Once outside, Gu Jingchen slumped down and lit a cigarette, ignoring everything else.

During his youth, Gu Jingchen was rebellious and flamboyant. Before meeting Su Ning, he spent his days fighting and skipping school. After meeting Su Ning, he was determined to win her over and studied desperately. Su Ning was the only person in his eyes and heart.

The name "Ningning, Ningning" became his life's curse.

He smoked fiercely, one cigarette after another, reverting to the state he was in when Su Ning wasn't around.

After finishing his cigarette, he stubbed it out against the wall. In no time, smoke filled the air, and the wall and carpet were covered with cigarette stains.

The servants watched closely, afraid that Mr. Gu might accidentally set the house on fire.

However, the smoke is quite pungent at this time.

The doorbell rang. The maid glanced at Gu Jingchen, but Gu Jingchen didn't react and continued smoking.

Nothing could attract his attention except for Ningning.

"What happened?"

Mr. Gu's cold, stern voice came from behind, followed by footsteps.

The servants here had never seen Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu before. Upon seeing them, they were prepared to be driven away.

"I am his father!"

Mr. Gu raised his voice in annoyance. The maid turned to look at Gu Jingchen, who was smoking, and noticed that the father and son did look quite alike. She then made way for them. Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu had brought people with them.

As soon as Mr. Gu entered the door, he smelled a strong tobacco smell. He also smoked, but he never smoked like Gu Jingchen, making the whole house almost catch fire.

He strode towards the corridor, turned around and saw Gu Jingchen, a grown man, slumped on the ground smoking.

"Cough cough!"

Mr. Gu coughed repeatedly from the choking, not to mention his wife, Mrs. Gu, who couldn't stand it and stayed in the living room behind him.

"Look at him! What has he become because of a woman!"

The old woman spoke angrily, slamming her cane against the ground, her deep sorrow evident.

The Gu family members are all well-behaved, how could they have produced such a good-for-nothing son as Gu Jingchen!

"Gu Jingchen".

Mr. Gu walked up to Gu Jingchen. Through the smoke, his son looked up at him. The coldness in his eyes startled Mr. Gu, who suddenly thought of the person he had imprisoned to the brink of collapse four years ago.

Over the years, Gu Jingchen's ability to manage the Gu family business has been evident to all, and many outsiders envy him for having such a capable son!

He was also proud of Gu Jingchen!

However, there is one thing that I am absolutely unwilling to compromise on.

He thought that four years ago, he would have definitely agreed to Gu Jingchen and Su Ning's relationship.

Four years later, Su Ning lost the use of her legs and was unable to have children. Of course, he could not agree to have such a daughter-in-law.

Now, he suddenly remembered what Madam Gu had said: they would only back down if they drove their son to madness.

"What are you doing here!"

Gu Jingchen finished his cigarette, leaned against the wall to stand up. Perhaps because he had been sitting for too long, or because he hadn't slept for the past two days and nights, he felt dizzy after standing up. Mr. Gu hurriedly reached out to help him, but Gu Jingchen pushed him away with a cold smile.

As the smoke cleared, everything became clear, and Gu Jingchen stepped forward.

Without Su Ning, Yan Yugui felt his heart bleeding and aching with every step he took!

In the living room, Old Mrs. Gu sat on the sofa, waiting for Gu Jingchen to arrive. Hearing footsteps behind her, she spoke, "Su Ning is dead..."
