Chapter 250 -249: If You Can’t Do It, Divorce Him! (Extra)

“`

Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Siting in disbelief.

In the past, he would never say such things in front of her!

He actually said she was becoming senile!

Old Madam Gu was so angry that her face turned an iron blue.

“It’s not that I’m senile, it’s that you’ve been bewitched by someone!” Old Madam Gu said in distress, “It’s my fault; while there’s still time, you should quickly get a divorce from her!”

Gu Siting’s hands, which hung by his sides, suddenly clenched into fists.

His tense jawline hardened, and a murderous aura began to emanate from him.

“Old Madam, you are the elder I respect the most. Marrying Ming Yao was the biggest compromise and concession I’ve ever made.” Even when Ming Yao repeatedly courted death, he had never resented Old Madam Gu’s decision.

But fortunately, the heavens favored him by bringing Little Yao into his life.

Gu Siting’s dark eyes stared at Old Madam Gu, his voice low and cold, “I am not a puppet on your strings; I have my own thoughts and life.”

“You know perfectly well the state of the Gu family’s internal struggles for power and control within the company. If it hadn’t been for me, the Gu family might have long since disappeared from the ranks of Li City’s aristocracy!”

“You supported me as the Person in Charge of the Gu Family because you are not Gu Mingde’s biological mother; although he pretends to be filial to you, he harbors wild ambitions. Once in power, you will have no good days ahead!”

“I fought my way through darkness and bloodshed to become the Person in Charge of Gu Corporation so that you could rest easy with the authority of the Matriarch of the Gu Family in your hands. It wasn’t for you to repeatedly interfere with my marriage!”

Old Madam Gu trembled with anger, “You…”

Wen Qing hurriedly helped Old Madam Gu, calming her chest, “Old Madam, please don’t get angry.” Wen Qing then looked at Gu Siting, “Fourth Young Master, you shouldn’t speak to the Old Madam like that!”

Gu Siting stood not far from Old Madam Gu and Wen Qing, wearing a knee-length black coat, his short black hair framing his indifferent and cold eyes, with his handsome features covered by a chilling frost that was intimidating without being cold.

“Aunt Wen Qing, you’ve been by Old Madam’s side for many years, and I have always respected you. But lately, have you lost sight of your place?” The man’s lips curled coldly, “When Old Madam and I are speaking, is there a place for a servant like you to interject?”

Wen Qing was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she dared not say another word.

Old Madam Gu coughed and looked at Gu Siting in disbelief.

The little boy who had been bullied and sought refuge in her embrace, showing such vulnerability, had completely grown up.

He exuded the aloofness of someone in power and a powerful and cold aura capable of crushing everything.

Old Madam Gu clearly felt that she could no longer control him.

This indifferent and distant Gu Siting made her feel alienated and aggrieved, mixed with an indescribable emotion.

“Grandmother, I hope you will weigh your options carefully. With my support, you still hold the position of the Matriarch of the Gu Family.” He left the latter part unsaid, but Old Madam Gu knew well that without his support, she would be nothing.

“Ming Xiaoyao is now my bottom line. Unless she decides to leave me first, I will not divorce her!”

Old Madam Gu coughed even more violently.

With a puff, she spat out a mouthful of blood, overwhelmed by anger.

Wen Qing cried out in alarm, “Old Madam!”

Gu Siting, who was about to turn and leave, frowned deeply at Old Madam Gu’s current condition.

He knew very well that his words had been very harsh.

But he did not want the person he cherished most to continue to hurt his wife!

Looking at Old Madam Gu vomiting blood, Gu Siting’s expression was complex, and his hands by his sides tightened and tightened again.

At that moment, a slender figure walked in.

Ming Yao had come looking for Gu Siting after learning he was in Old Madam Gu’s room.

But at the door, she had overheard his conversation with Old Madam Gu.

To be honest, she was shocked and also deeply moved.

“`

She hadn’t expected Tyrant Gu to say such harsh words to Old Madam Gu for her sake.

But she understood that Tyrant Gu really cared about his relative, Old Madam Gu.

After all, during his most painful and darkest times, it was Old Madam Gu who had given him a ray of light.

She didn’t want to strain his relationship with Old Madam Gu over her.

It would only cause him pain!

“Husband, give this medicine pill to grandma to take,” Ming Yao handed Gu Siting a medicine pill.

Gu Siting’s features tensed.

Ming Yao knew he was too proud to back down, so she pushed strongly against his back with her small hand.

Gu Siting walked stiffly towards Old Madam Gu, wanting to feed her the medicine pill Ming Yao had given him, but the next second, Old Madam Gu swatted the pill away.

Old Madam Gu’s eyes were red as she looked at Ming Yao, “You didn’t succeed in harming my big brother, and now you want to harm me? Ah Ting might be bewitched by you, but I won’t be!”

Ming Yao’s long eyelashes trembled.

She walked a few steps towards the bedside, looked at Old Madam Gu’s pale face and the fresh blood at the corner of her mouth, and said calmly, “Grandma, I understand you have grievances against me. But Uncle Grandfather was saved by me, and that Prof. Wei took credit for my deed!”

Old Madam Gu didn’t believe a word from Ming Yao.

Ming Wan and Ming Guoan had personally told her that Ming Yao came from the countryside and knew nothing about medicine.

If she knew anything, it would be like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.

Besides, Prof. Wei was a disciple of the divine doctor Fox!

If Prof. Wei said he saved the old master, could Ming Yao be better than Fox’s closed-door disciple?

Ever since Old Madam Gu found out that Ming Yao claimed credit for Shi Yuan’s achievement in saving her, she thought that Ming Yao’s skin was extraordinarily thick.

Ming Yao herself knew that Old Madam Gu wouldn’t easily believe her, so she curled her lips slightly and said in a clear, cold, and determined voice, “The day after tomorrow is the Li City Medical Competition, I will prove my innocence and expose Prof. Wei’s true colors!”

“If I can’t do it, I will fulfill grandma’s wish,” she continued, glancing at the tall and handsome man beside her, “and divorce your grandson!”

As Ming Yao spoke, she could feel the temperature around them dropping suddenly.

She cast down her long eyelashes, not daring to glance at the man beside her.

Old Madam Gu looked at Ming Yao. She was so certain and full of confidence, as if she were indeed more skilled than Prof. Wei, that she almost believed her!

“I hope you keep your word!”

Ming Yao’s lips curled up slightly, “Of course, and if I do succeed, I also hope grandma will drop her prejudice against me!”

“You do it first, then we’ll talk!” Old Madam Gu said impatiently, waving her hand, “I’m tired, you all should leave now!”

…

After leaving Old Madam Gu’s room, Ming Yao looked at the man who was striding away without waiting for her, and she nervously ran after him.

Her pale fingertips lightly pinched the man’s sleeve, “Husband, are you angry?”

The man shook off Ming Yao’s hand that was holding his sleeve and continued to walk forward, his handsome face pallid with anger, obviously displeased.

The two returned to the small courtyard, one after the other.

As soon as Ming Yao entered, her wrist was seized by the man, who then pinned her against the door frame.

“Ming Xiaoyao, how dare you use divorce as a wager?”
