Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 370: Sorry to Make Things Difficult for You
The night was deep, some people lay in bed planning for the future, while others were in the villa shouting at the top of their lungs.
Gu Zheng looked at Li Yulan, who had been brought back home, with an indescribable look on his face: "Alright, you can’t explain those, can you? Then let me ask you, how do you explain the things in the metal box? After all these years, you’re still keeping photos with that man? What do you take me for? Huh?"
Li Yulan seemed to have just cried, with traces of tears still on her face: "I’ve said it’s a misunderstanding, I haven’t opened that box for years. Besides, apart from the photo, aren’t there letters you wrote me too? They’re just old things, if you don’t like them, just throw them away, why get so angry?"
Just this afternoon, she received a text from Gu Zheng.
It had been two days, and Gu Zheng finally remembered her existence.
At that time, Xiang Bei hadn’t left the hotel yet, and Li Yulan was lying in Xiang Bei’s arms, her brow slightly furrowed: "Gu Zheng wants me to go back, looks like our happy times have come to an end!"
Li Yulan giggled, showing a daughter-like demeanor: "Oh, you’re so bad! Don’t forget, you still have a beautiful wife waiting for you at home!"
Xiang Bei looked at Li Yulan and said: "Don’t mention that old hag to me, I’m tired of seeing her for so many years already. So, when is he coming to pick you up?"
Li Yulan glanced at the message from Gu Zheng on her phone: "He said he would come after his evening engagement, we still have some time..."
Xiang Bei looked at Li Yulan’s face and said: "Come here, sweetheart, let me kiss you one more time..."
After a bout of passion, Xiang Bei reluctantly got up and dressed to leave.
In the evening, Gu Zheng came by car to pick up Li Yulan.
The receptionist’s gaze at Gu Zheng was uncomfortable, as if not looking at a general manager, but at a fool who had been cuckolded and didn’t know it.
On the way home, neither of them spoke a word until they got back to the house. Gu Zheng asked the servants who were tidying up the house to return to their rooms before putting everything on the table.
Li Yulan naturally wouldn’t admit it, but no matter how much she denied it, Gu Zheng had already fumed with rage after seeing those videos and recordings.
He didn’t believe a single word of Li Yulan’s defense at this time.
"If you haven’t managed that metal box for a long time, why did it appear at the bottom of the wardrobe, deliberately covered with clothes?" Gu Zheng stared into Li Yulan’s eyes: "Have you been with Xiang Bei these past few days?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
His eyes were like an eagle’s, as if wanting to see through Li Yulan entirely, yet he hadn’t expected Li Yulan to once again have tears fall, sobbing as she looked at Gu Zheng and asked: "Gu Zheng, how can you think of me like this? How many grievances have I suffered being with you all these years? And now you’re suspecting me?"
Thinking of those old grievances, Gu Zheng got even more infuriated: "Did I make you suffer those grievances? When you got with me, you knew I had a wife and family, yet you still clung on? Li Yulan, it was your choice to walk this path, no one forced you!"
He had been trying hard to suppress himself, not to say excessively hurtful things, because... after all, they still had two children together.
Listening to these words piercing her heart, Li Yulan, who had been determined to leave Gu Zheng, couldn’t help but howl: "Yes, it’s all my own doing! I’m shameless! I knew you had a family, yet I liked you, stuck with you, bore children for you! It’s all my fault! And you? Gu Zheng? Do you think you’re some saint?"
"Don’t think I don’t know about the things you’ve done. Didn’t Gu Ningyue’s mother give so much effort for you, only for you not even to look at her before ending up with me?"
"Smack!"
The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the villa, and Li Yulan’s whole face turned to the side.
Within seconds, her once fair face swelled instantly, a fiery pain rapidly spreading.
"I’m telling you, Li Yulan, if you bring up that woman to me again, you can get out of the Gu Family!"
Gu Zheng’s lips trembled slightly, because at that moment, Li Yulan had touched the area he couldn’t handle — his past!
Li Yulan covering her face, a bloody taste emerging from her mouth, her eyes filled with both anger and disbelief.
For so long, Gu Zheng had never laid a hand on her, no matter how angry he got, he never did.
This was the first time Gu Zheng was this furious, that he actually hit her.
"Gu Zheng, you hit me! You actually hit me!"
After the shock, filled with sobbing accusations, her voice carried out of the room.
In the downstairs hall, a few servants opened a door slightly, whispering as they listened to the commotion upstairs:
"The master and madam are fighting?"
"Mm-hmm, how come they’re like this just after returning..."
"Who knows, I’ve heard madam..."
"Really? No wonder the master is angry, sigh! This house, since the eldest miss left, seems like it’s been going downhill..."
"Yeah! Actually, the eldest miss wasn’t that awful either."
"You must be kidding! When the eldest miss was home, you bullied her the most!"
"Well, don’t blame me! Madam and the second miss’s orders, how could I not obey..."
"Shh, they’re starting again upstairs!"
"—What do you want me to do? Did you pick me up just for this?" Li Yulan slumped into a chair, covering her face with her hands, tears streaming down: "What do you want me to say for you to believe me? I’ve worked hard for this family for so many years, raising children, even if there’s no merit but at least hard work, how can you treat me like this, Gu Zheng!"
Gu Zheng looked at the woman crying hoarsely, with no pity in his eyes.
For those who betray him, he couldn’t give any emotion.
Even though... they had lived together for so many years and had two children!
"Raising children?" Gu Zheng sneered: "Wanwan has been in the hospital for so many days, did you go see her once? Every time I went to the hospital, she would ask why you weren’t there. Is this how you are as a mother?"
Li Yulan’s crying paused, then she raised her head, her tearful eyes looking at him: "How could I go? If I went and Wanwan noticed anything, what could I say? That child has been sensitive since young, I’d only be adding insult to injury, wouldn’t I?"
Listening to this answer, Gu Zheng couldn’t help but let out a snort: "Indeed! Then it really is difficult for you!"
