Gu Zhichuan's expression shifted from impatience to anger, "You've bribed someone close to me again?"
"Bribe sounds so unpleasant." Mrs. Gu's eyes darted around as she stammered, "Mum is worried about you, just casually asking about your situation, I wouldn't harm you. He's paid by our Gu family, so what's wrong with telling me a few things? Isn't that what he's supposed to do?"
Yes, she wouldn't harm him, but who could tolerate being watched by those close to them and having their movements reported to someone else?
Mrs. Gu truly wore down all his patience and tolerance.
As a son, he was willing to provide for her, but Mrs. Gu's actions were like ropes tying him down, attempting to restrict his every move to comply with her wishes.
"Go back, I'm fine," Gu Zhichuan didn't ask who had been bribed, as Mrs. Gu likely wouldn't tell him, but he had ways to find the person.
His voice was cold, long since worn of any familial warmth by Mrs. Gu's repeated actions.
