Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 304: 304: Took away her ”Get Out of Death Free” card

Gu Mama looked at her daughter with deep affection and kindness, but it was enough to make Gu Tong tremble...

Gu Mama’s name is Feng Shulan. She comes from a prominent family, a lady of noble birth, a socialite. From a young age, she received an excellent education. She is exceptionally talented, skilled in zither, chess, painting, and calligraphy, and her manners are elegant. Even though she is middle-aged, her charm remains undiminished. She is indeed a rare beauty.

Young ladies from noble families emphasize temperament, and particularly, skills in Qi Cultivation and emotional control are compulsory courses for them.

Since Gu Tong could remember, she had never seen her own mother lose her temper. After each mishap, her ’old mother’ would replace her expression with one as gentle as water, take her aside, and give her a good scolding.

Imagine...

Gu Mama, swaying with graceful movements, wielding a feather duster, while sweetly speaking, perfectly composed, as serene as a chrysanthemum, is simply laughter hiding a knife, exuding a murderous intent!

This was even scarier than Dad’s shoe sole...

”Mom...” Gu Xiaotong’s legs went soft.

She knelt, she was wrong...

She sincerely wanted to reform and start anew...

Gu Mama Feng Shulan’s smile grew wider, her bright eyes focused on her, and she said with a light smile, ”I missed you so much, where did you go?”

Missing her wasn’t the point, the point was where she went...

”I just got married...” At this moment, nothing was more useful than marriage as a life-saving word.

Gu Tong cleverly brought it up, saying, ”Mom... I, I told Dad, didn’t he tell you...”

Dad’s key role was to take the blame. This was a ’traditional rule’ she had long established from childhood.

To know a daughter better than her mother; if Feng Shulan didn’t know her own daughter was lying, that would truly be a joke.

Her clear eyes glanced at Li Yan nearby, gradually reining in her attitude, saying, ”Come inside quickly, since you’re here, why bring so many things.”

Perhaps considering the new son-in-law, Feng Shulan didn’t act out. In fact, this was quite normal.

After all, it was outside the yard, the son-in-law was visiting for the first time, and as a mother-in-law, she couldn’t show displeasure. If others saw, they might think she was dissatisfied with this marriage.

The maternal family is always there to give the daughter face, at least to let the son-in-law know their affection for the daughter and her importance in the family. She couldn’t afford to hold back, causing trouble. Feng Shulan, being from a distinguished family, adhered to these rules even more.

It was precisely because of these rules that Gu Tong’s little life was saved...

Gu Tong was incredibly relieved that today was the return home visit. If Li Yan hadn’t been by her side, she might have been doomed by now...

Feng Shulan elegantly turned around, stepping on the hexagonal stone path, leading her newly married daughter and son-in-law into the small courtyard. She lightly pushed open the small door and called inside, ”Old Gu, they’re back.”

Gu Tiancheng, wearing glasses, was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. He adjusted his black-framed glasses and could see their position through his peripheral vision.

He laughed heartily and said, ”Li Yan, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you to play chess with me, come on, let’s go inside.”

Saying this, he almost instantly bounced up, grabbed Li Yan, and ran upstairs, completely indifferent.

The parcel Li Yan was carrying fell to the ground, making him somewhat confused.

However, considering the other person was his superior and father-in-law, he didn’t dare refuse and could only comply and follow Gu Tiancheng upstairs.

Everything happened too quickly, there wasn’t even a chance to catch his breath.

Gu Tong stretched out her fingers, wanting to stop them, but she couldn’t even grab Li Yan’s coat corner...

She was about to curse! Dad’s scheme was masterful, taking away her get-out-of-jail-free card. How could she keep her head now...
