Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 761 - 512 Extra Really Love You (3)

"If we had sufficient funds, I’d of course still want to make crafts representing all the unique Divine Beasts of each country," Song Ziyu continued after Gan Zi’s comment.

Gan Zi nodded, showing agreement with Song Ziyu’s statement.

After the two left the craft workshop, Gan Zi walked shoulder to shoulder with her.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them; no matter when, Gan Zi always looked like a handsome gentleman, even in a remote and desolate small town, he remained graceful, elegant, and distinguished.

Song Ziyu had also become more mature through her experiences, and although she no longer donned the latest Chanel outfits but rather simple and somewhat worn clothes, that kind of demeanor, radiating from inside out, was naturally emitted.

"Not enough funds?" Gan Zi asked nonchalantly.

Song Ziyu didn’t hide it from him, "Yes! Su Tianqing signed on to invest, but then he backed out."

Up to this point, Gan Zi had not asked her anything about Su Tianqing, but he was already well-informed about Su Tianqing.

At that moment, Gan Zi’s phone rang. He looked at it and saw an unknown number, so he answered it, and then Su Tianqing’s voice came through.

"Let’s have dinner together tonight, and we can talk," Su Tianqing proposed straightforwardly.

"Okay!" Gan Zi replied with a single word and hung up the phone.

After he put his phone back into his trouser pocket, Song Ziyu tilted her head and looked at him; by now, the tension from the work discussions with David had disappeared.

"I’ve been invited to dinner tonight," Gan Zi said with a slight smile.

"Su Tianqing?" Song Ziyu asked directly.

Gan Zi nodded.

"A Feast at Hong Gate!" Song Ziyu blurted out the metaphor.

Gan Zi laughed, "I’ll go on ahead."

"Okay!" Song Ziyu returned to the office building.

After she got back, Qiao Xiaoyan was eating out of a meal box. "Weren’t you supposed to have dinner with Gan Divine Beast?"

"Su Tianqing invited him out!" Song Ziyu sat down, "Tell me, with his narrow mind and penchant for stirring up trouble, what does he want with Professor Gan?"

Qiao Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks, "Are you daft? He obviously sees Gan Divine Beast as his biggest rival! Negotiations! If negotiations break down, could it come to a fight? It’s just a pity, there’s no police station in town! If something happens, who will maintain public order? Ziyu, isn’t it strange? This town doesn’t even have a police outpost! Do people here just obey the law that well?"

Song Ziyu called the restaurant, "Send over a bowl of spicy beef noodles later..."

"Me too!" Qiao Xiaoyan exclaimed.

"Make it two!" Song Ziyu hung up the phone, "Aren’t you afraid of getting fat? After eating a meal, you still want a bowl of spicy beef noodles."

"Not afraid!" Qiao Xiaoyan laughed, "Have you seen the movie ’Love on a Diet’? If I get fat, I can find true love!"

"It seems, our Xiaoyan is longing for a man!" Song Ziyu laughed, "Back to our discussion, actually, the frequency of crime in a place is directly linked to the economy of the area. Since this town is poor, the likelihood of crimes is also low. Conversely, look at city A, Zhuo Yufeng is almost always working on cases every day."

"So, you become the Mayor, and appoint me your coroner!" Qiao Xiaoyan joked, "That way, I’ll be able to slack off here!"

Song Ziyu scoffed, "Professor Gan said it takes a lot of energy and resources to train a forensic officer, and you want to waste your time like that?" She hummed, "You really can’t keep wasting away like this. Song Xuyao isn’t worth waiting for, just like Su Tian is not worth my time..."

"Then give me Gan Divine Beast!" Qiao Xiaoyan made a jokey comment.

"Get out!" Song Ziyu laughed, "I’ll kick you out of town, go stay where it’s cool for you!"

Before long, two bowls of beef noodles arrived, and they started to eat.

Before they finished their noodles, villagers came to report: "Someone in the village committee has been killed!"

Song Ziyu choked on her noodles without swallowing, while Qiao Xiaoyan, out of professional habit, immediately stood up to get her equipment bag, only to realize she didn’t bring anything with her to this place!

"Jinx!" Qiao Xiaoyan scolded herself, "What should I do?"

While wiping his mouth with a tissue, Song Ziyu said, "I’ll call the city first, report to the municipal bureau, and on the other hand, ask them to send over a forensic team. Let’s go check out the scene together."

Qiao Xiaoyan took the tissue from her and immediately went to the scene with Song Ziyu.

The guesthouse.

Gan Zi gladly accepted the invitation, his suit jacket still draped over his wrist, ever the epitome of academic rigour at all times.

When he arrived, Su Tianqing was already smoking.

He looked at the cigarette butts in Su Tianqing’s ashtray and his lips curled into a faint, knowing smile.

Gan Zi sat down and placed his suit jacket aside.

Su Tianqing had been drinking a bit of alcohol and smoking even more. His shirt was askew and wrinkled, still the same one he had worn on the train yesterday.

Upon seeing him arrive, Su Tianqing said, "Gan the Beast... You’re trying to get your hands on your student!"

"Are you accusing me, Mr. Su?" Gan Zi raised an eyebrow indifferently.

"She’s my wife!" declared Su Tianqing starkly.

Gan Zi had already guessed the nature of their relationship and nonchalantly quirked his lips: "Oh!"

That’s it?

Leaning sideways in the couch, Su Tianqing looked at him and said, "I called you here today to tell you to leave this town as soon as possible!"

Gan Zi’s tone remained calm: "State your reasons!"

"No reason needed!" Su Tianqing was accustomed to throwing his weight around, "I’m telling you to leave, so leave!"

"Then let me state my reasons for staying: first, I’m genuinely interested in the town’s project; second, I like Ziyu, she’s single now, she’s not your wife, she is your ex-wife." While Gan Zi said this, his expression remained composed, but his voice rose and fell with the emotional undulations in his heart.

Su Tianqing slammed the table, "You’re too old, you’re not right for her!"

"No, I’m only 40 years old, in the prime of a man’s life." Gan Zi appeared younger than his actual age.

Seeing that he was determined not to leave, Su Tianqing insisted, "You’re 15 years older than her, she could be your daughter!"

"Look, when the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Yang Zhenning was 82, he married a 28-year-old girl. Their love is deep and as vast as the sea," Gan Zi countered everything Su Tianqing said with logical facts or evidence.

Nearly resorting to fists, Su Tianqing seethed, "Gan Zi, no matter what I say, you won’t leave, will you?"

Gan Zi stood up, "It seems there’s nothing left for us to discuss!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Su Tianqing’s summon was nothing but a torrent of shouting!

At the door, Gan Zi finally said, "Mr. Su, some people have high IQs but low EQs, and you’re just this type of person. You said a lot to me today, but you haven’t touched on what’s important."

"I’m not your student, you don’t need to lecture me!" Su Tianqing downed the liquor in his glass in one gulp.

Gan Zi didn’t mind his attitude, "If I had a student with as low EQ as yours, I would feel very sad too."

"You..." Today Su Tianqing’s summoning of Gan Zi turned out to be a session of his being mocked and ridiculed!

"Don’t be resentful!" Gan Zi added one last remark, "If you like Ziyu, you’d better do things that make her feel loved and appreciated. She is a smart woman, smarter than you at least! Instead of roaring at me here, even if I leave, you still won’t gain her love!"

After Gan Zi left, Su Tianqing collapsed onto the sofa.

Hasn’t he done things to make her happy?

Or is it that everything he did, she always, always hated?
