Chapter 221 Taking Action
Inside the charity auction venue, lights twinkled, and people moved about under the crystal chandeliers, some talking in hushed tones, others raising wine glasses and smiling gently.
However, beneath this seemingly harmonious atmosphere, an undercurrent of unseen forces was brewing.
Seeing Gu Tingyu speak ill of Duan Yujing, Li Yan felt guilty. Seeing that he had no intention of apologizing to Duan Yujing, she frowned.
She felt that Gu Tingyu's impolite behavior was inappropriate, so she quickly turned to face Duan Yujing, her face full of apology.
"Mr. Duan, I'm so sorry. Xiao Yu is still young and doesn't understand things. Please don't take it to heart." Li Yan bowed slightly, her eyes full of sincere apology, her lips trembling slightly, as if she was ashamed of Gu Tingyu's reckless behavior.
Duan Yujing was a little surprised by Li Yan's reaction.
He glanced at Gu Tingyu and a thought popped into his head: Gu Tingyu is in his twenties, is he still young?
Moreover, Li Yan's protective posture towards Gu Tingyu made him feel a little awkward, and even the tone of her defense of Gu Tingyu was just like... the tone of a mother protecting her naughty son.
Although he had some doubts, Duan Yujing did not show anything on his face.
Duan Yujing didn't seem to care whether she was dressed up or not. She smiled faintly and waved her hand with great poise: "Miss Li, it's alright, I understand."
Gu Tingyu frowned.
He felt that Li Yan's decision to speak up for Duan Yujing meant she had taken a liking to him, and a nameless anger welled up inside him.
Gu Tingyu snorted coldly, his tone full of sarcasm: "Li Yan, what are you doing? You've already sided with outsiders so quickly? Is it because Gu Tingyan isn't here that you've started flirting with other women?"
Gu Tingyu's voice was cold and harsh, like a sharp sword piercing straight at Li Yan.
Upon hearing this, Li Yan's face turned deathly pale, her eyes widening in disbelief that her Gu Tingyu would say such a thing.
Her body trembled slightly with anger, like a leaf struggling in a storm.
"What did you say? Gu Tingyu!" Li Yan's voice rose several decibels, filled with uncontrollable anger.
She raised her hand and slapped Gu Tingyu without hesitation.
"Snap!" The crisp sound was particularly loud in the quiet corner of the venue, drawing curious glances from several people around.
Duan Yujing was slightly taken aback when he saw Li Yan's actions.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Li Yan looked somewhat familiar.
At this moment, Li Yan's beautiful almond-shaped eyes flashed with anger, and her fair face was slightly flushed.
She looked at Gu Tingyu with disappointment, and said through gritted teeth, "You unfilial son! I only followed you because I was worried about you, and you dare to slander me like this!"
Gu Tingyu covered his slapped face, his expression filled with shock and anger, his lips twitching slightly, and a sharp pain shooting through his heart.
He knew his words were a bit harsh, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize.
"Worried about me? Hmph, you always say that, but who knows what you really think?" Gu Tingyu was like a wounded little animal pretending to be strong, with a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness in his eyes, and his voice trembling slightly.
Hearing Gu Tingyu doubt her feelings for her son, Li Yan was furious.
Looking at Gu Tingyu's unrepentant appearance, her chest heaved violently, like a surging sea, and the anger in her heart burned even more fiercely!
