n his chest subside a bit.Enough.He wasn't unaware of this little woman's intentions. Marrying him was, after all, for her mother's illness.She has no feelings for him now, it doesn't matter.Since eve...Su Ke Xin hadn't even had time to react when she suddenly heard a gasp. She raised her head and saw Jiang Ling running towards her in a panic.

Jiang Ling is her father's wife and Lin Xiaoru's mother, but not her own.

Her mother is still in the hospital, barely clinging to life with medication.

Jiang Ling quickly helped Lin Xiaoru up from the ground. Gu Yichen also came over, looking at her disheveled appearance and slightly red eyes, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Su KeXin, what are you doing!"

Unlike Lin Xiaoru's gentleness, Su Kexin, though covered in spilled red wine, still had a defiant look on her face. "She kept talking to me provocatively, and I accidentally pushed her. I'm sorry."

"Accidentally" Jiang Ling's voice suddenly rose, glaring angrily at Su Ke Xin, "What do you mean accidentally! I think you did it on purpose! You're jealous that our Xiao Ru can marry into a good family, so you want to harm her before the wedding! How could you be so cruel, sister!"

"Auntie Jiang, you're overthinking it. Why would I be jealous of Lin Xiaoru"

“You’ve been jealous of Xiaoru since you were little, don’t think I don’t know!” Jiang Ling’s voice grew even sharper. “Even after making a mistake, you refuse to admit it! What kind of mother gives birth to such a daughter You and your shameless vixen of a mother, both of you are despicable!”

Su Keqin was finally furious.

"Ginger Ling!" Her voice was icy cold. "I warn you, if you say anything about me again, I'll let bygones be bygones because you're older than me, but if you dare to speak ill of my mother, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Su Ke Xin's eyes were bloodshot, scaring Jiang Ling into silence. She quickly looked to Lin Hai Sheng for help.

Lin Haisheng's face was also very bad at this time, glaring at Su Kexin and angrily rebuking: "Su Kexin! How do you speak like that, apologize quickly!"

Su Ke Xin trembled with anger, just about to say something, when Gu Yi Han, beside her, suddenly opened his mouth coldly.

"Mr. Gu, you should also discipline your own household matters properly. Just a bastard daughter dares to yell at the legitimate wife, is there any decorum"

Su Ke Xin's body trembled, she looked at Gu Yihan in disbelief.

Gu Yihan also looked at her, but his eyes were full of disdain.

He thought Su Kexin and her mistress's mother were different, but he didn't expect them to be the same kind of person at all!

To say such cutting words at this time, it's more like expressing anger at one's own blindness and stupidity back then, rather than helping Lin Xiaoru vent.

Hearing Gu Yichan say such things about Su Keqin for her, Lin Xiaoru was first surprised, but soon she showed an expression of touching and pride, "Ah Han..."

While Lin Haisheng, despite being an elder, his status in the family was undeniable. He still received a stern look from Gu Yichen and his face paled slightly as he mumbled, "I apologize, Young Master Gu, for making you laugh."

"Dad! What do you mean by this! Didn't you know what was going on Everyone else might not, but surely you do! Mom clearly—"

Before Su Ke Xin could finish her words, Lin Haisheng glared at her angrily and shouted, "Su Ke Xin! Shut your mouth! Remember this, you are Su, not Lin! So don't act arrogantly in our Lin family!"

Your surname is Su, not Lin.

Lin Haisheng's words, like a sharp blade, pierced Su Keqin's heart mercilessly.

In an instant, the words of defense that were about to leave my lips turned into nothing.

She suddenly felt very bored, she didn't find anything interesting at all.

Seeing the three people before her defensively staring at her, Su Ke Xin let out a sarcastic smile.

They are a true family, loving and supportive of each other.

And she, nothing more than an outsider, a complete stranger.

Why is she putting herself through this

"I'm sorry," she said quietly, "if I've offended you, I won't stay here and be a bother."

After speaking, she no longer looked at the three people in front of her, only walking out of the wine cellar.

As she brushed past Lin Xiaoru, her steps faltered. She turned her head and caught sight of the triumphant expression on Lin Xiaoru's face.

She smiled faintly.

"Little sister," she spoke, rarely calling Lin Xiaoru by that term, "I wish you and Mr. Gu a happy wedding and a century of togetherness."

After saying that, she turned and walked away without looking back.

As she walked out of the Lin family villa, she realized it was pitch black.

Just like Gu Chi's villa, Lin's villa was located in an area where there were no taxis or bus stops within a few miles. Su Kexin was about to open a ride-hailing app when her phone suddenly rang.

Upon seeing that it was Gu Chi calling, Su KeXin was taken aback and quickly answered.

"Hello."

"Hey, it's me," Gu Zhi's low and pleasant voice echoed through the phone, "Are you having dinner at your father's house"

For some reason, hearing Gu Chi's voice at this moment, Su Ke Xin almost wanted to cry.I really don't know how to begin.""You don't know how to open your mouth What kind of joke are you making, you scoundrel Who are you afraid of"Lin Momo rolled her eyes and, following Gu Yichen's movem...
