The next day.
When Wang Yan came back from running, Gu Jia had already prepared breakfast.
After waking up Xu Ziyan, the three of them had breakfast together.
After sending the child to school, Wang Yan asked Gu Jia to bring all the documents and then drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Gu Jia was quite surprised by Wang Yan's decisiveness. She didn't expect that Wang Yan would take her to register the day after the divorce.
As an orphan and a widow, she wanted to remarry. Although with her beauty and charm, it would be easy for her to find an ordinary man, she had to do it. However, wanting to find an elite with good conditions was no different from dreaming.
To be honest, she had considered just following Wang Yan. She also believed that Wang Yan would treat her and the child well. As for having affairs, after experiencing betrayal once, she should have grown up a lot and see things more clearly.
Even someone like Xu Huanshan cheated on his wife, not to mention Wang Yan, who was two miles ahead of him. She couldn't restrain Wang Yan.
Although she knew that the marriage certificate was basically useless to Wang Yan, she was still very happy to have their relationship legally confirmed.
Wang Yan registered his marriage with her because, on the one hand, he felt sorry for not marrying Liu Sihui, and on the other hand, he wanted to experience it. Although not registering would make him live the same as Gu Jia, and it wouldn't affect his work, the sense of ceremony was still important, at least it would look like it was real.
The Civil Affairs Bureau was still crowded, but fortunately they went early and finished the procedures before lunch break.
Looking at the red book in his hand, Wang Yan really didn't feel anything special.
He analyzed that perhaps it was because he was in the film world and subjectively didn't identify with it, so he didn't have that sense of responsibility. Or maybe it was because he wasn't bound by moral constraints and could do whatever he wanted? Or maybe it was because he had no worries about food and clothing and no pressure?
Anyway, he was calm and that's it.
"Let's go, find a place to eat, and then go to my company."
"good"
Gu Jia was incredibly happy after getting her marriage certificate. As for the wedding? She didn't even mention it, let alone a bicycle.
The two of them had a casual bite, and in the afternoon Wang Yan took Gu Jia to his company.
He clapped his hands to the staff to ask them to be quiet for a while. Then Wang Yan introduced Gu Jia and asked them to recognize her.
After the introduction, ignoring the whispers of his men, the two came to his office and asked her to sit on the sofa.
Wang Yan took out a few contracts from the desk behind him and handed them to Gu Jia: "Take a look, sign it if there is no problem."
Gu Jia flipped through the contract in her hand. This was the contract Wang Yan had promised her. It included the property rights of the two houses, Junyue Mansion and Tianyue Mansion, as well as some other cash and stock assets. The two houses alone were worth more than 150 million yuan, so the value was probably 200 million yuan.
She was stunned by Wang Yan's generosity.
"This is too much. I can't have it."
"Take it, I promised you, and besides, will you leave me?"
Seeing her shake her head, Wang Yan continued, "That's it, isn't this thing better than a marriage certificate?"
"Besides, both houses are mortgaged, so the debt isn't as much as you think. But don't worry, I'll pay it off as soon as possible."
"This is the guarantee I give you. Take it with confidence and sign it."
Gu Jia had a ton of issues, but Wang Yan didn't seem to mind them. It all came down to money, and he had plenty of it. Money was just a number to Wang Yan; no matter how much, it didn't matter. He'd immediately convinced Gu Jia that he was using it wisely.
She is proficient in the essential skills of a housewife, is a decent person, has some skills, and can do her job well. She is not as trouble-making as Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin, so Wang Yan is quite satisfied with her.
As long as there is a little sincerity, other minor flaws are nothing. After all, he has to experience countless women, and in-depth contact with women with different experiences and personalities is a kind of experience.
Seeing that he was firm and resolute, Gu Jia didn't act pretentiously and picked up the pen to start signing.
Wang Yan is different from Xu Huanshan. He is too strong. Gu Jia only truly feels the feeling of being cared for in Wang Yan.
After she signed and put the contract away, Wang Yan said, "Okay, that's it."
"I have some things to take care of here, so I'll leave you alone. Here are the car keys, drive back."
"We're still short of a lot of daily necessities at home. If you have time, go shopping and pick some."
"If you don't find it interesting, then let's go together tomorrow when Ziyan has a day off."
Gu Jia nodded, said okay, kissed Wang Yan and left.
After going out, he drove Wang Yan's A8 and called Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin, making an appointment to have coffee together and chat.
After years of hard work, it was not as good as what Wang Yan gave her casually. In addition, she had always had ambiguous feelings towards Wang Yan. She needed someone to share her excitement.
She wasn't trying to show off, she was just sharing. Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable to hold it in, and it would easily make her sick.
After being a housewife for so many years, it can’t be said that all my former friends and colleagues are still there, that’s basically it, which is why I found them.
Although Wang Yan had some unpleasant experiences with Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin on her birthday before, Gu Jia thought that they were two different things.
People have weight in other people's hearts, and Zhong Xiaoqin is certainly more important in Gu Jia's heart.
She and Zhong Xiaoqin had known each other for so many years and had been through so much together, so there was genuine affection between them. Knowing her, she knew she would be fine with just a few words about her relationship with Wang Yan. Wang Yan and Zhong Xiaoqin had no connection, so she could just keep quiet about it. While it would have an impact, it certainly wouldn't be excessive.
Wang Manni is just like that. She doesn't care. Gu Jia knew from their last conflict that she and Wang Yan had an affair. Besides, there's no deep relationship between them. They're just plastic sisters who got along well. If they can't, then get lost. But based on Gu Jia's understanding of Wang Manni, she's likely to pretend nothing happened.
It is also convenient for Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin to skip work and slack off. One goes out to accompany a client and the other goes out to visit. They have plenty of excuses.
The three of them gathered in a coffee shop they often went to, not far from Grand Hyatt Residence.
They each ordered a drink, and after the waiter left, Gu Jia spoke up: "I'm divorced."
"Ah"*x2, the two were shocked by what Gu Jia suddenly said.
They were so loving a few days ago on their 30th birthday, and now they’re getting divorced in just a few days?
"What's going on?" Zhong Xiaoqin blurted out.
Wang Manni, who was standing by, also agreed: "Yeah, Gu Jia, there wasn't any sign before. This is too sudden."
Then Gu Jia told them the whole story.
"How could Xu Huanshan be like this? He's such a scumbag." After listening to Gu Jia's story, Zhong Xiaoqin felt indignant. She had known Xu Huanshan since Gu Jia was in a relationship, and she had never thought he would be this kind of person after all these years.
Wang Manni was not familiar with Xu Huanshan, but seeing how affectionate they were just a few days ago, she thought it was shameful for him to cheat on her immediately afterwards. Without a second thought, she just followed Zhong Xiaoqin in criticizing him.
So, the three of them started a criticism meeting for Xu Huanshan, with Gu Jia talking about her mental journey from beginning to end, and the other two were responsible for scolding her.
When women start scolding, they're really vicious, their spit flying everywhere. Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin were about to send Xu Huanshan back to his mother's womb. Finally, they finished their conversation by gulping down a glass of water.
Then they talked about the division of property, and Gu Jia explained to them how it would be divided.
"Gu Jia, where is Zi Yan? What should we do with Zi Yan?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked.
"The child is with me."
Thinking of Gu Jia raising a child alone, Zhong Xiaoqin was about to cry: "What are you going to do in the future, Gu Jia?"
Wang Manni also looked at Gu Jia with a hint of pity. They both knew how difficult life was with a child after divorce.
Looking at their concerned eyes, Gu Jia smiled: "Don't worry, your life will only get better in the future."
The two were a little confused by Gu Jia's words. Can orphans and widows live a better life? Divorce is too shocking. Is she crazy?
Gu Jia felt uncomfortable with the way they looked at her as if she was mentally retarded, and said helplessly: "Don't look at me like that, I'm normal. Do you remember Wang Yan?"
Needless to say, Wang Manni was definitely impressed and looked at Gu Jia in surprise.
When Zhong Xiaoqin heard Wang Yan, she recalled the unpleasantness of the previous few days.
He frowned and asked, "The one from your birthday party? What happened to him?"
Without saying a word, Gu Jia took out the marriage certificate she had just obtained in the morning from the bag next to her and placed it in front of the two of them.
When they saw the smiling photo of Gu Jia and Wang Yan on the marriage certificate, the two had different reactions.
How could they have imagined that Gu Jia got divorced yesterday and would get married today, not to mention that her husband was Wang Yan.
After seeing this, Wang Manni's body became noticeably unnatural and extremely stiff. She truly regretted it. He was so rich, and even Gu Jia, who was raising a child, didn't despise him. What was she lacking? Wang Yan was just ordinary-looking, rich, but not what she wanted in a partner. She truly regretted judging him based on appearance, and regretted having casually slept with Wang Yan.
Gu Jia saw Wang Manni's reaction clearly, but she didn't say anything. At the birthday party, Wang Yan clearly looked down on Wang Manni, so why did she have to do so many useless things? Besides, it was her who started the trouble, and if Wang Yan really wanted to, she couldn't stop him.
Zhong Xiaoqin was much simpler: "Why did you register your marriage with him?"
She spoke without thinking, and only after she finished speaking did she realize that she had gone a bit too far. Gu Jia can marry whoever she wants. It is Gu Jia who will live with that person, not her, Zhong Xiaoqin.
He quickly waved his hands and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Gu Jia, I didn't mean that. I..."
Gu Jia knew she didn't mean it, so she didn't let her say more: "No, I know what you mean. But he is very good to me and Zi Yan, and Zi Yan likes him very much."
She then took out the gift agreement she had just signed from her bag and placed it on the table: "Other worries are unnecessary. Take a look at this."
The two of them went over the contract again.
After flipping through it, they stopped talking.
Wang Manni looked at Gu Jia with envy, jealousy and hatred on her face. She regretted it so much that she wanted to slap herself twice. Then she went out, turned right, walked straight, and dived into the Huangpu River.
Zhong Xiaoqin stopped nagging. What could be more touching than 200 million? Why is she still saying so many useless things?
Seeing the reactions of the two, Gu Jia was satisfied. She had been holding it in for a long time, and now she finally felt relieved.
He didn't interrupt them and drank his coffee leisurely.
Well, today's coffee is especially sweet and delicious.
After Gu Jia left, Wang Yan dealt with some company matters and arranged several transactions.
After finishing the work, I sat in a chair and thought about what to do next.
Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia have divorced, but he and Lin Youyou have not yet married, so they are not really together.
This is actually very easy to do. When Xu Huanshan finds out that Gu Jia and Wang Yan have registered their marriage, he will probably marry Lin Youyou without saying anything. Or, with Lin Youyou's performance, she can fool Xu Huanshan into agreeing to marry her.
I think it will be completed after a while.
What he needed to think about was how to deal with those four bastards who called him uneducated.
Old Wang felt so wronged. He didn't even want to strangle them, but they came up and stepped on him.
He's not pretending. Isn't it natural for him to be unfriendly? Who do I know about you two? I'm not your father, why should I indulge your bad habits?
When he was exposed, he got angry and said that he was uneducated, and the four of them collectively confirmed his mistake.
Then you can't blame Mr. Wang. In order not to let them feel comfortable, he wrote the word "Wang" backwards.
Chen Yu was a frontline reporter who also loved taking photos. After thinking about it, he came up with an idea.
He called his two subordinates and asked them to find Chen Yu's contact information, and also gave them some instructions.
Then he called his staff and asked them to acquire a new media company with complete paperwork and a sound structure. Setting up a team for such a thing would take a long time, so it would be more cost-effective to acquire one.
After a while, Wang Yan received a message on his mobile phone with Chen Yu's contact information.
Just give him a call and hug him.
Chen Yu has been unlucky recently. His work is not going well, his marriage is not going well, and he is not good at anything he does.
He was distracted by his phone's vibration, and seeing it was an unfamiliar number, he ignored it and hung up. But just as he hung up, another call came in, still from the same number.
I've been feeling a bit impatient lately: "Hello, who is this?"
Wang Yan didn't care. He'd been scolded for calling to sell a house, so this wasn't a big deal. "Hello, is this Chen Yu?"
"It's me. Who are you? Is there something wrong? If not, hang up."
Wang Yan asked repeatedly, revealing that he was in a very bad mood. "I work in finance and have recently been thinking about starting a self-media business. I saw the news you posted about the mother and her two children. I'm very interested in you and would like to chat with you."
"I wonder if you have time."
Chen Yu thought about it and felt that there was no harm in chatting, and it might also be an opportunity.
"We can chat. Tonight at 7 o'clock, Eternal Cafe."
"Okay, let's meet and talk then." Wang Yan hung up the phone.
Wang Yan's plan was simple: cut off Zhong Xiaoqin's escape route. If Zhong Xiaoyang and his family were clean, law-abiding citizens, then that would be fine. If not, then he and the connections he relied on would be taken down. As for Zhong Xiaoqin, he would be left to fend for herself, to see if she had a tough life.
I have never met Chen Yu and Wang Yan, but I have some understanding of them from watching TV dramas before.
It wasn't that Chen Yu didn't want to change, but he was burdened with too much. His elderly mother, his naive younger brother, his immature wife, and the mortgage and car loans were weighing him down.
When his father abandoned his wife and children, the three of them had to rely on each other for survival. You can imagine how difficult it was. Of course, I don't want to sympathize with him. Those who need sympathy are old noses. There is no worst, only worse.
He just wants stability, to study hard, work hard, and live a good life. He just wants stability. He doesn't dare to slam the table and scold his boss, doesn't dare to lose his job easily, doesn't dare to try new things easily, and doesn't dare to pursue his dreams. This is understandable.
According to normal logic, Chen Yu is in his thirties, divorced, not proactive, not enterprising, not confident, has no future, and no money. It would be very difficult for him to find a partner.
All Wang Yan needed to do was give him the courage to change everything, give him a helping hand, stir up his latent desires, and let him experience the world of mortals. He believed that by then, he would be dazzled by the dazzling array of flowers. Zhong Xiaoqin? You better get lost.
I sat in the office all afternoon, taking care of some things. Seeing that the time was almost up, I sent a message to Gu Jia, telling her to come back later. After all, it was the first day of getting the marriage certificate, so it was a bit awkward.
Wang Yan went out and took a taxi to the agreed place.
When he arrived, Chen Yu was nearby and had been waiting there for a while.
Sitting in front of Chen Yu, Wang Yan extended his hand: "Hello, Wang Yan. I'm the one calling you."
"Hello, what would you like to drink?" Chen Yu shook hands with him.
"No need for that. Let's not be so pretentious and get to the point."
Chen Yu indicated that he was all ears.
"I've learned about your situation, and you're a good person. A sense of responsibility and conscience are very important, and that's why I came to you."
"But your interpersonal skills are quite different. You must have been bullied a lot, right?"
Chen Yu didn't say anything, this was the fact.
"I don't have any of that nonsense here. Just work hard and don't mess around with useless things."
Chen Yu did not comment on this statement which basically confirmed him.
"Another thing is this news. I personally feel that we should seek truth from facts and not overly pursue publicity."
"Pay more attention to the true feelings of humanity that go unnoticed. In fact, there are always many unsung heroes who are silently and selflessly dedicating themselves. We should discover, promote and praise them."
"At the same time, many tragedies are happening around us, just like the mother and her two children mentioned on the phone earlier. We should also do our part and call on more caring people to help them."
“Delivering truth, goodness, and beauty is what I want to do.”
"What do you think, Chen Yu?"
This is all said according to Chen Yu's ideas. We have to fool him.
Chen Yu was so excited. These words really touched his heart. He had his own ideas, but his position was low and his words were not taken seriously.
"I think so too..." Taotao started talking at once, and began to talk about examples from his daily work, accusing them of their practices.
