Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 371: Shouldn’t Have Doubted

If it weren’t for the fact that he already knew the truth, he might have almost believed that wonderful answer!

When did Li Yulan’s acting skills become so good?

Not acting is truly a bit of an injustice.

Or perhaps, from the very beginning when he knew her, were Li Yulan’s acting skills already enough to deceive his eyes?

It was just that he never knew.

Thinking of this, Gu Zheng’s gaze grew even colder.

This was the first time he began to realize that he never truly understood this woman who had been with him since her girlhood.

Maybe Gu Zheng’s gaze was too profound, Li Yulan forgot to cry and just stared blankly at Gu Zheng.

What’s going on, why does he seem different from before the moment Gu Zheng appeared in front of her at night?

He seems to have changed into a different person, completely unlike before.

His trust in her seems to have completely collapsed, becoming the Gu Zheng from decades ago whom she painstakingly tried to get close to.

Inexplicably, a sense of fear rose in Li Yulan’s heart.

This fear was like a rope tightly binding her heart, ready to strangle her to death with just a tiny bit of force.

"Wanwan had a breakdown and slit her wrists in the hospital. Tomorrow, you should go see her!" Gu Zheng took a deep breath and said to Li Yulan, "Don’t break the child’s heart! After all, you’re still Wanwan’s mother!"

This sentence seemed to indirectly announce to her that besides this identity, there was no longer any other relationship between her and Gu Zheng.

After saying this, Gu Zheng turned to leave, and Li Yulan instinctively reached out to grab Gu Zheng’s arm: "Honey, where are you going?"

She originally thought she no longer cared about anything, as long as she could continue to live a glamorous life, what did it matter about Gu Zheng’s life or death and everything about the Gu Family?

But after Gu Zheng finished saying those words, a trace of regret surfaced in Li Yulan’s heart.

Was everything she had done really worth it?

Gu Zheng shook off her hand: "I’m going to the hospital to see Wanwan, you should rest early!"

Walking to the door, Gu Zheng turned back, looked at the tear-streaked face of Li Yulan, and said, "Also, I’ve had the items in that iron box put away. If you want, you can ask the butler."

These words were practically a disguised threat.

As soon as Li Yulan went to the butler to ask for the box, her intentions would be laid bare.

"I’ll go with you to see Wanwan!"

Li Yulan wiped her tears and got up to follow Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng glanced back at her, "You look this way, Wanwan would feel uncomfortable too. You should rest at home and visit her tomorrow."

Li Yulan turned around and looked at herself in the vanity mirror, snot and tears all over her face, looking particularly ugly.

A thought suddenly flashed through Li Yulan’s mind, if Xiang Bei saw her like this, would he still like her?

While she was lost in thought, Gu Zheng had already left.

After standing still for a moment, Li Yulan closed the door, picked up the phone, and dialed a number: "Xiang Bei, it seems like he knows something..."

The next morning, when Li Yulan woke up, Gu Zheng still hadn’t returned.

The butler and the servants looked at the well-dressed but visibly exhausted Li Yulan with somewhat evasive eyes.

"Where is the master?"

The butler looked at Li Yulan: "Madam, the master didn’t come back all night last night. Breakfast is ready, do you want to eat now, or..."

Li Yulan took a deep breath, looked at the butler, and said, "Don’t wait for the master anymore."

"Yes." The butler answered and asked the servants to bring breakfast to the table.

At this time, Gu Zheng definitely wouldn’t return, more than likely he went to the company.

After finishing breakfast, Li Yulan touched up her makeup, seeing that she looked alright, she then got up and drove to the hospital.

While driving, her phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, a smile appeared on Li Yulan’s originally gloomy face: "Hello? You’re free now?"

Xiang Bei’s voice came from the other side: "Yeah! I was thinking about you. Even when I’m busy, I find time! I’m sorry you had to endure yesterday, did he make things difficult for you today?"

Li Yulan shook her head: "No, he went to the hospital to see Wanwan yesterday and didn’t come back at all."

"If he makes things difficult for you again, just pretend you didn’t hear anything. If you don’t speak, he can’t do anything to you." After secretly talking to Li Yulan on the phone yesterday, Xiang Bei kept pondering it. If Gu Zheng indeed found out something, his first reaction would definitely not be to divorce, but to gather evidence.

Moreover, seeing how Gu Zheng was handling things nowadays matched his expectations.

Li Yulan acknowledged, saying into the phone: "I’m heading to see Wanwan now, almost there. What about you? What are you doing?"

Xiang Bei chuckled deeply: "Of course, thinking about you. Last night my wife nagged me for a long time too, really annoyed me!"

Li Yulan giggled: "Isn’t that good? It shows she still cares about you! If a woman ignores you, that’s when it’s dangerous! Aren’t you content?"

"That’s strange." Xiang Bei said into the phone, "I remember when I married her, you didn’t think much of her. What’s changed now? Why are you defending her?"

Li Yulan’s smile deepened: "So much time has passed, in the end, we’re all women, of course, I understand how she feels!"

That woman, how could she be worthy of Xiang Bei? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Once she takes the seat of Mrs. Xiang, let’s see how she plays with that woman!

After being with Xiang Bei for so many years, that woman should be content.

"But she seems to have noticed something, recently she’s been sending text messages!" Xiang Bei told Li Yulan, "Hang in there, soon you’ll be able to leave that place."

Li Yulan agreed, feeling a bit displeased but knowing there’s no point in saying anything now.

Seeing the hospital where Gu Wanwan was getting closer, Li Yulan said into the phone, "Alright, I’m almost there, I’ll hang up now!"

"Okay." Xiang Bei hesitated for two seconds: "By the way, be careful and watch out for Gu Zheng, don’t let any big slip-ups show!"

Li Yulan nodded: "I know..."

Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Li Yulan suddenly recalled something and said to Xiang Bei: "If one day I became very ugly, would you still like me?"

Xiang Bei was slightly stunned by these words, then found it somewhat amusing: "What are you talking about, we’re both at this age, who cares about that? Besides, I’ve never forgotten about you all these years. Yulan, why are you asking such things?"

Li Yulan kept silent, perhaps, was she thinking too much?

She shouldn’t doubt him...
