Can We Say No to Divorce?

Chapter 580 - 351 Love of a Man for a Woman 2

"I have nothing to do with him," Ji Su interrupted her mother.

"What about the money?" Hei Ge looked menacing.

Zhang Yulian spoke before Ji Su could respond, "I’ll figure something out! Hei Ge, I will find a way..."

Hei Ge looked at her with disgust, "You’re too old, no man wants to toy with you anymore. What can you do to pay back the money? Just auction off your daughter then. She’s pretty good-looking; she might fetch a good price!"

"No, please, Hei Ge..." Zhang Yulian cried out, "She’s Mrs. Gu, the second young master of the Gu Family from A city, you know that! He is wealthy..."

Hei Ge hesitated for a moment. After all, the Gu Group was a well-known powerhouse in A city. They ran the gambling den to make money, and they certainly did not want to offend such a family.

Zhang Yulian quickly urged Ji Su again, "Susu, please, I beg you, call Yucheng! If you just speak to him, he’ll give you anything..."

"Mom, don’t you understand?" Ji Su frowned, "First, he’s not your son-in-law anymore, second, he has already given you a lot of money for gambling, and third, I am no longer involved with him."

"Do you have a boyfriend outside?" Zhang Yulian was shrewd.

Ji Su was stunned.

"That must be it, have your boyfriend send money!" Zhang Yulian said, "He must be richer than Gu Yucheng, right?"

"Mom..." Ji Su had not settled anything with He Chenxiang; how could she bring up the matter of money with Chenxiang? "He doesn’t have money! And he’s not a businessman!"

"Then what? In politics?" Zhang Yulian’s eyes shone even brighter, "It’s even better if he’s an official, just have him make a call to Hei Ge, and this will be settled!"

"He’s a doctor," Ji Su said indifferently.

"A doctor?" At first, Zhang Yulian thought a doctor would not be as wealthy as a businessman, but then again, Gu Qingchen was also a doctor, and doctors with family backgrounds are different, "Is he a doctor like the big young master Gu?"

Ji Su knew nothing of He Chenxiang’s family background, and besides, he treated her well; how could she pry into his family affairs?

"Mom, can you not talk about these things?" Ji Su furrowed her brow.

Zhang Yulian immediately coaxed her, "But we still have to solve the current problem, right? Susu, we need to get through this, okay?"

Ji Su said no more, only remaining silent.

Hei Ge did not dare to lay a hand on Ji Su. Seeing how Zhang Yulian was flattering her daughter and figuring that her man must be someone significant, he realized there was no need to be so hasty when it was just about money.

Hei Ge signaled to take Zhang Yulian away, "Put her to work! How else is she going to pay back the eight million?"

As Zhang Yulian was led away, she kept shouting, "Susu, Susu, you have to save me, they’ll kill me..."

At that moment, Ji Su felt even more helpless. How much she hoped to save her mother from this torment, to get her out of gambling, to have her clean up her act and start over. But what could she use to save Zhang Yulian? And even if she saved her this time, would it really stop her from gambling?

Ji Su covered her face with her hands, wondering why life always tore apart her glimpse of dawn viciously, leaving nothing but indelible shadows on the ground.

At Gu Group.

Lu Fei knocked on the door and entered, reporting on business matters to Gu Yucheng, and without leaving he added, "Boss Gu..."

"Anything else?" Gu Yucheng didn’t look up.

"It’s about Miss Ji..." Lu Fei said, "I heard they took away Miss Ji and her mother..."

Gu Yucheng remained silent. Ji Su had left so decisively, so let her handle it herself.

"But Miss Ji definitely can’t raise eight million. Those in the underground casinos might get physical with her, especially since Zhang Yulian is old..." Lu Fei added a few more words.

Gu Yucheng still did not speak.

Lu Fei couldn’t fathom what Gu Yucheng was thinking, and thus could only say so much and not continue further.

After Lu Fei walked out of the office, Gu Yucheng glanced at his phone. Whenever Zhang Yulian got into trouble or incurred gambling debts, she always called him promptly.

He despised Zhang Yulian. If not for her, he and Ji Su would not have had so many problems later on.

Therefore, it did not concern him whether Zhang Yulian lived or died.

But do you know, Ji Su? No matter how much I hate you, didn’t I always fulfill your wishes?

If I were truly heartless towards you, Zhang Yulian would have died hundreds of times over already.

Life without love is torture, an endless torment.
