“Silly child, you’re lying to me!” Zhong Yuhong reprimanded her, but her heart ached for her. “I saw that little rascal when I was shopping this afternoon. He was accompanied by a vixen who was swiping his card! I was so angry that I almost rushed up to slap him!”

“… Uh.” Gao Xiaoxiao broke out in cold sweat. Her mother-in-law, Zhong Yuhong, was already 55 years old this year, but she was direct and impulsive like a little girl sometimes. It really worried her. “Mom, are you alright?”

“What could happen to me?” Zhong Yuhong sighed. “Little Xiaoxiao, it has been hard on you all these years. Actually, when Old Master asked both of you to get married back then, I also had my own selfish motives. I thought that you could rein Ah Zhen in and make him mend his ways. But now, three years have passed and I’ve accepted that that is not going to happen.”

Gao Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose. She had a bad feeling. “Mom, what do you mean?”

“I’ve thought it through!” Zhong Yuhong slapped her thigh and said bitterly, “Tonight, I will make a decision for you and force the rascal to make a choice. Let’s see if he wants to continue drinking outside or he wants to live a good life with you!”

“… Huh?” Gao Xiaoxiao was stunned.

She wondered if her mother-in-law was asking them to divorce.

“No!” Gao Xiaoxiao shouted inwardly.

She knew she could not find another tycoon like Han Zhen. Not only had he been generous with her for the past three years, but with the huge sum of money he gave her every month, she could support herself and Gao Xiaobai.

So she was determined not to divorce him!

It was 9:00 pm in the Han family mansion in the Ruiyuan region.

Gao Xiaoxiao got out of the taxi and took out a mirror to look at herself.

She was wearing black-framed glasses and had no makeup on her pale face. She wore a simple T-shirt and jeans… At a glance, she looked plain and uninteresting. However, she also looked like the kind of daughter-in-law that the elders favored.

As she pushed open the door of the villa, Auntie Lian exclaimed, “Young Madam is back!” Her loud voice instantly resounded throughout the entire villa.

Gao Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly at her. As she lowered her head to change her shoes, Old Madam Han’s voice sounded in the living room. “Xiaoxiao is here!”

“Grandma.” Gao Xiaoxiao walked over quickly and called out sweetly to the old lady sitting on the sofa.

Old Madam Han had white hair, a ruddy face, and an elegant and dignified aura. When she saw Gao Xiaoxiao, she kept waving to her. “Come quickly, let me take a good look at my precious granddaughter-in-law.”

When Gao Xiaoxiao sat down beside her, Old Madam Han held her little hand and looked at her granddaughter-in-law carefully from head to toe. She had not seen her for a week. Her eyes were smiling, and she kept saying, “I’ll definitely teach Ah Zhen a lesson later. Why did you get assigned so much work? You didn’t even have time to visit me.”

A sweet smile hung on Gao Xiaoxiao’s face. “Grandma, I was wrong! I’ll definitely find time to visit you often in the future. It’s not Ah Zhen’s fault.”

“Look, I am serious about my work and understanding of my husband.” Gao Xiaoxiao was impressed with her own acting skills.

The old madam smiled in relief. She thought about the serious matter tonight and her face darkened again. “Little Xiaoxiao, grandma can’t bear to let you go, but… even more so, grandma can’t bear to let you suffer! Yuhong is right. You deserve a better man to dote on you. Blame it on our Ah Zhen. He’s not lucky enough to have you.”

“Who’s not lucky?” A man’s voice asked casually.

Gao Xiaoxiao looked back.

At the entrance, a man was standing against the yellow light cast by the ceiling lamp. Dressed in a tailored black suit, he looked extraordinary. His handsome features were well-defined, and he had a wicked smile on his face. He was a rakishly handsome man!

When he saw the surprise in Gao Xiaoxiao’s eyes, the smile in Han Zhen’s eyes deepened. He walked with long strides into the living room and loosened his tie slowly. His thin lips curled up as he said, “Wife, why didn’t you ask your husband to come along?”

Gao Xiaoxiao blushed and looked away. She blinked and regained her composure.

“Rascal!” Old Madam Han stood up and pointed her crutch at him. “Where did you go to fool around again! Speak!”

Han Zhen held her crutch. “Grandma, I was working in the office all day today. If you don’t believe me, ask Xiaoxiao.”

Then he raised his chin and signaled to Gao Xiaoxiao.

Gao Xiaoxiao received his hint but remained expressionless. Then she lowered her head.

Han Zhen paused.

“What about after work?” Old Madam Han was unmoved and her dignified face was full of suspicion and anger.

Her grandson had always attracted girls since he was in kindergarten. He was popular with girls during schooldays, and after he joined Han Tai Corporation, things got out of hand. Every two or three days, there would be scandalous news, and he would show up at public events with a different female companion each time.

She had thought that marriage would help him settle down and that she could have a great-grandchild soon. She did not expect that after three years, her granddaughter-in-law was not showing any signs of pregnancy. How could she not be angry!
