Time Travel Article: My parents divorced at the beginning

Chapter 210 Negotiation

After receiving a positive answer from Lin Zhao, Gu Qingyu was not planning to go find Gu An immediately.

This matter must make the Gu family frightened for a few days, so that they can learn a lesson and see if they dare to do anything again!

Having resolved a worry, Gu Qingyu was in a good mood!

Early Monday morning, Gu Qingyu got up early and came to school in high spirits. After finding the classroom according to the schedule, she began her formal college life.

Gu Qingyu had never come across economics courses in her previous life, and this was a big challenge for her now.

So she put all her energy into her studies. Not only did she listen carefully in class, but she also treated the library as her second home after class and would not return to the dormitory until she was in seclusion every day.

Time passed faster and before we knew it, it was Friday!

That day, Gu Qingyu was studying in the library when Yang Shengnan suddenly ran up to her and whispered, "Qingyu, your father just called and said he has something urgent to talk to you about!"

Gu Qingyu was surprised when he heard this, "My father is looking for me?"

Then Gu Qingyu realized what was going on. Oh my god! She had been so busy studying these days that she almost forgot about her agreement with Gu An!

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu didn't plan to stay in the library any longer. She tidied up the things on the table and stuffed them into her bag. She said to Yang Shengnan, "Sister Shengnan, my family needs me for something. I won't be returning to the dormitory tonight. Please ask the counselor for leave for me!"

Seeing Gu Qingyu's anxious look, Yang Shengnan really thought that something had happened at home, so she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, go. I'll ask for leave for you."

After leaving the library, Gu Qingyu walked towards the school's telephone room. She had to call Gu An, otherwise she didn't know how anxious the other party would be.

Gu An picked up the phone and when he heard Gu Qingyu's voice, he asked anxiously, "Qingyu, I haven't heard from you for so many days. How are things going?"

Gu Qingyu raised an eyebrow when he heard this. Seeing Gu An's anxious tone, it seemed that the Gu family had not been working these days!

"Dad, it's not convenient to talk on the phone, let's go out and talk in person!"

When Gu An heard what Gu Qingyu said, he felt relieved. Since Gu Qingyu asked to meet, it meant that there was room for improvement.

Thinking of this, Gu An hurriedly said to Gu Qingyu on the other end of the phone, "I'll listen to you. Let's meet and talk!"

Gu Qingyu didn't plan to find a special place, and directly arranged the meeting place in his own courtyard. After all, what they wanted to talk about was not suitable to be discussed in public.

Less than half an hour after Gu Qingyu returned to her own courtyard and sat down, she heard the sound of a car shutting down at the gate. It seemed that Gu An had put down the phone and rushed here without stopping.

The more anxious the other party is, the more stable Gu Qingyu's mentality will be!

Gu An looked at the small and exquisite courtyard built by Gu Qingyu, silently estimated the cost, and was shocked in his heart!

It would cost at least five or six thousand to purchase and renovate this yard into this state!

His daughter is really a hidden talent. She quietly set up such an industry in Beijing. In comparison, Gu Dongsheng and others are much inferior!

Thinking about what he had come to discuss with Gu Qingyu today, Gu An instantly looked more vicissitudes of life.

After Gu Qingyu invited the people in, he didn't waste any words and said directly, "I asked someone to go to Young Master Lin to mediate. Dong Sheng and the others' situation still has room for improvement."

"However, the prerequisite is that they need to hand over all their previous profits!"

Gu An was delighted when he heard Gu Qingyu's first words, but when he heard that he had to hand over all the profits, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.

These days, the Gu family members were not sitting around doing nothing. They sorted out all the accounts they had handled during this period and also gathered together the profits.

Several people planned to hand over their illegal gains in order to get a chance to be re-sentenced.

It's just that the money was made too easily, and Gu Dongsheng and the others didn't know how to cherish it at all. They spent it lavishly and without restraint. Now after checking the accounts, they realized that the problem was serious.

Excluding the half of the profit given to Gu Wan, the Gu Dongsheng brothers actually spent more than 30,000 yuan on eating and drinking in just a few months.

When Gu An heard the result, he almost fainted from anger. He looked at the two children in disbelief and asked, "Where did you spend all the money?"

The two brothers Gu Dongsheng looked at each other, lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer their old father's questions.

They were too embarrassed to say how they spent the money!

These two people suddenly had so much money, like poor people suddenly becoming rich, and were instigated by their friends, so they would call a large group of people to go to Houhai to spend money almost every night.

There are no less than 20 or 30 people every time, and the two brothers always pay the bill. They are typical people who are stupid and have a lot of money.

Seeing their old father covering his chest with his face flushed red, the two men huddled behind their mother like quails, not daring to say a word.

Later, after Chen Qingxue's repeated pleas, Gu An finally let the matter go.

The total assets that Gu An and his wife have saved over the years are less than 30,000 yuan, and they are afraid that they will not be able to make up the shortfall in a short time.

Now that Gu Qingyu had made this request, Gu An had no choice but to tell her the truth about the results of the previous accounting.

"We are very willing to cooperate and hand over the illegal gains, but at the moment, the gap is a bit large and there is no way to make up for it in a short time!"

Gu Qingyu didn't expect that the two brothers Gu Dongsheng would waste money so much. However, this matter was a big problem for the Gu family, but it was actually beneficial to Gu Qingyu.

No matter what, Gu Qingyu's initiative to sever ties with Gu An as a parent will be criticized by the world in terms of secular principles.

If Gu An accepted the alimony given by Gu Qingyu and used it to fill the hole for his son, then public opinion would turn to Gu Qingyu's side.

In this way, the impact of Gu Qingyu and his father's separation from their parents can be alleviated to a great extent.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu took the initiative to say to Gu An, "As we agreed before, after we end our father-daughter relationship, I will pay your future alimony in one lump sum."

"The average life expectancy is now 70. How about I add ten more years and pay you alimony in one lump sum until you're ?"

Gu An listened to Gu Qingyu's words without saying anything. He knew what Gu Qingyu meant by mentioning alimony at this time!

I'm afraid that if he takes the alimony today, people will spread the story tomorrow about how Gu An forced his eldest daughter to pay for the sake of his two younger sons.

Even if Gu Qingyu didn't tell anyone about this, his political enemies who disliked him would take advantage of the situation.

But what can he do?

If he does not accept the alimony from Gu Qingyu, the hole created by Gu Dongsheng and others will never be filled.

Gu An looked at his daughter who looked calm across from him, leaned back in his chair dejectedly, and said weakly, "Just do as you say."

Gu Qingyu didn't care what Gu An's mood was like. She was in a good mood anyway.

"Since you have no objection, while it's still early, let's go to the law firm to sign the statement of dissolution of the parental relationship, and then go to the notary office to have it notarized."

"After the notarization is completed, I will go to the bank to withdraw money for you!" Gu Qingyu took the lead and stood up, looking like he was ready to leave right away.

Upon hearing this, Gu An followed Gu Qingyu silently out of the yard.

In front of the jeep, Gu Qingyu stopped Gu An who was about to take out the keys to open the car door, "You are so restless now, I am afraid you are not fit to drive, let me drive!"

Gu An was stunned when he heard this, then he sighed with a wry smile. He was indeed not suitable to drive in his current condition.

After recovering from his shock, Gu An handed the keys to Gu Qingyu and sat in the passenger seat.

Gu Qingyu took the car keys, started the engine, released the handbrake, and then stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the law firm.

On the way, Gu Qingyu suddenly asked Gu An curiously, "You and Ms. Duan Xuezhi haven't been in contact for many years. How did you convince her to come out and sleep with you?"

Gu An, who was lost in thought, was stunned when he heard this. After he understood what question Gu Qingyu was asking, he began to speak slowly.

"Duan Xuezhi and Jiang Kejian haven't had a hard time in the southwest these past few years. They managed to get a lot of people involved and use a lot of connections to finally return to Beijing!"

"He's back, but Jiang Kejian's job hasn't been finalized yet. I told Duan Xuezhi about the Lin family's situation, and she agreed to help me persuade you!"

Duan Xuezhi is already old, but she is still so love-minded for Jiang Kejian that she is even willing to sacrifice her daughter's happiness!

"What is Jiang Kejian's current situation?" Gu Qingyu asked.

"Actually, the Jiang family does have some connections. Just two days after I contacted Duan Xuezhi, Jiang Kejian found a manager position in a unit under the Ministry of Construction!"

Gu Qingyu frowned slightly after hearing this. She could tell from Gu An's words that there seemed to be problems in the relationship between Duan Xuezhi and Jiang Kejian.

Otherwise, how could Duan Xuezhi not know that Jiang Kejian had found a way to make a comeback?

It seems that she needs to understand the situation of the Jiang family after dealing with the matter with Gu An, but it is more important to deal with the current matter first.

The jeep arrived at the law firm smoothly. The lawyer who came to draft a statement for Gu Qingyu was an old acquaintance from Xinhu - Xie Nan.

"Lawyer Xie, please help us draft a statement according to the meaning above!" Gu Qingyu took out a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to the other party.

Lawyer Xie took a look at what Gu Qingyu handed over and felt it necessary to remind the two parties.

"Legally, a statement severing ties between father and daughter is not legally binding. Are you sure you want to draft one?"

Gu Qingyu certainly knew that a statement like this severing the father-daughter relationship had no legal effect.

Although the statement is not legally binding, the maintenance agreement agreed upon by Gu Qingyu and Gu An is legally binding.

The premise of this support agreement is that Gu An agrees to sever his relationship with Gu Qingyu's parents. Finding a lawyer and notarizing the agreement are both to ensure that the content of this support agreement is true and valid.

"Lawyer Xie, just draft the support conditions according to the paper just now. The rest will be negotiated privately between us father and daughter!"

Seeing that the father and daughter both asked him to draft it, Xie Nan stopped persuading them.

After the agreement was drafted, Gu Qingyu and Gu An read it carefully. After confirming that there were no problems with each other, the two signed and sealed it under the witness of Lawyer Xie.

After coming out of the law firm, it was already late, so Gu Qingyu hurried to the notary office, trying to get the notarization done before they got off work.

After rushing for a long time, Gu Qingyu and his friends finally arrived at the notary office at 4:30.

The staff who were about to leave saw the two people suddenly rushing over and asked, "What business do you two want to handle?"

"Please help us notarize the documents!" Gu Qingyu said as he handed the information bag in his hand to the other party!

The staff member's originally nonchalant attitude suddenly widened his eyes after he took out the documents from the bag and read the contents clearly.

As if he couldn't believe what he saw, he moved the paper in his hand closer and read it carefully again.

This is truly a statement of severing ties with one’s parents!

The staff member turned around and looked up and down at Gu Qingyu and his daughter with a look of surprise, feeling extremely curious.

I don’t know what the conflict between this father and daughter is, but it has come to the point of severing their relationship.

But looking at the status of these two people, it doesn't seem like they have any deep hatred, and looking at the content of the alimony agreement, the alimony is quite generous.

I've never seen anything like this in my life, I don't understand!

The staff member looked at Gu Qingyu and Gu An and asked again, "Are you both sure that the contents of this agreement are truly voluntary?"

"Sure!"

"I am sure!"

Seeing that both of them nodded in confirmation, the staff didn't say anything more and began to notarize Gu Qingyu and the other person according to the procedure.

In just a short while, the entire notary office hall knew that a father and daughter had come to make a statement to sever their relationship.

While waiting for the processing, Gu Qingyu and his daughter clearly noticed that there were more staff members coming and going around them, and all of them were looking at them in subtle ways.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyu was completely confused. They were treating the father and daughter like monkeys in a zoo.

In this situation, the two could only endure the embarrassment and continue waiting there as if they hadn't noticed anything.

Fortunately, the staff who handled the notarization were also in a hurry to go home after get off work, so Gu Qingyu and the others didn't have to wait long before the documents were notarized.

After taking the notarized document handed over by the staff, Gu Qingyu and the others simply expressed their gratitude and quickly left the notary office.

At the notary office door, after Gu Qingyu put all the documents away, he said to Gu An beside him, "All that's left is to go to the bank to withdraw money. There's a bank just across the street, let's go over now!"

Upon hearing this, Gu An didn't want to rush to the bank to withdraw money. He knew that once he got the money, he and Gu Qingyu would hardly have the chance to meet again.

So, he tentatively said, "The bank is almost closing now, why don't we do it another day?"

Gu Qingyu refused and said, "No need. Just finish it as soon as possible so that you can get the money together and help Gu Dongsheng solve his problem, right?"

The transaction was completed very quickly, with one withdrawal and one deposit. It didn't take long for Gu Qingyu to transfer the money to Gu An.

"Now that things have been settled, let's go our separate ways here!"

Gu An suggested, "This place is a bit far from where you live, so I'll take you back!"

"No need, the bus stop is right in front, I can just take the bus back!" After saying that, Gu Qingyu waved to Gu An and walked towards the platform.

Just at this moment, the bus to Peking University arrived at the station. Seeing this, Gu Qingyu hurriedly got on the bus, leaving Gu An standing there in a daze, watching the bus gradually go away!
