Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 121 Empress Dowager He's Moral World Shattered
As she sat inside the car, Ruan Yusang keenly detected a faint, sweet-smelling perfume scent.

Her smile froze instantly, and she subconsciously frowned, her eyes searching around the car.

Chen Yan had already gotten into the driver's seat, started the engine, shifted gears, and started the car, seemingly unaware of Ruan Yusang's unusual behavior.

Ruan Yusang was conflicted. She didn't want to make unfounded accusations upon first meeting, but the scent of perfume felt like a thorn stuck in her heart.

The car slowly started moving, and she asked casually, "Have you given any other girls a ride in your car recently?"

Chen Yan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "No? Besides you, no other woman has done this on this bus."

"Why does that car smell like a woman's perfume?"

"Oh?"

"Really? You're not talking about this, are you?"

Chen Yan calmly pointed to the aromatherapy diffuser on the center console.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Yusang picked up the aromatherapy diffuser and smelled it, feeling a weight lifted from her heart.

Immediately, a sly smile appeared on the girl's face: "Hehe, I thought you were secretly going on a date with other girls while I was away."

"Hehe...you're really joking."

……

Ten minutes later, the car drove into the small courtyard in front of Chen Yan's house.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Ruan Yusang saw through the windshield a middle-aged couple sitting at the door drinking tea and basking in the sun.

The smile on her face froze instantly, replaced by tension and unease.

Ruan Yusang subconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes, her palms slightly sweaty, and whispered to Chen Yan:

"What should I do, brother? I'm so nervous. I prepared myself mentally before coming, but I'm still panicking."

"Don't be nervous, my parents are very easy to get along with."

Chen Yan gently patted her shoulder, offered a reassuring word, then left the driver's seat, walked to the passenger side, opened the door, and took Ruan Yusang's hand as they got out of the car.

"Dad, Mom, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Ruan Yusang."

When He Juan and Chen Guodong saw this "bizarre" scene, their heads were completely shut down.

No, can someone tell me what's going on?!

Jiang Zhixin had just left not long ago; she was their chosen daughter-in-law. How come their son has brought back another girl in the blink of an eye?

After regaining her senses, He Juan exchanged a glance with her husband, Chen Guodong.

After all, the two had been married for over twenty years. Chen Guodong instantly understood, and then asked uncertainly, "Son, what did you just say? We didn't hear you wrong, did we?"

“I said, this is my girlfriend, she came to our house to wish you a Happy New Year.”

Chen Yan said earnestly.

Seeing Chen Yan nod, Chen Guodong's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Son, you should at least have given me a heads-up! First you started your business without a word, and now you're trying to have your cake and eat it too. Aren't you afraid of getting drowned?"

"Who would be two-timing someone else and even bring their daughters home? Although both girls are exceptionally beautiful, how are we going to handle this situation?!"

"At this rate, you're going to give me a heart attack sooner or later. Damn it, I want to live a few more years!"

"Sigh, my Chen family has always been honest and upright people, how come it's come to you..."

On the other side, He Juan felt her worldview shattered. Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and her mouth was slightly open. She couldn't say a word for a moment.

Seeing that Chen Yan's parents both looked "dazed," Ruan Yusang thought they didn't like her, so she lowered her head and gently tugged at Chen Yan's clothes with her fingers.

Seeing this, Chen Yan stepped in to smooth things over: "Dad, Mom, don't get too excited, Yu Sang is still standing!"

These words instantly brought the middle-aged couple back to reality.

Yes, no matter how bad or wrong he is, it's all that brat's fault, and has nothing to do with the girl.

He Juan and Chen Guodong are the kind of parents who are very clear-headed.

They immediately adjusted their mindset and put on smiles:

"Hey, come in and sit down. This brat didn't even tell us beforehand, so we weren't prepared at all."

"Yes, we were so happy just now that we didn't even realize what was happening. Xiao Ruan, come in and sit down."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Yusang quickly put on a sweet smile and greeted them politely, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

"Oh, Yu Sang, sit down and have some oranges. Auntie will make you a cup of tea."

"No need for that, Auntie."

"Yes, yes, I want it."

He Juan poured Ruan Yusang a cup of tea, her hand still a little unsteady, spilling a few drops of water onto the coffee table.

"Haha, my mom just has a really bad temper. She was so excited when she first met her daughter-in-law that she couldn't even hold her teacup properly."

Chen Yan quickly smiled and smoothed things over.

He Juan glanced at Chen Yan and found him lounging comfortably on the sofa with his legs crossed. Ruan Yusang would even feed him peeled orange segments.

If it weren't for the fear of scaring the girl, she probably would have rushed into the kitchen and grabbed a cleaver long ago.

At this moment, Ruan Yusang took out two exquisite little gift boxes from her bag, "Uncle and Aunt, these are gifts for you."

He Juan and Chen Guodong looked at the exquisite little gift box that Ruan Yusang handed over, their faces smiling, but their hearts were filled with mixed feelings, and a wave of guilt washed over them.

He Juan took the gift box with trembling hands, her voice somewhat unnatural: "Good child, you came all this way, why did you bring a gift?"

She looked up at Ruan Yusang, her eyes filled with tenderness and a complex mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.

"Auntie is really... unworthy of such a title."

Chen Guodong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Xiao Ruan, you're too kind."

"It's alright, this gift isn't expensive, just don't mind it."

Chen Yan was completely unaware of his parents' strange behavior. He casually picked up a piece of orange, stuffed it into his mouth, and mumbled, "Mom and Dad, quickly open it and see what's inside."

"Yes, uncles and aunts, please open it and see if you like it. If you don't like it, I'll make it up next time."

"No, no, Auntie likes anything you give her."

After saying that, He Juan untied the ribbon on the gift box.

Inside a dark green velvet box lay an icy jadeite bangle; the jade, with its excellent translucency, gleamed warmly in the sunlight.

"This...this is too expensive..." He Juan felt increasingly sorry for the girl.

She glanced at her son subconsciously and saw that the rascal was folding orange peels into little boats, and her blood rushed to her head.

Chen Guodong's lighter was an exquisite bronze one, with the letters "zippo" printed on the casing.

"Whoo~"

Chen Guodong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the gift wasn't expensive, and he felt better about keeping it.

After learning that their son had cheated on them, the couple already felt guilty towards the girl. If they were to accept expensive gifts from her, they would have no sleep at all.

However, they all overlooked one thing: Jiang Zhixin actually gave even more gifts, enough to fill a whole trunk.

But at that time, they already regarded Jiang Zhixin as their future daughter-in-law, so they didn't feel any guilt about accepting her.

We'll be family sooner or later anyway.

But now the situation...

"Yu Sang, you watch TV here for a while, I'll go make you some chicken soup."

As He Juan spoke, she grabbed her husband and dragged him towards the kitchen, saying, "Old Chen, come and help me taste the saltiness!"

Amidst the roar of the range hood, Chen Guodong watched his wife chop the kitchen knife into the cutting board: "How about I go to the village entrance and buy two strings of firecrackers? To celebrate your son completing the Chen family's 'three palaces and six courtyards'?"

"You still have the mood to joke around!"

He Juan twirled around, clutching her apron. "Zhixin just left, and this jerk comes back with a gift. What a mess!"

Ruan Yusang's silvery laughter came from the living room, and the two peeked through the crack in the door.

The girl was peeling an orange when Chen Yan suddenly bent down and bit the orange segment on her fingertip, startling her so much that her ears turned red, but she didn't dodge.

He Juan remained silent and continued cutting meat at the cutting board, but with each cut she made, she applied more force, as if she wanted to chop the entire cutting board to pieces.

"Honey, things have come to this, don't be angry anymore. Be careful not to upset yourself. Besides, Xiao Ruan is still at home. After she leaves, ask your son what he really means."

"Well, that's the only way."

He Juan sighed, "How could he have turned out like this? He was such a well-behaved child when he was little..."

As they were talking, He Juan suddenly looked at her husband and asked, "Old Chen, you didn't cheat on me too, did you?"

Chen Guodong: ...

……

Dinner was lavish; it was clear that a lot of money had been spent on it.

Even king crab and Australian lobster have been brought to the table, as if to make up for something.

During the meal, He Guodong kept telling Ruan Yusang to "eat more, don't be a guest, make yourself at home."

He Juan was even more direct, constantly piling food onto her plate, "Yu Sang, try this lobster, and you should drink more of this chicken soup too, it was specially made for you..."

After the family of four finished dinner, He Juan seemed to remember something and said to Ruan Yusang, "Yusang, no one has slept in the guest room upstairs for a long time. Auntie will go and change your sheets and blankets."

"Thank you, Auntie," Ruan Yusang said politely.

Actually, the guest room had just been cleaned a couple of days ago, and the bedding had been changed to new ones. However, since Jiang Zhixin had slept in it, the sheets and blankets inevitably had a faint fragrance.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's better to get a new bed.

Chen Yan thought to himself, "My mom has a really strong learning ability. She's gotten the hang of things so quickly!"
He gave Ms. He a thumbs-up when Ruan Yusang couldn't see, but He Juan completely ignored him...

It was only 7 p.m. when dinner ended, and Ruan Yusang suggested that she wanted to see a Lunar New Year movie.

Chen Yan naturally wouldn't refuse. After greeting Old Chen, he drove her towards the movie theater in the city.

After arriving at the movie theater, Chen Yan went to queue up to buy popcorn and cola, while Ruan Yusang bought tickets at the counter.

When he returned after buying the snacks, Ruan Yusang had already bought the tickets for "The Monkey King." Chen Yan had a vague impression of this film; it seemed to be the box office champion during the 2014 Spring Festival, starring Donnie Yen, Chow Yun-fat, and Aaron Kwok, and ultimately grossed over 10 billion yuan.

However, since it was the Spring Festival season and the two had chosen a popular film, the cinema was almost full, and Ruan Yusang could only buy a seat in the third row in front.

This made Chen Yan a little depressed. He had originally wanted to sit in the last row of couple seats and spend some quality time with Ruan Yusang.

If I sit in the front row, any little movements I make will be easily seen by the people in the back. It seems I can only watch the movie quietly.

……

The two returned home at 10 p.m. after watching the movie.

Old Chen and He Juan had already gone to rest, so Chen Yan quietly led Ruan Yusang into her room.

As soon as he entered the room, the door made a soft sound behind him. The instant Chen Yan pressed the door lock, Ruan Yusang's shoulder blades were already pressed against the cold wooden door.

An eighteen-year-old's body is always restless with hunger.

Chen Yan's gaze was intense as he stared at the girl before him, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

Ruan Yusang tilted her head slightly, a blush rising on her cheeks, her eyes filled with shyness, but even more so with anticipation.

Clearly, the month of longing had tormented her greatly.

Chen Yan slowly lowered his head, and his lips gently touched the girl's lips, which were covered in lipstick.

Their lips met, initially just a light touch like a dragonfly skimming the water, then Chen Yan tightened his arms slightly, deepening the kiss.

Ruan Yusang closed her eyes, her hands unconsciously wrapping around Chen Yan's neck...

Soon, Ruan Yusang's upper body was stripped down to only a beige vest with lace trim.

Then the long dress was also taken off.

However, when Chen Yan saw her panties, he couldn't help but frown: "Baby, why are these panties so low down?"

"what?"

Ruan Yusang's eyes were glazed over. "Don't you think this cartoon pig is cute, brother?"

"I don't think so, but you're not allowed to wear it again next time."

The cartoon underwear was quickly pulled off.

Ruan Yusang bit her lip, "I haven't showered yet..."

"It's okay, I just like the original flavor."
