Chapter 672: Conditions Chapter 672: Conditions Gu Heng looked at Su Xinyan’s evasive eyes, that awkward expression of someone whose inner thoughts had been guessed, and a boundless melancholy suddenly surged from the depths of his heart.

This was his bedfellow!

This was the person to whom he had once given his unconditional trust!

Spouses are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly their separate ways.

Xinyan had never thought about sharing weal and woe with him.

At this moment, he deeply realized it.

He had trusted the wrong person!

She had, too!

Because this time, no matter what she asked for, he was destined to disappoint her.

“You came to see me today because you want the Gu Family to help the Su Family, right?”

Upon hearing this, Deng Jingru was so angry that she almost fainted again.

“You… you… After you’ve caused such a disaster for the Gu Family, you still want the Gu Family to help the Su Family? Su Xinyan, you heartless wretch, how did the Gu Family ever end up with such a vicious, vile woman like you!”

Su Xinyan’s gaze was somewhat dodgy. “Mom, I…”
Deng Jingru supported her head, looking like she was about to collapse.

Seeing this, Gu Qiming stepped forward to take her from Gu Heng’s hands and held onto her.

“Dad, you take Mom to rest first!”

Gu Qiming nodded, helped Deng Jingru to sit on the sofa, and had no intention of meddling in their affairs.

Gu Heng looked up at Su Xinyan again, his eyes exceptionally serene, devoid of any emotion.

Su Xinyan panicked inside, grabbing Gu Heng’s clothes tightly, and spoke in a pitiful voice.

“Brother Heng, please help me, help the Su Family, okay? As long as you are willing to reach out to help the Su Family, I will listen to everything you say! I won’t fight with my sister anymore, I also forgive her for the hurt she caused me in the past, I won’t hold a grudge against her for anything…

I will be a good wife for you in the future, help you manage Chongguang together, we have only just gotten married, it will surely be better in the future, Brother Heng, let’s forget the past and start anew, okay?”

Gu Heng gazed deeply at her, his expression filled with exhaustion and sarcasm.

“Forget? Xinyan, at this point, how can you have the gall, the audacity to utter the words ‘forget’? Over the past few days, I’ve been thinking why, even when I had doubts in my heart about you, I still couldn’t help finding reasons to believe you, because I can’t accept, I can’t accept that the person at my side, the person I chose to trust against all odds, is actually a woman of cruel heart, unscrupulous in her means.

Xiao Ran was supposed to be my fiancee, yet I trusted and defended you in every possible way, with your seeming depth of emotion, your tolerance, made Xiao Ran appear petty and ungracious. But Xinyan, ask yourself, is that really the case? Was it not you who picked fights every time, who caused trouble where there was none!

Xiao Ran was framed by you as a plagiarist, yet she still left face for the Su Family and the Gu Family, had you not been so aggressive, so desperate to repeat your tricks at the award ceremony, how could the Su Family have ended up like this?

It was difficult for us to get married, to marry you, I was ungrateful, broke faith, and abandoned my fiancee, but I can’t bring myself to let bygones be bygones, I can’t… with a peaceful mind…”
Su Xinyan’s face turned deathly pale, “What do you mean? You regret…”
“I can reach out to help the Su Family.”

Gu Heng spoke up, cutting off her words abruptly.

“Really? Brother Heng, are you truly willing to help the Su Family?”

As Gu Heng finished speaking, Su Xinyan’s red eyes suddenly lit up, the joy on her face unable to be concealed.

Deng Jingru heard Gu Heng’s words and once again rose from the sofa and charged out.

“Gu Heng, have you lost your mind?!”

However, Gu Heng did not respond but just looked deeply at Su Xinyan.

“I have only one condition, as long as you agree to it, I can agree to help the Su Family.”

“What condition?”

Hearing Gu Heng’s words, Su Xinyan’s heart immediately tightened, feeling as though she had already guessed what Gu Heng was about to say.

Gu Heng took out a document from nowhere and handed it to her.

“As long as you sign this document, I can agree to your condition.”

Su Xinyan looked dazedly at the document Gu Heng was handing over. When the bold characters “Divorce Agreement” clearly entered her field of vision, her whole mind went blank with a “boom”.

“You want to divorce me?”

She looked down for a long while before raising her head to look at the man in front of her, who appeared exhausted and resolute, and said blankly.

Gu Heng took a deep breath, his face full of sorrow as he looked at her.

“Yes, I cannot give you the future you want. We’ve already grown estranged in our hearts. I cannot give you trust and care any longer. Divorce is our only choice, so Xinyan, let’s get divorced!”

Su Xinyan stared at the divorce agreement in front of her, her gaze lifting back up to Gu Heng, barely able to believe that he was really proposing divorce to her.

The indifferent and cold tone, like a sharp blade piercing her chest, immediately brought a cold pain.

“I disagree! Why do you want to divorce me? Because of Su Ran? Is it because of Su Ran?! After divorcing me, do you plan to marry her, is that it?”

Looking at Su Xinyan’s hysterical appearance, Gu Heng couldn’t help but feel incredibly ironic.

Marry Xiao Ran?

Her heart had never been with him, and what right did he, in his current state, have to talk of marrying her?

“Our problems should not involve her. From the moment I chose you, I knew there was no possibility with her in this lifetime. I just can’t stand having a wife whose thoughts are so malevolent. Xinyan, do you really think a few words and tears can erase your deception toward me?

The person who did wrong is you, yet you never know to reflect. You always blame others, waiting for them to forgive and tolerate you. Do you think a simple ‘forget about it’ can cover up all the facts and truths? You’re being absurd!”

“In the end, you just want to divorce me for Su Ran, isn’t that it? All those things are in the past, why do you have to cling to them? Can’t you let it go? She’s living well now, without any harm done, it’s me who is hurting now, Gu Heng, why can’t you see!”

Anger burned in Su Xinyan’s chest, unable to be contained!

Gu Heng looked at the woman before him, whose eyes were red with anger, and laughed sarcastically.

“Move on? Why is it that every time you are caught in the wrong, you can be so self-righteous as if nothing happened? And how can you so guiltlessly shift that responsibility onto others, with absolutely no remorse? Xinyan, you’ve truly disappointed me!”

Gu Heng’s words made Su Xinyan’s expression freeze on her face. She looked at Gu Heng, her twisted, frantic expression turning into one of aggrievement in an instant.

“So, you’re determined to divorce me, aren’t you?”

“Yes!”

Gu Heng’s firm tone made Su Xinyan’s heart squeeze tight, and her gaze once again filled with anger.

She snatched the agreement from Gu Heng’s hands and tore it in two with a “whoosh”.

“Gu Heng, don’t you even think about discarding me like this! Don’t dream that I will sign. Don’t think I don’t know what you are plotting, to have Su Ran enter the doors of the Gu Family, you can forget about it!”
