Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Feeling Sorry for Him, She Takes the Initiative to Give Him Warmth

!!!

He actually dared to bring up that night’s incident, even now she still felt sore all over when thinking about it.

It was true she initiated it, but who was the one who let his beastly nature take over afterward?

Madam Gu did not notice the subtle interactions between Gu Siting and Ming Yao, she stared at the photos on the ground in disbelief.

She couldn’t believe that the woman in the photos was the dignified and virtuous Zhou Zhiyan.

Zhou Zhiyan, recovering from her shock and panic, said with tears streaming down her face, “Fourth Master, to avenge your wife, would you wrong me like this? The woman in the photos isn’t me at all, I would never do such things!”

Zhou Zhiyan acted as if she had suffered an immense injustice and humiliation, “You’ve ruined my reputation; I don’t want to live anymore…”

Zhou Zhiyan rushed towards a wooden post not far away, but Madam Zhou quickly embraced her to stop her.

“Zhiyan, Mom believes you, you’re pure as ice and virtuous, gentle and sensible, you definitely wouldn’t do such a thing!”

Madam Zhou picked up the photos from the ground, tore them into pieces, and threw them into the trash can, then she glared fiercely at Gu Siting, “Fourth Master, you made my brother’s company go bankrupt, and now you come to ruin my daughter’s reputation, you devil, you will suffer retribution, you won’t die a good death!”

Madam Zhou, holding Zhou Zhiyan who was still in tears, left.

Zhou Zhiyan took a few steps, then turned back to look at Gu Siting and Ming Yao, a cold and malevolent glint flashing in her tearful eyes.

She would not let this go!

They were nothing but a sham couple; she didn’t believe that Gu Siting could still be with Ming Yao peacefully after losing what was most important to him!

Madam Gu called out to Madam Zhou and Zhou Zhiyan several times as she saw them leaving, but they did not stop.

Madam Gu was trembling with rage, her finger shaking as she pointed at Gu Siting’s nose, “How dare you sully a girl’s reputation like this, Gu Siting, are you even human, how could I have given birth to a son like you?”

Gu Siting’s eyebrows remained unfurrowed, his handsome face indifferent, “Have you ever treated me as your son?”

Madam Gu was speechless for a moment.

“I’ve said it before, Ming Yao is my wife, my person, before I touch her, anyone who dares to touch her is opposing me!”

Gu Siting’s thin lips curled into a cold, mocking smile, “Your nephew can forget about working in the film industry from now on. As for you, didn’t you recently divert Fifty Million from the company to your family? I won’t pursue it, so you can be safe, but if I do, you’ll have to explain it in court to the judge.”

Madam Gu trembled all over.

Her eyes widened, staring at Gu Siting in disbelief.

This devil!

“Gu Siting, the fortune-teller said you were a jinx, a devil, it seems they weren’t wrong at all! You protect Ming Yao so much, does she know that when you were a child you killed someone, and were in a mental hospital? Have you ever thought about why neither your father nor I like you? Because you are a monster!”

Silence, a deathly silence!

Ming Yao looked at Gu Siting incredulously.

Was everything Madam Gu said true?

He had killed someone in his childhood, been in a mental hospital?

A harsh, chilling malevolence shrouded Gu Siting as his narrow eyes filled with a terrifying crimson, looking at Madam Gu as if poisoned, as if ready to devour her alive.

For the first time, Ming Yao saw Gu Siting looking at someone with such a horrifying gaze, more terrifying than when he found out that she had deceived and used him.

In his eyes, she saw a strong intent to kill!

Strangely, Ming Yao was not scared of him at that moment, on the contrary, she felt a twinge of heartache.

Ming Yao, too, wasn’t favored by her parents in her original family, so he was similar!

There must be a hidden story behind his childhood, right?

During her days in the Imperial Garden working as the Little Maid, she could feel that he wasn’t bad, nor was he an entirely emotionless cold machine; his heart was still warm.

But after suffering so many injuries, did she wrap herself up with quills like a hedgehog?

Gu Siting’s large palm hanging by his side clenched into a fist, and just as he could not control the urge to punch Madam Gu across the room, a delicate, white, onion-like little hand reached out and grasped his large palm.

She pried open his tightly clenched fist bit by bit, threading her slender fingers between his.

She gradually transferred the warmth from her palm into his cold and even slightly trembling large palm.

He turned his head to look at her, and on the woman’s bright and charming face was a hint of an ingratiating smile, “Husband, I haven’t eaten anything yet today, let’s go back. I’ll make something delicious for you~”

The man’s chest heaved slightly, and the beast-like provoked expression on his face slowly calmed down.

He knew that if he had thrown that punch earlier, Madam Gu could very likely have lost her life.

In a fit of rage, he would have carried the enormous sin of matricide on his back!

His deep eyes closed tightly for a moment, he gripped the woman’s slender white hand back, and strode towards the outside.

It was not until Gu Siting had walked away that the stiff and frosty atmosphere around them slightly improved.

Madam Gu, thinking about the deathly shadow in Gu Siting’s eyes just now, was so scared that her legs went weak and with a thud, she fell to the ground.

She knew that the event of that year had always been Gu Siting’s pet peeve, and over the years, no one dared to tear at his wound in front of him.

Yet in her fury, she had spoken without thinking, taking a sharp knife and stabbing it into his heart.

With his temperament, it was indeed possible that he might have killed her on the spot!

The devil, he was truly an unmitigated devil!

…

In the Bentley.

Gu Siting released Ming Yao’s hand and said coldly to Lu Zhou, “Later, hand over the evidence of Madam Gu embezzling company funds to the relevant prosecution authorities.”

Lu Zhou did not dare say much, and just nodded, “Yes, Fourth Master.”

The car headed towards the Imperial Garden.

Gu Siting turned his head to look out the window, ignoring Ming Yao and radiating an icy chill.

Ming Yao knew that he was still immersed in the great hurt Madam Gu had brought him.

Being talked to like that by one’s own mother would be difficult for anyone, right?

Ming Yao tried to speak, “Husband…”

Before she could finish, the man turned his head back and gave her a cold look, “Shut up. Weren’t you going to leave me? Why still call me husband?”

Ming Yao, “…”. Petty ghost, why hold on to a grudge like that!

With the current level of trust he had in her, it was absolutely impossible for her to probe into his past!

Given his proud and highly self-respecting nature, he would rather silently hide and lick his wounds alone than easily open up to another person.

Ming Yao tactfully avoided tearing at his wound and didn’t use it as a point of concern for him.

“Can’t I just throw a little tantrum? Who asked you to always be so cold and aloof, and to speak so harshly?”

Gu Siting’s eyes narrowed, swirling with a dangerous and unfathomable darkness, and his thin lips twisted into an inscrutable smile, “I remember, after you took that call from someone with the surname Jing, you became quite assertive, didn’t you? What, he didn’t provide a solution for your insomnia?”

Ming Yao’s heart skipped a beat all of a sudden.

Under his penetrating dark gaze, she felt as if he could see through her inner thoughts.

This man was too shrewd. She needed to disguise herself even better to avoid being seen through by him!
