Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

The bedroom couldn’t block out the sounds from outside. Every word of Li’s mom’s wailing about ’I can’t live anymore’ and ’they are so unfilial’ reached their ears.

However, this did not affect the mood of the young couple. Both were busy with their own tasks as if the incident just now was completely uninteresting and never happened.

Li Yan lounged lazily on the bed, nonchalantly saying, ”Let’s go back a day earlier.”

He didn’t want to continue living in the constant chaos, and besides, it was unfair to Gu Tong.

”It’s not appropriate to leave now.”

Just the recent incident alone was enough for relatives to gossip about, and if they left abruptly, who knows what rumors would spread.

Though Gu Tong didn’t care about these rumors, she also didn’t want Li Yan to be accused of being heartless and unfilial to his mother.

”We can say there’s something at the Academy.”

This excuse, he had used countless times, yet it always worked like a charm.

Gu Tong lowered her eyes slightly, not responding directly but instead said leisurely.

”Don’t you think it’s strange... my scarf is from E country, the brand tag is in the corner, and you wouldn’t see it unless you looked closely... When my brother gave it to me, I didn’t even recognize the brand, I thought it was a roadside good...”

City girls are like that, but it shows that Li’s mom is a well-versed rural woman. She has an eye for details, recognizing the scarf’s origin and even mentioning its price.

Isn’t this a bit too...

”What do you mean?”

Li Yan’s eyes darkened slightly. He missed this detail.

”I...I don’t mean anything...just feel it’s strange...”

This was Gu Tong’s true feeling. It was better to let Li Yan handle this perplexing issue than to rack her brain without finding an answer.

”Based on my mom’s personality, she should...”

...

’Bang bang bang――――’ Urgent knocking on the door sounded.

The words Li Yan was about to say were interrupted.

”Li Yan, you should come out and see, your mom has fainted...” The one knocking was none other than Li Yan’s aunt, Li’s mom’s younger sister.

...

Fainted!

The couple exchanged glances and both saw disbelief in each other’s eyes.

”What happened? Mom was perfectly fine...how could she suddenly faint...”

Gu Tong opened the door, her face now showing concern and worry.

The aunt was annoyed, thinking, if it wasn’t for you making her upset, how would she faint? ”She fainted while talking, and her heart rate was exceptionally fast. Now your other aunt is preparing to go to the hospital!”

In this situation, she couldn’t be left lying at home. If anything happened, they would regret it deeply.

Li Yan, who was silent, pondered for a moment, ”Then let’s go to the hospital.” He grabbed the black coat from the hanger, ready to put it on.

”You don’t have to go.” The aunt frowned, saying, ”Your wife can go, you stay at home in case anything happens.”

”Why?” Li Yan frowned tightly, such a statement was too far-fetched, after all, he was the son.

”Just listen to your aunt... If she says no need for you to go, just stay at home, we’ll be back soon...”

The aunt’s eyes were a little dodgy, she guiltily nudged Gu Tong, saying, ”You...you still haven’t put on your clothes, don’t delay your mother-in-law’s treatment...”

It was obvious that the aunt wanted to send Gu Tong away. If the couple still couldn’t see there was something fishy, then there might be a problem with their intelligence.

But what exactly was the aunt’s intention with this? Since when did Li family’s matters get decided by her? ...They all felt puzzled in their hearts.
