Chapter 133 You're Not Worthy
Gu Lin did not tell his parents about Wang Bin.
After dinner, the father went into his study.
As usual, the mother went to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras.
In the huge house, only the brother and sister remained.
Gu Rou remained silent for a long time.
She rested her chin on her hand, turned her face to the window, and stared blankly at the mimosa tree in the corner of the yard.
That was planted by Wang Bin himself the year she got married.
There are two trees in total. One is here, and the other is planted in the courtyard where they lived after their marriage.
Now, ten years later, the mimosa tree is lush and verdant, while her marriage has reached the brink of decay.
"Gu Lin." She didn't turn around, her voice as soft as a wisp of smoke.
Gu Lin immediately replied, "Hmm?"
"What's that woman's name?"
Gu Lin's heart clenched.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Her name is Zhao Yuan."
"Is it beautiful?"
Gu Rou's voice had an odd calmness to it.
Gu Lin lowered his eyes, avoiding his sister's gaze: "It's just... average."
"Really?" Gu Rou chuckled very lightly, her expression unreadable. "It seems Wang Bin's judgment isn't all that great."
"Sister..." Gu Lin felt a tightness in his chest, "...If a man can betray you so easily...it can only mean that he is not the one destined for you."
Gu Rou listened, a faint smile still lingering on her lips.
In their ten-year marriage, aside from comfortably spending Wang Bin's money, she seemed to have done nothing truly commendable for him.
Her relationship with him was probably more superficial.
It's just that he takes her out, which gives him some face, and the Gu family background is not bad either.
Besides that... what else is there?
He probably never loved her, not even for a moment.
"Gu Lin," her eyes were already brimming with tears, yet she still smiled, "if I get divorced, will I... be homeless?"
Gu Lin didn't dare to look at her.
Her throat tightened, and she turned her head to say, "How come you're homeless? This house is so big, can't it accommodate you?"
Gu Rou knew what her younger brother was thinking.
He didn't want her to feel like she was living under someone else's roof.
"Let me tell you," Gu Lin continued in a deliberately relaxed tone, "my career is just starting out, so I don't have time to come back. From now on, taking care of Mom and Dad will be your responsibility. Don't even think about slacking off."
Gu Rou did not respond further.
She simply gazed quietly at the mimosa tree.
My heart is broken, shattered into pieces, and no matter how I try to piece it back together, it will never be the same again.
Ten years have passed, and in the end, it was all just a mirage.
She didn't hate Wang Bin, but she hated herself for being too immersed in the illusion of comfort.
She can accept the outcome of divorce.
But what she couldn't accept was being abandoned because she wasn't good enough.
……
A few days later, Gu Rou met with a woman named Zhao Yuan.
very common.
This was Gu Rou's first impression.
She has no stunning looks, no slender figure, and not even an enviable family background.
Unlike her, whose makeup was exquisite and whose beauty remained undiminished, she exuded a long-established and undeniable aura.
In contrast,
Despite her efforts to straighten her back, Zhao Yuan couldn't hide the unease in her eyes.
An ordinary woman, so ordinary that she would be lost in a crowd, gave birth to Wang Bin's child, shaking the foundation of her ten-year marriage.
"If I remember correctly," Gu Rou's voice was calm and even, "Miss Zhao used to work at Bingwang Group?"
Zhao Yuan nodded, her fingers unconsciously tracing the rim of the cup: "Yes, I worked there for a while."
"When did you two start dating?" Gu Rou picked up her coffee, took a small sip, and calmly looked at Zhao Yuan's face. "...How many years?"
Zhao Yuan pursed her lips, her eyes flickering slightly.
She felt that discussing this was pointless.
Whether Wang Bin will divorce Gu Rou is still unknown.
There is absolutely no possibility that he will marry her.
Can she afford to offend Gu Rou now?
She wasn't sure either.
"Mrs. Wang," Zhao Yuan said cautiously, "about my relationship with Mr. Wang... why don't you ask him yourself?"
He Rou chuckled very softly.
He raised his hand and splashed the half-hot coffee in the cup at Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan hadn't expected this.
Somewhat caught me off guard, "What are you doing?"
"Zhao Yuan, I wouldn't normally bother arguing with you, but what you've done has crossed the most basic moral line. I have the right to recover all the jewelry Wang Bin gave you and the money he transferred to you. In the end, you'll most likely end up with nothing, understand?"
Zhao Yuan knew she couldn't possibly get anything.
But her son was different.
Illegitimate children have the same right to continue their lineage as legitimate children.
Moreover, He Rou did not give birth to any children for Wang Bin.
This child is very likely Wang Bin's only son.
Then the entire Bingwang Group will belong to her son.
Suddenly, Zhao Yuan felt her back straighten even more. "Whether it ends in disaster or not, we'll see. Gu Rou, my future is still uncertain, but your fate is already obvious, isn't it?"
That's quite provocative.
Gu Rou's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Zhao Yuan is quite shameless.
She and Wang Bin were a perfect match.
Everyone thought she was an easy target.
"Zhao Yuan, only the living have the right to dream about the future." Gu Rouwei leaned forward slightly and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "The prerequisite is that you have to be alive."
Zhao Yuan had never seen much of the world.
He was indeed frightened by Gu Rou's gaze.
But when he thought that Gu Rou was just a full-time housewife, powerless and without any great abilities, he simply took it as her saying something harsh.
But Gu Rou truly harbored murderous intent.
It's not just about Zhao Yuan, but also about the child she gave birth to.
This has nothing to do with jealousy or love.
She simply couldn't swallow this insult.
……
Gu Rou wasn't in a hurry to divorce Wang Bin.
The day has arrived for Gu Lin and Ye Tang's wedding.
She bustled around as if nothing had happened.
Wang Bin still deposits hundreds of millions of yuan into her account every month as pocket money.
In public, they appear to be a loving couple.
Behind closed doors... Ye Tang didn't know how they got along.
On the day of the wedding.
Firecrackers crackled and drums resounded.
The Gu family was extremely busy.
Fortunately, the wedding went smoothly without any major mishaps.
After seeing off the last group of guests with my parents.
Gu Lin and Ye Tang also returned to the villa together.
Gu Rou was the last to leave.
Wang Bin took a shawl and gently draped it over her shoulders. "You're dressed too lightly today. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Thank you." She remained gentle.
There was just a bit too much politeness in those words.
The affection and tenderness that should exist between husband and wife are gone.
"Are you going home to sleep tonight?" Wang Bin asked, his eyes clearly showing the man's intention after drinking some wine.
Gu Rou glanced at him indifferently and said without much emotion, "I won't reply."
"It's not good to always stay at your parents' house." He held her waist and hugged her. "I've missed you so much."
"Wang Bin, your family and friends aren't here now, so stop pretending." Knowing their relationship was over, she said, "Let's find some time to get the divorce certificate."
Wang Bin was visibly taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Don't be silly. You know I could never marry her."
"I don't want you anymore, Wang Bin, don't you understand? I think you're dirty, you're not worth my love." Gu Rou has always been arrogant, sharing a man with other women.
Wang Bin is not worthy.
Actually, she wasn't unaware of Wang Bin's character before.
He's no pushover.
Why is it that among so many suitors, she most firmly rejected Wang Bin's love?
Because she didn't want to change a man.
She also didn't believe that a man would be willing to change for her.
ten years.
It took her ten years to accept him, accept his changes, and accept his good qualities.
Just when she wanted to love him, he gave her such a big surprise.
