Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 325 - Chapter 325 Chapter 324 Shes Heading to the Capital City

Chapter 325: Chapter 324: She’s Heading to the Capital City Chapter 325: Chapter 324: She’s Heading to the Capital City There were Four Major Families in the capital.

The Huo Family, the Lu Family, the Fu Family, the Yan Family.

Beyond these, there were also three family clans, like massive mountains.

The Presidential Mansion Gong Family, the Vice Presidential Mansion Jun Family, and the Nangong Family, which ranked just below the Vice Presidential Mansion.

The clans held power in Country C, and countless Aristocratic Families yearned to follow their path.

But becoming a clan was not an easy feat!

Although the Ming Family could be considered an Aristocratic Family in Li City, compared to the Nangong Family in the capital, they really were not worth mentioning.

Old Madam Ming knew how deep the waters of the Nangong Family ran. If Ming Ying’s death was indeed related to them, uncovering the truth would not be an easy task!

“Yao girl, you suspect the Nangong Family…”

Ming Yao nodded, “Grandma, the circumstances of mom’s incident were clearly fishy, and she died so tragically, yet why does public opinion only go against her, while the person who really hurt her hasn’t even surfaced?”

“Could it be because the other party is too powerful?”

Countless doubts whirled in Ming Yao’s mind.

Thinking about Ming Ying’s death made her heart suffocate with discomfort.

It was not just because she had been reborn in this body, but for a deeper reason.

Perhaps, her previous self was also born to Ming Ying.

Back then, Ming Ying had given birth to twins.

Someone had deliberately separated the sisters!

Old Madam Ming saw the sharp glint flashing in Ming Yao’s eyes and quickly grasped her hand.

“Yao girl, I know you want to find out the truth for your mother, but the Nangong Family is not someone we can provoke. You’d better…”

Old Madam Ming had already lost her daughter and didn’t want to lose her granddaughter as well.

Ming Yao closed her reddened eyes, “Grandma, if I knew mom was harmed by someone and yet could not uncover the truth for her, she would not rest in peace under the nine springs!”

“I have to go to the capital to clarify the truth of the matter!”

Seeing Ming Yao’s determined expression, Old Madam Ming wiped away her tears.

“Finding the truth for your mother and restoring her reputation is naturally the best outcome, what Grandma is afraid of is you getting yourself in trouble as well.”

If it really involved the Nangong Family, Yao girl going to the capital alone would certainly be fraught with danger!

“Grandma, don’t worry, I will protect myself.”

“What about Fourth Master? Let him take good care of you.”

Ming Yao’s eyelashes fluttered down, not daring to tell Old Madam Ming that she had already divorced Gu Siting.

“He just happens to be developing his business in the capital as well, he can protect me there. With him, you won’t have to worry, right?”

“I’m still a bit worried…”

Ming Yao reached out her arms, tightly hugging Old Madam Ming.

“I will definitely return safely!”

“You promised Grandma, so you have to keep your word. Otherwise, Grandma will never forgive you even in death!”

“Tsk tsk tsk, Grandma, what are you talking about? Just concentrate on getting better, you’re sure to live a long life!”

…

The capital.

Imperial Palace Club.

Inside the largest VIP room, several tall and handsome figures sat on the black leather sofa.

Gu Siting was seated in the center. Yanxi glanced at Gu Siting and cautiously asked, “Fourth Brother, how did it go at the hospital that day?”

Fourth Master had been staying in the capital lately and hadn’t been seen returning to Li City–could it be that there was trouble in his marriage with Ming Yao?

Because Ming Yao had lost the child?

Gu Siting held a cigarette between his fingers. He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, his voice husky, “We divorced.”

As soon as the words were out, both Yanxi and Fu Yunshen were stunned.

Yanxi uttered a “fuck,” “No way?”

Not long ago, they were as close as glue, so how did they suddenly divorce?

Gu Siting flicked the ash off his cigarette, “So, don’t mention her in front of me again.”

Yanxi scratched his head, “Damn, Fourth Brother is divorced, and I’m married. What’s going on?”

Fu Yunshen was just taking a sip of wine when he heard Yanxi’s words, and he raised his eyebrows, “Married? To whom?”

Yanxi didn’t intend to hide it from his close brothers and frankly said, “Had a flash marriage with a country bumpkin.”

Fu Yunshen downed the liquid in his cup.

He looked at the two brothers with a sneer, “You treat marriage like it’s a vegetable market?”

Yanxi clasped his hands behind his head and leaned back on the sofa, “I’m probably the first one among you to become a dad!”

Fu Yunshen, “…”

Gu Siting, “…”

The way Yanxi talked about it was like he was asking for resentment.

Gu Siting didn’t want to talk about private matters anymore. He turned to Fu Yunshen, “That property you helped me with last time, let’s not bid on it for now.”

Fu Yunshen narrowed his phoenix eyes, “Why? Because Gu Yanyu is also bidding on it?”

“He can bid or not, it’s none of my concern. I inspected the property recently and felt something was off.”

Fu Yunshen and Yanxi were somewhat puzzled.

The property was being auctioned off by the Presidential Residence and had already been scoped out. If there truly was something off, it wouldn’t be auctioned.

“Anyway, let’s not bid on it.”

When Gu Siting, who always had precise and unique business acumen, said there was a problem, there probably was one.

Fu Yunshen nodded, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

After finishing the business conversation, Gu Siting snuffed out the cigarette and stood up, “You guys keep drinking, I’m going to leave.”

“Fourth Brother, you seem to be in a bad mood. Want me to find a top courtesan to keep you company?”

Gu Siting coldly swept Yanxi a glance, “Get lost!”

After Gu Siting left, Fu Yunshen looked at Yanxi, “You know he doesn’t like those women, why do you deliberately say such things to make him angry?”

Yanxi shrugged, “Just wanted to see if he’s still as old-fashioned after the divorce. Didn’t expect him to be exactly the same!” Even colder and more ruthless!

Gu Siting walked out of the club’s main lobby and was accidentally bumped into by a slender shadow at the door.

“Hiss…” The woman might have been hurt by the collision and took in a sharp breath of air.

“Can’t you watch where you’re going?” the woman’s aggressive voice rang out.

Gu Siting lifted his deep black eyes and looked at the woman who had bumped into him and was now playing the blame game.

The woman also lifted her head to look at him.

Their eyes met.

The woman took a moment to recognize him and chuckled, “Oh, it’s you!”

Gu Siting had no impression of the woman before him and obviously didn’t want to engage in further conversation. He coldly withdrew his gaze, ready to leave.

The woman watched his cold and peerless back and said contemptuously, “Heard you’re divorced. You had your grandma come to the Huo Family proposing marriage, thinking that just because I didn’t fancy you before, I would like a second-hand man like you now?”

Gu Siting turned his head to look at the woman one more time, his eyes cold and his voice frigid with a hint of mockery, “No matter how many times I’ve been married, you’ve never caught my eye.”

With that, he got into the Bentley.

Huo Chun watched his cold and arrogant manner, infuriated and stamping her feet.

Following behind Huo Chun, Su Keke asked in confusion, “Chuner, who is that man? Quite arrogant.”

“He used to be engaged to me, but I wasn’t interested in him. I guess he’s holding a grudge in his heart, intentionally getting married as retaliation!”
