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

Chapter 118 Defeating Hatred with True Love

So, fearing that Jiang Mianmian and Li Tingxue would see him in this awkward and embarrassed state, and that he would be ridiculed by them, he could only lead Wu Zhenmin away, trying to keep a certain distance from the carriage.

Gu Yunchen and Wu Zhenmin didn't say much. After about an incense stick's time, the coachman hurriedly drove the carriage over.

The coachman nimbly jumped down from the carriage, bowed respectfully to Gu Yunchen, and then, as instructed, hired a carriage. Gu Yunchen watched as the injured Wu Zhenmin got into the carriage.

Of course, he didn't go to the clinic with them. After all, he knew perfectly well that Jiang Mianmian and Li Tingxue were in the carriage! If he rashly followed, he would inevitably incur criticism from the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

However, Gu Yunchen did not see that the moment Wu Zhenmin boarded the carriage, her expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Her once beautiful face was now shrouded in gloom, as if shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds.

She stomped her feet in anger, never expecting that even though she was already so badly injured, Gu Yunchen would only offer a few perfunctory words of concern.

Then, they hired a dilapidated carriage for her and sent her to the clinic alone.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhenmin couldn't help but feel resentful and secretly blamed herself for being too naive.

She thought that with her outstanding beauty, she would definitely have some influence over him, but now it seems that she overestimated her beauty and it was just wishful thinking on her part.

At this moment, Wu Zhenmin finally understood why he was able to wipe out the Killing Tower where they lived in his previous life.

It turns out that this man is a cold-hearted person. Even when a stunning beauty like her takes the initiative to throw herself into his arms, he can resist the temptation of her body.

That day, she deliberately got drunk and acted very sad and upset. Her delicate body swayed and fell into Gu Yunchen's warm embrace.

However, even when faced with such a beautiful woman throwing herself into his arms, Gu Yunchen remained completely unmoved, showing no other thoughts whatsoever. He was simply not a real man!

"Sneezing—"

"Sneezing—"

Just then, Gu Yunchen suddenly sneezed twice in a row. While rubbing his sore nose, he muttered to himself: Who on earth was cursing him behind his back?

If Gu Yunchen could hear Wu Zhenmin's inner thoughts at this moment, he would surely refute her without hesitation:

"What does this have to do with whether I'm a real man or not? I'm just upholding my principles and bottom line; I would never do anything so shameful!"

After Wu Zhenmin left, Gu Yunchen signaled the coachman to drive the carriage away from this troublesome place.

Gu Yunchen breathed a sigh of relief. He thought his mother would make a scene. Luckily, she didn't!

On the way home, Gu Yunchen got off the carriage. Jiang Mianmian thought he had gone to find that female assassin, and felt that severing ties was imminent.

As the carriage slowly drove back to the mansion, Jiang Mianmian immediately spotted Gu Yunchen, who had just returned.

She walked forward with a look of astonishment and confusion, asking curiously, "Oh! Why are you back so soon?"

Oh dear! Shouldn't you have gone to visit that heartless woman? Logically speaking, you shouldn't have returned so quickly!

Did something go wrong on the way, and you lost her and ran home alone?

Upon thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but gasp, inwardly complaining:

[Oh my god! This is terrible! The third brother has really stirred up a hornet's nest! That woman must be furious and absolutely enraged right now!]

No wonder that woman became so ruthless and decisive later on. Perhaps it was the third brother's clueless and straightforward nature that angered her?

Thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian suddenly fell silent, her mind filled with doubt. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether he had tormented her or she had tormented him in return.

Gu Yunchen: "..."

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian spoke again: "Third brother, you just abandoned that girl and ran back by yourself."

They just left that ruthless woman—no, that ruthless woman—on the side of the road. She must be furious right now.

Besides, you keep saying you're not interested in her, but as I see it, you clearly like her a lot from the bottom of your heart! Now that you've done this, won't she be even angrier than before...?

"Mother, please stop playing matchmaker! I've told you, I have absolutely no romantic feelings for her, why won't you believe me?" the third son pleaded helplessly.

"Heh! You don't like her? Then why does she keep snuggling into your arms and crying her eyes out? I'm not blind, I saw it all!"

Jiang Mianmian frowned, her face full of disapproval, and muttered, "Even if you're not interested in her, you should at least talk to her properly and make her happy!"

She secretly pondered this possibility:

Perhaps, if you could just be a little sweeter and say a few more nice things, you could truly make that woman happy and comfortable.

Maybe that woman won't even think about revenge anymore. She might even end up willingly living with you! After all, that's how it's always written in those romance novels!

[Plots like the female lead falling in love with the son of her enemy, or a princess of a fallen kingdom falling in love with the emperor of an enemy state, usually end with the female lead letting go of her hatred, leading to a happy ending.]

Thinking of this, a hint of joy appeared on Jiang Mianmian's face.

[Yes, yes, since you two already know each other, constantly running away won't solve anything. Why not just do a good job and "bring them together"? Let "so-called true love" defeat "deep-seated hatred."]

True love conquers all! Long live true love!

Jiang Mianmian thought about it more and more and felt that her idea was absolutely brilliant, and she was extremely excited.

He instantly transformed into a garrulous Tang Monk, earnestly "teaching" Gu Yunchen how to win over that woman.

What woman wouldn't yearn for her man to pamper and cherish her in every way? They all hope that their beloved will treat them like a precious treasure, holding them in the palm of their hand and loving them dearly.

When you see beautiful clothes, buy them for her without saying a word; when you see exquisite jewelry, buy it for her without hesitation...

At the same time, you should often invite her to go shopping, go boating on a lake, or enjoy a spring outing amidst green hills and clear waters...

In short, you need to rack your brains to find all sorts of excuses to go out with her, spend as much time as possible with her, so that she gets used to your presence anytime, anywhere, and feels that you care...

At this moment, Gu Yunchen felt like his head was about to explode as he listened to Jiang Mianmian's rambling. Hadn't he already explained everything to his mother?

I know that Wu Zhenmin and I don't have that kind of relationship, so why won't my mother believe me?

Now, not only do they firmly believe in this, but they even put on an air of being experienced people and solemnly impart their secrets to pleasing women.

Mother, have you forgotten who Wu Zhenmin is?

Gu Yunchen couldn't help but shout in his heart, "You said it yourself back then, this woman is an assassin, and a cold-blooded female assassin at that!"

Under such circumstances, how dare you encourage your own son to win the favor of that female assassin? You must be insane.

Encountering such a terrifying woman, a normal person would probably be quite frightened, and their first reaction would usually be to quickly report it to the authorities so that they could arrest her as soon as possible!

"Mother, haven't I told you so many times? There's really nothing like that between her and me..."

However, Jiang Mianmian ignored his words and continued to speak slowly:

"I know, even if we're not in that kind of relationship now, so what? There's a saying that goes, 'Even a strong woman can be won over by persistent suitors'!"

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Mianmian began to mutter to herself, "If she is inexperienced in the ways of the world, then I must take her to experience the various splendors of this world."

But if her heart has already experienced many hardships, then you should take her to travel around and enjoy herself.

If she's just starting to experience romantic feelings, then you might as well be bold, take off your clothes and show her your eight-pack abs...

But if she's already seen it all, then you'll have to obediently wait by the stove and hearth, there's bound to be a condition that suits you!

At this point, Jiang Mianmian, who was standing to the side, revealed a meaningful smile and continued to analyze: "Take this Miss Wu for example!"

In my opinion, you should really think about it carefully. Is she the kind of woman who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, or the kind who has seen it all? If you can figure that out...

“Mother, please stop making wild guesses! Wu Zhenmin already has someone she likes! And the men she likes are all mature men who are much older than her.”

After saying this, Gu Yunchen could only sigh deeply, his face full of helplessness.

Jiang Mianmian glared at him and said irritably, "You haven't even tried hard enough to pursue her, how can you say you can't win her over? You're so unambitious!"

"Mother, you don't know, this really isn't about whether to chase or not."

Think about it, the type of man she likes is completely different from my ideal woman, totally the opposite! So there's absolutely no possibility of us ever getting together.

[Bullshit! Didn't you see that woman lunging at you? There are no impossible things in life.]

Jiang Mianmian rolled her eyes at Gu Yunchen again, thinking that her son was silly and foolish.

[Sigh! I've been nagging you for ages, I haven't even had a sip of water, my throat is parched, and my lips are practically worn thin. But you're completely unresponsive, why won't you listen?]

"Fine, fine, do as you please! When you suffer a great loss because of this, you'll naturally understand that what I said was golden advice."

In short, as long as my third son hasn't completely severed ties with that woman, I will never acknowledge him as my biological son! Hmph!

Gu Yunchen: "..."
