Chapter 9: It Doesn't Matter Who You Marry

enough and will send a better one next time,"Then what are you going to do with thisQiao Ruoxing didn't even know herself.Joe Xusheng didn't trust her. Every time he sent her something, he would disc...Qiao Ruoxing's temple jumped fiercely.

If it weren't for the fact that she needed something from him today, she would have kicked this thing off the car!

Such a good person, why was he born with such a big mouth

Just like he's barking!

Qiao Ruoxing comforted herself and ignored the snarky remark from beside her. She sent the edited text to Lin Shu, instructing him, "You can buy it at the 'Ningxiang' shop on Guohua Road. They have a wide variety of spices and can get everything you need in one go."

"Okay, thank you, Mrs."

Without getting a response from Qiao Xing, Gu Jingyan became somewhat bored and stopped speaking after that.

After about twenty more minutes, we arrived at the agreed-upon restaurant.

When Qiao Ruoxing was about to get off, Gu Jingyan suddenly grabbed her wrist. She instinctively wanted to pull it back.

"

Don't move!

"

Gu Jingyan was incredibly strong, she couldn't pull away at all. Just as she was about to ask him what he was doing, her ring finger suddenly turned cold and a diamond ring slid onto it.

She was stunned.

This is their wedding ring. When they moved out of the Imperial Garden Villa, she left this ring behind as well.

This was his first time putting a wedding ring on her. On the day of their wedding, Yao KeXin appeared, and before the ceremony could end, Gu JingYan left. The wedding ring was put on by herself.

“I’m just afraid Mom will see the message. Don’t overthink it.” Gu Jingyan let go of her hand, his haughty voice interrupting Qiao Ruoxing’s thoughts.

She pursed her lips and withdrew her hand, saying lightly, "Mr. Gu, you're overthinking it. I know my own limitations."

Having said that, he pushed open the car door and got out first.

Gu Jingyan frowned, his face solemn as he followed.

Gu Jingyan has a younger sister named Gu Jingyang. She just graduated from university this year and went on a graduation trip with her classmates two months ago. She only came back yesterday.

Because she was the youngest child at home and her father passed away shortly after she was born, the elders in the family doted on her very much, which also fostered her domineering and arrogant personality.

When she first married into the family, Qiao Ruoxing genuinely wanted to get along with her sister-in-law. She tried various ways to please her and improve their relationship. However, Gu Jingyang didn't seem interested. In front of their elders, she treated Qiao Ruoxing respectfully, but when they were alone, her attitude changed completely.

Over the years, the relationship has not only failed to ease but has become even more rigid. Gu Jingyan's love for Gu Jingyang means that she is destined to be the one who suffers.

Now that I think about it, even without Yao Kexin, she and Gu Jingyan probably wouldn't have lived happily ever after.

From their background to their family and even their values, none of it was right.

Under the guidance of the waiter, they soon arrived at their reserved private room.

As I pushed the door open, Gu Jingyang was talking to Zhong Meilan. The mother and daughter looked quite alike, but Zhong Meilan had a certain elegance that came with age, a noble air about her. Gu Jingyang, on the other hand, still seemed very young.

Gu Jingyang caught a glimpse of Qiao Ruoxing and immediately changed his expression. When he met Gu Jingyan's gaze, he instantly put on a sweet smile and acted coquettishly, "Brother! I'm starving to death. Mom insisted on waiting for you before serving the food. Why are you just now here!"

Gu Jingyan glanced at her, "Just wipe your mouth and it will sound more convincing."

Gu Jingyang...

"Oh, bother! I was out having fun thinking about you and even brought you a gift!"

After a few bickerings between the siblings, Zhong Meilan spoke up to break them apart, “Alright, stop fighting and sit down.”

After saying that, he glanced at Qiao Ruo Xing, "Ruo Xing, tell the waiter at the door to bring out the dishes."

Actually, for this kind of thing, just calling a waiter would have sufficed. But she insisted on getting up, it's simply because she's used to ordering people around.

When she had gatherings at the old house, she always sat on the edge of the group because it was convenient for her to get up and fetch things for everyone.

Qiao Qiao Xing was used to this, turning her head to leave, but her wrist was grabbed by Gu Jing Yan.

Gu Jingyan didn't look at her and said to Gu Jingyang, "Jingyang, you go and tell her. Also, ask the waiter to bring a bottle of red wine."

Gu Jingyang immediately pulled a displeased face, "Sis-in-law, aren't you going anyway"

Gu Jingyan said faintly, "She doesn't know what kind of wine her mother likes."

"Result, Qiao Ruo Xing didn't buy his act, breaking free from his grasp and saying, “I know, it’s expensive wine, Mom”

Zhong Meilan nodded.

Qiao Ruoxing turned to leave, without needing to look back she knew Gu Jingyan was wearing a face that could curdle milk.

After she finished her instructions, as he was about to come in, I heard Gu Jingyang's voice from inside the room, "Brother, don't underestimate your wife. Don't even mention Mom's preferences, even Grandma's preferences, she knows them all too well. She wants to climb into high society so badly, I wonder why Grandma agreed to you marrying her in the first place She's not even as good as Yao Kexin."

Qiao Ruoxing's hand paused on the doorknob, then she heard Gu Jingyan say, "It doesn't matter who I marry." her hands. If they divorced at that time, she was afraid that the company's employees would turn against her. Under the lawyer's persuasion, he gave up this idea.After He Yurou's accident three year...
