Chapter 417: Chapter 417: How can she face to say it_1
Third Young Master Jun sneered and laughed heartily, "So, you think I need to use the group’s funds? After all these years, how well do you know your own son? However, I am looking forward to seeing the ridiculous look on your face when you can’t laugh!"
With that, he walked away arrogantly, leaving Jun Shi’s face twitching in anger. Yet at the bottom of his heart, he was full of doubt. If Third Young Master didn’t use the Jun Family’s funds, where did the astronomical sum to poach personnel come from?
Third Young Master Jun left the Group with a stern face, only to find a low-key car parked at the doorstep. The car window rolled down, revealing the face of a woman wearing sunglasses.
Third Young Master Jun’s face turned cold, and he spit out an unusual name.
"Mrs. Gu."
"Get in. I have something to discuss with you." Mrs. Gu told him.
They arrived at a quiet private dining room in a restaurant. They brewed tea, and the atmosphere became oppressively silent, uncomfortably so.
Despite this, Third Young Master Jun seemed at ease, as if he couldn’t sense the awkward silence and continued to play with the tea set, a graceful smile gracing his lips.
Mrs. Gu became even more awkward, feeling somewhat humiliated. She had a feeling that he was doing this on purpose to make her uncomfortable.
"Third Young Master, were you behind all the recent incidents concerning the Gu Clan?"
"Yes." Third Young Master Jun admitted frankly, lazily raising an eyebrow, "What’s wrong, feeling sorry for your son being messed around and want to plead for him?"
Mrs. Gu’s face stiffened. "Third Young Master, when will this cycle of revenge end, and does it make sense? The way you treated him back then, it’s no wonder he retaliated. You can’t blame him."
"How touching. You’re quite a fair mother, thinking I deserved to be revenged upon." With a cold, piercing gaze, Third Young Master Jun slammed down the teapot. "But am I revenging him for this? Have you forgotten, you and your son, how you got your wealth and status today?"
Mrs. Gu turned pale and trembled.
"If you hadn’t traded me to the Jun Family in exchange for a huge sum, could you have climbed into the upper echelons of society, could you have the status you hold today? I’m merely reclaiming what’s mine. For your ambition, you, a cold-blooded and shameless mother, did something as atrocious as selling your own son. From the day I entered the Jun Family, you ceased to be my mother!"
A slap silenced his outrage.
Third Young Master Jun looked at her in disbelief, his face stinging from the physical pain, but it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
"Hold your tongue." Mrs. Gu’s face bore an injured expression, her hands trembled, her eyes filled with anger and tears, "I gave birth to you, raised you, even if you no longer want to acknowledge me, I remain your birth mother."
Her words stung Third Young Master Jun deeply, and his heart wrenched in pain, an overwhelming agony coursing through his veins.
He laughed bitterly.
How dared she say that!
His anger was fierce and biting.
Yes, she was his birth mother, the mother who had sold him away.
Hearing his mournful and angry laughter, Mrs. Gu couldn’t help but take a step back, her face pale.
"This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard in my life." Third Young Master Jun laughed unabashedly, but a teardrop of hatred fell from his eye, "Thank you for dissipating the last shred of guilt I had. I’ll do my utmost to be a perfect villain, and make sure your happy family is devastated."
Then, they’d also become pitiful and suffering creatures, just like him.
Then, his tormented soul would finally find peace.
Third Young Master Jun walked out expressionlessly.
"Hold on." Mrs. Gu called him back in a low voice, "The main reason I came today was to ask you, about the incident back then, when you took revenge on Gu Yan, and you also ruined the life of a girl. Do you regret it? If you had a chance to marry her, would you?"
