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

At this moment, Gu Yihuai suddenly appeared, breaking the stalemate. He Li subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop him, but when he saw the undisguised defensive look on Gu Yan's face, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable tingling sensation in his heart, as if something had broken in his heart.

His originally firm and cold gaze began to waver, and his mind kept flashing back to the bits and pieces of his past with Gu Yan. Those beautiful memories formed a sharp contrast with her current indifference towards him, which made him fall into deep self-doubt.

However, He Li couldn't stop at this moment. His heart was filled with conflict and struggle, but he also knew that if he didn't stop Gu Yihuai, the consequences would be disastrous. So, he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and continued walking towards Gu Yihuai.

"Mr. Gu, she is already my wife. No one can take her away without my permission!"

He Li knew Gu Yan's personality. If the misunderstanding continued like this, she might really give up on their relationship.

But Gu Yan shook her head firmly, her eyes filled with determination and indifference. She stared at the man in front of her quietly, as if she could see through him, and said, "If you hadn't done it, then even if it meant death, I would return to you. Because we once had a deep bond, I'm willing to believe you. But if it turns out you really did those things, do you think you can still keep me?" After saying this, Gu Yan's gaze grew sharper, as if challenging the man's bottom line.

He Li knew that any further explanation would be futile. There were some things he couldn't explain to Gu Yan in front of Fu Xu and Gu Yihuai. These matters were not only related to his own interests, but also because he didn't want to put Gu Yan in danger.

He knew very well how much Fu Xu and Gu Yihuai valued Gu Yan. If he told them the truth, it might cause unnecessary trouble or even danger. So, although he had many things to say to Gu Yan, he could only choose to remain silent at this moment.

Just like that, Gu Yihuai took Gu Yan away without any effort. After getting in the car, Gu Yan chose to remain silent. She wanted to see what kind of medicine Gu Yihuai was selling in Yancheng after traveling thousands of miles.

Along the way, Gu Yan didn't say a word, just silently looking at the scenery outside the window, thinking about how to deal with it next. Gu Yihuai seemed very relaxed. He chatted with Gu Yan while driving, trying to break the silence in the car. However, no matter what he said, Gu Yan remained silent.

Finally, the car stopped at the door of a hotel. After Gu Yihuai got out of the car, he opened the door and motioned Gu Yan to go in with him. Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, but still followed Gu Yihuai into the hotel lobby.

"What are we doing here?" Gu Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I'm resting!" Gu Yihuai replied with a smile, "I don't want you to be too tired."

Gu Yan frowned, a trace of doubt in her heart. She didn't know why Gu Yihuai brought her here, nor did she know what medicine he was selling in the gourd. But she decided to observe the situation first, and then make a plan. So, she followed Gu Yihuai into the elevator and went to the floor where the room was.

When Gu Yan opened the door and went in, she saw an unexpected person there.

"Mom, why are you here?"

After asking this question, he felt stupid and turned to look at Gu Yihuai.

"Why did you bring my mother here? Don't you know that her health can't leave the hospital for too long?"

If there is one person in this world who is worthy of Gu Yanru's care and attention, that person is her mother.

Looking at the shock and disbelief on Gu Yan's face, Gu Yihuai felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

This woman finally realized her situation and that her fate was in his hands. This was exactly what he wanted, the sense of power he had always pursued. And his first wife became his most powerful tool, able to manipulate Gu Yan's emotions and actions.

“Haha, what do you think? Are you surprised? That’s just who I am.”

Gu Yihuai smiled smugly, with a cunning glint in his eyes. He knew that Gu Yan was now completely under his control and she could not escape his grasp.

Gu Yan's eyes widened, her lips trembling slightly. She tried to find a trace of humanity in Gu Yihuai's face, but she only saw indifference and ruthlessness. Her heart gradually sank, as if she was being suffocated by an invisible force.

"You...how could you treat her like this? At least you were once husband and wife! Now you have become so cruel just to restrain me?" Gu Yan's voice was filled with despair and anger. She didn't understand why Gu Yihuai had become so cruel.

Gu Yihuai sneered: "Husband and wife? That's just a thing of the past. In my world, only interests and power are the most important. Your mother is just a pawn I use, and of course you are the same!"

Gu Yan's face turned pale as paper, and her body began to tremble. She finally understood that the man before her was a cold-blooded demon. She didn't know how to face this reality, nor did she know what kind of torture awaited her in the future.

"It seems the severity of the situation is beyond my imagination. Just tell me what you want me to do. As long as you don't hurt my mother, I'm willing to do it."

At this point, Gu Yan had no other choice but to surrender, or rather, she didn't want her mother to be in any danger. If possible, she was willing to do anything for her mother.

Gu Yihuai has always known Gu Yan's temperament. Now she has been forced into a desperate situation by him. If he continues to force her, there is no guarantee that she will not go crazy.

"Don't be nervous. I'm not asking you to do anything unscrupulous. Your mother just came to Yancheng today. I think as her daughter, you should do your best to stay with her. As for what's going on between us, it won't be too late to talk about it in two days." Although his tone was calm, the light in his eyes could not be ignored.

Gu Yan looked at him, secretly relieved, but also felt a little guilty. She knew she couldn't escape any longer and had to face reality.

"Okay, I will take good care of my mother." Gu Yan said softly, with a determined light in her eyes.

He nodded, seeming to be satisfied with her answer. Then he turned and left, leaving Gu Yan standing there alone, feeling complicated.

Gu Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She knew that Gu Yihuai would never let her go so easily. She didn't know what his purpose was, but no matter what, if he dared to hurt her mother, Gu Yan would never let him go.

She decided to let go of everything in the past and accompany her mother wholeheartedly. This was not only filial piety to her mother, but also a kind of redemption for her own heart.

In the days that followed, Gu Yan spent a warm time with her mother, shopping, dining, and chatting. She noticed her mother's smile grew more frequent, and her health gradually returned. She, too, rediscovered the joy and meaning of life during this time.

However, when she thought everything was over, fate dealt her another blow. One night, when she returned home, she found a familiar car parked at the door. Her heart sank suddenly, realizing that the man was back again.

Gu Yihuai had been gone for five days. He had agreed to look for her the next day, but not knowing what had happened in Qingcheng, he hurried back.

And now he suddenly came back, his eyes full of fatigue.

That feeling was like the calmness and depth that had been baptized by time, as if it contained endless stories and experiences. Although Gu Yan's heart was full of resentment towards her father, the blood connection between father and daughter could not be easily severed.

Even though she tried to suppress her emotions, whenever she saw her father, she couldn't help but feel concerned.

This contradictory mood made her feel painful and entangled, but it also made her realize that the power of family affection is so strong that even if the hatred is deep, it is difficult to completely erase the care.

"What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

After hearing Gu Yan's words, the confusion in Gu Yihuai's eyes gradually dissipated, and he regained some clarity, but still had a hint of madness. He stared at Gu Yan intently, and said in a low and threatening voice, "I give up. I will let you and your mother go, but you must tell He Li to release Gu An. If he dares to touch my son, I will kill you and your mother!" His tone revealed a determination and ruthlessness, as if he was ready to fight to the death.

If Gu Yan was still worried about her incompetent father in the previous second, then at this moment she just wanted to slap herself a few times.

"Calm down first. You have to tell me the whole story, otherwise how can I help you solve it?"

After so many years of life experience, Gu Yan's heart had long been hardened, like a piece of iron that had been tempered into steel, and no matter how hard it was, it would not be easily shaken. Therefore, even though Gu Yihuai was holding her arm tightly, she was still able to remain calm and continued to ask questions, as if she could not feel any pain at all.

But her mother, who had always been by her side, suddenly went crazy after seeing Gu Yihuai treating Gu Yan like this.

"Let her go, let my daughter go, what are you doing!"

The expression on her face was terrifying, her eyes widening to the point of popping out of their sockets, the bloodshot visible in her eyeballs, like an enraged beast, ready to pounce at any moment. This piercing look sent shivers down Gu Yan and Gu Yihuai's spines. They had never seen such a ferocious gaze before, even more terrifying than those they had encountered before. At that moment, she was like a she-wolf protecting her cubs, preventing them from any harm, emanating a chilling aura.
