Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Marriage Certificate (1)

"Mom, I’m leaving."

Gu’s mother followed her daughter for a couple of steps, until the daughter entered the security checkpoint of the train station, ready to board. With a raised voice, she wanted to shout to her daughter to be careful on the way, but suddenly remembered her daughter couldn’t hear and had to swallow her words back down.

In fact, Gu Nuan knew her mother hadn’t left, but she couldn’t turn back to look, she could only move forward.

Having grown up, how could she still rely on her parents for living? Gu’s mother might worry about her being deaf, but even as a deaf person, she must learn to be independent, a truth Gu Nuan had realized from a young age.

If she were to rely on anyone because of her disability, it would only make those kind-hearted people who supported her a subject of ridicule by others.

Only when she became strong herself would others no longer look down on her, and they would come to respect her parents again.

Without time to tell her mother that she had gotten married, Gu Nuan sat on the train and pulled out the marriage certificate from her pocket.

About that day, how she and he went into the civil affairs bureau, she hardly remembered. All she knew was that the two of them submitted their completed forms and picked up the marriage license soon after. Just like that, they were married.

The marriage happened so quickly that Gu Nuan was completely baffled for a moment. What exactly was all those years of dating Wa Zicong?

What that man had said was indeed true.

Marriage is an investment; love, truly counts for nothing.

The law won’t protect her and Wa Zicong’s love, but it would protect her marriage to this man.

Right, what was the name of the man she married?

Gu Nuan thought hard for a long time, furrowing her brow, but all she could remember was that his surname used to be Qiao, but later he said it was a pseudonym, and his real surname was Xiao.

As for his first name, he had never told her.

Gu Nuan had no choice but to open the marriage certificate again, the red cover symbolizing China’s traditional color of celebration, inside it a joint photo of a man and a woman, herself and him.

Their sitting posture, called straight and proper, was like that of elementary school students.

His stiff facial expression looked even more awkward than hers.

Gu Nuan raised her eyebrows and closed the red book with both hands.

Her mind retained the name written on the marriage certificate: Xiao Yebai.

After sleeping on the train for a night and arriving at the station, Gu Nuan saw the message from Su Yixia.

"Are you back? Do you need me to pick you up?"

Su Yixia asked because her family had bought her a new car for her convenience in commuting to work. Su Yixia had gotten her driver’s license, but lacked actual driving experience. She wanted to pick up Gu Nuan as practice.

Gu Nuan was considering whether to inconvenience her when, carrying her luggage and walking with the crowd out of the train station, she saw a familiar figure waiting for her at the exit.

Without a second thought, Gu Nuan told Su Yixia, "No need, I have some things to take care of."

After speaking, she walked towards the person waiting for her.

The person who came to pick her up was Zang Xiaolian.

This time, Zang Xiaolian’s driver drove a blue BMW.

Real wealthy, her husband, always in luxury cars wherever he goes.

"Sister-in-law, please get in the car," Zang Xiaolian said as he opened the rear car door with a smile.

She might as well assume it was his way of trying to please her.

She got into the car.

Zang Xiaolian sat beside the driver in the passenger seat, directing the driver where to go.

Gu Nuan asked, "Where are we going?"

"Isn’t sister-in-law about to graduate? Brother said let’s find a place for sister-in-law to live. It’s definitely not safe for sister-in-law to rent a place outside the school on her own," Zang Xiaolian explained as he turned to her.
