Her ex-husband was too cold; after being reborn, she hid her pregnant belly and left her father behi

After those messy reports came out, her mother called her several times, telling her to come back, and her attitude was quite bad.

Jiang Qianhui knew that her mother must want to teach her a lesson, after all, her mother was a very traditional person and this was something she could not accept.

So she wasn't stupid enough to walk right into the line of fire.

However, she didn't expect that she still couldn't escape it, and was even scolded by her mother in front of Zhan Yanxun, which was even more heartbreaking.

Jiang Qianhui said awkwardly, "Mom, it's just a gift. A hand kiss is just a courtesy, and we're not discussing this right now, so there's no need to dwell on it."

Jiang Qianhui did not explain that she gave Gu Xunjing the jadeite in order to do business with the Gu Group.

After all, Zhan Yanxun is now her parents' precious son-in-law.

They all knew that Zhan Yanxun and Gu Xunjing were mortal enemies, so why would they be willing to do business with the Gu family?

She knew she would definitely get a scolding from her mother, which would make her even more embarrassed in front of Zhan Yanxun, so she chose not to explain.

Yang Huirong said coldly, "What do you mean there's no need to dwell on this issue? You must apologize to Yan Xun. As a wife, you shouldn't do things with other men that could cause misunderstandings."

Jiang Qianhui: "..."

Jiang Qianhui only wanted to ask one question: Is her mother alright?

Jiang Qianhui never imagined that her mother would reprimand her like this.

In her previous life, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to Zhan Yanxun and never did anything to anger him or do anything unconventional.

So she didn't know that her mother would scold her like that because of Zhan Yanxun. Jiang Qianhui was very angry, but not at her mother, but at Zhan Yanxun.

Zhan Yanxun, what makes him worthy of the attention and protection her parents give him?

Jiang Qianhui's expression visibly hardened. Yang Huirong had never spoken so harshly to her daughter before, and seeing her daughter's unpleasant expression, she knew she had been too rude. However, she genuinely hoped that her daughter and son-in-law could be well.

As a result, Yang Huirong's expression softened a bit, and her voice became gentler.

"Sui Sui, I've never spoken to you so harshly before. I know you're unhappy. But as your mother, I have to discipline you when you do something wrong. You are my daughter, and I truly want what's best for you."

"Mom, I've been the apple of your eye since I was little. You raised me and loved me, not so that I would be someone's lapdog. I don't need to apologize for someone's feelings when I haven't done anything wrong."

Jiang Qianhui's voice grew colder as she spoke, and Zhan Yanxun could clearly feel the growing disgust and disdain in her eyes as she looked at him.

Yang Huirong also noticed that Jiang Qianhui's gaze towards Zhan Yanxun was strange. She loved Zhan Yanxun so much, but why did her eyes look like they were filled with knives when she looked at him now?

As expected, Xie Qingyi and Yan Lan ultimately affected their relationship, so she probably did that out of spite.

Yang Huirong's expression turned serious again. She said sternly, "Sui Sui, you're all grown up now, not a child anymore. You're married now, and you should prioritize your husband. A married woman shouldn't have inappropriate rumors about other men. Of course, I believe you haven't done anything wrong, but having such rumors is a disgrace to your husband's family. You are my daughter, and of course, I will teach you properly."

Jiang Qianhui lowered her eyelashes, trying her best to control her emotions.

Her mother was a very traditional woman, and she could understand her mother's thoughts, but... but how could she bring it up? In Zhan Yanxun's eyes, all the good things you've done for him mean nothing!

"Sui Sui, you must apologize to Yan Xun today."

Yang Huirong was still pressuring Jiang Qianhui to apologize to Zhan Yanxun when Zhan Yanxun suddenly shielded Jiang Qianhui behind him and said, "Mom, Qianhui is right. She did nothing wrong. Why should she apologize?"

Yang Huirong looked at Zhan Yanxun, feeling very guilty towards him.

Zhan Yanxun is such an outstanding person, yet his daughter couldn't bear him a child.

"Yan Xun, it's rare that you're still defending her."

“Mom, you and Dad don’t need to care about those messy reports. The Zhan Group’s legal department has already sent them a lawyer’s letter. I will make them pay the price. They are the ones who should apologize, not Sui Sui.”

At this moment, Zhan Yanxun was protecting Jiang Qianhui, which made Yang Huirong and Jiang Zhengguo very gratified.

After all, their daughter couldn't have children, and their son-in-law still treated her like a treasure, which made them, as parents, very gratified.

"Yanxun, I knew Suisui liked you so much, her efforts will definitely pay off."

Yang Huirong's face was full of gratified smiles. Jiang Zhengguo, who had originally reached out to pat Zhan Yanxun's shoulder, paused, then wiped his trouser leg and said happily, "Yanxun, now that you're protecting Suisui, I feel at ease. I know you won't let her suffer any injustice."

"Mom and Dad, Sui Sui is my wife. Of course I will love her, protect her, and never let her suffer any injustice."

Zhan Yanxun's voice was deep as he looked at Jiang Qianhui, as if he had deep feelings for her.

Yang Huirong and Jiang Zhengguo were both very happy, but Jiang Qianhui wished she could strangle Zhan Yanxun.

She glanced at Zhan Yanxun, her eyes filled with disdain and disgust at his heartfelt confession.

Is he still thinking about maintaining his image? How ridiculous.

If I hadn't witnessed his coldness and ruthlessness in my previous life, I would have been deceived by him again.

Seeing her parents so happy, Jiang Qianhui could only swallow her anger.

She thought she could just put up with it and it would pass, but the more Zhan Yanxun presented himself as the perfect gentleman, the more opportunities her mother seized to teach him a lesson.

Yang Huirong said sternly, "Sui Sui, Yan Xun trusts and protects you so much; this is your blessing. From now on, you must always put him first and be careful with your words and actions, understand?"

Put him first in everything, and be careful with your words and actions?

Jiang Qianhui couldn't hold back any longer. This shameless bastard caused her family to be destroyed in her previous life. Why should she still have to put him first in everything and be careful with her words and actions?

"Mom, like you said, I'm all grown up now, and I know how to act appropriately. But I'm sorry, I can't always put him first. I feel like I'm the most important person. Besides, as the saying goes, even the closest relationships can turn into distant ones, like husband and wife. If we break up, we'll have no relationship left, so why take it so seriously?"

Upon hearing Jiang Qianhui's words, Yang Huirong wished she could cover her mouth.

"Sui Sui, how can you talk like that? Yan Xun is so good to you, and you're talking about breaking up. You're becoming more and more outspoken."
