C9 What Did You Do Yesterday?

Faced with the unexpected bombshell Liang Han dropped, both Gu Qisheng and Liang Yuanshan reacted almost identically, staring at Liang Han in disbelief. Liang Yuanshan was visibly more agitated as he immediately stood up, grabbed Liang Han's arm, and frowned, saying, "Han, you can't joke about things like this. Marriage is sacred. You can't just throw around the word 'divorce' lightly!"

"I'm not joking. I really want a divorce!"

Seeing Gu Qisheng's expression darken, Liang Han felt a bit of satisfaction. At last, she managed to unsettle his usually stoic demeanor. This thought only strengthened her resolve. She turned to her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, you promised me that if I was ever unhappy with the Gu family, you would support my decision to divorce."

Hearing this, Gu Qisheng's eyes flickered as he glanced toward Mr. Liang.

Mr. Liang, feeling a bit guilty under that gaze, cleared his throat and looked back at Liang Han. "Tell Grandpa why you're unhappy with the Gu family. Who's been mistreating you?"

"I..." Liang Han lifted her chin, thinking she could easily list her grievances. But when it came time to speak, she found herself at a loss for words. She certainly couldn't tell her grandfather that Gu Qisheng was too overbearing in certain aspects.

As Han hesitated, Qisheng, who had been silent, stepped forward and spoke calmly, "So, you want a divorce just because I won't let you work as a model?"

"Of course not—"

"What? A model?" Mr. Liang's voice rose as he heard this, his expression turning serious. "Han, you studied design abroad for four years. Why are you suddenly switching to modeling? Didn't you tell me design was your dream?"

"No, Grandpa, I do love design." Han tried to explain, but seeing her grandfather's stern expression, she knew he would get caught up in the design issue and overlook the divorce. So, she steeled herself and looked at Qisheng with determination. "I'm considering modeling because Qisheng is always rumored to be involved with actresses and models, even suspected of cheating!"

Mr. Liang's eyes changed at this revelation. What had been minor squabbles now turned serious. He looked at Qisheng, his tone heavy. "What's going on?"

Qisheng was taken aback that Han would bring this up and was about to explain when a voice suddenly came from the doorway, "Director Gu, what are you doing here?"

Everyone turned toward the voice and saw, standing at the door, none other than Anqi, whom they had just seen the night before. In their rush to enter, Han and Qisheng had forgotten to close the door, allowing Anqi to walk right into Mr. Liang's room without knocking.

After returning home last night, Anqi couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The silhouette she saw seemed so familiar. She went back to the restaurant to find Han, only to be informed by the manager that he had already quit. Suddenly, she remembered that the figure in the car looked a lot like Han!

This realization left her in a panic. She wanted to figure out what Han was up to lately, but realized they had lost touch. Her only connection now was her grandfather, who lived in a nursing home. So today, she came to the nursing home hoping to get some information from him, only to stumble upon this scene.

Han turned around and, upon seeing her, let out a sarcastic laugh. "Well, you've tracked me down all the way here."
