“If my baby is born with a father who is in prison, he will definitely be looked down upon. As his grandmother, how could I bear to let him suffer like that?”
Wang Yulian spoke sweet words for a long time, finally striking a chord with Shen Ling.
She did hate Gu Yuchuan and Tong Xinyue to death, but she didn't want this to affect the baby in her womb.
After all, she has almost no chance of turning things around now. If she wants to trample Shen Zhihuan underfoot, her biggest bargaining chip is the child in her belly.
Seeing that Shen Ling's expression was slightly wavering, Gu Yuchuan quickly seized the opportunity and went up to her to say some nice things.
“Ling’er, I was bewitched before, seduced by wild women outside and lost my mind. Now I know I was wrong.”
"As long as you give me a chance to repent, I will definitely be devoted to you and the baby in your belly from now on."
Gu Yuchuan is good-looking, and his affectionate act is quite deceptive.
When Shen Ling saw his face, she was momentarily shaken.
"What about Tong Xinyue and that bastard? How do you plan to deal with them?"
“They destroyed my family. I hate them so much that I don’t care whether they live or die.”
Gu Yuchuan snorted coldly, ignoring Tong Xinyue and Lele's crying and wailing, showing no mercy. He was truly ruthless.
Shen Ling was overjoyed to be protected like this for the first time, and she was so happy she could hardly contain herself.
"Since Mom and Yuchuan have both expressed their opinions, I can give you face."
Shen Ling adopted the demeanor of a first wife.
"I can forgive you for now, but I will never let Tong Xinyue, that bitch who destroyed my family, off lightly!"
"Make Tong Xinyue come over here, kneel down, and kowtow to me. That'll be the end of it. But if she dares to show her face in front of me again, I'll beat her to death!"
Hearing this, Tong Xinyue felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
How could this be? She clearly gave birth to a son for Gu Yuchuan, making a great contribution that brought honor to her ancestors.
It's one thing for the Gu family not to be grateful to her, but they actually dared to treat her like this.
"You...you are nothing but a bunch of animals..."
Wang Yulian's scalp tightened, fearing that Shen Ling would be unhappy to hear Tong Xinyue cursing. She quickly picked up the feather duster that was placed aside and handed it to Gu Yuchuan.
"What are you waiting for? Ling'er is watching from the side. Hurry up and say something."
Gu Yuchuan nodded, took the feather duster, and actually gave Tong Xinyue a good beating.
Not long ago, they were lovers snuggling together and pouring out their hearts to each other, but now they've turned on each other, and there's not a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
Gu Yuchuan was capable of having an affair with Tong Xinyue without any matchmaker, so he's not a good person to begin with.
In his mind, a woman was far less important than his future.
Unfortunately, all that Tong Xinyue had put in over the years was wasted due to Gu Yuchuan's cold indifference.
Her dream of marrying into the Gu family and enjoying wealth and luxury was shattered in an instant.
The thought that she had gone through so much trouble and gained nothing, but instead ruined her reputation, made Tong Xinyue burst into tears.
"How could I have been so blind to fall for such a good-for-nothing like you..."
Gu Yuchuan remained unmoved, and when he heard Tong Xinyue scolding him, he even hit her harder.
Wang Yulian and Shen Ling watched expressionlessly from the side, while Lele, who had been ignored all along, suddenly burst into tears.
"You bad people, you're all bad people! Who told you to bully my mom!"
"It's all your fault, you ugly woman! If it weren't for you, Dad wouldn't have hit Mom, and you even stole my property! You bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
While cursing, Lele lunged at Shen Ling. If Gu Yuchuan hadn't caught him in time, Shen Ling's face would definitely be scratched to pieces by now.
Even after all this, Lele still wouldn't calm down, twisting her body frantically while continuing to yell that she wanted to kill Shen Ling.
Wang Yulian watched in horror. She usually didn't pay much attention to these things, and when she heard Lele shouting and screaming, she thought he was just feeling sorry for her.
But how could a little kid like him understand anything about property?
Without even thinking, it's obvious that Tong Xinyue taught him.
Wang Yulian and Gu Yuchuan were both trembling with anger. They had initially thought that Tong Xinyue was getting close to Gu Yuchuan because of feelings.
But now it seems that this despicable woman is actually after their family's money.
Wang Yulian was furious that her most outstanding son had been insulted like this. She grabbed Lele and started slapping him repeatedly across the face.
"Ling'er is our daughter-in-law. Who allowed you to insult her like that? Don't you feel sorry for your mother? If you dare to say such things again, I'll beat your mother too!"
She didn't stop hitting her until her hands were sore, then she threw Lele into Tong Xinyue's arms and said to her fiercely:
"If you don't want to die, you'd better discipline your son! And don't ever say he's a son of the Gu family when you go out. We can't afford to lose face like that!"
Shen Ling was originally watching the show from the sidelines, but upon hearing Wang Yulian's words, she suddenly realized that now was a good opportunity to drive away the enemy and pave the way for her son.
She quickly made her request:
"Tell Tong Xinyue to get out of here right now, and take her son with her and get out of my sight!"
"If Lele dares to bump into my unborn child today, she might kill me and my baby tomorrow. I can't keep such a bastard in my house!"
Tong Xinyue cried until her voice was hoarse, but upon hearing this, she hurriedly begged for mercy.
"You can hit me or scold me however you want. I know I did something wrong, and I will accept whatever you do to me."
"I just beg you to let Lele stay. I dare not tell my family that I gave birth to him, otherwise they will beat me to death!"
Wang Yulian sneered: "What does your life or death have to do with us?"
She never liked Lele, even though he was her own grandson; she only felt resentment towards the child.
In order not to affect Gu Yuchuan's career, they now have to rack their brains to please Shen Ling, so how could they possibly leave Lele behind and provoke her?
"Enough with the nonsense, take your sons and get out of my house, or we'll have to fight you!"
Tong Xinyue was heartbroken, but there was nothing she could do. Under the cover of night, she took Lele and left the Gu family.
She dared not go back to her own home, fearing that she would lose even her last place to stay, and could only wander around outside with her child.
The mother and son were both badly beaten, and they were shivering from the cold night wind, making them look particularly pitiful.
Just when they were at their wits' end and wished they could just kill themselves, a woman who looked somewhat familiar suddenly blocked their way.
