Chapter 99

He wanted to know why she wanted to spend a night with a man.

He wished he could go find her right now.

"Are you still together with Shen Zeyan?"

"I..."

Liuli didn't know how to answer; she was with Ze Yan, but how could he think she would stay overnight with Ze Yan and not go home?

Does he not trust her that much?

Before Liuli could finish speaking, Gu Die hung up the phone.

Liuli felt awful; it was the first time he had hung up on her.

Could he really think she would stay with Ze Yan all night and not go home?

So in his mind, she was that kind of person.

After Liuli picked up the phone, her expression grew even heavier; He Yun, Chu Feng, and Ze Yan could all see it.

"I told him, and he agreed."

But Liuli still pretended to be happy.

He Yun, Chu Feng, and Ze Yan all remained silent.

"Since he agreed, just stay at home for a while before going back."

Chu Feng broke the silence and said.

"Okay."

Liuli replied.

After Liuli left, Gu Die stayed alone in the car, going nowhere.

After waiting so long, she didn't even call.

If he hadn't asked, she might not have told him she wouldn't be coming back tonight.

He couldn't understand Liuli—why she insisted on getting close to Ze Yan, and who she really loved in her heart.

The more he thought, the more complicated his feelings became: Yu Ke and Bai Xu were together, Zihan and Cheng Li were together, and he was alone.

Even if he went back, he'd still be alone; better to stay outside.

Bai Xu wasn't at the bar, he couldn't be bothered to go, so he just found some place to drink.

Anyway, the alcohol is the same everywhere; as long as he gets drunk, it's fine.

He actually started drinking at a small tavern.

He just told the boss to bring a few bottles, then drank heavily by himself.

The people in the tavern all seemed preoccupied, just like him, only drinking and knowing nothing else.

Not thinking about anything, as if getting drunk would make him forget everything.

He would still love Liuli, or he would forget that Liuli and Ze Yan were together.

"Auntie, you've been here for several days; haven't you considered going to the Gu Family?"

Ju Zi had already been staying at Feng Wei's house for many days; since the last time she returned from the Gu Family, she had remained there.

Staying at Feng Wei's house meant food and drink, money to spend, and designer clothes to wear.

She had never lived in such a mansion before; although she said she would go find Gu Die and become his wife, she could also live in such a big house.

But that brat Gu Die was too heartless, actually ignoring her completely; she might as well just stay at Feng Wei's house.

Feng Wei only wanted to curry favor with Ju Zi; once Ju Zi became Gu Die's wife, Ju Zi would naturally let Liuli and Gu Die divorce, allowing Feng Wei to be with Gu Die.

That was the condition between them; otherwise Feng Wei wouldn't have taken in someone like her.

If such a woman really became the Gu Family's mistress, she would truly feel it's a waste for Gu Die—a selfish, clawing woman who doesn't deserve to be a mother.

It was her, for money and for others, abandoning Gu Die and Gu Qing, and also coming to find Gu Die for money.

If the Gu Family had no money, perhaps this woman would never want to know what her son has become in this lifetime.

Her eyes only see money; Feng Wei doesn't like her, but to be with Gu Die she has no choice.

Once she becomes the Young Mistress of the Gu Family, it won't be too late to drive that woman away.

"Not hurry; besides, if I go, won't I just get kicked out again? Better not to go."

"But why would you be kicked out? Didn't I tell you to speak nicely? You abandoned him, so of course he feels upset."

Whenever Feng Wei thought of Ju Zi not following her advice, instead of communicating properly with Gu Die she just shouted, she got angry.

"How am I supposed to speak nicely? You haven't seen how that brat treats me! After all, I gave birth to him; now that he's successful, he has no mother?"

Feng Wei simply didn't want to communicate with Ju Zi anymore; her way of speaking is so unpleasant, and she even caused a scene at Gu Qing's funeral—if she were her daughter, she would have kicked her out long ago.

No wonder, with Gu Die's bad temper, he's still tolerating her to this extent.

She can also see that Gu Die's coldness is only superficial; his inner self is still soft.

Otherwise, toward her or toward Ju Zi, if he were ruthless, he would have cut ties long ago.

He hasn't expelled Ju Zi from Luo Hai City, which already shows he's considering the fact that she gave birth to him.

She can cause trouble, she can come to the Gu Family to cause trouble, but it's inappropriate to cause a scene at Gu Qing's funeral.

This point, Gu Die cannot tolerate; after all, she originally abandoned him and his father.

He truly doesn't want Gu Qing to pass away while still being disgusted by this woman.

"Auntie, just coax Gu Die; he'll naturally listen to you—he's the type who doesn't respond to force."

Feng Wei sighed inwardly and then kindly advised Ju Zi again.

"If I keep speaking gently and he still won't listen, then I'll just give up and take a hard line with him—I'm his mother, I don't believe he can do anything to me!"

Feng Wei heard that and was even more speechless; if Gu Die really wanted to do something to her, could she still enjoy these carefree days of feasting and drinking?

Taking a hard line with him is practically suicide—is she his mother? What kind of mother is she?

Feng Wei truly didn't want to say another word to Ju Zi; having such a mother would make her vomit blood from anger.

Translate: "Feng Wei really didn't want to say another word to Ju Zi; having such a mother would make her vomit blood from anger."

Check: "Having such a mother, she would be so angry she'd vomit blood." Could be "Having such a mother, she would be so angry she'd vomit blood." We'll keep meaning.

Thus: "Feng Wei really didn't want to say another word to Ju Zi; having such a mother would make her vomit blood from anger."

We need to ensure we didn't add extra info. Original: "Feng Wei truly didn't want to say another word to Ju Zi; having such a mother would make her vomit blood from anger." Means: Feng Wei truly does not want to say another word to Ju Zi; she has such a mother, (she) would be angered to the point of vomiting blood. So translation: "Feng Wei truly didn't want to say another word to Ju Zi; having such a mother would make her vomit blood from anger." That's fine.

"Okay, just follow what I say; let's try once more—Gu Die will accept you."

Speaker is Feng Wei? We'll keep quotes.

Translate: "\"Okay, just do as I say; let's try again—Gu Die will accept you. \"" Need to keep punctuation.

Original: "Okay, just follow what I say; let's try once more—Gu Die will accept you." So translation: "\"Okay, just follow what I say; let's try once more—Gu Die

line: 【89】 We need to keep nuance: "But it's not impossible that Ju Zi pretends to be pitiful and communicates well with Gu Die, there might still be a chance."

But maybe Ju Zi could act pitiful, communicate well with Gu Die, and there might still be a chance."
