Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 599 - 364: Pain Beyond Compare

Chapter 599: Chapter 364: Pain Beyond Compare
"So, Ji Su, let me make myself clear, I, Gu Yucheng, will not allow any man to cuckold me!" Gu Yucheng shifted a bit from her, "Control yourself well, otherwise, I have many more ways to punish you!"
Ji Su gazed at her: "You have really fallen for Lu Xiao, haven’t you?"
The corner of Gu Yucheng’s lips curved, but he did not speak. He stepped on the accelerator, and the luxury car sped off on the road.
Ji Su turned her head towards the window. Wasn’t she asking for trouble with that question? Wasn’t she supposed to be blessing him and Lu Xiao? It was only because he had been intimate with his ex-wife again, so he refused to be with Lu Xiao!
Whether he truly loved Lu Xiao or not, Ji Su dared not guess anymore, but when she did guess, her heart ached unbearably!
...
Lakefront Villa.
Bei Ran was practicing calligraphy with a brush, standing in the cool shade by the lake, enjoying the refreshing breeze blowing over the water, comfortable and at ease.
Her belly had already grown larger. She placed one hand on her lower back and held the brush in her right hand, writing carefully on the rice paper. Each character was written meticulously, revealing her true nature in every stroke.
When Zhuo Yufeng came to see her, she was writing.
"Is it a single fetus? Twins? Or perhaps triplets?" Zhuo Yufeng approached her.
After finishing writing a character, Bei Ran put down the brush: "Do you want to try writing?"
"You know, I’ve never been fond of writing these things since I was a kid!" Zhuo Yufeng shook his head.
Bei Ran said: "Right, you’ve loved stories about police catching robbers since you were young, and then you really became a police officer! I checked, it’s a single fetus. It’s just that I’m being pampered at home every day, eating more and spending less energy, so I seem to have gained some weight, and my belly looks bigger as well!"
Zhuo Yufeng sat down, "Seeing your calm handwriting, your heart must be calm, too, right?"
"Oh, you’re telling me this?" Bei Ran raised her eyebrow, "Zhuo sir, you’re so busy, yet you’re here to chat with me?"
"I came to see you precisely because of Lu Xiao’s situation." Zhuo Yufeng didn’t hide it from her.
Bei Ran leaned back comfortably on the bench, "What’s wrong with her? Does she still like Gu Yucheng?"
"You guessed it right on the mark!" Zhuo Yufeng sighed, "You know, Gu Yucheng and Ji Su have always been entangled. I don’t want her to interfere in their lives anymore."
The corners of Bei Ran’s lips flashed with an imperceptible cunning, "Then you must take good care of her! She has no family around, you’re my good friend, I’m her good sister, so you be her good brother too!"
"If it weren’t for your sake, I would have ignored her long ago!" Zhuo Yufeng said with some irritation, "What’s so good about Gu Yucheng? Isn’t he just a handsome face that brings disaster to the country, and having lots of money, right?"
Bei Ran laughed out loud, "Well, he is handsome and rich, that’s his capital! Why don’t you give it a try?"
Zhuo Yufeng glared, "Are you making fun of me? I’m helping you out here!"
"Alright, I won’t laugh!" Bei Ran stifled her laughter, but the mirth in her eyes and brows couldn’t be stopped. It seemed that her childhood friend was about to reap the fruits of love too!
However, that being said, Lu Xiao being together with Zhuo Yufeng was something Lu Mojing would approve of as well. When Lu Mojing was in City A, he disapproved of Lu Xiao’s relationship with Gu Yucheng. Lu Xiao wants to become a policewoman, and Zhuo Yufeng is a boss with a strong sense of justice. Their union would be a match made in heaven!
However, at this stage, Lu Xiao’s thoughts weren’t on Zhuo Yufeng yet, and the astute Zhuo Yufeng, who was meticulous in handling cases, was quite obtuse in matters of love and had no idea that his significant other was almost a generation younger than him, Lu Xiao.
Although it’s an older man-younger woman pairing, it’s very popular nowadays!
The thought made Bei Ran even happier.
Zhuo Yufeng stared at her: "What’s making you so happy?"
Bei Ran shook her head with glee, "What do you know? A pregnant woman needs to laugh and be happy often so that the baby will be born smart and beautiful!"
"Alright! Keep your spirits up. I’m off." Zhuo Yufeng stood up to leave.
Watching his retreating back, Bei Ran called out, "Yufeng, you have to take good care of Lu Xiao! Don’t let her be wronged!"
In the evening, Gu Qingchen returned. He carefully preserved each and every piece of calligraphy she had written.
"Not being a famous calligrapher, why cherish my writings so much?" Bei Ran, with her protruding belly, asked him.
Gu Qingchen placed his head against her abdomen, interacting with the baby for a while, "The calligraphy you write are all treasures, much more beautiful than those of famous calligraphers!"
"Be careful or the famous calligraphers will come to settle the score with you!" Bei Ran laughed.
Though she said this, her heart was brimming with joy. After Gu Qingchen had put the things away and they had dinner, he took a walk with her by the lakefront.
Bei Ran looped her arm through his, feeling very happy inside.
"Husband, you’ve had a tiring day at work, and now you’re still accompanying me on a walk. Why don’t we sit for a while?" concerned for him, Bei Ran suggested.
Gu Qingchen was even more concerned about her: "I only have time in the evenings to accompany you more. The obstetrician said that pregnant women should avoid sitting for too long. You are the one who is enduring the most hardship. Has the baby been kicking?"
"Kick!" Bei Ran shouted, "Look, the little fist is already raised..."
Gu Qingchen’s large hand was placed on her stomach, and sure enough, he felt a tiny fist pack a powerful punch, "You little rascal, always bullying Mommy! When you’re born, Daddy’s going to spank you!"
"What if it’s a girl!" Bei Ran laughed, "Would you have the heart to spank her?"
Although Gu Qingchen was a doctor, he still chose not to find out the child’s sex.
Gu Qingchen also laughed: "Which girl is as naughty as this?"
"That’s not necessarily true, I was very naughty as a kid, always climbing trees with Yufeng to loot bird nests!" Bei Ran laughed happily, "Oh right, I’ve got to tell you, there might be something brewing between Yufeng and Lu Xiao..."
"He is thirty after all, at the age of standing firm on one’s feet, it’s about time to settle down!" Gu Qingchen said, then he sighed and brought the topic back, "Baby, if it’s a girl, I really wouldn’t bear to spank her!"
Bei Ran pouted and elongated her tone: "Oh... I see, you only love your daughter now, you don’t love me anymore, and hey, I’m telling you, little fish gets jealous..."
"If it really is a daughter, I’d be the happiest man alive. Look, I’ve got a beloved wife and two beloved daughters!" Gu Qingchen’s hearty laughter echoed under the moonlight, and the water lilies in the lake bloomed brilliantly along with his laughter.
In such a life, what more could one ask for!
...
Soon, Zhang Yulian’s trial began.
Ji Su did not attend, which was a stand she shared with Gu Yucheng. No matter how the judge ruled, that was what Zhang Yulian deserved.
Yang Junyi and his father were both present. When Yang’s father saw Zhang Yulian, he was particularly emotional, as if he wanted to rush forward and execute her himself.
Tian Xin was also there, sitting in the very corner, silently listening to the sentence being read out.
In the end, the judge sentenced Zhang Yulian to twenty years imprisonment for manslaughter.
Upon hearing this verdict, Yang’s father was unable to sit still: "What kind of crappy judge is this? She clearly murdered on purpose, if she hadn’t pushed my wife, would she have let go and left us? I refuse to accept this, I demand a retrial..."
"Dad, don’t be like this, don’t insult the judge in public. If you’re dissatisfied with this verdict, you can apply for a second-trial judgment," Yang Junyi said.
Yang’s father was indignant: "Is it because Gu Yucheng is rich that he has bought off the judge, then getting a twenty-year sentence and a reduction afterward, she will be out in a few years, but what about your mother? Your mother is lying cold in the ground, never to rise again..."
Yang Junyi embraced his father, "Dad, let’s leave first, I’ll take care of this..."
Yang’s father was still unwilling to go. He demanded an explanation from the presiding judge. No matter what Yang Junyi said, it was ineffective until the judge patiently explained, and only then did Yang’s father prepare to leave.
As Yang’s father was leaving, he noticed that Tian Xin hadn’t left and thus lashed out at Yang Junyi: "Are you still dating her?"
Yang Junyi angrily said: "Dad, what’s gotten into you today? Unsatisfied with the judge, and now Tian Xin? What has she done wrong? The judge is ruling according to the law, and it’s only natural for Tian Xin to come and observe."
"So that means, you haven’t ended things with her!" Yang’s father pointed at his son, "Are you being fair to your mother? Junyi, are you?"
"Dad, why have you become like this..." Yang Junyi argued on principle, but Yang’s father began to tremble violently.
"Junyi, stop talking!" Tian Xin said, "You should quickly take your uncle to the hospital! His health is not good; don’t make him angry anymore!"
She then turned to Yang’s father, "Uncle, please be assured! I am not in a relationship with Junyi anymore. I came today to listen to the judge’s opinion. I share your view that the sentence is too light; Zhang Yulian did not receive the punishment she deserves. If you need a lawyer, if you need to appeal a second time, I can recommend Lawyer Duan Feixun to you."
After hearing her say this, Yang’s father finally left with Yang Junyi.
Tian Xin walked out of the courthouse alone, standing in the sunlight, she suddenly thought of Tang Baijin. He had said not to see Yang Junyi; it would only make her heartache again.
She hadn’t quite believed it at first, but at this moment, she truly believed him!
Only if, Tang Baijin, we could be good friends for life, how wonderful that would be!
As she was thinking this, her phone rang.
She looked, it was a call from Tang Baijin. She couldn’t help but laugh out loud, making passersby think she was crazy, standing there laughing with the phone!
"Hello..." Tian Xin said softly.
Tang Baijin didn’t speak but listened intently, including to every breath she took.
"Why aren’t you talking?" Tian Xin wondered.
Tang Baijin was standing on a mountaintop; under the sky of city A, he was the person closest to the sun!
Tian Xin, when will you come? Then you will be the person in city A closest to the sun!
Meanwhile, in the hospital, after settling his father down, Yang Junyi called Tian Xin, but her line was busy.
