Became a vicious male mother

62

"Madam Li, one last question."

The female reporter looked up, her tone inquisitive: "What was your first impression of Mr. Li's son, Li Hetai, the young master?"

Li Hetai?

Upon hearing the keyword, Gu Xinglan paused for a moment, then silently shifted her gaze.

I want to search for someone.

I haven't seen him since I saw him at the restaurant this morning.

But that somewhat frail figure was nowhere to be seen in the hall.

"Him?... He's alright, I guess." He remained silent even after being slapped in the face.

"Could you elaborate?" the male reporter asked with a smile, pressing his advantage.

In front of the media, at least Li Taihe wouldn't allow him to publicly belittle the Li family. Since his current backer is Li Taihe, he naturally has to treat him like a revered Buddha.

Anyway, the kids aren't here, so the playtime can't be increased.

Gu Xinglan moved her lips, trying to dig something out of her mind, and said softly, "This child has good genes, is pretty, has a good appetite, but is thin. She also has a regular schedule, is agile, and quick-witted, but she is actually stubborn. She doesn't like to talk, but her body will secretly compete with you. She doesn't like noisy people, and she likes..." likes what the most.

Unable to find a reason to continue, Gu Xinglan stopped talking: "That's all."

"Wow, you're very observant. So, what about the most important thing, the first impression?"

First impression?

He had two first impressions of Li Taihe, which sounded contradictory. When he first met the adult Li Hetai in his previous life, the man looked like a successful businessman who could say anything nice and speak to anyone. But now, he had become the man's stepmother and was meeting the child version of Li Hetai for the first time. The child was a quiet little boy who liked to keep his head down. He had none of the shrewdness and cunning of an adult.

"Why don't you ask him what his first impression of me was?" Gu Xinglan asked back, pursing her lips.

They knew the people on the sofa didn't want to answer their questions.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

The female reporter looked at the large pile of trivial information in her hand with a sense of helplessness.

There was nothing useful inside.

……

"Well, it's about time, we should head back."

The reporter who had finished interviewing Li Taihe stood up and looked at the watch on his wrist.

Outside the villa, wind and rain raged, and the sound of the wind howling incessantly could be heard through the thick walls.

"Brother... the rain is too heavy, it's hard for us to drive." A reporter who had already reached the entrance opened the door a crack, his hair almost blown away, and shouted repeatedly into the main hall.

"Let me check the typhoon warning." The lead reporter clicked his tongue in apparent exasperation.

If the rain in Wushui at seven o'clock in the morning was just a little heavier than usual, now it's like a waterfall cascading down, making the whole city shake.

"Oh no, this typhoon is heading north, and the water level of the Wushui River is likely to rise."

The lead reporter, looking solemnly at his phone with a few more fine lines between his brows, glanced at Li Taihe with a helpless look in his eyes and said, "Mr. Li, could we rest here for a bit?"

"of course."

Li Taihe continued the reporter's words without any hesitation: "We had planned for everyone to have lunch at the Changgu Villa before leaving. Please don't be shy, the villa has plenty of food."

It is 11:00 AM.

In other words, less than two hours had passed since he was taken away for questioning by Li Taihe, not to mention that the reporters were asking questions like machine guns, very quickly, and it didn't take much time.

But he always felt like an eternity had passed, and he was exhausted and sleepy.

"Sorry, I don't have an appetite and don't want to eat lunch, so I'll be leaving now." Gu Xinglan stood up, clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, and leaned slightly forward as she spoke.

Her appearance was indescribably exquisite and elegant.

Before the reporters in the main hall could react, Gu Xinglan lowered her head slightly and stepped leisurely across the threshold of the main hall.

"Mr. Li, you and your wife are truly in love." The female reporter turned her gaze away and looked at Li Taihe, whose eyes had been following a certain beautiful figure.

"Yes, the moment I saw him, I knew we should grow old together."

After he finished speaking, no one dared to respond.

"Ahem," the lead reporter changed the subject, "I've always been curious about your story of starting from scratch. Could you tell us about your experience of building your business together with your mentor?"

"please……"

The sound gradually faded away.

As Gu Xinglan walked deeper into the passage, she could no longer hear the reporters and Li Taihe talking.

"System, how much time do I have left?"

System: [Approximately sixty-three hours.]

Without Le Ho Thai by my side, time slips away at a rate comparable to a runaway horse.

System: [You can now go find the target of your task and thoroughly humiliate them. That way, you'll get your time points, right?]

There is something right in what you said.

Gu Xinglan looked left and right to make sure no one was around, then reached into the wig.

He had just put the key to Li Hetai's room into the wig net.

This wig has thick and secure hair, so you don't have to worry about it falling out or being exposed.

The key was pulled out of the hairnet.

Gu Xinglan blew on her hair, removing all the body heat and stray hairs that were stuck to her.

"Let's go find our lovely time discount coupons."

Perhaps this is the first time I've encountered such severe weather since I came into this world.

Feeling vaguely uneasy, Gu Xinglan followed her memory to that unchanging corridor.

For some reason, the corridor lights were not on.

It was dim and smelled of dust and decay.

They could only rely on the faint light from outside the window to discern the route ahead.

System: [Host, are you scared? I can be your chat buddy.]

"I'm not scared."

The environment has a great influence on people's emotions. Some people may develop mild depression due to several months of continuous rainy weather.

This is related to the fear caused by the brain constantly imagining the unknown when walking alone at night. Like now, gloomy weather can breed negative emotions such as sadness.

He just suddenly felt that the location of Li Hetai's backlit room wasn't very good.

"System, if I keep Li Hetai by my side, do you think that counts as cheating?"

System: [If you're not afraid the target might kill you when you're not looking, feel free.]

Thinking of how skillfully Li Hetai handled the knife yesterday, as if he had practiced countless times and was extremely adept at it, I felt a shiver run down my spine.

He couldn't guarantee that.

They arrived at Li Hetai's door.

The key was inserted, and with a few clicks, the door opened quickly.

The door wasn't locked, which suggests he didn't lock it when he left the room this morning, or perhaps the room's owner was inside.

Gu Xinglan did not turn the doorknob directly, but knocked a few times tentatively.

Breaking into someone's room without permission is inherently immoral.

He glanced around nervously a few times, then slipped away and ran into the room in a flash.

On the carpet, the blankets that should have been crooked and disheveled were now neatly folded and placed on the bed, indicating that the room's occupant had returned.

But the huge floor-to-ceiling window was only half a person's width open, making a whooshing sound, and rain kept running in through the gap.

The window was still tightly closed when he left.

Gu Xinglan walked over, gritted her teeth, and laboriously pulled the French window to one side.

The pulleys and tracks rubbed together constantly, producing a piercing "squeak" sound.
