Chapter 408 Li Huaijin's Mother Commits Suicide
Gu Youran and Li Huaijin had enjoyed a few good days, but today things don't seem to be so good.
Li Heng called Li Huaijin and told him that Guo Yue had committed suicide at home.
After all, she was his own mother, and he couldn't just ignore her. Li Huaijin arrived at the hospital with a look of impatience.
I saw Guo Yue lying on the hospital bed, but her face was rosy and she didn't look like she had committed suicide at all.
Li Heng's expression was also very unpleasant, as if he was angry, but no one knew what he was angry about.
"Didn't you say you were going to commit suicide? Why is your face so rosy?"
Li Huaijin's nonchalant demeanor pierced Guo Yue's heart, but she still couldn't wake up.
"Then you'll have to ask your mother what she's doing at her age." Li Heng wasn't exactly patient either.
She was even quite angry. After glancing at Li Huaijin, she sat down directly and snorted coldly, "You can tell me when your mother wakes up. I don't want to get involved."
If it weren't for the old man's insistence that he stay here, he probably would have left long ago.
Wouldn't it be better to have some tea, play some chess, or go for a walk?
Why must you stay with this woman?
Li Huaijin remained outwardly cold, not even sparing Guo Yue a glance: "Since you're alright and still unconscious, let me know when you wake up. I have other things to do and don't have time."
He was ready to leave as soon as he arrived, seemingly not wanting to waste any more time talking to them.
Li Heng didn't have any objections. This son wasn't close to him to begin with, and he didn't care whether his son left or stayed.
"Whatever, I'll leave once your mother wakes up anyway." Li Heng suddenly said earnestly, "Huaijin, if you have a choice, it's better to choose the woman you love."
He was too obedient his whole life, which is why he couldn't marry the girl he loved.
He dared not disobey the old man's orders and was always obsequious to Guo Yue; that was how he would live his life.
Perhaps the bravest thing he ever did in his life was stepping down from the Li family.
Li Huaijin didn't understand why he said that, as if he had suffered a great injustice: "What kind of insight is this?"
"You've been married to Mrs. Li for 30 years, and only now are you starting to regret it?"
Li Heng: "I..."
Never mind, some things are hard to explain, so I'll leave it at that.
"If you're going to leave, you should leave now. Your mother might wake up in a little while."
Li Huaijin's expression was somewhat complicated, but mostly indifferent.
"Um."
But just as he decided to turn and leave, Guo Yue woke up immediately, her eyes filled with hatred as she accused the father and son in front of her.
She looked at Li Heng with despair, her questioning tone anything but that of someone who was hurt: "Li Heng, do you hate me that much that you would say such things in front of our son? After all these years, you still don't like me, and now you're trying to incite my son!"
"I, Guo Yue, will never let you go in this lifetime, and you shouldn't even think about leaving me, and Li Huaijin too..." Guo Yue's expression was very serious, and the look in her eyes as she looked at her prey made her seem even more disgusted: "Li Huaijin, I'll say it again, if you dare to be with Gu Youran, then I'll die."
She just hated Gu Youran, for no reason at all.
Li Huaijin looked at him expressionlessly: "What do you want to do?"
He scoffed coldly, "You don't think I really care whether you live or die?"
Guo Yue was clearly immersed in her own world, only wanting to hear what she wanted to hear: "If you didn't care whether I lived or died, why would you come to see me and stay here watching over me?"
"Huaijin, I'm your mother. I wouldn't hurt you. Leave Gu Youran. I'm doing this for your own good!"
Why is it that no one can understand her good intentions?
Li Huaijin hates hearing the phrase "for your own good" the most; it's disgusting, a physiological aversion to it.
"What's the point of all this talk?" he scoffed coldly. "Besides saying it's for my own good, what else can you say? Do I have to do things your way to succeed?"
"Ms. Guo Yue, I'm still the most successful even though I didn't follow your path. Does that have anything to do with you?"
Li Huaijin's face was cold, and his icy eyes were as cold as ruthlessness.
"You don't need to do these things to get anyone's attention. I don't care, and neither does your husband. Have you forgotten?"
"you...."
Guo Yue was speechless after being rebuked, and could only glare angrily at Li Huaijin: "What gives you the right to say that!"
“Li Huaijin, if it weren’t for you, I would have died together with your father long ago. Why can’t you see my good intentions?”
This is so disappointing. My son must have been bewitched by Gu Youran.
Otherwise, her son wouldn't talk to her like that.
They used to be able to maintain a semblance of peace, but now... things have completely broken down.
"I don't want to hear these comments anymore. I can tell you clearly that if I can't marry Gu Youran in this life, I'd rather never marry a wife. I mean what I say."
Li Huaijin didn't want to waste words with her. He thought she was unwilling to hand over her shares, but he didn't expect... it was just a show.
"You...son, I'm begging you." Guo Yue suddenly jumped off the bed and grabbed Li Huaijin's arm.
"Gu Youran is really not right for you. Anyone but Gu Youran is fine. I'm begging you. Whether it's a rich heiress or an ordinary woman, I can accept it, but please don't choose Gu Youran."
Guo Yue simply disliked Gu Youran. Looking at Gu Youran's fearless expression, she felt a sense of dread. She always felt that Gu Youran was not a simple woman and was not suitable for Li Huaijin at all.
Most importantly, Gu Youran was the first junior to contradict her. She wanted to enter the Li family, yet she didn't know how to respect her mother-in-law. Keeping such a daughter-in-law around would only bring trouble.
I absolutely forbid my son from marrying a woman like that.
Li Huaijin was not threatened at all, and remained unmoved: "Unless I die, I will never let go of Gu Youran's hand. You can forget about it."
Ring ring—
His phone rang; it was Gu Youran's special ringtone.
"Have you gone to see your aunt? How is she? Is she alright?"
Upon hearing Gu Youran's voice, Li Huaijin seemed to calm down completely. His restless heart was instantly soothed, and all the gloom in his heart was cleared away.
"Yes, she's fine. She's laughing, talking, jumping around."
"Xiao Youran, don't worry, she's fine and there's nothing for you to worry about."
"I'll be back in a bit, don't worry, she can't eat me."
Li Huaijin hung up the phone and sneered, "This is the difference between people. You've repeatedly caused trouble for You Ran, but she still cares about you, instead of you talking badly about her here."
Guo Yue scoffed, she simply didn't believe Gu Youran would be so kind.
“Ms. Guo Yue, if you cause any more trouble, I don’t mind taking action against your family. I think Grandma wouldn’t want to see you going against me.”
Guo Yue looked up in disbelief. The person in front of her was clearly her son, so why... was he threatening her just now?
She started going crazy, screaming hysterically, her voice echoing throughout the entire hallway!
"Why are you treating me like this? Why won't you listen to me!"
"Aaaaaah, I'm your mother! You have to break up with that bitch Gu Youran! How dare she embarrass me like that? How dare she not listen to me!"
"You have to break up with me. If you don't, I..." Guo Yue rushed to the bedside table in a frenzy, holding a fruit knife to her neck: "Then I'll kill myself!"
