Chapter 307 Making oblique accusations
“Nurse Liu, please prepare the dinner. It’s getting late. Yichen, I am a little worried about Xiangyan. You have to ask him back because he has been playing alone in the garden for a lone time. It’s getting cold outside. I’m afraid he’ll catch a cold.”
Li Yunhong gave the orders to the servant and Mo Yichen. Xiangyan was on his age to play, so she had to ask Mo Yichen to look after Xiangyan well.
“Aunt, I can go to find Xiangyan. Actually, I want to talk with him for a while.” The moment Gu Yan stood up, Li Yunhong pulled her down the sofa heavily at once. Gu Yan felt hurt and rubbed her arms softly. She pretended that nothing happened.
“Gu Yan, just let Yichen do that. It is the first time that you have been here, and I want to talk with you. Stay with me. Just let him go. He can do that, right?” Li Yunhong’s tone was soft, but only Gu Yan felt a little strange. But she could not figure out what happened and how to deal with it.
So, she gazed at Mo Yichen eagerly to ask for help, but Mo Yichen didn’t notice Gu Yan’s hopelessness. Mo Yichen just thought Gu Yan was a little afraid to be with Li Yunhong alone. So, he just cheered her on with a “fighting” look, which made Gu Yan feel more upset. She came to realize that only she knew that Li Yunhong was just pretending to be nice actually. Li Yunhong still disliked her, just like she used to be.
“What shall I do?” Gu Yan asked herself over and over again and tried hard to be calm and repress her emotions, in order to pander to the woman who pretended to be nice to her.
“Yan, I’ll be right back. You stay here with my mom.”
“Okay, don’t worry. We are fine, just go.” Bitterness and sadness were full of Gu Yan’s eyes. She just staring at the two-faced woman. Worry, fear, and other different kinds of emotions occurred in her heart, which made her be breathless.
Actually, Gu Yan didn’t want Mo Yichen to leave because he was the only one who could make her feel safe. Gu Yan was lonely and helpless at this moment, like a lamb to the slaughter.
The door was closed with a harsh “bang”. Then, there were only Gu Yan and Li Yunhong in such a big house. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was strangely awkward. The harmony just now was just pretending for others.
Gu Yan cleared her throat and wanted to do something. She must cheer up and find ways to change the situation. Otherwise, something bad would happen to her.
“Aunt, the bracelet on your arm is really beautiful! It’s a perfect match for your temperament.” Gu Yan said and was pointing at the bracelet on Li Yunhong’s arm.
“Really? I think so. I am going to give it to Chen Qian when she marries Mo Yichen. It’s beautiful, right? That’s really a relief for me. I’m afraid that Chen Qian will not like it. If you like it, so will she. I am confused that when Mo Yichen will be mature. He has been seduced by those disreputable women.” The tone Li Yunhong said was higher and higher, like making oblique accusations. And there was no doubt that Gu Yan was the one she was blaming for.
Gu Yan could tell the implication in Li Yunhong’s words. But she could not give up now. She was not the one who could give up easily.
She believed that the persistent hard work could defeat anything when she was a little girl. As long as she made efforts, she could make it.
“Aunt, you’re right. The necklace will suit Chen Qian well. You both are elegant and generous. It’s refreshing for anyone to see you at the first sight. No one else can leave that deep impression like you.” Gu Yan said softly with a smile, pretending not to be bothered by those words.
“Exactly, Gu Yan is not simple. She can even bear such vicious words. No wonder Chen Qian told me that she wanted to give up many times. It’s so difficult for Chen Qian to get along with Gu Yan. Such a woman with full of scheming is really terrible.” Li Yunhong thought. When she looked at Gu Yan’s innocence face, she couldn’t believe that Gu Yan was such a scheming woman. But she was trying not to be deceived by her kind appearance.
Now, all Li Yunhong wanted to do was to teach Gu Yan a lesson and let her see exactly who she was. The door of Mo’s family door was not available for everyone. As the host of Mo’s family, Li Yunhong wouldn’t allow Gu Yan to be her daughter-in-law.
“In a few days, Chen Qian’s birthday is coming soon. I will ask Mo Yichen to give the gift to Chen Qian. Originally, they should marry at her birthday. However, Mo Yichen is not obedient at all.” Li Yunhong mentioned Chen Qian frequently, which made Gu Yan feel very uncomfortable. She finally could not stand that any more.
“From my point of view, although Chen Qian has got everything, unfortunately, she needs a man who loves her. But true love is difficult to find. What a pity. I really hope she can meet her right man, and they will love each other. Only then can she be happy.” Gu Yan staring at Li Yunhong and said sincerely.
Actually, Gu Yan didn’t hate Chen Qian. She knew that feelings which is to watch the man she loved loving another woman. She knew exactly about those feelings. But she and Mo Yichen really loved each other, and nothing could stop them. She wanted to be with him forever.
Love was selfish, and no one would make concessions.
Li Yunhong was surprised at her words. She paused because she knew that “one can take a horse to water, but one cannot make it drink.” However, she would rather let a woman who loved her son accompany him even if he didn’t love her, than allow him to be cheated by another woman.
The most important factor was Mo Xiangyan. She would never allow a woman with bad behaviors and manners to be Mo Xiangyan’s stepmother. Mo Xiangyan and Mo Yichen were the people she cared most in the world. She would try her best to protect them from hurts.
Li Yunhong was speechless.
