Chapter 130 Cruelty is Reality

Chapter 130 Cruelty is Reality

If any child could become an heir.

There wouldn't be so many illegitimate children; they would still be illegitimate.

There will be no concept of orthodoxy or legitimate heirs.

Excellent maternal and paternal families produce the most outstanding heirs.

Inheriting the wealth accumulated by the two families is the fundamental way for a family to continue its legacy.

A family with a history spanning centuries, deeply intertwined and deeply rooted.

How did they come about? They came from a marriage alliance.

That's why there's the saying "marrying someone of equal social standing".

Those who rise to power through their children are just characters in novels.

Of course, occasionally some brainless aristocratic families will do this, but they are a minority!

Especially in today's society where you can book a hotel room anytime.

Pregnancy is the key to becoming a socialite and securing a position as a wealthy and influential woman.

That's a joke. The ruthlessness of the rich is far more complex than that.

Gu Tingxiao cautiously probed.

"Isn't being irresponsible a bit scummy?"

"Aren't you a scumbag? Can't you do something to restore your image?"

Zhou Ran retorted directly, asking if any of the things he had done were reliable.

Are you still worried about your reputation?

His reputation has long been ruined, hasn't it?

Gu Tingxiao suddenly realized that what the two said made perfect sense!

That makes perfect sense.

But no matter how I look at it, it feels like these words are being insulted at him.

My chest hurts a little.

I didn't expect the matter to be resolved so quickly after crossing the line.

Gu Tingxiao felt a sense of relief.

"Thank you, I'm off to cancel the engagement party. I'll treat you to dinner another day!"

Gu Tingxiao left decisively.

He didn't want to be fed dog food here. That dog Xia Chengan was practically devouring Zhou Ran with those eyes.

Men who are obsessed with love are truly terrifying.

Gu Tingxiao came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

It seems there won't be an engagement party tomorrow.

Zhou Ran handed the empty fruit bowl she was holding to Xia Chenggan.

"promise!"

Xia Chenggan took the bowl of fruit.

"You really can eat and sleep a lot."

"Otherwise what?"

Zhou Ran raised an eyebrow. Had this man suddenly gone mad? Why was he acting so strangely?

"Speak quickly, or spit it out. I'll start the next round soon."

Xia Chenggan was helpless. This man was his ancestor; he couldn't be hit or scolded, and he had to be indulged.

"I've heard that Young Master Zhou has a childhood sweetheart fiancée who is still obsessed with you."

That's a very sour, jealous remark.

Zhou Ran smiled.

"What? Are you jealous?"

"I'm jealous! Why can't I announce to the world that you're mine, and she's fine too!"

Xia Chenggan felt depressed.

The previous wedding banquets were small-scale gatherings for the upper class.

Those who came were all from familiar aristocratic families.

The reason we didn't hold a big event back then was to make it easier for fishing and to clean up all the trash.

Everything was resolved, and the things that controlled them disappeared.

Xia Chenggan had always wanted to hold another grand wedding of the century.

He announced to everyone, letting everyone know that he was married.

Her marriage partner is Zhou Ran.

They were a couple for life, inseparable.

But as soon as he voiced his idea, Zhou Ran rejected it.

The reason given was that he didn't want to go through all the trouble.

He actually said their wedding was a hassle!

It's true that Zhou Ran is not old enough to get married.

He was inconsiderate.

He could tolerate Zhou Ran's unwillingness to do it now.

But why should that woman be allowed to go around proclaiming that she is Zhou Ran's fiancée?

On what grounds?

Is Xia Chenggan really that shameful?

Zhou Ran did a side somersault and jumped off the horse scaffold.

Upon seeing him, Xia Chenggan, disregarding all other nonsense, rushed over anxiously and reached out to catch him.

Zhou Ran landed steadily in Xia Chenggan's arms.

Xia Chenggan weighed the object in his hand.

He frowned. "Why are you lighter again? Didn't you eat properly again?"

"I ate until I was completely full. That's just my constitution, you know that."

Zhou Ran reached out and gave Xia Chenggan a light slap on the head.

Are you awake?

"Ouch! Why did you hit me again?"

"Your eyes are all red, you're about to explode again! Can't you just calm down for a second!"

Zhou Ran was extremely annoyed.

Once the world's consciousness is eliminated, no one will be able to control or arrange things for them.

Everything was fine, except for Xia Chenggan's occasional bouts of sudden madness, which was a real headache.

It seems he'll have to ask Wu when he has time if there's any way to resolve this.

"Who are you thinking about again? Your fiancée?"

Xia Chenggan continued to be jealous; whenever that woman was mentioned, Xia Chenggan couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy.

He had contacted Ning Rui before and knew that in his previous life, Zhou Ran had a lover she almost married.

She's still a woman.

This discovery made President Xia feel extremely threatened.

What if, just what if, Zhou Ran still thinks women are better?

What should he do?

He won't let go; he wants to lock people up so only he can see them.

"Smack!"

Zhou Ran swiftly slapped him across the face; the action was so practiced that it didn't even need to be seen.

Xia Chenggan, who was brought back to his senses by the slap, felt extremely aggrieved.

"Okay, stop looking at me with that pitiful look. You're not a pet dog, you're a domineering CEO, okay?"

"I'm not a domineering CEO, I'm just love-struck!"

Zhou Ran rolled her eyes.

This world is really enough; it's better to fight and kill each other.

Xia Chenggan hugged Zhou Ran tightly.

"They all say that being love-struck is a man's best dowry."

"They also said that even dogs wouldn't eat someone with a love-struck brain."

Zhou Ran pushed away the large head that was leaning in.

Ever since that day of the massacre, this person's yandere nature has become impossible to hide.

He acts all high and mighty in public, but he goes crazy the moment I see him. It's just too much.

"If you keep causing trouble, I'll throw you out. Anyway, the house is in my name now."

"You have a fiancée, and you still want to dump me!"

This matter is beyond repair.

"I don't believe you don't know that Jiang Jingting's target isn't me. Why are you being jealous? Is that fun?"

"I know she's not after you, but she can't use you as a stepping stone and tie herself to the title of your fiancée. I don't like that. You're mine, and no one can take you away, neither in name nor in reality!"

Xia Chenggan's domineering possessiveness flared up.

Zhou Ran glanced at it, her eyes didn't turn red, even her rationality couldn't prevent her from acting out.

"I am mine, not yours. Don't try that kindergarten-style name-writing-to-own-stakes stuff. You're too old for that. You don't need to get involved in this. I'm bored anyway, so I want to see what tricks this woman can pull!"

"I want to see it too."

Zhou Ran's indulgence was simply because he wanted to watch the show; he didn't actually have feelings for that woman.

Since it's a good show, he wants to watch it too.

The book says that you should cultivate the same interests and hobbies with your partner so that you can have common topics to talk about.

"What are you planning to do? Pretend to be a student? You're too old!"

"Who said that?! I'm in my prime, only 27, how am I old?"

How old am I?

Zhou Ran pointed to her face.

"sixteen!"

Xia Chenggan answered crisply.

He's turning seventeen in two months, and he's already prepared his birthday present.

"That settles it, I'm the tender grass, and you're the old cow, is there a problem?"

"No problem, an old cow eating young grass!"

Xia Chenggan was very happy that his name was associated with Zhou Ran's.

Zhou Ran rolled her eyes. Oh no, she's hopelessly in love.

He didn't do anything?

How did a marriage of convenience turn into a real one?

For someone as intelligent as me to spend all my time fantasizing about how to win over myself is practically an incurable disease.

You should go see a doctor!

Zhou Ran patted Xia Chenggan on the shoulder, her expression meaningful.

I took my phone upstairs to my room to play. Staying away from love-struck thoughts is good for my mental and physical health.

Xia Chenggan rubbed his fingers, which still retained Zhou Ran's warmth.

Dial the assistant's number.

"I need you to do something."

Gu Tingxiao returned home and spread the news of the cancellation of the engagement banquet as quickly as possible.

Then, accompanied by bodyguards, they went straight to Zhong Xiaoxue's house.

Zhong Xiaoxue is on the phone.

"Don't worry, Gu Tingxiao trusts me a lot now. Tomorrow I will become Mrs. Gu, and I can give you whatever you want anytime then."

"The more critical the situation, the more careful we should be."

Zhong Xiaoxue nodded, "Yes, I know. The child in my belly is the bargaining chip. If they want a grandson, they have to marry me. Once I'm in the Gu family, I can give that philanderer Gu Tingxiao some medicine to kill his offspring, and the Gu family will be mine."

Zhong Xiaoxue had planned it very well.

She never believed in prodigal sons returning home, much less in a playboy settling down and doting on her alone.

It's not a TV series, nor is it a novel.

How can a man put his heart into a woman?

Ambition and plunder are instincts ingrained in men's genes.

A fleeting moment of liking is nowhere as sweet as the power you hold in your hands.

She wants to use this child to completely control the Gu family.

From now on, Gu Jia will be in charge.

Gu Tingxiao's dog.

It's not that I want him to go left, he's afraid to go right.

I imagined the wonderful scene after she came to power.

Zhong Xiaoxue can even laugh in her dreams.

As for whether the baby in her womb is healthy.

Who's my father? That won't matter then.

When she comes to power, no one will dare to boss her around.

It's just a dog that barks and yells at people.

"Okay, be careful. Call me if anything happens."

"good."

The phone call ended two days later.

Zhong Xiaoxue went to take a shower and came out wrapped in a bathrobe.

She saw Gu Tingxiao sitting on her bed in her bedroom.

Startled, she wondered why Gu Tingxiao had arrived at this time.

However, Zhong Xiaoxue reacted quickly, and she immediately put on a perfectly timed smile.

"Tingxiao, what brings you here? You didn't even call me."

"I've come to see you, how could I not welcome you?"

Gu Tingxiao was playing with Zhong Xiaoxue's phone.

Zhong Xiaoxue silently sat down next to Gu Tingxiao, her gaze lingering on Gu Tingxiao's hands.

There are some things on her phone that she can't let Gu Tingxiao see.

"Yes, you're not welcome. Didn't Mom say we can't meet for the three days before the wedding? I don't think I can see you at all."

That's not a lie.

Gu's mother also specifically instructed them not to meet three days before the engagement.

It's said to be unlucky.

What's unlucky?

It's all an excuse; it's just that old woman doesn't like her, her daughter-in-law from an ordinary background, and she's making things difficult for her.

"I don't say that here. I missed you, so I came to see you and... the baby!!"

Gu Tingxiao elongated and emphasized the word "baby".

He was initially overjoyed at the arrival of the child, after all, it was his first. Author's Note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
