Chapter 1337: Cherished in the Palm of My Hand

Huo Yiwen barged into the CEO’s office, shouting, but didn’t find Mu Anhan; instead, she managed to draw Gu Xiaozhan back from the meeting room.

He stood cold and stern like ice at the doorway, watching this middle-aged woman throw a tantrum like a shrew.

And she had long lost her grace and patience.

"Xiaozhan, you’re back just in time!" Huo Yiwen said immediately upon seeing him, "Quick, get Mu Anhan out here. She not only drove Gu Xiaorui abroad but also hacked my phone, computer, and internet..."

Gu Xiaozhan stared at her, coldly saying, "None of this has anything to do with Han Han. If you have an issue, take it up with me!"

Huo Yiwen’s face paled; how could this be?

"Xiaorui listened to slander and made a move against Pei Zhe at the Lu Family," Gu Xiaozhan said, "Didn’t you know? The one thing a man can’t tolerate is being schemed against! Xiaorui realized her mistake afterwards and was willing to go abroad to reflect. Admitting and correcting her mistakes is a good thing. What are you making a fuss about?"

"It’s all the fault of that little bitch Mu Anhan that Pei Zhe won’t accept Xiaorui. It’s that little bitch’s fault!" Huo Yiwen pushed all the blame onto Mu Anhan.

Gu Xiaozhan walked in, closing the door, and step by step approached Huo Yiwen.

Huo Yiwen was somewhat afraid; he had the look of someone about to devour her.

Huo Yiwen retreated backward, but there was no way out anymore.

"Han Han is the woman I am willing to hold in the palm of my hand. You may not acknowledge her as your daughter-in-law, because I won’t force you. But..." He paused slightly, "I absolutely won’t allow anyone to insult her. Do you still look like a matriarch of the Gu Family? You’re using foul language; you’re no different than a shrew from the streets!"

Huo Yiwen was both ashamed and angry. She reached out, intending to slap him.

But Gu Xiaozhan grabbed her wrist, "We share blood; I’m still willing to call you mom. Don’t wait for the day when I won’t come back to the Gu Family, and I won’t call you anymore."

Huo Yiwen knew he was capable of anything, evident from how he defended Mu Anhan.

However, she couldn’t swallow her pride.

The confrontation between mother and son, their eyes filled with fury.

Huo Yiwen was unwilling to accept defeat.

Gu Xiaozhan refused to back down.

"Bring her out; I want to hear it straight from her." Huo Yiwen gave herself a way out.

Gu Xiaozhan released her wrist, "It’s unnecessary; if I say it is, it is."

"You..." Huo Yiwen clenched her fists, "Regarding Xiaorui’s marriage, who do you think she should marry?"

Gu Xiaozhan took a step back, crossing his arms, "Even if Xiaorui is willing to marry a plumber, as long as she’s willing, then she should have the right to make her own choice for happiness."

Huo Yiwen wanted to slap him again, "How can you say that? Don’t you want your sister to marry a good man? Marrying a plumber—you really have wild thoughts, don’t you? Have you ever cared about your sister’s well-being?"

Gu Xiaozhan couldn’t communicate with her; he shook his head: "Just go!"

In Huo Yiwen’s eyes, he had ignored so many socialites and chosen Mu Anhan, who was nothing. And the result?

That Mu Anhan couldn’t present herself, only opposing her, and has led Gu Xiaozhan astray.

"Don’t regret making me feel sorry for having you as a son!" Huo Yiwen’s eyes filled with tears, so angry she couldn’t speak coherently.
