CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 243 SHE JUST WANTS PURE LOVE 2

But in the end, the person who couldn’t bear to do it, was still him!

Gu Yucheng strode away, and when he reached the doorway, he saw Tian Xin, treated her as if she didn’t exist, and then quickly disappeared from the hospital.

At this moment, Ji Su was leaning on the windowsill, slowly crouching down, her love had long been riddled with holes, her marriage had already lost trust, yet she had still played the role of a loving couple for so long.

How ridiculous people are!

How sorrowful people are!

Had it not been for her mother unintentionally offending a person in the business world six years ago, would Ji Su have betrayed Gu Yucheng by stealing his business secrets?

One wrong step leads to a thousand errors!

She had a pitiful mother!

She had a husband who hated her!

Tian Xin had not expected there to be such a story between them; on her way home, she went to Bei Ran’s house.

Tian Xin was not good at keeping secrets; she immediately told Bei Ran everything.

Bei Ran took a sip of tea, "So, it may be that Gu Qingchen never loved Ji Su at all. We’ve all been blinded by this matter and never saw the truth clearly."

"What?" Tian Xin put down her teacup, "Then who was the woman he once loved?"

"I don’t know either!" Bei Ran said somberly: "Remember my analysis? Ji Su is simply not the type of woman Qingchen likes!"

"Then what type does he like?" Tian Xin shrugged, "Your type? Learned and polite, composed, intelligent, and very beautiful?"

Bei Ran gave Tian Xin a glance, "Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder, indeed, he and Ji Su don’t seem like they were ever passionately in love! Alright, no matter who that woman is, I don’t think about it now!"

Tian Xin sighed, "Alright! Take care of yourself these next few days; I need to be with Junyi too. After such an incident, no one is having an easy time."

Just then, Bei Ran’s phone rang; it was Song Xiaoyin calling: "Bei Ran, are you free? I’m out eating with the kids, do you want to join us?"

"Sure!" Bei Ran mentioned it to Tian Xin, and the two of them went together.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Tian Xin was thrilled; she hadn’t seen the children for a long time.

"Auntie Sweetheart, you’re getting more and more beautiful!" Little Fish had an especially sweet mouth, "Auntie Sweetheart..."

Tian Xin hugged her, "Auntie hasn’t seen you for a long time, you’re getting more and more beautiful too! You’ll soon be a grown-up girl!"

"Yeah! I can also wear a wedding dress like Auntie Sweetheart..." Little Fish said excitedly.

Tian Xin’s face gradually darkened, with Auntie Yang gone, how could Yang Junyi have the heart to take wedding photos!

But Tian Xin was not in a hurry!

After all these years of waiting, why rush at this moment!

Bei Ran noticed her thoughts and gently patted Tian Xin, hinting at her to relax, to wait until this period passed before worrying about it.

So Song Xiaoyin said: "Let’s sit down and eat! You must be hungry too!"

Just as they were eating happily, suddenly, the door to the private room was opened.

First, two black-clad bodyguards entered, and upon seeing them, Bei Ran’s expression changed.

Gu Bohan walked in, "First, I’ve come to see my two precious grandchildren..."

Upon seeing Bei Ran, however, his face immediately turned stern, then he said in a severe tone: "Miss Bei, when did you come back?"

Bei Ran had no choice but to reply, "Just returned!"

Gu Bohan signaled to her, "Come out and talk!"

Bei Ran then said to Song Xiaoyin, "Aunt, please take good care of the two children!"

As she walked out, Tian Xin followed her.

In another room, Bei Ran faced the cold and stern Gu Bohan, "I just missed the children too much, so I came back to see them..."

"Miss Bei, it seems you never actually left City A, have you!" Gu Bohan was too shrewd, and he outright revealed her secret.

Tian Xin spoke up righteously, "Why does Bei Ran have to leave? Just because you’re rich and powerful, you think you can bully others? Do you know how hard it was for her, a mother of twins, to raise them alone? All you care about is that they carry the Gu Family’s bloodline. Don’t they belong to the Bei Family too? You’ve already forced Gu Qingchen back to the company; why do you also have to drive Bei Ran away? What law has she broken that she must leave City A and her children behind?"

"You’re nothing but a stubborn old fool! You’re going to end up isolated and abandoned!" Tian Xin couldn’t help but stamp her foot and said, "Do you know how much damage to the children’s souls there will be without their parents by their side? All you care about is your own reputation and interests. You don’t know what true love is! You heartlessly tear apart a family, you’re going to end up in the eighteenth level of hell!"

Gu Bohan couldn’t take being lectured by someone younger, and he immediately ordered his bodyguards, "Throw this woman out! And teach her a harsh lesson!"

One bodyguard went to grab Tian Xin, while the other pulled out a long whip.

Without a word, he lashed out at Tian Xin.

"Stop!" Bei Ran rushed forward to shield her, taking the whip’s blows without hesitation...

One lash, two lashes, three lashes...

"Bei Ran..." Tian Xin watched her dear friend being whipped, growing even angrier as she cursed, "You miserable old man! You’re going to die soon, and when you do, no one will mourn you..."

Although Bei Ran shielded her, both women were whipped to varying degrees...

At this moment, Gu Bohan looked at them and said, "Bei Ran, you brought this upon yourself!"

Song Xiaoyin ran over at this point, her face flushed with urgency as she charged at Gu Bohan, "Gu Bohan, you lunatic, why are you beating them? It was I who asked them to come, if anyone, come at me!"

Gu Bohan pushed Song Xiaoyin away with one hand: "We’ll settle your account later! Don’t think that just because I agreed to let you take the children that you can just go out and dine with anyone you please!"

"What do you think children are? Your private property?" Song Xiaoyin pointed at Gu Bohan’s nose and scolded, "They are independent individuals, not the assets of the Gu Family, nor yours! Gu Bohan, you human without any... right, you scum...!"

"I’m telling you now, I’m taking the children away from you!" Song Xiaoyin said furiously.

Gu Bohan scoffed: "Oh? Not afraid that the scandal will go public? Not afraid that old Mr. Song will rise from his grave to find you?"

"That’s not my fault!" Song Xiaoyin was close to exploding, "It’s your shamelessness that created the scandal!"

"But someone from the Song Family is the main character, aren’t they?" Gu Bohan said, "Don’t try to provoke me, or else I won’t let old Mr. Song rest in peace underground. Also, do you want the domestic scandal that has just died down to be stirred up again?"

Song Xiaoyin was so angry she was at a loss for words.

"Stay put!" Gu Bohan instructed, "If you don’t want the Song Family to collapse, then act wisely! Most importantly, as for Bei Ran, I’ve made my stance clear today. I’ve already found a suitable wife for Qingchen. If you want to stay quietly in City A, you best keep a low profile! If you wish to see the children, you can apply through me. If you meet with them privately like this again, next time, I can’t guarantee that the Song Family scandal won’t be exposed again."

Song Xiaoyin was so angry she sat down on the ground.

Enduring the pain, Bei Ran approached her, "Auntie, how are you? Are you uncomfortable anywhere? Shall I take you to the hospital, is that alright?"

Tian Xin, also in pain, came over, "Auntie, yes, please don’t scare us, and don’t get angry with such a man, it’s not worth harming your health..."

Song Xiaoyin gazed at Bei Ran, "I’m sorry, Bei Ran... I failed to protect you, I have no face to see Qingchen..."

"It’s not your fault, Auntie..." Although Bei Ran didn’t know what the Song Family scandal was, it was obviously something that deeply hurt Song Xiaoyin, "Auntie, I’m fine, it’s just skin and flesh wounds..."

"I’m fine too..." Song Xiaoyin got up and told Tian Xin, "Tian Xin, you and Bei Ran go to the hospital first! I’ll take the children back. I didn’t bring the kids here just now; I don’t want them to be caught up in the adults’ grudges and disputes..."

"I understand, Auntie, you’re protecting them..." Bei Ran held her hand tightly.

Song Xiaoyin looked at Bei Ran with heartache, "Go first! It’s me who owes you an apology... I will do everything in my power to take care of the children..."

"It’s okay now, Auntie, stop blaming yourself!" Bei Ran nodded, "Tian Xin and I will leave first!"

After Bei Ran and Tian Xin left, Song Xiaoyin said to Gu Bohan, "You might as well get in your coffin early! It’s best if you take the Song Family’s scandal with you!"

Having said that, Song Xiaoyin turned and walked away.

Gu Bohan’s gaze darkened, and he remained silent.

His assistant reminded him, "Chairman, it’s about time for your dinner meeting with the deputy mayor Song!"

"Right!" Gu Bohan nodded, "Let’s go!"

After Tian Xin and Bei Ran had left, Bei Ran saw that Tian Xin was also injured: "I’m sorry, Tian Xin..."

"Look at you, your injuries are even more severe than mine..." Tian Xin observed her, "Why are you even saying sorry? Bei Ran, I always thought you and Gu Qingchen were on your way to happiness, but who knew the Gu Family’s stubborn old man would treat you this way... He even wants to find a wife for Qingchen!"

Despite the pain, Bei Ran said, "Right now, the main issue is the Song Family scandal. I’m thinking, this matter not only threatens Auntie but Qingchen too. If we don’t resolve this, we’ll always be under Gu Bohan’s control. As for the wife that Gu Bohan is finding for Qingchen, I trust him. He won’t marry off easily. Look, he has never been intimate with Ji Su, which shows he’s a man of deep feelings and loyalty. Perhaps he’s known about Ji Su and Gu Yucheng’s relationship for a long time. Today he told me something. He said Ji Su and Gu Yucheng have been in love for a long time, and all along, he was just an outsider..."

"So what are you planning to do now?" Tian Xin helped her to sit down, "Ask Auntie about the Song Family scandal? Then resolve it?"
