Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 1094: Chapter 1093: Dependence

Xia Xiaoqiao, terrified by the incident, was already out of her wits, so if she were to meet with Wang Dali, she might collapse, right? He still vividly remembered how she had trembled uncontrollably just moments ago.

Today, he had been careless, not expecting Wang Dali to be so audacious. Gu Shaoting could not help but blame himself internally. Fortunately, Xia Xiaoqiao had not suffered any harm; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to live with himself.

“What? She doesn’t want to come?” Wang Dali asked, frowning.

“No, she’s been frightened and isn’t very coherent right now. Sometimes she’s hysterical, and I’m afraid she’ll offend you again,” declared Gu Shaoting, making the situation sound more severe, hoping that Wang Dali would not pursue the matter further.

After all, the whole affair had been sparked by Wang Dali’s lecherous motives, and now he was reaping what he had sown.

Xia Xiaoqiao was his employee, and having encountered such an incident while on business, Gu Shaoting felt a responsibility.

...

He did not want his employee to suffer a second injury.

Nor could Xia Xiaoqiao bear a second injury.

“Hmph, women these days are so pretentious. Mr. Gu, my brother, tell me, an unexpected hole appeared in my head, how can I swallow this insult? If people outside hear about this, they will surely laugh at me,” Wang Dali said indignantly, which was utterly unreasonable.

“Mr. Wang, let’s talk this over. It must have been your actions that scared her, leading her to injure you by mistake. Here, I apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you, as the better person, will not hold this against her,” Gu Shaoting was indeed hoping to keep the peace.

“Mr. Gu, my brother, I just can’t swallow this insult. If she’s not your woman, then hand her over to me,” Wang Dali stated resolutely.

Gu Shaoting’s brows furrowed. This man was as stubborn as a stone; it seemed impossible to persuade him otherwise.

“Mr. Wang, she is my employee. If you really insist on this, then we’ll have to call the police,” Gu Shaoting said, knowing that with such people, one must adopt a firm stance.

He knew that Wang Dali had many shady dealings in his past, so he certainly wouldn’t dare to involve the police.

“You… Mr. Gu, are you trying to burn bridges? Do you think it’s worth it for just an employee?” Wang Dali was furiously embarrassed.

“Mr. Wang, employees are born of their parents too; we must respect others. She injured you in self-defense. I’ll take care of the medical expenses, and I hope that you will let this matter rest,” Gu Shaoting expressed his thoughts.

After considering Gu Shaoting for a moment, Wang Dali then coldly said, “Mr. Gu, what if I don’t agree?” He had been in the world for so long and had never had anyone dare to treat him like this.

Having lost his patience, Gu Shaoting said coldly, “I hope you’ll think it over.”

“Mr. Gu, it seems that you don’t care about our partnership project for the sake of a woman?” At this moment, Wang Dali truly wondered whether Gu Shaoting and Xia Xiaoqiao were really just a simple boss and secretary.

Why was Gu Shaoting protecting her so much?

“The decision is still in your hands, Mr. Wang. Think it over; I’ll await your response.” Gu Shaoting felt that to continue the standoff would be fruitless.

It might be better to let him think it through on his own. Suddenly Gu Shaoting felt that Wang Dali’s mood was unpredictable and that future cooperation might invite trouble.

Gu Shaoting did not wait for Wang Dali to answer and walked straight out of the ward.

Unable to do anything due to his bandaged head and the drip in his hand, Wang Dali watched helplessly as Gu Shaoting left.

After leaving the hospital, Gu Shaoting noticed that the weather had changed.
