Chapter 713: Chapter 713: You Want to Register?
The car drove smoothly on the road.
Lin Gantang rested her chin on her hand, watching the scenery pass by in reverse through the window.
“Mr. Gu’s car seems to be following us,” the driver said, after noticing it in the rearview mirror and speaking to Lin Gantang.
“Can you shake him off?” Lin Gantang didn’t want anything to do with Gu Zhichuan.
When she liked him, he was indifferent; now that she didn’t, he clung to her like an annoying plaster.
It was vexing.
“I’ll try.”
Fortunately, there was a traffic light up ahead. Seizing the last two seconds of the green light, the driver turned onto another road. The car behind was stopped by the red light, allowing the driver to drive off.
After driving for a good while, the driver finally stopped the car and said, “Miss, we’ve arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
“You can go. No need to wait for me.” Lin Gantang took a glance outside the car window, thanked the driver, and got out of the car.
Lin Gantang didn’t go in; she just stood beside the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She didn’t know whether this step was right or wrong, but…
After pondering three times, she finally picked up her phone.
However, at this moment, a harsh screeching of brakes sounded not far away, and Gu Zhichuan hurriedly got out of his car.
He strode up to her, and seeing the words “Civil Affairs Bureau” in front of him, his heart tightened as he thought of her Household register.
He had lost his car, but he guessed that she had brought her Household register to come here. He hoped his guess was wrong, but when he arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau and saw her, his anxiety was such that he couldn’t care about anything else; he just wanted to stop her.
He clenched his jaw: “Are you here to register?”
Lin Gantang curled up the corners of her lips: “What else could it be, a divorce?”
“Gantang, think it over carefully, don’t rush to register,” Gu Zhichuan blocked her, afraid she would go in.
“What else is there to think about, whether I have enough money in my pocket?”
“Gantang!” Gu Zhichuan’s heart was in turmoil, “Don’t deliberately say things to provoke me. I just hope you’ll reconsider and not act impulsively.”
Lin Gantang scoffed.
Gu Zhichuan said, “You came from the Wen family’s house, but Wen Yanqing didn’t come with you. What are you waiting for at the Civil Affairs Bureau? If he were to come, he’d have accompanied you here early!”
“Mind your own business about other people’s relationships.”
Seeing her resolute and unheeding of his words, Gu Zhichuan suppressed his urgency and asked, “Does your uncle know about your intention to register?” Her dad? Her dad didn’t know about Wen Yanqing’s worsening condition.
But she couldn’t possibly tell Gu Zhichuan that.
Lin Gantang retorted, “What do you think? The Household register is already in my hands, would he give it to me if he objected to me and Yanqing?”
All of Gu Zhichuan’s words were stuck in his throat.
Had he agreed?
When he and Lin Gantang were together and wanted to marry, Mr. Lin obstructed them at every turn; but now, even though Wen Yanqing was a blind man with disabilities, he had agreed?
Gu Zhichuan felt uneasy.
“Do you and your father like him that much?”
“Don’t you have eyes to see for yourself?”
“But he’s blind!” Gu Zhichuan said resentfully, “Not only is he blind, but he also has other problems! No matter how good or gentle he is to you, it’s useless if his head injury can’t be fixed; it will always be a hidden danger.”
Lin Gantang’s eyes turned icy in an instant: “Say that again.”
“I said, he’s not good enough for you now; he has no future,” Gu Zhichuan spoke bluntly, “There are plenty of better options, why would you choose someone like him as a burden and a liability.”
Slap—!
Lin Gantang slapped him across the face.
“The two times you met him, did you say the same thing?” Lin Gantang’s gaze was piercingly cold: “That’s just like you, kicking him when he’s down, repeatedly hurting him with your words, manipulating his emotions!”
Gu Zhichuan was slapped so hard that his face turned away, the imprint of her hand clearly marked on his cheek..
