Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

And as for Gu Tong, she was indeed very respectful and hesitant to cause trouble. If it weren’t absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t have proactively sought out trouble with Li’s mother.

Of course, this time the situation was different, so one couldn’t view it with common perceptions.

”You, you...”

Li’s mother was almost driven to rage; she never imagined in her wildest dreams that Li Yan would protect this little wench so unconditionally, as if she was the one bullying Gu Tong.

She was furious inside, saying, ”I have raised you for so many years! Yet I’m not as important as your wife? Do you have any conscience left? Are you an ungrateful creature?”

Li’s mother pounded her chest and stamped her feet, desperately venting her dissatisfaction, saying, ”You are simply too much. Are you trying to drive me to death! Do you think I’m in your way? If I die, would you find it more convenient then...”

She nonsensically blamed them, as if all the faults lay with the young couple.

Her commotion attracted more and more onlookers around the Zhao Family’s courtyard.

Of course, this wasn’t surprising given Li’s mother’s emotions. For so many years, she had focused on controlling Li Yan, ruling over everything as she pleased. Gu Tong’s appearance made her feel a loss of control. Naturally, she was unaccustomed to this and yelled desperately, saying anything unpleasant as she tried to regain her dominance.

Li Yan’s brows furrowed slightly, his face icy cold and grim.

”Whether you think you’re a nuisance! It’s all because of your own deeds!”

With these words, it was arguably the harshest thing Li Yan had ever said, as he had never been so rude to Li’s mother.

The gratitude of raising him outweighs the favor of giving birth. If it weren’t for Li’s mother’s incessant demands, Li Yan would have certainly been filial to her!

Even though things had reached this dire state, Li Yan was still dutiful to Li’s mother. He never skimped on money or anything she needed.

However, people are inherently insatiable!

Li’s mother was never satisfied, believing that these were things Li Yan should do, and she became increasingly unreasonable. If it weren’t for this, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.

”You, you...”

Li’s mother truly burst into tears, thoroughly losing face and reputation, making a laughingstock in such close proximity to the neighboring village. How would she face the villagers in the future?

She was on the verge of collapse, her heart full of hatred for Gu Tong. Without this daughter-in-law, how could Li Yan have ended up like this? Her bloodshot eyes glared at Gu Tong as if she wished to devour her, shouting desperately, ”I can’t go on living like this. The child I raised actually wants me to die because he thinks I’m an eyesore...”

The woman’s tactic of throwing a tantrum was a specialty of hers.

Rolling on the ground and playing rogue, as if everyone owed her something, it was all childish pranks at the end of the day.

The same disruptive behavior as when a child begs for candy but doesn’t get it.

Li Yan’s face was exceedingly unpleasant, a towering anger engulfing his entire being. He was acutely aware that he couldn’t stay here any longer, or else he might not be able to restrain himself!

”Certain Deputy!” Li Yan called out to the outside, everything clear without words.

The certain deputy who drove Li Yan here was still outside in the jeep, sitting in the driver’s seat, idly playing with the car keys. He fiddled with the keys, patiently waiting for Devil King to return.

However, he hadn’t been ’playing’ for long when he was startled by a sudden shout, jumping up directly.

His body lost a bit of control, his head hitting the roof of the vehicle, quickly shouting, ”Coming...”

The certain deputy was somewhat flustered, stumbling and rushing outside in no time, a dense sweat already formed on his forehead.

Having followed Devil King for a long time, he was particularly aware of Devil King’s temper. That shout made him unmistakably understand what kind of state Devil King was in...

He was certainly infuriated beyond measure...
