But at this moment, Gu Jin had no appetite at all. Yu Sheng's words had made her suspicious of Chen Henian.

She wanted to ask Chen Henian who that business partner was.

But because the whole family was there, she couldn't bring herself to ask, especially since Yu Sheng was an outsider. If she pressed for details, Yu Sheng would only laugh at her.

Thinking of all this, Gu Jin picked up her wine glass and gulped down several mouthfuls of wine, using alcohol to suppress the restlessness in her heart.

Having been married to Gu Jin for so many years, Chen Henian naturally noticed her emotions.

His face appeared unchanged, but inwardly he was seething with anger.

He and Yu Shengman had only met a few times, and each time was at family gatherings like this.

He didn't know her at all.

But judging from her manner of speaking, he felt that she should be a sensible and discreet person.

Therefore, when Yueyue told him that Yusheng had seen him having dinner with Xiaoting, he was no longer worried that she would tell Gu Jin about it.

First, their relationship as sisters-in-law was not good.

Secondly, regardless of whether he and Xiaoting have a relationship, if she tells Gu Jin about it, it will inevitably cause conflict between them as a couple, and she won't go looking for trouble.

She didn't tell Gu Jin, but she said it in front of the entire Gu family, which was even more outrageous and despicable than telling Gu Jin alone!

Although the Gu family didn't say anything, he could tell what they were thinking from their eyes and expressions.

Married men only brag to their buddies about how many women they've slept with and how many mistresses they've kept behind their wives' backs!

Besides, they practically want to wear the label of 'faithful' on their sleeves! Especially in front of their wives and families!

Yu Sheng revealed to his wife and family that he might be having an affair, which shows how furious he was!

Although she made it seem like she mentioned it casually.

But he knew she was doing it on purpose!

Although she looks like a delicate white flower, there are no truly innocent white flowers in high society.

Chen Henian sipped his wine and looked at Yu Sheng, his eyes behind his glasses brimming with anger.

Yu Sheng sensed the hostile aura emanating from Chen Henian.

She pretended not to notice and enjoyed the delicious food without being affected at all.

To cater to the elderly lady's diet, the Gu family hired a top-tier professional chef from outside, the kind who could work in a five-star hotel, whose culinary skills were naturally exceptional!

The old lady was so upset about the broken pottery vase that she had no appetite. But if she didn't attend, would they all sit here and eat in peace?

To her surprise, even though she forced them to eat there, they still wouldn't behave.

The old lady didn't want to stay there any longer, so she threw down her chopsticks and said, "You all enjoy your meal. I'm going back to my room. Yu Sheng, see me off..."

Yu Sheng, who had been singled out, sensed something was amiss.

As she helped the old lady out of the main hall, the old lady first gave her a shrewd look that made her uneasy. Then she said—

“Yu Sheng, this is your first time visiting the Gu family as their daughter-in-law. I don’t know what you should or shouldn’t say. But if there’s a next time, I don’t mind having Xiu Lan teach you a lesson.”

After Yu Sheng gave a hesitant reply, the old lady smiled and patted her hand: "You are a smart child. Grandma believes that you did not mean to make a mistake today."

After being slapped hard by the old lady and then forced to eat a sweet date, Yu Sheng smiled obediently and reluctantly before the old lady left.

If the new bride causes such chaos on her very first day at the family home, one can only imagine what the future holds...

Actually, she knew that being a daughter-in-law in the Gu family was not easy when she first came to Gu Ye's house.

But at that time, Gu Ye was truly devoted to her, and in order to be with him, she was willing to jump into this fire pit.

Now that I've jumped in, I know what it feels like to be engulfed in flames!

No wonder experienced people say that love is between two people, but marriage involves two families!

She didn't understand before, but now she has a deep understanding of it.

Yu Sheng withdrew her gaze and turned around to see Chen Henian standing not far away.

She knew he had come specifically to settle scores with her.

But she will make him unable to settle accounts.

Yu Shengying smiled and walked over, greeted him, and then went into the house.

As we passed each other, he said, "I always thought you were a sensible person."

Yu Sheng pretended not to understand: "What does brother-in-law mean by that?"

"You know what I mean," Chen Henian said coldly, then added, "All along, even though Gu Jin has been targeting you, I've always treated you with courtesy. Not only do you not appreciate it, but you've also deliberately made the Gu family suspect that I have a woman outside. Don't you think you've gone too far?"

Yu Sheng frowned: "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word you're saying. When did I let the Gu family suspect that you have a woman outside?"

Seeing that Yu Sheng was determined to keep up the act, Chen Henian didn't waste any words with her.

"I will get my revenge for what happened today, sooner or later!"

After uttering these harsh words, Chen Henian walked towards the gate.

Yu Sheng returned to the main hall, leaving only Gu Tenghui and his son Gu Ye at the dining table.

Gu Tenghui stayed, clearly for the sake of saving face at the end.

...

On the way back to Xinhe Bay, Yu Sheng noticed that Gu Ye hesitated several times before asking, "What do you want to say?"

Gu hesitated for a moment, then took Yu Sheng's hand: "Why didn't you tell me about your brother-in-law having dinner with the business partner's secretary?"

"Are you blaming me for bringing this up in front of your whole family?"

"I'm not blaming you, besides, you didn't do it on purpose."

"I did it on purpose!"
