Part Two: The Great Sugar of the East, Chapter 316

an can't do that, and that's his principle or bottom line. 。He refused Cui Jie's request to send the clothes to the dry cleaners. He took the hanger himself and hung it in the room behind his office,..."Yes, he loved his wife very much." Han Li replied.

Both elders couldn't help but sigh. They had never seen Gu Ruandong up close before, this was the first time they saw him in person. Even with their prejudice, they had to admit that such a man was too lethal to girls. They suddenly understood why their own spineless little daughter Yi Xin had gone mad for him.

But when you look at the other Mrs., her heart is nowhere near as good.

As for her features or figure, Yi Xin wasn't inferior to the other ladies. However, when it came to temperament, she paled in comparison. A girl raised in a wealthy family like hers possessed an inherent elegance in every gesture and smile, a natural grace that couldn't be faked.

She stood beside Gu Ruandong, delicate and charming. While she seemed to rely on him, she was also a completely independent entity. She wouldn't be overshadowed by his powerful charisma; they were equals in every way.

Speaking of this, Hàn Lì said a few more words: “As for Yī Xīn, you two elders still need to do some ideological work. She has finally established her own business and built brand awareness. If this continues, it will be completely ruined.”

"Yes, we've been keeping an eye on her lately, making sure she doesn't get into trouble. The hospital also prescribed some medicine, and we're making sure she takes it consistently. She's showing signs of improvement recently."

After saying that, Mother Yi glanced at Gu Ruandong. At some point, Zhao Tingxing had also walked over and was talking to the couple. Mother Yi continued, "Don't worry about Yi Xin's affairs. Last time at the hospital, I spoke too harshly. I think this Zhao... this time he is truly sincere about wanting to live a good life with you. You shouldn't always be so reserved. Your father and I have lived our lives, and seeing that you've built a happy family is enough to fulfill our wishes. As for Yi Wen and Yi Xin, those two are incapable; let them do as they please."

The old man had opened up, and his mood had improved. After finishing his words, he beckoned Han Zhao Yi over and gave him his birthday present.

"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma," Han Zhaoyi hugged the two elders sweetly and thanked them. After thanking them, he ran off to play with the other children.

Zhao Tingxing chatted with Gu Ruandong and YaoYao here. Gu Ruandong didn't talk to him much, but YaoYao chatted with him for a few words, but her tone was also sharp: "If you had treated Han Secretary like this earlier, you wouldn't have gone through so much trouble."

Zhao Tingxing said sincerely: "That's true. I want to follow Shao Gu and reform as soon as possible, so that I won't end up like this."

Lu Yaoyao instinctively defended Gu Ruandong: "My brother has always been a good person."

Hearing this, Gu Ruandong smiled contentedly and hugged her.

Zhao Tingxing scoffed, when had Gu Ruandong ever been sincere When it came to scheming against people, even foxes would retreat in fear.

When he spoke, his eyes would intentionally or unintentionally search for Han Li's figure. Today, she wasn't wearing a business suit; she lacked her usual sharpness, but had gained a touch of gentleness. When talking to the children and their parents, she was gentle and patient.

Zhaoting suddenly remembered that he had only been focused on confessing his feelings and speaking his mind, without asking for her response. Now that he thought about it carefully, did she not answer at all from the beginning to the end

Passive, doesn't accept, doesn't refuse—she truly embodies these "three nos" to perfection. It's a shame he thought he had swayed her just now.

Thinking about it this way, I can't help but feel a little anxious. I just want to end this birthday party as soon as possible and have a good talk with her.

Luckily, the birthday party didn't last too long. A few kids and their parents came over to say goodbye and head home, and a few more guests also left.

Gu Ruandong and Yaoyao were also getting ready to leave. Zhao Tingxing and Han Li sent them out the door, and the elderly couple from the Yi family were leaving as well.

Yaoyao wasn't completely oblivious throughout the night. She had noticed early on that the two elderly people kept glancing at her. At first, she didn't think much of it, after all, as a celebrity, she was used to being the center of attention. Just moments ago, several parents of young children even approached her asking for autographs. However, now, she belatedly realized that they were her parents.

She had already forgotten who Yi Xin was. She didn't bother remembering unimportant people, as it wasted brain cells. But recently, she saw that Yi Xin had sent a lot of messages to Gu Ruan Dong's work phone, reminding her of this person again.

I can only lament that my circle is too small.

Zhao Tingxing and Han Li sent the couple and the elders to the hotel entrance, their hearts beating nervously, wondering how they could have possibly met here.

But what truly terrified them was the sight of a slender figure standing under the street lamp by the hotel entrance, none other than Yi Xin.

She didn't know when she arrived, nor how long she had been standing there. Seeing them come out now, she stared straight at Gu Ruandong, as if her own parents had become transparent background figures.

Seeing her like this, the elderly couple at home knew she was having another episode. Their hearts skipped a beat, and they rushed forward, trying to pull her away.

Han Li was also afraid of causing trouble, so he quickly stepped in front of Gu Ruandong and Yao Yao, saying, "Your car is over there. I'll take you."

I don't want Yi Xin to harass Gu Ruandong, especially when Lu Yaoyao is around. I know the consequences.

The atmosphere suddenly became inexplicably eerie. Everyone's expression was unreadable. Lu Yaoyao stood motionless, her voice still sweet, but her expression was difficult to decipher. "Secretary Han, what's going on Why can't I see anyone Am I supposed to flee like this"

Although it was addressed to Han Li, it was actually meant for Gu Ruandong.

At first glance, Gu Ruandong saw Yi Xin and his brows furrowed slightly. He got angry without showing it, it seemed he was more merciful than before. Back then, no one dared to pester him like this.

Zhao Tingxing had sparred with him for many years. Seeing his current expression, he knew something was amiss and hurriedly came out to appease Lu Yaoyao: "She's just a lunatic, her mind is not clear now, Han Li is also afraid of hurting you. Mr. Gu, Miss Lu, please get in the car first, I'll handle this."

Gu Ruan Dong could kill a person in a thousand and one ways, but he wouldn't dirty his own hands, especially not in public. So, he put an arm around Yao Yao's shoulder and said softly, "Let's go."

Lu Yaoyao, due to hormonal instability during pregnancy, had already been in a fluctuating mood. At this moment, her emotions surged, and she felt deeply wronged. This feeling was like a wife encountering a mistress—she wasn't running from the mistress, but herself. Of course, it was suffocating, and tears welled up instantly.

Guan Gu Ruan Dong is a scum man too.

Gu Ruandong, seeing her tears, felt a pang of heartache and embraced her comfortingly. At the same time, a chill ran through him. Just then, a startled cry rang out from behind him, "Yi Xin, come back to me."

A scream was accompanied by a gust of cold wind and a white light. Gu Ruan was quick-witted and agile. He grabbed YaoYao with one hand and shielded her from the white light with the other, then spun around. However, because he was protecting YaoYao, he was afraid she would fall, so his movements were not too forceful or too fast. A sharp pain shot through his shoulder.

Yi Xin's knife slashed across Gu Ruan Dong's shoulder.

Hanli and the two elders of the Yi family were both scared silly, time seemed to freeze, they stood there.

Only Zhao Tingxing was quick-witted and swift, grabbing Yixin's hand in one fell swoop, kicking the fruit knife out of her grasp, and taking control of her.lness: "Miss Lu It's broad daylight, I shouldn't be dreaming, right"Yao Yao didn't want to listen to his nonsense, and directly asked: "Did Gu Ruandong come to you"She asked, and only then did Zhao Ti...
