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

"The steaks in this restaurant are particularly good, you can try it." The two were eating in a steak restaurant, and Gu Chen carefully helped Jiang Ru cut the steak.

"Well, you have good taste. It tastes delicious. I like it very much."

Jiang Ru nodded, took a bite, and found that it tasted indeed good, so she ate some more.

"I'm glad you like it. I'll bring you here more often next time."

I feel relieved to see that Jiang Ru likes Gu Chen. As long as Jiang Ru likes him, that's enough.

"Are you sure you don't want to consider what Mr. Jiang said?" Just as the two were having dinner, Gu Chen suddenly brought up what he had just said.

The knife and fork in her hand suddenly moved. Jiang Ru stopped the cutlery in her hand and pretended to be dumbfounded:

"Ah, why don't I know what's going on?"

"Your dad just asked you to marry me!"

Gu Chen couldn't wait to speak, not giving Jiang Ru the chance to play dumb.

"That's my dad's opinion. I haven't thought it through yet."

Jiang Ru still refused, her tone was very hesitant, and she hadn't thought it through at all.

"Even your father has asked you to marry me, but you still refuse to agree?" Gu Chen's anxious voice came to his ears.

He was very worried that if the two of them were not allowed to be together, something unexpected would happen.

"I don't know..." Jiang Ru shook her head, indicating that she still hadn't thought it through and was very confused.

"When are you going to marry me? I just want to give you a name. Are you going to wait until the baby in your belly is born before you get married?"

Gu Chen tried to persuade her. He just wanted to marry Jiang Ru now and he couldn't wait any longer. Gu Chen joked with Jiang Ru about when she would get married, otherwise she would be pregnant. He wanted Jiang Ru to give him a legitimate status.

Jiang Ru changed the subject, her face clearly showing some guilt: "I don't think there's any rush now, let's just wait a while."

"How long are you going to wait?" Gu Chen felt very sad. He just wanted Jiang Ru to agree to him.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Ru apologized to Gu Chen, her voice becoming heavier: "I still want to wait until the truth is clarified."

Only when the truth comes out can we see the moon after the clouds have cleared.

"What were the results of your investigation?"

Jiang Ru suddenly asked, Gu Chen was investigating the disputes and grudges of the previous generation, and he just wanted to know the results as soon as possible.

"I have found some evidence. I investigated and found that this matter is indeed related to my father." Gu Chen said that his father provided some evidence and his father was indeed involved.

"Really?" Jiang Ru was excited and now became extremely nervous.

"These are all irrelevant. Your father's imprisonment may have nothing to do with my father."

Gu Chen informed Jiang Ru of the results of the investigation. Although he may have provided help, it was not much help. Even without his father's help, Jiang's father would still go to jail.

"That's your father. You must want to help your father get rid of the crime, right?" Jiang Ru was very angry and asked in return whether he wanted to exonerate the other party.

"That's not the case..." Gu Chen denied. He just wanted to inform Jiang Ru of the results of the investigation. He had no intention of exonerating his father.

He said solemnly, "I haven't investigated it yet. If the investigation is really related to my father, I will never forgive him."

Whenever this topic was brought up, Jiang Ru would act very indifferent. Just when the relationship between the two of them was at a standstill, Zhao Yan appeared: "What a coincidence, are you guys having dinner here too?"

She was very happy when she saw Jiang Ru. She greeted Jiang Ru and walked over with a smile on her face.

But the moment he saw Gu Chen, his expression changed, but he still had a smile on his face.

"It is fate that we can meet you here."

He took the initiative to talk to Gu Chen, but Gu Chen ignored him.

Jiang Ru broke the awkward atmosphere and responded with a smile: "Yeah, that's quite a coincidence. Are you coming here to eat too?"

"Yeah, I haven't eaten yet either, let's share the table!"

Zhao Yan was very happy with Jiang Ru's response and invited Jiang Ru to have dinner together.

"Okay, we just happen to have space for four people here, so please sit down and order together."

Jiang Ru agreed without thinking, thinking it was no big deal, so she just agreed.

"I disagree! There are so many places there, why are you competing with us? Don't you think you're an eyesore?"

Gu Chen was the first to stand up and oppose it. He knew very well that the other party's purpose of getting close to Jiang Ru was definitely not that simple, so he must not give outsiders the opportunity to get along with Jiang Ru.

"I don't mean to be a third wheel. I just want to catch up with Jiang Ru. We're just friends, wouldn't it be awkward if we didn't sit together?"

He asked Zhao Yan to leave, but Zhao Yan refused. Instead, he stayed and refused to leave no matter what, insisting on having dinner with Jiang Ru.

Gu Chen's face was dark as he vehemently ordered them to leave. His tone was very unfriendly, "That's no excuse for you to be a light bulb. You are not welcome here!"

"It's not your turn to speak here, right? Why, don't you allow Jiang Ru to make friends?"

His attitude seemed to be very unfriendly towards Zhao Yan. The war between the two was ignited at any time, and they started fighting each other as soon as they met.

"Anyone can be Jiang Ru's friend, except you. I'm warning you, stay away from Jiang Ru. You are not welcome here!"

Gu Chen strongly demanded that the other party leave and would not allow the other party to continue to approach Jiang Ru no matter what.

"Enough, stop talking, Gu Chen, that's my friend, how can you treat him like this? Don't go too far, it's not your turn to make the decision on my affairs!"

Gu Chen's words were too harsh to hear, and he became very irrational in front of Zhao Yan, which made Jiang Ru feel very strange. Gu Chen's attitude seemed to have some deep hatred for him, which made Jiang Ru very uncomfortable and spoke up to stop the quarrel between the two.

"Zhao Yan, just sit here and eat with us. No one dares to stop you."

Jiang Ru was very angry that Gu Chen treated her friend so rudely, so she asked Zhao Yan to stay.

"Look, Jiang Ru has already agreed, so you have no reason to refuse. Besides, it's just a meal, Mr. Gu, don't be so stingy."

Seeing that Jiang Ru agreed to Zhao Yan, he was particularly proud. His eyes were full of smugness, and he stayed without any shame.

Gu Chen tried hard to control his anger. He still didn't want to vent his anger in front of Jiang Ru. How could this guy be so shameless? He had never seen such a shameless person.

"Waiter, please order me another steak!"

Zhao Yan sat down naturally. He had found an opportunity to contact Jiang Ru, and of course he would not let it go.
