Bab 20: Chapter 20 Gu Jingyan is a Stalker
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qiao Xi did not take Yun Yiyi's words to heart. After all, nobody could change the fact that she was Yun Yiyi's mother. "Yiyi, don't worry. As long as you buy your brother a house, I won't bother you anymore."
Yun Qiao's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He grabbed Yun Yiyi who was about to leave and said pleadingly, "Yiyi, don't be like this. You don't owe me anything. I know you don't have money so there's no need to buy a house. Yiyi, I won't get married..."
Yun Yiyi did not let Yun Qiao finish his words and shook his hand away. She stared at him pointedly.
Yun Qiao felt as though Yun Yiyi's cold gaze was a knife that stabbed his heart. The pain was excruciating.
"Brother, I'll buy you a house. You and Song Zhuang can get married and live a good life after that. You don't have to concern yourself with my matters anymore." Yun Yiyi's face was pale. Although her body is trembling, she tried her best to stand straight and not show any weakness. She had to maintain whatever little self-respect and dignity she had left. She said apathetically, "Brother, you clearly knew when mother betrayed me and sold me to the Gu family for benefits. However, you didn't stop her and acquiesced to her treatment of me. Do you know how I spent my days in the Gu family? Do you know how Gu Jingyan humiliated me? Do you know my days in the Gu family were worse than death? Of course, you don't know. Mom, you, Song Zhuang, all of you only saw money, but I saw pain..."
At this point, tears were threatening to spill out of her eyes. She blinked to hold back her tears. "I've always felt guilty and blamed myself for what happened to you. I didn't care even if mom sold me to the Gu family for benefits. I only care about you. If I had to live through dark days just so you can live a better life, I'm willing. However, what did I get? You totally disregarded me!"
Yun Qiao said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yiyi. I'm sorry. I wasn't in my right mind at that time… I don't know what I was thinking..."
"Sorry?" Yun Yiyi sneered, "There's no need to apologize. After all, I was willing to endure it at that time since you're my family. However, I came home today to make things clear. We'll go our separate ways after this!"
Qiao Xi's expression darkened. When she saw Yun Yiyi leaving, she hurriedly shouted, "Even if you want to cut ties, make sure you buy the house before the new year!"
Yun Yiyi stopped in her tracks, straightened her back, and left without looking back.
"Yiyi..."Yun Qiao called out. He wanted to chase after her but was stopped by Song Zhuang.
"Your sister's temper is getting worse. Don't worry, she'll return when her anger subsides." Song Zhuang tried to persuade Yun Qiao softly.
"That's right. Where can she go now that she's divorced? She'll come back in a few days when she calms down," Qiao Xi said, agreeing with Song Zhuang.
Yun Qiao was furious. He yelled, "Mom! This is all your fault! If you weren't greedy for the benefits Tian Ya promised, things wouldn't be like this!"
Josie glared at Yun Qiao. "Fine, It's my fault. It's all my fault, okay?" After that, she smiled happily and said, "Now that you and Xiao Zhuang can get married, I feel more at ease. I will go and cook now. Both of you can rest." After she finished speaking, she made her way to the kitchen.
...
When Yun Yiyi entered the car, she could no longer suppress her tears so she let them fall. She felt as though someone had stabbed her heart with a knife before twisting the handle. When she had calmed down considerably, she drove away.
Unbeknownst to her, there was a black Land Rover parked at the corner. From its spot, the people in the car could clearly see Yun Yiyi's expressions.
A handsome man dressed in a navy suit with sharp facial features and short hair frowned slightly. A complicated expression could be seen on his face.
At this moment, a delicate voice rang in the air. "Young Master Gu, who are you waiting for? You've been waiting here for several hours. Didn't you promise you'd accompany me to buy jewelry?"
Gu Jingyan's eyes turned cold. He looked at the coquettish woman with heavy makeup sitting in the passenger seat. Compared to Yun Yiyi, she was simply too vulgar! He said harshly, "Get out!"
The woman's face paled immediately. She could tell Gu Jingyan was incredibly displeased. She could not afford to offend him so she quickly scurried out of the car.
Gu Jingyan stepped on the accelerator, ruthlessly abandoning the woman. His face was extremely gloomy as he reached up to loosen his tie. He was in a terrible mood.
Yun Yiyi had always been calm whenever he saw her. No matter how angry she was, she would not show the slightest bit of weakness. She was such a strong woman. No matter how he ridiculed her or humiliated her, she would always remain calm, as though she did not care about anything at all.
However, earlier, he had witnessed her crying her heart out. He felt very uncomfortable. He felt a weight in his heart, making it difficult to breathe,
He knew she would definitely come home today so he had deliberately waited here. He knew she would definitely be scolded by her vain mother who was blinded by money. Everything was within his expectations. So why did he feel so uncomfortable when he saw her in pain? Was this not the outcome he wanted to see? Why did he feel unhappy then?
'Yun Yiyi. Yun Yiyi. Yun Yiyi,' he silently chanted her name. He grew more and more troubled.
He still had a difficult time believing that they had gotten a divorce. For the first time, his confidence suffered a blow. He was no longer sure of himself. For the first time, he felt regretful of what he had done. He really should not have confidently signed the divorce papers when Yun Yiyi deliberately provoked him.
His black Land Rover trailed after Yun Yiyi's silver Chevrolet. He followed her to a second-hand car dealer and watched her enter the shop.
He waited for a while, but Yun Yiyi still did not come out. A complicated look flashed in his eyes before he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Check out a second-hand car dealer in Jiayuan for me. There's a customer called Yun Yiyi."
The car was silent. After a while, Gu Jingyan frowned. He said coldly, "What? She's selling her car?"
The person on the other end of the line answered respectfully, "Yes, Young Master Gu. Miss Yun is in a hurry to sell her car. The car dealership has already agreed on a price with her. She bought the car for 160,000 yuan and drove it for 25,000 kilometers for three years. The agreed-upon price is 60,000 yuan."
Gu Jingyan pursed his lips tightly, lost in his thoughts. After a moment, he coldly said, "Inform all the second-hand car dealerships in Jiang City not to buy her car!"
