Substitute Marriage : My Blind Wife Has The Whole World Fooled - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: The Distortion of Human Nature

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Young Master Gu, the heir of Gu Corporation, despised his blind wife and proposed a divorce. Was this a loss of morality or distortion of human nature?

This kind of news kept appearing one after another and Gu Liao’s expression suddenly changed. He immediately contacted the public relations department of the corporation to take down the news and give a corresponding explanation. A lawyer’s letter was also sent out at the same time.

“I say, Young Master Gu, I just left for a brief moment and you’ve already managed to cause so much trouble again.”

“Ha.” Gu Liao laughed coldly. He glanced at the person sprawled on the sofa and said, “Then you can just count yourself unlucky. As long as you return to the capital, something will always happen.”

“I guess this is still my fault. But this time, Master Gu’s speed of attack has clearly become faster. Aren’t you going to ‘clean up’ those people at the villa?”

“They won’t be able to stay alive for more than a few days.”

“Alright, you can manage it yourself then. I’m not participating in this activity anymore.”

“By the way, Yunhua, do you think that people who can’t see will be able to see one day?”

Bai Yunhua smiled slightly. “It’s unlikely for a normal blind person to be able to see. But if you’re asking about Xie Ru, then it’s very likely that she will.”

“What do you mean?”

“Xie Ru’s eyes have gone blind due to stress. It’s a result of mental stimulation. There’s a certain probability of recovery. Why are you so concerned about this?”

Gu Liao waved his hand dismissively and did not explain himself. He even kept secret the fact that Xie Ru had been able to see. It was not that he did not trust Bai Yunhua, but he just wanted to keep their little secret.

“Alright then. If there’s anything that can’t be solved, let me know. I’m very willing to work for you.”

Bai Yunhua didn’t want to overstay his welcome. He picked up his outer clothes and left to look for his lover.

“My dear lovely lady, there’s still no news from Q, but there’s good news. I have some results from the investigation you requested of me previously.”

“Oh, what is it? Tell me.” Xie Ru almost forgot that she had asked Joseph to investigate Xie Zhen after the car accident last time.

“Xie Zhen did have a money expenditure during that period. It was not much but it was paid to the drunk driver that rammed into your car. Unfortunately, he died on the spot. What a joke.”

How was it a joke? The mastermind behind this truly planned this well. He knew that the driver would not live long but the latter was given a good deal. When she went to visit the driver’s family, she found out that his daughter had leukemia.

And that was the true reason for the driver’s smile. Rather than maliciousness, it was a smile of relief and a small hint of unwillingness to leave the world so early.

“However, my dear, we also found something interesting. The driver had another deposit in his account from an unknown person. Who knew that this driver had been sought after by so many people to do something so vicious?”

“So? I’m sure you managed to find out.”

“Indeed, the other person turned out to be a member of the Gu family. He was more generous than the Xie family.”

The Gu Family? Who? Gu Liao? Old Master Gu?

Xie Ru’s mind suddenly buzzed.

She didn’t listen to what Joseph said after that as she tried to figure out which of the Gu’s was the other culprit. Who in the Gu family would pay for her life?

“I’ll see you at Dong Ning Bay tonight.”

Q had finally contacted her directly. But what was the relationship between Joseph and Q? Did he forget the basic rules?

“This is the first time, Joseph. I hope this is the last time. If my information is leaked again, I will withdraw from the team. I hope that the information about Xie Zhen from fifteen years ago will be sent to my mail the day after tomorrow as compensation for your rudeness this time.”

Xie Ru did not receive Joseph’s reply, but she knew that Joseph must have seen it, or else he would not have gone silent.

Fortunately, Gu Liao did not come back at night, which gave Xie Ru a chance to act. She looked at the servants who were panicking because of the power failure in the villa and smiled as she hid in the dark..
