885 Gu Mohan is Really Back (1/2)

Huo Yanmei had already had enough of her life a long time ago!

Three years ago, the Young Master Gu, Gu Tianling of the Capital had fallen in love at first sight with Lin Xuanji. She was Lin Xuanji's best friend, but had secretly fallen in love with Gu Tianling. She was completely head over heels in love with him.

She used every ploy she could come up with to become Mrs Gu, but except for the one time he was drunk, Gu Tianling had never touched her.

She had been in this empty marriage for so many years, and was already so depressed and frustrated that she was ready to die.

Enough.

She had had enough with this life!

At this moment, his large palms suddenly relaxed. Gu Tianling let go of her. ”Huo Yanmei, I made a promise to Xuanji before that I would protect you for life. I won't go back on that promise.”

With that, Gu Tianling turned and left.

Huo Yanmei's pupils dilated, and she collapsed on the carpet. What was he saying?

He said that he had once made a promise with Lin Xuanji to protect her for life?

Huo Yanmei clutched the carpet tightly, as large droplets of tears started falling down from her eyes. She wept openly and loudly.

So the truth was that Lin Xuanji had already seen through her a long time ago. She had sought out Gu Tianling herself a long time ago, to make him promise that he would protect her his whole life. Why?

Lin Xuanji had already planned her entire life out all those years ago.

So this was why the all-powerful Young Master Lu, Karghalik's Young Master Jun and Young Master Gu had all fallen in love with Lin Xuanji all those years ago. It was because of her unique charm and personality. Never once had she owed anyone her love or feelings.

”Ha… haha.”

Huo Yanmei was like a crazy fool, laughing and crying at the same time.

…

In the room.

Gu Mohan opened his eyes slowly. He looked at the chandelier above him for a few seconds before his focus returned to him.

Getting out of the bed, he picked out a black shirt from his wardrobe.

The bedroom door was pushed open as Yan Dong rushed in, flustered. ”President, something bad has happened…”

In the next second, Yan Dong froze. His gaze landed on the tall windows.

A tall figure was standing at the window. Gu Mohan had changed into a custom-made black shirt and crisp black trousers, which only served to elongate his long legs. His shirt was slightly unbuttoned, revealing his attractive collarbones. His eyes were lowered, and he was fastening his silver cufflinks.

The light from the chandelier was reflected across his handsome face. He had an air of indescribable maturity around him and was elegant and distinguished.

Yan Dong jolted back to the present with a start and murmured, ”President…”

Hearing him, Gu Mohan looked sideways at him. He moved his lips. ”Always knock before you enter. Do I have to teach you basic manners?”

Yan Dong rejoiced. He knew it. His President was back!

”It's my fault, President!” Yan Dong felt as though he finally had his support back. President was back. His pillar of support was back!

Gu Mohan buttoned up his shirt, the expensive watch on his sturdy wrist gleaming. He swept the room with his deep eyes and asked, ”Mo'er and Niuniu have been taken by Old Madam Lu?”

”Yes, President. I was about to report that something bad has happened. Old Madam Lu is back!” Yan Dong lowered his voice. At the mention of Old Madam Lu, his expression became one of both awe and fear. ”President, Old Madam Lu really is an imposing figure. Just now… when President was still in a stupor, she broke Old Master's waist! He is lying in the hospital now.

”Not only that, Madam Xuanji was there as well. She… she slapped Madam four times, causing Madam to collapse on the floor and cry. Master was here too, and he lost all his wits when he saw Madam Xuanji. This entire family is relying on Mrs Gu. They'll be finished if this goes on!”
