My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again - Chapter 814

His offer was already generous enough and was under consideration of all that she had done for the Gu family during these trying times. However, her greedy look made him felt she was unbearably ugly.

Xu Weilai hadn’t noticed that Gu Yu had entered the ward. She swallowed slightly and continued her conversation with Grandpa Gu. “Since I’m prepared to return all the shares to you and for the sake that I’ve been protecting the interest of Gu Corporation during these times, I want a little reward for all that I’ve done. I want to use this to offset the one billion betrothal gift you gave me to help me through hard time.”

One billion.

Gu Yu’s pupils contracted. His sneer froze.

The cash value of the shares in her hand exceeded way over one billion. She did not request for more, but only one billion.

Assistant Lin did mention to him about the one billion betrothal gifts. Although he felt like he was an outsider to this piece of memory, his impression of Xu Weilai couldn’t be good if she married him for the one billion.

Grandpa Gu frowned. “Lil’ Weilai, the shares are yours since it’s already in your hand. Take it as a gift from me. We are family, so there’s no such thing as returning anything. The shares in my hand will one day passed on to you and Yu. You’re his wife, so the half portion of my shares will be yours, anyway.”

As Grandpa Gu had just woken up from his coma not too long ago, his health was of great concern and needed delicate care. So, no one informed him of what happened during his coma other than matters related to Gu Corporation. So, he still had not gotten to know that Gu Yu and Xu Weilai were divorced.

Xu Weilai had already had a conversation with the doctor attending to Grandpa Gu before she came. She wanted to be assured that Grandpa Gu was in a stable condition. Now that Grandpa Gu seemed to be well, she decided to break the news to him. She would need to tell him eventually, anyway.

It seemed normal for her to come alone to accompany Grandpa Gu when Gu Yu wasn’t around earlier. Now that he was back, it wasn’t right for her to still come every day, since they were no longer attached. It was highly likely that Grandpa Gu would start asking if she stopped coming. The truth could not stay hidden.

“Grandpa, something happened during this period, actually.” Xu Weilai reconsidered her words and tried her best to speak calmly, hoping that Grandpa Gu wouldn’t get too agitated by what she was going to tell. “Gu Yu and I, we were divorced.”

“…”

Grandpa Gu stared at her in a daze. His eyes were blank, as if he could not understand what she was saying.

“We broke up in peace after a discussion. We had no bad feelings, it was just irreconcilable differences. So, I must return these shares to you. Thank you for treating me so well and for taking care of me all this while. Although we are no longer family, you will always be my most respected and favorite grandpa.”

A few moments passed when Grandpa Gu finally blinked, as if he had just digested Xu Weilai’s words. His gaze shifted over Xu Weilai’s shoulder and fell on the tall figure standing a few steps behind her.

Anger filled his eyes as he said between his gritted teeth, “Lil’ Weilai, don’t be afraid. You can tell it to Grandpa honestly. Did that rascal Yu bully you while I was unconscious? Forced you to get a divorce? Tell Grandpa, I will avenge you. Don’t take me as weakling just because I’m lying down right now. I can break that rascal’s legs when when I’m lying down.”

He didn’t believe a word from Xu Weilai about peaceful break-up and having no bad feelings between them. Neither would he believe they had any irreconcilable difference.
