Chapter 12: Heading to the Shu family's villa!
Gu Lin clenched her hand causing a small amount of blood to appear.
Gritting her teeth she felt like her son was being stolen from her...
By a fucking dog!
Feeling that her emotions were getting unstable she stopped gritting her teeth and instead bit her smooth lip which drew blood.
'Why do I feel so angry!?'
'He is obviously just dancing with Scout... It's not like it's a woman.'
Gu Lin suddenly felt a raging headache appear.
Not being able to handle the scene in front of her any longer, she walked over to the Bluetooth speaker that was on her son's bed and turned it off.
Gu Xia who was dancing suddenly stopped when his ears didn't hear the music resounding through his room.
"???"
Confused, he stopped holding Scout's paws and instead looked over to where his Bluetooth speaker was only to see his mother showing an icy glare toward him.
'Why is she glaring at me?'
Gu Xia who was in disbelief didn't understand why his mother was angry.
It had not even been an hour since he spoke with her about canceling the engagement, and she was in a good mood at the time...
So why is she mad now?
"Mother, why are you angry? You can tell me."
Gu Xia showed a gentle smile on the outside but internally he was beyond enraged just thinking someone bullied his mother!
He clenched both of his hands which began drawing blood and his eyes began turning a little bloodshot.
The atmosphere turned cold...
'Who is the stupid fuck that bullied my mother!? I'll kill them... I'll make them regret...'
His eyes went crazed and his expression turned distorted.
The reason why he was so mad was that in every life he went through, Gu Lin, his mother was always beside his side and always forgave him for fucking up and causing their family to lose hundreds of millions dollars worth of property...
Even when their Gu family was destroyed and they lost everything she told him it wasn't his fault and it was because she failed at being a mother.
After this same scene played on his 200th restart, he finally broke down crying.
He kept apologizing over and over as told his mother he didn't want to do this...
Gu Lin just showed a gentle smile as she embraced him.
For the first time since he arrived in this novel world, Gu Xia felt at peace.
But...
As he was about to embrace his mother, a gunshot resounded through the area...
Gu Xia's heart sank because he knew exactly what was supposed to happen at this time...
He just forgot because was tied into his emotions.
He failed to realize that at this point Lin Fan was supposed to appear and kill off the rest of the Gu family.
The next second passed and his mother was dead only leaving behind a small smile.
It was directly at that point Gu Xia lost many emotions and felt so much hatred for the protagonist.
Gu Lin, who didn't know that her son was thinking about his past, just saw that her son was showing a dark expression that slightly made her feel timid and her feet felt like they would collapse underneath her
'M-My son can make that type of face?'
Although she was scared she wouldn't dare show that on her face!
"No one bullied me... I was just... A little angry that you didn't want to sing and dance with me."
Gu Xia who heard his mother's words as she spoke quietly under her breath felt instant relief and the expression he was making turned back to gentleness.
Even the atmosphere changed to that of calmness.
Walking forward, Gu Xia hugged his mother, catching her by surprise.
"Mother, if anyone bullies you and I mean anyone! No matter who they are, I promise you I will help you."
Hearing her son's words Gu Lin felt her face become hot and her body twitched embarrassingly.
"I-I understand... You can let go of me now..."
Gu Xia stopped embracing his mother and patted her head.
Gu Lin just stood there pouting her cheeks.
'Hmph! I swear my son is too overprotective of me!'
Though on the outside she was pouting on the inside she felt butterflies in her stomach.
Not in her entire life has she ever felt this safe.
"So, why did you enter my room?"
Gu Xia asked nicely.
Gu Lin stopped pouting and showed a frown.
"The Shu family wants to talk in person about the engagement. I tried to get the old man to explain to them that we are a superior family and we didn't need to explain anything to them! But of course your father said he might as well show some face to them!"
*Sigh...*
Gu Xia sighed when he heard his mothers words...
'Damn, I'm guessing the plot somehow affected my dad, because I know how prideful he is, he would never show face to an inferior family...'
'Well at this point I'll just keep my mouth shut... After all there's no reason to bitch.'
'I'll head over with my parents and directly make myself clear that I want to cancel this engagement.'
After some time talking to himself Gu Xia shrugged his shoulders as he looked his mother in the eyes.
"It's fine, I will just go over and I'll personally handle it."
Gu Lin showed a proud expression on her face as if she was saying, "Look! That's my alpha son!"
Though she couldn't help but feel disappointed with her husband Gu Luo...
'What is that old man thinking!? This is how a member of the Gu family is supposed to act!'
Gu Xia who saw his mother's expression change multiple times ignored it and began walking toward the door which was the entrance and exit for his room.
"Mother, let's head out it's getting late might as well get this over with."
Snapping out of her thoughts Gu Lin nodded her head and followed obediently behind her son.
Once they left the villa they met up with Gu Luo who was patiently waiting outside smoking a cigar next to his light blue Rolls-Royce Dawn.
Seeing his son and wife appearing he showed an indifferent expression as he put out his cigar and entered the driver's seat.
"Hurry up."
Gu Luo who was all of a sudden impatient ordered Gu Xia and Gu Lin to move their assess.
Gu Xia didn't think any of it as he knew the plot was causing his father's personality to slightly be altered so the plot could advance.
Gu Lin on the other hand was a different story...
After all she had no idea she was in a novel world, so she just saw her husband being a S-Class Prick...
Once Gu Lin and Gu Xia were seated and buckled in, Gu Luo wasted no time and began driving toward the Shu family's villa.
