1153 Marital Strife 1

Inside the ward, the experienced Lawyer Li handed the drawn-up divorce papers to Doris who sat on the sofa, dressed gracefully and elegantly. He smiled and said respectfully, "Miss Doris, these are the divorce papers that have been written up based on your orders and consultation. Please approve of them. If all is good, we can hand them to Mr. Gu."

Doris took the contract leisurely, flipped it open, and carefully began to browse through the contents. Then, she nodded happily. "Mmm, not bad. This is roughly what I mean. Bring this to him to sign. If he won't sign it, just hand it to the court."

Then, she put the document before Lawyer Li once again and continued in a cold tone, "Have you prepared all the evidence I told you to gather? You're a top lawyer that I hired at such a costly price. You won't let me down, will you? Your law firm is one of the best in the industry. If you really have to bring this to the court, what do you think my chances are of winning?"

Lawyer Li kept away the document and got up with full confidence. "Don't worry, Miss Doris. Our law firm has never lost cases and we'll definitely fight for the most benefits for you. Mr. Gu shouldn't be able to take any advantage. After all, we do have solid evidence."

"That's good. You've set my mind at ease. If this is done well, I'll bank in the rest into your account. Also, I'll reward you separately, but if anything goes wrong, you should know how my wrath is!" Doris's eyes instantly turned cold as she looked at Lawyer Li.

"Don't worry. We will definitely get it done. Also, Miss Doris, please be careful for the time being. Try not to meet anyone just in case."

"Got it. I know that. Go meet Gu Qiwu. You should know where his ward is." Doris leaned back against the seat in a hostile manner as her blue eyes were filled with a chill, yet at the same time, there was a mix of emotions.

"Alright, I'll go right away!" Lawyer Li answered and quickly left the ward.

When she heard the door close, Doris massaged the space between her brows that was fatigued. Gloominess gathered on her exquisitely beautiful face.

It was not Doris's wish to be where they were today, but right now, they could only end like this. Despite having been married for close to 30 years, nothing remained.

A sneer curved on the corner of Doris's lips before she breathed in and slowly closed her eyes.

...

Inside Gu Qiwu's ward, when Lawyer Li brought over the divorce papers, Gu Qiwu had just finished a conference call with the office.

Ah Yong kept the laptop away and said carefully, "Boss, the lawyer that Madam has hired is right outside. He says that he wants to talk to you about the divorce contract. I told him to leave, but he refuses to. He says he must meet you. Otherwise, he'll hand it to the court and let them resolve it."

Gu Qiwu's expression instantly turned cold. The sudden drop of pressure in the air made Ah Yong shudder involuntarily.

For a moment, Gu Qiwu fell silent before sneering, "That witch couldn't stand the loneliness after all! Divorce? Since she dares to bring it up, we'll see what her conditions are. Let him in!" He lifted his glass of water and drank it nonchalantly.

"Yes, Boss!" Ah Yong responded, then waved to the door, so the black-clothed bodyguards outside the door then let Lawyer Li in.

"Mr. Gu, I believe that Miss Doris has mentioned this to you. At this point, you and Miss Doris will probably find it hard to keep going. Mr. Gu, you're a smart and frank person as well. For the sake of your relationship of many years, she's willing to compromise. This is the divorce contract. If you don't have any thoughts about the terms, then please sign it. That would be best for you and Miss Doris."

After Lawyer Li said all of that, he took the divorce papers out from his briefcase and handed it to Gu Qiwu.

Ah Yong promptly took it and handed it to Gu Qiwu whose expression sank. He casually flipped through it for a look and a smirk appeared on the corner of his lips.

"505? How greedy of her. I think she just wants the whole of the Hui Gu Corporation!" Gu Qiwu snorted. His hand flew out and then the document instantly was flung at Lawyer Li. Suddenly, Gu Qiwu leaned forward and stared at the lawyer before saying coldly, "I won't accept these conditions. Tell her that she's only got two choices right now. Firstly, leave with nothing, or secondly, forget the divorce and just waste each other's time."

Then, Gu Qiwu straightened up and gave Lawyer Li a glance of disdain. "If she wants to bring this to court, I don't mind playing along. We'll just fight to the end at the most, but you tell Doris to think this through. It won't benefit anyone to cause such a scene. Just the matter on England's end will be hard for her explain. Also, don't just assume that you're the only ones with excellent odds of winning!"

Lawyer Li did not appear panicked at all as he calmly picked up the documents that Gu Qiwu had tossed at him. With a smile, he said, "Mr. Gu, I think you should know that with your problem, you probably don't have such large odds at court. In fact, we can easily get the DNA report of you and Mu Lingshi. I hope that you'll think of your own benefits. You know well enough whether you should sign these papers or not."

"Did you not hear me properly? I can repeat myself. I won't sign it. Go back and tell Doris exactly what I said."

"Mr. Gu…"

"Ah Yong, see the guest out!"

Without waiting for the lawyer to say anything more, Gu Qiwu dismissed him. Ah Yong quickly went up to escort the lawyer out.

"This way, Lawyer Li!"

"Mr. Gu, I hope you will think this through. Otherwise, we'll have to just meet in court."

"I'll be waiting for my letter from court!" Gu Qiwu said indifferently, and then picked up his cup of water to drink it nonchalantly again.

Lawyer Li did not look very pleased, but he could not fend Ah Yong off, so in the end, he could only say, "We'll give you three days to consider it. If you still insist after three days, then we will…"

"Get out!"

"Someone, drag him out!"

...

Then, Lawyer Li was pulled out by the bodyguards outside.

Bam!

Just as the door closed, the glass in Gu Qiwu's hand was flung to the ground hard, so it shattered all over the floor!
