Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Secretly Accomplished a Big Task_1
 

“`

Originally, it was just a tentative remark, but I never expected Gu Yuanzhou to actually agree.

I seized the moment and immediately dragged him out the door.

I hailed a taxi on the roadside, and the car drove straight ahead.

By this time, it was already deep into the night.

The weather wasn’t good, the sky filled with dark clouds that obscured the heavens, the cold air adding a sense of oppression.

Standing on the Bay Bridge, I could see the river’s surface nearly thirty meters below my feet, the river’s water churning violently, the strong wind making my clothes flutter and shiver.

If he were to jump from here, he’d surely be smashed to pieces, wouldn’t he?

I held on to Gu Yuanzhou, pointing to the river beneath the bridge.

“Gu Yuanzhou, if you truly love me, love our two children, then jump from here. Then, our family can reunite on the road to the underworld!”

The wind on the bridge was strong, as if it were scattering my words.

Gu Yuanzhou’s cheeks were still flushed, still corroded by alcohol.

He leaned on the railing, gazing at the water’s surface below. He maintained this stance, as if he was really considering doing it.

After a long time, he turned his head back to look at me.

“I won’t jump!”

That he could give such an answer didn’t surprise me; I let out a sneer.

“Mr. Gu is truly heartless and faithless, as expected. Everything you said at the wedding was a lie. The one you love most is still yourself, not anyone else! So, stop telling me that you love your Ayun in front of me.”

I mocked him with a mix of cold sarcasm and scorching irony.

Thinking of Ding Yinuo lying in the hospital bed, I truly wished that Gu Yuanzhou would jump from this river.

It was at this moment that I realized, I really hoped this man could die.

Perhaps only with his death could the hate in my heart be extinguished, and those he persecuted could survive.

I even grabbed his arm, wanting to jump down with him.

However, Gu Yuanzhou did not jump.

Suddenly, he turned around, seized my arm, and step by step, walked down from the bridge using the stairs.

His strength was enormous, holding onto me so tightly, I didn’t have a chance to break free.

He led me all the way to the road underneath the bridge.

“I’m not jumping, not because I’m a coward, but because you’re still alive! You are my Ayun. If I died, what would you do?”

“Ridiculous, stop making excuses, you just don’t dare! You’ve never truly loved anyone, Gu Yuanzhou, you’ve only ever loved yourself in this lifetime.”

“Enough, come back with me! As long as you return to my side, I can prove it to you!”

“Sorry, it’s impossible for me to go back! From now on, my world will only have Ding Yinuo in it.”

I turned and walked away.

Yes, I no longer believed in Gu Yuanzhou.

No matter how much he cares about me now, no matter how much he loves me, it must be part of another scheme.

Is it to extort more money from my older cousin?

I’m not sure, but what’s certain is that I no longer trust him.

“Listen, Ayun, you’d better come back to me. I give you three days. If you don’t come looking for me within three days, then I won’t let the Ding family off.”

When such icy and terrifying words came out of his mouth, I was utterly shocked.

Just how remorseless and shameless can a person be to utter such words?

“Sorry, Gu Yuanzhou! I don’t accept your threats! The person I love is Ding Yinuo! I want to be with him for a lifetime!”

Indeed, such words weren’t just empty talk from me.

“`

After saying that, I immediately hailed a taxi and went straight to the Ding Family’s home.

It was already one o’clock in the morning, and Mrs. Ding was somewhat shocked to see me under the cover of night. She hurriedly pulled me inside and began to inquire with urgency.

“Miss Song, it’s very unsafe for you to wander around alone so late at night. Next time, please call your elder brother to pick you up!”

Feeling my ice-cold palms, she quickly made me a cup of hot tea.

At that moment, I saw that she was still in her pajamas. Under the light, her silver hair made her look even more haggard.

She held my hand, inquiring about my meals and living habits, and she was worried about my health.

“Miss Song, you need to take care of yourself too. Don’t neglect your own health while taking care of Yinuo.”

“Auntie, I’m fine, really. I came over tonight because I want to borrow Ding Yinuo’s household registration book and identity card!”

Mrs. Ding was momentarily stunned, as if she didn’t quite understand what I meant, and asked again.

After getting a definite answer from her, she then asked,

“What do you need these documents for in the middle of the night?”

“I need them for some personal matters. I promise I will return them to you by nine o’clock tomorrow morning! Don’t worry, I won’t do anything bad.”

As for the specific reasons, I wasn’t ready to reveal them just yet.

It wasn’t the right time.

Mrs. Ding didn’t ask any further, as she already trusted me a lot. She turned and went to the bedroom, soon returning with Ding Yinuo’s identity card and the household registration book.

“Sigh, Yinuo once said that he would make you a member of our household registration book. I didn’t expect that now…”

Mrs. Ding wiped the corners of her eyes and then handed the two documents over to me.

“Auntie, then I’ll be leaving now!”

I didn’t say anything more. I took the items and was about to say goodbye.

Mrs. Ding accompanied me all the way to the road,

“Otherwise, why don’t you stay here for the night and leave tomorrow? I’m worried about you being all by yourself.”

“It’s okay, I’m going to the hospital! I’m taking a taxi!”

Mrs. Ding was reluctant to let go of my hand until the taxi came around the corner. Only then did she let go, standing in place watching me get into the car before she finally left.

The next morning at eight-thirty, I called Su Peisheng…

After listening to my request, Su Peisheng hurried to the hospital.

By that time, I had already dressed Ding Yinuo in a black suit.

In fact, it was difficult to dress him myself, even though he had lost quite a bit of weight lying in the hospital bed for so many days.

After all, he was one meter eighty-eight tall and his weight was substantial; I simply couldn’t manage him on my own.

So I called a nurse over to help, and we finally got him dressed.

“Miss Song, I’m afraid this won’t work!”

“A person in a vegetative state is still a person! They have human rights too… Anyway, you came today to be our witness! In a moment, you’ll come with me to the civil affairs bureau!”

Su Peisheng sighed, “It’s only because Yinuo is my brother that I would agree to this at all. Otherwise, I would never consent. Let’s go!”

Though the process was difficult, the outcome was ultimately satisfactory.

It took some effort, but fortunately, Su Peisheng understood the law, he had some connections, and I was firmly determined, so getting things done wasn’t too hard.

After everything was taken care of, I booked a hotel and then called each of our friends and important members of the Ding Family one by one.

“What? Drinking? What are we drinking for, Ayun, I’m supposed to go to the movies tonight!”

Wenya posed a slight problem, refusing my invitation.

“Refund the movie ticket! I’m telling you, today is very important to me! If you don’t come, then we’re no longer friends—take your pick!”
