I slept with the wrong person on my wedding night, and the boss spoiled me rotten!

Over the years, the Lin family has never mentioned fulfilling the marriage agreement, and Gu Jingshen had almost forgotten about it.

Last time at the bar, Lin Tingran acted as if she didn't know him, and didn't even respond to her friends' jokes.

Moreover, Gu Jingshen heard from Zhang Yi that she was getting engaged to someone else. How come the groom suddenly became him?

"I didn't have a chance to tell you this while Jiang was here. Now that she's out, you should take care of your own affairs to avoid any misunderstandings."

After giving her instructions, Grandma closed her eyes and took a nap.

Gu Jingshen remembered that Jiang Xuxu said she was going to see a friend. When he dropped her off at the street earlier, he vaguely saw a familiar figure.

"Damn it!"

He put down the kettle, left the courtyard, and drove to the coffee shop. He called Jiang Xuxu, but she didn't answer.

As the vehicle traveled halfway up the mountain, a black pickup truck suddenly darted out from a side road.

Bang!

Tesla didn't have time to dodge; Gu Jingshen was looking down and texting Jiang Xuxu.

There wasn't enough time for the car to flip and tumble down the cliff...

When the car stopped, Gu Jingshen had been thrown five meters away and was covered in blood.

He suffered a severe head injury, yet he clutched his phone tightly in his hand; the screen was shattered, and the message he had just edited hadn't been sent.

A pair of black leather shoes approached, and then, his long shadow, stretched by the midday sun, enveloped him in darkness.

The man bent down, took his phone, and deleted the unsent text messages.

In the coffee shop, Jiang Xuxu and Lin Tingran faced off.

The atmosphere was tense.

"You're saying that the person who was being intimate with Lu Chen in the hallway that day wasn't you?" Jiang Xuxu sneered.

Lin Tingran pretended to be wronged, wiped away her tears, and sobbed softly.

"Xuxu, you really misunderstood me. That day, Wang Lili suddenly came to me and said she had an important document for me to deliver. She happened to be on her period and her dress was dirty, so I just lent it to her."

The whole company knows that Wang Lili is in love with Lu Chen, and she does indeed have a similar image and temperament to Lin Tingran, even their hairstyles are the same.

For a while, colleagues even gossiped and mocked Wang Lili for imitating Lin Tingran.

Wang Lili also tried several times to win her over privately and sow discord between her and Jiang Xuxu, but Lin Tingran firmly rejected them all.

They were just assigned to the same project last month, so it's normal for them to have some interaction.

That makes it not impossible.

"Xuxu, believe me, I would never betray our ten-year friendship for a man!"

Lin Tingran looked anxious and aggrieved, but she was secretly very pleased.

As long as Lu Chen doesn't expose their relationship, no one can prove that she and Lu Chen were ever close.

If Jiang Xuxu had evidence, she would have kept her distance from her long ago, even without making a scene.

Just then, Jiang Xuxu's phone vibrated. When she opened it, she saw that it was a message from Gu Jingshen.

There's an important meeting at the company, so I'm heading back to Beicheng first.

We agreed to go back together, but he left first.

She wouldn't believe a single word Lin Tingran said, but given her personality, she probably wouldn't confront her directly.

I'll just stay away from people who say one thing and mean another in the future.

Putting down her phone, Jiang Xuxu said to Lin Tingran, "Let's not talk about the past anymore. If you don't like the things I gave you, you can throw them away."

Anyway, she won't be sending anything to Lin Tingran anymore.

After saying that, she got up to leave, but Lin Tingran stopped her. "Then when I get married, can you be my bridesmaid?"

Jiang Xuxu paused for a moment, then forced a smile, "We'll see. I have an interview tomorrow, so I have to go back."

"Okay." Lin Tingran released her hand.

Watching Jiang Xuxu leave the coffee shop, she held her phone to her ear and said, "You can go now."

Jiang Xuxu walked towards the farmhouse courtyard. She and Gu Jingshen's wedding was canceled; her parents had already brought her future brother and sister-in-law back today to prepare for the wedding banquet.

Even though the house in the city hadn't been handed over yet, Liang Yuan was willing to persuade her parents to hold the wedding in Qingzhen.

With the wedding date approaching, this place needs to be decorated nicely.

When Jiang Xuxu arrived at her doorstep, she saw an unfamiliar car parked in the courtyard.

That's the license plate number of the car from the north of the city.

The sounds of laughter and conversation drifted from inside the house, and a sense of unease crept into her heart.

Pushing open the door, the scene before her eyes instantly shocked her.

"Lu Chen?" Jiang Xuxu looked completely bewildered. "What are you doing at my house?"

Seeing Jiang Xuxu return, Xu Jiahui quickly stepped forward to explain, "Xuxu, Mr. Lu came today to apologize. Since you weren't here, we had to let him go home first—"

"Mom!" Jiang Xuxu roared, looking incredulously at her parents and her younger brother who was eating sunflower seeds beside her.

"How can you let outsiders into our home so easily?"

Faced with Jiang Xuxu's accusations, Jiang's parents showed no remorse, but rather looked embarrassed.

Jiang Huai stood up and said reproachfully, "Xuxu, how can you talk like that! Mr. Lu came here specifically to apologize today, how can you turn him away?"

"Besides, you've achieved your current success in the company all these years thanks to Mr. Lu's help and support. Even if you two have relationship problems, you can't deny his kindness to you, right?"

"Yes, sister, you can't repay kindness with enmity!" Jiang Rusheng chimed in.

"Heh." Jiang Xuxu sneered.

As expected of her good family, their ability to change their expressions so quickly still puts her to shame.

"It's only been a few days, and you've already forgotten how he slandered me online and even came to my house to sow discord, almost making me lose face in front of my fellow villagers?"

Xu Jiahui pulled her arm and advised, "Xuxu, you can't blame Mr. Lu entirely. Your parents always taught you that as long as you do the right thing, no one can throw dirty water on you."

"Xuxu, I'm sorry, it was all a misunderstanding before. I care about you too much, and I never meant to hurt you..."

Lu Chen immediately knelt down, his eyes filled with tears.

"A man's knees are worth gold," Jiang Huai quickly helped him up. "Lu Chen, give Xuxu some time, she'll think things through."

"Yes, sis, I think Brother Lu is a good guy, and he's generous. How is he any worse than others?"

"Xuxu, stop joking around. Nobody's perfect. You and Lu Chen have been together for seven years. How can you just break it off like that?"

"You...you all..."

The group argued back and forth, making Jiang Xuxu tremble with anger. She took two steps back, pointed at them, and ran out of the house.

She was truly driven mad by this family's money-grubbing and snobbishness.

The two elders of the Jiang family gave Jiang Rusheng a wink, and he immediately got up and chased after them, calling out, "Sister, wait for me."

"Come on, Lu Chen, sit down. She'll be back once she calms down."

Lu Chen smiled knowingly, sat back down on the sofa and drank tea, while Liang Yuan, with her pregnant belly, was still cooking for them in the kitchen.

"Sis, slow down!"

On the street, Jiang Rusheng grabbed Jiang Xuxu's hand, "Good sister, why are you so angry? Brother-in-law Lu drove all this way—"

"open!"

Jiang Xuxu suddenly shook him off, her body weight shifted backward, and she was almost hit by the car.

"Are you asking for it?! Go argue at home, you're just another blind fool!"

The man on the motorcycle sped past, cursing and swearing.

"Just two days ago she was clinging to Gu Jingshen's leg and calling him brother-in-law, and today she's acting like a thief..."

As Jiang Xuxu walked away, she cursed him for being ungrateful, "What did that bastard give you that made your whole family defend him like this?"

Jiang Rusheng stepped in front of her, trying to reason with her, "Sister, you've misunderstood! How could I possibly mistake a thief for my brother-in-law?"

Jiang Xuxu paused, "What do you mean?"

"Oh my, Brother Lu took his parents to settle the final payment on that apartment in the city, two million, sister..."

Jiang Xuxu instantly regained her senses.

Utterly disappointed! How could she possibly have any hope for someone like that?

Hopefully they have other reasons, and hopefully he won't associate with wolves.

"Get out!" Jiang Xuxu roared and ran towards home.
