Immortal Emperor's Life As A Son-in-law

When the new official took office, he did not have the same high-spirited manner as others. The current Chu Huaiyu was only full of exhaustion.    

    

In just one afternoon, she could clearly feel the severe situation of Chu's.    

    

The police investigation had not ended yet, but the company's funds had long been cut off.    

    

Not only that, the collaborators had collectively boycotted, causing the company's production and sales to also be stuck in the quagmire.    

    

After sitting in the office for two hours, Xiao Chen saw Chu Huaiyu dialing dozens of numbers.    

    

And her face also became darker and darker as she hung up the call time and time again.    

    

When the night fell, the two of them left the company together. Sitting in the car, Chu Huaiyu's tightly furrowed brows did not loosen.    

    

"Don't worry, but it's just a small problem. I believe you can solve it." Xiao Chen said in a low voice.    

    

It was supposed to be comforting words, but now Chu Huaiyu heard it with sarcasm.    

    

She turned her head and glared at Xiao Chen, but Chu Huaiyu did not say anything. She did not expect Xiao Chen to be able to help her.    

    

It was not until she drove the car back to the villa that Chu Huaiyu said the first thing, "It has been so long. You should fulfill your duty as a driver. Tomorrow, you will follow me. I will personally go and discuss with those partners."    

    

As soon as she finished speaking, the door suddenly opened.    

    

Lau Ruman came out wearing an apron and when she saw them, she immediately put on a smile.    

    

"Are you tired? Go take a shower first to relieve your tiredness. Dinner will be ready soon." As he spoke, he even intimately pulled her into the room.    

    

At the same time, the scent of rice also came from the kitchen.    

    

Sweeping a glance at the kitchen and then looking at Lau Ruman's kind and gentle face, Chu Huaiyu's eyes flashed.    

    

She opened her mouth but in the end did not say anything and carried her bag upstairs.    

    

In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the living room.    

    

Xiao Chen, on the other hand, had an ordinary expression. He found a sofa and lazily leaned on it.    

    

Lau Ruman, on the other hand, would occasionally glance at Xiao Chen. Even though she tried to hide her embarrassment, she could not hide it.    

    

After a while, she boiled a pot of hot water and took a tea set for Xiao Chen to have a cup of tea.    

    

"Are you tired too? ___ asked. Well, I, I..."    

    

"The past is the past." Xiao Chen said lightly and took a sip of the tea.    

    

Lau Ruman's eyes suddenly relaxed when she heard him. However, the nervousness on her face did not disappear.    

    

She turned her head to glance upstairs and said in a low voice, "Your marriage with Huaiyu, the old man has decided to personally host it. He also asked me to ask you if you have any other requests regarding the wedding."    

    

It was fine if he did not say it, but once he said it, Xiao Chen's face immediately darkened.    

    

"Up until now, he hasn't learned his lesson!" With a cold snort, Xiao Chen said with a cold face, "Go back and tell him that Huaiyu is not a tool of Chu family. No one can dream of arranging her life!"    

    

"I, I know!" Feeling ashamed, Lau Ruman pursed her lips and nodded quietly.    

    

"No one needs to interfere in the matters between us."    

    

After saying that, Xiao Chen turned around and went back to his room. He took a shower and came out, but dinner was already on the table.    

    

Chu Huaiyu was still wiping her hair when she saw him come out. She wanted to greet him, but unexpectedly, her mother greeted him first.    

    

Seeing him take the rice bowl from her mother and then look at the empty table in front of her, Chu Huaiyu's eyes could not help but flash.    

    

"What is it?" Xiao Chen also noticed her gaze and asked with a smile.    

    

"Nothing!" Chu Huaiyu curled the corner of her mouth and snorted lightly.    

    

That pair of strange eyes, after leaving Xiao Chen, fell on Lau Ruman from beginning to end.    

    

She did not forget how her mother treated Xiao Chen previously.    

    

Therefore, the sudden closeness of her mother to Xiao Chen made her very uncomfortable.    

    

When she thought about how the Chu family mysteriously mentioned her wedding with Xiao Chen, the suspicion in her heart became heavier and heavier.    

    

Xiao Chen didn't feel anything was wrong. He should eat and sleep as usual after eating.    

    

However, there were some people who were not in a good mood like him.    

    

For example, Chu Yuntao, who was still counting.    

    

At this moment, he was squatting in the corner, looking up at the dim moonlight shining down from the skylight. He hugged his knees with a dispirited look on his face.    

    

On the other side, Lin Yin was holding a tablet and looking at the anonymous email on it. Her face was gloomy like a drop of water.    

    

With a clank, the tablet fell to the ground. The secretary beside her was scared and did not want to be cheated.    

    

"Xiao Chen!" Clenching her fists tightly, Lin Yin gritted her teeth and spat out that name. She wished she could swallow Xiao Chen whole.    

    

Other than them, Gu Muwan also did not have any sleepiness.    

    

Lying on the bed, hugging a pillow, her fingers caressed the bracelet on her wrist. She pursed her lips and it was unknown what she was thinking.    

    

"Dong Dong Dong."    

    

It was a sudden knock on the door that alarmed her. She looked up at the door, put on her slippers, and opened the door.    

    

Her mother, Yi Jie, was standing at the door. She looked up at her face and walked into the room.    

    

"I heard that you and your cousin had a little conflict today?" She pulled a chair and sat down. Yi Jie asked casually.    

    

"Uncle only has one daughter. Where did cousin come from?" Gu Muwan pouted and muttered softly.    

    

Hearing this, Yi Jie's expression immediately became stern and reproached, "For so many years, Yi Hui has been taking care of you everywhere. How can you say such things!"    

    

"I am not a child. Who needs him to take care of me!" Gu Muwan pursed her lips and said discontentedly.    

    

Yi Hui said that he was cousin, but in fact, he was just a distant relative of Gu Muwan's mother's family.    

    

Ever since she was sensible, that guy had always been by her side. She could not shake him off like a follower.    

    

Originally, Yi Hui had been sent to a foreign company by her father over the past two years. It was not easy for her to have peace and quiet.    

    

But who would have thought that at this critical juncture of her birthday, that fellow would be transferred back.    

    

These two days, that fellow was just like in the past, circling around her like a fly. It was so noisy that it gave her a headache.    

    

She originally thought that her mother was going to scold her, but when she heard it, Yi Jie nodded thoughtfully.    

    

"Indeed, you are already 24 years old. You are no longer that little girl from before."    

    

"Of course. I can take care of myself." Gu Muwan smiled and immediately puffed out her chest.    

    

"Other people's children are already married at this age. I watched Hui'er grow up. You guys have known each other since young. I am also relieved to give you to him." Yi Jie minded her own business and said.    

    

The smile on Gu Muwan's face suddenly froze as she looked at her mother in disbelief.    

    

"Mom, what, what do you mean?"    

    

"In these two days, I will discuss your marriage with your uncle. For now, don't go out and run around. "    

    

Yi Jie said and did not care about Gu Muwan's expression. She shook her head and left the bedroom.    

    

Only Gu Muwan was left standing there with her mouth wide open in shock.    

    

When she came back to her senses and chased to her mother's bedroom, the door was already locked. No matter how she knocked, no one paid attention.
