Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore

When I saw Ye Shuang again, it was already late at night.

At this moment, the whole city was immersed in silence, with only faint lights shining through the windows onto the road.

Ye Shuang was sitting quietly on a bench in the corridor at this time, looking lonely and desolate.

Her eyes were slightly closed, but not completely, as if she was trying to stay awake. Her body was curled up in a ball, as if to resist the cold and fear. Her hands were tightly wrapped around her knees, as if to protect herself.

Gu Yan approached her quietly, looking at her tired and pale face, and couldn't help feeling helpless.

He Li didn't know much about Gu Yan's mother before. Only today did he learn that Gu Yan's mother suffered from a serious mental illness, and judging from her condition, it had been like this for more than a day or two.

Gu Yan slowed down his pace and approached Ye Shuang step by step.

A few hours ago, she was almost strangled to death by her own biological mother, but now Ye Shuang looks so fragile and helpless that people can't help but want to comfort her.

However, when Gu Yan tried to speak, he found that his voice became hoarse.

"Mom..." Gu Yan called softly.

She slowly raised her head, looking at Gu Yan with a confused look in her eyes, then suddenly grabbed Gu Yan's wrist, with a hint of bitterness in her smile. "Excuse me, have you seen my son? He was just here. I wanted to buy him some candy, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye," she said.

Gu Yan looked at the strange yet familiar woman in front of her, her heart filled with helplessness and pain. She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, but her voice couldn't help but tremble: "Mom, wake up. Gu Ci has been gone for almost 20 years. Why can't you forget him?"

Tears welled up in her eyes, as if she wanted to pour out all the grievances and pain she had experienced over the years: "Mom, can you please look back at your daughter? I've always been by your side!"

It's said that people who stay in an oppressive environment for a long time are prone to rebounding. At this moment, Gu Yan was like a spring that had been suppressed by pressure for years. She didn't want to endure it any longer. She struggled to break free from her mother's hand and shouted, "Enough! Don't dwell on the pain of the past! We need to face reality!"

However, the mother was still immersed in her own world, muttering to herself: "My son... my son..."

Gu Yan felt a sense of despair. She knew that no matter how hard she tried, she could not awaken her mother's sleeping heart.

"Gu Yan, calm down." Seeing Gu Yan's loss of composure, He Li couldn't help but feel pity. Perhaps, unrequited love is simply the norm in life. Gu Yan raised her head and stared at the ceiling, as if pouring out her endless sorrow. Then, she took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself, but she found that the more she tried to regain her composure, the more her inner collapse intensified.

"Mom, I really don't want to send you to that cold hospital anymore, so I beg you, please forget about Gu Ci, okay?" Ever since Gu Ci passed away, her mother's heart felt like it had an incurable disease, with attacks coming on from time to time. Every time it came on, her mother would fall into endless sorrow and pain, and Gu Yan would become her victim.

For many years, Gu Yan had endured all of this silently, rarely showing her emotions. From childhood to adulthood, she was willing to endure anything as long as it made her mother feel more comfortable. However, now she realized that she was not as strong as she thought.

Every time she saw her mother suffer because of Gu Ci, Gu Yan was filled with helplessness and self-blame. She knew that her mother's love for Gu Ci was deep and inseparable, but this love also brought them great pain.

Gu Yan tried to persuade her mother to let go of the past and start a new life, but her mother could not let it go. Her heart was deeply hurt by Gu Ci's departure, and it seemed that it would never heal.

In this process, Gu Yan gradually realized that some pains cannot be easily erased. Even if time passes, they are still deeply rooted in the heart. But she also firmly believes that as long as she perseveres, there will always be a day when she will be able to walk out of the haze and find hope in life again.

It was not known whether it was Gu Yan's voice that brought Ye Shuang back to her senses, or for some other reason. In short, when Gu Yan's voice sounded, Ye Shuang seemed to be awakened from a dream. She suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Gu Yan in front of her with confused eyes, as if she didn't know her.

As time went by, images began to flash through Ye Shuang's mind. These images were intermittent, like clips from a movie, making it difficult to make sense. However, as these images continued to emerge, Ye Shuang's face became increasingly ugly, and her head felt splitting, as if countless needles were piercing her head.

At the same time, tears began to form in Ye Shuang's eyes. Tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground, forming teardrops. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.

Finally, Ye Shuang couldn't help crying out loud: "You are A Yan, the daughter I snatched from someone else. Haha, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have coveted other people's happiness, and then God started to punish me, but why did it have to be retributed on my son? God, if you want justice, ask it from me, why punish my son, why?!"

Ye Shuang suddenly became excited, stood up and pushed Gu Yan away. Fortunately, He Li was quick to control Ye Shuang, and the accompanying medical staff also came over at this time and quickly gave Ye Shuang a sedative.

Gu Yan just watched her mother being forcibly taken away. She thought that Ye Shuang's words just now were just her hysteria starting again.

Gu Yan had endured too many things today that she shouldn't have endured, and He Li didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he just took Gu Yan back to the manor.

When the car stopped, He Li realized that Gu Yan had fallen asleep due to exhaustion.

But Gu Yan, who was sleeping, still had tears in the corners of her eyes. Seeing Gu Yan showing her vulnerable side so rarely, He Li felt both pain and anger in his heart.

What hurts is that Gu Yan's past hides so much pain, and what makes him angry is that they have known each other for so many years, but Gu Yan has never intended to share these things with him.

Perhaps, deep down in Gu Yan's heart, He Li is still a person who is not worthy of trust.

He Li got out of the car and walked to the passenger window, then opened the door and carried the sleeping Gu Yan out sideways.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Bai Xiner sitting at the gate of the manor.

"Mr. He, you, you went to look for Gu Yan?"

Bai Xiner never imagined that she had originally planned to win He Li's sympathy by waiting patiently, but she didn't expect to see He Li so carefully carrying Gu Yan out of the car. Her expression was almost unbearable, and even her speech was a little unnatural.

"Mr. He, so, I'm just a tool for you and Gu Yan to use to get angry with each other? Didn't you ask me to be your personal assistant?"

He Li looked at the woman before him, feeling a little irritated. He'd already dealt with Bai Xin'er's drama all day. On the one hand, he really wanted to make Gu Yan jealous, but on the other, he'd also received the latest news: Bai Xin'er was that person's spy. So, seeing this was a win-win situation, he went for it. He had no idea that this would only backfire.

He Li took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm. "Bai Xin'er, don't misunderstand me. I don't have any other intentions towards you. I just need a personal assistant, and you happen to meet the requirements. As for what happened just now, it was just an accident."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Bai Xiner's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She knew that now was not the time to lose her temper; she had to remain rational in order to gain more opportunities.

"Mr. Crane, I understand. I will do my job well and will not cause you any trouble. However, please do not treat me like this in the future. I am also a person with feelings."

He Li nodded. He could sense Bai Xiner's mood changes. Although he had no feelings for Bai Xiner, he didn't want to hurt her feelings. After all, they still had a cooperative relationship.

"Okay, I promise. I'll pay attention next time."

After saying that, He Li carried Gu Yan into the manor.

Bai Xiner was left standing there alone, feeling mixed emotions.

Seeing He Li's loving care for Gu Yan, Bai Xin'er was filled with jealousy and resentment. She bit her lips tightly, and her eyes flashed with anger.

"He Li, you will definitely regret this. I will let you know who is the one who truly loves you. No one in this world can love you more than me. And a woman like Gu Yan who is fickle doesn't deserve your love at all!" Bai Xiner's voice was full of hatred and determination.

From the information that person gave Bai Xiner, she learned a lot about Gu Yan's past. It turned out that Gu Yan had been married before, which made Bai Xiner feel that she had found a weakness to attack her.

"What qualifications does a woman who has been married have to compete with me for He Li?" Bai Xiner sneered in her heart. She thought that she had a more noble status and pure love, and she had every reason to look down on Gu Yan.

However, Bai Xiner did not realize that love is not a simple competition, but a deep emotional connection. He Li's love for Gu Yan cannot be easily shaken, and no matter how hard she tries, it is difficult to change this fact.

After He Li entered the room, A Da, Asan and Shen Anan, who were waiting inside the house, rushed over all at once.

"What happened to the lady?"

Ever since Shen Anan said those heartless words to Gu Yan during the day, Shen Anan has been restless the whole day. Although she received He Li's order, deep down in her heart she didn't want to hurt Gu Yan.

He Li didn't answer, but strode quickly with Gu Yan in his arms to his room.
