Chapter 22: CEO Jiang Begat A Good Daughter Who Is A Blessing To Her Husband!

At first, when the Gu family came to propose a marriage, they wanted a daughter of the Jiang family to marry them.

Both of them had a chance!

But knowing that Gu Junzhu was on the brink of death, they tried to shirk their responsibilities in every way possible.

Jiang Siyou reasoned that she was not the Jiang family’s biological daughter so there was no Jiang family blood running in her veins—the Gu family would not agree.

Jiang Lingyu threw a terrible tantrum and declared that if the Jiang family dared to force her to marry over to the Gu family, she would immediately jump from a building and kill herself.

Left with no choice from their theatrics, Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai then went to great pains to search for Ye Xingbei and lied about the Old Master’s ‘impending death’ to deceive Ye Xingbei into returning from abroad.

But what was this situation now?

The rumor that Gu Junzhu was on the brink of death was false!

Gu Junzhu was alive and well!

Out of all the men they had heard of, he was the wealthiest, most capable and possessed the best family background!

Tall and handsome, he possessed splendid future prospects, had an outstanding demeanor and a noble elegance that made it hard for others to look away.

Unfortunately, it was such a nearly flawless man whom they had pushed away with their tantrums.

They even went to that much trouble to push him to Ye Xingbei, whom they hated the most!

How could it be like this?

How could fate torment them like this?

If they knew early on that the rumor about Gu Junzhu dying soon was false, even if they had to fight till they became badly bruised, they would do their utmost best to seize the opportunity to marry Gu Junzhu. How would Ye Xingbei even obtain this chance?

But now, such a great man had been given to Ye Xingbei so easily.

Staring intensely at Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, the regret, wrath and despair within their hearts could no longer be described with words alone.

Ye Xingbei sweetly cuddled into Gu Junzhu’s embrace and walked towards them step by step. She stopped in her tracks in front of their eyes.

The palm that Gu Junzhu had rested on Ye Xingbei’s waist looked undoubtedly gentle. However, when standing on their opposite, the gaze he directed at the Jiang family was cold and aloof, like an emperor looking at everything in disdain.

On his body was the intensity and coercion of a person of a higher pedigree. As nonchalant as his gaze was, people didn’t dare to look straight at him and found it hard to breathe evenly.

As they stood before him, the members of the Jiang family felt inferior involuntarily. They had this urge to pledge their allegiance to him.

Jiang Zhengxing felt that this was incomprehensible.

Although the Jiang family had been going downhill recently and their situation was terrible, he was still the current head of Jiang City’s first-rate aristocratic family in any case.

But it was him, the current head of Jiang City’s first-rate aristocratic family, who felt insignificant as a tiny, powerless individual while standing in front of Gu Junzhu.

That innate sort of elegance and nobility on Gu Junzhu’s figure actually caused him to feel helpless and inferior.

It took him a great deal of effort to stabilize his mind and he barely managed to reveal a loving and concerned smile—like how an elder would look when he saw a beloved junior. “Ah Zhu, you’re here. Today’s weather is pretty good. Has your body gotten much better?

“That’s right, this is all thanks to Bei Bei too,” Gu Junzhu tilted his head to look towards Ye Xingbei. “Ever since I married Bei Bei, my body has been improving day by day. CEO Jiang begat a good daughter who is a blessing to her husband!”

His palm remained intimately looped onto Ye Xingbei’s slender waist as he inclined his head slightly to the side to look at her. His gaze was indulgent and the corner of his lips lifted slightly

The moment they fell on Ye Xingbei’s face, that initially cold and arrogant gaze melted into a pool of spring water—as though the spring breeze had blown away the ice and snow—and filled it with an intoxicating warmth.

As Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu stood beside Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai and watched fixedly, they were so jealous that they were about to go crazy!

They were yelling, shrieking and weeping wildly inside.

This was supposed to be their husband—their man!

If they hadn’t been so desperate about not marrying in the beginning, the person who should have been embraced by this man—who was elegant and honorable as an emperor—and treated specially, should have been them rightfully.
