Chapter 60: The Ex-Girlfriend of a Wealthy Young Man (60)

“I’m not going to throw you away. Starting from today, you’re not allowed to see Leng Ziyue alone without my permission.”

Leng Yue squeezed Tang Guo’s wrist very tightly, then turned his gaze to Leng Ziyue, whose face was filled with surprise. His eyes narrowed.

Leng Ziyue subconsciously felt a sense of foreboding. And indeed, just as he felt this, he heard Leng Rui say, “Don’t you have a girlfriend?”

“Yes.”

At this time, Leng Ziyue was fully alert. A chill rose from the soles of his feet, and in his heart, he was secretly regretting how impulsive he had been in saying so much.

The man in front of him was someone who had truly disowned his family.

A profound smile appeared at the corners of Leng Rui’s lips as he said, “Since you have a girlfriend, then it’s time you should get married. I’ll get someone to help you pick a date and get ready for the wedding.”

Leng Ziyue shuddered all over, and he looked at Leng Rui with wide eyes. His lips were trembling, and his teeth were chattering. This man was going to hold a wedding for him for the sake of Tang Guo?

This was… to make him banish all his wishful thinking??

“Don’t think I can’t tell.” A cruel smile played on Leng Rui’s lips. Gently, he caressed Tang Guo’s face and said, “This is your mother. She can only be your mother.”

Hearing what Leng Rui said, Leng Ziyue faltered.

His mind was buzzing as he watched Leng Rui leave with his arms around Tang Guo. He vaguely heard Leng Rui’s cold yet gentle voice; he seemed to be talking to Tang Guo. Yet, he wasn’t whispering sweet nothings. Rather, he was warning her.

“Leng Ziyue is your son from now on.”

Leng Ziyue went limp and collapsed onto the ground. In the end, all he could do was helplessly cover his face with his hands.

Leng Rui held on to Tang Guo all the way back to the villa. He seemed to be all smiles, as if there was nothing wrong. But it was precisely that extremely eerie, strange smile on his face that made people feel so terribly frightened.

When they arrived at the villa, Leng Rui pushed Tang Guo into the bathroom and instructed, “Clean up a little before you come back to the room.”

It was only after she was pushed into the bathroom did Tang Guo realize that the door of the bathroom was locked.

[Host, brace yourself!] the System said weakly. [Leng Rui’s sick in the head. Don’t be so calculative with him. He wouldn’t be as upset if your ex weren’t Leng Ziyue.]

Tang Guo shut her eyes and lay in the bathtub. Her expression, on the contrary, was normal as she said, “Leng Ziyue? Is it possibly because he’s more than just an orphan?”

[Well, do you think the male lead would just be an ordinary nobody?] The System felt somewhat helpless. [This wasn’t originally related to the main plot, and I hadn’t expected you to trigger it by mistake. About where Leng Ziyue came from, that was revealed a long time after Tang Guo’s death.]

Tang Guo opened her eyes and asked, “What happened after Tang Guo’s death?”

[Leng Ziyue found out the truth about his origins. He then joined hands with Lu Qi, and the two worked together to kill Leng Rui.]

Tang Guo: “…”

“Pfft—I thought he was a big boss. He turned out to be a cannon fodder too.”

[Host, that’s beside the point!!]

“Then who is Leng Ziyue?”

Tang Guo already had some vague guesses. It was just that she wasn’t sure if they were right.

[The son that was born to Leng Rui’s mother and her lover.]

The System revealed this information most reluctantly. The plot was getting increasingly complicated. It was just its luck to be assigned with such a Host. [Leng Rui knew the truth right from the very beginning. He just wanted to hear his enemy’s son call him father every day to satisfy his psychotic mentality.]

[Even in her last moments, his mother didn’t think she had done anything wrong. Instead, she asked Leng Rui for just one thing, and that was for Leng Rui to let Leng Ziyue go and not do anything to hurt him. Leng Rui felt that this was unfair. Why could his mother abandon him for her lover without a second thought, and yet, even when she was on her deathbed, still do everything she could to ask him to spare Leng Ziyue?]
