"What exactly happened? Speak!"
Yu Wei's heart trembled as she looked at Gu Zixuan, knowing nothing should be hidden from her.
But today's matter...
With a bitter smile, she found herself at a loss for words.
The silence gradually exhausted Yu Wei's patience. Just as she was about to pull out her phone to ask He Qimo directly, Gu Zixuan spoke up calmly.
"He got another woman pregnant, and even bought her a luxury car worth a million..."
A simple sentence, accompanied by her light tone.
It completely petrified Yu Wei, who was holding the phone...
Stunned, she watched Gu Zixuan, until Gu Zixuan pursed her lips with a bitter smile.
Only then did Yu Wei finally confirm she hadn't heard wrong.
Raising her eyebrows in disbelief, she said, "Is that bastard really planning to divorce you this time?"
Divorce?
Gu Zixuan's heart ached, and she smiled, "I don't know."
But Yu Wei exploded, "Damn it! On what grounds? Back when he had nothing, it was a loan from your family that paid for his studies abroad, and you didn't care less about it. You funded his living expenses entirely for his entrepreneurship. After returning to the country, it was your dad who covered all his projects. Otherwise, how could he have today's success?"
"Now he's fine, with not a bit of gratitude after success, he can't even keep it in his pants! Haven't you picked up enough messes for him over the years? A million... You've been driving a car worth fifty thousand for six years without swapping, yet he buys a new one for someone else!"
"Most importantly, with your dad's current situation, this is the time when money and effort are needed. Instead of finding ways to smooth relations and settle your dad's lawsuit quickly, what on earth is he doing now! Is he planning to kick someone when they're down and do nothing, gearing up to outdo Huang Shiren?"
Yu Wei yelled, and Gu Zixuan slightly curved her lips, showing little expression.
After venting, Yu Wei put one hand on her hip and the other over her forehead, pacing around the private room angrily.
In the end, she grabbed a bottle opener, pried open a cap, poured two big glasses of Martell, and handed one to Gu Zixuan.
She herself downed it in one go.
Her unrestrained manner silently expressed all the anger in Yu Wei's heart; she drank fiercely, and after finishing, slammed the glass down on the table with a "bang".
With red eyes, she spat out a sentence.
"Damn! I'll find you ten young men right now, if you don't turn that bastard's betrayal into ribbons of victory tonight, I won't be a Yu!"
With that, she kicked the door open and walked out.
Yu Wei disappeared, the music in the pub was deafening, overwhelming the ears.
Gu Zixuan, however, remained calm.
She quietly sipped a mouthful of her drink, without much emotional fluctuation.
Because she knew Yu Wei definitely wasn't going to find young men, but had hidden herself in the bathroom to cry...
In this sprawling city, at this moment, the only one feeling the pain for her was probably Yu Wei.
All her fragile defenses, also crumbled when the strong liquor slowly slid down her throat, with her mind becoming more and more numb...
Time seemed to roll back to those days...
She had been the number one socialite in Rong City since childhood, embraced by warmth from her father's high position and her mother's intellectual poise, nurturing her.
She studied piano under the renowned teacher Jim, topped national youth violin competitions at level eight, learned ballet, and painting.
She even won first place nationally in the Mathematics Olympiad.
When she earned a full scholarship to Columbia Business School at 16, it sent ripples through the whole socialite circle.
But her excessive excellence back then made her dismiss everyone.
