After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 150 Jiang Mianmian's "Reminder" - Her Big Son's Short-Sleeve Obsession

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.

Just then, a light footstep sound came from afar and approached. Jiang Mianmian looked up at the person who was approaching.

"You're back. Did you go to your adoptive parents' place last night?"

Gu Yunchen nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, I went back to visit my parents yesterday!"

"Oh, I see. By the way, your friend should have gotten home safely last night, right?" Jiang Mianmian said casually.

Gu Yunchen naturally understood who she was referring to, so he answered truthfully: "Yes, when I saw him to the door, Leng Luoli arranged for his own carriage to escort his fiancée back first."

Then we chatted idly at the door for a while until his carriage returned, and only then did he take me home.

"what?"

Upon hearing Gu Yunchen's words, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Then, she asked incredulously, "Was it really him... who personally drove you home?"

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian, who was secretly pondering to herself, couldn't help but mutter to herself:

[Holy crap, a grown man escorting another man home, he's definitely up to no good!]

However, on the surface, she still pretended to be calm and hinted, "Oh, so he's the one who brought you home? But tell me, do you think it's necessary for a grown man like you to have another man drive you home?"

"Hey, third brother, your good buddy of yours isn't... a homosexual, is he? Has... a penchant for sharing a peach with a homosexual, or a thing of the same ilk?"

Faced with Jiang Mianmian's questioning, Gu Yunchen knew perfectly well what Leng Luoli's true sexual orientation was like.

But to avoid arousing too much suspicion from Jiang Mianmian, he could only feign ignorance and ask in return:

"Mother, what are you saying! You shouldn't make such wild guesses without any evidence."

If he were gay, how could he possibly have a fiancée? Didn't you see his fiancée with your own eyes yesterday?

"Hehe, that's hard to say! Some gay men, in order to cover up their true sexual orientation and avoid arousing suspicion from others, even spend a lot of money to hire someone to pretend to be their fiancée."

"Otherwise, how could there be so many wives of gay men in the world!" Jiang Mianmian became more and more agitated as she spoke, as if she deeply abhorred this matter.

You've heard of the term "wife of a gay man," right?

Jiang Mianmian stared intently at Gu Yunchen and continued to explain, "The so-called 'wives of gay men' are those despicable, fraudulent men who marry for money."

They clearly prefer men, yet they deliberately deceive innocent girls and marry them.

After marriage, he subjected his wife to emotional abuse, his sole aim being to force her to bear him a child so he could appease his parents and relatives. This behavior is utterly outrageous and disgusting…”

Jiang Mianmian talked non-stop like a machine gun, and even after saying a lot, she still didn't feel like she had enough.

"Don't think I'm ignorant just because I'm old. Let me tell you, I read a lot of those storybooks, and I know all the strange and wonderful things in them very well!"

I know far more about these things than a greenhorn like you!

Besides, she's an experienced person, so her judgment of people is naturally much more accurate than Gu Yunchen's!

The implication is quite clear; this is a subtle "hint" at Gu Yunchen!

"See? I can clearly sense that something's not quite right with your good buddy. You'd better be more careful!"

Coincidentally, having heard Jiang Mianmian's true thoughts, Gu Yunchen didn't argue with her or insist on finding out who was right and who was wrong.

Just as Jiang Mianmian was about to wrap things up, he naturally and effortlessly expressed his "understanding".

He also said that he would pay more attention in the future and would never do anything to worry her again.

Not only that, Gu Yunchen also gave Jiang Mianmian a special instruction, telling her not to be idle all day and to keep saying things like she wanted to sever her mother-son relationship with him.

After all, those who know the situation clearly understand that she was just making a joke.

But if uninformed outsiders heard this, they might mistakenly think that this biological mother didn't like her own son at all!

If these words were to accidentally spread, the consequences would be terrible!

However, faced with Gu Yunchen's earnest persuasion, Jiang Mianmian responded with a serious and solemn expression:

"Who said I was just joking? I'm really serious this time! We're cutting ties completely right now..."

Unfortunately, before she could even finish uttering those harsh words, Gu Yunchen had already slipped away and vanished in an instant.

Jiang Mianmian was left sitting alone in the chair, angrily roaring at his back, cursing incessantly.

His voice was so loud that even people in the next yard could hear it clearly!

Li Tingxue had just finished feeding her child and was carefully holding the baby upright, gently patting her back to help her burp.

Just then, she vaguely heard a sound outside, so Li Tingxue lowered her voice and whispered to Shen Xiuyan beside her:

"Hey, did you hear that? I think my mother-in-law is scolding the third son! I wonder what's wrong with him this time, that he's made her angry again?"

Shen Xiuyan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wry smile. He snorted and replied, "Heh, when have you ever seen the third brother go a day without being scolded?"

Li Tingxue thought about it and agreed, so she nodded slightly to show her agreement with Shen Xiuyan's statement.

She sighed and said, "Yes, he has so many troubles. Any one of them is terrifying."

This recent event is particularly worrying because it's something that hasn't even happened yet, making it impossible to take any precautions.

"That's true. Although the previous two were equally frightening, at least they had committed crimes."

If we can gather enough evidence, we can bring those two people to justice. However, the next thing is much more complicated, since the first victim is still alive...

At this point, Shen Xiuyan suddenly paused, as if realizing something, and hesitantly began to speak:

"But... isn't it incredibly immoral of us to be so eagerly anticipating more victims?"

Li Tingxue was silent for a moment, then shrugged helplessly and replied, "Perhaps there is a little bit."

"But as the saying goes, 'Better to sacrifice a friend than yourself,' we can't just stand by and watch our own family members become the unlucky ones, can we?"

Shen Xiuyan frowned and said, "It shouldn't be that serious. We can hear Mother's 'inner voice,' so when we meet that person, we can just bring Mother along, right?"

That way, even if unexpected situations arise, we can respond promptly!

"But if no one is killed to make up for it, then what he did can only be considered an attempted crime! In that case, there's no way to deal with him!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiuyan was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he nodded helplessly in agreement: "Yes, you're right, this is indeed a tricky matter."

It seems I'll have to talk to Gu Yunchen afterwards and ask him how to best handle this situation.

Otherwise, the third son shouldn't blame them for being heartless and supporting their "mother" in severing their mother-son relationship with him!

Gu Yunchen's lips twitched slightly upon hearing Shen Xiuyan's threat, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Don't worry, I will always be vigilant and guard against Leng Luoli, and I will absolutely not let such a dangerous thing happen."

"If that terrible thing never happens, are we just going to let Leng Luoli keep dangling in front of us?"

"Since it was only an attempted crime, how can the authorities convict Leng Luoli based solely on this?"

Gu Yunchen said helplessly, "Sigh... That's true, but even if we want to bring him to justice and arrest him, we need solid and sufficient evidence."

He couldn't help but look troubled, because in such cases, whether a conviction can be successfully obtained often depends on whether key and compelling "evidence" can be collected, which was precisely what he had not done!

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." This is certainly true.

When Gu Yunchen sent his men to investigate the situation regarding "Leng Luoli," they indeed made some discoveries.

However, unexpectedly, the problem did not originate from Leng Luoli himself; on the contrary, it lay with the group of friends who were close to him.

Speaking of Leng Luoli, his understanding of Gu Yunchen was actually quite limited.

All that is known is that Gu Yunchen possesses exceptional talent, eventually becoming the emperor's personal bodyguard and rising step by step to the position of bodyguard commander.

Perhaps it was out of respect for Gu Yunchen's noble status that Leng Luoli behaved exceptionally respectful and honest when she was with him.

But the people he associated with were a completely different story.

In order not to offend Gu Yunchen, he acted particularly honest, but the people he knew were not so honest.

While these people haven't yet degenerated to the point of animal cruelty, their chaotic relationships with men and women are utterly astonishing and beyond description.

The subordinate who was in charge of reporting the matter looked troubled and said, "Boss, in my opinion, you should listen to your mother's advice more often in the future!"

Hearing his words, Gu Yunchen was filled with confusion, his mind swirling with questions.

Seeing this, the subordinate shook his head helplessly, sighed, and continued, "Oh well, I can't even bring myself to say it. You should see for yourself!"
