My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again

Chapter 591: It Was All Over (1)

Xu Weilai was suddenly freed up from work and couldn’t help but feel a little tired. Placing her laptop aside, she leaned back into the sofa and closed her eyes.

Things were resolved faster than she expected. She thought she would have to stay for at least a few months but now, she had accomplished her goal in less than a month.

She had been looking forward to this moment, but now that it finally came, she could not tell if she was actually more relieved or upset.

Unwilling to dwell further into this, Xu Weilai shook her head and picked up her cellphone. She then tapped open her contact list and began to browse through.

As she might not return to China again, she found it necessary for her to bid farewell to some people.

Xu Weilai knew that she couldn’t inform her parents about this, for they probably wouldn’t let her leave without squeezing her dry first. Thus, she only planned to buy and send them some health supplements and jewelry as a final act of filial piety.

After browsing through her contacts, she realised that the only person whom she needed to say goodbye to was Chunchun.

The last time she talked to Chunchun was when Chunchun had contacted her to ask about Gu Yu’s rumored affair abroad. Afterwards, because she wallowed in the misery of her separation from Gu Yu and drowned her sorrows with alcohol every day, did not manage to keep in touch with Xiao Chun. Subsequently, she was busy investigating Su Ziqian’s matter. She only managed to have some pockets of free time now.

She wondered if Chunchun was aware that she had divorced Gu Yu.

Xu Weilai pondered for a moment before she dropped Xiao Chun a WeChat text.

“Do you have some free time over the next few days? Let’s meet up and have a meal,” she wrote.

Xiao Chun only replied after half an hour, “Lil’ Lil’ Weilai, I’m tied up these days and I’m currently overseas on a business trip. I won’t be back until a week later. Let’s meet up when I’m back!”

“By the time she’s back, I would be gone,” Xu Weilai thought.

“But judging from her tone of voice, she probably doesn’t know that Gu Yu and I are divorced. If she knew about it and know that I’m leaving, she would probably take the soonest available flight back to stop me,” Xu Weilai mused.

“Forget it. Chunchun often travels abroad, so I could just meet her the next time she’s overseas. She would understand,” Xu Weilai decided.

She then replied, “Sure, next time then.”

However, after she hung up the call, received another from Su Ziqian who had called to ask her out to a meal to express her gratitude. However, Xu Weilai turned her down with the reason that she would be leaving the country soon and because they wouldn’t ever cross paths again, should bring an end to their relationship with benefits.

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Li, the new editor-in-chief that Xu Weilai’s boss had appointed, had been colleagues with Xu Weilai for a long time. They even collaborated once for a news article. Thus, the handover was smooth and was settled in less than half a day.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony took place in the afternoon. As the representatives of Z Magazine, Xu Weilai and Zhou Li stood in the centre and smiled as they posed for the camera and cut the ribbon to mark the official launch of the Z Magazine branch office in China.

Xu Weilai did not give herself any extra time to waste and booked the 10 pm flight for that night.

When the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended, she drove back to her apartment and pushed two big boxes and one small carton out of the door. When she reached downstairs, the taxi that she had called for had already arrived.

She then got into the car after storing her luggage in the trunk and made her way to the airport.

An hour later, she arrived at the airport. After paying for her taxi fare, she lugged her luggage over to the counter and checked in. She then passed through the security check, made her way towards the boarding gate and boarded the plane.

When the plane took off, she stared out of the small window and watched as the receding scenery of the city until it was eventually shrouded by clouds.

It was all over.
