Chapter 1195: For Kinship, For Justice (2)

Time seemed endless as if a century had passed, and Doris was still waiting for the court session to take place.

Initially, Gu Qiwu thought that he would only see Doris at court the next day, but a day before their session, she returned to the Gu family mansion.

Their court session was about to take place soon. However, Gu Qiwu could not just stop managing matters at Hui Gu, so after his meeting with Mu Lingshi at the Bamboo Teahouse, he returned to City B and did not contact Doris.

Doris had come back to pack up her things.

They had been together for 20, almost 30 years. The fact that they could just get divorced after something like that had happened, she did not feel guilty at all. Gu Qiwu could not help but feel that everything that he had put into the relationship was amusing.

Nonetheless, Gu Qiwu did not stop Doris. He just sat on the sofa indifferently and continued flipping through the document in his hand.

Suddenly, a voice was heard saying,"You shouldn't be so stubborn. You'd do better that."

Gu Qiwu paused what he was doing. He then looked up to where the sound came from. Doris stood coldly before him in all her exquisiteness while a burning hurt gathered in those cold, blue eyes.

When he saw that she was not being friendly, Ah Yong slowly went up to her, but Gu Qiwu said, "Retreat first."

Stunned, Ah Yong then nodded and answered, "Yes, Boss!" Then, he retreated.

"I shouldn't? Are you here to tell me what I shouldn't do?" Gu Qiwu smiled coldly as he slowly closed the document in his hand and responded nonchalantly in a tone that was filled with disdain, "Haven't you always thought that everything should be done as you say? Or did you think that you should be betraying me and cheating on me?"

"Gu Qiwu, don't be so mean with your words. You abandoned me first. That's the truth no matter how many times you say it. Why do I have to be faithful to you?" Doris sneered. One could not tell what she was feeling from those eyes of hers.

After a long period of recovery, her body had recuperated quite a bit. She was thinner from before, but her imposing manner did not reduce by one bit.

"You should've known that I'm like this. If I had known about your relationship with Mu Zi back then, do you think you would've had it easy?"

When Doris said this, a wave of anger flashed in her eyes. "Gu Qiwu, you're not a man. Are you happy that you messed with Mu Zi and me?"

"Doris! Even if those things are true, ask yourself how have I treated you all these years? And how have you treated me? The thing with Mu Zi was more than 20 years ago. Haven't I been good to you?"

"Do you think that everything you did could make up for that and cover up your mistakes?" Doris jeered scornfully, "Dream on! Some things, once done, are done! Now, let's just call it even. If you're willing to agree to my conditions, I'm willing to drop my lawsuit."

"Agree to your conditions? Whatever it is, you're just aiming for the Gu family's assets, aren't you?" A sneer flashed across Gu Qiwu's lips and he scoffed, "You can dream on too!"

"Gu Qiwu, if you're going to be like that, then don't blame me for disregarding our kinship! I will always get what I should get and what I want to!" Doris' cold tone was certain.

"If you really cared about the kinship we had, you wouldn't have done such a thing today. Doris, don't make yourself seem so important. It doesn't help to use up all of my feelings for you. Not everything's within your control!" Gu Qiwu said and his tone began to sound nonchalant.

"Alright, since you're so confident, I will look forward to it then. Also, I know that you went to see Mu Lingshi," Doris said, then suddenly paused as she looked at him with a sharp gaze.

"She's my daughter with Mu Zi, so what's wrong with meeting her?"

The smile on Doris' face instantly looked sinister. "Now, you're admitting to it quickly, and that's why there's a need for us to go to court!"

"Since she was young, Shasha has gotten many things. It's time I make up to Lingshi now. What's wrong with that?" Gu Qiwu gave Doris a gloomy look.

He did not know that this woman was so sinister!

She had brought Mu Lingshi up for no reason, but Gu Qiwu obviously knew what she was trying to imply!

Was she also just thinking of getting the Gu family's assets?

"Gu Qiwu, let's wait and see then. There isn't much that can escape my control. There's no way you can abandon me and step on me!" While Doris did not continue, fury blazed in her blue eyes, and finally she suppressed the anger in her heart and turned to walk out the door.

However, Doris had just walked out when Gu Lingsha's wan and sallow face appeared before her...

...

Compared to the chaos over there, Mu Yuchen's situation was not going too well either.

ZhouZimo had been unconscious for quite a few days now. Just last evening, he had opened his eyes in a daze and then fell into a coma again. Li Si and Xu Yayan were shocked. Later on, the doctor checked on him and said he was fine. He just had a concussion and needed more rest before he could regain consciousness.

Li Si and Xu Yayan then felt relieved.

That morning, Mu Yuchen woke up quite early. Because he had been busyhandling these things until quite late last night and woke up early today, he looked quite fatigued. Li Si was worried by this sight.

"Master, how about you rest for a few days? You haven't had a break for a while now. Have breakfast first."

When Li Si came to send over some documents, the breakfast was still there on the table and was cold now. Clearly, Mu Yuchen had not touched it.

"It's fine. How's Zimo?" Mu Yuchen propped up his heavy head on one hand wearily and asked in a low, raspy voice. When he was done, he coughed lightly, sounding very hoarse and uncomfortable.

Li Si quickly poured him a cup of warm water and walked over. "Master, have a cup of water first. I'll get you some medicine. You've caught a cold!"
