Chapter 364 Five Hundred Million, Leave My Son

Gu Youran didn't wait for Li Huaijin to return, but instead received a phone call from an unfamiliar number.

Who is it?

"See me?"

"Okay, see you at the coffee shop then."

She hung up the phone, feeling quite melancholy. She couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that what was meant to be would be, and what was meant to be would be.

What's meant to happen will happen.

Gu Youran couldn't help but call Li Huaijin again: "Where are you?"

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."

It seems I have no choice but to face it myself. Anyway, I'll have to face it sooner or later, so there's no point in dwelling on it.

Li Huaijin has work to do, so let him be.

Around 8 p.m., Gu Youran arrived at the agreed location, where Guo Yue was already waiting, seemingly eager to try.

However, her gaze wasn't fixed on the doorway, but rather on the other side. Gu Youran followed her gaze and naturally saw something she shouldn't have seen.

Li Huaijin?

Didn't he say he was working overtime?

Why are you here?

Who is the girl sitting across from me?

Or... does his so-called "something to do" tonight mean he's here to meet another girl?

The thought of this possibility made Gu Youran's expression turn sour.

She walked over and sat down opposite Guo Yue with a blank expression, getting straight to the point: "What brings Madam Li here?"

Was it all just so she could see these things?

See how Li Huaijin interacts with other girls, and how he betrays her.

But they hadn't even officially confirmed a romantic relationship, so that... couldn't constitute betrayal in her eyes.

Gu Youran's hand, hanging under the table, clenched tightly. She appeared nonchalant, but only she knew how much pain she was in.

However, she remained calm. If Li Huaijin really lied to her, then she would accept it. As long as he admitted it himself, everything would be over, and she would keep her distance from him.

If this was just a blind date arranged by his parents and not of his own volition, she could understand.

Guo Yue looked at Gu Youran with disdain, her gaze only sweeping over her for a moment before she spoke sarcastically: "Miss Gu, do you see? My son should be matched with a lady from a prestigious family like this, not a vulgar woman like you."

Gu Youran chuckled and nodded as if in agreement: "I think Madam Li is right, so what?"

Guo Yue frowned. She hadn't expected this woman to be so difficult to deal with. Even after seeing her son with another woman, she could still remain so calm and composed.

That means... Gu Youran wasn't after Li Huaijin as a person, but rather the Li family's money.

She'd seen plenty of women like that.

As expected, Gu Youran's feelings for her son were not genuine.

Guo Yue gave a haughty snort: "Since you know you're not good enough for my son, then you should obediently break up with him, and I'll give you a breakup fee."

Li Huaijin's feelings for her were only temporary. Once he realized that the young lady from the aristocratic family shared his thoughts, he would stop thinking about Gu Youran.

As a mother, she had to make plans for her son.

"How much is Madam Li going to give?" Gu Youran's heart was bleeding, but she still pretended to be indifferent on the surface.

He's just a man; there's no need for her to act like she's dying.

"President Li's net worth is extraordinary. I won't be happy if you give too little."

Guo Yue gave a displeased snort, her gaze towards Gu Youran becoming even more contemptuous: "I knew you were a vain woman. If you're willing to leave my son, I'll give you 50 million."

Gu Youran suddenly laughed: "Mrs. Li, I can earn 50 million too. I made 500 million from a project a while ago. You want me to leave a man for 50 million? Isn't that a bit too low a price?"

"Don't think I don't know how you earned that 500 million. My son and Lu Jingxiao gave you preferential treatment, and you really think you're something special." Guo Yue was still somewhat agitated.

This woman is truly insatiable!

"So what? I put in the work, and they paid me for it. Shouldn't they?"

Even if she wanted to express her gratitude, it should be to Weiwei, not the two men.

Li Huaijin is a fool with too much money; he joined halfway through. What does that have to do with her?

"You...how much do you want?"

"Then you have to consider how much your son is worth, or to put it another way, how much do you think your son is worth in your heart?"

Guo Yue slammed her fist on the table in anger!

Her son is naturally the most important person in her heart; he is her priceless treasure. But that doesn't mean she can afford to pay that much money.

After a moment's hesitation, she made one last offer: "I'll give you 500 million, you leave my son!"

She was even afraid that Gu Youran would change her mind, so she took out a blank check from her bag, filled in the amount, and pushed the check in front of Gu Youran.

"With this 500 million, plus the assets you have, you can start another company elsewhere and make a comeback without any problem."

Guo Yue's words were full of threat: "But if you stay in Beijing, I don't know if your company can continue to operate."

What's the meaning?

Madam Li intends to take action against her company.

Hmph, why should I?

Gu Youran waved the check in her hand, looking at the zeros on it. To be honest, it was indeed tempting.

If it were an ordinary person, anyone with a sound mind would choose 500 million, but since she has 500 million, the money doesn't seem so tempting anymore.

"Madam Li, don't worry. Now that I've taken your money, I will definitely leave your son. But before that... you probably can't control what I do."

Under Guo Yue's watchful gaze, Gu Youran walked directly toward Li Huaijin.

She's furious and doesn't want to hear any explanations from anyone.

She didn't want to waste her time on so-called feelings.

Gu Youran really disliked this feeling.

**

Li Huaijin soon saw Gu Youran walking towards him. His expression changed, and he hurriedly stood up and walked towards Gu Youran.

"You Ran, what are you doing here?"

Gu Youran sneered: "What, am I not allowed to be here, or is my presence disturbing your date with this lady?"

Li Huaijin suddenly looked up and saw Guo Yue. He frowned. At that moment, he realized that this so-called biological mother was plotting against him again.

No wonder she agreed so readily to date Gu Youran and didn't cause trouble for her; it turns out that everything was waiting for him here.

He quickly looked down at Gu Youran and explained urgently, "Youran, it's not what you think. I just... I was also tricked."

Gu Youran simply didn't believe it. Didn't she know what kind of person Li Huaijin was?

If it weren't for his own free will, no one could have forced him. In the end, his presence here today is entirely of his own volition.

Since their hearts aren't with her, why should they waste their time?

“Li Huaijin, your mother just gave me 500 million yuan to leave you, and I accepted it.”

Gu Youran patted the check on his chest: "But I, Gu Youran, am not short of this money. Consider this money as my wedding gift to you and this young lady. Please keep it."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Li Huaijin wanted to leave, but Guo Yue stopped him: "Where are you going? Are you going to leave Miss Lin here alone?"

"Let me tell you, Li Huaijin, I'm here today to make you sever all ties with her completely. The Li family will never allow her to enter our home!"
