The setting sun lit up the sky.
Yun Yi's beautiful eyes curved when she smiled like a blooming flower. Her smile was as bright as the blazing sun in summer, but it carried the chill of winter. She said lightly, "Young Master Gu, it seems like you're still dreaming and haven't woken up!"
Gu Jingyan's face turned frosty as he looked at Yun Yiyi who was clearly unafraid of him. He enunciated each word clearly as he said, "Divorce Fei Mo and remarry me. I promise Qiao Feilian won't appear in front of you again!"
"So what?" Yun Yiyi continued to say with a smile on her face, "Even if you drive away one Qiao Feilan, there are many more Qiao Feilans in this world. Young Master Gu, you should have heard of the saying that a leopard can't change its spots overnight."
Gu Jingyan was a womanizer with many women around him. The famous model, Qiao Feilan, was just one of Gu Jingyan's many women. Even if he drove Qiao Feilan away, half of the women in Jiang City would still be lining up to go out with him.
She had successfully provoked him into divorcing her, she would not be so stupid as to return to him and be humiliated again. Moreover, when she thought about Fei Mo who had been considerate toward her, she was filled with an inexplicable tenderness. Although her marriage to Fei Mo was a business transaction, Fei Mo was a peerless man whom Gu Jingyan could not even hope to compare to. With such a peerless man like Fei Mo next to her, why would she return to her ex-husband?
She did not care about Gu Jingyan at all. Only one word came to mind whenever she thought about him: annoying!
"Divorce Fei Mo!" Gu Jingyan said through gritted teeth as he tightened his grip on Yun Yiyi's chin. If he had used a little more strength, it would probably leave a bruise.
"Impossible!" Yun Yiyi rejected him decisively and resolutely. She endured the pain on her chin and looked at him arrogantly with eyes brimming with determination and pride.
"Yun Yiyi!" Gu Jingyan was thoroughly enraged by her words. His face contorted in anger as he said frostily, "Don't test my patience!"
"What are you going to do about it?" Yun Yiyi retorted, "I won't divorce Fei Mo, and I will definitely not remarry you!" After a beat, she continued to say, "Please don't forget our agreement before we got divorced. You promised that you wouldn't make things difficult for me after our divorce. If you're a man, please don't go back on your words."
"So what if I go back on my words?" Gu Jingyan stared at Yun Yiyi fiercely, losing his cool. No woman had ever challenged him like this, and no woman had ever made him so angry. All the women he met would act coy in front of him and obediently listen to him just to climb into his bed.
However, Yun Yiyi whom he had married was completely different. Not only did she not listen to him, but she thought nothing of him at all! In fact, she disdained to have anything to do with him. How could he not be furious?
Yun Yiyi frowned and said, "Young Master Gu, it seems like you don't even have a shred of decency in you. I have nothing else to say to you." She no longer wanted to waste any time on him. They were divorced. The most he could do was prevent her from selling her car. What else could he do?
"You have nothing else to say, but I do!" Gu Jingyan's eyes glinted coldly. His grip on Yun Yiyi's waist tightened, bringing their bodies closer together. A cold smile appeared on his face as he continued to say, "Yun Yiyi, do you know that my mother has been asking me about you every day? I've been avoiding her all this time. It seems like it won't take long before she finds out about our divorce"
Upon hearing Gu Jingyan's words, Yun Yiyi's expression changed slightly. "Gu Jingyan, do you think you can threaten me with your mother? The Gu family is, indeed, influential in Jiang City. However, I haven't done anything to be ashamed of. When I divorced you, I returned everything the Gu family had given me. I don't owe you anything!"
"You don't owe me anything, but your mother does!" Gu Jingyan said frostily. His lips brushed against her soft cherry lips, intentionally or not, as he said, "When your mother lived in the Gu family's villa, she bought a lot of expensive jewelry. Although she returned a lot of them, as greedy as she is, how could she not have hidden some?"
Yun Yiyi did not doubt Gu Jingyan's words. She knew her mother, Qiao Xi, liked expensive jewelry, and when she married into the Gu family, the Gu family was not stingy with her mother at all. From what she knew alone, Tian Ya had accompanied her mother to the shopping mall a few times. The cost of each trip to the mall was not small at all. The prices of these luxury goods were nothing to the Gu family, but to the Yun family that was a common family, it was an exorbitant price. In the end, she said, "I have nothing to do with her!"
"Nothing to do with her? She's your biological mother. If she's unable to return those things, it's only natural that you pay for those things as her daughter!" Gu Jingyan was delighted to see the unsightly expression on Yun Yiyi's face. Her confidence seemed to wane at the mention of Qiao Xi. He knew her weakness very well.
Gu Jingyan continued to say smugly, "The housekeeper casually mentioned it to me at that time, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think about it, I remember the housekeeper saying the things your mother took are worth about 800,000 yuan..."
800,000 yuan! Yun Yiyi's face stiffened. Her mother had kept things worth 800,000 yuan but still did not hesitate to push her into a corner to buy a house for her brother, Yun Qiao.
She said, "I no longer have anything to do with her! I'll tell her to return the things she took. I can't believe you're using her to threaten me. How ridiculous!" Despite her words, a hint of unease could be heard in her voice. Since Gu Jingyan brought this matter up, she knew he would not let this matter drop so easily.
"How can you have nothing to do with your mother?"Gu Jingyan looked at Yun Yiyi proudly. "Yiyi, your family is not having an easy time now. Your brother and his girlfriend have lost their jobs and have no income at all. They're about to get married, and your family is short of money. Do you really think your mother will obediently return those expensive things?" Without waiting for Yun Yiyi's reply, he lowered his voice and continued to say, "Since you're trying to sell your car, it's obvious you're short of money. You know the Gu family isn't lacking in money. As long as you're willing to remarry me and become the Young Madam of the Gu family, you no longer have to worry about your brother's marriage, your expenses, and your mother's retirement. Isn't that great?"
Gu Jingyan knew Yun Yiyi was a prideful woman. She would rather sell her car than ask Fei Mo for money. For this reason, he was not worried she would ask Fei Mo for help. He smirked as he thought to himself that he had many means to deal with her.
