My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 504 Silent Vigil (8)

It’s been a day.

From the moment he stormed off yesterday until now, it’s been almost a whole day. He and Dong Xin Yan have, as she wished, not seen each other, and they haven’t even contacted each other at all.

When he left yesterday, he was really angry. Every word Dong Xin Yan said was like an invisible blade, stabbing deeply into his heart.

It dragged him from the pinnacle of ecstasy down to rock bottom in an instant. Even darker than despair, it was in that moment that he realized.

That his assumptions were so laughable.

That his love for her, to her, was such a heavy burden.

All he did was love her, care about her, and yet that was wrong too.

No one could understand the extent to which he was hurt at that moment.

He had read a cliché piece of relationship advice before, which described love: Love suddenly gives you armor and simultaneously gives you a soft spot. He had no armor, and his soft spot was completely exposed, yet the one who stabbed at his vulnerability was the person he loved the most.

...

"Gu Ningyi, I think we need to cool down for a bit. During this time, let’s not meet."

...

Her cold voice, uncontrollably, echoed once more in his ears. Gu Ningyi’s eyes darkened, and his wandering consciousness slowly returned bit by bit.

His hand slowly clenched, and he forced himself to move his gaze away from the phone, forcing his attention back to the document.

He actually hadn’t planned on dealing with the Zhou Group or acting against Zhou Yalin so soon.

Although after Dong Xin Yan told him the truth from back then, he wished he could repay everyone who had ever hurt Dong Xin Yan a hundredfold.

But based on Dong Xin Yan’s account, it was only regarding Zhou Yalin, yet he felt that things weren’t that simple on the surface. It would be best to find out everything before taking action.

However, they were just unlucky.

His pent-up anger had nowhere to go. He couldn’t bear to hurt Dong Xin Yan, he couldn’t deal with Cheng Ziyang just yet, so the Zhou Group and Zhou Yalin became his first targets to vent his fury.

If not for Zhou Yalin, he and Dong Xin Yan wouldn’t have missed out on so many years. If they hadn’t missed out, there wouldn’t be a damn Cheng Ziyang barging in, becoming the biggest and most stubborn obstacle between him and Dong Xin Yan, an obstacle he couldn’t remove.

This resentment was something he couldn’t swallow, no matter what. So, he had to deal with them first, as a way to open up the path.

Gu Ningyi smirked coldly, flipping to the last page, and looked at the massive breach of contract penalty highlighted in bold red fonts, his lips curling slightly with extreme irony.

The money was substantial, but so what?

Over the years, the development of the Zhou Group had been on a downhill trajectory. If it weren’t for the close cooperation with the Gu Family, riding on their winds, how could they have remained stable until now? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

As Zhou Yalin’s father aged, he became more muddled and hesitant, and Zhou Yalin’s brothers were all more frivolous than the last, each one more useless, indulging in eating, drinking, playing, and women, all of which they were skilled at, but doing business... heh.

Once he completely terminated the cooperation with them, the Zhou Group would, in an instant, collapse with a snap.

This money could at most sustain them for six months.

After six months, the Zhou Group would surely slowly, slowly, disappear from the business world, disappear from everyone’s sight...
