Became a vicious male mother

42, Stubborn

Gu Xinglan almost lost control of her expression.

What kind of answer is this? They even asked him a question in return.

“That’s your own son, so young.” Gu Xinglan pointed to her thigh with her palm: “Putting aside the danger, on a rainy day, you, as a parent, left a child of only a few years old outside alone, especially in bad weather, and the child even had a fever. If I hadn’t found out, do you know what he might have faced?”

"What about your responsibilities as a father?"

Gu Xinglan frowned deeply. These words seemed to be buried deep in her heart, a reflexive memory brought over from her past life.

The stimulus that triggers the reflex is this kind of cheap parent that we've all faced countless times.

As soon as he finished speaking, cold sweat broke out all over his back.

The person he was questioning wasn't an office worker, a nouveau riche, or an unemployed person; it was Li Taihe, someone who could kill him with a wave of his hand...

K: [You have violated your character setting. Your three minutes have been deducted. Although I don't understand your strange human behavior, this administrator would like to say: rationality comes first.]

“Um…” Gu Xinglan’s gaze darted around, and she finally stole a weak glance at the man. The man didn’t react, and there was even a hint of interest in his expression. Gu Xinglan stammered, “It’s just that, when a child is growing up, a father’s love is very important. He needs his father’s company and protection, especially since that child’s mother… If you let your negligence go unchecked today, little by little, it will accumulate, and in time, that child will definitely develop psychological problems…”

He sees that kid Li Hetai already has one.

But Gu Xinglan only thought these words to himself. He added, "After all, you only have this one child. You still have to pass the position on to him in the future, right?"

K: [Oh, so you're already using your husband's influence?]

Watching the person sitting next to me, who was getting more and more excited just a second ago, with their clear eyes filled with an unprecedented and fierce anger, but then suddenly becoming deflated and stammering.

Li Taihe clasped his hands together, rested his elbows on his knees, and leaned forward, looking very interested. He even seemed to agree with what Li Taihe was saying, nodding intermittently as Li Taihe spoke, and still staring at him thoughtfully with his eyes wide open.

What's unsettling is that he genuinely seemed focused on it.

Gu Xinglan lowered her head and looked at the tips of her shoes, remaining silent.

Unexpectedly, Li Taihe continued, "Can you stand up? Can we talk while you're standing?"

Gu Xinglan: "?"

This left him completely baffled.

Gu Xinglan moved her fingers and stood up from the sofa.

He had imagined that this person would tease or joke with him, but there was none of that. Instead, the atmosphere was so strange that it was almost suffocating.

Li Taihe held a suit jacket, and the imposing presence he exuded from his nearly two-meter height was unparalleled.

The shadow cast upon him loomed over him.

Before she knew it, her chin was cupped in the man's palm, like a kiss that was staged.

Gu Xinglan was as stiff as a heartless diamond in the mountains, frantically trying to pull his head back, but the man's grip was extremely strong. His palm covered Gu Xinglan's chin, his thumb pressed against his jaw, and one hand covered most of Gu Xinglan's face, preventing him from retreating.

They could only stay motionless in place.

Although their lips were not touching and they were even some distance apart, their breaths were intertwined like two snakes, locked together as if trying to strangle each other.

"What are you..."

"Shut up." Li Taihe closed his eyes, the curve of his lips was just right, and the tip of his nose was almost touching him.

Gu Xinglan trembled slightly, raised his right hand to push the other person's shoulder, and subconsciously wanted to push the person away a little, but the other person did not hesitate at all, quickly pinned his hand behind his back, and slapped his butt with the suit jacket.

Gu Xinglan could only watch helplessly as her safe social distance was violated.

I don't know how many seconds passed, it just felt incredibly long.

"Good reaction." Li Taihe opened his eyes.

His eyes were clear and deep, devoid of any ambiguity.

Gu Xinglan lowered her head.

He thought this person was going to kiss him, but nothing happened.

I have no idea what this person is up to.

Are you going back to the villa tonight?

Given this situation, how could he dare to reply? Gu Xinglan shook her head, barely managing to maintain a polite and respectable smile.

"Then I'll take my leave." As if on purpose, Li Taihe put away his previous domineering aura, placed his hand holding his clothes in front of his abdomen in a gentlemanly manner, and even lowered his posture, bowing slightly to him.

K: [Hidden plot... progress increased.]

Li Taihe's departure took away all the oppressive atmosphere, leaving Gu Xinglan alone in her disheveled state.

He cleared his throat and called out, "Wait a minute!"

"We're short...we're short of money."

All the money he had was in the Changgu villa; the original owner had no intention of keeping a single penny in the rented house.

Having already walked some distance, Li Taihe showed no sign of returning. From afar, his face was cold and hard, as if the ambiguity just now was nothing more than a lucid dream between sleep and wakefulness.

Gu Xinglan could only jog over.

"This is a reward, it's for you. If you need anything else, just call my assistant." After saying that, Li Taihe strode away.

It is a card bearing the emblem of the Li family patriarch.

The credit card in his hand was getting hot. There was no doubt that this card was a black card that allowed him to get around Wushui without any problems. If he wanted to buy a large apartment within the third ring road of Wushui, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

Gu Xinglan gripped the object in her hand tightly.

My mood has finally improved a bit.

……

The last rays of sunset over the Wushui River had completely disappeared below the horizon, like a grand curtain call. The Wushui River, which had shimmered during the day, was now completely filled with neon lights, stretching from its head to its tail, connecting the entire modern behemoth. It was a breathtaking sight of prosperity and solitude, light and darkness alternating in an instant.

Nightlife has begun.

Gu Xinglan slowly walked out of the ward area and into the hospital lobby.

With his purpose clear, he slowly walked to a white sofa, sat down, and said listlessly, "Come out."

"..."

Xu Mufeng hid behind the sofa, biting his lip and silently punching the floor.

"You...you know such a big boss, isn't he quite wealthy?" Xu Mufeng walked out from behind the scenes, looking rather awkward.

From the ward to the rest area just now, I don't know how many times this child has watched me.

"Hey kid, why did you suddenly stop me at the door when you were so eager for me to leave? Did you want to distract me and slip away?" Gu Xinglan looked rather listless after being harassed by Li Taihe, but at least the credit card in his hand still gave him the strength to deal with this kid.

"The door wasn't locked and my legs aren't broken, what's wrong with me going out for a stroll?" Xu Mufeng retorted.

Seeing this irresponsible attitude towards herself, Gu Xinglan sighed.

As he was leaving, he was interrupted by a child inside the house, especially since the child brought up another annoying topic. His thoughts naturally drifted elsewhere, and he no longer cared about whether the door was locked or not.

Once outside, they ran into Li Taihe again.

Could the Li family members imagine running away from home in his mind?

"Can't you just focus on getting better?"

Xu Mufeng didn't answer. He squatted down and looked at the card in Gu Xinglan's hand with great curiosity: "Is this called a bank card? I've seen it before. This card will spit out money when you insert it into the machine."

"If you stay here and recover, I'll buy you whatever you want."

Gu Xinglan placed the card in front of the child.

The card is exceptionally exquisite, with a black background and gold lettering, shimmering with iridescent light.

Xu Mufeng glanced at the card longingly, put his hands behind his back, and strolled leisurely towards Gu Xinglan, looking like a little adult. He pouted and mocked, "Not going to give a long speech? Not going to talk nonsense? Not going to play house?"

Only self-interest can motivate such a shrewd and stubborn child.

Gu Xinglan smiled and nodded: "How is it?"

"I don't like being hospitalized, and I don't have any broken arms or legs." Xu Mufeng's injuries were mostly bruises.

"How are your teeth? I heard from the doctor that your left tooth is loose."

Xu Mufeng: "I have a cavity on my left side. It would be best if it fell out. You don't need to worry about it."

Stubborn temper!
