How Should I Tell the Boss That I Want a Divorce? - Chapter 18

Gu Jinhan drove very steadily and arrived at the old house in a short time.

The old mansion was built on the hillside and covered a large area. It looked very grand from a distance. Several generations of the ancestors of the Gu Mansion were imperial officials, and there were also officials who were very prominent. This house was left over a hundred years ago. Although it has been renovated many times, it still carries the old heritage.

They arrived early, and only a few cars were parked at the door of the old house. Gu Jinhan parked the car and called Xiao Li to get the Guzheng in, and then walked in with the mother and son.

Entering the gate, the first thing you see is the rockery. Behind the rockery, there is a wooden bridge with gurgling water underneath, and a variety of precious flowers and plants inside. The environment is very elegant, like a moment of entering a paradise from a noisy city.

Every time I come here, Zhao Xiaotong feels that the air here is excellent.

Grandma Gu lives in the main courtyard, a little bit away from the main entrance. It takes ten minutes to walk. Gu Jinhan is a little relieved when she sees that she is walking steadily on the way without twisting her ankle.

Grandma Gu was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a few guests. Zhao Xiaotong realized that her mother had already arrived. She knew all those who arrived early. They were all Grandma Gu’s proud students, who followed them in college. Ph.D. from her old man.

The few of them have a good relationship with Zhao’s mother. Naturally, they knew about Zhao Xiaotong’s marrying Gu Jinhan. Seeing that they had brought Haohao over, one of them waved to Zhao Xiaotong and said with a smile: “I just talked about you for a few years. No, Xiaotong is so big in a blink of an eye, this is Haohao, right?”

She turned her head and said to the old lady: “Teacher, you are really blessed to be too grandma if your body is still tough. This little guy is too delicate and really inherited the excellent genes of his parents. I have never seen it before. Such a beautiful little boy.”

Hao Hao was a little awkward to be praised, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Old Mrs. Gu smiled very kindly, she was more happy than she was praised. She smiled and grabbed Haohao’s little hand, boasting to everyone: “Haohao is not only good-looking, but also takes first place in the exam. .”

Zhao Xiaotong blinked, with a look of surprise, as if he didn’t expect him to be so naughty and his academic performance could be so good.

Hao Hao obviously still remembered what she thought about his bad temper. Seeing her looking over curiously, Hao Hao immediately turned her small face away, her small appearance was very proud and coquettish.

Zhao Xiaotong touched the tip of his nose.

The old lady beckoned to her with a smile, Zhao Xiaotong walked up to her and called grandma affectionately.

Seeing that she was in good spirits, the old lady patted her side and smiled: “Sit down and let grandma take a look, everyone sit down too.”

Zhao Xiaotong sat down with the others. She sat next to the old lady, said hello to her grandma, and then greeted the others one by one.

Gu Jinhan talked to his grandmother and went to the second floor to talk to the old man.

Obviously, Haohao didn’t like to be upstairs. Seeing that there were no children around him, he sneaked away while everyone was not paying attention. After talking to grandma for a while, Zhao Xiaotong said: “Is grandpa upstairs? I’ll talk to grandpa. ”

When Zhao Xiaotong came to the old house when she was a child, she would accompany her mother to say hello to him, not to mention that she is now Gu Jinhan’s wife. Now that she is here, she naturally has to come and meet him.

“Go ahead.”

Mrs. Gu still remembers her amnesia, which Xiao Li led the way.

Zhao Xiaotong followed Xiao Li to the second floor.

Old man Gu is a very strict old man. When he was a child, Zhao Xiaotong was afraid of him. He always felt that Gu Jinhan’s unspoken laughter followed him. Now that he grows up, he is not afraid anymore. No matter how serious he is, he can’t be fierce to her. On the contrary, he treats her. It’s kind of gentle.

Under the leadership of Xiao Li, she went directly to the study. When she came over, the study was open. Grandpa and Gu Jinhan were discussing business affairs. When she saw her, Gu Jinhan’s voice paused. The father also raised his head and said to Gu Jinhan: ” I’ll talk about it later.”

Zhao Xiaotong waved his hand quickly: “Grandpa don’t care about me, you should talk about it, I will read the book first here.”

The old man nodded: “Then you sit on the sofa for a while.”

There is a rest area in the study. In addition to the sofa, there is also a small coffee table. Haohao is lying on the sofa now, and the little guy is playing games with Gu Jinhan’s mobile phone.

Zhao Xiaotong walked towards the sofa. She was curious about what Hao Hao was playing, and she sat beside him, poking her head to look at his screen. Hao Hao was playing chicken.

She had just glanced twice before he died.

He turned his head and glared at Zhao Xiaotong. The little guy had dark eyes. He looked very cute, but he had to be fierce, like a little wolf cub who had only been robbed of food.

Zhao Xiaotong is a little innocent, and it’s not easy to play with herself, so she should be blamed?

She downloaded this chicken game a few days ago, but Gu Jinhan still kept it. She raised her chin and motioned him to give her the phone.

Haohao didn’t listen to her, the little guy was obviously still arguing with her, put away the phone, jumped off the sofa, and snuggled into the arms of the grandfather.

The old man pampered him very much, held him and rubbed his head before continuing to talk to Gu Jinhan.

Zhao Xiaotong glared at Haohao. She was bored on the sofa and listened to a few words with her ears erected. Seeing that they were talking about overseas sales, she felt quite boring, so she just picked up the phone and played.

There are also games downloaded on her mobile phone. After opening one and playing two games, she saw Gu Jinhan walking towards her: “Grandpa is talking to you, what are you playing, so focused?”

Zhao Xiaotong found out that they had finished talking. She quickly put away her phone and smiled embarrassedly. Gu Jinhan answered her: “Grandpa asked if you drink tea.”

Zhao Xiaotong discovered that there was one more person in the room. She was holding a white jade pot with a crane in her hand. Before she could answer, Gu Jinhan made a decision for her: “Aunt Zhang doesn’t need to pour her, she drinks tea. Insomnia easily.”

Zhao Xiaotong was actually a little thirsty. He looked at Aunt Zhang only pouring a cup and backed out. The old man saw her subconscious little expression, a little funny: “It’s okay to drink less, take this cup and drink it.”

Zhao Xiaotong waved his hand quickly: “No, no, grandpa, drink it quickly, don’t let it to me.”

How dare she take food from the old man’s mouth?

Zhao Xiaotong walked up to the old man and asked him how he was. After a brief chat, he didn’t care when Gu Jinhan went out. Unexpectedly, after a while, he came in again, holding two cups of boiled water in his hand, and one cup was passed to him. After Haohao, a cup was given to her.

The old man knew that their relationship was good, so naturally he wouldn’t say much.

Zhao Xiaotong realized that he had gone out to pour water. Although he was a bit cold, he had to say that sometimes he was really careful. Zhao Xiaotong couldn’t help feeling a little while drinking water.

After a few brief conversations, the old man finally said: “Let’s go, let’s go downstairs, too. It’s getting late, and the guests should probably be there.”

Zhao Xiaotong nodded obediently, and stretched out his hand to take the old man’s arm: “Grandpa, let me help you go. I have to go down the stairs later.”

“Why do you need help? I’m only 70 years old, and it’s not that I can’t move anymore.” Although he was very disgusted, seeing her so caring, he felt very helpful in his heart, and he didn’t break away.

Zhao Xiaotong helped him out.

Many guests have already arrived in the living room.

The old lady has her seventieth birthday this year, and she has invited many relatives and friends. The Gu family’s identity is displayed here, and most of the people who come are decent figures.

Celebrities from all walks of life gathered here, many of whom were handsome men and beautiful women, who came with their families. One is to celebrate the old lady’s birthday, to brush up on her good feelings, and the other is to make friends with some noble people and get to know more top-level people. Why not?

When Zhao Xiaotong helped the old man go downstairs, Gu Jinhan walked beside her, obviously not worried that she stepped on high heels downstairs, subconsciously guarding her.

Zhao Xiaotong was in a silver-white dress, while he was wearing a silver-white suit. When the two walked together, the men were handsome and the women were beautiful, and they were exceptionally well-matched. Everyone’s eyes were attracted by them.

Although everyone knows that Gu Jinhan is married, except for those close to him, no one else knows who he married, and no one has seen Zhao Xiaotong attend a banquet with him. Seeing Zhao Xiaotong’s moment, everyone can’t help but move.

Zhao Xiaotong is undoubtedly beautiful. Not only is her facial features extremely exquisite, but she also has a very good figure. The v-neckline outlines a slender and white swan neck, and her small waist is not enough to grasp. When she stops there, she looks like a foolish mortal. Little fairy, even if Gu Jinhan stood beside her, she was not inferior.

What surprised everyone was naturally not her beauty. After all, there were more beautiful girls in this circle, but no one could personally help the old man downstairs like her.

The old man of the Gu family has a bad temper. His sternness and unpleasantness are well-known throughout the upper circle. When everyone saw this scene, it was clear that the girl had been recognized by the old man.

After the three of them hugged, everyone found that Gu Jinhan was still following a little boy.

At the age of five or six years old, a small face is also very good-looking. Everyone remembered a rumor that Gu Jinhan had a child when he was twenty.

Is it true?

Everyone couldn’t help but look at Zhao Xiaotong a few more times. The more they looked, the more they felt that she was too young. She died at the age of twenty. Not only is she not like a person who has given birth to a child, she must have not walked out of the ivory tower?

The eyes of the young people were a little surprised, and they only felt that they had missed the opportunity to eat melons.

The quick response was already hurried over and chatted with the old man and Gu Jin. Hao Hao was a child and no one cared about him. He followed the old man to greet the elders and went to the corner to find a sofa to play games.

When he was having fun, two young girls stopped not far away with red wine. There was a long table beside them. On the table were various champagne, mousse cakes, macarons and other food.

They were obviously hungry, so they ate a piece each while they were not paying attention, and went gossiping as they ate.

One of them is still shocking Zhao Xiaotong’s age question: “The girl next to Mr. Gu can’t be Mrs. Gu? I just saw which star I thought it was. This is too young, is there twenty?”

Another replied: “Didn’t he introduce everything to others? He said it was Mrs. Gu.”

“That’s definitely not the first Mrs. Gu. Isn’t there a little boy next to Mr. Gu just now? Seeing that he is five or six years old, this new Mrs. Gu is quite capable, and she managed to squeeze out her original partner. Joy.”

The other person also doubted Zhao Xiaotong’s identity, and said sourly: “It’s not just the favor of Mr. Gu, someone toasted to her just now, you didn’t see how much Mr. Gu maintained her? The wine was drunk for her.”

“I thought that Mr. Gu was loyal to women, and he was loyal to marriage. Who would have expected that he would have changed people soon. I don’t believe that there will be love in a wealthy family anymore.”

Another person replied: “It’s funny if you believe it. Tsk, it’s just that the child is poor. If you have a stepmother, you will definitely have a stepdad in the future. What good days will you have in the future, saying that it is a wealthy young master, but it just listens to the scenery. That’s it.”

The sympathetic child was sitting on the sofa with a dark face. He was not tall, and when he was lying on the sofa, everyone could not see him. The two still talked very cheerfully, but Hao Hao was a little bit playful. No more games.

He had a bad temper. In addition to his young age, he was unhappy at the moment, and he didn’t know how to forbear. He stood up with a sullen face. He showed his head aggressively, and the two people who were only a few steps away from the sofa naturally noticed. he.

Haohao’s facial features are very delicate, he looks like a doll, and just stayed next to Gu Jinhan for a while. The two young girls naturally had an impression of him, and they couldn’t help holding their breath. The Lord heard it.

Haohao walked past them without squinting. When passing by them, he whispered, “I don’t have a stepmother.”

He thought he had clarified, and the two young girls looked at the little figure he was leaving, but they were inexplicably more sincere and sympathetic.

After he left, one of them couldn’t help but said: “It’s useless if you don’t want to admit it anymore. I will marry and go home. This child is too pitiful. The stubborn little figure makes people feel distressed. In the future, it will be true when we get married. Keep your eyes open, otherwise when the divorce, the adult patted his **** and left, leaving the child to suffer.”

Obviously, Haohao didn’t want to be sympathized. To prove that he was born of Zhao Xiaotong, he took the initiative to walk to Zhao Xiaotong. Dad said that he looks a little like his mother. When everyone sees their looks, no one will misunderstand. Right?

Unexpectedly, his actions were misunderstood and turned into an obnoxious stepmother. In order to please my father, he had to follow the stepmother and act as a good baby.

Suddenly it was even more pitiful.

It is rare for Zhao Xiaotong to see Haohao actively sticking to her side. She smiled and curled her eyebrows, and couldn’t help squeezing Haohao’s small face: “Is it boring?”

She smiled too brightly, and Hao Hao looked at her like it, just snorted: “Can you always use your hands? Dad doesn’t pinch me.”

The slightly unhappy expression when he turned his head, falling in the eyes of others confirmed their guess. Zhao Xiaotong didn’t know what the young people had made up. She just greeted many people with her grandfather and Gu Jinhan, and walked away. Feet hurt.

She stretched out her hand to support Haohao’s shoulders, took him a few steps into the corner, and whispered: “I’m going to be exhausted, don’t move, support me.”

Haohao frowned in disgust: “Then you still wear high heels?”

Zhao Xiaotong ignored what he said, and the dress was all on. If she came over wearing flat shoes, she would definitely be ugly. She supported Haohao’s shoulder, tilted her body strength slightly towards him, and let her left foot rest. one time.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a lady with delicate makeup came towards her. She was curled with waves on her head, her lips were painted with Death Barbie powder, which looked pretty at first glance.

“Zhao Xiaotong? Is it really you?” She raised her chin, her expression somewhat subtle.

Zhao Xiaotong blinked, faintly feeling that the woman in front of him was a bit familiar, she thought about it carefully, and then remembered who this person is, she is Mo Jia.

She also belongs to the Conservatory of Music. Her family is very rich and proud. She often skipped classes at the beginning, and from time to time she went out racing with the wealthy second-generation group around her.

But the two didn’t deal with each other a bit, because in freshman year, Mo Jia threatened to chase the president of the student union. Unexpectedly, he liked Zhao Xiaotong. At that time, she felt sorry for Zhao Xiaotong several times, but was later severely taught by her family.

Only then did she know that Zhao Xiaotong’s parents were both professors of University B. They were very famous. They were not allowed to bully others because they were afraid of trouble. She didn’t bother to make things difficult for her anymore. After returning to school, she fell in love with him again. Boy, there is no intersection between the two.

“Why are you here?” She didn’t know that Zhao Xiaotong was Mrs. Gu. She couldn’t help but sneered when she saw her. Want to take the opportunity to catch a rich second-generation at the banquet? Going to college, fashion is quite pure, and now my nature is exposed?”

Zhao Xiaotong thinks that her mouth is dirty, so he doesn’t bother to care about her. He just faintly replied: “A few years have passed, but you have not changed. You still catch something and bite like before. Let’s have a snack and don’t look at what it is today. occasion.”

After she finished speaking, she wanted to take Haohao away. Obviously she didn’t want to make a big mess. After all, today is the birthday of the old lady.

Hao Hao obviously had this scruples too, but he glared at the woman coldly. She was beautifully dressed, but her mind was so ugly. How could there be anyone at the banquet?

Mo Jia saw that their eyes were so angry that their chests rose and fell slightly, which annoyed Zhao Xiaotong even more.

She was obviously in the same family, but she could reveal a sense of self-confidence from her bones, and her contemptuous eyes really angered her. What is she worthy of confidence?

How good is piano guzheng? Haven’t you been out of fame in the past few years? Otherwise, they won’t come here to fawn on people.

There is no luck for her. After graduation, she married a rich second generation of equivalent status.

Her husband took her to this banquet this time, just to let her get to know the rich wives at the top level. If she is lucky, she might be able to get acquainted in front of Mrs. Gu.

Although Mo Jia was annoyed, she was obviously scrupulous about the occasion. She lowered her voice and mocked: “Do you also know what occasion this is? This is where you can come? But with a bit of beauty, she really takes herself seriously. Tell me about such a lack of men, otherwise I kindly introduce one to you?”

Zhao Xiaotong’s expression became cold. When he was about to go back, he saw Gu Jinhan walking towards them. He seemed to have heard a few words, and his expression was colder than her: “Who do you want to introduce to my wife?”

Gu Jinhan was dressed in a silver suit. He was tall and straight, with deep and three-dimensional features. When his face was cold, the temperature of his body dropped by more than one degree. Although it was cold, he was still the most eye-catching man in the audience. Whether it was his handsome face or his overall bearing, he was embarrassed by others.

Naturally, Mo Jia had met him, but he didn’t expect him to come over, and even call Zhao Xiaotong his wife?

How can this be! How could Zhao Xiaotong be Mrs. Gu?
