After five years, I saw Grandpa Gu again in the hospital ward.

The old man looked at the sunset, as if reminiscing about the past.

A benevolent smile filled his face, radiating gentle happiness.

"Grandpa, five years ago when you found me, you said that I only needed to take good care of Gu Ming, soothe him with my voice, and I would earn ten million yuan a year. And I have the right to divorce anytime."

"Now that Gu Ming has recovered, I hope Grandpa can persuade him to divorce."

The old man's hands were weathered, slowly reaching out to me.

"Come here, child, let Grandpa have a look."

I walked up to Grandpa and noticed that his wrinkled and withered hands were covered in needle marks.

"You've lost weight, child. You've endured a lot of hardships, haven't you?"

"Don't worry, I will handle the divorce for you."

When I first got involved with the Gu family, I thought Grandpa Gu was a kind-hearted and approachable patriarch.

In the second month of my marriage to Gu Ming, I spilled hot soup on my leg. When I met Grandpa Gu, I mentioned it.

"If Gu Ming had half of Gu Yi's maturity, you wouldn't have to worry so much, Grandpa."

The old man's previously warm expression turned cold in an instant.

"I will deposit the money into your account on time. You don't need to come to see me anymore."

Snapping out of my reminiscence, I handed the pre-prepared soup to the nurse.

"Grandpa, I made some soup for you. Drink it while it's hot. I'll leave now."

On the way back from the hospital, I received a call from an unknown number.

I pressed the answer button, and Wen Yi's impatient voice came through the phone.

"Why is Gu Ming's card stopped? Did you do something?"

I began to understand Gu Ming a little. Wen Yi was like a piece of gum spat on the ground. Once you stepped on it, it couldn't be removed.

I explained to her, "It should be Grandpa who stopped it. He promised to help me with the divorce."

After a few seconds of silence, Wen Yi hung up the phone.

The car continued driving towards home.

I would soon be free.

Neither I nor Wen Yi could compare to Gu Ming's own interests, his extravagant and superior life as a rich young master.
