On the way back, Long Yubei didn’t say a word.
It wasn’t until after his bath, wearing a bathrobe, he sat on the sofa and poured himself a drink. While sipping, he said, "I understand why He Meiwei would do such a thing."
"I understand too, it’s all too clear. First for the money, second to get back at us in the future. Besides, what else could it be? She really doesn’t discriminate by age." Gu Lili sat next to him, also pouring herself a drink, "The only thing that surprised me tonight is that you were very indifferent about the whole He Meiwei matter, without suggesting how to deal with her."
"It’s not one person’s fault that she and Dad could get together; it’s a consequence that she, my dad, and my mom brewed together. I think it’s quite beneficial to expose this matter; it not only prevents a greater tragedy from happening, but also keeps my mom from wrongly assuming that He Meiwei is good. On the contrary, I’ve had some realizations. Do you know what I was thinking about in the Gu Family Mansion tonight?"
"I suddenly realized that there are only two types of women in this world." His deep eyes gazed at her, "Namely, you and all other women."
A spark suddenly flared in Gu Lili’s heart; she downed her drink in one gulp, pushed him down onto the sofa, and forcefully placed his glass on the table, "That sounds like a confession, doesn’t it?"
"If you think so, then it is."
She leaned down, smiling and kissed him, "I’ll take it seriously."
Long Yubei tied her hair up with a hair band, resting his hands behind his head, "You always surprise me, making me feel that every few days, there is a different you to see - something that the little bumpkin I first met cannot compare to."
Gu Lili straddled him, removed her own clothes, and bent over him.
His lips parted slightly, taking that red fruit on the left side into his mouth.
Gu Lili’s body then slid into the inside of the sofa, and he naturally turned to face her.
"I’m liking our time together more and more."
Gu Li’s mother recovered, but she was incredulously shocked by the chaos before her.
She couldn’t believe her husband had been sent to a mental hospital, couldn’t believe that all the company shares had been snatched away by Gu Xichen, and couldn’t believe that she and her son were left with nothing.
Gu Li’s mother went to look for Gu Xichen immediately, coincidentally the elderly Old Madam Gu was also scolding Gu Xichen.
She went in with her eyes red with anger, staring at Gu Xichen, "Aren’t you afraid of divine retribution for doing this?!"
"Why should I be afraid when all of you aren’t?" Gu Xichen replied calmly, "Back then, grandma drove my mom out and labeled her as a curse-bringer. Although I was young, it doesn’t mean I was unaware. Now that I am the master of the Gu Family, I plan to renovate the Gu Family Mansion to my liking. Grandma can also move to the residence outside, I’ve arranged everything. All three of you go together; I will arrange bodyguards for your safety."
It was protection in name, but in reality, it was surveillance and confinement. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⦿fire.net
"What?!" Old Madam Gu, overwhelmed with anger, cried out, "You unfilial son!"
Gu Xichen waved to the bodyguards at the door, "Take the three of them to the other residence."
Amidst a barrage of curses, Old Madam Gu and Gu Li’s mother were taken away, including Gu Minlai who was outside and could not escape.
Finally, in this house, only he remained as a member of the Gu Family.
