Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

He couldn’t imagine the consequences of not picking up the shovel! A chill ran through his heart.

Even though he knew Gu Tong had a chance to fight back, he couldn’t allow her to be in any danger.

The first time, when Gu Tong was poisoned, he felt extremely guilty, and even

in his heartache, he directly mobilized Trainee Ma. This was the first time since he became a Student King that he lost his reasoning, and he was willing to do anything to seek justice for Gu Tong.

Now it’s the second time, though it was stopped, it felt like a shovel hit his heart just the same.

”Son, you’re finally back...”

Li Yan’s mother didn’t notice Li Yan’s grim face, but instead acted up, crying, ”Your wife, she’s bullying me to death, you should just get a divorce, such a wife, she’s disgraced the family, this life is unbearable...”

She cried her heart out, simply sitting cross-legged on the ground, pounding the floor with her hands, starting to shout and throw tantrums, thinking that since Li Yan was raised by her, he would definitely side with her, or at least help her scold Gu Tong.

However, her thoughts were filled with errors, destined to be in vain.

Li Yan stood where he was, looking extremely uncomfortable. Without his mother’s support, he firmly gripped the shovel in his hand, and placed one end on the ground without letting go, questioning, ”Why did you hit her!”

He didn’t care at all what Gu Tong did, what mattered most to him was why they attacked Gu Tong.

Even though their relationship was strained, it hadn’t reached such an extent, he needed a reason that could convince himself.

If not, even if it was his mother, it wouldn’t matter!

”What more reason do you need! Your wife can’t have children, she came to the house and bothered me. I was soft-hearted and begged to take her to see a doctor! But what did she do! She hit both of the Zhao’s sons and even wanted to report them, relying on her being Prince’s daughter, she’s making a mess!”

”This is the good wife you married for me, do you expect her to be filial to me? Li Yan, can you really stand to see your mom suffer like this... if you care for me, quickly divorce her, or she’ll end up hurting me...”

Li Yan’s mother, feeling it wasn’t harsh enough, decided to reveal all the words Zhao predicted, hoping to change Li Yan’s mind.

However, saying all this was of no use.

Instead, it only triggered Li Yan’s suspicion. Initially, when he saw the note Gu Tong left saying she was returning to her hometown, he felt something was wrong.

Racing against time, he rushed back to their hometown, but who knew, they weren’t at home. After inquiring for a long time, Li Yan finally found the Zhao Family they were talking about!

Along the way, Li Yan thought a lot, guessing Gu Tong’s intentions, yet regardless of whatever he guessed, he couldn’t find the motive behind Gu Tong’s actions, leaving only more doubts.

”What exactly is going on!” Li Yan needed to know the truth!

He focused on Gu Tong, desperately needing an answer, his heart burned as if on fire, enduring the agony and almost losing control!

Gu Tong also looked back at him, all words turned into a single look, equally filled with questions...

”What else could it be! Li Yan, I’ll tell you plainly today, in this house, it’s either her or me! If you want a wife, or you want a mom, you figure it out!”

Li Yan’s mother simply threw out her final explosive phrase, shattering the existing atmosphere completely.

She confidently believed that with Li Yan’s level of filial piety, he would undoubtedly choose his mother!

Indeed, if you don’t court death, you won’t die!

Li Yan’s mother’s words made Li Yan’s already sullen face look even darker, his sharp eyes glanced at his mother and said, ”Say that again!”
