Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Gu Tong, who only ever irritated her, actually thought of honoring her and went through great lengths to come back to show filial piety? The sun must be rising from the west.

Li’s mother thought over and over, always feeling something was amiss.

She stared at Gu Tong for a while and suddenly remembered something, ”Did you have a fight with Li Yan?”

Li’s mother was once a daughter-in-law too, and she had her own set of experiences as a wife.

If a wife had a fight with her husband and long-term reconciliation efforts were ineffective, many would choose to show respect to the husband’s mother, using the mother-in-law’s influence to gain forgiveness.

No matter how bad the relationship between Li’s mother and Li Yan was, they were still mother and son. Gu Tong might have been out of options and resorted to this tactic on her.

Li’s mother snorted at this, as these were tricks she had already outplayed.

Upon hearing Li’s mother’s words, Gu Tong was slightly stunned, then pondered for a moment before sniffing deliberately with grievance, ”He blames me for not being able to conceive...”

The purpose of her actions was obvious, to allay Li’s mother’s suspicion and shift the focus to infertility.

Previously, Gu Tong saw through Wenjing’s sinister plans, but she never tore the facade to expose her. Everyday, Wenjing sent chicken soup, and Gu Tong still accepted it.

Although the chicken soup ended up being dumped, Li’s mother had no knowledge of it.

”Blames you for not being able to have children?”

Li’s mother was inwardly overjoyed, but she didn’t show it much on her face. Instead, she frowned and said, ”This child, how could he be like this? You two haven’t been married long, and he’s already anxious for children. Continuing the family line is important, but there’s no need to rush.”

To Li’s mother’s reaction, Gu Tong felt mockery in her heart. Having dealt with this woman for so long, she clearly understood her hypocrisy and deceit.

As long as Li’s mother was in a dominant position, her demeanor would be much more amicable than usual; perhaps this is what is called hypocrisy.

”Can’t really blame him, it’s my fault too...”

Gu Tong pursed her lips, difficult to articulate, ”Originally, I was in good health, but recently, I don’t know what happened. I’ve been feeling weaker, and my cycles have become irregular. I was thinking there might be something wrong with my body and was planning to find time to get it checked...”

”Check it out? That won’t do!”

Li’s mother blurted out impulsively, which caused Gu Tong’s brow to furrow slightly. Realizing she had misspoken, she quickly added, ”What I mean is, when seeing a doctor, don’t go blindly. You need to find a suitable doctor for treatment, or else delaying it could become a lifelong matter...”

”You are young and don’t understand much. I’ve been in the village for so many years, seeing all kinds of domestic affairs and daughters’ issues. Many girls were healthy but ruined their bodies by listening to witch doctors, misleading them for life...”

The familiar feeling returned. Back then, Li’s mother used sweet words to manipulate Gu Tong, enchanting her, making her feel that Li’s mother truly cared for her.

”I’m really quite ignorant about this, have no experience at all...”

Gu Tong lowered her head, somewhat despondent, ”But I don’t even know if this is an illness. I’m just afraid of delaying it, so I always think about finding someone to check it out and solve the problem...”

A girl fearing illness and wanting to check and treat physical changes is also human nature.

In this regard, Li’s mother expressed understanding. Besides, the medicine was administered by her personally, so she understood the potency. Now any issue with Gu Tong’s body seemed normal, and there was nothing strange about it.
