Duan Yujing looked at Gu Tingyan, slightly raised her chin, and said firmly, "I won't leave. Why should I listen to you?"
Gu Tingyan was speechless at Duan Yujing's words and didn't know how to refute them for a moment.
His face turned somewhat pale, and his eyes revealed a hint of anger and helplessness.
"You...you've gone too far!"
Gu Tingyan clenched his fists tightly, as if suppressing the anger in his heart.
"This is the Gu family, not your Duan family."
Seeing the two locked in a stalemate, Li Yan quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Hey, stop arguing. Duan Yujing has finally come all this way to our house, I don't want him to leave so soon."
Gu Tingyan's heart stirred slightly upon hearing Li Yan's words.
He recalled that when he was a child, before his parents had the accident, his family of five was very happy.
At that moment, a complex emotion welled up in his heart, and he once again hoped that Duan Yujing was his father—the one he could rely on.
Li Yan noticed the change in Gu Tingyan's mood and quickly changed the subject.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Duan Yujing, you must have a lot of things to do at your company, right? You should go back first, and come visit again when you have time."
Li Yan continued to try to smooth things over.
She didn't want the father and son to have a conflict.
Duan Yujing glanced at Li Yan, then at Gu Tingyan, and nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll head back to the company now. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."
Duan Yujing's voice was steady and gentle, and his eyes were filled with reluctance as he looked at Li Yan.
As Gu Tingyan watched Duan Yujing's departing figure, a strange sense of loss welled up in his heart.
He sighed softly, then turned and went back to the company.
Only Gu Suiwan and Li Yan were left at home.
"Mom, I have the day off today, how about we go shopping?" Gu Suiwan asked expectantly.
Li Yan nodded without hesitation: "Let's go, let's go, Mom will take you shopping!"
Li Yan and Gu Suiwan walked hand in hand, chatting as they went, their faces beaming with happiness.
However, their good mood did not last long.
When they arrived at the entrance of a coffee shop, they ran into Xu Rou.
The moment Xu Rou saw Li Yan, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and a hint of jealousy and anger flashed in her eyes.
"Oh, isn't this Li Yan? I didn't expect to run into you here." Xu Rou's tone was full of disdain.
When Li Yan saw Xu Rou, a feeling of disgust welled up inside her.
She frowned slightly, a hint of wariness in her eyes.
"Why are you here?"
Xu Rou, as if courting death, approached Li Yan and threatened her.
"Li Yan, you'd better leave Gu Tingyan. He loves me; you're just a substitute."
Xu Rou's expression revealed a hint of smugness and arrogance.
Gu Suiwan, who was standing nearby, was furious when she heard Xu Rou's words.
She immediately retorted, "Don't even dream about it! Gu Tingyan doesn't like you at all. Who do you think you are? You're just a selfish woman."
Gu Suiwan's voice was clear and loud, mercilessly shattering Xu Rou's fantasy.
Xu Rou was so angry at Gu Suiwan's words that she blurted out something reckless, and her face turned bright red.
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to talk to me like that? Li Yan, don't think you can keep Gu Tingyan forever. He will come back to me sooner or later."
Xu Rou pointed at Li Yan, her eyes filled with madness.
Just then, Gu Tingyan overheard Xu Rou's words.
His face turned extremely gloomy. He strode up to Xu Rou and looked at her coldly.
"What nonsense are you spouting? I've never liked you. You'd better stay away from us, or I won't be polite."
The moment Xu Rou saw Gu Tingyan, her face turned deathly pale, and her voice filled with panic.
"Ah Yan, let me explain..."
