Cheating on her husband's mistress? I seduced her third son.

"Yu Tang!"

"Tangtang!"

"Wife!"

Three calls rang out simultaneously.

Gu Chengyan, Gu Huaiye, and Gu Xizhou stepped forward almost simultaneously, all trying to stop Su Yutang from turning away.

However, Gu Chengyan and Gu Huaiye moved faster and made louder noises, holding Su Yutang's hands firmly on their left and right.

Their anxious calls and forceful actions drowned out Gu Xizhou's voice, which was pressed deep in his throat, extremely soft and fast, almost audible only to himself.

"Wife!"

Gu Xizhou's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

He watched as Su Yutang was tightly embraced and protected by Gu Chengyan and Gu Huaiye on either side of her. The two men could rightfully comfort her, wipe away her tears, and tell her not to leave.

And what about him?

In what capacity did he approach?

A tremendous sense of powerlessness and bitterness instantly gripped him.

He dared not make it too obvious.

He could only slowly retract his outstretched hand and clench it into a fist.

All his anxiety, heartache, and the urge to hug her tightly and comfort her were suppressed deep in his heart.

He could only stand silently, almost self-destructively, watching her cry in someone else's arms and be cared for by that person.

He didn't even have the right to get close.

Just as Su Yutang was struggling and pushing Gu Chengyan and Gu Huaiye, crying her eyes out...

"Clatter".

With a soft thud, her phone slipped out of her pocket and fell to the ground.

The next second, Gu Ruyan's familiar yet shrill voice, mixed with He Xun's vague, ingratiating agreement, came through clearly.

"You bitch, don't you even know who you are? You dare to try and steal my man? He Xun is mine now. You lowlife aren't even fit to carry my shoes! If you know what's good for you, get out of here and don't let me see you again!"

The video didn't stop; instead, it played an even more alarming part.

"Shut up! Turn it off!"

Gu Ruyan's face turned deathly pale instantly. She screamed and tried to grab the phone from the ground.

But Gu Chengyan was faster.

He bent down and picked up the phone.

The video on the screen was still playing automatically, and those vicious words and ugly faces from his own mother, which he had never imagined, were displayed in front of him, assaulting his eardrums and eyes.

Gu Huaiye and Gu Xizhou also came over, the three brothers staring intently at the phone screen, listening to the increasingly offensive insults and threats coming from it.

Gu Ruyan's voice, now carrying both command and instigation, was no longer a one-sided insult, but had become blatant incitement.

"He Xun! What are you standing there for? You have to yell at her today! You have to yell at her!"

Gu Ruyan's voice suddenly rose in pitch and became even sharper.

"Give her a piece of your mind! Scold her fiercely! Call her a slut who seduces men! A shameless vixen! A despicable wretch! Ungrateful!"

"You also need to tell her clearly that the person you love is me, Gu Ruyan! You will only ever stay by my side and be my most obedient dog for the rest of your life!"

"Get her out! Get as far away as possible! Never let her ever show her face again..."

In the video, under Gu Ruyan's coercion and instigation, He Xun finally began to stammer and, with a hint of flattery, repeat those obscene and vulgar words.

Every word pierced the ears of everyone present.

The video continued, with increasingly offensive insults and threats being made.

This was not an accident.

This is evidence that Su Yutang secretly switched on and set the playback mode before opening the door, and then carefully prepared the phone to slip out at the most opportune moment.

In recent days, in order to consolidate her victorious stance and to continuously humiliate Su Yutang, Gu Ruyan has been sending out smug warnings from time to time.

Every single one of them was filled with malice and trampling.

When Su Yutang received these messages, she didn't hysterically delete or block them, nor did she break down in tears.

She remained silent, saving each and every one of them in silence.

She needs to wait patiently.

Wait for the most suitable time and occasion to maximize its effectiveness.

The time is ripe, the location is right, and the people are in harmony—it's all happening right now.

These not only proved Gu Ruyan's long-term bullying and humiliation of Su Yutang, but also laid bare her meanness, malice, and despicable behavior of instigating others to do evil, hidden beneath the mask of a noblewoman, in front of her sons, whom she cared about most and wanted to maintain her authority.

Its destructive power is comparable to that of a nuclear bomb!

Gu Chengyan's hand holding the phone trembled so much that he almost crushed the phone.

The veins on his forehead bulged, and he suddenly raised his head. The look in his eyes as he looked at Gu Ruyan was devoid of any warmth, filled only with utter disappointment, anger, and an almost unfamiliar scrutiny.

Is this her most respected mother?

Gu Huaiye angrily spun around in place, took a few deep breaths, and then stared coldly at Gu Ruyan, as if he were seeing his mother for the first time.

"Mom, you've gone too far! You've really opened my eyes! Are you even still my mother?"

Gu Xizhou pursed his lips tightly, shifting his gaze from his phone to Su Yutang's aggrieved, tearful face.

His heart ached so much he could barely breathe, and his eyes were brimming with tears, but the next second his gaze hardened as he stared intently at Gu Ruyan.

His hands were clenched into fists at his sides, his knuckles making a terrible cracking sound, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, and his body trembling as he tried to control himself.

He wished he could... wished he could rush up to her right now and punch her twice.

Gu Ruyan was stared at by her three sons with the same cold, angry, and even disgusted eyes. Their gazes were like sharp blades, making her feel a chill and an unprecedented panic.

She instinctively staggered back two steps.

"No...that's not how it is..."

Her voice trembled as she tried to explain, her eyes darting around in a panic, unable to meet the gaze of any of her sons.

"It's all fake! It's fabricated! She...she framed me! She deliberately staged this to sow discord between my son and me!"

Her voice grew softer and softer, increasingly lacking confidence. Faced with overwhelming video evidence and her sons' all-knowing gazes, her feeble arguments seemed so ridiculous that even she herself couldn't convince herself.

Enraged, Gu Chengyan slammed his phone down at Gu Ruyan's feet, shattering it into pieces instantly.

"Mom! I respect you! I respect you for giving me life, raising me, and nurturing me into adulthood!"

"But Yutang, she is the woman I love! The woman I, Gu Chengyan, have decided to spend my life with! How could you... how could you say such vicious things to her? How could you do such an outrageous thing?"

His eyes held a deep sense of disappointment and alienation.

"Mom, I really don't recognize you anymore. Not only did you steal He Xun away from her, but now you're using such despicable means to insult and humiliate her, and even... hit her?"

He took a deep breath, looked firmly at Su Yutang, then turned back to Gu Ruyan, each word resounding with conviction.

"Su Yutang, I'm determined to have her! I will definitely marry her and make her my rightful wife, the mistress of the Gu family! If you still want my son, if you still hope to get my basic respect."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"Then...please, immediately, apologize to Yu Tang. Not perfunctorily, not under duress, but a sincere apology acknowledging your mistake!"
