The Queen of Divorce

Seeing that Su Hua was so protective of that Ayao, Gu Beixian felt rather uncomfortable.

There was no obvious change on his face, but there was restrained and suppressed emotion in his eyes.

"I'm going out to have a cigarette." He said coldly and indifferently, then turned around and walked out.

When he closed the door, he used more force than usual.

However, Su Hua didn't notice.

Her mind was full of that night thirteen years ago, that nightmare-like late night, with howling winds, raging fires, endless pain, and desperate cries.

Ayao was the key to that nightmare.

Whenever he was mentioned, she would feel as if her heart was pierced by a sharp thorn, and a storm of emotions would rise in her heart, making it hard for her to calm down for a long time.

A tear silently slipped from the corner of her eye and dropped onto the blurry photo.

After a long, long time, Su Hua finally calmed down.

She wiped her wet eyes with the back of her hand and her gaze fell back on the photo.

She wondered who was secretly helping her.

She hadn't even told her own mother about her hand injury, for fear of making her worry. Only a very few people like Gu Beixian knew about it.

Gu Beixian could be excluded. He wouldn't hurt the woman he cared about.

Could it be Shen Huai?

Su Hua picked up her phone and called Shen Huai, asking, "Master Shen, do you know Chu Suosuo?"

Shen Huai paused for a moment and said, "I think I've heard this name somewhere. What's wrong?"

"Her hand was smashed with a hammer last night."

Shen Huai said "Oh" and then asked, "Do you want me to help find a doctor for her?"

"No, it's nothing. Thanks." Su Hua hung up the phone.

Obviously, it wasn't Shen Huai either.

Su Hua picked up the photo again and examined it carefully.

Since she married Gu Beixian, she had been living a secluded life. With her quiet and reticent nature, she didn't have many friends, and there were even fewer male friends.

She racked her brains but still couldn't recognize whose back view it was.

Gu Beixian smoked half a pack of cigarettes outside before he managed to adjust his emotions.

He pushed the door open and walked into the room.

Seeing Su Hua sitting on the hospital bed, holding the photo in her hand, with her brows tightly furrowed and looking worried, he paused for a moment, then walked to the bedside and sat down. He raised his hand and gently smoothed the fine lines on her frowning forehead.

He stared at her eyes with a heavy gaze for quite a while, then pulled her into his arms and hugged her.

The hug lasted a bit longer than a normal hug.

Su Hua smelled the strong cigarette smoke on him and asked softly, "Did you smoke a lot?"

"Yes."

"You finally quit smoking. Don't smoke anymore. Smoking too much is bad for your health."

"Okay."

After a while, he said again, "I'm sorry for making you sad just now."

Su Hua wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so she just said, "I'm hungry. Let's have a meal."

Gu Beixian let her go and asked the bodyguard to bring in the food.

After having the meal, Gu Beixian went to the company.

In the evening, Gu Nanyin came to visit Su Hua with a big bouquet of flowers.

As soon as she sat down after entering the room, she started complaining, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me when you were injured? If Brother Mo Chen hadn't mentioned it accidentally, I wouldn't have known you were in the hospital."

Su Hua smiled and said, "You have to go to school. Coming to see me would affect your studies."

"I'm about to graduate. I don't need to look for a job, and I don't want to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I'm so bored every day. If you had told me earlier, I would have come to chat with you to keep you from being bored, as long as you don't think I'm annoying."

Su Hua said softly, "I won't."

Gu Nanyin glanced at her swollen and red hand with the splint on it and said angrily, "Which damned bastard did this? They're asking for death, treating you so brutally."

"I got into trouble with a group of tomb raiders some time ago. A bald guy went to prison, and his sister came to take revenge."

Su Hua briefly told her the whole story.

Gu Nanyin was so angry after hearing it.

The two of them chatted for a while, and it got dark.

Gu Nanyin looked at her watch, picked up her phone and called Gu Beixian, "Brother, I've come to the hospital to see sister-in-law. I want to drink milk tea. On your way back, could you buy me a cup? You still remember what I like to drink, right? Don't forget to bring a cup for sister-in-law too."

Gu Beixian's faint voice came from the phone, "I'm in the hospital. If you want to drink, ask the bodyguard to buy it for you."

"I'm in sister-in-law's ward, but I didn't see you."

"I came to see Suosuo. I'll be back in half an hour."

Gu Nanyin couldn't sit still. She sprang up from the chair and walked to the window, saying, "Brother, you really disappoint me. Sister-in-law is injured and already in a bad mood, and you're still making her angry like this. Don't you know that what women dislike the most is men getting too close to their ex-girlfriends?"

Gu Beixian was silent for a moment and then said, "I'll be back in a while."

"Come back now, quickly."

Gu Beixian hung up the phone.

Gu Nanyin walked angrily to Su Hua's bedside and sat down. She looked at Su Hua as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, has brother been getting very close to Chu Suosuo recently?"

Su Hua nodded.

Gu Nanyin sighed, "Sister-in-law, you're too honest. You can't compete with her. She's always been so scheming since she was a child, so fake and coquettish. Even I can't outwit her."

Su Hua listened absent-mindedly and just said casually, "Really?"

"Yes. She's liked to compete with me for brother since she was a child. Our two families have business dealings, and we often get together for meals during festivals. She would always stick to my brother's side, saying 'Oh, Brother Beixian' in a coquettish way on the left, and 'Yingying, Brother Beixian' on the right. One moment she asked my brother to pick up food for her, and the next moment she asked him to peel shrimp for her. She was so delicate and affected. My brother seemed to be bewitched by her and treated her really well, indulging her in everything."

Su Hua felt a stabbing pain in her heart as she listened, but there was no emotion shown on her face.

Gu Nanyin said, "Later, I was so angry that I went to compete for her brother. I also kept calling 'Brother Mo Chen' and ordered him around, just to make her angry."

Su Hua had a rather good impression of Chu Mochen, so she said, "It seems that the two siblings are quite different in personality. They don't seem like a family."

"Yes, they're half-siblings. Chu Suosuo's mother is Brother Mo Chen's aunt and became a mistress and took over. She's really despicable." Gu Nanyin rolled her eyes.

Su Hua listened quietly.

"Come to think of it, Brother Mo Chen is quite pitiful." Gu Nanyin's mood suddenly became low, and she sighed, "His younger sister died in an accident not long after she was born. His mother was driven mad by the shock. His younger sister was originally engaged to my brother in an arranged marriage when they were children. If she were alive, she should be about your age."

Su Hua didn't know what to say, so she just curved the corners of her lips.

Before long, Gu Beixian came back.

He was carrying two cups of milk tea and some desserts in his hands. One was the mango pomelo s**o that Su Hua liked, and the other was the strawberry milkshake with whipped cream on top that Gu Nanyin liked.

Gu Beixian inserted the straw into the milk tea and handed it to Su Hua, "I bought it from your favorite store."

Su Hua reached out to take it. She smelled a faint sweet fragrance on his suit sleeve.

It was the perfume that Chu Suosuo usually used.

She casually glanced around and saw a cherry-red spot the size of a fingernail on his shirt collar. It was the same color as the lipstick that Chu Suosuo wore last time they met.

Su Hua felt as if she had been bitten by a cat. Her heart ached so much that it seemed to skip several beats.

It wasn't the first time she had experienced this kind of thing, but it still hurt so much every time, like being tortured in hell.

Su Hua squeezed the cup hard, laughed at herself, and said, "Thank you for your trouble. You're so busy but still bought milk tea for us."

Gu Beixian said casually, "I asked the driver to buy it."

Gu Nanyin took the milk tea from his hand, gave him a disdainful look and said, "Brother, you're just asking for trouble. If you keep doing this, you'll lose your wife. A woman as good as sister-in-law is one in a million. If you lose her, it'll be hard to find another one like her."

Gu Beixian's peripheral vision fell on Su Hua. Seeing that she was slowly drinking the milk tea while biting the straw, with her long eyelashes drooping down, showing no expression, he said casually, "Kids, don't interfere in adults' affairs."

Gu Nanyin looked as if she hated that he couldn't be made to see sense, "I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't listen to me, you'll regret it later. Hmph!"

Ten days later, at noon.

Gu Beixian finished inspecting a subsidiary company and rushed back to the hospital.

The two bodyguards who were supposed to be on guard at the door were gone. Gu Beixian was slightly displeased.

He raised his hand and pushed open the door of the ward. When he saw the person lying on the hospital bed was a stranger, his heart skipped a beat.

He quickly asked the nurse who came over, "Where's the patient named Su Hua who used to live here?"

The nurse thought for a moment and said, "She was discharged from the hospital. She left early this morning."

Gu Beixian's face darkened. They had agreed that he would come to pick her up when she was discharged.

But she left without even saying goodbye.

He picked up his phone and dialed Su Hua's number.

A mechanical female voice came from the phone, "The number you have dialed is powered off."

He opened WeChat and sent a message to Su Hua, but the message couldn't be sent.

She had blocked him.
