Inside the room, Gu Jiaojiao watched Leng Yuan and Leng Shuyue. Although she couldn't tell what they were talking about, she could sense that her husband wasn't happy.
Gu Jiaojiao ignored Mrs. Chen's instructions, getting up and walking out of the room.
Chen Ruoyu froze for a moment before hurrying after her.
Meanwhile, Leng Shuyue was still lecturing Leng Yuan.
"You boy, how can you be so stubborn? Why can't you understand that I'm doing this for your own good!"
"It was the same with the house back then, and it's the same with your marriage now."
"Why didn't you tell me you were getting married? Do you even know what kind of person you've married?"
Leng Yuan's mind was reeling because of his uncle, so he hadn't been listening to a word Leng Shuyue was saying. But at the mention of Gu Jiaojiao, he snapped back to reality, his tone thick with warning.
"Aunt, you—"
Before he could finish, a small, delicate hand took his.
Gu Jiaojiao knew Leng Yuan was about to defend her.
