Chapter 422 Gu Youran Retorts, Li Huaijin Protects Her
Madam Guo sat down arrogantly, but her heart was pounding. After all, she had only made a boast. Everyone knew, understood, and was aware of Li Huaijin's attitude towards the Guo family.
However, one must never lose face in front of outsiders, especially in front of this canary.
Her eyes were sharp, and she didn't take Gu Youran seriously.
"Gu Youran, you don't really think Li Huaijin is serious about you, do you? You're too naive."
Madam Guo gave a cold laugh, her eyes filled with sarcasm: "Even if I target you today, Li Huaijin won't dare to do anything to me, because no matter what, I am his grandmother, and he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me."
Gu Youran's smile didn't reach her eyes; a hint of frost appeared on her face.
Under Madam Guo's watchful gaze, she picked up her phone and held it to her ear: "Did you hear that?"
"wait for me."
Just two words were enough to make Old Madam Guo's heart tremble; that was terrifying.
When did Gu Youran call Li Huaijin?
Why didn't anyone tell her?
"You're despicable!" Old Madam Guo gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear Gu Youran to pieces.
She secretly called Li Huaijin, and he overheard everything she said. What should she do now?
What if Li Huaijin targets the Guo family again because of these words?
Gu Youran spread her hands innocently, looking like she was helpless: "If I remember correctly, I asked my assistant to tell you to wait outside, but you insisted on barging in, so you can't blame me for that."
"I was on the phone with Li Huaijin. Am I supposed to hang up on him because of your arrival?"
However, she has now hung up.
"You... Gu Youran, what exactly do you want?" If Li Huaijin makes a move, the Guo family will truly have no way out.
And the culprit behind all of this is Gu Youran.
How can a canary have so many human rights?
A canary should act like a canary, instead of expecting its owner to stand up for it. Gu Youran, you deserve to die!
"Shouldn't I be asking you what you want, Madam Guo? I have no business dealings with your family, not even any private interactions. What is it you want from me?"
Gu Youran remained calm: "If you're here because of Li Huaijin's targeting of the Guo family, you shouldn't be looking for me. You should go directly to Li Huaijin, and he will give you a reasonable explanation."
"Or if you find that too troublesome, then you can... just go and ask Li Huaijin directly."
Wouldn't that be more convenient?
Coming here to her will not only get you no answers, but you'll also get furious with her. It's simply not worth it, since she won't tolerate this old lady.
Madam Guo was surprised that Gu Youran was so stubborn and refused to listen to reason: "I gave you a way out, but you insisted on making Li Huaijin break with the Guo family. If Huaijin regrets it later, do you think you will still have a good life?"
Gu Youran's indifferent attitude angered Old Madam Guo. She had already done so much, so why was Gu Youran still unmoved?
What exactly does she want?
“Gu Youran, if it’s because Yue’er is targeting you, I can apologize to you on her behalf, but you can’t let Li Huaijin target the Guo family.”
The Guo family can't withstand this kind of turmoil. If Li Huaijin doesn't stop now, the Guo family may really face bankruptcy.
These powerful families are all bound together by their interests. If the Li family targets the Guo family, other families will definitely follow suit and keep up with Li Huaijin's lead. Once all partners withdraw their investments...
Then the Guo family... is truly finished.
In addition, the Guo family originally grew up with the help of the Li family. The Li family and the Guo family have always been closely linked, which is why they have been so successful over the years.
Li Huaijin's targeting of the Guo family is undoubtedly a message to everyone that the relationship between the two families has broken down.
The Guo family truly has no way out.
Compared to the life and death of the Guo family, getting Guo Yue to apologize is a piece of cake.
However, Gu Youran didn't care at all, and didn't even take it to heart: "Madam Guo, it's a bit too late for you to say these things now. I don't need anyone's apology."
She gave a cold snort: "If Madam Li truly wanted to apologize, she wouldn't have done those things that made Li Huaijin feel awkward."
She actually got lectured by a junior?
How could Madam Guo possibly accept this?
They were already feeling incredibly frustrated, and now they had to be humiliated like this by a junior.
This is an absolute disgrace!
"What do you mean?"
Gu Youran suddenly stood up and even walked to Madam Guo's side, her eyes cold and sharp: "Madam Guo, why pretend to be stupid? Don't you know what kind of twisted mentality your precious daughter has? Parents in a normal relationship all hope that their son is doing well and that he finds his own happiness. But Madam Li doesn't want Li Huaijin to be happy. Isn't that sick?"
"Of course, I'm not sure if I can bring happiness to Li Huaijin, but at least I can sense when he's unhappy. But Madam Li ignores Li Huaijin's requests, insists on her own way, and thinks she's doing what's best for him. In the end, she just wants to satisfy her own selfish desires and doesn't care about Li Huaijin's feelings at all."
She now finally understands why Li Huaijin cried, felt sorry for her, and went to great lengths to target her when her biological parents bullied her.
When she saw Li Huaijin being bullied by his mother, she felt sorry for him.
They all treated Li Huaijin as a tool. When he was young, he was a tool to win favor; when he grew up, he was a tool to make money. There was no love for him except for exploitation.
It turns out we're all so pitiful.
Having her thoughts exposed, Old Madam Guo's face was filled with guilt, and she dared not look up: "You...you mustn't be talking nonsense."
Nonsense, utter nonsense!
“Madam Guo, I really have nothing to say to you. Instead of coming to me, you should have a good talk with Li Huaijin.”
Gu Youran felt that she could no longer communicate with this person.
That's all nonsense.
Old Madam Guo slammed her hand on the table and stood up, angrily pointing at Gu Youran: "Don't go too far! I'm giving you a way out, so take it right now. Don't push your luck. No matter what, I'm still Li Huaijin's grandmother. He can't do anything to me!"
“But you… are different!” she continued, “If you break up with Li Huaijin in the future, do you think… will your life be any easier?”
Gu Youran was just about to retort when the office door was kicked open.
The person who came was none other than Li Huaijin.
He strode to Gu Youran's side, shielding her behind him without hesitation, and looked at Madam Guo with a serious expression: "Whether Youran is doing well or not is none of your concern, but your good days are indeed coming to an end!"
They actually dared to come to You Ran's place to threaten her and make harsh remarks. Well, we'll have to see if she's up to the task!
Madam Guo felt very guilty and stammered, "You...you...Li Huaijin...I'm your maternal grandmother!"
