Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Sacrifice for Revenge_1
"Back in the day, I was too young and hotheaded, not knowing when to step back. But now, I finally understand what I truly want, I don’t wish to miss out anymore."
"I don’t believe you, you’re lying to me."
Mrs. Gu still finds it hard to believe, why did his attitude change so swiftly?
She knew he was a stubborn person who could not tolerate even the slightest flaw.
Could it be...
A sudden chill ran through her heart as she recalled the recent rumors swirling around in high society, concerning an incident of Jun Huang and Ye Lu being excessively intimate at a banquet.
Feeling more alarmed, Mrs. Gu thought to herself, could it be that he has spotted something about the past and now, intentionally intends to use Ye Lu as an instrument of revenge against Jun Huang?
"Mother, why don’t you believe me? If you don’t think that I wish to marry her out of love for her, then what reason do you think I have for marrying her?"
Gu Yan, who was normally indifferent, had a gaze that was unexpectedly intimidating at this moment.
Mrs. Gu couldn’t muster the courage to utter words. How could she say that his intention to marry was an act of revenge? Wouldn’t that reveal the truth of what happened back then?
However, his sudden decision left her with no choice but to doubt.
Could he know about what happened years ago?
But how could he possibly know?
"Mother, no matter how much you object, I will not change my mind. I absolutely must be with her." Gu Yan stated firmly.
Mrs. Gu shivered slightly and forced a smile," If you really do love her, if you can’t let her go and wish to marry her... mother will not object, just like how I didn’t object when you were determined to marry her back in the day."
Out of guilt, she had always indulged his every demand since he was young, even when he was being capricious.
She loved him even more than she loved Jun Huang.
"But all your mother honestly hopes for is that you can find happiness and that you are not marrying Ye Lu for any other reason, could you reconsider carefully? For your mother’s sake."
Mrs. Gu pleaded with a sorrowful expression.
Because she knows, this situation might cause great waves.
Ye Lu and Jun Huang are already together, and him trying to take her back could only intensify the animosity between the brothers.
She didn’t want Gu Yan to be hurt, but she also didn’t want Jun Huang to be injured, because, he too was her child.
Even if she had abandoned him, he still remained the child that she cherished!
Both sides of the hand are flesh.
"Mother, I have made my decision judiciously, there’s no need for further words!"
Mrs. Gu walked out of the room, dismayed and devastated.
Fate, after seven years, the catastrophe of brothers turning against each other could still not be avoided.
Back in the day, Jun Huang, who felt aggrieved by Gu Yan’s happy home and full blessings, was burned with resentment and forcefully took his brother’s wife shattering Gu Yan and Ye Lu’s happiness completely.
After the incident, upon discovering the shocking truth, she dare not speak a word, and was powerless.
She could only hurriedly send Ye Lu away, forcing the incident down.
But who could have expected, after seven years, the three of them would meet once again.
This time, it’s Jun Huang who is now with Ye Lu and Gu Yan wants to ruin them, and take Ye Lu back.
"Absolute madness, no matter how much I try to stop you, I can’t. You keep getting in each other’s way. Jun Huang, this is what you owe him, and it’s time to give it back."
Mrs. Gu forced a bitter smile; at this point, she could no longer control anything and could only choose to let go.
Ever since Jun Shi intended to forcibly take a child away, their family has been destined to crumble apart and harbor hatred for each other.
The only sense of guilt she felt was that, from start to finish, Ye Lu had been the collateral damage in their brothers’ revenge.
