She clenched her teeth silently, looking at Senior Master Gu and asked, “Uncle Gu, marrying your son was not my choice, they tricked me into it. I have no interest in your son, can you let me go?”
“I’m afraid I can’t,” said Senior Master Gu, struggling, “Your parents and I have already obtained the marriage certificate for you and Ah Zhu. Last night, when you and Ah Zhu were in the bridal room, our Gu family announced you joined us, declaring you as the young madam of the Gu family. It is too late for you to regret now.”
“What?” Ye Xingbei slammed the table angrily and glared, “How could you do this? I didn’t sign any document. How can there be a marriage certificate?”
Senior Master Gu stretched out his hand towards the back.
The bodyguard standing behind him understood, turned around and left, soon came back with two red books.
On the red books, there were three striking characters: Marriage Certificate.
Ye Xingbei couldn’t wait to get the marriage certificate into her hand and open it. Her joint photo with Gu Junzhu immediately caught her eye.
In the joint photo, she looked very young. She guessed the photo to be taken when she was about fifteen or sixteen years old.
The photo was probably torn from her student ID and photoshopped together with Gu Junzhu’s photo.
Looking at the signature below, it was indeed her handwriting style when she was fifteen or sixteen years-old, probably imprinted from her assignment books or something.
It seems the Jiang family really went to great lengths to marry her to Gu Junzhu.
She held onto the table, her vision momentarily darkened from anger.
Senior Master Gu coughed, took back Ye Xingbei’s marriage certificate, handed it to the bodyguard behind him, and said earnestly, “Missy, there are rumors outside that my son Ah Zhu doesn’t have long to live. But they are just rumors. As you can see, although Ah Zhu is a little weak, he is by no means short-lived. As long as you obediently stay by Ah Zhu’s side, our Gu family will definitely not treat you unfairly! Whatever you want, just tell me, I’ll fulfill all your wishes!”
Pale, Ye Xingbei slumped back into her seat, “I want a divorce!”
“That’s impossible,” said Senior Master Gu, “Ah Zhu is a state-employed personnel. Although he is currently resting at home due to health issues, he is still considered a special public servant. Your marriage to Ah Zhu is protected by the state. Unless Ah Zhu agrees, you can forget about divorce.”
“Then you nod!” Ye Xingbei turned to Gu Junzhu and glared, “You don’t want to marry me, do you? Let’s get divorced!”
“What he says doesn’t count!” Senior Master Gu responded coldly, “The department leader in charge of divorcing spouses of state-employed personnel is my student. Unless I nod, neither of you could get divorced!”
Having said this, he rose from the table and left abruptly, leaving his breakfast untouched.
Ye Xingbei: “…”
She was stunned and didn’t know what to do next when Bai Mengluan’s sweet and soft voice sounded in her ear, “Beibei, since you and Uncle already have a marriage certificate, you should just live peacefully with Uncle and stop making Grandpa mad.”
Uncle?
Ye Xingbei, dumbfounded, turned to Bai Mengluan, “Who are you calling Uncle?”
Bai Mengluan glanced at Gu Junzhu subconsciously, her fair cheeks suddenly turning red from embarrassment. She lowered her head and muttered, “Although Uncle is very young, he is indeed a generation older than me, so… ”
Ye Xingbei brows furrowed, “His surname is Gu, yours is Bai, why are you calling him Uncle?”
“I…I…” Bai Mengluan blushed and stammered, unable to say anything.
“Because she is married to me!” said a quiet and cultured young man sitting next to Bai Mengluan, who hadn’t spoken until then, “Aunt, hello, my name is Gu Yuanfang, my father is grandpa’s eldest son. Uncle is grandpa’s late-life son, so he and my dad have a large age gap.”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
So she married Bai Mengluan’s husband’s uncle?
Truly, as the saying goes: rivers never turn, people do.
She had many unresolved questions to ask Bai Mengluan, and suddenly Bai Mengluan became her niece by marriage!
This made things easier!
“Bai Mengluan, I ask you, where did the baby you suddenly gave me five years ago come from?”
