My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again - Chapter 575

Chapter 575: He’s Really Gone (1)

After Xu Weilai finished speaking, Qiao Chu replied, “So you need a place to stay? Sure, I’ll arrange for it right away. You could even move in tomorrow.”

“…”

“Alright then. I shouldn’t underestimate Big Boss’ abilities, or rather, his financial capabilities. After all, one would always have a place to stay as long as one could afford it,” Xu Weilai thought.

She had stayed behind to attend to matters regarding her company’s branch office. As she wouldn’t be staying for long, she was not uncomfortable with the idea of accepting her boss’s kind intentions.

Thus, she said sincerely, “I’ll have to trouble you to help me out with this then. Could you send my gratitude to Big Boss?”

“Big Boss?” Qiao Chu repeated quizzically.

As Xu Weilai usually addressed Mr. Zuo as her Big Boss in email correspondence, she had become used to this. With forced laughter, she corrected herself and explained, “I mean Mr. Zuo.”

Xu Weilai thought she might have heard a barely audible chuckle from Qiao Chu. Eventually, he concluded, “I’ll call you again when I’ve made the arrangements.”

“Sure, thank you.”

After hanging up the call, Xu Weilai heaved a sigh of relief. She had finally settled her accommodations and could move out of Gu Yu’s apartment tomorrow. However, this would also mean that she was walking out of Gu Yu’s life completely.

She had already packed her belongings but there were still some items from Gu Yu that she needed to sort out.

Xu Weilai got up and after she entered the bedroom, sat down in front of the dressing table and pulled open one of the drawers. She then took out all of her jewellery boxes.

Gu Yu had given her three rings previously.

The first one was given to her at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau when they were married. His grandfather had forced him to buy it for her. However, he had said to her viciously that she doesn’t deserve it.

She received the second ring during the first time that they returned to the Xu Residence after their wedding. Gu Yu had given it to her as a prop and it was a beautiful, huge, pink diamond ring.

The third one was a gift that his mother had left behind for his future spouse.

Ultimately, none of the rings belonged to her.

Xu Weilai turned and picked up her bag to fish out her wallet before she opened it and took out an Amex Centurion card.

She then placed the black Amex card aside for it was also given to her by Gu Yu and does not belong to her.

“What else is left?” she wondered.

“It seems…like that’s pretty much it,” she thought.

Gu Yu had promised her the grandest wedding of the century but ultimately failed to keep to his words. Her hopes of wedding dresses, wedding photos and honeymoon trips were all dashed.

In fact, she also barely had any memories to reminisce about fondly.

The few sweet memories that she had of Gu Yu also became extremely ironic now when she recalled about them now.

What he had done wasn’t out of love but responsibility.

It was just an illusion.

Xu Weilai clutched her chest which had begun to ache again and staggered towards the wine cabinet in the study. She quickly took out the last few bottles of wine.

After she pried open the cap, chugged down one bottle after another.

While drinking, she suddenly remembered that there was still one more thing that she had to do and thus, she quickly picked up her phone to open her WeChat and search for Gu Yu’s profile picture. She needed to inform him that she would return him the ring, Amex card and the keys to the apartment tomorrow so that he could arrange for someone to collect them.

These items were too expensive and she couldn’t risk losing it by returning them to him via express delivery.

However, she couldn’t seem to find his contact in her WeChat no matter how many times she searched through her contact list. “Where’s Gu Yu? Why is his contact gone?”

Xu Weilai could hardly believe her eyes and looked through her WeChat list again carefully.

However, it seemed like his contact was really gone.

“Why did it disappear?” she wondered.

“Oh, right. I deleted his contact this morning. We even got a divorce and… the Zuo family’s daughter whom he was rumoured to be with had also returned today.

“Gu Yu’s really gone from my life now,” Xu Weilai thought.
