CHAPTER 31: 031: ONLY HELP ONE’S OWN WIFE

Gu Tong’s serene smile turned cold, her eyes like black gemstones, icy and piercing as she said, "A child doesn’t find fault with a parent, and a dog doesn’t despise a poor home; you live according to the family you come from."

"I’m the only daughter in the Gu Family. My brother dotes on me, and it’s only natural for him to send me a scarf. Does mom think I shouldn’t wear these and should just burn them?"

"Previously, I gave mom a jade bracelet from Myanmar, which wasn’t cheaper than the scarf. If mom enjoyed reminiscing about hardships, why didn’t you smash it on the spot back then?"

Li’s mother touched Gu Tong’s bottom line, and it was her Achilles’ heel that she couldn’t tolerate at all. In this life, if anyone dared to take Li Yan away from her, she would dare to skin them alive!

Actually...

She struck back...

The relatives were dumbfounded.

What’s happening here...

"You... you... how dare you..."

Li’s mother’s eyes widened, almost bulging out, as she slammed the table and stood up, her voice trembling, "Li Yan, look! This is the good wife you married. Divorce her now, immediately! There’s no room for negotiation!"

"Of course there’s no negotiation. Our marriage is legally protected. Divorcing within a month of marriage—do you want Li Yan to be directly dismissed?"

Gu Tong’s eyes were icily fixed on Li’s mother, with a slight smile on her lips, as she said, "Or do you already have a plan, mom? Planning to tell the Academy that it was you who opposed the marriage, thus breaching the contract?"

"Yes... I’ll say that..."

She’s not a trainee, so the Academy can’t do anything to her; anyway, this marriage is bound to end!

"Mom, how can you have such a negative thought? Destroying a marriage leads to imprisonment, and it goes to the Royal Court. The lightest sentence is no less than three years in prison, right?"

Gu Tong spoke casually, as if discussing the weather being nice today.

Li’s mother took a step back. How could this be so serious... If that’s the case... then they couldn’t proceed with the divorce...

She thought of Wenjing and her own sworn promises, her face instantly turning ashen.

Gu Tong glanced at the relatives, capturing the terror on their faces. She always exacted revenge; otherwise, she wouldn’t have infiltrated the Mafia for years to avenge Li Yan.

She was an iron-willed heroine with unimaginable resilience!

"Haha, look how scared mom is; it was just a joke. How could I not be filial to Li Yan’s biological mother?"

Gu Tong laughed lightly, smoothing things over, and said, "I just wanted to assure mom that no one can ruin my marriage with Li Yan. Rest easy!"

Rest easy...

She was heartbroken...

This news was a deadly blow to Li’s mother, her heart felt as if it was being gouged.

Her Wenjing, what about her Wenjing...

"I’m tired, heading back to rest."

Li Yan set down his chopsticks and stood up.

This was a battle between wife and mother; helping either side was awkward... The relatives thought if only the child could mediate a little here and there, it wouldn’t be a problem.

"Are you full?"

Li Yan’s eyes were calm, showing no emotion.

"I’m full." Gu Tong put down her chopsticks.

Clearly, this was her husband signaling her to return to their room.

This time...

The relatives fully understood; Li Yan wasn’t helping no one, he was only helping his wife...
