Chapter 494 Just Kill Me

Chapter 494: Go Ahead and Kill Me

Hearing Lan Ruolin's words, Gu Yanzhi became impatient.

"How could I possibly want to stay with the Fang family? Zhigang just said a few harsh words, and I didn’t stop anyone from disciplining him. But a few words aren't worth killing over, are they?"

Gu Yanzhi didn’t understand what was wrong with Lan Ruolin. Usually so gentle-tempered, how could she now say he was disgusting?

Hearing such words from her, Gu Yanzhi felt as if his heart clenched, leaving him breathless.

In the past, even when Lan Ruolin was cold toward him, she had never lashed out at him like this.

But perhaps this was for the best. Hatred, after all, was still an emotion, wasn’t it?

Anything was better than the decades of cold indifference she had shown him.

"What a joke! Your man just insulted my daughter-in-law, and I didn’t see you lifting a finger to stop him! Besides, if it weren’t for my daughter-in-law’s martial arts skills, who knows how badly that scum would have bullied her?" Wu Yanhua now spoke up, directing her anger at Gu Yanzhi.

She was furious. The moment she arrived, she had heard that man speaking about her daughter-in-law in such a manner.

Her daughter-in-law was clearly so capable—in just a few months, she had lifted their Fu family from poverty to… well, at least not poor anymore?

Wu Yanhua wasn’t educated and couldn’t find the right words to describe it.

But one thing was certain: her daughter-in-law was better than any man.

She didn’t even need to compare her to others—just take her youngest son, Fu Tinghua. Her daughter-in-law was more skilled than him in business, handling people, and even martial arts.

And who was her youngest son? He was the smartest person for miles around, even in the entire Wencheng.

And Su He? In many ways, she was even smarter than her youngest son.

So how could she allow anyone to talk down about Su He like this? To say that Su He was only fit to stay at home, take care of men, and bear sons?

Everyone was stunned by Wu Yanhua’s ferocity, especially Su Shiming and his wife.

"That’s right! My daughter is clearly so remarkable, yet your subordinate spoke of her like that? Did you just eat shit before coming here? Is that why your mouths are so foul?" Wen Qing also stepped forward to defend her daughter.

It truly infuriated her. How dare they speak ill of Su He, of all people?

"Who are these people?" someone from the Fu family asked.

"No idea. Trespassing in the middle of the night and hurling insults—only hoodlums would do something like this."

"Exactly. Get out of here now, or don’t blame us Fu family members for being unfriendly."

"Leave my brother’s property at once."

The Fu brothers were making a racket, growing increasingly bold and unrestrained in their words.

Lan Ruolin looked at the man she now despised more than ever, feeling a disgust stronger than ever before.

She had finally found her son and was sharing this short time together. Why did he have to come and wreck this happiness?

"Come back with me," Gu Yanzhi said, ignoring everyone else and focusing solely on Lan Ruolin.

Although he wanted to bring Fu Tinghua with him, it wasn't certain yet, and he couldn't take him back now.

Unless he forced him—but if this really was his son, any coercion might drive a wedge between them, and that was the last thing Gu Yanzhi wanted.

"Go back? No, I won't go back." Lan Ruolin changed her mind—either death or returning to that cold, unfeeling Gu household.

She looked at Gu Yanzhi, her eyes cold and desperate.

"Gu Yanzhi, go ahead and kill me."

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Especially the Gu family, who had all heard Lan Ruolin mention Gu Yanzhi's name.

So the man before them was Lan Ruolin's ex-husband?

Wu Yanhua also grew nervous—did that mean this man was her youngest son's biological father?

She seemed to recall Miss Lan mentioning that her ex-husband had powerful connections beyond anything they could imagine.

If that was the case, hadn't she just cussed him out moments ago?

Wu Yanhua felt a flash of guilt, but then she thought something wasn't right.

If he was her youngest son's biological father, why didn't he stop his man from insulting his own son's wife earlier?

"Are you... are you Miss Lan's husband?" Wu Yanhua walked to Lan Ruolin's side, shooting Gu Yanzhi a fierce look, she demanded.

The heavy atmosphere instantly lightened because of Wu Yanhua's remark.

Even Gu Yanzhi was shocked by what Lan Ruolin had just said.

He could never have imagined that Lan Ruolin would rather die than return with him.

So when someone spoke up and addressed Lan Ruolin's statement, Gu Yanzhi felt surprisingly relieved.

"That's right," he replied levelly, looking at Wu Yanhua.
