Jiang Yu’s piercing gaze locked onto Jin Xue as he released a smoky breath, the air around them thick with tension.

“We’re going back to Beverly Hills for dinner tonight. You can’t be late, let alone absent. I’ll be back to pick you up at five-thirty this afternoon,” he stated with an air of authority.

Jin Xue’s eyes shimmered mischievously as she met his intense gaze. She hesitated for a moment before speaking, her voice filled with curiosity, “Aunt Zhen informed me last night that mother-in-law wishes to meet me today.”

“Then you should honor her request and make a proper introduction.”

Feeling a pang of hunger, Jin Xue declared, “I’m famished. It’s time for breakfast.” Without wasting another moment, she gracefully departed from the smoky study.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yu nonchalantly flicked the ash from his cigarette, taking another drag as he contemplated the unfolding events.

…

Not long after, Jiang Yu drove out.

Gu Zhou called Jin Xue, but she did not answer.

After a while, Jin Xue received a WeChat message from Gu Zhou.

Gu Zhou’s scathing words pierced through the screen, each sentence laden with fury and resentment. His anger radiated through the digital realm, leaving Jin Xue in no doubt about the depth of his rage.

“If you drive me off the edge, you will suffer retribution!”

“Jin Xue, you’ll never find a man who loves you as much as I do. Jiang Yu doesn’t love you at all. You’ll be an abandoned wife of a rich family!”

“Since you’re so heartless, there’s no need for me to be kind to you. Just wait and see!”

The weight of Gu Zhou’s words bore down on Jin Xue, and she could feel the heat of his anger scorching her soul. His accusations cut deep, igniting a tumultuous mix of emotions within her. A surge of defiance swelled within her, compelling her to respond in kind.

With a trembling finger, Jin Xue typed a reply, her words dripping with disdain and frustration.

“Gu Zhou, you’re insane!”

“Stay away from me! Your repulsive voice pollutes my ears!”

Angrily, Gu Zhou sent an emoji filled with malice, intensifying the vitriol of his curses. However, Jin Xue chose to ignore his subsequent messages, determined to shield herself from his toxic presence.

Just as the tension in the digital realm threatened to overwhelm her, a message from her classmates materialized on WeChat, providing a much-needed respite from the turbulent exchange.

Curiosity piqued, Jin Xue opened the message, seeking solace in the diversion it promised.

A classmate who worked at Renhe Hospital with Gu Zhou revealed that not only was Gu Zhou not promoted to an attending physician, but his contract with Renhe Hospital was terminated because he had violated the rules by accepting the pharmaceutical sales representative’s banquet fees. He would never be hired, and it would take effect immediately.

Once this news was released, Gu Zhou basically had no hope of entering a Grade A hospital anymore. He basically could not stay in Shen City anymore. His future was over!

This time, reality really taught him what it meant to be building castles in the air!

He didn’t have the ability, but he wanted to seize Jiang Yu’s assets. He even thought that Jiang Yu was easy to deceive. He was like an egg hitting a rock.

Gu Zhou deserved what happened today!

This scumbag’s retribution came at the right time. Jin Xue felt quite good!

Smiling comfortably, Jin Xue deleted Gu Zhou’s WeChat.

She even blocked Gu Zhou’s number.

…

At two in the afternoon, Jin Xue woke up.

The moment she sat up and stretched lazily, she was inadvertently shocked. She suddenly trembled and her eyes were filled with shock.

There was actually someone sitting in front of her bed, staring at her with sharp eyes. That face was expressionless.

How long had this person been looking at her like this?

Jin Xue blinked and remembered that the woman staring at her was her mother-in-law, Zhang Baochan.

Jin Xue curled her lips into a silly smile to ease her awkwardness. “Mother!”

Zhang Baochan’s voice was cold. “I’ll give you ten minutes. Go downstairs!”

Jin Xue nodded in a daze. “Okay!”

Zhang Baochan did not say another word. She gave Jin Xue a stern look and left the master bedroom haughtily.

In an instant, Jin Xue took a deep breath and gently stroked her chest.

Although this woman was indeed her mother-in-law, Jin Xue immediately rolled her eyes in discomfort when she saw someone else entering the master bedroom without her permission.

Fortunately, the pajamas she was wearing were more conservative. Otherwise, she would be so embarrassed!

Jin Xue had also seen her mother-in-law’s aura.

She was definitely not a good person!

…

Jin Xue went downstairs and saw a few men in the living room. They should be the bodyguards her mother-in-law had brought.

Aunt Zhen stood by the side, not daring to say anything. She just looked at her.
