Ye Xingbei stared at him for a while, and a smile slowly bloomed on her lips, as radiant as an evening primrose in full bloom, “You’re right, this is indeed good.”
Anyway, she had already sworn an oath with Gu Junzhu to pretend to be a couple.
Why would she miss such a great opportunity to slap the faces of the Jiang Family, using Gu Junzhu?
“Clever!” Gu Junzhu rustled her hair, got out of the car first, and then turned to offer her a hand, “Come, darling, be careful, I’ll help you out.”
Ye Xingbei’s mouth twitched, and she rolled her eyes, initially intending to ignore him, but on seeing the guards at the gate of the Jiang residence, she changed her mind, placed her hand into Gu Junzhu’s palm and exited the car with his support.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, Gu Junzhu circled her waist, whispering in her ear, “Darling, congratulations on the start of your delightful visit. Today, with your husband to support you, deal with those people however you want. Don’t hold back!”
His voice was extremely pleasant, cold amidst the clashing of broken jade, with a touch of magnetism.
Especially when he intentionally lowered his voice, whispering in her ear, the coolness of his lips brushed against her ear, the smooth, lazy, luxurious voice penetrating her eardrum, sending chills down to her heart and making her knees weak.
She unconsciously pushed him gently, but he tightened his arm, holding her even closer.
Thus, with one teasing and the other reluctantly resisting, they walked together into the Jiang residence.
In the eyes of others, they were a newlywed couple, loving and sweet, their affectionate behaviour not confined by time or place, couldn’t help but be affectionate.
Having received the butler’s report and known that Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei had arrived, Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai had already come out to greet them with their two daughters and two sons.
Originally, as parents-in-law, they were not required to welcome Gu Junzhu, their son-in-law.
However, Gu Junzhu’s status was paramount, something they, the Jiang Family, could not match.
What’s more, they were guilty.
If Gu Junzhu had married Jiang Siyou or Jiang Lingyu, they would not have been so cautious and wary.
But he had married Ye Xingbei, causing them to be extremely vigilant in dealing with her.
They knew very well that Ye Xingbei was not their biological daughter.
Not only was Ye Xingbei not their biological daughter, but they had also previously framed her with unfounded charges and banished her from the Jiang Family.
If the Gu Family didn’t need a widow for their family, they would not have planned to involve Ye Xingbei, letting her return from abroad!
Upon hearing from the butler that Gu Junzhu had accompanied Ye Xingbei on her home visit, they were very surprised.
It was said that Gu Junzhu was at death’s door, with only a few days to live.
Although there was a tradition in Jiang City that a newlywed bride should not return home for three days, they thought that the Gu Family would simply send someone else with Ye Xingbei.
They never expected that the reportedly dying Gu Junzhu would personally accompany Ye Xingbei home.
Moreover, according to the butler, Gu Junzhu had walked here and was not in a wheelchair, and he seemed to look alright!
Wasn’t it said that Gu Junzhu was dying?
Jiang Zhengxing’s family, each with their own thoughts, uncertain and apprehensive, came out together to greet them.
Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu were stunned as they watched the tall, handsome, elegant, and luxurious Gu Junzhu, with his arm around Ye Xingbei, slowly walking towards them. Their hearts pounded wildly, unable to believe what they saw.
Wasn’t Gu Junzhu supposed to be bedridden, only appearing occasionally in a wheelchair, barely alive with just a few days to live?
Though his face was indeed slightly pale, it only added to his noble aura akin to a medieval aristocrat.
From afar, he was as noble as an emperor, as handsome as a god, his radiance lit up everything around him. Everything else, except for Ye Xingbei by his side, was reduced to a backdrop, dimmed by their stunning beauty!
Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu watched the noble and handsome man, who was like an emperor and a god, with his arm around Ye Xingbei’s waist, slowly walking towards them. The color drained from their faces.
So…. Gu Junzhu’s imminent death was not real, it was just a rumor, wasn’t it?
