Guo Xiang didn't leave immediately.
When Louise Luo pressed Wen Yu onto the hospital bed and kissed her, Guo Xiang was right outside.
Guo Xiang had witnessed how tender Wen Yu's kisses could be. His entire body tensed with anger, taut like a drawn bowstring, ready to snap at any moment.
Finally... when the faint sounds from Wen Yu became unbearable, Guo Xiang, unable to contain himself, punched the wall opposite him.
Blood splattered.
Guo Xiang's palm was covered in blood.
But he seemed numb, unmoved, his expression as calm as water.
For a moment, Guo Xiang had the urge to burst into the ward and take Wen Yu away right under Louise Luo's nose. But Guo Xiang knew better; the moment he stepped in, his engagement with Luo Chen would be instantly voided.
Everything he had worked so hard for would vanish in an instant!
Guo Xiang abruptly left and drove to a somewhat rundown neighborhood.
He had lived here for two years. The security guards still remembered him, warmly welcoming him as he drove in, "Mr. Guo is back!"
Guo Xiang nodded expressionlessly.
He entered a room on one of the floors. An 100-square-meter apartment filled with all his memories with Wen Yu.
At that time, the Guo family was on the brink of bankruptcy. They squeezed into this old building, barely making ends meet. Even meals required Guo's wife to haggle for cheap, wilted vegetables in the market...
They struggled to get by.
To protect his pride, Wen Yu often came to cook for him, providing financial support in subtle ways.
She was a naive woman!
She thought Guo Xiang loved her, but from start to finish, he had only used her.
Wen Yu had never understood the sequence of events!
Even now, Wen Yu believed that Wen Boyan (Wen Yu's father) had suffered because of her.
She never knew that Wen Boyan, years ago, had been selected by Guo Xiang as the scapegoat, and she, Wen Yu, was merely a tool to gain Wen Boyan's trust.
This tool was too naive, and in the end, Guo Xiang couldn't bear to discard her.
Ha! Even if he achieved success and fame, where could he find such a naive woman who loved him unconditionally?
He wanted to keep her by his side!
Cook for him, gently massage his forehead when he was weary, and perhaps he would allow her to bear his children!
If he replaced Wen Yu's father with another person, it might be troublesome to him and the company !
Guo Xiang walked out onto the balcony and slowly lit a cigarette.
After continuously smoking about 4 or 5 cigarettes, he made a call to his secretary.
"Any updates from Wen Yu 's father's side? Or the cases handled fully by Lawyer Jiang?"
The secretary nodded.
Guo Xiang gave a few emotionless instructions.
The secretary was shocked.
Having worked with Guo Xiang for a long time, she was aware of his relationship with Wen Yu and couldn't help but plead for Wen Yu, "Mr. Guo, Miss Wen... after all..."
Guo Xiang's tone was cold, "Do it as I said. Swift and clean."
The secretary fell silent for a moment and agreed.
At that moment, Luo Chen called. Guo Xiang was in no mood to answer, but as she persisted with multiple calls, he finally picked up.
"Guo Xiang, where did you go?"
"My hand hurts. Can you come over and apply medicine for me?"
"My parents are coming tomorrow, probably to discuss the wedding date. Let Aunt Guo come over, okay?"
Guo Xiang's mind was filled with the image of Wen Yu being kissed by Louise Luo, his body feeling numb. As Luo Chen's insistence increased, he replied tersely,
"I got it."
After hanging up, he thought, that's enough!
When a man gains power, what does he lack? Even after 20 years, he wouldn't regret today's decisions.
