Chapter 266 Gu Yujue's Stepmother Repents
At the same time, Gu Yuxuan came to Gu's house and saw Xiao Lili kneeling on the ground crying, so he hurried to her side and said, "Mom, what happened?" His eyes were full of anxiety and concern. As he spoke, he reached out to help Xiao Lili up.
When Old Master Gu saw Gu Yuxuan, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he snorted coldly, "Gu Yuxuan, what are you doing back here? Don't you hate the Gu family the most? Did you come here to see the good things your mother has done? Don't you hate being a member of the Gu family the most?"
Old Master Gu's words were like a sharp icicle, piercing Gu Yuxuan's heart. He half-stretched his hand to help Xiao Lili up, but it froze in mid-air, his face filled with surprise and grievance. "Grandpa, how could you say that? How could I hate the Gu family, hate being a member of the Gu family?" Gu Yuxuan's voice trembled unconsciously, and his eyes were full of hurt.
When Xiao Lili heard what Old Master Gu said, she cried even harder. She held Gu Yuxuan's hand tightly and said with a thick nasal voice, "Xuan'er, it's Mom's fault for making you suffer.
If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to leave the Gu family. I know you hate being a member of the Gu family, but blood is thicker than water after all. Don't talk back to your grandfather. It's all Mom's fault."
Gu Yuxuan looked at his mother's haggard appearance, and his heart ached. He gently patted Xiao Lili's hand and said, "Mom, don't say that. If you didn't want me to have a place in the Gu family, how could you do something so unreasonable? Mom, promise me, okay? Don't do this kind of thing again. I'm not interested in the Gu family's property. Please don't think about me anymore, okay?"
Afterwards, Gu Yuxuan looked at Old Master Gu with a firm gaze, his tone sincere and resolute: "Grandpa, I know it was my mother who did something wrong. I will take responsibility for my mother's mistakes. I also hope that you will show me the family rules. As a son, I should take responsibility for my mother."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Gu was startled at first, then a complex emotion flashed across his eyes: surprise and a subtle touch of emotion. But soon, his serious expression returned to normal. "You're responsible? What can you be responsible for? For so many years, you've been living a carefree life outside, completely ignoring family matters. Now that something's wrong, you think a few big words can solve it?"
Gu Yuxuan lowered his head slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Grandpa, I was ignorant before. I always felt that the rules of the family were too restrictive for me, so I wanted to escape. But when I came back this time and saw my mother like this, I realized how naive I was. I am a descendant of the Gu family and can no longer evade my responsibilities.
The old man of the Gu family turned around and looked at Xiao Lili, and scolded: "Look at the good son you raised, and then look at you, Xiao Lili, if Gu Yuxuan hadn't pleaded for you, I would definitely kick you out of the Gu family.
After hearing this, Xiao Lili looked at her son in front of her and burst into tears, saying, "Xuan'er, Mom is sorry for making you bear all this for me. Mom was too confused. I always did so many stupid things for Xiao Ruoya, and almost hurt your brother and sister-in-law. It's all Mom's fault! I was blinded by Xiao Ruoya calling me aunt, and did so many wrong things, which implicated you and the entire Gu family." Her voice was filled with tears, and every word seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
Gu Yuxuan's eyes were red. He held his mother's hand again and said firmly, "Mom, don't say that. This is not your fault alone. I am also responsible. If it weren't for me, how could you do such a thing? Mom, you have to promise me that we will not care about Xiao Ruoya anymore, okay? Let her fend for herself, okay? We don't owe her anything, okay?"
Old Master Gu looked at the mother and son. Although his anger had not yet completely dissipated, Gu Yuxuan's words and his attitude did touch the old man's heart. He snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, I hope you can really do what you say. Since you are so protective of your mother, from now on, you will keep a close eye on her and don't let her get into any more trouble."
Gu Yuxuan nodded quickly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I won't let my mother contact Xiao Ruoya again! Don't worry."
At this time, Gu Yujue and Qin Niannian arrived at the Gu family's house. Seeing Xiao Lili kneeling on the ground, Gu Yujue snorted coldly and said, "At this point, do you think kneeling down can solve the problem? You have indulged Xiao Ruoya time and time again before. We have given you chances, but she has become even more aggressive. She actually wants to kill Nian Nian and take her place. If I hadn't blocked the knife, I'm afraid it wouldn't be me who ended up in the intensive care unit."
"Xiao Lili, although you are not my biological mother, we have been living in peace for a long time. But you have hurt my wife time and again for Xiao Ruoya. What is your intention?" Gu Yujue's eyes were full of disappointment and anger, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
Qin Niannian stood aside, looking at the heartbroken Xiao Lili and the determined Gu Yuxuan, feeling a mixture of emotions. She gently tugged at Gu Yujue's sleeve and whispered, "Yujue, don't say that. Your stepmother knows she was wrong now. Please don't be angry! She was just blinded by Xiao Ruoya and did those things in a moment of confusion."
Gu Yujue turned his head and looked at Qin Niannian, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes filled with complicated emotions: "Niannian, you don't know how much harm her indulgence has brought us. Xiao Ruoya almost harmed you and the child, how can I let it go so easily?"
Qin Niannian sighed slightly and looked gently at Xiao Lili who was kneeling on the ground: "I know those things are serious, but her current state is really distressing. Besides, Gu Yuxuan is back. He defended his mother so much, so let's give her another chance. As a family, it's inevitable that we make mistakes."
At this time, Gu Yuxuan also looked at Gu Yujue and said earnestly: "Brother, I know that a lot of things happened when I was not at home before, and you suffered a lot of grievances. But this time I came back just to solve all these problems. I promise you that I will never let something like this happen again in the future."
Gu Yujue looked at his brother in front of him, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He knew very well that Gu Yuxuan had not been interested in family affairs before and was always working outside. Now that he stood up for the family, it was clear that he really wanted to take responsibility.
Old Master Gu sat aside, observing all this quietly. Although he didn't say anything, he was thinking in his heart. He had seen Xiao Lili's efforts over the years, but this time Xiao Ruoya's incident was too serious, so he had to deal with it harshly.
Seeing everyone speaking up for her, Xiao Lili felt both touched and guilty. She raised her head and looked at Gu Yujue and Qin Niannian with tears in her eyes: "Yujue, Niannian, I really know I was wrong. I don't ask you to forgive me right away, I just ask you to give me a chance to make up for my mistakes."
Gu Yujue was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Okay, I can give you another chance, but this is really the last time. You must remember not to let us down again."
When Xiao Lili heard that Gu Yujue was willing to give her another chance, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes. She nodded quickly and said excitedly: "Thank you, Yujue, thank you Nian Nian, I will definitely cherish this opportunity, and I swear I will never let you down again." As she spoke, she wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, her eyes full of determination.
