1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 263 The Du Family No Longer Found in Beijing

Du Shuang lost all her strength in an instant and collapsed to the ground, remaining silent no matter how much Gu Yuanzheng pressed her for answers.

After Gu Bohuai got into the car, he didn't say a word. Just as he drove out of the compound, the driver suddenly stepped on the brakes.

"Boss, there's a car blocking the road."

A Toyota Crown suddenly cut in front of them, and Du Guanghan hurriedly got out of the car and walked to Gu Bohuai's car window.

"Bo Huai, may I speak to you in private?"

Gu Bohuai told the driver, who then got out of the car and walked about ten meters away. Du Guanghan immediately opened the back door.

The man sat down, but Du Guanghan couldn't utter a sound.

He knew everything, and even participated in it himself. He was always afraid that Gu Bohuai would come after him.

Now he knows that day has come.

But he has been able to live a comfortable life all these years thanks to his brother-in-law. Now, even though he knows it's impossible, he still has to bite the bullet and try.

"Bo Huai, I heard you and Du Shuang had a falling out? Yuan Zheng was so scared he called me. I came here to ask if there's some misunderstanding."

Since the false accusation of plagiarism, Du Guanghan has been avoiding meeting Gu Bohuai, and he feels extremely uneasy saying these words now.

"Since you're here, I'll just let you know that Du Shuang and I are getting a divorce, and from now on, the Du family and I will have nothing to do with each other."

"what?!"

Du Guanghan thought the two were arguing because their affair had been exposed, but he never expected it to escalate to the final step.

Meeting Gu Bohuai's knowing gaze, he didn't even have the courage to ask why.

But I can't get a divorce!
He has made so many efforts just to preserve his wealth and status. He is self-aware that if Du Shuang divorces him, the Du family will immediately fall into a significant decline.

"I will not pursue some matters for the sake of the two children, and I hope Du Shuang will take care of herself."

Du Guanghan swallowed several times. Although Gu Bohuai didn't mention him, his words were definitely a warning to him.

He racked his brains, but when he had no other choice, he had to bring up his father, who had been dead for decades.

“Bo Huai, you and Du Shuang have been married for many years. Even for my father's sake, you can't just break up like this…”

Before Du Guanghan could finish speaking, he was frozen by a cold light.

“You know better than I what the Du family did back then. Out of consideration for Old Master Du’s kindness, I don’t want to bring up the past. Or… are you willing to take responsibility?”

Du Guanghan's face turned ashen instantly; at that moment, he could no longer think of Du Shuang.

He was the one who handled those things back then. He wasn't the murderer, but Song Jinshu died, so he couldn't escape responsibility. He himself was in a precarious situation.

"Is it really... necessary to get a divorce?"

Du Guanghan couldn't see any possibility of reconciliation on Gu Bohuai's face, and he closed his eyes in dejection.

How did it get like this...?

Du Guanghan's departing figure seemed to have aged ten years. Gu Bohuai instructed the driver to drive off and stopped looking at him.

Besides giving the Lu family an explanation, the divorce was also to separate the two children from the Du family.

Jiang Yu's matter is not simple. Even if Du Guanghan was unintentional, he cannot escape involvement. Hongying and Yuanzheng cannot have a maternal family member who is guilty.

Once Gu Bohuai made up his mind, Du Shuang couldn't stop him at all; she didn't even get to see him again.

He went his own way back then, and in the end, all he had left was a thin divorce certificate.

She absolutely refused to move out of the Gu family home. When she couldn't find Gu Bohuai, she made a huge scene for Gu Hongying, forcing her to cry and make a scene with her father.

Enraged, Gu Bohuai transferred his daughter to another post, handed over the house, and applied for a different allocation. Du Shuang then went to find Du Guanghan, causing him a great disturbance as well. However, neither of them knew that the Du family's hard times were yet to come.

Gu Qingye heard the news immediately. Gu Bohuai didn't expect him to agree right away, but the sooner he expressed his opinion, the sooner he could recognize his son.

Gu Qingye did indeed give no reaction whatsoever, just as he had expected.

Divorce alone is not enough. He doesn't need to worry about the children. The Du family must pay the price for their mistakes.

It can only be said that Du Guanghan was really unlucky. The person he carefully selected to frame happened to be a spy, or rather, someone who wanted to be a spy but failed.

If Du Guanghan successfully escorted Jiang Yu abroad as planned, then he would have personally helped someone smuggle classified research materials out of the country. Even if he failed, his actions alone would make him an accomplice.

Gu Qingye quickly sorted out Jiang Yu's case, and Gu Bohuai, upon seeing the case file, simply remarked, "Just as I expected."

He personally investigated and found many suspicious points about Jiang Yu, so he knew this day would come.

Upon reaching the end, Gu Bohuai's usually composed face betrayed his undisguised joy.

Gu Qingye managed to uncover an entire hidden network in such a short time, finding more than a dozen spies buried in various places besides Jiang Yu.

Du Guanghan was thus invited to be investigated, and the result was naturally that he was dismissed from his post.

Lu Youyou was enjoying herself at her parents' home when Lin Nanxing mentioned the Du family. Suddenly, she felt as if she were living deep in the mountains, unaware that spring had arrived.

"It collapsed already? So quickly?"

In just half a month, Du Shuang got divorced, Du Guanghan was dismissed from his post, and it can be said that the Du family was no longer seen in Beijing.

Lin Nanxing was fairly satisfied with the result and said with a smile, "Not only those two, but the next generation won't be able to either."

Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment: "Du Yuelan and Sun Jinhai?"

Lin Nanxing shook his head: "Not only that, there's also Gu Yuanzheng."

Lu Youyou was now quite curious. Gu Qingye had directly attacked Gu Yuanzheng? And Gu Bohuai hadn't said anything?

Lin Nanxing pinched the soft flesh on her face and shook it: "You, go back and ask your husband!"

Just as Lu Youyou was about to act coquettishly, Gu Qingye arrived to pick her up.

Under Lin Nanxing's teasing gaze, Lu Youyou was pushed to her feet by her own mother.

They called each other every day, from after dinner until bedtime. The young couple were so sweet together, it must have been tough for Gu Qingye to be separated for so many days.

Sure enough, the problem was solved in the blink of an eye, and they came to pick up the person without stopping.

On the way home, Lu Youyou casually asked, and Gu Qingye just said there was no rush.

After we got home, I prepared hot water for her and hung up her pajamas and towel. After she finished showering, she asked me again, and I told her there was no rush.

Just as Lu Youyou was being lifted up and placed on the bed, she thought she was about to hear a wonderful bedtime story, but the next second she was taken away from breathing.

After more than ten days of not being this intimate, his eyes were filled with a surging, intense passion.

Gu Qingye gently supported the back of her neck, and a string of peach blossom marks appeared on her brow, the tip of her nose, the corner of her mouth, her collarbone...

Sobbing and whimpering, the two returned to their positions where their breaths mingled.

"Youyou, concentrate."

Lu Youyou could no longer remember any bedtime stories. From body to mind, she could no longer give a single thing to unrelated people and things.

A day apart feels like three autumns, and after more than ten days apart, Gu Qingye feels like a lifetime has passed.

Longing was conveyed to every part of her body through whispered sweet nothings. Lu Youyou was too weak to think, like a light boat swaying on the sea.
