Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

"Long time no see, Yichen."

Upon hearing that voice, my heart sank. I knew that voice all too well; it was Du Yue!

How come she is here?

Does she already know about our plan?

Gu Yichen's face instantly turned ashen. He pulled me behind him protectively and looked coldly at Du Yue, "What are you doing here?"

Ignoring Gu Yichen's hostility, Du Yue walked straight to the coffee table, sat down gracefully, gently brushed a stray hair behind her ear, and slowly said, "Yichen, I'm here to help you. For so many years, I've lived in regret..."

"Enough!" Gu Yichen interrupted her sharply.

What right do you have to ask for 'help'? When you abandoned me and Yichen back then, did you ever imagine things would turn out this way?

Du Yue's face paled, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Yi Chen, let me explain. Back then..."

"I don't need your explanation!" Gu Yichen turned his face away, unwilling to look at her again.

I noticed his emotional fluctuations, so I gently held his hand, trying to give him some strength.

At this moment, Du Yue suddenly took out a photo from her bag and handed it to Gu Yichen with trembling hands, "Yichen, look, this is your father..."

Gu Yichen suddenly looked up and snatched the photo. The photo showed a gentle and beautiful woman nestled beside a refined man, both of them beaming with happiness.

"This is...my mother?"

Gu Yichen's voice trembled slightly.

Du Yue burst into tears, "No, she's not. She's your biological mother. Back then, I..."

My heart skipped a beat. It turned out that this unexpected person was Gu Yichen's mother!

Du Yue wiped away her tears and continued, "Back then, your father's company faced a crisis, and it was your uncle who sabotaged things behind the scenes. He was willing to do anything to get the company, even..."

Du Yue took a deep breath, as if to calm herself down, "He even killed your father and kicked me out of the Gu family..."

"What did you say?!"

Gu Yichen suddenly stood up, looking at Du Yue in disbelief. "You're saying my father... was killed by my uncle?"

Du Yue nodded and took a document out of her bag. "This is evidence left by your father. I've kept it all this time, waiting for the day I can get justice for you..."

Looking at the haggard woman in front of me, I felt a mix of emotions.

It's hard to imagine what secrets and pain she has carried all these years, living alone.

Gu Yichen gripped the document tightly, his knuckles turning white. I could feel his anger and sorrow.

After a long while, he finally found his voice, "Mom, you've suffered so much all these years."

This was the first time he had called her "Mom," a simple title that contained so many complex emotions.

Du Yue could no longer hold back and threw herself into Gu Yichen's arms, bursting into tears. I stood quietly to the side, watching the mother and son reunite, a sense of relief rising in my heart.

"Yichen, what should we do now?"

I grasped Gu Yichen's hand and asked softly. He took a deep breath, his eyes resolute, "Uncle's crimes can no longer be hidden. I will make him pay the price, and I will restore the Gu family to its former peace."

Together with Du Yue, we developed a detailed plan.

Over the years, Du Yue has been secretly collecting evidence of Gu Yichen's uncle's crimes, evidence that is enough to ruin his reputation.

As for me, I used my professional knowledge to help Gu Yichen analyze the situation and formulate a response strategy.

Finally, the opportunity has arrived. The annual Gu family banquet is about to be held, and this will be the best time for us to reveal the truth.

On the day of the banquet, Uncle Gu Yichen was in high spirits and completely unaware of the impending danger.

I sat in the corner, observing his every move, my heart pounding nervously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to announce something."

Gu Yichen's voice suddenly rang out, and the banquet hall instantly fell silent.

He slowly walked to the center of the hall, his gaze firm and sharp. "Today, I will reveal a truth that has been hidden for many years: the cause of my father's death, and the true owner of the Gu Group..."

He took out documents from the folder, each one a shocking piece of evidence.

His uncle's face grew increasingly grim, a flicker of panic crossing his eyes, yet he maintained his composure, pointing at us and shouting, "Nonsense! You're spouting lies!"

The banquet hall erupted in an uproar as guests whispered and discussed amongst themselves.

I knew this was a crucial moment, and I had to stand up for Gu Yichen. I walked to his side, took his hand, and gave him a firm look.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can be your witness!"

An old yet loud voice rang out.

I looked up in surprise and saw a familiar figure slowly walking towards me. It was... Gu Yichen's father!

He had been kept in the dark all these years, deceived by Gu Yichen's uncle. Now that he knew the truth, his face was filled with shock and guilt.

“Yichen, it’s your father who is sorry. Your father trusted your uncle and gave him the opportunity to hurt you and your mother.”

He walked up to Gu Yichen, tears streaming down his face, and said, "I'm severing all ties with him now. From now on, you'll be in charge of the Gu family!"

I saw a flicker of emotion in Gu Yichen's eyes. He gripped his father's hand tightly and nodded.

This family gathering ended in defeat for Uncle Gu Yichen. He was taken away by the police and will face legal consequences.

Dr. Li also played a crucial role in this battle.

He was not only highly skilled in medicine, but also resourceful. He used his medical knowledge to help Lu Mingxuan and Gu Yichen break free from drug control and regain their health.

"Great! We can finally fight side by side!"

Lu Mingxuan said excitedly, his eyes sparkling with hope.

Although Gu Yichen was still very weak, his eyes were unusually firm. I knew that deep down, he also longed to do his part for his mother, his brother, and his family.

Looking at my comrades-in-arms, my heart is filled with hope.

I believe that we can overcome all difficulties and usher in our own bright future!

With the dust settled, the once arrogant Uncle Gu is now a prisoner, and those who used to obey him have all switched sides and pledged their loyalty to Gu Yichen.

Looking at the earth-shaking changes before my eyes, I felt a mix of emotions.

"Yanyan, thank you."

Gu Yichen held my hand, his eyes filled with gratitude and tenderness, "Without you, I might..."

I shook my head, interrupting him: "Silly boy, why are you saying these things? We're lovers."

Gu Yichen's mother also came over. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to have smoothed out as she looked at us kindly: "Yichen, Yan Yan, you've suffered so much these past years."

"Mom..." Gu Yichen choked up, unable to say anything more.

As I watched the mother and son embracing, a warm feeling welled up inside me.

After going through so much hardship, the family can finally be reunited.

However, at that moment, Gu Yichen's mother suddenly released him, then turned to face us and bowed deeply.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Gu Yichen quickly helped his mother up.

"Yichen, Yanyan, I have a favor to ask..."

She raised her head, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "I hope you can promise me that you will leave the Gu family and never come back."
