Volume 1 Chapter 104 Spy
Hearing Gu Chiye's answer, Lin Muyun stood up excitedly.
The only difference is that this time the target of her venting was her mother.
"Mom, I was filming abroad when Chi Ye got married. I rushed back home when I found out about this, but by the time I landed in Huacheng, it was already the day after the wedding.
At that time, you told me that the Gu family was in a troubled time. In order to ensure a smooth marriage, Brother Chi Ye's wedding was held in secret. Even you only found out about it at the last minute.
But why, he just said that he sent the wedding invitations a month in advance. "
Mother Lin looked embarrassed. She had never expected that the lie she had told several years ago would be suddenly exposed at this moment.
Seeing that his mother took a long time to answer, Lin Muyun was so anxious that he was about to cry, and asked again.
"Mom, tell me what happened back then!"
Seeing that she couldn't hide the truth any longer, Mother Lin sighed deeply, took Lin Muyun's hand and spoke earnestly.
"Mu Yun, look at you like this, how can I tell you the truth?
Mother has long seen that Chi Ye has no feelings for you, but you never listened and have been doing what you want for so many years.
If you knew that he was going to marry someone else, wouldn't you make a scene? Not only would it bring shame to the Gu and Lin families, but it would also most likely ruin Chi Ye's plans."
"But, isn't my life's most important thing unimportant? Mother, you know how desperate I am. I was so hopeless that I thought of marrying someone at random..."
Speaking of this, Lin Muyun burst into tears.
At this moment, her world collapsed.
Her mother, who had always loved her, did not stand firmly by her side at such an important moment.
If she hadn't learned by chance a few years later that Chi Ye's brother was about to get divorced, she would probably have lived with regret for the rest of her life.
But what Lin Muyun didn't know was that this was more than just one thing that Lin's mother was hiding.
It is true that Lin's mother and Gu Chiye's mother have been close friends for many years, but her real partner in secret over the years is the previous head of the Gu family, Gu Yuansen.
Back then, the Lin family was in trouble when she just got married. In order to marry her, her husband resolutely gave up the opportunity to marry with other rich ladies.
This also directly led to the decline of his career, and eventually he reached the point of being penniless and on the verge of bankruptcy.
Although Lin's mother came from a scholarly family, her parents were only slightly famous intellectuals.
Neither her background nor her financial resources could help her husband's career, so Lin's mother could only stay at home and worry all day.
At this time, Gu Yuansen found her and asked her to provide information about Shen Qian.
In order to help her husband overcome the difficulties, Lin's mother had to become a spy.
Gu Yuansen was quite considerate. After getting the required information, he took action immediately and helped the Lin family solve their urgent problem, thus avoiding bankruptcy and liquidation.
At the same time, Lin's mother discovered that Shen Qian was investigating some of Gu's family businesses.
Due to various considerations, she did not tell her best friend Lin's mother about it. She only mentioned that the matter was very serious and it was enough for her to take the risk alone.
Lin's mother was doubtful, but she still had a trace of conscience at the time, so she did not report the matter to the Gu family.
At that time, Gu Yuansen seemed to realize something.
One day, he invited Lin's mother and her husband to visit Gu's house for a grand banquet.
Different from the small favors he had given before, this time Gu Yuansen made a big move and directly gave the Lin family an order worth several billion, and also said that if the cooperation went smoothly, the scale of the transaction could be expanded in the future.
Faced with this heaven-falling opportunity, the husband, who had been rejected countless times and thought he was going to ruin his family business with his own hands, burst into tears of joy and almost kowtowed to Gu Yuansen to express his gratitude.
After returning, he was even more proud and revitalized the Lin family with one move.
From then on, no one in the family dared to gossip about him behind his back, saying that he was selfish and gave up on the marriage.
However, after that meeting, Gu Yuansen asked someone to tell Lin's mother that he could restore the Lin family's glory, or make it worthless at any time.
Everything depends on how loyal Lin's mother is. I hope she will tell me everything she knows.
Lin's mother was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that Gu Yuansen must have known something from other channels.
Seeing her husband regaining his spirits and her naive and lovely daughter, Mother Lin gritted her teeth and had to choose to sacrifice her friendship with her best friends in order to preserve her hard-earned little home.
Afterwards, she reported every move of Shen Qian to Gu Yuansen, including the investigation that seemed very dangerous.
Not long after, Shen Qian was in a car accident and died, leaving behind her only son.
When Lin's mother heard the news, she was so frightened that she fainted on the spot. After waking up, she guessed that her best friend's death might be related to the thing she had informed on.
Fortunately, after Shen Qian's death, Gu Yuansen rarely took the initiative to contact her. Lin's mother was completely scared and did not dare to approach her again in recent years.
The business relationship between the two families gradually became distant, and the Lin family has declined significantly in recent years.
Lin's mother was in great pain, but she couldn't confide in anyone.
She could only take Gu Chiye in to take care of him and try to be nicer to him in daily life to ease the guilt in her heart.
But unexpectedly, during the days they spent together, his daughter actually fell in love with Gu Chiye.
After discovering this fact, Lin's mother was frightened again.
With Shen Qian's previous experience as a lesson, and the open and secret struggles between the father and son of the Gu family for so many years, there was no way Lin's mother would let her daughter get involved.
Fortunately, Gu Chiye didn't have too many feelings for Lin Muyun, but Lin Muyun was too enthusiastic about him.
Lin's mother didn't dare to stop him too much, and gradually reduced the frequency of asking Gu Chi to come to the Lin family at night.
When she heard that Gu Chiye was going to marry into the Zhu family, Lin's mother's first reaction was to hide it from her daughter. She also "kindly" reminded Gu Chiye to get married in a low-key manner to avoid complications.
But she didn't expect that after so many years, her daughter was still obsessed with him. When she saw that Gu Chiye wanted a divorce, she followed suit and asked for a divorce.
The fights between those families in Hwaseong have been so fierce recently. In order to avoid getting into trouble, Lin's mother had to go into battle herself and try her best to protect her love-minded daughter.
Sure enough, as soon as the show started, several parties involved started to dig up old accounts.
Zhu's mother's words and actions were too extreme, and it was not difficult to see that Gu Yuansen was responsible.
Thinking of Shen Qian’s unclear death, Lin’s mother was horrified again.
That's a man who can kill people when he gets angry!
In order to save her daughter's life, Lin's mother could only ignore Lin Muyun's crying and scold her cruelly.
"Mu Yun, look at you now, you still look like a lady from a wealthy family.
As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. I can understand that you are disgusted by He Yuan's infidelity and want a divorce.
But Chi Ye may not get a divorce now, and if you keep clinging to her, aren't you destroying the happiness of the young couple? "
These words from Lin's mother once again deeply hurt Lin Muyun's heart.
Is it possible that Gu Chiye's preference for Zhu Sheng has become known to everyone?
Even the mother, who had only been there for a while, could tell that the person Gu Chiye liked was Zhu Sheng.
After scolding her daughter, Lin's mother did not forget to apologize to Gu Chiye.
"Chi Ye, don't take it to heart. When I get back, I will definitely try to persuade Mu Yun to stop making trouble.
For the sake of our friendship over the years, please don't bother with her. Auntie also wishes you a happy marriage."
Seeing his mother's elbow bent outward, Lin Muyun couldn't bear it any longer.
At some point, everyone in this place stood against her.
Forget He Yao, now even her mother who loves her the most is no exception.
Lin Muyun felt extremely aggrieved. She just wanted to pursue the person she liked, so why did so many people want to stop her?
Looking at the room full of enemies, Lin Muyun angrily took off his headset and yelled at the whole audience.
"That's enough. I won't record it anymore!"
