Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 373: Like a Spring Breeze

"Mom, if you really want what’s best for me, go to the Ye Family and demand justice for me!" Gu Wanwan wiped away the tears from her eyes and looked at Li Yulan, saying, "After all, when I married into their family, I brought a dowry of fifty million. I want a divorce, and even if I have to go to prison with it, it’s premarital property; they need to return it!"

At the mention of the fifty million, Li Yulan’s expression changed. That’s right! Though Gu Wanwan was useless now, if that fifty million fell into her hands...

Li Yulan’s face showed a hint of a smile. "Of course, that’s what I was planning. With that money, you might be able to build connections and get a reduced sentence."

Gu Wanwan looked at Li Yulan. "Dad said he’s already trying hard to make connections..."

Li Yulan scoffed. "Your dad’s busy doing business; the only people he knows in the underworld are the tax bureau! Waiting for your dad to save you, you’d probably be cremated already!"

Gu Wanwan thought to herself, at least Gu Zheng had come to see me, but you haven’t even visited me once.

In the past, Gu Wanwan had many grievances against her father, but since she moved into this hospital and lay in the hospital bed, some thoughts changed invisibly.

Thinking about when she insisted on marrying Ye Mingchen, even when the Ye Family made such unreasonable demands, Gu Zheng still agreed.

If it had been Li Yulan, nine times out of ten, she would have watched her wrist herself and wouldn’t have agreed to bring fifty million into the Ye Family!

Gu Wanwan looked at Li Yulan, not seeing her as a mother but as an enemy.

Gu Wanwan said, "Mom, you shouldn’t contact that person anymore..."

Li Yulan was slightly startled, then said impatiently, "Eat! The food will get cold soon!"

Seeing her completely unconcerned with what was said, Gu Wanwan’s brow furrowed tightly: "Mom, how old are you now? Do you still think you’re young? That man must have an agenda, otherwise, why would he be interested in you? Dad has been good to us over the years, you..."

"Enough!" Li Yulan placed the bowl heavily on the bed, her eyes filled with impatience: "You shouldn’t meddle in adult matters. You just need to take care of your health; don’t ask about anything else."

Seeing Li Yulan’s attitude, a feeling of hatred spread in Gu Wanwan’s heart.

If it hadn’t been for her, she wouldn’t have ended up in this position.

Now, she’s even betraying her own father.

Gu Wanwan’s brow furrowed even tighter, her disgust evident in her eyes: "I’m not supposed to care? Mom, when will you stop being so greedy and shameless!"

"I’m greedy and shameless?" Li Yulan’s already angry demeanor was instantly ignited by these words, and she stood up abruptly: "If you siblings were competent, would I need to be like this? You think I don’t want a stable life?"

All these years, she’s always carried the stigma of being labeled a mistress.

Even after becoming Madam Gu for so many years, she was still privately criticized within the elite circles.

Especially after Gu Ningyue’s twenty-third birthday, she became known as the wicked stepmother who mistreated her predecessor’s daughter.

It was then that she truly understood what it meant to feel pain.

Now Gu Zheng was extremely disappointed in her, and she no longer had any feelings for Gu Zheng. Why couldn’t she choose a better life?

Anyway, she’s carried the title of mistress her whole life, and she doesn’t care about adding another instance.

"We’re not competent? Whose fault is that?" Gu Wanwan clenched her fingers, looking at Li Yulan: "Everything I’ve had since I was young was arranged by you, whose fault is it that I’m where I am today? You never treated me and Xiao Heng equally!"

"Oh right, if it weren’t for you, Xiao Heng wouldn’t have been raised to be so fearless!"

"I wonder if he’ll survive those years of sentencing; even if he gets out, he’ll likely go back in!"

These words had been bottled up inside her, and finally, at this moment, they spilled out. Gu Wanwan felt a sense of relief.

Li Yulan’s chest heaved; Gu Wanwan had always been obedient, even when her money was used to bail out Gu Heng, she had never complained.

She didn’t expect that Gu Wanwan would say such heart-piercing words to hurt her.

"Fine, fine! You’ve grown up, you’ve become bold enough to talk to me like this!"

"Since you look down on your mother so much, then wait for your father to save you!"

"I foolishly came to see you today; I should let you, this little monster, be left here to fend for yourself!"

Li Yulan grabbed her limited edition LV bag, turned, and slammed the door as she left. Gu Wanwan looked at the beautifully dressed figure, and with a ’bang,’ she swept the bowl and chopsticks onto the floor, smashing them into pieces.

Two police officers heard the commotion and entered the room, only to find a mess on the floor, and Gu Wanwan with her head buried in the covers.

The two exchanged a glance, cleaned up the mess, ensured Gu Wanwan was okay, and then left.

"Didn’t Gu Zheng hire a caregiver for his daughter? Why haven’t they shown up for work?"

"Didn’t you know? Director Chen didn’t approve."

"Oh, then she’s got a long road ahead..."

"...Director Li, you’re looking good today! You seem really well." Two people were chatting when a little nurse greeted a doctor in a white coat not far away.

They heard and turned to look, seeing Li Jing with a freshly picked bouquet of flowers, still glistening with water droplets, warmly talking to the little nurse: "Good morning to you too!"

The little nurse looked at the flowers in Li Jing’s hands and couldn’t help but laugh, "Director Li is really popular! Got flowers this early in the morning?"

Li Jing smiled, "No, I bought them casually when passing the flower shop. Do they look nice?"

The little nurse nodded, "Really nice. Who are they for, Director Li? Your girlfriend?"

Li Jing didn’t answer the question, just smiled gently at her, saying, "It’s getting late, you should make your rounds now."

The tone clearly implied he didn’t want her to ask further.

Though a bit reluctant, the little nurse respected Li Jing’s words and didn’t push, "Alright, see you, Director Li!"

"See you." Li Jing turned and walked towards Gu Wanwan’s hospital room, his face adorned with a spring-like smile.

However, though saying so, the little nurse walked away slowly and kept looking back frequently.

When she saw Li Jing enter Gu Wanwan’s room with the bouquet, she sneered, "A criminal, and yet Director Li’s interested, what’s that about? Just unlucky..."
