MTL - I Married the Second Male Lead After Reincarnating-Chapter 3 Return to the right path

  Gu Huaixi didn't move, a layer of frost formed on his sharp-edged face, "I don't have time to waste time with you."

  In the past, if Gu Huaixi showed such an expression, Xia Zimu would not dare to make trouble anymore.

  She was afraid that if he made him anxious, he would not want her.

  So every quarrel ended in her defeat.

  Every time, she let go of her arrogance and dignity and begged him for forgiveness.

  She is the daughter of the Xia family in Yucheng, and she was born as a cloud in the sky.

  After getting married, Gu Huaixi trampled her dignity and arrogance into the mud.

  What she was most afraid of before was divorce.

   Now that she is determined to leave him, what else is there to be afraid of?

   "Mr. Gu, have you thought about it? If you waste these few hours, you won't have to waste the rest of your life on me anymore."

  The light words, like a small thorn, pierced his heart hard.

   Gu Huaixi sized her up for a long time, but he couldn't catch the slightest sign of lying or joking from her face.

  She really wanted to divorce him.

   The irritability in my heart is even worse.

   Seeing his silence for a long time, Xia Zimu lost his patience, and deliberately spoke to provoke him: "Mr. Gu is silent because he is reluctant to divorce me? Could it be that you are in love with me?"

  Gu Huaixi has his pride, and it is a shame for him to fall in love with a woman like Xia Zimu who has no brains and likes to mess around.

   Sure enough, as soon as Xia Zimu finished speaking, his expression became even uglier.

   "Xia Zimu, self-knowledge is the most important thing in life."

  He likes her?

   Unless he's crazy!

  Xia Zimu sat in a comfortable position, "In that case, Civil Affairs Bureau, let's go?"

  Gu Huaixi tried his best to calm himself down, not fussing like Xia Zimu, "I'm busy with work, a few days later."

   "This Friday, I remember that you had to sign a renewed contract with the Xia family that day, let's talk on the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

  She pressed her step by step, Gu Huaixi clenched the pen tightly, her fingertips turned white with force, "Okay, since you want to leave so much, I'll let you go!"

   "Then thank you very much, Mr. Gu." The goal was achieved, and Xia Zimu showed a bright smile on his face, "By the way, I heard that you have already pulled Yan Man out of the customs blacklist through your relationship?"

  If she remembers correctly, Yan Man also came back at this time in her previous life.

   It was from this time that her nightmare officially began.

   This time, she must retreat before being tortured by these two dogs and men.

  Gu Huaixi frowned slightly, "Why are you asking this? You want to frame her again?"

   "A casual question."

  He didn't deny it, so it was affirmative.

  He married her, but secretly he has been trying to get Yan Man back to China.

   Tut.

   What a good husband.

  Xia Zimu stood up, "I wish you and Yan Man a happy marriage for a hundred years."

   After speaking, she turned and left without dragging her feet.

  Gu Huaixi continued to work, and the documents were filled with square fonts, but he couldn't read any of them.

  …

  Leaving Huaifeng Group, Xia Zimu received a call from the hospital.

   "Miss Xia, Mr. Xia has an examination to be done in the afternoon. If it is convenient for you, you should come and accompany him."

   "Okay, I'll go now."

  Hung up the phone, Xia Zimu drove to the hospital.

  Yesterday she didn't go to see Xia Zhengguo, firstly because she was busy contacting a lawyer to deal with the divorce, and secondly because she was afraid to see him.

  The Gu family had an accident a year ago, and she begged Xia Zhengguo to mobilize two-thirds of the company's working capital to help the Gu family tide over the difficulties.

  The 5 billion saved the Gu family, but dragged down the Xia family and Xia Zhengguo.

  Not long after the funds were transferred to the Gu family, a problem occurred in one of the Xia family's projects, which urgently needed capital injection.

  The bank is no longer willing to provide loans because the Xia family has too much debt, and the Gu family has temporarily repaid the money. Xia Zimu can only watch the Xia family go from prosperity to decline.

  In the end, although the Gu family paid back the money, the Xia family's influence at that time was not as good as before. The money was basically used to repay debts and fill the funding loopholes of the project.

   And Xia Zhengguo was also hospitalized due to high-intensity work, and temporarily handed over the management of the company to Xia Zimu's cousin's family.

  In the last life, after Xia Zhengguo entered the hospital, he never came out again.

  The day he died, she wasn't by his side.

  Yan Man failed at work that day and was emotionally unstable. Gu Huaixi did not return all night.

   She was supposed to visit Xia Zhengguo, but she turned back halfway and went to a bar to get drunk.

  Woke up the next day, and she was notified that Xia Zhengguo had passed away.

  According to the doctor, Xia Zhengguo accidentally fell off the bed when he got up to get water, and the myocardial infarction recurred.

   With such a fall, the person is gone.

  Xia Zimu often wondered whether Xia Zhengguo had a heart attack recurrence before he fell and was destined to die, or whether his death was hastened by that fall.

  She couldn't find the answer.

   In the year since then, she has been living in regret.

   Fortunately, she now has a chance to start over.

  She wants to make up for the mistakes she made and bring the Xia family back to its original glory!

  Xia Zimu paid the fee, stood at the door of the ward, took a deep breath, and was mentally prepared before pushing the door open.

  Xia Zhengguo was sitting on the hospital bed, staring out the window with a pair of cloudy eyes in a daze.

  Seeing Xia Zimu come in, the slight melancholy between his brows dissipated instantly, and he smiled kindly at her.

   "Mumu, you are here."

  The departed relatives reappeared before Xia Zimu's eyes, so vivid and unreal, Xia Zimu's nose was sore, and he let out a muffled "um", and sat down beside the bed.

   "Why are you unhappy? Is that kid Gu Huaixi bullying you again?"

  Xia Zimu has liked Gu Huaixi for ten years, and Xia Zhengguo, who is a grandfather, also knows something about them.

  Gu Huaixi didn't have his precious granddaughter in his heart at all. In the past year of Xia Zimu's marriage, he was always worried that she would be bullied there.

  She forced a smile, served Xia Zhengguo a bowl of chicken soup, "No, I'm on good terms with him."

  Xia Zhengguo had been ill for a long time, and she had no intention of telling him about her divorce with Gu Huaixi until she stabilized.

   "You always say yes, but I think you are much thinner now than before..."

   "It's just to lose weight. Young people nowadays like to be thin. The thinner they are, the more beautiful they are."

  Xia Zhengguo took a deep look at her and said nothing.

  Xia Zimu quietly watched him eat, and when he finished eating, she packed up the tableware and said, "Grandpa, I want to go back to work in the company."

   "Gu Huaixi asked you to work in their company?"

   "No, I want to go back to Raven."

  Xia Zhengguo was slightly taken aback, "Don't you want to take over the family business?"

  Xia Zimu's brain is good at a young age, and Xia Zhengguo invested a lot of manpower and material resources in order to train his good granddaughter to be an excellent successor.

  Xia Zimu was really competitive, and was admitted to a top domestic college based on his strength.

   It's just that she went after Gu Huaixi.

  In the four years of university, she didn't learn much, but she got a clear idea of ​​Gu Huaixi's preferences.

  In his fourth year of internship, Xia Zhengguo intentionally arranged Xia Zimu to work in his company to familiarize himself with the work in advance, but Xia Zimu secretly went to Huaifeng to work without telling him.

  The purpose of doing this is just to be able to see him every day.

  All the enthusiasm in her life seemed to be on Gu Huaixi.

  Xia Zhengguo has always spoiled her, so he let her go.

  Even during the six months of his illness, he did not force her to come back to take over the company, but temporarily handed over the management of the company to a collateral person, who was only responsible for supervision and decision-making on major projects.

  Xia Zimu packed the tableware and sat down again, "I suddenly figured it out recently, and I want to help you share some responsibilities."

  Xia Zhengguo was silent for a while, and said: "I will arrange for someone to take you with me. If there is anything you can't handle, please ask Brother Qingyang and the others."

  Paused, he added: "If you are too tired, don't force yourself. Although Raven is not as good as before, it is still okay to keep you from working."

  Xia Zimu's heart warmed up, "Yeah."

  Xia Zhengguo sheltered her from wind and rain all his life, but she was not by his side before he died.

  In this life, let her be his safe haven.

  …

  Gu Huaixi came home from get off work, and habitually walked to the small restaurant after entering the door.

   Before taking two steps, he stopped.

   There is no smell of food in the air.

  He sneered.

  This woman has a temper this time, and she didn't even prepare dinner.

   "Housekeeper."

   He called out.

  The housekeeper came over soon, "Master, what are your orders?"

   "Where is she?"

  The housekeeper naturally knew who the "she" Gu Huaixi was referring to was.

   "Young Madam left yesterday afternoon. She said she had notified you, so I will not disturb your work."

   Gu Huaixi remembered that when Xia Zimu filed for divorce yesterday, she seemed to have said that she would move out immediately.

  He didn't go home last night, so he didn't know about Xia Zimu's departure.

  At that time, he only thought she was joking, as if he believed that she was just angry when she said divorce.

  What he didn't expect was that Xia Zimu seemed to be for real this time.

  Leaving is true, and divorce seems to be true too.

  In the past year, every day, Xia Zimu prepared meals for him to come home from get off work—even though he didn't go home half of the time.

   Today, no one is waiting for him anymore.

   Maybe there will be no more in the future.

  He frowned, strange emotions lingering in his heart.
