Villainous son, kneel down, Mom's begging you for a favor.

Chapter 14 The Son's Vulnerability

Chapter Fourteen: The Son's Vulnerability

But the strange thing is——

No one knew her origins.

Backstage at a prime-time hit variety show, a pair of well-defined hands turned off a phone screen.

"Teacher Gu, it's almost your turn to go on stage, get ready!"

The staff came in from outside.

Gu Tingyu smiled gently, "Okay, I understand, thank you for reminding me."

The staff member was dazzled by the bright smile, quickly said "You're welcome," and carefully closed the door and left.

"Ahhh, he's an award-winning actor and he's still so humble. There's a reason he's so popular."

After he walked away, the "humble" top star Gu Tingyu sneered.

He reopened his phone and looked at the name "Li Yan" that was frequently appearing in the group chat, his eyes filled with sarcasm.

He sent a text message saying his mother was still alive, and then immediately found a lover with the same name as his mother.

Gu Tingyan, you're way more completely insane than I am!

......

Meanwhile, Li Yan took Gu Tingyan home and cooked him a bowl of hangover soup.

"You reek of alcohol. I wonder how much you drank. Are you still feeling unwell?"

Gu Tingyan's eyes were moved; he hadn't heard this kind of simple yet heartwarming concern in a long time.

"It's okay. When I first took over the company, I had to attend business dinners and drink every day. I've gotten used to it."

Why did you come to pick me up with the driver?

Li Yan paused, looked at Gu Tingyan's exhausted face, and finally shook her head.

"You should get some rest first, we can talk about the rest tomorrow!"

Gu Tingyan: "Mom, I'm perfectly sober now. Go ahead and tell me, I won't be able to sleep when I get back anyway."

Li Yan's eyes showed even more heartache. She was determined to find a way to cure A Yan's insomnia.

Then I asked, "I looked through A-Yu's Weibo and saw in the comments that he was once abducted and trafficked. Is that true?"

Gu Tingyan was taken aback, thinking that his mother was blaming him. His body tensed slightly, and he lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice.

"Mom, I failed to protect my brother. I'm so sorry..."

Li Yan was instantly at a loss, and she hugged her son tightly.

"Ayan, Mom doesn't mean to blame you. I just want to know what exactly happened between you two?"

Tears welled up in her eyes. The thought of her two children enduring the ordeal of being abducted made her heart clench, and she could barely breathe.

Seeing his mother's tears, Gu Tingyan panicked and gently wiped them away with his fingertips.

"It's alright, Mom, it's all over now."

Li Yan choked up, "Ayan, tell me the truth. As your mother, I have the right to know how much you have suffered."

Helpless, Gu Tingyan helped his mother to the sofa and briefly recounted what had happened back then.

"When you had that accident, you left behind a huge fortune."

"But no matter how they fight over it, the inheritance rights will always remain with me and my younger siblings."

"They didn't want to end up with nothing, so they wanted to wipe us out before we came of age and could legally inherit the shares."

"But my brother and I were lucky, and we both came back safely."

Seeing Li Yan's red eyes, Gu Tingyan took her hand and placed it on his cheek.

"Mom, don't be sad. It's all over now. Aren't I doing fine?"

Looking at her son's mature and handsome face, Li Yan rushed over and burst into tears.

"Sons, Mom will never leave you again."

The person in Gu Tingyan's arms was bathed in warm light.

"Yes, I also hope that Mom won't leave me."

He has already—

I can't bear the pain of gaining something and then losing it again.

After a cathartic outburst of tears, the twelve-year gap between the mother and son seemed to have shortened considerably.
