Became a vicious male mother

52

He didn't know why he said those things.

Deep down, I had a feeling that Li Hetai was starting to crave maternal love.

But the person lying inside wasn't Li Hetai's real mother.

The reason why Li Hetai's mother died so quickly is very likely because someone inside did something she shouldn't have done because of her youth and beauty.

This is common in their circle.

Without the support of a powerful family, one cannot keep the people around them.

No wonder Uncle Li seamlessly took over.

But what Yu Jin couldn't accept was that Li Hetai would actually show a desire for love towards the murderer who indirectly killed his own mother.

"Li Hetai, do you know what happened to my illegitimate son who slept like a puppy lover to my mother?"

“He can only be treated like a dog, and anyone can order him around. My mother doesn’t care at all.”

"No one cares about children who aren't related by blood, understand?"

"Li Hetai, don't be fooled by appearances. That's poppy, arsenic coated in honey! It's deadly!"

"..."

Watching Yu Jin jump around like a clown was hilarious.

Xu Mufeng, hiding behind, pursed his lips, finding it all quite amusing.

What on earth happened to Yu that made him say such things?

If Gu Xinglan was indeed married into the family.

Not to mention that her mother was squeezed out by a male mistress, she inexplicably recognized a man as her mother.

Who could swallow this insult?

That guy surnamed Li clearly hates Gu Xinglan.

Because of hatred, one will care and observe, just like jackals and tigers lurking in the deep forest, ready to bite off their prey's neck as soon as they get the chance!

This villa is dangerous!

Gu Xinglan had to leave this place. Even if it meant living a frugal life in the urban village, she couldn't stay in this place that devoured people without spitting out their bones.

Xu Mufeng pondered to himself.

……

"Li Hetai, you really are what they said, you're a freak!"

The sound was almost a roar, echoing through the passageway.

The voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.

Including the people inside the room.

The family doctor paused in applying the medicine and turned his head back.

But there was no one at the door.

"What happened outside?" Gu Xinglan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and turned her head to look at the door with a puzzled expression.

"I'll go outside and take a look."

The family doctor, without looking away, placed the gauze in the medicine box.

It was quiet outside the door.

There was no sound at all, let alone anyone; it was as if what I had just heard was an illusion.

"Young Master Li, are you there?"

No one responded.

The family doctor glanced strangely at the end of the corridor, gripped the doorknob, and slammed the door shut.

The passageway returned to its usual dim, yellowish hue.

at the corner.

With a "bang," Yu Jin's collar was pulled up and she was slammed heavily against the wall.

This was the first time anyone had dared to treat him like this.

It was both ruthless and terrifying.

Who wouldn't treat him with utmost care and affection?

But all the words brewing in her throat couldn't be uttered. Yu Jin could only keep her eyes open in fear, trying to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes.

It didn't last long.

With another "whoosh," Li Hetai released his hand, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

With her back pressed tightly against the wall, the leather jacket scraped against the porcelain wall, making a harsh "squeak" sound. Yu Jin stared blankly as she slowly slid down to sit on the floor.

I have never seen Le Ho Thai like this before.

It's like Satan crawling out of hell and incarnating on earth.

……

"Thank you, doctor. I'd like to rest now."

Upon hearing this, the family doctor raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you hungry? I can ask the kitchen to prepare a late-night snack for you in advance."

"No need." Gu Xinglan's face was pale, but she gave a faint smile. "I don't have the habit of eating late-night snacks."

"Alright, remember not to get the wound wet. I'll be going now." The doctor adjusted his glasses, picked up his medical kit, and left.

Gu Xinglan was left alone in the room.

System: [Host... are you alright?]

The electronic, mechanical voice echoing in my mind inexplicably carried a hint of hesitation and unease.

Having long sensed the sudden return of the feeling in her mind, Gu Xinglan gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'm perfectly fine."

My body is covered in wounds, bandages, and gauze.

Seeing this, the system's electronic voice trembled inexplicably: [It's like this, I went back to check the bugs, and by the way, I requested from the main god to provide you with more convenient services...]

System: [Unexpectedly, the administrator in charge of me... was dismissed, so I rushed back to find you.]

Gu Xinglan paused in her drinking motion, her right hand holding a water glass: "Dismissal?"

Just thinking about it makes me angry.

He was diligent and hardworking, and even if he didn't achieve great things, he certainly put in a lot of effort. He never lost his temper easily, and he was never arrogant because of favors. But when it came to crucial moments, he would betray those who had helped him, and he was always right.

"Can I still trust you? Is there any spirit of cooperation left between us?"

Gu Xinglan slammed the water glass down on the bedside table.

If Li Taihe hadn't arrived in time, he might have died in that abandoned factory and met his end prematurely.

What's the point of talking about regaining memories? What's the point of talking about completing the mission?

Gu Xinglan lowered her eyes, looking at the teeth marks and bandage on her right hand that had not completely faded, as if she wanted to cry but had no tears.

He sighed helplessly to himself.

"There's no point in me getting angry with you now that things have come to this."

The anger had already been vented on someone else.

The one who tied the knot must untie it, right? Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. He was kidnapped because of Li Taihe, so Tong said understandingly, "It's not your fault, but I still can't accept that you abandoned me alone. You have to give me a reason."

The system weakly replied: [There's a reason this system exists... While troubleshooting bugs, it also brings you benefits. This system is with its host!]

"Stop being so glib and tell me what benefits you've brought me while you've been gone for so long."

At this point, the system's mechanical and electronic voices immediately perked up, crackling and buzzing.

[That's right, because you are unprecedented and unparalleled! And because you advanced the hidden storyline without failing the mission, the main god has granted you a permanent, wearable "Rapid Healing" buff. Literally, when equipped, your external injuries will heal at a multiplied rate. However, there is a necessary condition for its activation: you must be receiving healing.]

This buff is good; at least it's not some weird or strange thing.

"Put it on right now." It would be a lie to say the wound doesn't hurt.

He has been trying his best to avoid thinking about what happened a few hours ago.

System: [Wearing "Swift as the Wind" successfully.]

As soon as he finished speaking, the wound on his skin immediately became numb and itchy.

The itching made Gu Xinglan's cheeks burn, and she clenched her teeth, so she could only hug herself and twist into a ball of yarn on the bed.

"System... isn't there anything that doesn't have any side effects?"

System: [Of course! I've also secured a special reward for you, ta-da! — The Rejuvenating Jade Elixir Pill. After taking it, the user will gain skin as white as snow, smooth and delicate as a feather, not only fireproof but also scald-proof. The skin will be permanently non-degradable; even in the apocalypse, your skin will remain intact, achieving the most perfect skin-to-skin, mummy-like appearance!]

What a hell joke.

"Take it further away from me."

System: [...] Finally.

[I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?]

Gu Xinglan lay on the bed, her hand gently touching the bandage on her wound. Her face was flushed, her eyes were watery, and she looked like a red date soaked in honey. She spoke softly:

"Of course it's bad news. Let me tell you the bad news first."

With Li Hetai not around, he couldn't increase his playtime.

Now that he's back at the Changgu villa, his top priority is the danger of not having enough time to survive and facing elimination.

Therefore, everything is fine as long as it's not related to annihilation.
