Chapter 885: Gu Mohan is Really Back
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huo Yanmei had already had enough of her life a long time ago!
Three years ago, the Young Master Gu, Gu Tianling of the Capital had fallen in love at first sight with Lin Xuanji. She was Lin Xuanji’s best friend, but had secretly fallen in love with Gu Tianling. She was completely head over heels in love with him.
She used every ploy she could come up with to become Mrs Gu, but except for the one time he was drunk, Gu Tianling had never touched her.
She had been in this empty marriage for so many years, and was already so depressed and frustrated that she was ready to die.
Enough.
She had had enough with this life!
At this moment, his large palms suddenly relaxed. Gu Tianling let go of her. “Huo Yanmei, I made a promise to Xuanji before that I would protect you for life. I won’t go back on that promise.”
With that, Gu Tianling turned and left.
Huo Yanmei’s pupils dilated, and she collapsed on the carpet. What was he saying?
He said that he had once made a promise with Lin Xuanji to protect her for life?
Huo Yanmei clutched the carpet tightly, as large droplets of tears started falling down from her eyes. She wept openly and loudly.
So the truth was that Lin Xuanji had already seen through her a long time ago. She had sought out Gu Tianling herself a long time ago, to make him promise that he would protect her his whole life. Why?
Lin Xuanji had already planned her entire life out all those years ago.
So this was why the all-powerful Young Master Lu, Karghalik’s Young Master Jun and Young Master Gu had all fallen in love with Lin Xuanji all those years ago. It was because of her unique charm and personality. Never once had she owed anyone her love or feelings.
“Ha... haha.”
Huo Yanmei was like a crazy fool, laughing and crying at the same time.
...
In the room.
Gu Mohan opened his eyes slowly. He looked at the chandelier above him for a few seconds before his focus returned to him.
Getting out of the bed, he picked out a black shirt from his wardrobe.
The bedroom door was pushed open as Yan Dong rushed in, flustered. “President, something bad has happened...”
In the next second, Yan Dong froze. His gaze landed on the tall windows.
A tall figure was standing at the window. Gu Mohan had changed into a custom-made black shirt and crisp black trousers, which only served to elongate his long legs. His shirt was slightly unbuttoned, revealing his attractive collarbones. His eyes were lowered, and he was fastening his silver cufflinks.
The light from the chandelier was reflected across his handsome face. He had an air of indescribable maturity around him and was elegant and distinguished.
Yan Dong jolted back to the present with a start and murmured, “President...”
Hearing him, Gu Mohan looked sideways at him. He moved his lips. “Always knock before you enter. Do I have to teach you basic manners?”
Yan Dong rejoiced. He knew it. His President was back!
“It’s my fault, President!” Yan Dong felt as though he finally had his support back. President was back. His pillar of support was back!
Gu Mohan buttoned up his shirt, the expensive watch on his sturdy wrist gleaming. He swept the room with his deep eyes and asked, “Mo’er and Niuniu have been taken by Old Madam Lu?”
“Yes, President. I was about to report that something bad has happened. Old Madam Lu is back!” Yan Dong lowered his voice. At the mention of Old Madam Lu, his expression became one of both awe and fear. “President, Old Madam Lu really is an imposing figure. Just now... when President was still in a stupor, she broke Old Master’s waist! He is lying in the hospital now.
“Not only that, Madam Xuanji was there as well. She... she slapped Madam four times, causing Madam to collapse on the floor and cry. Master was here too, and he lost all his wits when he saw Madam Xuanji. This entire family is relying on Mrs Gu. They’ll be finished if this goes on!”
Yan Dong stole a look at Gu Mohan’s expression as he spoke. “President, Old Madam Lu has said that she wants to bring Young Madam and Little Master away and let President... play by himself!” The appearance of Old Madam Lu and Madam Xuanji immediately knocked out the entire Gu Family. The battle was too one-sided.
Now they had barricaded their front door, waiting for President to go to them. They were probably going to ask President to kneel until he fainted once he got there.
Yan Dong sighed in his heart. It was true that whoever fooled around would eventually have to pay the price.
Gu Mohan’s handsome face betrayed no emotions, but he frowned subconsciously. These people were going to be hard to deal with.
His lips curved into a faint smile. He was only gone for a mere two months, and already had to clean up this huge mess!
Not only did he have to deal with these events, there was the matter of Gu Xiao’er and Tang Mo’er’s mutual agreement of divorce as well. One of them wanted to split his fortune and the other wanted to sell his son. Both of them were really asking to be dealt with by him!
Gu Mohan took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
Yan Dong was extremely curious. Who was President calling at this time?
The call went through, and a low, magnetic voice was transmitted over. “Hello?”
Lu Jinwen!
President called Father-in-law!
“Dad.” Gu Mohan pressed his thin lips together. “I’ll be heading over later and you have to help me.”
“On what grounds?” He spoke reluctantly and haughtily, his tone that of a father-in-law talking to his son-in-law.
Gu Mohan raised his sharp brows, and his thin lips curved into a faint smile. “Dad, do you still remember... Lin Siyu?”
Lin Siyu was the woman Lu Jinwen had kept in his seaview bungalow. He had once pampered her with jewels and properties for a period of time.
Lu Jinwen had no women by his side all these years, except for Lin Siyu.
His voice turned low. “Gu Mohan, how dare you threaten me?”
“Dad, let’s speak cordially. My mother-in-law is your wife after all!”
The other end went silent as Lu Jinwen gritted his teeth and hung up the phone angrily.
Gu Mohan put down his phone, satisfied.
...
Lanshan Garden was enormous. Tang Chenyi had brought Jun Xiqing and Mei’er to the forest at the back to go hunting, and Lu Jinwen sent people to look for them.
Tang Mo’er stood on the balcony in her room. A gust of cold wind blew over. She stretched her delicate hands out and droplets of cold rain splattered onto her arm.
It was raining outside. The autumn rains were chilly, and Tang Mo’er felt cold, so she wrapped her arms around her slim shoulders.
At this moment, there was a flurry of footsteps. Someone was here.
Tang Mo’er lowered her long lashes to look downstairs. A tall, dashing figure was standing on the lawn outside. It was Gu Mohan.
As it was raining outside, Yan Dong held a black umbrella over his head. Droplets of rain fell from the umbrella onto the lawn, soaking his black trousers.
He suddenly raised his eyes to look upstairs.
Tang Mo’er immediately entered his vision. His eyes were profound and calm and emanated quiet strength.
Thump. Tang Mo’er’s heart was pounding. In an instant, she knew that the real Gu Mohan was back. He had entered her sight so defenselessly and strongly she hadn’t been able to prepare herself at all.
