Chapter 671: 0661 Outlandish idea Chapter 671: 0661 Outlandish idea If it weren’t for Deng Jingru’s obstinacy, ignoring his advice to bet everything on Su Xinyan and inciting Gu Heng to invest in the Su Family’s production line, how could the Gu Family have ended up in this state today.

“At a time like this, what are you causing a fuss about? Wasn’t it you who were so keen on having her join the family? It hasn’t been that long, and now you’re dissatisfied?”

Deng Jingru was initially taken aback, then retorted sharply.

“Isn’t everything I did for the sake of the Gu Family? Originally, I thought she was a Lucky Star, that marrying into the Gu Family, she could help Gu Heng. But I didn’t expect her to be a loss-making bargain!”

“So, what do you want to do? She and Gu Heng are already married; she is Gu Heng’s legitimate wife.”

The glint in Deng Jingru’s eyes flickered with insinuation as she said:
“So what if they are married? It’s not like they can’t get divorced.”

Gu Qiming immediately frowned and looked over at her.

“Are you not content with the chaos? Gu Heng and her have only been married for a short while, and now you want them to divorce at a time when the Su Family has just encountered trouble. What do you want others to think of Gu Heng? What do you want them to think of the Gu Family?”

Yet Deng Jingru spoke with an air of impunity: “What about it? The fault lies with the Su Family; they deceived the Gu Family first. If Su Xinyan hadn’t plagiarized, would there be all these problems today?

If the Su Family had any self-awareness, they should take the initiative to propose a divorce. That way, Gu Heng could marry Su Ran legitimately. Once Gu Heng and Su Ran are married, wouldn’t all the difficulties that the Gu Family is facing be easily resolved!”

Gu Qiming was left scoffing at Deng Jingru’s fantastical ideas, saying coldly:
“You wish Gu Heng would marry Su Ran? What makes you think Su Ran would agree to marry a man who’s been divorced, not to mention one who has previously betrayed her!”

However, Deng Jingru lifted her proud chin, as if it were a given:
“Why shouldn’t she agree to marry Gu Heng? Gu Heng is so outstanding – agreeing to marry her is an honor for her! Moreover, from what I have observed, Su Ran doesn’t seem to be devoid of feelings for Gu Heng.

They once had an engagement; Gu Heng marrying her would be fulfilling that commitment. Initially, I didn’t think much of her, but now that she has Qianran International and Enrich in her hands, she barely has the credentials to match Gu Heng!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiming sneered.

He decided not to comment on Deng Jingru’s self-righteous sentiments.

Not to belittle his own son, but with Qianran International and Enrich, what type of man couldn’t Su Ran have?

Besides, what made Deng Jingru think that the Gu Family could merely beckon Su Ran to forgive Gu Heng’s past offense without holding any grudge?

Delusional.

When Su Xinyan arrived at the door with a hat and mask, she overheard Deng Jingru’s remarks.

Her hands clenched tight, her eyes filled with malignance and resentment.

She had actually guessed correctly.

That old woman Deng Jingru was indeed instigating a divorce between her and Gu Heng!

Su Xinyan’s gaze turned to Gu Heng, who was sitting nearby, only to see him looking at her impassively, his face devoid of guilt or emotion.

Her heart suddenly lifted, filled with fear and unease.

“Brother Heng…”

A customary look of vulnerability and forbearance swept over her face, and tears began to fall.

But when Deng Jingru saw Su Xinyan, her suppressed rage and bitterness became uncontrollable.

“Mom…”

Su Xinyan called out timidly, her cautious voice seemingly pricking Deng Jingru’s nerves.

She abruptly stood up from the couch, rushed over to Su Xinyan, and slapped her fiercely across the face.

Su Xinyan’s head was struck hard to the side, and her body staggered into the corridor wall.

“Don’t call me! I am not your mother!”

Su Xinyan was a sorry sight, holding her struck cheek, trembling as she looked at Deng Jingru.

“Mom… I know I was wrong…”

“Shut up, don’t call me Mom! Don’t call me Mom! You shameless wretch!”

Deng Jingru’s chest heaved violently with anger, and her eyes were bloodshot.

“How could I have trusted you so much, wholeheartedly arranging your marriage with Gu Heng, placing all my hopes on you? Is this how you repay me? You shamelessly steal from Su Ran, but then play victim, pretending to be pitiful and helpless.

We all believed in you, believed that you were the victim, that it was Su Ran who was petty and maliciously framing you. And the result? Now the whole world has seen through you, and the Gu Family has been humiliated alongside you because of your actions…you, you shameless whore!!”

Deng Jingru felt it was not enough and raised her hand again to slap Su Xinyan!

Su Xinyan was in a pitiable state, enduring the humiliation and looking woefully at Deng Jingru.

“Mom, please give me another chance, I know I was wrong, I truly do…”

“Give you another chance? Are you not satisfied with having brought enough shame to the Su Family, and now you want to ruin the Gu Family too? Get out! Don’t ever show your face to me again. The Gu Family does not have a daughter-in-law like you, divorce! You must get a divorce!”

Su Xinyan panicked inside and quickly cried out:
“No, I don’t want to divorce Brother Heng, mom, please don’t make me divorce Brother Heng…”

“Even if you don’t want to divorce, you still have to. The Gu Family must have been blind to have brought someone like you into our home. Now get out of the Gu Family house, get out!!”

“Mom…”

“Get out! I want you to get out now!”

Deng Jingru’s voice was hoarse as she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Seeing her so out of control, Gu Heng quickly stepped forward and took her into his arms.

“Mom, please calm down!”

Deng Jingru’s eyes were blood-red as she clutched tightly at Gu Heng’s clothes.

“Son, divorce! You must divorce this woman!”

Gu Heng’s handsome face was now full of exhaustion, having run back and forth between the hospital and the company these past days without even a chance to change his clothes, looking quite disheveled.

He watched Su Xinyan quietly, his expression indifferent, without the slightest bit of fluctuation.

“Brother Heng…”

Seeing Gu Heng, Su Xinyan’s sense of grievance intensified, and tears immediately surged forth.

Yet, seeing her tears, Gu Heng did not come forward to pity her, to cherish her, to comfort her as he usually would. Instead, he kept his cold and stiff expression as he looked at her.

Su Xinyan felt a tightness in her chest. If it had been before, Brother Heng would have softened and forgiven her before long…

But now…

Her heart was even more panicked as her eyes, red and swollen, filled with more and more tears.

“Brother Heng, I really do know I was wrong. Could you please forgive me?”

Gu Heng closed his eyes deeply, and his grip on Deng Jingru’s shoulder tightened slightly.

“Xinyan…”

He began to speak slowly, his low voice rough and hoarse.

When he opened his eyes again to look at her, his deep eyes could not hide the disappointment and mockery.

“I’m truly tired, I no longer have the energy or confidence to forgive you!”

Su Xinyan’s pale face suddenly turned ashen, her legs grew weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

Desperately shaking her head, she quickly stepped forward and clung to the hem of Gu Heng’s clothing, her lips quivering as she said:
“No, Brother Heng, I really do know I was wrong, why won’t you forgive me? You don’t want to divorce me, do you?

No, I won’t agree to it, I won’t divorce you! Never!”

Gu Heng looked deeply at her, “Is it because of the Gu Family?”

Su Xinyan’s expression of injustice suddenly froze on her face, and her eyes shifted evasively.
