Chapter 174 Divorced Wife Turns on Herself vs. Arrogant Rich Husband (Part 3)
Dinner time on the second day.
"What's wrong with Jiahang? Aren't you coming over for dinner?" Gu Likun asked casually.
"Dad, my brother-in-law wrecked my toy car," Gu Jiahang said angrily.
Yesterday he went to Li Sumei to complain, but Li Sumei ignored him completely and forbade him from telling Gu Likun.
He had been holding back all day, but finally he decided to speak out.
"You child!" Li Sumei said unhappily.
Jiang Zhiyi has only recently returned to the Gu family, and Gu Likun is very concerned about her.
If such a small matter causes any unpleasantness, Gu Likun will definitely blame Gu Jiahang and her, which is really unnecessary.
Li Sumei quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Don't worry about him, it's nothing important. It's just that Jiahang is disobedient. I'll teach him a lesson later."
Gu Jiahang couldn't help but retort, "It's very important! My car is completely wrecked!"
Yesterday, he cried for a long time while holding that pile of cars that had turned into rubble.
Li Sumei: "You shut up."
Gu Likun frowned.
Seeing this, Chu Lincheng said calmly, "Yesterday, Zhizhi and I were sunbathing in the garden when my little brother ran over and tried to run us over with his toy car, saying he was going to kill us all. So I gave him a talking-to..."
Jiang Zhiyi looked at him upon hearing this, somewhat surprised that he would say such a thing.
Chu Lincheng touched her hand and continued talking, still with a smile on his face.
"It was my fault. I accidentally stepped on his toy. Jiahang, come and eat. Your brother-in-law will buy you a new toy car later."
Gu Jiahang wanted to retort, but Gu Likun didn't give him a chance to speak.
"Come and sit down." Gu Likun said coldly, but he didn't lash out for the time being.
It's not appropriate to lecture him at the dinner table. I'll teach him a lesson later and make him apologize properly. He has absolutely no manners and no respect for elders.
Chu Lincheng put some food into Jiang Zhiyi's bowl, indicating that she should eat properly.
He then said to Gu Likun, "Dad, I think it would be better if we moved out. We'll come back to visit you here often in the future."
Gu Likun: "You've been living comfortably at home for only a few days. Jiahang is being disobedient, I'll talk to him about it later. Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen again."
"It's not because of this. My younger brother is still young, so we didn't take it to heart."
"Then why do you want to move out? This is your home. If you're not comfortable in any of the places, just say so. You're not strangers, so you don't need to be polite. You can make any requests you have."
Gu Likun then looked at Jiang Zhiyi, who hadn't spoken, and said, "You two can stay here. Don't mention moving out again. Continue eating."
"Mm." Jiang Zhiyi nodded.
Not long after the meal.
Gu Jiahang came over to apologize with red eyes, clearly having just been severely reprimanded.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that yesterday. Please forgive me."
"Be more obedient from now on," Jiang Zhiyi said.
Gu Jiahang then looked at Chu Lincheng and asked, "You said you would buy me a new car, do you keep your word?"
Gu Likun was particularly harsh just now, not only punishing him by making him copy the text, but also forbidding him from touching toys for a month, so he had to find another way.
Chu Lincheng raised an eyebrow. This kid was really precocious for his age. He asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll beat you up?"
He was just being polite back then; he had no intention of compensating Gu Jiahang with a car.
"I...I've already apologized, and you've forgiven me, so you can't hit me," Gu Jiahang replied seriously.
Chu Lin originally wanted to kick them out, but Jiang Zhiyi spoke first.
“We’re not available,” she said slowly.
Gu Jiahang's gaze fell upon them, and his face immediately turned extremely sad.
"The housekeeper will take you tomorrow," she said.
Chu Lincheng also turned his head to look at Jiang Zhiyi, but he didn't say anything more. Since she had agreed, he would naturally follow her lead.
"Thank you." Gu Jiahang said this and ran away quickly, afraid that she might change her mind.
Inside the room.
Chu Lincheng gently held her hand, looked down at it, and then rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb.
"He's just as troublesome as Ziyang. Let's go see our older brother another day; it's been a long time since we last went."
"Okay," Jiang Zhiyi replied.
After a long while, she asked again, "We don't want children... Won't you regret it later?"
She felt that he seemed to really like children.
No, he does really like his nephew, and he's very protective of his own.
"No," Chu Lincheng replied.
"You're so good to me, my husband." Jiang Zhiyi kissed him.
He's a great help to her, so she must get along well with him.
She had previously worried that her reluctance to have children might affect her relationship with him, but now it seems he doesn't care.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"It's nothing, I was just asking." She shook her head and hugged the person again.
Chu Lincheng smiled and leaned down to kiss her.
Late at night.
Jiang Zhiyi was already fast asleep in Chu Lincheng's arms. He kissed her hair and rubbed against her.
Actually, he was lying to her before; he told her a lie. He didn't have a tubal ligation; he has a health problem and can't have children.
He said that on purpose to win her favor.
At first, he was only somewhat interested in her... However, as they spent more time together, he became increasingly infatuated and unable to extricate himself.
She was lovely and very likable, or rather, he liked her.
From friends to lovers to spouses, the journey was so smooth that it was almost unbelievable to him.
However, the longer they spent together, the more he felt something was off. Sometimes she treated him like she was completing a task, and he didn't like that feeling.
And then there's the Gu family, she insisted on coming here... Today he tried to find an excuse to move out, but he didn't succeed.
Her parents-in-law treat her very well; she doesn't lack parental love. She says she's only doing this to protect the family's assets, but he has plenty of money, and she doesn't lack money at all.
Chu Lincheng couldn't understand it, but he had no other choice. Since she wanted it, he would do it for her.
He didn't want her to waste any time here; she should be with him wholeheartedly and only think about him.
...
Two weeks later.
One afternoon, the Gu family received a phone call saying that the car that was picking up Gu Jiahang had been in an accident on the road.
Gu Likun and Li Sumei rushed to the hospital.
Chu Lincheng stood on the balcony watching the car rush away from the villa, his eyes unfathomable.
