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

The divorce was agreed upon, but because Zhou Yiran had to be busy with company matters recently, the divorce certificate had to be delayed for a few days.

Jiang Ru was busy clearing the couple's joint property.

During the time Zhou Yiran was abroad, she was the one who took care of Zhou's business, and she was also in charge of the shops and businesses owned by the other two people.

A cheating man should leave the house empty-handed during a divorce.

After she stayed away for a few days, Zhou's mother called her several times, asking her to come home for dinner.

Jiang Ru knew what she was thinking, but...

Thinking of the pieces of jewelry that Zhou's mother had taken away before, Jiang Ru agreed.

She would not leave anything that she could take away to the Zhou family.

Snap——

"How did you carry it? You could even spill a cup of warm water on the floor!"

The door password had not changed. As soon as Jiang Ru entered the door, she heard movement in the living room.

Zhou Yiran's parents were sitting on the sofa, one reading a newspaper and the other scolding Lu Lin.

These days, Zhou Yiran was in the company, so Lu Lin was left at home to recuperate.

"Auntie, I held it very steady, it was you who didn't catch it..."

Lu Lin pouted, feeling a little aggrieved.

She came here to be Mrs. Zhou, not to be their servant!

Mother Zhou sighed, "She's so spoiled. Not only is she pregnant before marriage, but she can't even hold a cup of water steadily, and she blames the elders. If only Xiaoru were here, everything would be fine."

She glanced at Lu Lin with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

This girl seduced her son and couldn't even serve anyone, yet she still wanted to get into his house.

Thinking of how considerate and obedient Jiang Ru had been to their family, Zhou's mother became more and more displeased with Lu Lin.

"What are you still doing here? Hurry up..."

Mother Zhou paused, "Forget it, you're so clumsy, you might even smash the cup and complain to Yiran."

Her tone was full of sarcasm, and Lu Lin could even hear the hidden meaning in her words——

If it were Jiang Ru, she would definitely be able to do it well.

Lu Lin smiled at Zhou's mother without hesitation.

"Auntie, I didn't hold it firmly just now. I must be the one to clean it up."

Is she still not as good as Jiang Ru? What Jiang Ru can do, she can do too!

Jiang Ru stood at the entrance for a long time, and only went over after Lu Lin entered the kitchen.

When Zhou's mother saw her, her eyes curved and she asked her to sit on the sofa.

"Xiao Ru, I went shopping with some of my friends the other day and saw a really nice necklace, but my credit card limit has expired this month, so..."

Jiang Ru pretended not to understand, pulled her back with her hand, and smiled gently.

"Since the card limit has been reached, let's wait and buy it next month."

After leaving the Zhou family, she was no longer the person who only used her dowry to subsidize them.

"It doesn't matter when I buy jewelry for you, but Xiaoru, I really treat you as my own daughter."

Mother Zhou held Jiang Ru's hand and said, "Yiran was just confused for a moment. If you divorce now, it will have a very bad impact if the news gets out."

These words did not escape Lu Lin. Jiang Ru heard the sound of cutting fruit in the kitchen suddenly become louder.

She took Zhou's mother's hand and chuckled, "What about Miss Lu? Are you planning to kick her out with the child?"

Mother Zhou was stunned and a little dissatisfied. "How can you kick the child out? I can wait until the child is born and give it to you to raise."

Jiang Ru's smile remained unchanged, but a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"I didn't expect you to be so traditional and to want to kill the mother and keep the child."

After all, Zhou's mother had met quite a few people, so she could naturally hear the sarcasm in Jiang Ru's tone.

Being ridiculed by the younger generation, her face darkened.

Zhou's mother was humiliated and stopped talking to Jiang Ru, and Jiang Ru was happy to be free.

When Zhou Yiran came home from get off work and saw Jiang Ru, he was stunned for a moment.

After leaving Zhou's house, Jiang Ru started dressing herself up again. Today she wore a simple cheongsam, her black hair was lightly tied up, and her makeup was exquisite. She exuded an elegant and noble temperament.

In Zhou Yiran's eyes, he suddenly saw the daughter of the Jiang family when they got married, and a flash of surprise passed through his eyes.

At dinner, Zhou Yiran kept picking up food for Lu Lin, while Jiang Ru sat opposite him pretending not to see.

"Yiran, if you encounter any difficulties when you return to the company, just tell your family," Zhou's mother glanced at Jiang Ru coldly. "Although my card limit has been reached, I can still raise some money for you even if I sell my jewelry."

Jiang Ru could tell that she was deliberately pointing at her, but she ignored her.

"It's okay, Mom. Although the company currently needs a lot of funds, everything is going well. You don't have to worry about it."

When Jiang Ru was picking up some food, she happened to look at him and instantly lost her appetite.

Lu Lin was originally eating quietly, occasionally showing affection to Zhou Yiran.

Seeing this, his eyes curved, "Yiran, if the company is short of money or has any other problems, I can help you."

Everyone at the table paused and looked at Lu Lin.

Lu Lin then pursed his lips and smiled, "I have never told Yiran that my family owns a company. If Yiran encounters difficulties with company affairs, I can provide technical and financial assistance."

"Linlin, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zhou Yiran held Lu Lin's hand, his eyes full of love.

Lu Lin looked shy. "My parents don't allow me to tell anyone about family matters. I can only manage the family company after we get married, so I kept it a secret from you before."

Will she be in charge after marriage?

Jiang Ru lowered her eyes and smiled. It was a good idea to use funds to lure the Zhou family to agree to let them get married as soon as possible.

After hearing what she said, Zhou's mother's expression relaxed a lot, and her eyes looked back and forth between Jiang Ru and Lu Lin.

Jiang Ru served them very well, but apart from her previous dowry and the Zhou shop she managed, she had no other source of funds.

If Lu Lin's family had some power, comparable to or even better than the Zhou family, then...

Lu Lin's words instantly changed the situation at the dinner table.

Zhou's mother, who had always disliked her, also started to pick up food for her.

Jiang Ru put down her chopsticks.

"I came here today to talk to Auntie about something," she turned and smiled at Zhou's mother. "Zhou Yiran and I are getting divorced. So, shouldn't you return the jewelry I lent you to alleviate Zhou's urgent needs?"

"After all, we're getting divorced. If you keep my things and don't return them, don't you look down on Miss Lu?"

Jiang Ru smiled gently, but Zhou's mother's face turned red with anger.

"What do you mean?! You want to take away the things left by the Zhou family's daughter-in-law after the divorce?"

"That's not what you said."

Jiang Ru's expression was calm. "When we got married, your Zhou family promised me that I would use my dowry to support the Zhou family. If Zhou Yiran did anything to wrong me, you would return all the dowry I brought."

"Besides, Auntie, don't forget, when you took something from me, you said you were borrowing it."

"Jiang Ru! Why have you become so petty now?"

Zhou Yiran scolded in a low voice, unable to hide his anger.

"Zhou Yiran, you cheated on your wife and got someone pregnant before marriage. How can you be qualified to lecture me here?"

Jiang Ru refused to give in, and the two of them argued at the dinner table.

Mother Zhou took a deep breath for a long time and finally managed to hold it in.

"Xiao Ru, think about it. If others knew that you wanted to take your dowry with you when you divorced, it would be bad for your reputation..."

Jiang Ru smiled, "If this matter gets to others, then Zhou Yiran's extramarital affair might not be concealed anymore."

"What you do will always leave traces."

Everyone heard the threat in her tone.

Mother Zhou opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Jiang Ru softened her voice, "You have receipts and invoices for everything you took from me, but you're missing one thing—"

"The news that President Zhou cheated on his wife and forced her to divorce him with his mistress is going to be trending on the internet."

Knowing that the Zhou family couldn't come up with the money today, Jiang Ru agreed on a deadline and left the Zhou family.

Zhou's mother slammed the table and couldn't stop scolding Jiang Ru.

Lu Lin looked at her for a long time before he softly consoled her, "Aunt, don't be angry. If you want those jewels, give them to her. I'll buy you better ones after you get married."

After hearing what she said, Zhou's mother gradually calmed down.

The more she looked at Lu Lin, the more she liked him.

"...Let's set the wedding date earlier, otherwise my pregnancy will show and it will be awkward at the wedding."

Mother Zhou stared at Lu Lin's belly. After three months, she could already vaguely see the shape of the baby.

Lu Lin nodded shyly, feeling relieved.

She didn't want to delay it either. If she did, maybe people would notice that her belly was bigger than the one she had three months ago.

After getting married, she would find a time to meet Jiang Ru, do something to cause an abortion and then put the blame on her.

In this way, not only will no one know that the child is not Zhou Yiran's, but it will also prevent Jiang Ru from rekindling their old relationship with him.

Kill two birds with one stone.
