Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

The setting sun dipped in the west, and the sky gradually darkened.

The once colorful flower garden slowly took on a dull hue.

On the stone bench in the small pavilion, Gu Tong sat down carelessly and said, ”I’m screwed, mom’s really set me up this time...”

Thinking about what Feng Zhuoliang had said, and recalling his busy demeanor, Gu Tong just wanted to run away.

Suddenly, it seemed as if she had realized something, and she turned her head, ”Did you know about this all along?”

Everything happened so quickly earlier that she didn’t have time to think it through. Now, upon careful consideration, Li Yan’s actions seemed too smooth, as if he was prepared in advance.

Li Yan’s brilliant eyes glanced at Gu Tong, and with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, he said, ”Before the wedding, Father-in-law mentioned it to me.”

”...Damn...”

She knew it...

So the whole family knew except her...

Thinking about it, Gu Tong just felt utterly displeased.

”Madam, inheriting the Feng Family is quite nice. After we retire, we won’t have to worry about our son’s formula money. We could have a whole house full of kids,” Li Yan teased her playfully.

”...” Why does this sound so familiar...

If Gu Tong remembers correctly, when she first heard that Li Yan was the Eldest Young Master of the Li Family, that’s exactly what she said...

What goes around comes around, it’s karma coming back at her...

Thinking about it, Gu Tong couldn’t help but pull a long face.

However, upon careful consideration, many things in this life never happened in her past life.

Even the history of the Feng Family, Gu Tong wasn’t aware of.

If not for coming to Shoucheng this time, she might have remained as ignorant as in her past life, knowing nothing until the end.

With this thought, Gu Tong hesitated for a moment and began to recall the end of the Gu Family in her previous life.

If she remembers correctly, when the Gu Family met its downfall in the past, both father and brother were implicated. However, she knew nothing about her mother’s fate, not even the slightest news, and as for the Feng Family, there was even less to say, as there was no movement at all.

Under normal circumstances, it shouldn’t have been like this...

Moreover, given her mother’s personality, even if pushed to the brink, she would likely give up something to protect her husband and children’s lives, definitely not giving up without a fight.

The events of the past were once again shrouded in a veil. Even though they could be dissected one by one, there were still numerous doubts...

It was as if Gu Tong had opened a door to the unknown, where she could not see the entirety of the landscape, only catching a glimpse of a corner.

”Miss...”

A sudden voice interrupted Gu Tong’s thoughts. The butler, who had appeared at Gu Tong’s side sometime unnoticed, said, ”Madam Li called, asking you to return home!”

Finally, someone couldn’t hold it in any longer. Everything was out of control, even Gong Qingwan probably couldn’t bear it, unwilling to let things slip away, only to strike preemptively and try to gain control of Li Yan.

Gu Tong and Li Yan exchanged a glance, and both could see each other’s thoughts.

”Just say the Feng Family Head is keeping us, and we are too embarrassed to leave early, so we’ll stay one more night and talk tomorrow!”

Gu Tong replied leisurely, though she could already imagine Gong Qingwan’s furious face.

Those accustomed to having their way can’t handle repeated loss of control. If she wasn’t angry, that would indeed be strange.

However, returning to the Li Family was definite! Just not necessarily now.

Of course, what happens next has nothing to do with them. Their primary task now is to rest, awaiting tomorrow’s confrontation with Gong Qingwan!
