After rebirth, the paranoid boss dotes on her

"Of course there is a problem."

Xiang Wanqiao didn't want Gu Jingzhan to argue with Wen Xueru like he just did at the bathroom door, and she didn't want him to be gossiped about and caught up in an unwarranted storm of public opinion.

So, she resolutely stood up to protect him.

Anyway, Wen Xueru doesn't like her and has a bad impression of her, so she doesn't mind being the bad guy.

Xiang Wanqiao stood up and walked in front of Wen Xueru, and confronted her directly: "I am Gu Jingzhan's legal wife. If you want to find another beauty for him, don't you have to ask me first?"

Wen Xueru frowned, her eyes full of disgust, and asked coldly: "Xiang Wanqiao, what qualifications do you have to talk to me like this?"

"Then what qualifications do you have to decide Ah Zhan's life?"

Xiang Wanqiao's eyes were sharp and she was not at all stage frightened.

Seeing this, Yun Mengxi was eager to show in front of everyone the difference in upbringing between herself and Xiang Wanqiao, and pretended to be filial and spoke up to defend Wen Xueru.

"Godmother is Jing Zhan's mother, why is she not qualified?"

Xiang Wanqiao glanced at her with disdain, picked up the full wine glass on the table, and poured it towards Yun Mengxi.

The movements are crisp and clean.

The red wine splashed on Yun Mengxi's face and the carefully selected dress. She was completely stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment.

Wen Xueru was close by, so naturally she was inevitably affected.

She didn't expect Xiang Wanqiao to do such a thing and was obviously a little surprised.

Xiang Wanqiao asked coldly: "Ms. Yun, what qualifications do you have to talk to me like this?"

Yunmengxi: "You——"

"I advise you to go back to where you came from, or I will let you know the consequences of stealing someone else's husband."

Hearing this, Wen Xueru's eyes were filled with some displeasure and anger.

"Xiang Wanqiao, are you threatening Xiaoxi or me?"

"It turns out that Aunt Gu can understand what people say!" Xiang Wanqiao folded her arms across her chest with an arrogant attitude and responded sarcastically, "I thought you were old and your brain wasn't working very well!"

Now, Xiang Wanqiao finally understood why Gu Jingzhan had such a bad relationship with his parents.

The so-called mother in front of him had never really cared about Gu Jingzhan's feelings. She just stubbornly made decisions for him and interfered with his life.

And the so-called father, from the beginning of this farce until now, has never said a word for Gu Jingzhan. He just sat there watching the show indifferently, like a strange bystander.

Xiang Wanqiao felt a pain in her heart, and was so suffocated that she could hardly breathe.

She took a deep breath, her bright eyes filled with determination, and her voice was clear and loud as she announced in front of everyone.

"Gu Jingzhan belongs to me, Xiang Wanqiao. I won't allow anyone to hurt or bully him, even those who claim to be his relatives."

After hearing this, Wen Xueru smiled contemptuously, "Who do you think you are? What can you do to us?"

Xiang Wanqiao smiled lightly, and said in a gentle but domineering tone: "You can try."

Then, she turned her gaze to Yun Mengxi and said with a half-smile, "I am a person who will never let go of any grudge. Once I go crazy, who knows what bad things I might do."

Hearing Xiang Wanqiao's warning, Yun Mengxi's heart tightened and he swallowed involuntarily.

Obviously, Yun Mengxi was shocked by Xiang Wanqiao's aura of majesty without anger.

"Alright!" Madam Gu said, ending the farce. "Xue Ru, Miss Yun's clothes are dirty. Take her down quickly."

The meaning of Mrs. Gu's words was very clear, she had already ordered us to leave.

Wen Xueru turned pale and then left angrily.

Yun Mengxi lowered her head and followed Wen Xueru with embarrassment.

After they left, Madam Gu slowly stood up, put on a friendly face, and apologized to everyone.

"I'm sorry for making you all laugh just now."

Xiang Wanqiao returned victoriously and sat back in her seat gracefully.

When Gu Jingzhan saw how she protected him just now, he felt warm in his heart and was deeply touched.

He reached out, gently held her hand, and then interlocked their fingers.

Xiang Wanqiao turned her head and raised her eyebrows at him playfully, her eyes seemed to say: Don't be afraid, I will protect you.

Gu Jingzhan looked at her, and his icy face finally melted, revealing a faint smile.

After the birthday banquet.

Old Madam Gu took Xiang Wanqiao to her room, closed the door and talked to her alone.

She carefully took out an exquisite small box from a safe placed in a very hidden place, and gently stroked the surface of the box with her palm.

After a while, Old Madam Gu sat next to Xiang Wanqiao and handed the small box in her hand to her.

"This is the Gu family's ancestral jade ring, which represents the status of the Gu family's mistress. Now that I pass it to you, it proves that I have recognized you, and you must keep it well."

"grandmother……"

Xiang Wanqiao was about to say something, but was interrupted by Madam Gu raising her hand.

"Listen to me first."

Hearing this, Xiang Wanqiao nodded obediently and listened quietly to what the old lady was going to say next.

Madam Gu expressed her previous concerns: "I opposed Xiao Zhan marrying you before because I knew that your mind was not on Xiao Zhan at all at that time, and you would not be happy even if you got married."

"Xiao Zhan has a bad relationship with his parents, and you can see it today. Their marriage was a mistake from the beginning, and Xiao Zhan was the only victim of this mistake."

After hearing this, Xiang Wanqiao had a rough guess in her mind.

And what Madam Gu said next also confirmed that her guess was correct.

"Xiao Zhan's parents were forced to get married for business interests. There is no love between them. As for why Xiao Zhan was born, it was because the old man and I drugged them and forced them to be together in order to continue the Gu family's incense."

"And at that time, Xiao Zhan's mother always had someone she liked..."

As she spoke, Madam Gu's voice trembled a little, and her heart was filled with guilt.

She calmed herself down and continued.

"When Xiao Zhan was eight years old, his mother took him out on purpose in order to get rid of this child she didn't expect, and then abandoned him in a strange and remote place. It took a whole week for the people I and the old man sent to find him."

"Since then, Xiao Zhan has completely changed. He has become taciturn, sensitive and suspicious. He is full of distrust of the world and is always on guard against everyone around him."

After listening to what Madam Gu said, Xiang Wanqiao pursed her lips tightly, feeling extremely complicated.

She couldn't imagine how helpless and desperate Gu Jingzhan, who was only eight years old at the time, felt after being abandoned by his mother.

No wonder Gu Jingzhan’s love for her is always so crazy, so morbid, and so paranoid.

It turned out that he had never felt what true love was, so he didn't know how to express and love someone correctly.

So much so that in his previous life, in order to get her, he used such extreme means to imprison her and force her to stay by his side.
