My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again - Chapter 815
“He did not.”
Xu Weilai felt warmth over Grandpa Gu’s defense and protection towards her. “Grandpa Gu, Gu Yu did not force me. It was a mutual agreement. Really…”
Grandpa Gu ignored Xu Weilai’s explanation and was still staring intently at Gu Yu. “Come here. Explain to me why you want to divorce Lil’ Weilai.”
It hadn’t been easy for him to bring them together. The relationship between them improved and was moving towards a happy ending. But the company went into trouble, so did Gu Yu’s marriage when he fell into a coma for some time.
Gu Yu pursed his thin lips and kept his silence, unable to answer this question.
His memory towards her stopped during the time they had little interaction. How was he supposed to give Grandpa Gu the answer to why they were divorced? Although Assistant Lin told him snippets of his memories with Xu Weilai, he did not mention the reason behind their divorce.
Assistant Lin wasn’t his shadow, only he would know his own thoughts and plannings.
Grandpa Gu had no idea that Gu Yu lost part of his memories. The divorce had already brought Grandpa Gu a lot of distress. She could not bear to distraught him further. Thus, Xu Weilai hurriedly said, “Grandpa, I’ll leave this contract here. Please take good care of yourself and recover soon. I’ll come to see you again when I have time.”
As she said this, she stood up.
Grandpa Gu was in no mood to continue teaching his grandson any lesson when he saw Xu Weilai standing up, preparing to leave. His face fell and his voice weakened. “Lil’ Weilai, my heart feels uncomfortable out of a sudden. Please stay with me and accompany me for a while more.”
Having lived for more than half a century, he already had one foot in the grave. He understood that Xu Weilai was here to bid him goodbye, and she might never visit again.
After returning the shares in her hand to him, Xu Weilai would no longer be attached, nor had any relations with Gu Yu and the Gu family. She would be gone for good.
He sneaked a peek at Gu Yu when his mind was running wild, thinking how could he make Xu Weilai stay. Gu Yu was still standing in the same spot without emotions. Grandpa Gu was just pretending to be uncomfortable, but now he was really depressed. His grandson’s wife was leaving him and he was still standing at the side, pretending to be cool. He, Grandpa Gu, the old man of the family, had to do the persuasion work to make his wife stay.
Grandpa Gu’s anger increased as he thought about it and was panting from it.
Xu Weilai still reached out to calm him down, although she knew it was an act to make her stay. She got up to leave after sitting with him for a while.
Grandpa Gu knew he could not put on another act. He looked at her reluctantly and muttered, “Remember to come and see Grandpa again.”
“Sure. I will, Grandpa.” Xu Weilai replied with a smile. She then turned towards Mrs. Lin and gave her a nod. After that, she turned towards the door and left without a glance towards Gu Yu.
Her figure disappeared through the door. Grandpa Gu threw a pillow at Gu Yu. “See her off!”
Gu Yu obediently raised his legs and went after Xu Weilai.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lin walked up and sighed. “Fortunately, Young Master is still teachable.”
Grandpa Gu pursed his lips. “I think it’s too late. Can’t you see that Lil’ Weilai’s expression is so serene? He stand no chance at all if he does not put in more effort.”
“Mr Gu Sr., your children and grandchildren have their own fate and path to go through. Do get too worried about them.” Mrs. Lin advised him when she saw him cough twice.
“Do you think I wanted to worry about him? I have such a stupid grandson. I’m going to disown him if he did not get Weilai back.”
“…”

Gu Yu caught up with her at the entrance of the hospital, where he saw Xu Weilai waiting for her ride. He walked towards her in long strides.
