She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.
Chapter 467 Find out the truth
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and tomorrow is the day Su Maiqi and Gu Tingyu will officially receive their divorce certificate.
As evening fell, Su Maiqi was alone in her newly purchased apartment, doing the final tidying up.
As the sun sets, warm yellow light streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the living room, bathing the entire room in a gentle golden glow.
During this time, she added a lot of things to the house.
From furniture to decorations, from kitchenware to bathroom supplies, she personally selected everything according to her own preferences and tastes.
Her favorite books were neatly arranged on the bookshelf, including professional books on design, as well as novels and collections of essays.
She specifically bought several inspirational books about independent women, hoping to draw strength from them.
On the coffee table sat an exquisite tea set, which she had found in an antique shop; the blue and white porcelain pattern was simple yet elegant.
This is the first time she has owned a house that is completely her own, and the first time she can decorate and furnish her living space according to her own wishes.
There was an oil painting hanging on the wall, which she bought after falling in love with it at first sight in a small gallery.
It was a weekend afternoon when she was just taking a casual stroll, but she was captivated by this painting in a gallery hidden deep in an alley.
The woman in the painting is dressed in a white dress, with long flowing hair. She stands in a boundless golden wheat field, facing the rising sun, and shows an incredibly radiant smile.
Her posture was so free and unrestrained, as if the whole world belonged to her.
Su Maiqi felt a deep resonance with that sense of returning to simplicity, embracing nature, and pursuing freedom.
She stood in front of the painting for a long time, as if she could hear the sound of the wind blowing through the wheat field and feel the warmth of the sunlight on her face.
There was a time when she longed for that kind of life too.
Stay away from the cutthroat world of business and the complicated interpersonal relationships, do only what you truly love, and live a simple and pure life.
After the divorce, she was no longer Mrs. Gu.
When the time is right and the news is made public, she will no longer have to bear the identity of a wealthy family's daughter-in-law and can completely return to being Su Maiqi, a true and free soul.
I glanced at my watch; it was already nine o'clock at night.
Time flies; she's actually been here for a full three hours.
She decided to go back to the Cloud Villa tonight to be with Xiao Chengze.
Su Maiqi picked up the car keys. They were brand new, with a small charm she had just bought hanging on them—a cute little rabbit, symbolizing a new beginning.
In the elevator, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her face looked tired, but her eyes were firm.
She took a deep breath and told herself to bravely face the changes that were about to come.
Her car is a white Volvo XC60, which she bought with her own savings, representing a new kind of independence.
This was the first time in her life that she had bought a car entirely with her own money, and she felt both proud and excited.
She started the engine, and the car made a soft rumble. She turned on the navigation, set the destination to the Cloud Villa, and then slowly drove out of the parking lot.
The city lights are bright at night, neon lights are flashing, and cars are flowing like a river, creating a bustling scene.
She drove in a familiar direction; she had traveled this road countless times and could know the location of every turn with her eyes closed.
As night deepened, the number of vehicles on the road gradually decreased, with only a few occasionally passing by, leaving a trail of red taillights.
All green lights all the way, smooth sailing.
Finally, a red light appeared ahead.
This is a major intersection on Tokyo Avenue, which is usually very busy, but it's relatively quiet at this time of day.
Su Maiqi lightly applied the brakes, and the car glided smoothly, finally coming to a steady stop in front of the zebra crossing.
She looked at the traffic light ahead through the windshield; the countdown showed 30 seconds left.
During the wait, she took out her phone to send a message to Gu Tingyu, telling him that she would be home soon.
But after thinking about it, she put down her phone. After tomorrow, she wouldn't need to report her whereabouts to anyone anymore.
Just as her thoughts were wandering, a screeching sound of tires suddenly came from the alleyway to her right.
Su Maiqi subconsciously looked in that direction and saw a huge truck rushing out of the alley at an extremely high speed.
The headlights were so blinding that it was impossible to open one's eyes, the engine roared deafeningly, and the black body of the car looked particularly menacing in the night.
The truck showed no sign of slowing down and drove straight toward Su Maiqi's car.
She instantly realized the danger and instinctively tried to step on the gas to avoid it, but everything happened too fast, and there was no time to react.
With a loud "bang," the sound of metal colliding was particularly jarring in the quiet night.
Su Maiqi felt dizzy and the huge impact caused her body to slam heavily against the steering wheel before being pulled back into her seat by the seatbelt.
The car window shattered instantly, shards flying everywhere, and the car body deformed and twisted violently.
The world plunged into darkness, and her consciousness gradually blurred, as if she had fallen into a bottomless black hole.
In the last moment before she lost consciousness, images of Gu Tingyu and Xiao Chengze flashed through her mind.
Gu Tingyu was holding Xiao Chengze, and both of them were smiling at her. The scene was so warm and beautiful.
I'm sorry, Chengze, Mom may not be able to watch you grow up.
I'm sorry, Gu Tingyu, I'm leaving you all alone. Please take good care of our son.
Then, everything fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, in a hazy state, Su Maiqi vaguely heard Gu Tingyu's voice.
That familiar voice came from afar, filled with anger and anxiety, like a ray of light piercing through the fog.
"Find out exactly what happened! Last time Shen Qingge almost killed her, who is it this time?"
His voice was full of anger and anxiety, like that of a raging lion.
Su Maiqi struggled to open her eyes. The bright light made her eyes uncomfortable, and she squinted for a while before she could slowly see her surroundings clearly.
She found herself lying on a clean white hospital bed, covered with a white blanket, with an IV line connected to her arm.
"We must find out who this person is, no matter the cost! I will make those who hurt Maggie pay!"
He spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone resolute and leaving no room for doubt.
Su Maiqi was very surprised. Could the car accident have been intentional?
Was it the same last time? Is Shen Qingge the mastermind behind it all?
Just as she was racking her brains, the door to the ward was gently pushed open, and Su Mailou walked in quickly, carrying a thermal box in her hand.
Seeing Su Maiqi open her eyes, she exclaimed in surprise, "Qiqi, you're awake? How are you feeling?"
Su Mairou's eyes were red, clearly from crying.
Su Maiqi nodded weakly, her voice hoarse: "I'm fine, it's just that my whole body aches."
"Do you remember how you got injured?" Su Mairou asked with concern, her brows furrowed, clearly worried that her memory might be impaired.
The amnesia I suffered last time left a deep scar on my whole family, and now our biggest worry is that history will repeat itself.
“Yes, I remember,” Su Maiqi said slowly, trying to recall the details of the accident. “I was driving on Tokyo Avenue at night, just past the intersection, when a large truck suddenly came rushing towards me…”
"That's great, you remembered everything!" Su Mairou breathed a sigh of relief, her tense facial muscles relaxing slightly. "The doctor said you only suffered external injuries, no internal ones, and you'll be fine after a few days of rest."
It's clear that the amnesia she suffered last time left a deep scar on her older sister. She's terrified that Su Maiqi will forget something important again, which would mean starting all over again with the memories she's finally regained.
Upon hearing Su Maiqi wake up, Gu Tingyu quickly ended the call and strode to the bedside.
His eyes were filled with lingering fear and self-reproach, and his voice trembled slightly: "Maggie, you scared me to death. Luckily, you're alright. Don't worry, I'll find out what happened in the accident."
