Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Quarrel
This sudden change left Yan Yuexian and Gong Sirui completely stunned.
Before they could react, Mrs. Gong’s angry voice boomed from the phone, “Gong Sirui, come back immediately. With that woman, there’s no place for me. She’ll only enter this house over my dead body!”
With that, the call was abruptly ended.
Yan Yuexian’s face turned pale.
Her mind went blank, and her hands and feet began to feel cold.
How could this happen? Everything was fine just a moment ago; why the sudden change?
Could it be…
The thought of a certain possibility sent a chill down Yan Yuexian’s spine. Could the events of back then have been discovered?
No!
Impossible, her brother had sealed the information; it should never be discovered.
She seemed to think of something terrifying, and her breathing began to quicken.
“Yuexian.”
Gong Sirui, alarmed by her condition, quickly grabbed her hand.
He found her hand frighteningly cold.
“Yuexian, what’s wrong with you?”
In his panic, Gong Sirui tried to cradle her face, but unexpectedly, Yan Yuexian reacted as if suddenly provoked, slapping his hand away.
“Don’t touch my face!”
With a slap, Gong Sirui’s hand turned red.
Yan Yuexian snapped out of it, suddenly grabbing Gong Sirui’s hand, “Brother Rui, does it hurt?”
“I’m fine. What’s wrong with you?”
Yan Yuexian’s eyes were filled with guilt, “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t think too much. Maybe something happened with my mom. I’ll go check and let you know.”
Yan Yuexian pressed her lips and said nothing. Afraid she might overthink, Gong Sirui comforted her for a while before turning to leave.
Meanwhile, Father Gong and Mrs. Gong headed straight back to the Gong Family.
Father Gong was a Cabinet member, possessing the acumen and sophistication of a politician.
Mrs. Gong was a true Arabian, intelligent, beautiful, with the royal grace of a princess.
When Gong Sirui returned home, the two of them were sitting on the sofa in the living room, their faces stern, their anger unabated.
“Mom, what were you angry about just now? How did Yuexian offend you?”
Gong Sirui’s tone was less than pleasant. His heart ached at the thought of Yan Yuexian’s pale face earlier.
She didn’t do anything wrong; why should she be scolded?
Moreover, the words were so harsh.
As soon as Mrs. Gong heard the name Yuexian, her anger flared anew.
She wanted to lash out, but seeing it was her beloved son, and not that woman, she couldn’t bring herself to unleash her fury.
Yet, the fire of anger in her heart wouldn’t subside, “Sirui, you’ve been deceived by that woman. A dignified Presidential Mansion’s daughter, who would have thought she was such a person!
Quickly break up with her, cut off all ties. Thank God she hasn’t married into our Gong Family, or we’d be doomed by her!”
Hearing this, Gong Sirui’s expression darkened even more.
He knew very well what kind of person Yan Yuexian was. Though occasionally a little headstrong, she was fundamentally kind.
But his mother wasn’t someone to cause a fuss without reason; something must have gone wrong here.
Mrs. Gong really wanted to scold Yan Yuexian, but knowing how her son had always defended that woman, there must be genuine feelings involved.
She disliked Yan Yuexian but didn’t want her son to be hurt.
If he found out that the woman he’d always cared for was like that, he’d surely be heartbroken.
So Mrs. Gong, with a cold face, said, “In any case, listen to your mother and break up with her. A woman like that doesn’t deserve to marry into our Gong Family!”
Gong Sirui’s expression instantly changed, “Impossible!”
He wouldn’t break up with Yan Yuexian!
