Chapter 91 My Mom Was a Literary Master in the 1990s
"Brother Gu, I only got in here because I asked my friend for help. Don't cause trouble if things don't work out later."
"Hey, Liu Quan, do you really have so little faith in your Brother Gu? Back then, Si Yan was head over heels in love with me. She even severed ties with her own parents for me."
Gu Cheng looked at Liu Quan with a smug expression.
Knowing Si Yan as he did, he knew she would jump for joy when she saw him.
Liu Quan hesitated, wondering if Si Yan was no longer a young woman. She had already been abandoned once, and her child was already so grown up. Did she still love Gu Cheng as much as before?
After finishing her speech, Si Yan took Gu Xiuyuan, who was on his way home from school, home for lunch.
When school ended, Gu Xiuyuan suddenly became very popular. Classmates who usually didn't greet him or didn't know him at all came up to say hello to him.
However, he knew that these students actually wanted to see their mothers, but Gu Xiuyuan still greeted them with a smile.
Regardless of the situation, responding when someone greets you is basic courtesy.
Gu Xiuyuan hates it when he greets people warmly but they ignore him; it's really hurtful.
Gu Xiuyuan kept talking the whole way.
"Mom, the science fiction you told today was so amazing! When you told it, I felt like I was in another world. It was so wonderful."
Seeing Gu Xiuyuan's exaggerated expression, Si Yan couldn't stop laughing.
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"No, no, no, I'm not exaggerating at all, I'm telling the truth."
As Gu Xiuyuan walked, he shared his thoughts with Si Yan.
And Xiaoqi, the system that hadn't been seen for a long time, also popped up.
Of course! Your mom was telling a story from another timeline. Aren't parallel universes timelines?
[Xiaoqi, is the system upgrade complete? You even have time to show your face now.]
Si Yan glanced at the system Xiao Qi floating in the void and was relieved to see that its energy bar was full.
[Host, friendly reminder: your ex-husband is waiting for you downstairs. I'm outta here; there are still some bugs to fix. Good luck.]
Si Yan's eyes hardened; she was ready to meet force with force.
Sure enough, after Si Yan and her son came out from the corner, they saw Gu Cheng and Liu Quan squatting downstairs.
Upon seeing Si Yan appear, Liu Quan's eyes lit up, and he patted Gu Cheng, who looked impatient.
"Brother Gu, get up quickly, Si Yan and the others are here."
Gu Cheng quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, and then walked towards Si Yan and her son with a smile.
Upon seeing Gu Cheng arrive, Gu Xiuyuan's smiling face instantly darkened.
"What are you doing here? Your mother and I don't welcome you."
Gu Xiuyuan, like a little adult, spread his arms to shield his mother.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Liu Quan also stood up and said a few words.
"Xiuyuan, your father came here especially to see you. He loves you the most."
"That's right, Xiuyuan, have you forgotten? When you were little, you wanted to see fireflies, and your father spent the whole night squatting on the mountain to catch a jar of fireflies for you."
Seeing Si Yan's cold expression, Gu Cheng sensed something was wrong and could only try to approach the children first.
For women, children are their Achilles' heel.
"Dad, stop talking. Ever since you abandoned me and Mom for another woman, you've had no place in my heart. I don't know what you're trying to do, but please don't show your face in front of us again, okay?"
Gu Xiuyuan said coldly.
"Why are you so petty, child? Dad wants to give you a warm home. Don't you want a home where you have both a dad and a mom?"
Gu Xiuyuan rolled his eyes after hearing this. Does this mean that men become greasy as they get to middle age?
"No, do you hear me? Move aside, we're going home."
"Xiuyuan, you..."
"Alright, Gu Cheng, stop talking and stop making things difficult for the child."
Gu Cheng was about to say something when Si Yan interrupted him.
"I know what you're thinking. I can only tell you it's impossible. We've already been very kind by not kicking you when you're down. If you have any self-respect left, I advise you to leave."
Si Yan's words were harsh, so harsh that Gu Cheng clenched his fists, his inner energy surging.
Seeing Gu Cheng's expression, Liu Quan was extremely nervous. He hoped that a fight would break out, or he would be in serious trouble.
After all, Si Yan's status is different now than before, and she cannot be offended.
Just then, Si's father's voice came from the side, because there were several big trees where Gu Cheng and the other person were standing.
Mr. Si was so caught up in his joy that he didn't notice them for a moment.
"Yanyan, good news! Lao Liu just called me and said that your martial arts novel has sold over three million copies. Not only that, but a film and television company in Hong Kong wants to talk to you about buying the copyright."
"How are you? Aren't you overjoyed?"
Mr. Si ran over excitedly, but he never expected to see the person he least wanted to see.
"Gu Cheng, what are you doing here? How dare you show your face in front of my daughter?"
"What, now that you're bankrupt, you've finally remembered my daughter? I even pulled strings for you back then; thinking about it now, I really want to strangle my past self."
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Mr. Si changed the subject and said again.
"Gu Cheng, you don't know, do you? Bankrupting you is just a matter of a word from me. Someone like you should go back to where you came from."
Upon hearing what Si's father said, Gu Cheng's eyes widened instantly.
"Oh, so it was you, you old geezer, who was messing with me all along. Why didn't I make you angry to death back then?"
Gu Cheng was about to make a move when he spoke, and Si's father was not to be outdone, so he rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move as well.
Si Yan raised her hand and pulled her father back. How could she let her elders do such a thing?
Before Gu Cheng could react, he kicked out.
Gu Cheng was unable to dodge in time and took a solid kick.
"Whoops"
He lay on the ground groaning, unable to get up for a long time.
Just then, the security guard came over, and Si Yan immediately asked him to ask them all to leave.
Having been kicked out, Gu Cheng could only slink away. With little money left, he had no choice but to return to Wangjia Village to live the life he was meant to live.
But later, when he often heard people talk about Si Yan, even he couldn't believe that such a famous writer had really been his wife.
But that's for the future. Right now, Si Yan is looking at her father with concern.
Seeing that her father was red with anger, Si Yan quickly stepped forward, patted his back, and calmed him down.
"Dad, he's just a stranger. Why are you getting so worked up? You might hurt yourself."
Mr. Si looked relieved; his daughter had finally become sensible.
“Yanyan, Dad is so glad that you woke up. When I saw the kind of life you were living in the countryside that day, I felt like the sky had fallen.”
"Okay, Dad, let's not talk about that anymore. Tell me about the good thing you just mentioned."
Si Yan patted her father on the shoulder, her eyes full of smiles.
"Yes, yes, I have something else to tell you. Aren't you going to Taipei to receive an award? The person in charge of Gangcheng Film Company is also there, so Dad took the liberty of arranging for you to meet in Taipei."
"Don't be angry. Dad has inquired about it. This film company has a good reputation, and their adaptations are very profound. Dad just thought, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could bring your work to the big screen?"
Si Yan and her father have agreed on a date to go to Taipei.
Si Yan was unaware that the adaptation of martial arts novels was fraught with difficulties, and new challenges awaited her in Taipei.
