Madam Gu’s words ca to an abrupt halt.
She stared wide-eyed in astonishnt, her pupils slightly contracting. It took her quite a while to recover and say, "Ning Yi, do you even realize what you’re saying? When have I ever hurt you? You’re my son, my heart aches for you; how could I possibly harm you?"
"Is that so?"
Gu Ningyi fixed his dark eyes steadily on Madam Gu’s face and spoke word for word, "If not, why did you instigate Zhou Yalin to harm Dong Xin Yan to break us apart?"
Madam Gu had concealed the fact that he was alive, which made him angry for a mont, but he could understand. At the ti... his situation was indeed very bad, and her concern for him was transferred into anger towards Dong Xin Yan. That was normal, so he didn’t bla her.
However... she not only did this, but she was also the mastermind behind all the origin of harm.
He and Dong Xin Yan could have been happily together. Dong Xin Yan wouldn’t have to bear the guilt over Cheng Ziyang’s legs, nor suffer searching for months, only to be heartlessly hurt by him. He wouldn’t have self-imposed numbness and pain for several months, tornting himself and Dong Xin Yan. They wouldn’t have wasted more than half a year’s ti.
When Secretary Lin presented the investigation report before him, he sat in the chair, staring at the report for a long ti, hesitating before slowly reaching out to open it.
In his heart, he had always hoped it wouldn’t be the answer he suspected, yet it was precisely that answer.
Even though he always knew his mother’s character, he knew she truly loved him, and she wouldn’t harm him. But hurting the person he loved most was a thousand, ten thousand tis more painful than hurting himself.
"Mom, there’s no need to look for excuses to deny it. You know, if I didn’t have evidence, I wouldn’t say such things in front of you."
Gu Ningyi’s words imdiately interrupted Madam Gu’s thought of denial. She looked at him with a sowhat embarrassed gaze, but with no sign of regret. She still sat up straight, head held high, and coldly said, "Ning Yi, everything I’ve done is for your own good. A woman like Dong Xin Yan is not worthy of you."
"Whether she’s worthy or not, it’s for to decide, not you."
Gu Ningyi retorted without hesitation, "Mom, I know you’ve always liked to plan my life, but you should also know I’ve always enjoyed doing the opposite of what you want. However, the only thing I liked you arranging for was bringing Dong Xin Yan by my side. I will definitely cherish this gift you’ve given ."
"Oh, by the way, I’ll be bringing Xinyan ho for a al soon. Haven’t you always urged to get married? If you want to marry quickly, so you can have grandchildren, then treat your future daughter-in-law well."
After saying this, Gu Ningyi stood up from the sofa, casually brushed off his sleeves, and spoke lightly, "I won’t be staying for dinner. Next ti, when I bring Xinyan over, we can all have a al together, goodbye."
When Nanny Zhang returned to the living room from the kitchen, the young master was nowhere to be seen, and Madam sitting on the sofa had a livid expression. Her chest heaved heavily in anger, and her hands that rested on her knees clenched tightly, with veins bulging on the back of her hands.
Nanny Zhang was startled and quickly said, "Madam, are you alright?"
Madam Gu’s hand suddenly gripped the armrest of the chair with force, and her voice was icy to the extre, "Call Lady Wei back and tell her, I agree to collaborate with her."
