Chapter 325 Self-Deception
Gu Tingyan began to worry, frowning as he paced back and forth in the living room, anxious and helpless.
Finally, Gu Tingyan decided to go out and find Li Yan.
Based on the information Li Yan had previously revealed, he arrived at this upscale club.
When he pushed open the door and entered the private room, he saw Li Yan and Duan Yujing sitting intimately together, chatting and laughing.
Li Yan's face was flushed, and her eyes were fixed on Duan Yujing, as if everything around her did not exist.
Gu Tingyan's face immediately darkened. He strode over to Li Yan and grabbed her arm.
His voice was low and carried a hint of suppressed anger.
"Li Yan, what are you doing here?"
"Having so much fun, you didn't even reply to our calls and texts?"
Gu Tingyan held Li Yan tightly, as if afraid she would run away again.
Li Yan was startled by Gu Tingyan's sudden appearance. Her smile vanished instantly, replaced by surprise and embarrassment.
"Ah Yan, I... I didn't notice my phone ringing."
She tried to explain, but her voice lacked confidence.
When Duan Yujing saw Gu Tingyan arrive, he knew in his heart that he had no right to ask Li Yan to stay.
A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, silently stood up, and watched as Li Yan was pulled away by Gu Tingyan. He said nothing, only a trace of helplessness in his eyes.
Li Yan was pulled back by Gu Tingyan, and she kept looking back at Duan Yujing, her eyes filled with reluctance.
On the way, she secretly took out her phone and sent a message to Duan Yujing, her fingers rapidly tapping on the screen.
Gu Tingyan noticed Li Yan's subtle actions, which made him even angrier.
He stopped, turned around, stared intently at Li Yan, and said seriously, "Mom, are you treating Duan Yujing as a substitute for Dad?"
Li Yan raised her head, looked at Gu Tingyan, and explained, "Ayan, you've misunderstood."
Duan Yujing is your father; he is not dead.
Gu Tingyan listened to Li Yan's words as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
He couldn't help but laugh, his voice filled with disbelief: "Mom, are you dreaming?"
If your father were still alive, how could he not come looking for you immediately?
Stop deceiving yourself.
Gu Tingyan's eyes were full of suspicion, thinking that Li Yan must have had this misconception because she missed her father so much.
Li Yan knew that no matter what she said now, Gu Tingyan would not believe her.
He sighed helplessly, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
She stopped talking and silently followed Gu Tingyan to the parking lot.
After returning home, Li Yan's phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up and saw it was a message from Gu Suiwan, inviting her to meet up.
Li Yan wanted to agree, but Gu Tingyan watched her coldly from the side.
"Mom, you want to go out again? You've had enough fun today, you can't go out anymore."
Gu Tingyan's eyes held a hint of wariness.
Li Yan looked at Gu Tingyan and said helplessly, "Tingyan, it must be something important that my best friend invited me out. I have to go."
Gu Tingyan shook his head, his attitude resolute.
"Mom, I don't trust you anymore. Your behavior today has disappointed me greatly."
"If you're going out, I have to go with you," he said, crossing his arms.
Li Yan tried to persuade Gu Tingyan: "Ayan, don't do this. My friend probably just wants to talk to me alone. It's not good for you to go with her."
And I promise I won't do it again.
But Gu Tingyan remained unmoved and said firmly, "Mom, I don't care. I can't let you continue to be so willful."
