“However, don’t forget who was the one who brought harm to our Gu Family Group. If we really can’t take it anymore, even if you don’t bring it up, I’ll still divorce you. If we get a divorce, Selina will naturally rescind her sanctions against us. At the very least, your identity will be lost forever, like a rock that sinks into the ocean.”
Zhong Qianqian was so angry that she could barely breathe.
“Like a rock sinking into the ocean, fine! Then, so be it. I can just ask everyone myself!”
Gu Mingzhe laughed again.
“Qianqian, I’m afraid you don’t know this. Pushing aside the fact that there is a vast number of rich and powerful families in this world, there are many children who are abandoned by their families among the third-tier wealthy families in Emperor District alone. Are you sure you want to find them one by one?”
“I will start from the first-tier wealthy families.”
Zhong Qianqian’s words dimmed the light in Gu Mingzhe’s eyes.
“That’s a good lead. Then, I wish you success. Let’s go.”
Zhong Qianqian was stunned and asked like an idiot, “Where are we going?”
“Divorce.”
Zhong Qianqian, “…”
Jiang Shuwan forgot that her daughter was born stupid. That probably led to her forgetting to tell Zhong Qianqian what Zhong Kuijun told her.
Thus, Zhong Qianqian carried out what Zhong Kuijun considered to be the biggest taboo. She clearly had the upper hand, but Gu Mingzhe’s confident negotiation tactics rendered her utterly confused.
“I… I’m not the daughter from a first-tier wealthy family?”
Gu Mingzhe smiled. “You’re going to divorce me anyway, so why should I tell you? Who knows, maybe you are. You can try your luck with the Four Wealthiest Families after divorcing me. Maybe it’ll turn out to be true.”
When he said that, he managed to convince Zhong Qianqian otherwise.
If that was not the case, she would truly be lost on her way home without Gu Mingzhe leading the way.
When she recalled that she had not removed Zhong Nuannuan from the equation yet, Zhong Qianqian felt a wave of frustration rushing to her head.
Without Gu Mingzhe, she would not be able to find the power behind her. Without Gu Mingzhe, she would not be able to get rid of Zhong Nuannuan. Without Gu Mingzhe, even if she was the president’s daughter, it would be useless.
Finally, Zhong Qianqian relented.
After all, Gu Mingzhe was rather good-looking, and he was fiercely good in bed too.
“Then, will you tell me if I don’t divorce you?”
“Of course.” Gu Mingzhe was not particularly angry from the beginning. This because he realized that if he was truly angered, he would probably be angered to death by Zhong Qianqian one day.
“Okay, then I won’t divorce you. Go ahead and tell me.”
However, Zhong Qianqian was still thinking about divorcing him after she found out.
“Okay, since we’re using marriage as a bargaining chip, and you’ve already taken out your bargaining chip, I’ll take out mine as well.”
With that, Gu Mingzhe took out a contract without even needing to go upstairs.
“Sign this, and I’ll tell you the truth behind your family background.”
Puzzled, Zhong Qianqian took the contract was drafted much earlier. Upon closer inspection, her eyes widened.
It was written on the contract that she paid Xue Miqi to kill Zhong Nuannuan. After she was sent to the police station, she signed an agreement with Gu Mingzhe, telling him that she was actually the daughter of a first-tier wealthy family. If Gu Mingzhe could save her and frame Xue Miqi, she would marry Gu Mingzhe. The contract also stated that if she divorced Gu Mingzhe halfway, she would have to pay Gu Mingzhe 200 billion bucks worth of assets.
“But… I didn’t send someone to kill Zhong Nuannuan!”
