Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 20: Let's Get a Divorce

"He knows his mistakes?" Gu Shaoting sneered at the corners of his mouth. "If he knew his mistakes, he wouldn't have been so insatiable. He brought this upon himself."

"Are you going to force him to death? Do you want to force me to death too?" Shu Pan pleaded with a glimmer of hope. Perhaps due to her agitation, she suddenly felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen.

"He has given up years of hard work willingly. Isn't that punishment enough? He's just a sick old man now. Can't you give him a chance?" Shu Pan pleaded repeatedly. At this point, she had no other options left.

Gu Shaoting remained silent, stood up, and looked down coldly from his elevated position.

Shu Pan gave up hope, her expression dazed. She rubbed her aching forehead and choked, "Gu Shaoting, let's get a divorce."

Gu Shaoting was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to say those words. His face turned frosty. "I thought I made it clear enough. The debts of the father must be repaid by the daughter."

"Is it worthwhile to go to such extremes? I beg you, Gu Shaoting, spare us," Shu Pan pleaded, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"Depending on your behavior, maybe one day I'll get tired and stop playing this game," Gu Shaoting said, feeling stifled. It seemed like there were some things he didn't want to say, but they slipped out nonetheless.

Shu Pan's heart was in her throat, her expression unchanged, as if she had already anticipated this outcome. After a moment of vacancy, she slowly said, "You deliberately made me take birth control pills so that you could take revenge on my family today, without any concerns."

Gu Shaoting didn't expect her to know. "Yes, I was waiting for this day."

"Your ex-girlfriend has returned, and I happened to make room for her. Is it fun for us to drag this on?" A faint smile appeared on Shu Pan's face, but it was empty and weak. Although she had known the truth for a while, hearing him say it like this felt like a knife in her heart.

"That's my business. You just mind your own business. Perhaps I'll be merciful and spare Shu Laide," Gu Shaoting believed she had read the newspaper, but he didn't intend to hide it from her. Although nothing had happened when he was drunk, he wanted her to misunderstand and suffer. That made him feel good.

With a two-meter distance between them, their eyes locked, freezing the scene in time.

Shu Pan curved her lips but didn't say anything. She silently turned her face away, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. Stepping out of the office with heavy footsteps, everything in front of her became blurred.

Outside of Gu Group, a cold wind blew. This winter was truly cold.

Shu Pan pulled up her collar, her nose turning red from the wind.

Having stayed outside for a while, it was already past 7 p.m. when she returned home. Upon entering, the house was dark. Shu Pan realized that she hadn't eaten anything the whole day, and her stomach growled. She went into the kitchen and quickly cooked a bowl of noodles, forcing herself to eat something.

Feeling dazed and lethargic all day, Shu Pan finished her noodles, tidied up, and took her pajamas to the guest room. When she came out to get a drink of water, she happened to encounter Gu Shaoting returning home. Shu Pan's lips moved but she didn't say anything.

The study's light remained on all night as Gu Shaoting stayed there.

Shu Pan also tossed and turned in the guest room throughout the night. Having not slept a wink, her complexion was very poor.
