Their eyes reddened with jealousy, they wished they could go back in time and wake up their foolish past selves with a fierce smack. fre ewebn ovel

They were too stupid!

Too stupid!

They tossed such an outstanding man into Ye Xingbei’s lap out of sheer jealousy and out of some well-crafted plot.

Their hearts bled with jealousy, and their faces twisted with regret and pain.

Jiang Zhengxing also wore a grim look.

Gu Junzhu is the Senior Master Gu’s late-born son, his generation being higher.

If Gu Junzhu hadn’t married Ye Xingbei, according to the hierarchical order of the two families, Gu Junzhu would have been Addressing him as “Third Brother Jiang”.

But now that Gu Junzhu has married Ye Xingbei and become his son-in-law, he should be calling him “Dad”.

However, Gu Junzhu neither switched to calling him “Dad” nor addressed him as “Third Brother Jiang”, but instead distantly referred to him as “President Jiang”.

He had thought it would be an honorable thing to be Gu Junzhu’s father-in-law.

Everyone who learns he is Gu Junzhu’s father-in-law would envy and admire him, fawn over him, and pay him respect.

In the future, his career would prosper and nobody would dare sabotage his plans!

He had been looking forward to hearing Gu Junzhu call him “Dad”.

But instead, Gu Junzhu called him “President Jiang”.

He was instantly upset deep inside but did not dare confront Gu Junzhu, and he had no choice but to suppress his annoyance and greet Ye Xingbei with fake jollity, “Beibei, you’re finally back. I’ve missed you so much over the years!”

As he spoke, he stepped closer to Ye Xingbei, patted her shoulder, and eyed her. His eyes turned red and even a little watery. “You child, when we scolded you a few times for fear that you might take the wrong path, we didn’t realize you are much more sensitive to criticism. You ran away!”

“After you left, your mom cried for days straight, unable to eat or sleep. She quickly lost a lot of weight, and we sent people everywhere to find you. But you disappeared without a trace, worrying your parents sick!”

“Yes!” Xu Yanlai chimed in, rushing forward in her excitement. She took Ye Xingbei by the hand, pulled her into a hug, her voice choking up as she said, “Beibei, Mom missed you to death! You silly child, what parents in the world don’t care for their kids? Your parents were just too worried for you then, said something harshly, didn’t realize you are so sensitive and you just ran away secretly.”

As Xu Yanlai patted Ye Xingbei’s back, she shed actual tears, “Why did you leave home for so many years without returning, wanting your Mom to die of sadness? Your Mom looked for you everywhere, dreaming about you every night. How could you be so heartless, only returning now to see us?”

Ye Xingbei was momentarily stunned by the couple’s dramatic tears.

If Gu Junzhu hadn’t clarified her origins in the car, she might have been deceived by the couple’s extraordinary acting skills.

She might have even started doubting if there was some misunderstanding in the past.

She might have mistakenly believed that Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai did love her and they must have been misled or deceived by others which led to her being kicked out of the Jiang family.

But now, no matter how good their acting might be, they couldn’t fool Ye Xingbei.

She isn’t their daughter!

They don’t love her at all!

Their tearful embrace and confession of love were only due to the fact that she is now Gu Junzhu’s wife.

Gu Junzhu is not on the brink of death and is kind to her.

The couple dare not continue to offend her.

To mend their relationship and have her recognize them as her parents, being Gu Junzhu’s in-laws in the future would provide them with many benefits!

Knowing all these facts, how could Ye Xingbei possibly make their wishes happen?
