An ugly daughter-in-law is afraid to meet her in-laws.
However, Lin Chuxia was afraid to meet her mother-in-law not because she was ugly, nor because Old Madam Gu treated her badly.
On the contrary, Madam Gu treated her very well, even better than she treated Gu Yuheng.
She was afraid to see Madam Gu, but for a completely different reason.
At this moment, in Jinxiu Residential Area.
The Gu residence.
After hanging up the phone, Madam Gu couldn't help but complain to Old Master Gu about Gu Yuheng's behavior.
"That bastard! I'm obviously doing this for his own good, but he treats me like a thief! Do you think I'd steal Chu Xia from him?"
"Besides, if he weren't incompetent, would I be so worried? I've been in the Lin family for over a year, and I've heard that Chu Xia is terrified of him now, like she's seen a ghost! I wonder what he did to Chu Xia that is so hateful and despicable."
"At this rate, forget about having a grandson... even the daughter-in-law we're already talking about will probably fly away!"
"Look at that husky, look at him! What kind of mess has he made? Other huskies have puppies running all over the neighborhood in less than six months, and he's not even as good as a husky! Why am I so unlucky to have such a son..."
Upon hearing his wife's words, Old Gu finally couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Yes, the husky is a dog owned by Madam Gu.
"You brat, if you won't let me talk to Chu Xia, I'll talk to her anyway!" After saying that, Madam Gu opened her contacts, found Lin Chu Xia's contact information, and dialed the number.
Upon seeing the address displayed on her phone screen, Lin Chuxia was so startled she almost dropped her phone.
"Hello, Mom, is there something you need?"
"Chuxia, I'm calling you for no other reason than to say that Yuheng has never really interacted with girls much since he was little, and I'm worried that you might be mistreated by him. If you think he's done anything wrong, feel free to hit or scold him, don't hold back!"
Gu Yuheng, who had heard everything clearly while sitting to the side, was speechless.
"Men, they're all the same—they take advantage of kindness and become arrogant with the slightest kindness!" Old Mrs. Gu continued enthusiastically. "However, I know Yuheng's character well. Although he's universally disliked, he does have one redeeming quality: he's obedient! If he does something wrong, you can scold him. If he doesn't listen, tell me, and I'll beat him up for you!"
Gu Yuheng, whom everyone despises: "..."
Lin Chuxia was also stunned. She had interacted with the old ladies in the village before, but this was the first time she had ever become a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with one of them.
So, it turns out that my mother-in-law's thoughts are so novel and adorable as she gets older?
Glancing at Gu Yuheng's somewhat dark expression, Lin Chuxia couldn't help but chuckle softly, nodding and saying, "Mom, don't worry! If he misbehaves, I'll beat him up! If he dares to fight back, I'll tell you and Dad, and have you help me teach him a lesson!"
As she said this, Lin Chuxia glanced at Gu Yuheng with a smug look on her face, perfectly embodying the meaning of "a dog relying on its master's power".
However, she soon stopped laughing.
“That makes perfect sense! Chu Xia, ah—” The old lady’s voice trailed off, and you could tell from her tone that she was in a very good mood. “I’ve had the bed in your and Yu Heng’s room changed. I’ve replaced it with a big, sturdy one that’s very comfortable. You’ll definitely like it! You can stay for a few more days.”
Changing the bed? Why would I want to change the bed? She never said she wanted to change the bed. However, before Lin Chuxia could raise her doubts, Grandma Gu happily hung up the phone.
Yes, the old lady made a special phone call to Lin Chuxia just to say this. At this moment, the old lady was thinking: if she could sleep comfortably in bed, her little grandson wouldn't be far away.
Yes, this is also why Lin Chuxia is afraid to see Old Mrs. Gu—she's afraid of being pressured to have children. -_-||
"Did you tell Mom that you wanted to change the bed in the old house?" Perhaps because she had just finished talking to Old Madam Gu and had the Empress Dowager's decree, Lin Chuxia felt that she was more upright, so when she spoke to Gu Yuheng, she couldn't help but have a bit of an "overbearing" attitude, and her tone was a bit aggressive.
"I didn't say that." Looking at the radiant Lin Chuxia, Gu Yuheng couldn't help but want to rub salt in her wounds. "Didn't you say it?"
"???" Lin Chuxia's eyes widened. "Don't frame me! When did I say that?!"
"That night we stayed at the old house. You said, 'This bed makes a creaking noise, it looks like an old relic,' have you forgotten?"
Lin Chuxia's eyes widened even more. She had indeed said something like that that night, but what did that have to do with changing the bed?
“I forgot to tell you,” Gu Yuheng said with a hint of mockery, “the soundproofing in the old house isn’t good.”
"Damn it!!!" Shocked, Lin Chuxia couldn't help but swear, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"
If that's the case, then her in-laws could hear everything that happened in their room that night!
"Would it have been any better if I had told you sooner?" Gu Yuheng retorted.
"Of course it's useful! If you had told me sooner, would I have been so embarrassed?" Lin Chuxia was so angry that she wanted to slap the plate in her hand onto Gu Yuheng's smug face.
“But even if you knew beforehand that the bed would make noise, it wouldn’t have mattered!” Gu Yuheng feigned ignorance. “After all, your moans that night were louder than the bed itself.”
"You..." Lin Chuxia's face flushed red, and she kicked Gu Yuheng's shin hard in anger, "Who told you about that bed!"
She was referring to the soundproofing of the old house!
If she had known the old house wasn't well soundproofed, she wouldn't have...
Good heavens! This is practically the same as them broadcasting live right in front of the elderly couple!
Thinking about what happened that night, Lin Chuxia's face turned so red that it seemed like it was about to bleed.
Gu Yuheng watched the girl run away, covering her face, and felt extremely happy. He knew perfectly well that Lin Chuxia was referring to the soundproofing of the old house; he just thought the girl's previous expression was too arrogant and wanted to tease her for fun.
However, thinking about what happened at the old house that night, a hint of unease flashed across Gu Yuheng's otherwise expressionless face.
He had always known that the old house was not soundproof. That night, he originally just wanted to sleep peacefully, but later... he really couldn't help himself and couldn't hold back.
When the impulse took hold, all he could think about was her. He completely forgot about soundproofing, and everything happened as naturally as water flowing into a channel... It wasn't until he woke up the next day that he suddenly remembered the things he had previously ignored.
He has always had amazing self-control since childhood, and this is the first time he has ever been so disrespectful to his parents. So recently he has been making excuses not to go back to the old house.
At this moment, Gu Yuheng could never have imagined that being a smart aleck might feel good for a while, and being a smart aleck all the time would feel good... but it would also lead to a nightmare of trying to win back his wife!
