Chapter 368 - You were not going anywhere

“Mom, where have you been? It’s been late. Why do you come back so late?” Mo Yichen was so surprised when he saw that it was Li Yunhong. He thought that his mother had fallen asleep. Therefore, she didn’t notice that he was back.

“I just come back from Chen Qian’s home. Why do you come back so early? Do you finish your work?”

Li Yunhong was stunned when she saw him, but then she smiled at once.

“Uncle will take care of the rest. Don’t worry. Mom, I have to go for something important. Talk later.” Mo Yichen was in a hurry, ignoring Li Yunhong’s affectionate care.

Immediately, he passed Li Yunhong and left before she knew it. Looking at him, Li Yunhong just stood still and the smile on her face disappeared at once.

It took her a few moments to return to absolute being. She shouted at him, “Mo Yichen, come back. I have something to tell you. Come back… Come…”

Mo Yichen just opened the car door when he heard that she called him. The harsh voice pricked his nerves and he felt that his heart would jump out from his body.

After returning from abroad, Mo Yichen was worn out, but when he thought of Gu Yan, he cheered up and couldn’t fall asleep. However, his brain was in a daze and out of control.

Mo Yichen was frightened when he heard that Li Yunhong called him loudly. At this moment, he felt like he was awakened from the dream by someone.

Closing the car door, Mo Yichen slowly walked back to the house. He was drowsy. Li Yunhong had changed her shoes and sat on the sofa when he came in.

“What? Can’t we talk later, mom? I really have something important to deal with now.”

Mo Yichen said loudly but entreatingly. He felt down in the dumps, staring at her who was expressionless blearily.

“You just came back home. Now you want to go out. It’s been late. What do you want to do? Can’t you deal with it tomorrow?” Li Yunhong said in an arrogant way and persuaded Mo Yichen by using his words.

He was irritated, picking up the glass of water on the table and gulping it down. He drank it so quickly that he got choked, which made him cough.

Li Yunhong got worried when she saw he was choked by water. She stood up and patted on his back, which made him cough badly. “Are you okay, Yichen?” Li Yunhong asked softly, looking worriedly at him.

Mo Yichen kept coughing and gave Li Yunhong a sign to stay away from him with one hand. He cleared his throat and said, “Mom, leave me alone. I have something to deal with. You go and have some rest…”

Before finishing these words, Mo Yichen turned back and was ready to leave, but he didn’t notice Li Yunhong was in anger now.

“Stop! You are not going anywhere!”

Mo Yichen was stunned by Li Yunhong’s anger because she always respected his personal life. She would support every decision he made and just let him do whatever he wanted.

However, things were different this time. Mo Yichen got no idea about what happened to Li Yunhong and why she was angry like that.

He just stood still and listened to his mother’s nagging voice and bitter reproaches.

“Don’t you think I don’t know what you’re going to do? Well, I won’t beat around the bush. Listen carefully. You are never allowed to be with Gu Yan. Yichen, you’d better break up with her early…”

Mo Yichen was shocked by those words. He turned and stared at her unbelievably. He was confused that what on earth had happened when he was abroad. Why did his mother hate Gu Yan so much?

“Mom, I have grown up. I have my own thoughts. You mind your own business and I can take care of myself. In addition, you don’t need to worry about Gu Yan and me…”

Mo Yichen talked to his mother patiently, but she just closed her ears. She believed that Gu Yan was a vicious woman who would do whatever she could to achieve her goals. Li Yunhong wouldn’t allow her son to involve himself with Gu Yan.

“You know what? She just engaged in love affairs with others when you were abroad. Why do you love this kind of woman?”

“Yichen, I will never allow you to marry Gu Yan!” Li Yunhong emphasized that to Mo Yichen once again. She was an old woman now. Her face was covered with wrinkles. Streaks of gray began to appear in her black hair.

Under the dim light, Li Yunhong looked gaunter. The sadness in her eyes and the bitter reproaches made Mo Yichen distressed.

“Mom, she is not that kind of woman!”

“There must be some misunderstanding here. There must be an evil backstage manipulator managing to drive a wedge between you and Gu Yan. Mom, just give me some time and I will figure it out and show you that Gu Yan is innocent.”

“An evil backstage manipulator?” Li Yunhong sneered. She thought her son was as naïve and innocent as a child who didn’t know Gu Yan well. To predict what a woman’s thinking was almost impossible. Men were blind in love.

“Mom, I have to go out today anyway. I’ll explain the rest to you later.” Mo Yichen just ignored Li Yunhong’s words and said. From his point of view, his mother wouldn’t believe him no matter how hard he tried to explain, so there was no need to continue the conversation.

For Mo Yichen, it was more important to find Gu Yan, figure out the whole thing, and find out the evil backstage manipulator to prove that Gu Yan was innocent.

Mo Yichen just headed to the door without looking back.

“Yichen, come back!”

He stopped for a second and kept on going ahead.

“You won’t be my son if you dare to take a step forward.”

Mo Yichen didn’t surrender to Li Yunhong’s words.

Watching his receding figure, Li Yunhong couldn’t believe her eyes. She stepped back and leaned on the sofa behind her, pointing at Mo Yichen, “You… You come back…” She said in a tremulous voice.
