Cheating on her husband's mistress? I seduced her third son.

Chapter 50 A scumbag comes knocking on your door in the middle of the night begging to get back toge

"Ding-dong ding-dong—"

The doorbell rang a few times, breaking the silence of the night.

Su Yutang was not asleep yet. Hearing the noise, she subconsciously thought that Gu Huaiye or Shen Jibai had returned. She threw off the covers, got up, walked to the entrance, and opened the door.

He casually remarked, "Why are you back again?"

When she looked up and saw that it was He Xun outside the door, her face darkened, and she closed the door without thinking.

Just as he put his wrist to work, a pair of large hands suddenly pressed down hard on the door that was about to close.

"Tangtang, don't close the door, I have something to tell you."

"roll!"

Su Yutang didn't want to pay any attention to him.

I don't want to see you.

"Tangtang, listen to me."

He Xun moved forward anxiously, his hand firmly wedged in the crack of the door, refusing to move.

"I'll just go in and ask a few questions, then I'll leave and won't bother you at all."

His hand was firmly gripping the door, and Su Yutang, unable to resist, had no choice but to loosen her grip and open the door, saying coldly, "Ask me what you need to say here."

He Xun squeezed in the moment she opened the door, his eyes sweeping over the shoe cabinet in the entryway. He walked over a few steps, pulled open the cabinet door, and began rummaging through her shoes.

Su Yutang was both angry and suspicious. She stepped forward and coldly questioned, "He Xun, are you out of your mind? What are you doing looking at my shoes in the middle of the night?"

He Xun's gaze was fixed on a pair of high heels in the shoe cabinet.

The style and color were exactly the same as the pair that were seen peeking out from behind the curtains at Gu Chengyan's house that day.

He was right.

He Xun stood up, his gaze fixed on Su Yutang, and asked in a deep voice, "Tangtang, were you the woman hiding behind the curtains and the woman in the closet at Phoenix Villa that day?"

Su Yutang was startled, and her fingertips curled up involuntarily.

Could it be that he saw it back then?

Suppressing her fear, she forced a smile and retorted, "I don't know what you're talking about? What woman behind the curtains? The woman in the closet?"

Regardless of whether she admitted it or not, He Xun kindly advised, "Tangtang, listen to me. I don't care what your relationship with Gu Chengyan is. I'm here today to tell you that Gu Ruyan doesn't know that you're the one who seduced her son. She's forcing me to do everything I can to find the woman hiding in the closet. If she finds out that it's you, you'll be in great danger!"

Seeing that He Xun seemed certain that the person behind the curtain was her, Su Yutang didn't want to waste any more words with him.

"I just work at Gu's and don't want Gu Ruyan to know. You don't need to know anything else. Just keep this a secret for me and don't let her know that I work at Gu's. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Looking at this once incredibly familiar face, He Xun was overwhelmed by memories of tender times from the past.

He couldn't help but slowly raise his hand, wanting to touch her face.

"Don't touch me!"

Su Yutang took a few steps back in disgust.

He Xun's hand froze in mid-air, a look of pain flashing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll keep this secret for you."

He paused, his tone pleading.

"Tangtang, please wait for me a little longer, okay? My company is stable now. Once I finish this project, the company will reach new heights. Please wait for me a little longer, okay?"

Su Yutang gave a cold laugh as she tugged at the corner of her lips.

"Waiting for you? Waiting for what? Waiting for you, you scumbag, to come back? He Xun, you're being far too presumptuous."

He Xun was still not giving up and took a step closer.

"Tangtang, I don't believe you can just forget our relationship of a few months. I know you mind that I was with that old woman, but aren't you with Shen Jibai now? Let's call it even, okay?"

"Once this project is finished, I'll break it off completely with her and come back to you. You must also break it off completely with Shen Jibai. We'll start over. I swear, I'll never have another woman again!"

Su Yutang could hardly believe that someone could be so shameless. She regretted that she had been blind to have fallen for such a person.

"He Xun, there is no future for us. From the moment you betrayed me, it was completely over between us."

She took another step back, creating some distance.

"Our only common ground is completing the company cooperation."

She paused, her tone softening slightly, but still remaining distant.

"Also, thank you for keeping my secret and not exposing my work at Gu's in front of Gu Ruyan. Okay, you can go now."

He Xun still couldn't believe that the woman in front of him could be so resolute.

Maybe she's still angry; she'll be fine once she calms down.

"Tangtang, I know you're still angry with me, and I understand. I was a jerk before, and I was wrong, but I'm a man. Please try to see things from my perspective and understand how difficult it has been for me."

He stared at her, his gaze unwavering.

"I won't give up on you. Once this project is finished, the company will be back on track, even better than before. Then, I'll officially pursue you."

He paused, then spoke each word clearly, almost like a vow.

"Tangtang, I love you!"

He stared at Su Yutang's face, his eyes filled with reluctance, and took two steps back before finally turning to leave.

After Su Yutang waited for him to leave, she immediately closed the door, leaned against it, and let out a deep breath.

"You motherfucker's dead head!"

underground garage.

Shen Jibai did not answer Gu Huaiye's question immediately.

He knew it wasn't the right time yet, and he couldn't be honest.

So he simply replied, "She and I are best friends, my confidantes."

"Who would believe that?"

Gu Huaiye scoffed dismissively.

"There's no such thing as pure friendship between a man and a woman. Look at the way she looks at me, it's definitely not innocent."

Shen Jibai paused, but for the sake of the bigger picture, he abruptly changed the subject, looking at Gu Huaiye with a smirk.

"I like men, especially someone like you. You're so handsome, you're just my type."

"Holy crap!"

Gu Huaiye instantly got goosebumps, took two steps back, and looked wary.

"Stay away from me!"

To make his act convincing and to substantiate his claim, Shen Jibai slowly approached Gu Huaiye with a smirk, his tone flippant yet deliberately ambiguous.

"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you. It's just that you're so beautiful that I can't help but want to look at you more. The first time I saw you upstairs, I thought you were especially beautiful."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, as if to touch his shoulder.

Gu Huaiye panicked instantly, quickly dodging to the side and taking several steps backward.

"Don't come any closer! Don't touch me!"

He quickly turned around, rushed into his car, hurriedly closed the door, and floored the accelerator. The car sped away like an arrow.

Shen Jibai slowly lowered his hand that was outstretched in mid-air, and the smile on his lips gradually disappeared.

three days later.

It was the twenty-fifth birthday of the three Gu brothers.

Gu Ruyan hosted an extremely grand birthday banquet at the Gu residence, inviting wealthy and influential families from all over the country, with a particular preference for families with daughters.

Under the guise of celebrating her birthday, she actually wanted to use the banquet to introduce her three sons to more women from prominent families, find suitable marriage partners for the Gu family, and consolidate the family's power and status.

Gu Xizhou didn't want to see Gu Ruyan, his mother, from the bottom of his heart; the two had always been deeply estranged.

He didn't like large crowds or lively events, but this banquet concerned the reputation of the Gu Group, so even though he was unwilling, he could only suppress his resentment and force himself to attend.

The birthday party was held as scheduled.

However, the three Gu brothers, who should have been the main characters today, have yet to appear.

[Author's Note: Originally, Shen Jibai, the male best friend, was supposed to appear as a supporting male character. However, many readers like him, and it seems the author also likes him... So, the author has temporarily elevated him to one of the male leads.]
