The moment Jin Qingyan got down from the car, Gu Beicheng landed a punch right on his face.
Jin Qingyan was caught off guard, and the corner of his mouth started bleeding.
“Young Sir!” Fan s.h.i.+xin exclaimed in alarm.
“Beicheng!” An Xiaoning yelled as she pulled him back.
Gu Beicheng stared at Jin Qingyan with cold eyes and pointed his finger accusingly at him. “Fan s.h.i.+xin showed me that surveillance camera footage as well. Do you think what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears are always true? I don’t think Xiaoning has such poor self-control, otherwise… when she came back from M Nation, she would have found someone new already. She loved you for so many years and this is how you treat her, Jin Qingyan?!”
Jin Qingyan answered in a cold and persistent tone, “There’s no need for an outsider like you to interfere in our matters. What do you know? You’ll never know how I feel!”
With that, he went past Gu Beicheng and An Xiaoning, entering the house by himself.
At the front gate, only the two were left.
The front gate opposite opened slowly and Jin Yiheng walked out. Seeing the two of them, Jin Yiheng skipped toward them merrily.
“Daddy, Mommy!”
The moment An Xiaoning saw her son, she could no longer suppress her tears, which came running down rapidly.
“Mommy, why are you crying?”
She bent down and pulled her son into her arms.
“That’s because Mommy missed you.”
“I missed you too.” He wrapped his arms around her neck. “Mommy, where have you been recently? I haven’t seen you in so long.”
“Mommy went to work. I’ve been very, very busy.” She said in a gentle tone, “Son, in the future, you might not be able to see Mommy for a very long time. However, as long as you know that Mommy loves you the most, it’ll be okay.”
“Mommy…” Jin Yiheng was fl.u.s.tered and his eyes reddened. “Did you and Daddy fight? Daddy hasn’t eaten much lately and can’t fall asleep. Uncle said he’s feeling troubled inside.”
“Daddy and Mommy are getting divorced.” Since he was bound to know sooner or later, she did not want to hide it from him. “Your Daddy has been given your custody.”
“I don’t want to, I want to be with Mommy…” Jin Yiheng started bawling and grabbed onto her neck tightly. “Mommy, don’t go.”
Gu Beicheng, who was standing aside, had tears br.i.m.m.i.n.g in his eyes. He turned his head aside, not uttering a word.
An Xiaoning held onto her son’s little hand and slowly replied, “Yiheng, no matter what other people say, Mommy just wants you to know that I’ve not done anything wrong. Mommy will not do anything to make my son ashamed. Do you believe Mommy?”
Jin Yiheng nodded his head. “I believe you.”
“Then, that’s good. Your fifth birthday has pa.s.sed, so you’re already a five-year-old boy. Even if Mommy is not with you, you must promise me that you’ll eat, sleep, and study well. Mommy will definitely come and see you again.”
Although on the divorce agreement, Jin Qingyan had ordered that she was not to visit him in the future, this was something she could not comply to.
Tears kept flowing down Jin Yiheng’s cheeks, and his nose turned red from crying.
An Xiaoning took out a ring from her bag. It was the wedding ring that she and Jin Qingyan had later bought.
After the tsunami incident, she came back from N Nation to find out that he had already collected their marriage certificate. When he returned from N Nation, he produced two heart-shaped jewelry boxes in front of her one evening.
They contained a pair of wedding rings.
They had originally agreed to put them on when they carry out their wedding another time. But the two could not resist and put them on immediately.
Along with that ruby necklace, she placed the jewelry in her son’s hands. “Pa.s.s these to your Daddy. Next time, if you miss Mommy, call your grandmother’s house. I remember you copied down the phone number.”
He nodded without speaking.
“Go back in, then.” An Xiaoning used all the remaining effort she had to stand up.
Jin Yiheng reluctantly walked back to the front gate. While he turned to look at her a few times, he eventually still went in.
Looking at Gu Beicheng in a corner, An Xiaoning revealed a smile more bitter than tears. “I actually got married three times, twice to the same person. Some kind of bulls.h.i.+t marriage is! I won’t care for it from now on!”
Gu Beicheng opened the car door as he remarked, “The front gate of my house will always be open for you. No matter where it is that you can’t stay anymore, my house will always have a place for you.”
With tears br.i.m.m.i.n.g in her eyes, An Xiaoning forced a smile. “Thank you.”
With that, she got into the car and sat beside the driver’s seat.
Gu Beicheng went around the front of the car and got in.
The car left Wei Ni Estate very soon and headed to the old Gu residence.
An Xiaoning rolled down the car windows and allowed the strong breeze to blow on her hair. She kept silent throughout the ride, appearing to be deep in thought.
When the car finally pulled into the front gate of the Gu residence, she then turned to Gu Beicheng beside her and said, “A woman can covet everything a man has, but never expect a man to believe, protect, and be nice to you forever. Because when he no longer does, you’ll have nothing. I guess this saying refers to my situation now.”
Gu Beicheng turned and watched as her tears flowed down like a river. He felt equally upset inside as An Xiaoning had seldom broken down in front of him.
This time, the blow she suffered must have been too huge.
He remained silent.
When An Xiaoning pushed the car door open and got down from the car, Gu Beicheng followed her as well and helped her drag her luggage down.
Watching the two of them return together, carrying luggage, Mr. and Mrs. Gu thought that Gu Beicheng had gone to the airport to fetch An Xiaoning.
When they found out that An Xiaoning had actually gotten divorced, the two elders were extremely astonished.
After they had gotten over the shock, Mrs. Gu expressed, “Xiaoning, rest a.s.sured and just stay here. We have so many houses, you can stay in whichever one you like.”
An Xiaoning nodded. “Regarding what exactly happened, I still want to tell all of you.”
She sat there and explained the details of what happened from when she had decided to enter the Autumn Palace until today. After explaining, she remarked, “This is what happened. He doesn’t believe it, so I have no choice either. Anyway, I won’t be able to clear my name anymore.”
Mrs. Gu said in a heart-broken manner, “Look at your haggard face. We all believe you.”
An Xiaoning asked, “Beicheng, can you give me the contact of the most powerful media team in the country? I’ll honor my word on revealing my divorce.”
“Okay…”
After Gu Beicheng had given her the contact, she did not hesitate in contacting them and revealing her divorce, but she did not provide the exact reason.
Though she had just contacted them, the news report of it emerged not long after.
The nation was completely rocked by this news.
Everyone knew that An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan had gotten married for the second time. Although they did not hold their wedding, they were officially married.
This second marriage had ended just like before.
The general sentiment was that the rich liked to treat marriage as a game.
With money, they could be willful and get married and divorced as they wished.
An Xiaoning did not bother to read the comments online.
After gathering herself, she bought a new red Ferrari.
As she had grown used to driving this series of car models, it was particularly smooth for her.
Her bedroom was right opposite Gu Beicheng’s.
In the afternoon, she and Lin Mingxi went to shop for things to decorate her room.
She decorated her room to her favorite artistic style, placing her favorite flowers on the balcony, as well as a long sofa and a small coffee table. In the evening, she lay down on the sofa while swirling a gla.s.s of red wine in her hand, enjoying the special pleasing quality about it.
