Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 439 - 440: Implementing the Divorce Rumour

Chapter 439: Chapter 440: Implementing the Divorce Rumour

Xia Yangyang responded, “I see. It seems I really did misunderstand Aunt Liu.”

Xia Yangyang’s sudden change of stance was something Liu Ruyan had not expected.

After all, Xia Yangyang was known for her straightforwardness, and she was not one to tolerate any form of deceit.

When she returned earlier in the day, she confronted Liu Ruyan right away. She must have noticed something on the golf course.

Liu Ruyan denied everything, but she knew deep down that Xia Yangyang would never believe her.

Xia Yangyang’s odd reaction left Liu Ruyan puzzled.

She managed a weak smile and said, “I’ll go take a shower first, then I’ll visit your father in the hospital.”

As Liu Ruyan climbed the stairs and disappeared from sight, Xia Yangyang’s face gradually hardened.

Xia Yangyang understood that with someone like Liu Ruyan, getting into an open confrontation, even if she didn’t admit anything, was not a good idea.

Especially when Liu Ruyan was constantly using her father’s reputation as a threat.

These days, Xia Yangyang’s life had been a straight line between the Xia Family villa and the hospital.

Liu Ruyan, on the other hand, had not been going out as much.

Although she often visited Xia Liangdong in the hospital, she was not genuinely concerned about his condition.

All the medical decisions for Xia Liangdong were made by Xia Yangyang.

She was also the one who constantly communicated with the medical team.

At the end of the day, Xia Yangyang found it all quite sad.

Even once, Liu Ruyan had not helped Xia Liangdong bathe or change his clothes.

Xia Yangyang was not sure when Liu Ruyan had gotten involved with that man, but she was certain that Liu Ruyan no longer had any affection for her father.

Xia Yangyang couldn’t quite name the feeling that stirred within her. It seems that it’s only in the worst of times that one’s true colors are revealed.

Gu Qichen also often came to visit.

The elder statesman even visited a couple of times.

He still didn’t know that Gu Mingzhu and she had had a falling out.

He continuously consoled her not to be sad, that the Gu Family was always there for her.

Xia Yangyang looked at the elder’s white hair and couldn’t bring herself to say anything.

As each day passed, Xia Yangyang continued her vigil at the hospital.

But Xia Liangdong’s condition showed no signs of improving.

He lied there quietly, like he was asleep.

All this time, Xia Yangyang would talk to him every day, sharing words that had been left unsaid for a decade.

Sometimes, Xia Yangyang thought that this was alright.

If her father never woke up, she would keep him company for the rest of her life.

March 15 was Gu Qichen’s birthday.

The Gu household naturally threw a big party and invited all the big shots in town.

However, Xia Yangyang did not attend.

Rumors started circulating in the media.

After all, Xia Yangyang’s popularity was at its peak in the entertainment industry, plus “Future” had finished shooting and was in the middle of a promotional campaign.

Adding to that, the news of Xia Liangdong’s accident had put Xia Yangyang in the media spotlight recently.

However, she was not concerned about such things.

Yet, this was the first time the entertainment media had reported rumors of her divorce from Gu Qichen.

The proof being that Xia Yangyang was absent from Gu Qichen’s birthday banquet.

Of course, the entertainment media dug up numerous pieces of supposed evidence.

For instance, since the accident, Xia Yangyang had been staying at the Xia family villa and had never once returned to the Gu Family house or to Maple Villa, their earlier love nest.

Furthermore, although Gu Qichen frequently visited the hospital, the two of them were never seen entering or leaving together.

This was a clear sign of relationship troubles.

The most compelling piece of evidence thrown by the press was that Beijing socialite Xi Zijun was frequently seen entering and leaving the Gu Family residence.

This further solidified the rumors of marital strife between Gu Qichen and Xia Yangyang.
