Chapter 71

Gu Die thought, since she said she wanted to see him, then over all these years she wanted to see him, there were plenty of opportunities.

But he had never heard any news about her.

Just as Liuli thought her parents were dead, so she abandoned her, he also thought his mother had long been dead, otherwise how could there be no news at all.

"Auntie, please have a seat first."

Liuli spoke, Gu Die's expression on his face was terrifyingly cold, Liuli had never let go of his hand.

"Okay, you must be Liuli?"

The woman asked.

"Yes."

"It's a pity Auntie couldn't see you get married, couldn't attend your wedding."

"It's fine, Auntie."

"I also don't know what to give you, so I can only wish you two happiness forever."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

"Die'er, can you forgive me?"

The woman said to Gu Die, Gu Die didn't even glance at her.

He actually wanted to look at her in his heart, who wouldn't want to know what their biological mother looks like, but he restrained himself from looking at her.

"You and I have no relation, what's there to forgive or not forgive?"

Gu Die said coldly.

"At least I gave birth to you, without me would you exist?"

The woman retorted, her tone no longer gentle as before, as if blaming Gu Die for not acknowledging her.

"You gave birth to me, but didn't raise me, so we have nothing to do with each other."

"You child, you actually dare to say such things!"

The woman couldn't hold back, speaking kindly, coaxing Gu Die to forgive her, wanting him to acknowledge her as his mother, but really just wanting the Gu family's money.

Before it was for money, now it's still for money.

If she truly loved Gu Die, as Gu Die thought, why hadn't she come to see him before.

Instead she picked this moment, bluntly, this woman just wants to come and take Gu Qing's inheritance.

Gu Qing has now passed away, but overlooked one thing, he didn't expect this woman to still come shamelessly asking for money.

Gu Qing also never thought he would get cancer, everything happened suddenly.

And the woman always thought the marriage certificate was her obstacle, no one truly cared for her, no one wanted to marry her.

Her life depended on other men, flirting with men to support herself, she wouldn't wear non-brand clothes, everything she used had to be expensive.

She knew as a woman she needed to take care of herself, youth is capital, but she's already forty, not young anymore.

Yet every time she had to rely on money to dress herself up, also felt sorry for herself, so she looks like she's in her thirties.

The woman thought, with Gu Qing's passing, it's also a good thing.

They didn't legally divorce, so she and Gu Qing are still husband and wife, Gu Qing died, his property should rightfully be inherited by her as his wife.

"Auntie, Die gege is in a bad mood, please understand him."

The woman spoke loudly, Feng Wei heard and hurried over to say.

"How am I supposed to understand him? He's not a child anymore, whether I acknowledge him or not doesn't matter, anyway whatever I say I'm still Gu Qing's wife, I am the mistress of the Gu family."

The woman said shamelessly, Gu Die initially thought the woman felt some guilt, wanted his forgiveness.

Now it seems, such a woman would abandon him and Gu Qing, which is something she could do.

"Get lost."

Gu Die's eyes full of anger, the woman saw this gaze and was startled.

He was telling her to get lost? The woman couldn't bear it, he was born from her, he doesn't feel grateful, that's fine, but he still tells her to get lost.

"Gu Qing! Look at the good son you raised, actually saying he wants me to get lost!" The woman knelt before Gu Qing's portrait and loudly cried out, making Xu Ke, Zihan, and Cheng Li Bai Xu all confused.

"I suffered so much to give birth to him, took half my life, yet he doesn't appreciate me, still wants to kick me out! What am I supposed to do?!"

Zihan's dad immediately recognized the woman, just listening to her wailing like singing opera, also ignored her.

Zihan was about to go ask, but was pulled back by her dad, Zihan saw her dad's calm demeanor, also calmed down.

With him around, nothing is for her as a daughter to worry about.

When she was young, he always stood in front of her, shielding her from wind and rain, now too.

She has grown up now, seeing his face so aged, she as a daughter can do nothing.

Can only watch him slowly grow old.

"Gu Die, I'm hungry, let's go eat, okay?"

Liuli asked, she didn't want him to stay here, she also knew he didn't want to stay here.

"Okay."

Although he was in a bad mood, when Liuli said she was hungry, he still agreed.

"Just let her make a fuss here, see how much energy she has."

Xu Ke quietly said to Liuli.

"Mm, let's go eat." Liuli replied, "Go call Cheng Li them too."

"Okay, wait for me!"

Xu Ke ran like the wind to Bai Xu's side, shouting for them to go eat.

During the meal, Gu Die sat beside Liuli, Xu Ke sat between Cheng Li and Bai Xu, fortunately Zihan was accompanying her dad, otherwise she would definitely be jealous.

"Aren't you hungry? Eat more."

Gu Die said to Liuli.

Yu Ke even felt that Gu Die was completely different from the one who was about to lose his temper just now.

Indeed, Gu Die was still gentle with Liuli; Yu Ke thought it would be nice if someone could treat her like that too.

He can have a bad temper, he can be very cold, but as long as he treats her well, that's enough.

"Okay, you too."

Liuli smiled and said.

Cheng Li and Bai Xu really couldn't understand Liuli and Gu Die; Cheng Li knew that when Gu Die had no choice but not to save Liuli, he really wanted them to divorce.

But he also thought that when he previously asked Liuli and Gu Die to divorce, Liuli didn't leave, and now it also depends on Liuli's own thoughts.

He didn't ask Liuli's thoughts; he only asked Zihan, and Zihan told him that Gu Die had his reasons.

As for what specific reason, she couldn't say, but Zihan told Cheng Li that Gu Die loved Liuli, more than he loved anyone else.

Cheng Li didn't believe it before, but after all, Zihan is Gu Die's cousin; she said she understood, and if Zihan doesn't understand him, then who else would?

So Cheng Li believed Zihan's words that Gu Die had Liuli in his heart.

As for now, whether to divorce or not, whether to love or not, it's all Liuli's own business.

As his friend, he has no right to interfere, but if Liuli gets hurt, he will be by her side immediately.

Before, it was always like this; when Liuli was in a bad mood, Cheng Li would accompany her like an older brother.

Now, Liuli has also made new friends, with Yu Ke and Zihan taking care of her, by her side, Cheng Li can also relax.

After all, he is a boy, and boys and girls still have some different thoughts, and he is not as meticulous as girls.

"You two eat more, I don't know how you grew so big."

Yu Ke glanced left at Cheng Li, right at Bai Xu, teasing them both.

"So thin, thinner than girls."

"Hurry up and eat, why so much talk?"

Cheng Li retorted.

"You won't even let me speak?"

Yu Ke said dissatisfiedly.

"Hurry up and eat."

Bai Xu said.

"I'm too lazy to bother with you two."

Yu Ke gave Cheng Li a white eye on the left, and Bai Xu a white eye on the right.

Bai Xu looked at Cheng Li with an innocent face, wondering how he did nothing yet provoked Yu Ke's anger.

Cheng Li helplessly shook his head.

"Gu Qing, look at your good son! Look at how he treats me!"

The woman was still shouting loudly; when she looked back, there was no one around, and Gu Die had long disappeared.

Those who came to attend the funeral were people the Gu Family had helped in times of crisis; they would not spread this scandal.

Everyone knows that Gu Qing was once deceived by a woman, and the Gu Clan was built by him through his own efforts.

Now that Gu Qing has passed away, this woman has come to cause trouble, nothing more than wanting to get a share of the Gu Family's property.

Anyone with eyes can see it, but just let her make a fuss; when she's had enough, she'll naturally stop.

"Are you Ju Zi?"

Gu Li asked.

The woman looked at him and then realized he was Gu Li.

"You're here too, good. You just didn't hear how Gu Die spoke of me; after all, I gave birth to him. Not wanting to support me in my old age is fine, but actually driving me away."

"You gave birth to him, but you didn't raise him yourself; he naturally would say that, and if it were you, you'd probably say the same."

"What are you saying! You Gu Family people are all the same!"

"Then why do you still need to come? You abandoned them father and son first; now coming back, what's the point?"

"My husband died, I can't still come to see him? I and Gu Qing are still nominally husband and wife; you can't deny that."

"I just heard you say there's a marriage certificate; a marriage certificate proves nothing, especially for the Gu Family."

Gu Li laughed, saying the Gu Family has great power and influence, just relying on a marriage certificate to feel secure is truly laughable.

Making this woman not appear in Luohai City is as easy as turning over one's hand, let alone giving her money.

She cheated money and left back then, without taking any responsibility for Gu Die.

"Then I'll just sue you! I'll stay here and not leave; I'll cause a huge commotion so everyone knows what the Gu Family is really like!"

"However you want to cause trouble, if you think it's useful, go ahead; to the Gu Family, it doesn't matter."

Zihan, listening nearby, felt relieved; this kind of person should be made to know her threats mean nothing.

"Gu Qing! Look at how your Gu Family treats me! Listen to how Gu Li is speaking!"

The woman cried out again, but seeing no one around, no matter how much she cried and shouted, it was useless, so she lowered her voice.

"Auntie, don't cry, take care of your health."

Feng Wei helped the woman up and said.

Zihan only felt speechless; this kind of person, Feng Wei still bothers with her, and indeed, they are somewhat alike.

"Who are you? Just you alone asking me, thank you."

The woman wiped her tears and said.

"I should have been your daughter-in-law, but just now that woman took the lead, so..."

"Feng Wei, watch what you're saying."

Zihan couldn't bear to hear someone speak of Liuli like that, and immediately retorted at Feng Wei.
