"I thought we could only be friends for the rest of my life, and that being with you was just wishful thinking, but who knew you would get divorced? I felt like my chance had come, so after your divorce, I pursued you recklessly because I knew this was my last chance and I didn't want to give up."
"I believe that sincerity can move mountains and rocks. Although you were not attracted to me at first, I believe that sooner or later I will succeed in moving you."
"In the process of pursuing you, I knew that Zhao Jingyu would be an obstacle, so I didn't dare to reveal it at all, because once you knew, with your personality, there would be no possibility for us."
"Later, I succeeded. The day I got the marriage certificate with you was the happiest day of my life. I finally married the woman I loved the most. At that time, I swore that no matter what you wanted, I would find it for you. I wanted to make you the happiest woman in the world."
Listening to Zhou Chen's narration, Gu Jia recalled the process of Zhou Chen pursuing her. It was not romantic, but Zhou Chen was indeed thinking about her. Whatever she wanted, Zhou Chen would give it to her at the first time.
She didn't mind that Zhou Chen had other women before. After all, that was Zhou Chen's past. Besides, how could a man like Zhou Chen have never had contact with a woman for thirty years.
What she couldn't stand was that Zhou Chen actually had a woman who had given birth to a child for him, and he had been hiding it from her.
Putting this matter aside, Zhou Chen was indeed very good to her. Even Xu Huanshan, who was in the period of passionate love, was no better than him. Moreover, Zhou Chen was more considerate and caring for her than Xu Huanshan, making her a little girl who longed to be pampered. Even her father did not do these things.
It is precisely because she also loves Zhou Chen that she feels even more painful. It is really heartbreaking that the man she loves most has deceived her.
But she did not interrupt Zhou Chen, but let Zhou Chen continue speaking.
"There's nothing much to say between Zhao Jingyu and me. I never expected her to get pregnant. What I didn't expect was that my grandfather knew about her pregnancy."
"You've met my grandfather, too. You should be able to tell what kind of person he is. Because of my parents' accident, he values the descendants of the Zhou family very much. He already had an opinion that I hadn't married or had children at the age of 30. So when he heard that Zhao Jingyu was pregnant, he issued a death order to keep the child at all costs."
"On one side is Grandpa, and on the other side is my blood. I have no choice."
"So you chose to lie to me, thinking that after the child was born, it would be a done deal. Even if I found out later, no matter how much I made a fuss, it would be useless, right?"
Gu Jia asked in a cold tone.
"That's not the case. I did hide it from you, but I also knew that I couldn't keep it a secret for long. Sooner or later, you would find out. The reason I didn't take the initiative to tell you was, firstly, because I didn't want to lose you, and secondly, because I didn't know how to start the conversation."
"So you let me find out on my own. If no one told me, would you treat me like a fool and keep it a secret for the rest of my life?"
Gu Jia's tears flowed uncontrollably: "You should know that what I can't accept the most is betrayal, but why did you lie to me? It's already like that, why did you still come to provoke me? What do you think of me?"
"I regard you as my wife, the only wife in the world. I will not marry any other woman except you. You will be my wife only."
Zhou Chen's voice was not loud, but his tone was full of determination and had a convincing aura.
"I don't believe it. I don't dare to believe you anymore."
Gu Jia shook her head. No matter how affectionate Zhou Chen's words were, at this moment, she didn't dare to believe him.
"Now that I know about you, what are you going to do?"
Seeing Gu Jia throwing the question at him, Zhou Chen frowned slightly. He originally wanted to let Gu Jia propose the conditions and then he would find a way to deal with it.
As a result, Gu Jia now threw the problem to him. If he didn't want to continue staying in this world, he wouldn't need to worry about such troubles and could just leave.
But this was his own doing after all. If he wants to stay, he must find a way to solve the problem.
"Wife, my grandfather said that after the child is weaned, he will take him back to his hometown to raise him. As for Zhao Jingyu, you can do whatever you want me to do with her."
The most urgent task now is to coax Gu Jia into doing whatever she wants. A man should be able to bend and stretch. Sometimes he has to say one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes...
Gu Jia said coldly: "I can't share a husband with another woman, and I can't stand my man having another woman, so there is only one best solution, that is, divorce."
"impossible."
Zhou Chen immediately let out an angry growl, "Absolutely impossible, I will not agree to a divorce, absolutely not."
Gu Jia held back tears, but still said firmly: "This is our best solution. Anyway, we didn't have a wedding, so even if we get divorced, it won't cause much commotion. Besides, this way, it's a relief for both you and me. You don't have to worry about me anymore. You can find as many women as you want and have as many children as you want."
The heartless words coming out of Gu Jia's mouth were indeed quite powerful, but when he heard the last few words full of resentment, he felt relieved and comforted.
If Gu Jia just said divorce coldly and said nothing else, he felt it would be very difficult to make Gu Jia change her mind.
But Gu Jia's last few words, although seemingly complaining and dissatisfied, actually also show her love and attachment to herself, indicating that her heart is also full of entanglements. She does not want this marriage to end like this, but she can't think of a good solution.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen knew that he still had a chance. It was not that he had to be with Gu Jia, but he felt that since he had to continue staying in this world, he would naturally choose someone who was pleasing to the eye and could help him.
Among the women he knows now, Gu Jia is a very good choice, not to mention that they are married now and Gu Jia is pregnant with his child.
It’s not that he couldn’t find a better woman than Gu Jia, but he felt that after traveling to the world of film and television, if he had a choice, it would be easier to be with the characters in the plot.
After all, he knew the heroines in the plot, at least he had learned about their personalities and characteristics from the TV series, so it was easier to get along with them.
When you are with another woman, unless you really don't have any romantic feelings for her, there will always be a feeling of lottery. If you end up with a bad woman, that would be a problem.
"I don't want to find another woman. In this world, with you, I will never fall in love with another woman. Honey, you have to believe me."
Gu Jia looked at Zhou Chen coldly and said, "How can I trust you? Zhou Chen, I can no longer tell whether your kindness to me is genuine or fake. You concealed it too well. I don't want to live in a fake life anymore, and I don't want to compete with other women for favor. I don't have the ability or energy to do so."
Zhou Chen looked helpless: "Wife, I really didn't mean to deceive you. This matter is indeed my fault. You can do whatever you want, but I really won't agree to a divorce."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 385: Rebellious Girlfriend, Compromise
Gu Jia stared at Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen looked back at her without any avoidance, his eyes full of determination.
Gu Jia, who was originally in the right, looked at Zhou Chen's eyes. For some reason, she felt mixed emotions and wanted to say something harsh, but she couldn't say it.
"I'm sleeping with Zi Yan tonight."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the room.
Zhou Chen did not stop him. Gu Jia had just learned the truth and was angry, so it was better to let her calm down. As long as she did not file for divorce, he could coax her slowly later.
For the next few days, Gu Jia was in a bad mood, but she didn't show it in front of Xu Ziyan. But in private, she didn't treat Zhou Chen well.
But Zhou Chen was not angry, because since that day, Gu Jia never talked to him about divorce again. Although he didn't know what Gu Jia was thinking, after a few days, he could feel that Gu Jia actually didn't want to divorce him.
It’s just that Gu Jia was so angry that she couldn’t vent it, and she felt uncomfortable holding it in.
Nanny Yang saw the problems between Zhou Chen and Gu Jia, but she just did her job and didn't say anything, just doing her own thing honestly.
Not only Yang's mother, but even the child Xu Ziyan could sense that something was wrong with his mother and "father".
Zhou Chen picked up Xu Ziyan from the kindergarten. Since the kindergarten was not far away, Zhou Chen went there on foot.
As the two, one big and one small, walked on the road, Xu Ziyan suddenly looked up and asked Zhou Chen, "Dad, did you have a fight with Mom?"
Zhou Chen was stunned, then he realized that the child must have noticed that something was wrong between him and Gu Jia in the past few days. Children are sensitive, especially in a family like theirs. Xu Ziyan is relatively sensible, so he asked this question.
"No, your mother is in a bad mood because of some problems at work recently. She will be fine in a few days."
Xu Ziyan: "Dad, if mom is angry and quarrels with you, you must give in to her. We broke up because my dad didn't listen to mom before. I don't want to be separated from you, so dad, don't make mom angry."
"What a sensible boy."
Zhou Chen smiled and patted Xu Ziyan's head. This was indeed a very good child, but it was a pity that he was not his child.
"Then you should help dad persuade your mother to stop being angry with dad, okay?"
"Okay, I'll tell my mom when I get home today." Xu Ziyan patted his chest and said like a little adult.
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news."
Back home, Zhou Chen asked Xu Ziyan to play in the toy room alone, while he called Wang Manni on the phone.
He didn't expect Xu Ziyan to really help. After all, he was just a child. No matter how much Gu Jia loved him, it was impossible for her to listen to a child's opinion on such matters.
"Manni, I need you to help me..."
He called Wang Manni because he wanted her to persuade Gu Jia. He understood women quite well. When many women encounter problems, they may not trust their family members, but they often trust their best friends and are willing to listen to them.
Although Gu Jia is rational, she is also a woman. When her attitude is not firm, the persuasion of outsiders will definitely play a big role.
Wang Manni on the other end of the phone was also very surprised after listening to Zhou Chen's narration.
In her opinion, Zhou Chen was so ostentatious and did not shy away from dating women, let alone a woman who had given birth to a child. So she had long guessed that Zhou Chen would be discovered sooner or later, but she did not expect it to come so soon.
"Okay, I'll make an appointment with Gu Jia tonight, but I can't guarantee whether it will work."
When Wang Manni talked to Zhou Chen at the beginning, she said she was full of confidence, but after it really happened, she lost confidence.
Having known Gu Jia for nearly a year, she knew very well what kind of person Gu Jia was. Once she made a decision, she would not be convinced by a few words from others.
"Just do it and see if it works."
Zhou Chen didn't expect Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin to be able to persuade Gu Jia, he just wanted to give it a try.
Following Zhou Chen's instructions, Wang Manni made an appointment with Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin to have dinner together.
Zhong Xiaoqin naturally had no objection, and Gu Jia was in a bad mood, so she wanted to have some fun with her best friend and agreed.
After getting the consent of her two best friends, Wang Manni began to make arrangements.
During this period, Wang Manni lived a very comfortable life. As the manager of a luxury store, she had someone behind her. Zhou Chen also helped her find a good house and sometimes gave her money. She was able to settle down in the Magic City and her life was getting better and better.
As for getting married, she no longer considers it. It is not easy to find a rich husband, and there is nothing wrong with being Zhou Chen's lover. Maybe if she feels lonely in the future, she can learn from that woman and give birth to a child for Zhou Chen.
In the evening, three best friends got together to chat.
Although Gu Jia pretended to be nothing and chatted with Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin, the sadness on her face was still there. Zhong Xiaoqin was a heartless person and did not notice anything different about Gu Jia today.
Wang Manni pretended to ask casually: "Gu Jia, why do you look so sad today?"
"Really?" Zhong Xiaoqin opened her eyes wide and stared at Gu Jia's face.
Gu Jia also knew that she could hide her emotions from Zhong Xiaoqin, but she certainly couldn't hide them from Wang Manni, who worked in sales. She was not surprised when Wang Manni asked her about it.
"Something bad happened."
Zhong Xiaoqin asked in confusion: "What happened, Gu Gu, you are pregnant now, you can't be unhappy, this is what you told me before."
Gu Jia was silent for a while, and then she said, "This matter makes it difficult for me to make a decision, so I want to ask for your opinions."
Wang Manni: "What's the matter? Just tell me. As long as we can help, we will definitely help."
"Yes, yes, Gu Gu, hurry up and tell me, it's so anxious." Zhong Xiaoqin urged.
Gu Jia said: "A few days ago, I heard about a person from the wives' circle, and then asked Chen Xu to investigate, and finally found out..."
"boom."
Hearing Gu Jia's narration, Zhong Xiaoqin immediately slapped the table angrily, and scolded angrily: "Scumbag, really a scumbag, how could he treat Gu Gu like this? According to me, you should divorce him. This kind of scumbag is not worth it."
Wang Manni came with a mission, she said: "Xiaoqin, Gu Jia is still pregnant now, once divorced, have you thought about what she will do in the future?"
"this?"
Zhong Xiaoqin was stunned. Yes, the rehabilitation institution where Gu Jia worked now belonged to Zhou Chen, and she also lived in Zhou Chen's place. More importantly, she was pregnant with Zhou Chen's child. If they divorced, it would definitely not be a good thing for Gu Jia.
"Gu Gu, didn't he return the house in Junyue Mansion to you? And the shares of that pharmaceutical company? You must not be short of money."
Wang Manni: "Xiaoqin, now it's not about money, it's about the relationship between the two of them and the child."
"He's already done that, what's the point of talking about love?" Zhong Xiaoqin snorted in dissatisfaction.
Wang Manni knew that Zhong Xiaoqin was speaking up for Gu Jiaming, but the final decision would still be made by Gu Jia, so she asked Gu Jia.
"Gu Jia, what do you think? Divorce or not?"
Gu Jia sighed, "When I first learned about this, my first thought was divorce, but divorce is not something that can be done at will. During this period, Zi Yan has been getting along well with him and has already regarded him as his father. If we divorce suddenly, Zi Yan will definitely be very sad. And if the child in my belly is not born yet and has no father, it will be too cruel for him."
"So, you don't want to leave?" Wang Manni asked.
Gu Jia looked sad: "I feel like I have become a coward. If it were before, I would have divorced without hesitation, but now, I have considered too much and I am no longer as resolute as before."
"Gu Gu." Zhong Xiaoqin grabbed Gu Jia's hands and cried out in pain.
Gu Jia smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine, just a little sad."
"Gu Gu, you are so unlucky. Why do you always encounter such things? Xu Huanshan and Zhou Chen are both scumbags." Zhong Xiaoqin cursed.
Wang Manni asked: "Gu Jia, can I ask you a question?"
"You ask."
"After listening to your story, I feel that you can't make a decision, not just because of these, you should still love Zhou Chen, right?"
Gu Jia pursed her lips and said, "If you don't love me, would you still have so many worries?"
"In that case, you can change your mindset. Zhou Chen was with that woman before he married you, and even had a child before you were together. Maybe it's really like Zhou Chen said, the one he loves is you, and he doesn't love that woman, he just needs her?"
"I'm in the luxury goods sales business, and I know very well what rich people think. They have wives at home, and they can have mistresses outside, and they also have many powerful illegitimate children."
"Of course, I'm not saying this to make you endure it, but I think that compared to other wealthy people, Zhou Chen is pretty good."
Zhong Xiaoqin was surprised and said, "Is this considered good? She already has a child with someone else."
Wang Manni: "It depends on what you think, Gu Jia. If you really want a divorce, I think you can't let him get away with it. You should get what you want and not let other women get away with it. But if you don't want a divorce, I think the key to the problem lies in that woman. If you can drive that woman away and bring her child back to raise, I think Zhou Chen will feel more guilty about you and will treat you better in the future."
Zhong Xiaoqin was shocked when she heard this: "Manni, are you crazy? Helping that woman raise a child?"
