Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Life Is Like a Play, All About Acting Skills

Huo Yiwen was feeling quite smug. Hearing her husband shouting at the little fox spirit, she knew that the fox spirit could never outdo her.

”Han Er, the Gu Family married you in, not to break up the family! Why don’t you speak up?” Huo Yiwen hurriedly fanned the flames.

Gu Xiaozhan listened as both his parents shouted at his woman, and immediately his face was painted with a stormy rage.

Mu Anhan didn’t want him to ruin her good show. As she clung to his leg, she secretly pinched him hard, signaling him not to get angry, as the show had just begun!

Receiving her pleading gaze, Gu Xiaozhan finally suppressed his rising fury.

”Dad, Mom, I didn’t sow discord between the siblings because the Crown Prince repeatedly tried underhanded tactics against Xiaozhan. Yong Lei is his fiancée, so naturally, she’s on the Pei Family’s side. The explosion at the Sanwan Bridge at that time couldn’t be unrelated to Pei Wei...”

”What?” Gu Zhentao, who had been semi-retired, was both shocked and horrified at what he heard.

”Husband, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken out of turn...” Mu Anhan covered her mouth, looking pitifully at Gu Xiaozhan.

Huo Yiwen, who had already received the news, also displayed a look of surprise, even shedding tears: ”Zhan Er, I’m sorry, your father and I knew nothing of this. My child was in such great danger...”

”Xiaozhan, is this true or false?” Gu Zhentao slapped the sofa, burning with anger.

An internal feud within the Gu Family was one thing; using some tactics in fighting over family assets in a wealthy family was not unreasonable.

But, colluding with outsiders intending to take his son’s life was something he could not tolerate.

”Jiang Fan, who planted the bomb on the Sanwan Bridge, was just a pawn!” Gu Xiaozhan said. ”The true mastermind behind it all was Pei Wei.”

Gu Zhentao suddenly stood up: ”What is the Pei Family worth? If it weren’t for our Gu Family’s support, they’d be nothing! And they dare turn against the Gu Family! Xiaozhan, go for it! Whatever happens, I’ll back you up!”

Huo Yiwen was stunned!

All her life, she had used every trick to earn Gu Zhentao’s affection and secure assets for her children.

But with just a few words from Mu Anhan, Gu Zhentao was backing Gu Xiaozhan!

”Moreover, Xiaozhan, why didn’t you tell us about such a big matter?” Gu Zhentao shouted displeased, ”Are your wings grown strong now?”

”Dad, it’s not like that!” Mu Anhan stood up at this moment, her eyes reddened. ”Xiaozhan just felt that he was grown up, able to handle things independently without worrying his parents. Everyone gets used to reporting good news but not bad news as they grow older.”

Gu Zhentao directed his sharp gaze at Gu Xiaozhan’s face, but he turned away, seemingly unwilling to engage in this emotional father-son card play.

”Let’s go!” Gu Zhentao prepared to leave.

Huo Yiwen held onto his arm as they left the office.

Once their figures completely disappeared, Mu Anhan joyfully spun around a few times, then lay down on the sofa, crossing her legs, ”Life is like a drama, all relying on acting skills!”

Huo Yiwen wanted to play the role of a good mother-in-law, but couldn’t Mu Anhan play the role of a capable and beautiful daughter-in-law?

Just as she finished saying this, a handsome and cold face came into view above her.

Did she act out her dependence on him, her obedience, her admiration, her feelings for him as well?
