Chapter 585 Dad and I, we still have to separate (8)_1

The divorce announcement from a few days ago on microblog is still causing a stir today.

Thinking that Eleven was unaware, the ladies pulled her into their afternoon tea session, readily offering all the gossip they had accumulated.

"Do you know, Qianxun, someone I know told me that Mrs. Gu is actually from a highly respected family. Despite such a background, she ended up divorced and couldn’t even secure her standing through her child."

"In my opinion, it’s all because she didn’t birth a son, otherwise—"

Eleven smiled, "Didn’t your acquaintance tell you that I am Mrs. Gu?"

Eleven knew they wouldn’t take her seriously, so she bravely spoke her mind.

If the day comes when this news can not be hidden anymore, they will surely reel with shock.

As expected, hearing this they began to laugh, "We haven’t seen you for a few days, and Qianxun, you’ve become quite the jokester, haven’t you? If you were Mrs. Gu, the alimony alone would be enough for you to live on, why would you need to work here with us?"

Alimony?

Gu Liancheng gave her a house, which has a considerable market value. She could get a good amount of money if she sold it.

However, she didn’t want it.

They didn’t believe what Eleven said and thought that she was just joking.

Some even played along, interviewing her in jest, "Mrs. Gu, can you tell us if your blessings for your ex-husband on the microblog were sincere? Were you willing to display that agreement for his reputation, does it mean that he still has a place in your heart?"

Eleven responded as if she really was being interviewed, laughing lightly, she answered, "Yes, I was in love."

Someone shoved her shoulder and there was a burst of laughter in the break room.

"Go away! Don’t be ridiculous! You’ve taken yourself too seriously!"

The hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Eleven’s mouth.

Truth or fiction, how could outsiders possibly see through it all?

When it was time, Eleven punctually left work. Lin Qiang called her, but she didn’t respond and just left. She had to go pick up her child, the shadow of the Gu Residence taking her child still lingered.

When Eleven arrived, the butler’s car also arrived, with two children coming out. Gu Mengmeng couldn’t wait to throw herself into Eleven’s arms for a kiss, "Eleven, I missed you so much! Did you miss me?"

"I did." Eleven gave her a reassured hug.

Eleven didn’t let Jiujiu get in the car, she squatted down to explain to him, "From today on, we will live at home, okay?"

Jiujiu understood immediately, glancing at Mengmeng in the car.

Eleven spoke with a guilty heart, "Well...if you can’t bear to part with Mengmeng, you can go with her, I won’t go."

"Can you manage on your own? In wind, rain, thunder, lightning, won’t you be huddling under the blanket trembling? Who will hold you then?" Jiujiu asked.

"I knew it, my Jiujiu baby loves me the most."

"Eleven..." Gu Mengmeng sat in the car with a pitiful look, "Don’t you love me anymore...how can you be like this, abandoning your daughter after a quarrel..."

"Baby, Mommy never stopped loving you! But you’re also Daddy’s sweetheart, I can’t just take you away. Since things have already come to this, let’s just take things as they come. You can always come see us whenever you miss us."

Gu Mengmeng pouted and said, "But I miss you guys every second."

Mengmeng’s words made Eleven’s nose tingle with the threat of tears.

"I’m sorry, baby. Your father and I... we have to separate."

"Why?"

"There are many, many reasons. Your father has his helplessness, and I have my ideas."

If she had known it would come to this, she might have preferred not knowing Mengmeng’s identity, and she would not be in such a predicament now.

Grandpa Jiǔ stroked his chin, mumbling that someone had better scramble out of the current difficult situation soon. If things continued like this, the two could only grow further apart, right?

Inside the car, Mengmeng wiped away her "tears of sorrow" and quickly rummaged for her phone: "Phone, phone..."
