Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 577

Chapter 577: Chapter 605: Rectification

Wang Guihua mostly just wanted to vent some anger on her son and daughter-in-law, how could she have thought that he really wanted a divorce? Wang Guihua was completely dumbfounded. She had always just tried to manipulate Yang Hongying a bit, as she was always so easygoing and had a good temper. Who knew it would escalate to this! She never really considered that they would actually get divorced.

If they really got divorced, what would others think of her son? Whether Gu Juntao would look for another woman to marry is the secondary issue—the most critical one is that her husband, Gu Zishan, would probably tear her apart!

Now, Gu Zishan’s attitude towards her is especially poor.

Seeing her son so calm, she felt even more panicked inside. She tried to speak to him several times, but Gu Juntao simply ignored her.

By this time, Yang Hongying had already come out with her ID and household registration book. Her eyes were red, it was clear she had been crying.

Wang Guihua feigned calmness and said, "If you apologize, I’ll consider not letting you divorce."

Yang Hongying was filled with hatred, she glared at Wang Guihua coldly, "I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize? My divorce from Gu Juntao is not because you demanded it. With you, you cannot control me!"

"Look at what she’s saying!" Wang Guihua looked at her son aggrievedly.

Gu Juntao said calmly, "You take the child and stay with my sister-in-law for a day. I’ll call you to divorce then."

Yang Hongying bit her lip and said nothing, tears in her eyes, holding tight to her daughter’s hand as they walked out. Even though Nannan didn’t quite understand, she knew her parents were separating and wouldn’t be able to be together anymore, so she couldn’t help but cry.

Gu Juntao just watched her coldly, with no expression in his eyes.

Nannan cried, "Daddy, do you really not want me anymore?"

Gu Juntao squatted down and wiped her tears, "Even though we’re divorcing, I’m still your dad. I will come and see you when I have time. I’ll take you out to play; I’ll take you to the park, okay?"

Nannan turned her head and cried to Wang Guihua, "I was wrong, I’m sorry Grandma, please don’t break them up, I’m begging you!"

Yang Hongying choked, "Enough, let’s go."

"Grandma, I was wrong, I’m sorry! Hit me instead, don’t let us separate!" Nannan ran over and hugged Wang Guihua’s leg, crying very sadly.

Yang Hongying cried while holding her daughter’s hand, "Stop crying, you did nothing wrong. Let’s go."

She absolutely would not allow her granddaughter to be insulted and bullied in the same way she was.

Wang Guihua stood there stiffly, watching the child cry heartbreakingly, suddenly feeling that she was too despicable. What would people think if they knew? As if she forced the couple to divorce and bullied a young child?

She hurriedly said, "If you get divorced, you get divorced. Just don’t tell outsiders I was behind it—I won’t admit to it." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Yang Hongying said nothing, picked up Nannan, wiped her tears, and headed to the door. At the doorway, Gu Juntao opened the door and said quietly to Yang Hongying, "Hold on for a few days, I’ll deal with my mom."

"Huh?" Yang Hongying looked at him in surprise. She hadn’t expected her husband to say that; she truly believed they were going to divorce.

"If we don’t set her straight, we can’t live our lives. Hang in there. I love you, honey." Gu Juntao pointed inside the house, shook his head at her, then kissed her hard and turned back inside.

Gu Juntao glanced at the door, thinking, if this time isn’t a good enough commotion, then we’ll never be able to live a good life with Yang Hongying.

Wang Guihua made some food, but he wouldn’t eat it, even when she brought it over.

Wang Guihua was anxious but shouted on the surface, "Fine, don’t eat if you don’t want to. Starve if you’ve got the guts!" Saying this, she slammed the door and left.

That night Wang Guihua slept on the sofa outside, feeling very depressed, she also hoped nothing would happen.

The next morning, as expected, Gu Juntao still didn’t eat and didn’t go to work, just lying there without moving.

"Get up! Hurry up and eat, go to work, stop being stubborn!" No matter how much Wang Guihua called him, Gu Juntao wouldn’t listen, as if he were dead.

Wang Guihua went to pull Gu Juntao’s wrist to get him up, but Gu Juntao was much stronger than her, he broke free from her grip and continued lying there.

Wang Guihua shouted in frustration, "Can’t you see how worried I am?! You just continue like this!"

Gu Juntao said, "Mom, you know I truly care about you. You and dad weren’t doing well, so I let you stay in my house. My wife always endured you, was scolded by you, and later didn’t even dare to come home, avoided you. You didn’t like my wife, I also endured. I have no regrets towards you. Now you want me to divorce, I’m doing as you asked. I owe you nothing now, don’t keep ordering me around."

"You child..."

"Don’t push me. Once I get over this, I’ll go divorce. Whatever you want, I’ll give you. At worst, I’ll stay like this my whole life with you, consider it repaying your upbringing." He closed his eyes and said nothing more.
