And as for Gu Tong, she was indeed very respectful and hesitant to cause trouble. If it weren't absolutely necessary, she wouldn't have proactively sought out trouble with Li's mother.
Of course, this time the situation was different, so one couldn't view it with common perceptions.
"You, you..."
Li's mother was almost driven to rage; she never imagined in her wildest dreams that Li Yan would protect this little wench so unconditionally, as if she was the one bullying Gu Tong.
She was furious inside, saying, "I have raised you for so many years! Yet I'm not as important as your wife? Do you have any conscience left? Are you an ungrateful creature?"
Li's mother pounded her chest and stamped her feet, desperately venting her dissatisfaction, saying, "You are simply too much. Are you trying to drive me to death! Do you think I'm in your way? If I die, would you find it more convenient then..."
She nonsensically blamed them, as if all the faults lay with the young couple.
