Chapter Forty-Four: Will You Listen or Not?
Gu Tingyan's attempt to break Xu Rou's legs constitutes intentional assault!
Seeing her son's slender frame, resembling a lawbreaker, Li Yan glared at Xu Rou's figure, gritting her teeth and suppressing the urge to punch her.
Downstairs, Gu Tingyan was furious and lacked reason. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Rou.
He was genuinely afraid that Xu Rou would leave his world, so he gripped her wrist very tightly.
Xu Rou stumbled and almost fell.
Her wrist was pinched painfully, leaving red marks on her fair skin. She angrily shouted, "You madman! Let me go!"
Her eyes were brimming with tears; she looked so pitiful.
If Xu Rou weren't pretending, she would actually look like a resilient, innocent girl who would rather die than submit to a domineering CEO.
But she's not.
Taking advantage of Gu Tingyan's unwavering affection for her, Xu Rou casually provoked Gu Tingyan's fragile nerves.
Sure enough, Gu Tingyan went berserk, his eyes bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Impossible! Even if I die, I will never let you go!"
The argument between the two made Li Yan's heart pound. She quickly grabbed the handrail and hopped downstairs.
If it weren't for her injured foot, she would have rushed over, pulled her son away, and handed Xu Rou a large bag.
She noticed her second son was also there, his face dark and gloomy, and her heart skipped a beat.
Instantly, an ominous premonition spread through Li Yan's heart.
"Gu Tingyan!"
Gu Tingyu witnessed his brother threatening and coercing Xu Rou again, and even made her cry. He couldn't help but swing his clenched fist at Gu Tingyan.
That gesture was fierce, showing no mercy.
He no longer treats Gu Tingyan as his older brother.
"Gu Tingyu! Don't hit your brother!"
Li Yan's pupils contracted in fright, and she screamed in a broken voice, trying to stop her second son.
As a result, it had no effect whatsoever.
Both brothers were in a berserk state and fought again over Xu Rou.
Li Yan was so angry with them that she cried, her almond-shaped eyes blurring her vision with tears.
With her mind completely absorbed in the fight between the two brothers, Li Yan ignored the pain in her foot and slid down to kneel towards Gu Tingyan, who had been knocked to the ground.
Her skin was delicate and fragile, and after rubbing against the floor, her knees turned red in no time.
Gu Tingyan touched the blood at the corner of his mouth. He wanted to get up and continue his counterattack, but he was pulled into a warm and familiar embrace.
The boiling violence within his blood suddenly cooled down.
Li Yan knelt on the ground, holding Gu Tingyan's head, looking at Gu Tingyu with tears in her eyes, and cursed loudly.
"Gu Tingyu, do you even have a heart?"
"Is Xu Rou that important to you? You'd even hit your own brother for her?"
"Do you know how much it hurts me to see you like this?!"
"Do you have to drive me crazy before you're satisfied?"
After giving her second son a thorough dressing-down, Li Yan then extended her affections to Gu Tingyan as well.
"You've disappointed me greatly, fighting over a woman!"
"In your world, is it impossible to live without this so-called 'love' nonsense?!"
"If that's the case, your own father is gone, so shouldn't I have died long ago?"
Gu Tingyan was held in Li Yan's arms, and he could feel his mother's chest heaving with anger.
His mother's words, spoken with a sob and anger, continued to pound against his heart.
My gaze fell again on the white gauze wrapped around my mother's feet, now stained with specks of red.
But his gaze toward Xu Rou remained unwavering, his fists clenched tightly.
Holding her son's tense body, Li Yan suddenly asked, "Ayan, I'm asking you one last time, will you listen to me and release Xu Rou?"
