I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 325 - 293: A Grand Drama (Part 3)

"Xie Yunhai, you ungrateful wretch, you’re just like your father. I am your mother, who gave birth to and raised you, yet you ignore me. Do you believe I won’t report your unfilial behavior to your superiors?"

When Gu Jinhong’s slap came, Xie Yunhai immediately grabbed her hand, rendering her unable to move.

"Fine! Even if you don’t call them today, I want to call them, and I’ll even take a walk to your workplace to let them recognize your true colors."

"You..." Gu Jinhong’s earlier words were just a threat. She didn’t really want to escalate the situation. She tried to break free but found the grip only becoming tighter.

"Ungrateful wretch, let go, you unfilial son!"

Xie Yunhai didn’t bother with words. He had Jiang Yuan call Director Jian, and Jian Nanqing came along to watch the spectacle. Jiang Yuan from the security department joined, and they also called someone from the Southern Institute—Duke of Thunder Wen Yu came.

A group of people grandly headed to the neighboring water plant where Gu Jinhong worked as a union director.

Xie Yunhai led the people to the union office, where Gu Jinhong’s colleagues were present.

The slightly plump female colleague was the union chairwoman, Lin Jing. Seeing this scene, she was bewildered, but she knew Jian Qian and was aware that a plant director wouldn’t cause trouble without reason, so it’d be best to understand the context.

Only then did Xie Yunhai release his grip, but as soon as Gu Jinhong regained her freedom, she immediately grabbed a chair to smash at Xie Yunhai. This time, he didn’t dodge.

By the time others reacted, the chair had already lost a leg.

Jian Qian’s face changed, and he hurried to stop Gu Jinhong’s second attempt.

"Comrade Gu, what are you doing? Are you planning to beat him to death? As his superior, I cannot allow you to harm him further."

Gu Jinhong’s fingers trembled with anger. "Why don’t you ask that beast what he’s done to me?" She rolled up her sleeve, revealing the red marks encircling the wrist from being dragged by Xie Yunhai.

Jian Qian’s face remained unchanged. "I am aware of my subordinates. He is of good character. Without special reason, he would never treat Ms. Gu like this."

The implication was clear: whoever started it is in the wrong!

Better to ask yourself what you did to provoke him. With so many witnesses watching, she dared to injure her son with a chair, even drawing blood on his head.

Gu Jinhong sneered, "That’s because you don’t understand him. I gave birth to him. I know him best. He’s a lone wolf without humanity. Now that he’s accomplished, he doesn’t care if the family lives or dies; he only enjoys himself outside."

Jiang Yuan was stunned: Is Director Xie that kind of person? No wonder he never mentioned his family over the years.

Jian Nanqing couldn’t stand listening anymore. She knew quite a lot about Brother Xie’s matters.

"Shut up. Wasn’t it you who didn’t want him first? He lost his father at a young age, and as his mother, you turned around and found another man. That man even brought a stepchild into his house, occupying Yunhai’s room, and you, as a mother, didn’t say a word."

The union members exchanged glances, then looked at Gu Jinhong together: Is something wrong with her head?

Moreover, they never knew Gu Jinhong had a son. They only saw the daughter of Gu Jinhong, who often came over to mooch braised pork.

So, that daughter is the stepchild?

Gu Jinhong was livid, but it was too late to tell them to shut up when things had developed to this point.

"Who are you? Who are you to interrupt when I’m talking to my son?"

Jian Nanqing wasn’t easily frightened; she was raised with her father’s pampering.

"It’s true Yunhai is your son, but have you ever treated him like your son?

Your man is a wastrel who vents his anger on Yunhai. Yunhai has been abused and beaten since childhood. Where was his mother then?"

"I..." Gu Jinhong suddenly panicked. So many years had passed; she thought Yunhai had forgotten, but how did even an outsider know?

"You watched with indifference, as if the one being beaten to death was not your son, but a stray dog on the street."

The office fell into a deep silence! Even the colleagues watching the commotion from the doorway took a sharp breath, having never seen or heard anything like this before. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

One always hears about abusing other people’s children while protecting one’s own, but it’s unheard of to stand by and watch others abuse one’s own child. How dare she claim to be a mother?

Both inside and out, the colleagues’ gazes towards Gu Jinhong changed, becoming intriguing and contemplative.

In that moment, the good reputation Gu Jinhong had built in the factory crumbled instantly.

"No, it’s not like that... She’s slandering me."

"Slandering you?" Suddenly, a voice came from the door, and people squeezed aside at the entrance, revealing Jiang Ming’an’s face.
