Gu Zhenglin's smile stiffened, and his face immediately became ugly.

”Today is your day to go back to the door, why are you saying this?” ”When the time comes, you will naturally know. Don't worry, your mother is very well.” The intention to shirk was obvious.

When, exactly, he would not have thought to tell her where her mother was. But if he didn't say anything, she couldn't do anything about it.

Just as Gu Xiaoyue was unable to release the hatred in her heart, the magnetic voice sounded from behind him.

”Could the Gu family have some sort of secret? This son-in-law of mine won't even be able to see mother-in-law's face on the day he returns to his family? ”

With that sentence, Gu Zhenglin who was choked with sobs couldn't back down anymore. His face flushed red and he stuttered for a long time, unable to find a suitable excuse.

He didn't think that Ling Rufeng would stand up for Gu Xiaoyue; even Gu Xiaoyue herself didn't think of this.

Ling Rufeng was not a foolish person, he would definitely be able to see the intention behind her actions, but he would still choose to cooperate and believe in her.

Warmth flowed through the two of them as they held hands. For a moment, it was as if her heart was a pool of water that had been wrinkled by the wind. Waves upon waves of ripples appeared in her heart.

Calming his emotions, Gu Zhenglin raised his eyes to size up this legendary successor of Ling's. Surprisingly, the latter calmly looked back at him, his gaze as calm as the abyss.

Gu Zhenglin felt chills down his spine as he was stared at by those empty eyes, and what Ling Rufeng said next almost made him collapse on the spot.

”My son-in-law comes to visit but cannot meet mother-in-law. I've already learned the Gu family's rules today. Since that's the case, it's best if this marriage is annulled.”

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the Gu family members fluctuated. They only knew that Young Master Ling Family was a sickly person, but they had never known that the other party was actually quite a capable person.

After a moment of silence, Gu Zhenglin could no longer hold back Ling Rufeng's dark gaze and told him where his mother was.

Before he finished speaking, Gu Xiaoyue's eyes were filled with tears. With difficulty, he controlled his emotions and tightened his grip on Ling Rufeng's hand.

”Thank you.”

Rubbing her hair, Ling Rufeng's gaze became softer. This was extremely eye-catching in Gu Zhenglin's eyes as he pulled Gu Xiaoyue's hand and pulled her vigorously inside the house.

”Xiaoyue, come back home today. Let's have a meal together.” Gu Zhenglin hid the viciousness in his eyes.

She quickly turned her head to look at Ling Rufeng for help. She had gotten the address with great difficulty, so she couldn't wait to find her mother.

Ling Rufeng looked at the red skin under Gu Zhenglin's hands, squinted his eyes and quickly grabbed onto Gu Xiaoyue's other hand.

”Father-in-law, Xiaoyue's skin is tender.”

It was a warning, and it instantly stopped Gu Zhenglin in his tracks.

He turned his head and smiled, looking at Gu Xiaoyue's red skin affectionately, he said with a pained heart: ”Daddy was so happy to see you go back to my house, did I hurt your hand?”

As expected of the old fox who had been hanging around in the mall for many years.

Gu Xiaoyue quickly retracted her hand and said without mercy, ”It does hurt.”

The smile on Gu Zhenglin's face stiffened, and he almost could not retract the viciousness in his eyes.

Since she didn't give him face, he decided to change his target.

Then, he dragged Ling Rufeng back into the house: ”Windy, since you're here, stay a while longer before leaving.”

The Gu's has a project that we need more partners in. Let me tell you something.

After he finished speaking, Gu Zhenglin directly bypassed Gu Xiaoyue, and practically supported him up as he brought him towards the guest hall.

What she found hard to imagine was that the person actually followed Gu Zhenglin in.
