Chapter 423 Then There's No Need to Stay

her in eight years.""Oh, well, you're right. Back then, the person left for another country because of your wedding. By the time they returned, you had already gone abroad. And now that you're back, t...“You say you can’t live every day, that you can’t go on, but I don't see you actually dying.” Palace Shu Lan said in a cold voice, sarcastically looking at Pei Zhen.

"Gong Shulan! Do you really want to drive me to death" Pei Zhen's voice was sharp, "My daughter saved your grandson, so you..."

Gong Shulan stepped forward, reaching out to pull Pei Zhen from Gu Gengting's arms. "Your daughter saved our child, and the whole world knows it. We've said that we'll repay what needs to be repaid and settle accounts where they need to be settled. Is there anything else you're dissatisfied with"

"Repayment That sounds nice. If your intentions are gone, what do you have to repay with" Pei Zhen asked Gong Shu Lan, her heart aching.

Gong Shulan gripped Pei Zhen's arm, leaned in close, and whispered, "If Lin Yiwei is dead, my life is yours. If we find out that it was your people who killed my daughter, I will get even and hire the same assassins to hunt you down."

Pei Zhen's pupils shrank, struggling in Gong Shu Lan's grasp for a moment, "I said we didn't do anything, I have no idea what you're talking about."

“Have you done it I know, and you know. When the time comes, the evidence will speak for itself.”

Pei Zhen's eyes flashed with panic, "You..."

Gong Shulan's face remained calm. "As you know, I am capable. You can hire people to threaten my daughter, and I can also hire people to threaten you. My people could be ten or even a hundred times more numerous than yours. I simply disdain doing so. Otherwise, do you really think you could have done all these bad things and still strut around in front of me"

Pei Zhen's pupils trembled slightly, and she felt a chill spreading through her body. She looked at Gu Gengting for help.

Don't look at him, I really want you dead. You see, he's useless too.

Gu Gengting's brow furrowed, looking at Pei Zhen's frightened and terrified eyes, but he couldn't hear what the two were saying.

Gong Shulan let go of Pei Zhen, who staggered back two steps, bending over with his back against the wall, gasping for breath, his eyes no longer daring to meet Gong Shulan's.

She knew that Gong Shulan wasn't joking with her. After fighting with Gong Shulan for so long, Gong Shulan had always been disdainful of both of them and had never threatened or warned her like this before.

This time, they really stepped over Gong Shulan's bottom line.

Gū Shūlán's gaze lightly swept over Pèi Zhēn, putting her hand back into her pocket, and glanced at Gù Gēngtíng.

Gu Gengting narrowed his eyes, looking at Palace Shulan, "What did you tell her"

"I said that if Lin Yimi died, I would give my life for her."

Gu Gengting frowned, immediately stopping her from continuing. "Don't talk nonsense here," he said.

"What Don't you want me to leave I really want to know, in your eyes, is Lin Yiwei and Pei Zhen important, or am I"

Gū Shulan had never asked such a question before, because she didn't care.

Now she didn't care anymore, she just wanted to know why Gu Gengting kept saying he loved her, but after knowing she disliked his mother and daughter, he still raised them for so many years and protected them everywhere.

Is it really because of making up for the regret and gratitude of not having children

"Yi Wei is my daughter, Pei Zhen is the one who saved my life, and you are my wife. What comparison can there be"

"Yes, though I am your wife, you have never put me first."

Gu Gengting glanced at Mo Zhouyan beside him, "You're not either."

Gong Shulan burst into a brilliant smile and spread her hands. "This is our marriage, you are stubborn and I am ruthless, we are forcing this together. You tasted it to see if it was sweet or not, even if it's bitter, just chew it down. From now on, I won't mention divorce again, we'll live like this for the rest of our lives, none of us will let go of the other."

"Ranran, come."

Palace Shu Lan supported Shen Ning Ran, and took Shen Ning Ran away.

Shen Ningran looked at Gong Shulan and suddenly felt that her mother at this moment was different from before. She was no longer as indifferent and disdainful as she used to be, but had instead gained a terrifying ruthlessness.

Gu Gengting's hand hanging by his side clenched tightly.

For some reason, when he heard Gong Shulan say she wouldn't bring up divorce again, he wasn't happy at all.

There's a feeling, like this woman is drifting further and further away from him. She will always be his, but her heart will never truly belong to him in this lifetime.

"Mom, what did you just say to Pei Zhen"

Shen Ningran looked at Pei Zhen's expression then, as if she had been frightened badly.

"It's nothing, Pei Zhen will leave it to Mom to handle." Gong Shulan stopped and raised her eyes to look at Shen Ningran's slightly swollen cheeks, reaching out gently to touch them. "It hurts, doesn't it"

Shen Ning lightly twitched the corner of her lips, "It's alright."

"Lying, this isn't going to hurt."

At that moment, Gu Gengting was angry and must have used all his strength.

Shen Ningran smiled lightly, taking Palace Shulan's arm, "It hurt just now, but it doesn't hurt after a while."

Gong Shulan watched Shen Ningran, clearly heartbroken but still putting on a brave face. Gong Shulan's heart ached for her.

To say the person who owes Shen Ningran the most apologies is herself, she claims to love her daughter dearly, but abandoned her at the Shen family from a young age. After that, she made her suffer the consequences of the old master's years of revenge because of her own actions.

And now Pei Zhen's mother and daughter have caused her trouble again.

Gong Shulan reached out with a pained expression, gently stroking Shen Ningran's cheek. Her eyes were filled with guilt as she said, "Mom was wrong before. Mom thought Pei Zhen and her daughter were like two children vying for attention, I didn't care, and I wasn't interested in fighting with them, but this time they went too far..."

Palace Shu Lan's eyes flashed coldly.

If that's the case, then there's no need to stay.y Shen Ningran”Mo Cang immediately wore a stern expression, "If it's truly as you say, I would have no face to see the Patriarch again. I would resign from my Elder position and never set foot in the...
