It seems that this matter has been resolved.
The Zhao family left, and the onlookers dispersed. But only Lu Huaijiao and Gu Changzheng knew that this matter was not so simple.
Gu Changzheng was worried that the Zhao family might have a backup plan, so he needed to be more vigilant.
Lu Huaijiao's approach was completely different; she wanted to actively stir up trouble.
We must bring down the Zhao family.
If someone dares to covet her things, she'll kill them; otherwise, she's not Lu Huaijiao!
Okay, even though Gu Changzheng isn't an object but a person, he's still hers, someone she's officially recognized as hers. (Gu Changzheng: ??? I'm not an object?) Want to touch her people? If she doesn't do something, wouldn't she be letting down her rebirth?
Lu Huaijiao was calculating how to bring down the Zhao family, so she didn't say much when she entered the room.
He Meizhu thought she was angry with Gu Changzheng, so she grabbed the broom in her hand and started hitting Gu Changzheng.
"Fourth brother, you good-for-nothing, how dare you go around having affairs? I'm going to teach you a lesson today."
Lu Huaijiao: ? ? ?
Gu Changzheng: ? ? ?
Before the young couple could react, He Meizhu had already raised the broom high in her hand.
Just as the broom was about to fall, Gu Changzheng quickly ran behind Lu Huaijiao, crouching down behind her with his tall frame and resting his head on her shoulder.
He was originally a towering, upright man, but at this moment he looked like a frightened quail.
He hid behind his young wife, trembling with fear.
"Wife, help! Mom is being unreasonable."
"..."
Lu Huaijiao was speechless.
He Meizhu angrily demanded that Gu Changzheng come out.
"Mom, this has nothing to do with Fourth Brother."
Lu Huaijiao was initially speechless, but she couldn't resist her soft heart and couldn't bear to see Gu Changzheng suffer this undeserved misfortune.
She then spoke up to persuade He Meizhu: "In this matter, Fourth Brother and we are all victims. If anyone is to blame, it's Zhao Rui."
Gu Changzheng remained huddled behind his wife, nodding and humming in agreement.
"Yes, or you could blame it on you and my dad for making me so good-looking."
He Meizhu:? ? ?
He Meizhu, who had been keeping a stern face and determined to be a strict mother, was amused by Gu Changzheng's words and burst out laughing.
He cursed Gu Changzheng a few times in annoyance before putting down the broom and turning to go to the kitchen to cook.
After her mother-in-law left, Lu Huaijiao glanced sideways at the man who was still hiding behind her.
"Shouldn't you be coming out by now?"
"Honey, I've suffered an undeserved misfortune today, and I'm feeling very down."
"Hmm? So what?"
"Honey, could you please comfort my wounded heart tonight?"
Lu Huaijiao: ...
Without hesitation, she shook off his hand.
I don't want to waste any more breath arguing with him about this.
On the Zhao family's side.
Zhao Rui waited happily at home for her mother to bring Gu Changzheng back. She even tidied herself up and changed into a nice outfit for the occasion.
But Gu Changzheng never arrived.
Instead, it was her father, Zhao Guofu, who came into the house one after the other with his mother, his face full of anger.
Zhao Rui had no idea what had happened.
She looked at Hu Meiyu to the side.
"Mom, what's wrong? Where's Brother Changzheng?"
Even at this point, you're still thinking about Gu Changzheng?
Hu Meiyu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and gently shook her head.
"Xiaorui...Mom..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Guofu interrupted her.
"Zhao Rui, do you know what a good deed you did today?"
When Zhao Guofu saw his daughter sitting on the sofa, dressed neatly, he didn't want to lose his temper because of what she had experienced yesterday. However, when his daughter asked why Gu Changzheng hadn't come, Zhao Guofu's anger flared up.
How could Zhao Guofu have such a brainless daughter? Her stupid and dull appearance is really unlike that of the Zhao family.
She doesn't seem like Zhao Guofu's daughter at all.
If Hu Meiyu weren't the kind of woman who would cheat on him, he would really doubt whether Zhao Rui was his biological daughter.
Zhao Rui was already upset enough by her hopes being dashed, but hearing her father say this now felt like being pierced by a thousand arrows.
She looked up at Zhao Guofu with tears in her eyes.
"Dad, what did I do?"
"Are you still playing dumb with me? You said that brat from the Gu family is already married, why are you still thinking about him? You even encouraged your mother to kneel down and beg him to come see you? You've completely disgraced the Zhao family."
Zhao Guofu possesses true qi.
He was such a person who cared so much about his image, and he had painstakingly maintained a good image for decades, but his wife and daughters ruined it all in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, the other party seemed to be the kind of person who was impervious to reason and who he couldn't control even with his power.
This made him very angry.
Zhao Rui didn't think there was anything wrong with her.
"Is it wrong for me to like Brother Changzheng? He's so handsome and so gentle. Is it wrong for me to like him and want to be with him?" Zhao Rui cried out.
"You've all been telling me since I was little that if I like someone, I should try my best to win them over. I've only liked one man in all these years, so why can't I try to win him over?"
Zhao Guofu was so angry he almost fainted.
He never expected Zhao Rui to turn out like this.
"I'm telling you to fight for it, but I'm not telling you to fall for a married man."
Zhao Guofu tried his best to control his anger, allowing himself to catch his breath so that he wouldn't die of anger immediately.
After a long pause, she continued, "He's married and has children. If he's interested in you, that's fine, but if he's not, and you keep bothering him, a few years ago you'd be arrested as a hooligan."
Zhao Guofu has truly devoted himself to his daughter.
He tried to reason with her, to make her understand that it was absolutely irrational for her to fall in love with someone who was already married and had a family.
The reason is actually very simple: Zhao Rui has already fallen head over heels in love, and she can no longer listen to anything anyone says.
Moreover, when Zhao Guofu talked a bit too much, Zhao Rui covered her face and started crying.
"I know I'm not clean anymore, and you don't love me anymore. You don't want me to be the Zhao family's daughter anymore. In that case, I might as well die."
"After I die, you won't have to make things difficult for me."
As Zhao Rui spoke, she stood up and rushed forcefully towards the pillar by the door.
This terrified Hu Meiyu and Old Mrs. Zhao.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's expressions changed drastically. They rushed over and hugged Zhao Rui, preventing her from committing suicide.
"Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui, what are you doing? You're going to kill your mother and your grandmother!"
Hu Meiyu and Old Mrs. Zhao hugged Zhao Rui from both sides, crying their hearts out.
"grandmother."
"mom!"
Zhao Rui hugged the two of them back, and the three of them huddled together, crying their hearts out.
Zhao Guofu watched the group of people crying their hearts out, feeling both angry and helpless.
