke Xu Ziyan up to eat.
Xu Ziyan also exercises every day and has plenty of energy. It's inevitable for children to be sleepy, but they've had enough sleep long ago and just roll around in bed, unwilling to get up.
Wang Yan got up as soon as he was called, very quickly and without any grumpy attitude at all.
Xu Ziyan was quite surprised when he came out and saw Gu Jia sleeping in the living room.
He sometimes slept at Wang Yan's house, but her mother never stayed overnight.
"Dad, why is my mom here too?"
"She's drunk, and your dad's not home because of something, so she's just hanging out here. Okay, let's eat."
Xu Ziyan was sensible and knew that Gu Jia spoke very quietly when she was drunk for fear of waking him up.
After the father and son finished their meal, they cleaned up Xu Ziyan and Wang Yan drove him to school.
When I came back, Gu Jia was already awake and taking a shower.
A day's plan begins in the morning, and Wang Yan was a little agitated. But he managed to control himself well. After today, he could do whatever he wanted, so there was no need to rush.
After Gu Jia finished taking a shower, Wang Yan pointed to the porridge on the table and said, "Eat a little. It will help you feel better."
"good."
He nodded, sat down at the table, and lowered his head to drink his porridge.
After dinner, Gu Jia cleaned up and Wang Yan said, "Do you want me to go with you?"
"No, I can do it myself. Besides, it's not good for you two to meet." With a gentle smile, Gu Jia walked up to Wang Yan, kissed him, and left.
Feeling the remaining warmth on his face, he watched Gu Jia's departing back.
Wang Yan's lips curled up slightly, with a smile in his eyes.
Lao Wang, take the top position.
Gu Jia went out and returned to her home on the twelfth floor to get various documents, then called Xu Huanshan and asked him to meet at the law firm where they had worked before.
When I arrived at the place, I found a lawyer I was familiar with, told him the specific conditions, and asked him to draft an agreement first.
After waiting for a long time, Xu Huanshan finally arrived carrying Lin Youyou.
Wang Yan was not there, otherwise even he would have given him a thumbs up and praised him for being a real man.
This approach is understandable. It's nothing more than bringing people here to show off their power.
Look how young and beautiful I found her. Isn't she a millionaire compared to you, a middle-aged woman with a faded appearance? Can't I just leave you, Gu Jia? Let me show you what I'm capable of. I'll be better off without you.
But by doing so, they really didn't take seriously the love they had for so many years together. After being married for so many years, what they did was a bit extreme.
This is also the biggest irony for Gu Jia. The relationship she has maintained for so many years is a joke.
Just the day before yesterday, he and Gu Jia were a model couple, incredibly affectionate. And just before that, at her 30th birthday party, he was loudly declaring his love and affection. And now, just a few days later, yesterday he was begging for forgiveness with sweet nothings, and today he's bringing him to Gu Jia? And on top of that, during the divorce agreement?
Maybe he's been oppressed by Gu Jia for too long? Once he's freed from his cage, will the rebellious Xu Huanshan anger Gu Jia?
It's impossible to say that he is so brainless. He and Gu Jia are not in a life-and-death situation. Lin Youyou must have played a role in it.
Xu Huanshan looked refreshed, and Lin Youyou looked proud. The two of them walked in front of Gu Jia hugging each other.
Standing in front of Gu Jia, Xu Huanshan said, "Gu Jia, let me introduce you. This is..."
To be honest, Gu Jia was a little sad and reluctant before. But when she saw the two people approaching from afar, she felt so sad that she lost all her feelings.
Of course, being angry is a temporary thing, and it will be over after a while.
No one took her seriously. She was sad about her past, sentimental, and thinking about so many useless things. What the hell was wrong? She just felt relieved.
"No need. I have no interest in knowing who she is."
Gu Jia had no face at all and didn't even look at the two of them.
She had no intention of teaching them a lesson. Given the situation, it was good enough that she didn't scold them.
Lin Youyou's face was a little ugly, but when she thought about how she had moved the legal wife down, she smiled triumphantly again. She was just a loser, so she magnanimously didn't bother with the two of them.
Xu Huanshan looked at Gu Jia's expression and realized that his goal had been achieved, and he felt a little relieved.
Just then the lawyer came out: "Sister Gu, this is the agreement I drafted according to your request. Please take a look and see if there are any problems."
Gu Jia took it and handed a copy to Xu Huanshan: "Take a look at it. If there is no problem, sign it. Hurry up, we have to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau soon."
Xu Huanshan read it carefully. This was related to his future sex life, so he couldn't be careless.
I discussed the division of property with Lin Youyou yesterday. She definitely wants more. But she's not stupid after all. They've worked hard together and basically own everything, so it should be 50-50. Gu Jia only wants the tea factory and some other things, which is enough.
If she made a scene and took legal action, Xu Huanshan wouldn't get the five cents. Xu Huanshan would still have a problem with her. The established facts couldn't be changed by her making a scene.
It was made clear yesterday that the agreement was drafted according to what was discussed last night, and there are some other minor details that are not important.
After reading it and finding no problems, Xu Huanshan signed it.
Gu Jia had finished her work long ago. After seeing him sign and put the contract away, she said, "See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau," picked up her bag and left.
She was now eager to finish the matter quickly and leave as soon as possible. She was so annoyed to see these two kids hanging around her.
There are a lot of people in the Civil Affairs Bureau. Whether it is divorce or marriage, there are always a lot of people.
After waiting for a long time, it was finally their turn.
The staff member also tried to persuade them as usual. After all, they should be persuaded to reconcile rather than to break up. Being together was fate. If he could persuade the couple to go back, he could even make two more bowls of dinner.
Both of them said that there was no need for persuasion, and that the divorce was final. The clerk shook his head and began to process the paperwork without saying a word.
The documents are complete, the divorce agreement has been signed, the division of the couple's shared property is clear, and there is no dispute over family property.
It went very smoothly.
With a "click", the divorce certificate was stamped and their marriage finally came to an end.
Xu Huanshan looked at the divorce certificate in front of him, feeling empty. He didn't feel the relief he had imagined, but rather a sense of loss.
If it weren't for Xu Huanshan's previous performance, Gu Jia might have cried a few times. But this time, she had no thoughts at all, and she felt truly relieved.
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Xu Huanshan forced himself to stay strong. How could he let Gu Jia see his weakness?
Gu Jia said to Xu Huanshan, who was holding on, "Go back and pack up. After you sell the house, transfer the money to me."
As for the two of them showing off their power before, to be honest, she had thought about telling Xu Huanshan that she was with Wang Yan as a way to fight back.
But after thinking about it, I gave up. On the one hand, it would cause unnecessary complications and could easily lead to trouble. On the other hand, this thing was not something glorious, so what was there to compare with?
Besides, there is no point in getting involved in so much nonsense and fighting for a momentary emotional dispute. The right thing to do is to live your own life well.
I called Wang Yan, asked him where he was, and then drove over to find him.
After Gu Jia left in the morning, Wang Yan set off.
At this moment, he was in a building not far from Junyue Mansion, named Tianyue Mansion.
Although the previous house was not small, it was more than enough for three people to live in. But the flat one had only one bedroom and a study, so it would definitely be inconvenient for him and Gu Jia to take care of the child.
Wang Yan had planned this long ago and had prepared the house long ago.
The house's market value was over 100 million yuan, and it was a pre-owned property. Major renovations would take a full year and a half, which was too long. He didn't have that much cash when he first arrived, so he later mortgaged his Grand Hyatt home for over 20 million yuan and bought it on the market. Of course, he wouldn't pay the full amount, so he took out a 50 million yuan loan. Wouldn't the interest on that money be higher than the loan?
This house is the penthouse that Gu Jia envied. It has a first-line river view and an excellent view. It is two floors above the 23rd floor and the top floor is an open-air garden. Overall it is quite good.
He had always preferred high places, because he particularly enjoyed the feeling of looking down, of commanding attention. Perhaps in the future, as his realm grew higher, he would see mountains as mountains again, and would prefer to be on the ground? Who could say for sure?
The previous decor was very fresh, which he found quite appealing and more in line with his aesthetic. After purchasing it, he made some changes to the layout, dividing it into functional areas for children, babysitting, fitness, storage, activities, and entertainment, and also renovated some of it.
Now everything has been cleaned up and it’s time to move in.
Gu Jia drove to Tianyue Mansion.
Wang Yan had already explained it, and after Gu Jia showed her ID downstairs, the property staff issued her an access card.
I swiped my card and took the elevator to the 23rd floor. Wang Yan was already waiting at the door.
When she entered the room and saw the situation inside, Gu Jia was a little surprised.
Gu Jia knew the quality of Tianyue Mansion, which was even better than Junyue Mansion. She also had a pretty good idea of what kind of home this top floor was. Although she knew Wang Yan's strength, it was not as shocking as the thought of him stepping on over 100 million yuan.
"The three of us will live here from now on. How about it? Do you like it?"
Gu Jia nodded, hugged Wang Yan and went up to kiss him. She was also excited. She had always envied the duplex that Mrs. Wang lived in before. If she could live here in the future, it would be a dream come true.
She took Wang Yan to look around the house from top to bottom and could find no fault with the layout, decoration and even the furnishings of the house. She was very satisfied.
The loneliness after the divorce disappeared without a trace. Xu Huanshan? You can go away.
She had been waiting in line at the Civil Affairs Bureau for quite some time. It was almost evening now, and Xu Ziyan was about to get out of school.
"Wang Yan, let's go pick up Zi Yan together."
"When we get back, we'll go buy some food nearby and I'll prepare a table."
Even though they have known each other for such a long time, Wang Yan has never tasted the food she cooked. Today, she wants him to see what a good wife and mother is.
"It can be considered as a celebration of my new life and our move into a new home."
Wang Yan nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's go."
He immediately drove away and took Gu Jia with him.
After picking up the kids and buying some groceries, I finally returned home.
Xu Ziyan was stunned when he entered the house. In the few short years he had lived there, he had never seen such a big house. "Wow, it's so big. Mom, Dad, are we going to live here from now on?"
Gu Jia nodded: "Yes, take a look, do you like it?"
The child was innocent and said honestly, "I like it."
"Where does Dad live then?"
Gu Jia was silent. She felt a little sorry for her child, and she didn't know how to tell her child.
Seeing her silence, Wang Yan stepped in: "Zi Yan, do you know what divorce means?"
He wasn't afraid of Xu Ziyan being hurt, as children these days tend to mature early. While he might not understand on a deeper level, he at least knew that his parents and he couldn't live together. Furthermore, Wang Yan had been with him for so long and knew him well.
Xu Ziyan heard Wang Yan's words: "Mom and Dad are divorced?"
Wang Yan nodded: "Your mother and your father were unhappy, so they separated. From now on, the three of us will live together."
"But if you miss your father, you can still go see him anytime."
It's time to check the results. I can't have taught you for so long in vain.
Some of the kids in the kindergarten had divorced parents, but he saw they were pretty happy and didn't take it seriously. His dad had also said he could see his dad anytime he wanted, it wasn't like he couldn't see him anymore. Besides, he liked Wang Yan more than Xu Huanshan, so he didn't take it seriously.
Xu Ziyan thought for a moment and said, "Oh, then I understand. I think it would be great for us to live together. I've wanted to be with Dad for a long time."
Children's enthusiasm is short-lived, and their memory isn't that strong yet. If Wang Yan puts in a little more effort, Xu Huanshan could make Xu Ziyan forget everything within a month.
Hearing that Xu Ziyan had no objection, Gu Jia glanced at Wang Yan and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay Ziyan, you and your father go check on your room, and Mom will go cook."
Then he went to the kitchen and started busying himself.
Wang Yan took Xu Ziyan to see his room, and there was a place dedicated to playing with toys. This made Xu Ziyan very happy, as he had never seen a room full of toys belonging to him.
Then the two of them wandered up and down the stairs. Xu Ziyan looked here and poked there, finding everything new.
After a while, Gu Jia finally finished cooking: "The meal is ready, you two stop hanging around, wash your hands and come eat."
Xu Ziyan was exhausted after going up and down the three floors. When he heard Gu Jia invite him to eat, he became quite enthusiastic.
After Wang Yan helped him wash his hands, the three of them sat at the table and started the first meal of their new life.
He picked up a piece of food for Xu Ziyan and said to Wang Yan, "Wang Yan, how about trying it?"
Wang Yan picked up his chopsticks, picked up a dish of braised carp, and smacked his lips. "Hmm, not bad, it's as good as the chefs in big restaurants."
Anyone would be happy to have their craftsmanship recognized and praised, let alone Wang Yan praising Gu Jia.
Gu Jia smiled gently and picked up another dish for Wang Yan with chopsticks: "If it tastes good, eat more. Come, try this."
"From now on, I will make it for you two often."
We talked and laughed during the meal and had a great time.
After dinner, Wang Yan and Gu Jia accompanied Xu Ziyan, and the three of them played for a long time.
Xu Ziyan was so immersed in the joy of moving into a big house that he couldn't help himself. The place was big enough, so he pulled the two of them to play hide-and-seek.
Gu Jia and Xu Ziyan had not felt this kind of harmonious atmosphere for a long time, so they were all very happy.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Xu Ziyan was tired. Gu Jia gave him a bath and coaxed him to sleep.
I went to the large bedroom on the top floor and found Wang Yan enjoying the scenery on the terrace.
The two looked at each other, and when Gu Jia cried out "Aiya", he picked her up.
Wang Yan’s daily cigarette, two words, great.
After some sweet talk, Wang Yan fell asleep contentedly while hugging Gu Jia.
