After rebirth, the paranoid boss dotes on her

Xiang Wanqiao was still a little surprised when she heard Lu Qingzhou call her "sister-in-law".

"It's rare to hear humility in Dean Lu's proud mouth," she teased.

Hearing this, Lu Qingzhou coughed awkwardly, then turned his head and looked into the distance.

Qi Xiaoyi took over the conversation and said to Xiang Wanqiao sincerely: "Sister-in-law, we have offended you before. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against us."

Xiang Wanqiao twitched the corners of her lips and replied leisurely: "You also care about Ah Zhan, I won't blame you. If it were me, I would do the same."

"Thank you for your understanding, sister-in-law."

Xiang Wanqiao turned to look at Gu Jingzhan and reported to him: "You guys chat first, I'm going to the bathroom."

Gu Jingzhan was worried that she wouldn't be able to find the bathroom, so he suggested, "I'll go with you."

"No, I can find it myself."

Xiang Wanqiao saw that Qi Xiaoyi and Lu Qingzhou wanted to say something to Gu Jingzhan, so she politely declined his proposal.

Gu Jingzhan didn't insist, but just whispered, "Be careful."

"Ah."

Xiang Wanqiao turned and left the back balcony.

After Xiang Wanqiao walked away, Qi Xiaoyi finally couldn't help but speak.

"Do you have to be so precious? Sister-in-law is just going to the bathroom, not to venture into a dangerous place. Why should you be worried?"

Without Xiang Wanqiao around, Lu Qingzhou was obviously much more relaxed.

He sank into the sofa chair on the balcony and explained: "Sister-in-law just had an unpleasant argument with Wen Yu downstairs. Brother Zhan must be afraid that Wen Yu will take the opportunity to retaliate against her."

Qi Xiaoyi waved his hand disapprovingly, indicating that he was not worried at all: "Don't worry, with my sister-in-law's attitude, the only one who will suffer is Wen Yu."

Gu Jingzhan remained silent, just sitting there quietly listening to their conversation.

Qi Xiaoyi continued to complain: "With Wen Yu's personality, she is too spoiled and overbearing. She needs to be disciplined."

Lu Qingzhou nodded in agreement, and then gave Qi Xiaoyi a meaningful look.

After receiving this look, Qi Xiaoyi glanced at Gu Jingzhan secretly, nervously considering how to speak.

"that……"

When Qi Xiaoyi opened his mouth, he was still a little scared.

Gu Jingzhan raised his eyes and looked straight at him, waiting for what he would say next.

Qi Xiaoyi swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm before continuing: "Brother Zhan, Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu are back to celebrate the old lady's birthday. This matter..."

"I know." Gu Jingzhan replied with three words coldly, without a trace of emotion.

Qi Xiaoyi pursed his lips, turned his gaze to Lu Qingzhou who was sitting on the sofa, and winked at him.

Lu Qingzhou clenched his fist, put it to the tip of his nose, coughed lightly, and spoke carefully: "Then have you... met them?"

Gu Jingzhan sneered and said in a self-deprecating tone: "I am a child that jumped out of a crack in a stone. I have no parents."

Hearing this, Lu Qingzhou and Qi Xiaoyi were both speechless, and no one dared to mention the matter again.

They had heard something about what happened between Gu Jingzhan's parents from their parents.

As for the relationship between Gu Jingzhan and his parents, the outside world only knows that they are not close, but no one knows the real reason, and they are no exception.

Gu Jingzhan was lost once when he was eight years old. After he was found, his whole personality changed. He became withdrawn, cold, and untalkative, and he closed himself off in a world where no one could reach him.

The whole person was cold, no longer as warm as usual, but like an emotionless machine.

He gradually became alienated from these friends with whom he had played since childhood, and suspicion and distrust became his normal state.

It took them a long time to slowly regain Gu Jingzhan's trust by showing their kindness and sincerity every time they interacted with him.

Although they didn't know what Gu Jingzhan had experienced when he was eight years old, the only thing they could do was to stay by his side silently and support him with all their strength.

There is no need for much words between men.

When Xiang Wanqiao came out of the bathroom, she ran into Wen Yu head-on.

She walked straight towards him, holding the arm of a woman who was simply dressed and had a cool temperament. Her face was well-maintained and she had a cool beauty.

Xiang Wanqiao wanted to avoid him, but Wen Yu had no intention of letting her go.

Wen Yu blocked her way and complained to the woman next to her.

"Aunt, she is the woman my cousin insisted on marrying despite my grandmother's objection. She just scolded me in front of so many guests downstairs. She has no manners or manners at all."

The moment Xiang Wanqiao heard Wen Yu call the woman in front of her "Auntie", she instantly understood.

This is Gu Jingzhan’s mother.

Wen Xueru looked at Xiang Wanqiao carefully, frowned slightly, and looked a little dissatisfied, "Are you Xiang Wanqiao?"

Xiang Wanqiao nodded and said, "Yes."

"You and Jing Zhan are not suitable for each other, get a divorce as soon as possible."

Wen Xueru didn't say anything extra and just gave her orders coldly.

After Wen Yu found someone to support him, he immediately became more confident and his voice became a little higher.

"Xiang Wanqiao, did you hear that? My aunt told you to divorce my cousin as soon as possible."

Faced with their coercion, Xiang Wanqiao's psychological activity at this moment was - she just wanted to laugh.

"Whether or not A-Zhan and I are suitable for each other is not for outsiders to judge." She said in a very firm tone, "I said that I will never divorce him in my life."

Wen Yu complained in dissatisfaction: "Xiang Wanqiao, how dare you talk to your mother-in-law like that! Do you have any manners at all?"

"Of course I have tutoring, but it depends on who I'm in front of. If I'm facing those low-quality people, why should I save face for them?"

Xiang Wanqiao responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You——" Wen Yu was once again so angry that his face turned red and he was speechless.

Xiang Wanqiao turned to look at Wen Xueru and smiled slightly: "Aunt Gu, don't take it to heart. I always speak my mind."

Asking Gu Jingzhan's mother to call her "Mom" directly, she really couldn't bring herself to do so.

And she knew that Wen Xueru would not accept such a title.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Xiang Wanqiao decided to call Gu Jingzhan's mother "Aunt Gu", which would be safer.

However, Wen Xueru looked at Wan Qiao even more displeased, with disgust written all over her face.

"It's really vulgar." She said sarcastically, "I don't know what kind of vision Jing Zhan has to fall in love with a woman like you. It's really unfortunate for our family."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

"Is it a blessing for my family to fancy a woman like you?"
