Marrying a wealthy family for the second time, being spoiled by a paranoid childhood sweetheart

Jiang Ru followed Gu Chen back to the Gu family. Both of them looked unhappy and were not very friendly towards Jiang Ru.

"Can you please not be so cold to me in front of my parents?" Gu Chen pleaded.

He hoped that Jiang Ru could at least pretend to be nice in front of her parents.

If my mother finds out that we are in a cold war, she will definitely become furious and introduce someone to me.

Jiang Ru didn't answer and went straight back to Gu's house with Gu Chen.

"Hello, uncle and aunt, this is a little gift from me."

Before coming here, Jiang Ru also brought gifts with her. No matter what, she couldn't forget her etiquette.

Jiang Ru's attitude was respectful from beginning to end, but it was a pity that Gu Chen's mother still did not give Jiang Ru a good look. When she saw that the person coming was Jiang Ru, her face instantly stiffened.

Mother Gu had a cold face and sarcastically taunted: "Why did you bring this little bitch back?"

"Mom, this is your daughter-in-law. Whether you admit it or not, I brought your daughter-in-law here today to tell you that she is pregnant and can only be a member of our Gu family from now on."

Gu Chen stood in front of Jiang Ru to defend her. He would not allow anyone to slander Jiang Ru, even if that person was his own mother.

Even though Jiang Ru was pregnant, Gu's mother still refused to recognize her as her daughter-in-law and even wanted her to abort the child. If Gu Chen had not arrived in time to stop her, the child would have probably been aborted, which made his parents even more angry.

"Even if she's pregnant, so what? You can still abort the baby. Who knows if it's a bastard? If it's not yours, you won't even know you're being cuckolded!"

In front of Jiang Ru, Gu's mother was still sarcastic and didn't know how to restrain herself. Her words became more and more unpleasant, and even Gu Chen couldn't stand it anymore. Gu Chen directly angrily scolded his mother:

"Is that enough? Today we just want to have this meal in peace. If you continue to humiliate Jiang Ru, blame me for not recognizing you as your mother!" Gu Chen warned angrily and prepared to take Jiang Ru away.

Seeing him about to leave, Mother Gu hurriedly stopped him: "Don't leave yet... You've finally come back, let's have a meal together before leaving."

Gu's mother was afraid that Gu Chen would take Jiang Ru away, so she shut up obediently. Otherwise, she would still scold Jiang Ru. In order to get Gu Chen to stay, she had no choice but to endure it.

The family sat together for dinner, but each had their own thoughts. Gu Chen's father had remained silent. Jiang Ru took the initiative to talk to Gu Chen's father: "Uncle, I heard that you knew my father before, how come I didn't know anything about it? You hid it really well."

There was something hidden in Jiang Ru's words, as if she was trying to get something out of her. Gu Chen's expression changed.

"My dad and your dad both manage companies, and they get along just fine with each other, like colleagues who see each other every day."

Gu Chen tried to smooth things over for his father, and under Gu Chen's persuasion, he pretended to be polite.

"We pretended not to know each other because we didn't want to cause trouble between the two families. Now that the media is watching us, we still have to be careful."

Father Gu also found an excuse to cover it up, and it was obvious that he would not reveal any answers from it.

In order not to lose her spirit, Jiang Ru did not continue asking, but she also did not want to make the trip in vain, and felt that the Gu family must have the evidence she was looking for.

"Excuse me, I drank too much. I need to go to the bathroom."

After a polite chat for a while, Jiang Ru found an excuse to leave everyone's sight.

Jiang Ru used the excuse of going to the bathroom to wander around Gu's house. Since the bathroom was on the second floor, no one knew what Jiang Ru was doing there.

In order to find evidence, she had to sneak into Gu's house. Jiang Ru did not go to the bathroom but sneaked into Gu's father's study, trying to find something.

Jiang Ru searched through all the boxes and drawers but still couldn't find the so-called evidence, and she was very anxious.

After searching, Jiang Ru would put it back to its original place, so it took some time and nothing was found.

Seeing that Jiang Ru had been away for such a long time and had not returned, Gu Chen was a little nervous: "I'm worried that Jiang Ru might have lost her way on her first visit. I'll go look for her."

The Gu family’s villa is very big. Gu Chen took the excuse that Jiang Ru was lost and came to look for her.

He went to the bathroom and found no movement, then went to the study. Just as he guessed, Jiang Ru was in the study, seemingly looking for something.

Just as Jiang Ru was trying to find evidence, Gu Chen broke in and asked Jiang Ru what she was doing: "Why are you in my dad's study? Aren't you going to the bathroom?"

"After coming out of the bathroom, I accidentally got lost. Your house is really too big."

At this time, Jiang Ru still wanted to take something from the study. She was startled by the sudden sound and quickly put down the things in her hands. Jiang Ru just said that she had taken the wrong way and did not give any explanation.

This explanation was obviously not believable, but Gu Chen did not want to expose the secrets between the two people. He was afraid that if he did so, they would not be able to be together.

So without any hesitation, Gu Chen chose to pretend not to know. He clearly knew everything, but he did not expose it.

"Our house is really big. You have to be careful not to take the wrong road. Let's go eat first."

Gu Chen took Jiang Ru out of the study. They searched the study for several minutes but found no evidence. Jiang Ru was obviously a little disappointed. If she had known this, she would not have come here today.

When they put the food on the table again, everyone had their own thoughts, and the dining table looked particularly strange. Jiang Ru found her dinner tasteless.

"Uncle, is your relationship with my father really just a business one?" Jiang Ru asked Gu Chen's father again at the dinner table. She couldn't wait to hear the answer from Gu Chen's father himself, but it was obviously impossible. Gu Chen was worried that Jiang Ru would be exposed if she asked more, so he changed the subject himself: "Mom and Dad, we've finished eating and are going back first."

This time the meal was very unpleasant for both of them.

After returning to the apartment, the two of them were silent all the way.

Gu Chen couldn't accept this cold atmosphere at all.

He could let Jiang Ru vent her anger on him, but he couldn't stand Jiang Ru's cold war against him.

"Jiang Ru."

Gu Chen suddenly said Jiang Ru's name, breaking the silent atmosphere. This made Jiang Ru stunned and she turned around to look at him.

"You can hit me or scold me if you want, but please don't ignore me, okay?"

Gu Chen's voice was hoarse and choked. He just hoped that Jiang Ru could give him a chance.

"I..." Jiang Ru fell silent again.
