Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Why Is It Like This
"Threaten you? Things from the past are long gone, what can he use to threaten you with? Those matters have ended, even if he blurted it out, so what?" It was clear that Gu Zheng didn’t believe Li Yulan’s excuse either, and even gave a disdainful eye: "Furthermore, according to your account, Xiang Bei has been threatening you for over twenty years, threatening a child out of you? Heh, Yulan, have you thought about the consequences when you speak?"
Although he knew from the beginning that Li Yulan’s sincerity toward him was limited, given the circumstances back then, he’d rather be with Li Yulan, and he didn’t want to learn more about Gu Ningyue’s mother.
From the moment he confirmed his relationship with Gu Ningyue’s mother, his dignity as a man was essentially shattered completely.
Thus, even if Gu Ningyue’s mother was as beautiful as an angel, he could not muster any affection for her.
"No, that’s not it! Honey, listen to me!" Li Yulan’s face turned pale, showing an expression difficult to articulate, as if everyone else forced her to do everything, making her seem only an innocent victim: "You know, I was with Xiang Bei before, but later he betrayed me. After knowing I was with you and had Wanwan, one day he deliberately called me and threatened me with an old matter from many years ago! So I had no choice but to go out with him."
"Unexpectedly, after meeting, he drugged my drink, and I didn’t know what happened. I-I always thought Xiao Heng was our child, only until Xiang Bei moved back to City A did I learn about this matter!"
She bit her lip, a gesture that when performed by a younger Li Yulan would have elicited sympathy, but her crow’s feet now stripped her of her youthful charm.
Gu Ningyue looked at Li Yulan’s face, feeling a wave of disgust.
Can’t believe the original one’s mother lost to someone like her.
How is this woman better than a young lady from a distinguished family, when all she does is use dirty tactics, nothing but trash!
Such a woman, even if she was somewhat pretty when young, she wouldn’t want her even when given for free!
Really wondering what Gu Zheng was thinking, loving such a woman for so many years!
Gu Ningyue looked at Gu Zheng, only to see him clenching his fist, confronting Li Yulan: "Then tell me, what evidence does Xiang Bei have to threaten me?"
That matter from many years ago was something he had cleaned up long ago, and moreover, that woman had already died, how could that still threaten him? Besides, he’s confident that all this time the Gu Family has conducted legitimate business. There’s nothing that could be held against them, Gu Zheng is certain of this!
"Do I really have to say it?" Li Yulan glanced at Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou, feeling a pang in her heart.
To be suppressed to this degree by this wretched girl, how would she face people in the future?
But just now, the divorce papers Gu Zheng handed over indicated that the money she’d get would be only a few tens of thousands, and she wouldn’t get a share of this house either.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t she be no different from a beggar?
A beggar working for twenty-something years would surely get more than this!
Thinking of this, Li Yulan’s eyes welled up with tears, making herself appear even pitiful.
Gu Ningyue remained unmoved, having seen Li Yulan display such mannerism many times since childhood, and it’s still the same now?
At such an age, can’t she come up with something fresh? Thinking she’s still an eighteen-year-old girl?
"Speak!" Gu Zheng shouted harshly, seemingly having lost even the last trace of attachment to Li Yulan!
Li Yulan heard Gu Zheng’s command, and could only reply: "Alright... I’ll tell you... Xiang Bei found out about the incident more than twenty years ago where you had someone severely injure Miss Sun. He threatened to inform the Sun Family and Miss Sun’s later husband. Xiang Bei found that now Miss Sun’s former husband is quite powerful. I didn’t want them to know about this matter, that’s why I was threatened by Xiang Bei... Honey, I really did it all for you!"
Gu Ningyue had been silent, but hearing this, she couldn’t help but retort: "If you were truly doing it for my dad, would you still partner with Xiang Bei to sabotage my dad’s company? Don’t tell me, this too was forced by Xiang Bei! Why not call Xiang Bei over and confront him?" With what she’s gathered, it’s enough to kick Li Yulan out of the house.
But... if Li Yulan later teams up with Xiang Bei, and Gu Zheng doesn’t believe it, then things might get difficult!
Gu Ningyue looked at Li Yulan’s furious eyes, her lips curled into a peculiar smile: "What, am I wrong?" "Ningyue, I know I haven’t treated you well, but who can truly be kind to the child of the original wife? You can stand here before me, talking to me like this, I’ve been kind enough! Why won’t you just let go of me?" Li Yulan retorted.
Gu Ningyue laughed even more brilliantly: "So, should I thank you for this kindness?"
Her eyes emitted a murderous aura, even lowering the atmosphere in the room.
Li Yulan shivered, that girl, she’s just like a demon...
Why, why, is this Gu Ningyue really the same person she used to abuse?
Why can’t she find a trace of the former person in Gu Ningyue now? Why?
Gu Zheng was also shaken by Gu Ningyue’s gaze, his daughter had become different since a certain point many years ago.
She seemed as though someone had injected a new soul into her, she’s no longer the lamb waiting to be slaughtered as before!
Gu Zheng turned his head back to Li Yulan, saying: "The matter with Miss Sun has been settled, I personally told you. Since Xiang Bei threatened you, why didn’t you just come and ask me directly what the matter was? You didn’t trust your husband, but rather trusted an outsider?"
Gu Ningyue listened from the side, wondering who exactly is Miss Sun? What did Gu Zheng do back then?
Could it be that besides the original’s mother, there’s another woman Gu Zheng let down?
Or, worse, did he directly kill the other woman?
No way! Gu Zheng has such capability? Gu Ningyue was perplexed.
What happened back then?
Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou, who seemed also interested in the conversation between these two.
Miss Sun? Such an unfamiliar surname...
Didn’t expect, Gu Zheng seemed upright, the company has no illegal activities, yet there was such a past!
