Long Yubei, despite his grandmother’s fierce gaze, still answered, "I won’t divorce."
Gu Lili spoke, "I’ve said it, this marriage has to end. If you don’t agree to divorce, I’ll sue. I’m not the same Gu Lili who married you before, Long Yubei. If we go to court and this gets out, do you think you will win? By then, the Long Family’s reputation will be exposed to the public, your company’s stocks will drop, but none of that will change the outcome. I advise you not to be so naive; you don’t love me..."
"I love you!" Long Yubei’s eyes were bloodshot, "Gu Lili, I’ve fallen in love with you now."
Gu Lili’s eyelashes trembled, then she chuckled lightly, "Is that so? That’s too bad. I used to love you too, but from the moment I fell, I stopped loving you. The timing has already passed. Now, in my eyes, you are nothing. That’s just the way I am. When I liked you, you could treat me however and I’d still want to be with you. When I give up on you, it means I’ve truly given up. Long Yubei, if you insist on not signing, there are many ways I can divorce you. Legal means are the primary way; if all else fails, I can use the methods I used on Gu Xichen’s father against you. Do you want that?"
"Sister-in-law, please give my brother one more chance; he really doesn’t want to divorce," Long Tianjiao pleaded anxiously, rubbing her hands together, "Please, this is our mother’s fault. My brother is really having a tough time."
"I won’t change my mind."
Long Yubei looked at her, his heart bleeding at this moment, because she was so resolute, so unwilling to look back and so determined to cut off all ties with him.
He deeply understood that whatever he said now wouldn’t matter to her ears because she was truly disappointed in him.
His hand finally picked up the pen and slowly signed his name on both documents.
Gu Lili reached out to take the divorce agreement, but Long Yubei held her hand, their eyes meeting, "Can’t you reconsider?"
She jerked her hand holding the document sharply, then stood up, "I will not reconsider. I’ll see you at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Her figure walked away proudly, without looking back.
Old Madam Long cursed at Dragon Mother, "All of this is your doing! Utterly foolish! Someone come!" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
A few bodyguards entered, "Old Madam."
"Take down your Madam for family discipline."
Dragon Mother, her face pale with fright, hurriedly knelt and pleaded, "Mother, I was foolish, I was deceived by others, please spare me."
Old Madam Long’s expression remained unchanged, instructing the bodyguards, "What are you waiting for, take her away, carry out the discipline as it should be!"
Long Tian Jiao sat there, distressed at seeing her mother being dragged away, but was helpless and unable to do anything.
"Beibei, don’t be disheartened, even divorced, you can still chase after Lili and win her back. The psychological trauma this has brought her is profound; Grandmother understands her decision, but we, the Long Family, must also show our stance. We have wronged her, right? If you still want to be with her, in the future, show it to her and win her heart over again."
Long Yubei’s gaze fell to the ground, "Grandmother, can’t you see from what she just said? She probably won’t ever be with me again in this life."
"If you really cannot be together, then let go of your feelings. If she is not destined to be the daughter-in-law of the Long Family, then truly, we cannot force it."
