Chapter 409 Threatening Suicide
Li Huaijin frowned, looking at Guo Yue with great displeasure.
He knew that if the previous suicide attempt was fake, then... at this moment, the woman in front of him was very likely to be serious.
But he felt neither heartache nor fear; he just felt helpless and speechless.
Li Heng, disregarding all decorum, cursed, "If you want to die, go somewhere far away! What are you doing acting crazy in the hospital? Let me tell you, Guo Yue, no one will tolerate you forever."
"I don't care!" Guo Yue roared hysterically, "Li Heng, from now on you are not allowed to go out anymore. You must stay at home and stay with me!"
She then turned her gaze to Li Huaijin: "And you, you must break up with Gu Youran. If you don't, I'll commit suicide right now, leaving a life between you and her. Let's see how you two get married then!"
Li Huaijin's eyes grew even colder, his tone devoid of any warmth: "I don't believe you really dare to die."
However... Guo Yue had lost her former elegance and poise, and had no trace of the demeanor of a wealthy lady.
With a forceful movement, the fruit knife left a trail of blood on her neck, showing that she was determined to die.
Her outburst drew the attention of everyone in the same ward, who came out to watch the spectacle.
[Isn't this Mrs. Li? Mr. Li and President Li are both here. What happened?]
Can't you see this commotion? They're just trying to commit suicide, aren't they?
[Oh dear, I've been listening for a while now. It seems Mr. Li has fallen for someone he shouldn't, and Mrs. Li is threatening suicide to force him to accept it.]
[What's there to be upset about? Children and grandchildren have their own lives to live. Just be with whoever you like. You're going to spend your future with your wife, not your parents, so you have to choose, right?]
I disagree with your point of view. Finding a wife for our son naturally requires finding someone of equal social standing; not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter the Li family.
Guo Yue felt even more smug when she saw that someone supported her point of view.
It seems her method is effective.
If we can make this a big deal out of it, the effect might be even better.
"Then you try it. If you don't break up with Gu Youran right now, I'll kill myself. Let's see if I can do it!"
Li Huaijin remained unmoved.
"Ms. Guo Yue, what exactly do you want? Why don't I just give you back your life, and then you can control it however you want?"
He was genuinely tired.
He could hate Guo Yue, and he could cut all ties with the person in front of him, but he couldn't bring himself to lay a hand on Guo Yue.
Regardless, this person had given him his life, and for that reason alone, his upbringing wouldn't allow him to lay a hand on him.
"Why would I want your life? You're my son, I won't hurt you. Just break up with her, and you can be with whoever you want in the future."
She no longer demands a marriage between equals; she just wants her son to break up with Gu Youran.
Li Heng, standing to the side, also asked in bewilderment, "Why can everyone else do it, but Gu Youran can't?"
Guo Yue snorted venomously, "Who told her to disobey me? I told her to break up with Huai Jin, and she actually embarrassed me in front of everyone and made things difficult for me time and time again. How could I allow someone like that to marry into the Li family?"
Li Heng was speechless for a moment, and simply uttered two words: "You're sick."
[Mr. Li, why don't you just agree to Madam's request? She's just a woman; you can easily replace her.]
[Exactly. You can break up with this woman and find another, but you only have one mother.]
Didn't you see your mother's neck is bleeding? How can you not feel sorry for her?!
Li Huaijin narrowed his eyes sharply and turned around, his gaze filled with anger: "Since when did it become your place to interfere in my affairs?"
His shout silenced everyone.
Guo Yue, however, contradicted Li Huaijin, angrily questioning, "Are they wrong? She's just a woman. If you break up, you break up. Why are you so concerned?"
She was devastated and desperate; she really had no other way out.
Seeing how good the relationship was between Li Huaijin and Gu Youran, she really had no other choice but to use this method.
Public opinion can also suppress the two of them.
"Since anyone is fine, why do you care who the woman in Dad's heart is? Why don't you let go?" Li Huaijin deliberately hit a nerve, his cold face now radiating a sinister rage.
"What...what did you say?" Guo Yue was speechless when questioned, but then retorted confidently, "I'm your mother. Is it too much for me to ask your father to only have me in his heart?"
"You know to marry the man you love, so what's wrong with me marrying the woman I love?"
Is there something wrong with it?
“Ms. Guo Yue, I don’t want to dwell on the past. I don’t care about what you did to me, even risking my life for attention. I just hope you will stop interfering in my affairs.”
Li Huaijin stood there calmly, motionless: "My choice, whether good or bad, is my choice. I don't want you to interfere, understand?"
"You..." Guo Yue looked at Li Huaijin's lifeless appearance and felt a pang of sadness, but her heart remained hardened: "I don't care, I'm your mother, and you have to listen to me!"
Since he couldn't reason with him, Li Huaijin stopped dwelling on it and simply found a stool to sit down.
"Then do as you please, do whatever you want." Li Huaijin said calmly, "Anyway, this is a hospital. Even if you cut me once, I can get you into the emergency room within two minutes. You won't die, but you'll definitely suffer."
He seemed completely indifferent, and all attempts at persuasion vanished.
Seeing that he was not threatened, Guo Yue was at a loss and the fruit knife pressed against his neck loosened slightly.
Li Huaijin quickly stood up and snatched the fruit knife away.
It was thrown to the ground with a thud.
"At your age, can you please stop acting like this? I'm 30, not 3. I'm not someone you can just beat, scold, or use."
"I...."
She was wrong back then, she really knows she was wrong!
But why won't her son forgive her?
It's all Li Heng's fault. If he had cared about her and this family back then, he wouldn't have resorted to such despicable means.
Before Li Huaijin was five or six years old, every time he was sick, he spent time in cold water; to be precise, he got sick because he soaked in cold water.
Only in this way, only when he is sick or injured, will Li Heng be willing to go home.
But she knew in her heart that Li Heng was not with the white moonlight in his heart, but was living alone outside. He simply did not want to go home.
He would only allow Li Huaijin to return home once if Li Huaijin's life was threatened.
I never expected that my son would still remember this after all these years.
When he gets older, illness won't work anymore; she'll have to punish and discipline him through his studies. Only if he gets straight A's will she have a reason to call Li Heng home.
Later, she became increasingly restrictive, even refusing to let Li Huaijin keep a dog.
Perhaps it was because of that dog that the gap between them widened. Li Huaijin never tried to please her again, and his grades plummeted. With the old man protecting him, she couldn't hit him anymore.
So many years passed peacefully like this, and she always believed that time heals all wounds. Li Huaijin should have forgotten long ago... but unexpectedly...
"It seems that Madam Li has remembered what she did back then?"
