The next day, a knock sounded at the door.
Wen Yusui opened it and saw Gu Huaichuan standing outside in a gray suit.
The moment he saw her open the door, his face lit up with delight.
“Suisi! I’ve been knocking on doors one by one. I finally found you!”
Seeing Gu Huaichuan, Wen Yusui was already sick of him to the core, especially after learning everything that had happened.
“Is there something you need?”
Wen Yusui’s expression was cold and indifferent.
But Gu Huaichuan acted as though nothing had happened.
“Suisi, did you forget? We have a class reunion today. I came specifically to pick you up.”
“I’m not going.”
Wen Yusui said this and started closing the door.
“Wait! If you agree to go with me, I’ll agree to sign the divorce papers.”
Wen Yusui hesitated for a moment before uttering two words.
“Wait for me.”
Wen Yusui knew how much Gu Huaichuan cared about his reputation. They hadn’t publicly announced their divorce yet, so he would definitely drag her along to the reunion.
A wonderful idea had already formed in her mind.
If he was going to be ruthless first, he couldn’t blame her for returning the favor.
The two soon arrived at Manxin Lou.
When their classmates saw them arrive together, they immediately began teasing them.
“You two really are so lovey-dovey! I’m jealous!”
Gu Huaichuan looked smug, while Wen Yusui merely smiled faintly.
The two sat down together.
Throughout the meal, Gu Huaichuan kept putting food into Wen Yusui’s bowl, but she didn’t eat any of it. Instead, she quietly placed her phone beside her.
Jiang Xue, the organizer of the class reunion, came over specifically to raise a toast to Gu Huaichuan and Wen Yusui.
“Yusui, there’s actually something I’ve always wanted to say. You’re so lucky to be with a man as handsome and devoted as Huaichuan. All of us girls are insanely jealous!”
“Hey, Jiang Xue, that’s not fair!”
Zhu Ang quickly chimed in.
“Back then, all us guys were jealous that Huaichuan had such a beautiful girlfriend like Wen Yusui!”
“All right, all right!”
Jiang Xue raised her glass and clinked it against theirs.
“Fine, I said it wrong. You two are a perfect match, okay? Come on! Here’s to an even happier relationship!”
Crash!
Jiang Xue accidentally knocked her wineglass against Wen Yusui’s phone on the table, shattering it into pieces.
Gu Huaichuan immediately pulled Wen Yusui toward him, nervously checking her body for any cuts from the broken glass.
Jiang Xue looked apologetic and quickly grabbed some tissues to wipe the wine off Wen Yusui’s phone.
But as she wiped it, she accidentally woke the phone screen.
Her hand froze instantly.
“This…”
Jiang Xue stood awkwardly to the side. Then she looked at Gu Huaichuan in disbelief.
“Gu Huaichuan, you…”
Gu Huaichuan looked at her in confusion before complaining,
“Couldn’t you be more careful? What if you had hurt Suisi?”
The disbelief on Jiang Xue’s face instantly turned into disgust.
Then she spoke with startling bluntness.
“Gu Huaichuan, could you stop pretending to be some devoted husband? I never thought you were this kind of person!”
“What do you mean?”
Anger immediately flared across Gu Huaichuan’s face.
Jiang Xue, however, picked up Wen Yusui’s phone and slowly turned it toward the surrounding classmates.
In an instant, everyone’s expressions changed.
They all looked toward Gu Huaichuan.
The lively gathering fell completely silent.
Gu Huaichuan seemed to remember something. His face instantly went pale, and his entire body stiffened.
He wanted to explain. He wanted to say that it was all a misunderstanding.
But how could he explain this?
Any explanation would only make things worse.
His own wife had intimate photographs of him with another woman as her phone wallpaper, and everyone in the room had seen them!
The classmates’ gazes changed completely.
Some looked at Wen Yusui with sympathy.
Others looked at Gu Huaichuan with contempt.
And then there was He Yanzhou, who had remained silent throughout the entire gathering. He had been sitting quietly from beginning to end. Only when Jiang Xue picked up the phone and showed it around did he finally raise his head.
A trace of secret satisfaction flashed through Wen Yusui’s eyes.
Before coming here, she had deliberately set the photos of Gu Huaichuan cheating on her as her phone’s lock screen, waiting for the right opportunity for her classmates to see them.
She never expected Jiang Xue to accidentally do her such a huge favor.
Wen Yusui took her phone back and put on an aggrieved expression.
“Sorry for making everyone witness this. I’m not feeling well, so I’ll head home first.”
None of her classmates tried to stop her.
After all, who would still have the mood to continue a reunion after discovering that their husband had cheated on them?
Wen Yusui reached the entrance when Gu Huaichuan angrily chased after her.
He grabbed her and snarled viciously,
“Wen Yusui, did you do this on purpose?”
Wen Yusui tried to shake off his hand, but he held her tightly.
She sneered.
“How can you say I did it on purpose? Jiang Xue picked up my phone and saw it herself. You really do nothing but push the blame onto me!”
Gu Huaichuan clearly didn’t believe her.
“You must have conspired with Jiang Xue and deliberately set me up! Wen Yusui, that was a truly despicable move!”
Wen Yusui was so angry that she almost laughed.
“I’m despicable? At least I’m not as despicable as someone who installed a tracking device on my phone and conspired with his mother to drug me, am I?”
“You know about that?!”
Gu Huaichuan stared at her in shock.
How could she know?
“Gu Huaichuan, I really never saw through you. The thing I regret most in my entire life is marrying you!”
Gu Huaichuan completely dropped his pretense as well.
He gripped Wen Yusui’s arm tightly and said viciously,
“Wen Yusui, I’m warning you. If you divorce me, don’t even think about getting a single cent of the family’s assets! Without my protection, do you really think you can live this comfortably?”
Wen Yusui endured the pain and slapped him across the face with her other hand.
This enraged Gu Huaichuan even further.
He dragged Wen Yusui toward the car with all his strength while she struggled desperately.
Suddenly, the grip on her arm loosened, and the pain disappeared.
Gu Huaichuan, meanwhile, was kicked hard by someone.
He staggered several steps before angrily turning toward the man who had kicked him.
“He Yanzhou! Are you looking to die?!”
He Yanzhou said nothing.
He merely looked at him with disdain and quietly spat out two words.
“Scumbag.”
“…”
Those two words infuriated Gu Huaichuan even more.
Just as he was about to attack him, their classmates rushed out and stopped him.
“Gu Huaichuan, back in college, Wen Yusui was the only person in your eyes and heart. What happened? It’s only been a few years, and you’ve already gotten tired of her?”
One of the male classmates spoke up.
“Exactly! When you were pursuing Wen Yusui back then, you swore that you would love only her. I really never thought you’d turn out to be this kind of person.”
A female classmate immediately joined in.
In an instant, the classmates’ accusations came pouring out.
Gu Huaichuan could only flee the scene for the time being. If he stayed any longer, he would probably be drowned in their criticism.
He Yanzhou turned to Wen Yusui.
“I’ll take you home.”
Wen Yusui nodded.
“Thank you.”
The two didn’t say another word during the entire journey.
Even back in college, Wen Yusui hadn’t interacted with He Yanzhou very much.
When they arrived, He Yanzhou glanced at the apartment complex where she lived and casually asked,
“Have you ever considered pursuing a career in the entertainment industry?”
The question left Wen Yusui completely dumbfounded.
