Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 335: Found the Answer

Over these years, many fervent emotions have faded into dullness with time.

The beauty has waned, and Gu Zheng feels weary as he looks at the woman before him.

If there’s anything he still cares about and can’t let go, it would be the pair of children he shares with her.

Now, they are both going to be sent to prison, and the fatigue in Gu Zheng’s heart has become increasingly evident.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind—perhaps he was wrong back then?

If Gu Ningyue’s mother hadn’t died, even if he didn’t like her, maintaining appearances shouldn’t have been too difficult.

Gu Ningyue’s mother was so beautiful and seldom meddled in his affairs. If he had just played along a little, to outsiders, they would have seemed like a happy family.

But alas, there are no regrets in life.

Everything has become the past, irretrievably so.

"You still don’t believe me, do you?" Li Yulan looked at Gu Zheng with a stern expression and suddenly stood up: "Fine, I’ll leave! Once I’m gone, you won’t be bothered by me anymore!"

She called the housekeeper to help her pack her luggage upstairs.

Gu Zheng didn’t expect Li Yulan to react so extremely; he only asked a few questions, and she became this agitated.

This made his original suspicions about her almost completely confirmed.

"Master, this..."

The housekeeper looked at the situation but was hesitant to comply with Li Yulan’s request, only quietly seeking Gu Zheng’s opinion.

Gu Zheng glanced at the housekeeper: "Didn’t you hear what Madam said? Hurry and help her pack her luggage!"

The housekeeper was surprised to see Gu Zheng’s reaction and then sluggishly turned around to run upstairs and help Li Yulan pack.

Li Yulan stood there, incredulous.

She merely intended to frighten Gu Zheng a little but never expected him to not buy into her act, simply letting her go?

"Let the driver take you later!" Gu Zheng took a card out of his pocket: "You’re upset, there’s two hundred thousand on this card, take a break and unwind!"

Li Yulan looked at the card Gu Zheng held out, still in disbelief that the man in front of her was expelling her.

Seeing she didn’t reach for the card, Gu Zheng then placed it on the table, no longer glancing at Li Yulan, and turned into the study.

"Bang!"

The moment the study door closed, Li Yulan finally woke up, having to accept everything.

With her slender, well-maintained fingers, she picked up the bank card on the table, her tears mingled with a smile: "Fine, very fine!"

She never imagined that having borne children for this man and managed the household, this would be her final result.

It seems her brother was right; it was easy for her to become the second Gu Ningyue’s mother.

Gu Zheng’s ruthlessness and decisiveness were beyond her imagination. Yet, all these years, she somehow still held on to hope.

Even in the dead of night, she would reproach herself for betraying the Gu Family to Xiang Bei, questioning if it was the right choice.

Now everything finally has an answer; she has no more guilt to bear!

Gu Zheng, you are heartless to me, don’t blame me for being unfaithful to you.

"Madam, the suitcase is ready, do you want to take a look?"

The housekeeper came downstairs to Li Yulan, speaking carefully.

This seemed to be the first time Li Yulan and Gu Zheng had argued so fiercely, even the housekeeper of the Gu Family dared not act as relaxed as before.

"No need!" Li Yulan took a tissue and dried the remaining tears on her face, replacing them with a smile: "Bring my suitcase down!"

The housekeeper looked at Li Yulan, who despite having borne children, had maintained herself exceptionally well over the years.

Not only had her figure not changed, but even her face retained its charm.

Though her skin couldn’t compare to a young girl in her early twenties, it was still tender and fine, making her appear no more than in her thirties at most!

"Madam, Master was just angry. Wouldn’t it be better to go and make amends? This might blow over." The housekeeper thought for a while, but couldn’t help giving advice: "It’s late, it’s not safe for you to go out alone."

Li Yulan sneered, "No need, since he wants me to leave, I’ll gladly do so! Bring my suitcase down, I don’t want to repeat myself!"

In the past, it was always her compromising, showing deference before Gu Zheng.

But now, Gu Zheng’s company is facing a major crisis, and she is anxious to escape unscathed.

This time, it’s a perfect opportunity.

After some time passes, she can live a life of luxury without having to look at anyone’s face.

The housekeeper saw Li Yulan’s firm demeanor and sighed, bringing the suitcase down from upstairs, "Madam, I’ll see you out."

Li Yulan nodded, not rejecting the housekeeper’s kindness.

Once out the villa’s door, the housekeeper hesitated for a second and said: "Madam, where are you going? It’s late, shall I have the driver take you?"

Li Yulan was about to agree but then shook her head: "No need, you go back! I can manage on my own."

The housekeeper wanted to say more, but Li Yulan already pushed open the door and left with the suitcase.

Inside the study, Gu Zheng watched Li Yulan’s departing figure, and picked up his phone to dial: "Xiao Chen, follow Madam. Report back to me if anything happens!"

"Yes."

After hanging up, Gu Zheng watched the woman with the suitcase moving farther away, his expression remaining as calm as water.

If it’s really as he suspects, then not only their pair of children, but even Li Yulan won’t have it easy!

All these years, he never doubted this person beside him.

Not because he trusted Li Yulan deeply, but because her occasional little schemes were crystal clear to him.

People, it’s understandable to have small greedy desires.

If this were to be crushed, it would only invite greater ambitions.

So for all these years, he turned a blind eye to Li Yulan’s actions.

Even her treatment of Gu Ningyue wasn’t entirely unknown to him.

It’s just that Gu Ningyue resembled her mother too much.

She inherited her mother’s beauty, perhaps even surpassing it.

Whenever he saw Gu Ningyue, it reminded him of those days living under someone else’s roof.

And Li Yulan’s actions merely fulfilled what he wanted to do but couldn’t.

After all, she is his daughter.

Things he couldn’t do, having someone else do them was not such a bad thing.

But at this moment, he realized he had perhaps made a mistake.

His indulgence of Li Yulan had, on the contrary, bolstered her courage, pushing him and those around him one step closer to disaster.
