They wanted you to divorce and leave, but you became a rich woman's dream man.

Chapter 214 (Must Read): Xiao Huiyu brings Gao Jun home; does Zhou Shumei know his identity?!

Zhou Shumei became somewhat flustered after Gao Jun's silhouette appeared in Lin Xinxuan's WeChat Moments.

She didn't know whether her sister-in-law knew Gao Jun or not.

What if they both happen to know Gao Jun, and they happen to have that kind of relationship?

This is awkward.

So, Zhou Shumei went to Lin Xinxuan's house.

Upon seeing Zhou Shumei, Zhang Qinglan immediately pulled her aside and asked, "I heard you had a fight with Beishan?"

Zhou Shumei asked awkwardly, "Sister Qinglan, why are you asking about this?"

Logically speaking, Zhang Qinglan is Zhou Shumei's mother-in-law, but the two are about the same age.

Calling her "mother-in-law" made Zhang Qinglan look much older.

Therefore, Zhang Qinglan does not allow Zhou Shumei to call her mother-in-law.

Zhang Qinglan replied, "I heard it from Xuanxuan. She said she went to your place before and felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange."

“We did have a fight recently,” Zhou Shumei explained.

Zhang Qinglan comforted her, saying, "You two have been married for a long time, so don't fight anymore. You might quarrel at the head of the bed, but you'll be back in bed soon. You're an old married couple now."

Zhou Shumei nodded, then asked Zhang Qinglan, "By the way, where is Xinxuan?"

“She hasn’t come back yet, what’s wrong?” Zhang Qinglan asked.

Zhou Shumei shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and then became curious again: "By the way, wasn't Xinxuan dating that guy before? How is it going now?"

Zhang Qinglan couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't know. According to her, she still likes that man and seems determined to marry him. It's giving me a headache."

"Aren't you afraid of being scolded by your father-in-law?" Zhou Shumei was referring to Lin Zhaodong, the father of Lin Beishan and Lin Xinxuan.

Zhang Qinglan explained, "Your father-in-law dotes on Xinxuan the most. He might disagree at first, but he'll eventually agree."

Zhou Shumei said awkwardly, "Oh, I see."

Just as the two were chatting, Lin Xinxuan returned.

When Lin Xinxuan saw Zhou Shumei, she asked, "Sister-in-law, you can go to that golf course sometime. I just finished playing there, it was pretty good."

Zhang Qinglan was puzzled: "How come you still have time to go to the golf course?"

"I work every day, can't I relax a little?" Lin Xinxuan muttered.

"Okay, okay, I didn't say no." Zhang Qinglan looked at Zhou Shumei, curiously asking, "Shumei, why do you want to play golf too?"

"I was bored and wanted to give it a try," Zhou Shumei said awkwardly.

“Golf is great. I’ve heard that you can make a lot of high-society friends through golf,” Zhang Qinglan said confidently.

Because Lin Xinxuan wanted to eat fruit, Zhang Qinglan went to the kitchen to get a fruit platter.

Taking the opportunity, Zhou Shumei asked Lin Xinxuan, "Xinxuan, were you playing golf alone just now?"

Lin Xinxuan shook her head: "No, it was with a friend."

"Oh, okay." Zhou Shumei asked tentatively, "Was it that guy from before?"

“Hmm.” Lin Xinxuan immediately became annoyed: “It’s that ex-husband of the woman your son cheated on with.”

Zhou Shumei said embarrassedly, "But didn't we already tell you before that he might be deliberately getting close to you?"

“I don’t know if he approached me intentionally or not, but he is indeed good to me,” Lin Xinxuan explained. “That’s enough. Of all the blind dates my mother introduced me to, which one wasn’t after my status, looks, and figure?”

At this moment, Zhang Qinglan came out with the millstone. After hearing what Lin Xinxuan said, she was obviously displeased and said, "How can you talk like that? All the men I introduced to you were of high quality, but you just didn't like them. You had to settle for a divorced man."

“So what if he’s divorced? And it’s not his fault. It’s…” Lin Xinxuan glanced at Zhou Shumei: “It was Lin Chen who seduced someone else’s wife, causing their marriage to break down. That’s the root of the problem.”

Zhang Qinglan shook her head: "You're wrong. If that man is charming enough, how could his wife be seduced? To put it bluntly, he's no good!"

She sat down, handed Lin Xinxuan a grape, and then added, "Look at Pan Jinlian from ancient times. Wasn't she able to get away with this because Wu Dalang was short, unattractive, and impotent?"

Lin Xinxuan immediately retorted: "What kind of twisted logic is this? It's clearly the person who cheated who's at fault, so why are you pointing the finger at the person who was betrayed? That's not fair."

Zhou Shumei also agreed with Lin Xinxuan, and nodded: "Actually, Xinxuan is right. Although Lin Chen is my son, I do feel guilty about what he did."

Then she looked at Lin Xinxuan and asked, "Has he confirmed your relationship with him yet?"

Lin Xinxuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Not yet."

Zhang Qinglan snorted coldly: "See? He's a scumbag. He just wants to play with you. I advise you not to get involved."

"It's all because of you guys." Lin Xinxuan got angry: "It was because of you guys that his ex-wife took the initiative to contact him back then, and then I told him about it, and now he's traumatized."

She became more and more agitated as she spoke, and even looked at Zhang Qinglan and said, "In short, my love life is none of your business. If you don't want me to be single for the rest of my life, you'd better not interfere. Otherwise, I will never get married."

After saying that, she went upstairs alone.

Seeing Lin Xinxuan's behavior, Zhang Qinglan grew increasingly angry. She complained to Zhou Shumei, "This daughter is getting more and more outrageous. How can she talk to her mother like that?"

Zhou Shumei also comforted her, saying, "Children grow up and have their own ideas, which is normal. Besides, I think Xinxuan is serious this time. If you don't mind, that man might actually be quite nice. By the way, have you met him?"

Zhang Qinglan nodded: "Yes, I've met him. Xuanxuan brought him to see me that day. He's actually quite handsome."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shumei immediately became nervous: "What does he/she look like?"

"He's about 1.8 meters tall, quite handsome, and you can tell he works out. He's also very well-mannered and has a good manner."

After hearing what Zhang Qinglan said, Zhou Shumei became even more uneasy.

Isn't this exactly the same as Gao Jun I know?

Is it really him?

Zhou Shumei went home.

She became increasingly anxious.

I should ask Gao Jun directly, but I feel that's not quite right.

Just then, Xiao Huiyu came looking for Zhou Shumei.

When she saw that Zhou Shumei seemed preoccupied, she asked curiously, "Shumei, what's wrong?"

Zhou Shumei shook her head at first, but she had too many worries on her mind, and if she didn't say them out, she might suffocate.

So she finally said to Xiao Huiyu, "Huiyu, I have a question for you."

"it is good."

"If... if Haoran were the ex-husband of the woman my son was having an affair with, do you think that's outrageous?" Zhou Shumei asked.

Xiao Huiyu was not surprised when she heard the question.

Because she had already heard this news from Liang Yaqi.

However, she pretended to ponder for a while before answering, "I think it's unlikely. Is it really that much of a coincidence?" "I don't know," Zhou Shumei explained. "Anyway, this matter is very complicated. You used to call him President Gao, and he told me it's because his nickname is Xiao Gao. My son's mistress's ex-husband's surname is Gao. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

"You mean the name Chen Haoran is a lie?" Xiao Huiyu asked.

Zhou Shumei shook her head: "I'm not sure either. How about this, when you have time, could you help me look around the company and see what his real name is? If he's going to sign some documents, he'll probably have to use his real name."

"Okay," Xiao Huiyu agreed.

She then went home.

Back home, Xiao Huiyu was deeply troubled, her mind in turmoil.

She didn't know what Gao Jun was up to.
If it's just revenge, will Zhou Shumei completely break down after learning the truth about their relationship?

Xiao Huiyu felt that Zhou Shumei had always treated her like a sister, and she couldn't just sit idly by and wait for her fate.

After much deliberation, Xiao Huiyu finally dialed Gao Jun's number.

At that moment, Gao Jun was working out at the Aida Gym.

He connected the Bluetooth headset and asked, "What's wrong with Huiyu?"

"Mr. Gao, are you busy right now?"

"I'm fine. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Xiao Huiyu hesitated for a moment before finally answering, "It's just that... Sister Shumei suddenly asked me tonight if Chen Haoran was your real name, and then I also unintentionally learned about his son and your ex-wife."

Xiao Huiyu stopped there.

Because she believed that with Gao Jun's intelligence, he would surely be able to come up with something.

As expected, Gao Jun asked, "So what do you plan to do?"

"I've always treated Sister Shumei like my own sister. I don't know whether I should tell her or not. Could you give me a hint, Mr. Gao?" Xiao Huiyu threw this question to Gao Jun, letting him make the final decision.

Gao Jun got off the treadmill and then said, "How about this, have you eaten?"

"I just got back from the company and haven't eaten yet, so I'm going to make something to eat," Xiao Huiyu explained.

"Are you living at your own home now? Where is your husband?" Gao Jun asked.

Xiao Huiyu replied, "He agreed to the divorce yesterday and moved all his things out. Now I'm officially single."

There was something ulterior motive behind her saying that.

After all, last time, due to a misunderstanding, Xiao Huiyu and Gao Jun ended up kissing.

However, she was not officially divorced at the time.

Things are different now; Xiao Huiyu is now single.

Gao Jun nodded after hearing this, "Okay, let's go out and get something to eat."

"Okay, we'll follow Mr. Gao's arrangements."

Soon the two arrived at an upscale restaurant.

As Gao Jun watched Xiao Huiyu approach, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have changed your clothes after coming home."

Xiao Huiyu was somewhat surprised: "President Gao, you actually knew that my outfit is different from the one I wore at the company today?"

"I'm not blind," Gao Jun said with a laugh.

Xiao Huiyu quickly explained, "No, no, that's not what I meant. I meant I didn't expect Mr. Gao to be paying attention to me."

"Of course, you're our company's operations director, and a beautiful woman at that. How could I not take a second look?" Gao Jun said with a smile.

Then he took out a menu and handed it to Xiao Huiyu, saying, "Take a look and see what you want to eat. You can order whatever you want."

Xiao Huiyu didn't make a fuss and simply ordered a steak.

Gao Jun also ordered a plate of spaghetti.

While waiting, Gao Jun looked at Xiao Huiyu and asked, "Do you think I'm taking revenge on Shumei?"

Xiao Huiyu fell silent.

She dared not say yes.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Gao Jun added, "Actually, at first I really didn't know she was Lin Chen's mother, nor did I know that my ex-wife's affair was with her son."

"Who would have thought that such a beautiful and alluring woman would have a son with such vulgar behavior?"

"I only found out by chance later. I did think about revenge at the time, but then I felt that if I did that, I would be no different from his son."

"So I didn't tell Shumei about this. I didn't want our friendship to end like this. But later, as Shumei became dissatisfied with her husband, this friendship gradually turned into a different kind of feeling."

"I'm sure you understand," Gao Jun said, looking at Xiao Huiyu and deliberately reminding her, "Just like that night at the hotel, when you kissed me so passionately, even though you knew I wasn't your husband, you still did it. It proves that you've been suppressing your feelings for too long in your previous life, and you only needed to release them when you met me."

Xiao Huiyu's face turned even redder as she listened to these words.

She stammered, "I...I don't know why I did that that night, I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize to me, it's normal. Besides, I'm definitely not at a disadvantage," Gao Jun said with a smile. "I couldn't be happier to have such a beautiful woman by my side."

Xiao Huiyu felt embarrassed by his praise.

She then replied, "Then I'll help you keep it a secret from Sister Shumei."

“You can keep it a secret, or you don’t have to.” Gao Jun replied calmly, “Actually, don’t worry, I won’t harm her. Even if I want revenge, I’ll only take it out on her son.”

"it is good."

After receiving Gao Jun's assurance, Xiao Huiyu finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Soon, the sirloin steak and pasta were served.

The two chatted about different topics during their meal.

Xiao Huiyu gradually relaxed from her initial tension.

They might even laugh happily.

She suddenly realized that it had been many years since she had been able to have such a pleasant meal with a man.

Over the years, Wang Daguang's manipulation of her made Xiao Huiyu feel like her life was over.

After dinner, Gao Jun drove Xiao Huiyu home.

When the car stopped in front of Xiao Huiyu's house, Gao Jun smiled and said, "Alright, take your luggage and remember to give us a five-star review."

Xiao Huiyu laughed when she heard this teasing remark.

Finally, she hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gao Jun and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Gao, may I invite you in for tea?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Jun did not refuse: "Okay."

And so, Xiao Huiyu led Gao Jun into the house.
