Xu Weilai reached out her hand and groped around on the sofa for a while, but she didn’t find her phone. She raised her eyelids with difficulty and looked around in a daze. Only then did she see that her phone had somehow been thrown under the coffee table.
When she walked into the study, she clearly didn’t bring her phone with her, but now… why was her phone here? Could it be that she was drunk last night and ran over to get it?
The phone hung up automatically because she didn’t answer it for a long time.
Xu Weilai stretched out her hand and took out the phone from inside. She lit up the screen, and with a shake of her hand, the phone fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
Oh God… What was that? More like, what did she do last night?
If her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her just now, the screen was a Wechat dialog box. The profile picture was Gu Yu’s, and she… had been scolding him…
Wondering if she was dreaming or in reality, Xu Weilai sat there in a daze.
Her phone rang again and snapped her back to reality.
Xu Weilai’s hands were clenched into fists, and she knocked her head in frustration. She took a few deep breaths and tried hard to calm herself down before bending down and picking up the phone again.
The name that flashed on the screen was Assistant Lin’s.
Xu Weilai’s fingers slid across the screen as she picked up the call. Her voice was a little hoarse. “Hello.”
Assistant Lin’s polite voice came from the other side. “Young Mistress, are you awake? Um… I’m here to pick you up.”
Pick her up?
Because she had just woken up and she had been in shock just now, Xu Weilai couldn’t wrap her head around it. She asked reflexively, “Pick me up for what?”
“Uh… ” Assistant Lin’s voice weakened. “Didn’t you make an appointment with President Gu to… to go to the civil affairs bureau today for a divorce? ”
Oh, yes, she was going to divorce Gu Yu at the Civil Affairs Bureau today.
She took her phone out and looked at the time. It was 8:45 am…
She had no intention of backing out at the last minute. It was just that she felt uneasy last night and accidentally got drunk, so she didn’t get up on time. Was Gu Yu really so worried that she wouldn’t want a divorce, so he had to specially ask Assistant Lin to pick her up?
A trace of a sneer appeared on the corner of Xu Weilai’s lips, and her voice turned cold as she spoke, “Wait for me for ten minutes.”
“Okay, take your time.”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Weilai saw the Wechat chat page. She had sent a lot of messages scolding Gu Yu, but he hadn’t replied to any of them. Perhaps he hadn’t even looked at them.
In any case, he had never cared.
Xu Weilai moved her fingers and clicked on it a few times, then deleted Gu Yu’s Wechat.
She kicked away the empty wine bottle by her feet and walked back to the bedroom. She went into the bathroom to wash up. When she brushed her teeth, she threw all of Gu Yu’s stuff into the trash can along the way.
Time was tight, so Xu Weilai couldn’t apply makeup. However, her complexion was too bad, and she didn’t want Gu Yu to see her like this. She fished out her sunglasses and put them on. Then, she found her marriage certificate, stuffed it into her bag, picked it up, and went out!
Assistant Lin’s car was already waiting for her downstairs. She walked over, opened the door of the backseat, and sat in it.
Assistant Lin turned to greet her, “Good morning, Young Mistress.”
Xu Weilai raised her eyes to glance at him, but her gaze suddenly froze. Then, she took off her sunglasses, narrowed her eyes, and carefully sized him up.
Her scrutinizing gaze baffled Assistant Lin. He couldn’t help but touch his face and ask, “Young Mistress, why are you looking at me like that?”
