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

Chapter 56: I kicked the eldest and second eldest brothers out of the house, while the third eldest

Gu Huaiye's words were like a pebble thrown into the center of a lake, instantly stirring up panic in Gu Chengyan's heart.

He almost subconsciously looked at Su Yutang in his arms, afraid of seeing even the slightest sadness or anger on her face.

The gift in his hand suddenly became insignificant, and he hurriedly put it on the cabinet next to him and immediately explained.

"Yutang, don't listen to his nonsense. At that time..."

"elder brother."

Gu Huaiye interrupted him, his tone as calm as if he were stating a fact.

"That day in your office, didn't I ask you directly what your relationship was with Yutang? You told me that you were just superior and subordinate, nothing more. Didn't I then ask if I could pursue Tangtang, and you said yes?"

Gu Chengyan glared at Gu Huaiye, finding his younger brother utterly annoying for the first time.

When he turned back, Su Yutang pushed him away from her embrace.

She lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly. When she raised her face again, her eyes were red and tears kept falling.

"Gu Chengyan!"

Her voice was choked with sobs.

"I don't blame you. From now on, I will never force you with those photos and videos again. I will delete them all. You are free. We... are over."

Gu Chengyan's heart clenched suddenly, filled with both panic and pain.

He rushed forward and wiped away her tears, his fingertips trembling.

"I'm sorry, Yutang, I'm so sorry... I admit I said some awful things before, but that was before. Now I like you, no, I've fallen in love with you!"

He grasped her hand, his voice low and urgent.

"From today onwards, you are my girlfriend. I will treat you with all my heart and only be good to you!"

Gu Huaiye was afraid she would nod in agreement the next moment.

He immediately stepped forward, grabbed Su Yutang's other hand, and pleaded, "Tangtang, I'm the man who has loved you from the very beginning. I can give you anything you want. Be with me, okay?"

Su Yutang looked at the two brothers arguing heatedly over her, her face contorted with heartbreak and exhaustion.

She forcefully broke free from their hands, took a step back, and her gaze first fell on Gu Chengyan's face.

"Gu Chengyan, don't you think it's too late for you to say all this now?"

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and tears welled up again.

"You actually...you actually agreed to let your brother pursue me? What am I to you?"

She shook her head, becoming agitated.

"I hate you! All of you get out of here! I never want to see any of you again!"

As she spoke, she used all her strength to push the two of them toward the door.

Gu Chengyan and Gu Huaiye were not expected to react so strongly, and they were pushed out the door by her while staggering.

Just before the door closed, Su Yutang raised her eyes and looked deeply at Gu Chengyan with eyes brimming with tears, despair, and heartbreak.

Then, she looked at Gu Huaiye, her expression complex and unreadable.

Finally, she hardened her heart and slammed the door shut with a loud "bang".

After the door closed, Su Yutang leaned against the door panel and slowly let out a sigh of relief.

She raised her hand and calmly wiped away the tears on her face. Then, a sly and playful smile appeared on her lips, completely different from her previous sad and upset expression.

The show is finally about to begin.

Outside.

Gu Chengyan's urgent voice pierced through the door.

"Yutang, open the door and let me explain. I've truly fallen in love with you! Let's start over, okay?"

Then came Gu Huaiye's defiant voice.

"Tangtang, don't do this! You hate my brother, but you can't push me away too! My feelings for you have always been genuine!"

Su Yutang listened to the two people outside the door confessing their love, and only gave a soft sneer.

She didn't bother to reply and walked towards the bedroom.

Outside.

Seeing that Su Yutang still wouldn't open the door, Gu Chengyan finally turned all his anger on Gu Huaiye beside him.

He punched Gu Huaiye hard in the face, shouting angrily, "It's all your fault! Why did you have to say those things? What were you thinking?"

Gu Huaiye was knocked to the side and staggered a step.

He slowly raised his hand and used the pad of his thumb to wipe away the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, without retaliating.

He simply glanced at his enraged brother and gave a blood-stained smile.

"Brother, what did I say wrong?"

He took a step closer, lowering his voice.

"If you hadn't said those things back then, why would she treat you like this today? Now that she's chosen to push you away, then..."

Gu Huaiye raised his chin slightly and declared in a declarative tone, "From now on, I will officially and openly pursue her!"

"You dare!"

Gu Chengyan grabbed his collar, his eyes burning with fury.

"I told you, she's my woman! You're not allowed to pursue her!"

Gu Huaiye let him pull him, only raising an eyebrow, his tone even carrying a hint of provocation.

"Brother, she didn't agree to your request just now. Instead, she kicked you out and dragged me into it too. I'm being lenient by not blaming you."

He brushed Gu Chengyan's hand away and straightened his collar.

"Alright, I have to go back now. I'll get a good night's sleep tonight and be fully rested. Starting tomorrow, I'll use every method I can to pursue her until she agrees."

He patted Gu Chengyan's shoulder, the movement seemingly casual, but the force was not light, and there was no sign of backing down in his eyes.

"Even between brothers, accounts must be kept clear! When it comes to pursuing a wife, I won't hold back, and I certainly won't give you any special treatment just because you're the older brother."

After saying that, he ignored Gu Chengyan's furious glare and turned to leave decisively.

Gu Chengyan looked at the tightly closed door with deep regret.

He hated himself for being so slow to realize his mistake, hated himself for saying he was just talking about a superior-subordinate relationship, and hated himself for not recognizing his feelings for Su Yutang sooner, causing her to suffer such injustice.

The way Su Yutang looked at him was like a dull knife, scraping at his heart, making it painful even to breathe.

He didn't want to leave.

Even if she doesn't want to see him right now, he doesn't want to leave.

bedroom.

Gu Xizhou slowly unwrapped the birthday gift Su Yutang had given him; inside was a finely textured genuine leather belt.

He held the belt, his nose tingled, and he couldn't help but hug it tightly to his chest, his eyes instantly turning red.

Suddenly the door was pushed open, and Su Yutang walked in.

Gu Xizhou looked up and saw Su Yutang approaching him. Seeing his reddened eyes, she asked with a mixture of helplessness and tenderness, "Why are you crying again?"

Gu Xizhou held up the belt in his hand, his voice choked with emotion, and said, "I really like this gift. Thank you, I will cherish it for the rest of my life!"

Su Yutang was slightly taken aback.

Seeing how much he cherished it, I was a little puzzled.

It's just an ordinary belt, why such a big reaction?

She pursed her lips: "Actually... this gift isn't worth much money. I don't have much savings, so I could only afford something like this... I'm afraid you're used to better things and won't appreciate something so cheap."

"No, this is the best!"

Gu Xizhou immediately stood up, gripping the leather belt tightly with both hands as if holding some rare treasure.

"This is the first birthday present I've ever received in my life, and it's the best gift I could ever have!"

Su Yutang was even more surprised.

A belt that costs only a few hundred yuan could make him cherish it to the point that his eyes reddened and his voice choked up.

What exactly did he experience in the past?

She subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall.

The clock had quietly struck eleven.

I was about to tell them it was getting late and they should rest, but then I remembered the two people outside the door; they might not have left yet.

She looked back at Gu Xizhou, who was holding the gift, and said, "I'm glad you like it."

Then, he added another sentence.

"Don't leave tonight, stay and sleep with me."
