Su Xiaoxiao and Ji Xingyuan secretly kissed and slept in the same room at Gu's house. This incident could never be shaken off Gu Jingzhou's mind, making him more and more obsessed.

In addition, Gu's stock price had not recovered for a few days when it began to fall again due to online reports of Gu's tax evasion and bribery.

And a piece of land in the eastern suburbs that he really wanted to win the bid for was also won by other companies.

Also, every night, he and Ye Zisan slept on a bed, one on the bed and the other on the sofa. Not only did they have no desire to communicate, but it also made him miss Su Xiaoxiao more uncontrollably every night.

He missed her so much that he couldn't sleep all night.

Many unpleasant things caused him to be extremely emotionally unstable every day, either very irritable or very depressed.

One morning while having breakfast with his family, he said indifferently, "Dad, Mom, I'm planning to move to Dongcheng Mansion. It will be more convenient for me to go to the company."

"Are you going to move out?" Lin Jiahui was surprised.

"It's not us, it's just me."

"You're alone? What do you mean? Are you going to live separately from Zishan?" Gu Bodao immediately put down his chopsticks and asked angrily.

Ye Zisan lowered her head and chewed her breakfast slowly without saying a word.

"Yes!"

Gu Jingzhou no longer wanted to be a puppet obeying his parents' orders.

He deals with a bunch of stressful things at the company every day, and when he gets home, he has to continue to pretend to be a respectful couple with Ye Zisan in a hypocritical and repressed manner.

He didn't want to continue this boring life for another day.

"You unfilial son! How long have you been engaged to Zishan, and you're already living apart from her? How can you be worthy of her? How can you be worthy of the Ye family? I don't agree!"

"I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you. Vice President Ye, I'm sorry, you're indeed a competent actor, but I don't like acting!"

After saying something to Gu Bodao and Ye Zisan, Gu Jingzhou immediately stood up and left.

"Hey, Jingzhou, kid, what's wrong with you today?" Lin Jiahui wanted to call her son anxiously, but Gu Jingzhou didn't turn around.

"This rebellious son is truly rebellious! Zishan, don't worry, Dad won't let this rebellious son do anything wrong!"

Ye Zisan put down her bowl and chopsticks and smiled gently.

When she said she was going to have a fake marriage with Gu Jingzhou, it was actually a strategy that could be used either way.

Progress means that they can fall in love with each other as they spend time together day and night, and have the honor of becoming a real couple in the future.

Retreat and divorce after two years so that everyone can maintain their dignity.

She has tried hard during this period. She wants to try and see if Ji Xingyuan is the only one for her.

Maybe she could try to develop feelings with other men, but even though she slept in the same room with Gu Jingzhou every night, she never fell in love with him.

She knew that Gu Jingzhou was the same.

But she didn't expect that Gu Jingzhou, the president of Gu Group, was far less patient and contractual than she had expected. She was disappointed on this point.

However, she also admired Gu Jingzhou's unwillingness to compromise.

In wealthy marriages, most people just make do with what they have, so a man like him is considered an outlier.

So, she didn't blame him.

"Dad, Mom, no, Uncle, Auntie, you don't have to force Jingzhou. Jingzhou and I have tried hard, but we really don't have a spark. Let's just call it quits on the Gu and Ye families' engagement."

"What? Zishan, how can you just call off something as important as an engagement? I'll definitely go talk to Jingzhou properly. Don't scare me by saying such angry words!"

Lin Jiahui nervously held Ye Zisan's hand.

She really couldn't bear to part with this gentle, polite and graceful daughter-in-law.

Gu Bodao was also reluctant, but he was more concerned that if Ye Zisan broke off the engagement, the Gu family would lose the support of the Ye family.

He would never allow something so detrimental to the Gu family to happen because of his son's momentary impulse.

"Zishan, Dad knows you've been wronged. But don't worry, I'm still the boss of the Gu family. If Jingzhou dares to move out alone, Dad will definitely break his legs!"

"Uncle, aunt, Zishan appreciates your kindness. However, I have made up my mind, and Jingzhou has made up his mind too. Please don't force us anymore."

"I won't cancel this marriage, and I believe Jing Zhou will do the same. Otherwise, let's just consider it as a friendly negotiation between our two families, and cancel the marriage together."

"As for the cooperation between the Ye and Gu companies, please rest assured, uncle and aunt, I will not interrupt it just because I broke off the engagement with the Gu family. I can still guarantee this to you."

"Zishan, I'll go upstairs and pack my clothes. Uncle and aunt, please take care of yourselves!"

Compromising is not Ye Zisan's style, and besides, she and Gu Jingzhou have no feelings for each other.

After making her attitude clear to Gu Bodao and Lin Jiahui, she immediately went upstairs to pack her luggage, leaving in the same way she had come.

It was just a brief experience of trial marriage.

Let her realize firsthand that a marriage without love is indeed a cage. Even if half of the reason is for profit, it is not worth entering into.

Seeing her future daughter-in-law gone like this, Lin Jiahui still found it hard to accept this unexpected reality.

"Bodao, is Zishan and our son really over? They haven't even been engaged for a month. Why do young people these days treat marriage so frivolously? I really don't understand them anymore!"

"I'm going to the company and have a good talk with that rebellious son, humph!"

Gu Bodao understood. He knew that his son was like this today because he was still thinking about Su Xiaoxiao.

This disappointing son, who had such a perfect wife, did not cherish her and instead chose to like a woman of low status who already had a fiancé. It was really disappointing to him.

He immediately asked the driver to prepare the car and take him to Gu's company.

Gu Jingzhou was yelling at his assistant He Bin in the office. Gu Bodao walked in and He Bin was temporarily freed and left.

"You've driven your wife away and she even said she wanted to break off the engagement with you. Are you satisfied now?" Gu Bodao asked Gu Jingzhou directly with a dignified look on his face.

"It's only a matter of time before I break off the engagement with her."

"Hmph, even if it's only a matter of time, you can't back down at this juncture! Have you considered the interests of the Gu family? Do you know how much of a negative impact the Gu family will have if the news of your broken engagement gets out?"

"How big of a negative impact could it have? The worst-case scenario is that Gu's company would declare bankruptcy."

Seeing his father's furious face, Gu Jingzhou instead felt calm and resigned.

"Snapped!"

Gu Bodao immediately slapped him hard.

He shouted angrily, "You bastard, I built the Gu Group with all my hard work, and now you're in charge and you want to bankrupt it. Are you still worthy of being my son, Gu Bodao?"

"For the Gu family, I even lost the woman I loved for more than ten years. So what if I am worthy of being your son? When have you ever understood me?"

Gu Jingzhou's pair of black eyes were filled with tears, and there was stubbornness and grievance in the tears.

Now, he doesn't want to hide it anymore. It's really too hard for him to hide it, and he is about to collapse.
