Having been reborn, why would he be afraid of Mr. Gu, who still has a white moonlight?

Gu Tingzhou left the room after a while, feeling a mix of resentment and surprise.

Song Wanwan was perfectly normal after hanging up the phone; she only started acting strangely when she saw Su Lina.

But it seemed he felt like he was missing something in his mind.

Song Wanwan first approached the girl next to Su Lina, asked her who she was, and then began to attack Su Lina.

Could it be that Song Wanwan knows that woman and has had some unpleasant experience with her, and since she happens to be Su Lina's relative, she took her anger out on Su Lina?

Considering the question she had just asked him, Gu Tingzhou was 100% certain that Song Wanwan's madness was because of Su Lina.

He walked quickly back to the restaurant, where Gu Tingting sat on the sofa with Su Lina and the woman.

Su Lina still looked shaken.

He walked to the sofa, looked at the woman, and asked, "Have you met my wife before?"

The woman shook her head blankly. "This is the first time I've seen her too."

Su Lina explained, "My cousin is from a distant uncle's family. She just graduated not long ago. She used to live in Hangzhou, but only came to Beijing a couple of days ago."

Then she sobbed softly, "It must be that Wanwan thinks I came to see you on purpose, that's why she's unhappy with me."

Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to be lying, Gu Tingzhou felt even more bewildered.

Could it really be as Su Lina said, that Song Wanwan suddenly became abnormal because she disliked Su Lina coming to see her?

The image of Song Wanwan refusing to communicate with him resurfaced in his mind, like a mystery.

He gently comforted Su Lina, telling her to rest for a while and then arrange for someone to take them back.

At the entrance of the manor, he saw Song Wanwan riding in a taxi and passing by him.

His expression hardened, and he immediately dialed Song Wanwan's number, but hung up after a few rings.

I'm not feeling well, so I'm going home first. Please tell Grandpa and the others for me.

Gu Tingzhou saw the message and tried to call back, but the phone was switched off.

After resting in bed for a while, Song Wanwan had recovered and was eager to leave, so she called a ride-sharing service on her phone.

She didn't go straight back to the old house, but went to her maternal grandfather's villa by the sea.

When she arrived at her grandfather's house, Shen Qingshan looked at Song Wanwan, who had suddenly returned, with some surprise, but he quickly laughed again after a moment.

"Wanwan, why are you back so suddenly? You didn't call ahead of time. Have you eaten?"

Song Wanwan looked pale and said listlessly, "Grandpa, I want to eat noodles."

Shen Qingshan guessed that something must have happened to Song Wanwan, but he didn't rush to ask her. Instead, he took her hand and led her into the kitchen.

He settled Song Wanwan in a dining chair and began boiling water to cook noodles.

Soon a steaming bowl of noodles was served, topped with greens and a fried egg.

"Eat up, we can talk after we've eaten."

Song Wanwan picked up her chopsticks and started eating noodles. Her grandfather's noodles couldn't compare to those made by her grandmother and uncle, but at that moment, she felt that the hot food gave her a bit of strength and comfort.

She quickly finished a bowl of noodles and drank all the soup. She put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a tissue.

With clear, sharp eyes and a calm voice, she said, "What I'm about to say might be a little sudden, so be prepared."

A smile appeared in Shen Qingshan's kind eyes. "Should I take a nitroglycerin pill first? Silly child, Grandpa has been through so much, what's there to be afraid of? Don't worry, Grandpa's heart is very strong."

Song Wanwan composed herself and said calmly, "Gu Tingzhou and I have submitted our divorce application. Next Friday marks the end of the thirty-day cooling-off period. We will then go to get the divorce certificate and officially divorce."

Shen Qingshan had more or less guessed that something must have happened to Song Wanwan. The last time she came back, he also vaguely felt that Song Wanwan didn't care about Gu Tingzhou that much, but he didn't expect that she was going to get a divorce directly.

He paused for a moment, his expression turning somewhat grave.

Song Wanwan glanced at Shen Qingshan, then quickly lowered her head, looking like a child who had done something wrong, seemingly at a loss.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry. I insisted on marrying him back then, which made everyone unhappy. Now, we've been married for less than a year, and I want to divorce him. I know it's sudden, but I feel so tired, so very tired, and I can't go on anymore."

"I'm sorry, I made this decision without consulting you. I'm sure it's hard for you to accept right now, but I really don't want to stay in the Gu family anymore, or stay by Gu Tingzhou's side."

Tears welled up in Song Wanwan's eyes and quickly filled her eyes. One by one, tears fell from the tip of her nose onto the back of her hand.

She sniffled and said in a hoarse voice, "I know I've disgraced you, disgraced the Shen family and the Song family, disgraced my parents, I'm sorry!"

Shen Qingshan reached out and took Song Wanwan's hand, his warm palm resting on her forehead and the back of her hand. "Wanwan, look up at me."

Song Wanwan stopped crying, raised her head in confusion, her eyes filled with tears, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

She saw the tenderness in her grandfather's eyes, and tears welled up again, streaming down her face and into her hair.

Shen Qingshan looked at her with loving eyes, "Wanwan, don't feel sorry for anyone. The person you should be most sorry for is yourself, after all the days of suffering. The children of the Shen family should never bow their heads to apologize, but always hold their heads high and move forward."

Song Wanwan murmured softly, "Grandpa, I just feel that I'm already in my twenties and I'm still causing you worry. I'm so unfilial."

Shen Qingshan wiped away Song Wanwan's tears and gently comforted her, "No matter how old a child is, they are still a child. Parents will always have to worry about them. Now that you've made up your mind, your grandfather supports your divorce. Don't wrong yourself."

“I know your parents’ situation has had a big impact on you. It was only after that we convinced your grandparents to let you transfer to another school and stay in Beijing. It’s my fault for not taking good care of you.”

Song Wanwan cried loudly, "Grandpa, no, you and my uncles have been very good to me. I have never felt like an outsider. It was my own choice to give you all my love. I don't blame you."

Shen Qingshan's eyes also welled up with tears. "Wanwan, there's nothing to be sad about. It's just the end of a bad marriage. It's not like the sky is falling. With your grandfather and uncles here, don't be afraid."

Song Wanwan cried uncontrollably, and said in a choked voice, "Yes, I understand, thank you, Grandpa."

Song Wanwan cried for a while longer, but gradually calmed down with Shen Qingshan's comfort and encouragement.

Shen Qingshan said softly, "Since you've made up your mind, then have a good talk with Grandpa Gu. They're not unreasonable people. Once you get your divorce certificate, move back to live with Grandpa Gu. If you think your commute to work is too far, then you can choose a house from your uncles' properties to live in."

Song Wanwan took a breath and said calmly, "Grandpa, I want to move to Mom's teacher's room. It's not far from her workplace."

Shen Qingshan's expression changed. "That neighborhood is a bit old, there's no elevator, the environment isn't good, and the security isn't great either. Why don't you live downstairs from your uncle? You two have been closest since childhood, and he can take good care of you."

Song Wanwan said calmly, unconcerned, "Grandpa, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, after all these years, I've long since let it go. I just want to go back to the place where Mom lived, as if she were still by my side."

Shen Qingshan looked at the determined Song Wanwan and knew that her decision could not be changed, so he stopped trying to stop her. "Alright, if you've made up your mind, then stay here for now. If it doesn't work out, then move. Take some time to go back to your grandparents' place and have a good talk with them."

Song Wanwan nodded. "Yes, I know, Grandpa."
