After rebirth, the paranoid boss dotes on her

Gu Jingzhan walked past Wen Xueru and Wen Yu and went straight to Xiang Wanqiao, his cold and slender hands gently around her waist.

He protected Xiang Wanqiao tightly, not giving Wen Xueru any face, "Excuse me, ma'am, what qualifications do you have to give orders to my lover here?"

Wen Xueru pursed her lips tightly and looked extremely ugly.

Wen Yu wanted to speak for Wen Xueru: "Cousin, no matter what your aunt says, it's you..."

Before she could utter the word "mother", Gu Jingzhan gave her a sharp and gloomy look, which frightened Wen Yu so much that she immediately fell silent and dared not to continue speaking.

Wen Xueru ignored Gu Jingzhan's cold words and still said stubbornly: "Anyway, I don't like her, and I won't admit that she is my daughter-in-law."

"Qiaoqiao doesn't need your love, let alone your recognition." Gu Jingzhan retorted in a deep voice, every word carrying a bone-chilling chill.

Xiang Wanqiao stood beside Gu Jingzhan and could clearly feel the coldness that penetrated deep into his bones, as well as the resentment towards Wen Xueru that spread from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Jingzhan's tone became colder and colder, with a warning tone: "I won't allow anyone to say anything bad about Qiaoqiao. She is the most perfect person in my heart."

The atmosphere between the two was extremely tense, with a strong smell of gunpowder in the silence, ready to explode at any moment.

Seeing this, Xiang Wanqiao gently tugged at the hem of Gu Jingzhan's suit jacket and spoke to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Ah Zhan, I'm a little hungry, come with me to eat something."

When Gu Jingzhan heard Xiang Wanqiao's clear and pleasant voice, the cold aura surrounding him instantly dissipated a little.

He turned his eyes to look at her and softened his voice: "Let's go home and eat."

After saying this, Gu Jingzhan said no more and just hugged Xiang Wanqiao and walked away.

Downstairs, lobby.

Gu Jingzhan wanted to leave directly, but Xiang Wanqiao felt that it was inappropriate, so she pulled him to say hello to Old Madam Gu.

When Mrs. Gu heard that they were leaving, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly said, "Today is grandma's birthday banquet, please stay and have dinner before leaving."

Gu Jingzhan said coldly, "They all dislike Qiaoqiao. If she stays, she will only be wronged."

"They just met Xiao Qiao for the first time and they don't know her well, so they misunderstand her."

Madam Gu said frankly, "Before I met Xiao Qiao, I had some prejudice against her. But after meeting her today, I am quite happy."

Gu Jingzhan's handsome face remained cold the entire time, and the old lady's words obviously did not move him.

Today, Old Madam Gu felt more intuitively how much Gu Jingzhan cared about Xiang Wanqiao, and she also knew that the root of this matter was Xiang Wanqiao.

If you want Gu Jingzhan to stay, you must work hard on Xiang Wanqiao.

Then, Madam Gu held Xiang Wanqiao's hand tightly, and said with a hint of pleading in her tone: "Xiao Qiao, can you stay and spend the rest of your birthday with grandma? I have something to give you later!"

Xiang Wanqiao was in a dilemma.

She tilted her head slightly and her eyes fell on Gu Jingzhan's face.

Gu Jingzhan also looked at her and handed the decision to her.

Finally, under the expectant gaze of Mrs. Gu, Xiang Wanqiao nodded and agreed.

Old Madam Gu immediately laughed happily, looked at her with eyes full of love and satisfaction, and patted her on the back of her hand gently.

"What a sensible and good child. You and Xiao Zhan will sit next to grandma in a while."

Xiang Wanqiao responded obediently: "Okay."

I originally thought that Madam Gu would be the most difficult character to deal with. Given her stubbornness and majesty, it was impossible for her to accept her as her granddaughter-in-law so easily.

But what she didn't expect was that the old lady would put aside her prejudice and accept her for Gu Jingzhan.

Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, it at least gave her a temporary relief.

However, regarding Gu Jingzhan's mother...

Xiang Wanqiao silently turned her head to look at Gu Jingzhan. At this moment, her heart was full of curiosity, and there was a hint of subtle inquiry in her eyes.

The birthday banquet is about to begin.

Xiang Wanqiao and Gu Jingzhan followed the arrangements and sat side by side in the two seats to the right of Old Madam Gu.

After sitting down, she glanced at Gu Jingzhan secretly, then reached out under the table and gently held his hand, giving him silent encouragement and comfort.

Gu Jingzhan felt her little movement, and for a moment he held her hand, looking at her tenderly.

Xiang Wanqiao smiled at him, bright and warm.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament sat down on the left hand side of Madam Gu, with the same serious and cold expression.

Xiang Wanqiao looked at him calmly, and when she saw his face, which was somewhat similar to Gu Jingzhan but full of traces of time, she couldn't help but have some guesses in her mind.

This person should be Gu Jingzhan’s father, Gu Wenhua.

And when she caught a glimpse of Gu Jingzhan's expression when he faced Gu Wenhua, her guess was further confirmed.

Gu Jingzhan's attitude towards Gu Wenhua was exactly the same as his attitude towards Wen Xueru, cold and distant.

It seems that the rumors from outside are not groundless. The relationship between them is really tense and has reached freezing point.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Xueru also slowly walked towards the main table, and at this time she was followed by a very unfamiliar girl.

The girl has a beautiful face and looks delicate, the kind of girl who can easily arouse a man's desire to protect her.

The two were very close and clearly had a close relationship.

Wen Xueru came to Gu Jingzhan, ignoring the people at the main table, and said to him very bluntly: "This is my goddaughter, her name is Yun Mengxi. She is a good match for you, you can get to know her more."

These words were so blunt and abrupt that they left people dumbfounded.

Xiang Wanqiao sneered in her heart.

She was still sitting here, and Wen Xueru introduced another woman to Gu Jingzhan so blatantly, obviously trying to embarrass her in front of everyone.

Such a breathtaking operation makes people wonder if this is really Gu Jingzhan’s biological mother?

Hearing this, Madam Gu's face darkened instantly, and she angrily shouted in a low voice: "Xue Ru, what are you doing!"

Wen Xueru didn't care at all about Madam Gu's rebuke.

She said in front of everyone without hesitation: "I was not satisfied with the woman Jing Zhan married, so I found him a new one. Is there a problem with that?"

Madam Gu's expression became increasingly ugly, and she felt choked up.

Gu Jingzhan's eyes flashed with an icy cold light, his hands were clenched into fists, and his whole body exuded a gloomy and murderous aura.

Xiang Wanqiao sensed his anger, and seeing that he was about to explode, she immediately patted the back of his hand where veins were bulging, and gave him a look, signaling him to calm down first.

The atmosphere of the whole scene became extremely tense. Everyone fell silent and sat quietly in their seats, eating melons.
