Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 132 In-laws

The next day, the driver took Mr. and Mrs. An directly to Yuhua Mansion. An Junxi took a day off to help her parents settle in. After getting comfortable, the two elders rested in their new home for an afternoon. That evening, everyone had dinner together at the mansion.

An Junxi planned to arrange the meetings between the families later, given that her parents-in-law were still at odds. She was worried that it might not go well, but Seventh Uncle was in poor health and was going to the United States for treatment soon, so they decided to gather on the same day.

Gu Qianlan had never liked this sister-in-law and did not want to attend the dinner. Seventh Uncle sternly lectured her, saying it was a family obligation that all members must attend without fail to maintain propriety. freewēbnoveℓ.com

It was clear that Seventh Uncle placed great importance on the dinner. Despite not meddling in family affairs for many years, he personally instructed the servants that day, ensuring they wouldn’t neglect the in-laws.

Mr. and Mrs. An had never attended such formal occasions. Maintaining a dignified demeanor, they were calm while sitting in the Gu family’s hall, engaging in a cordial conversation with their in-laws.

Gu Jinxiu liked his grandparents a lot and had much to say with the two elders.

Seventh Uncle sat in the main seat and told them, "You have raised your daughter well. Yi Ke and Jun Xi have now registered their marriage, and the wedding will follow soon without lacking anything. Our Gu family will never let Jun Xi be wronged."

Mr. An said, "I see they are very affectionate. Our greatest wish is that our daughter finds happiness."

Liang Huiyun and Gu Kuangyong sat together with no sign of marital discord. They conversed with the in-laws in a very gentle manner, appearing as the perfect couple.

Watching from the side, An Junxi was genuinely moved, as her mother-in-law concealed her private emotions well to put her parents at ease, diligently hosting the in-laws. To An Junxi, this was the greatest form of love from her in-laws.

Courtesy without arrogance or condescension; perhaps this is the true refinement of a prominent family.

Liang Huiyun specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare Chinese dishes for dinner. The table setting was kept simple to make the in-laws feel comfortable, and the whole process was filled with joy.

Seeing her daughter being loved by her in-laws and having a harmonious relationship with her husband, Jin Xiu also respecting and obeying her, Mr. and Mrs. An felt completely at ease.

That evening, An Junxi and Gu Yikun sent Mr. and Mrs. An back to their home in Yuhua Mansion, where Gu Yikun had arranged for a dedicated driver, making their future outings convenient.

The greenery and public facilities at Yuhua Mansion were perfect. Over the next few days, An Junxi spent time showing her parents around the surroundings, making it a routine to return from work every noon to have lunch at Yuhua Mansion and then return to her in-laws’ home for dinner at night, living an idyllic life.

An Junxi thought the heavens favored her, but life always reminded her at unexpected moments never to let her guard down.

A dimly lit private room in a bar.

A man sat in front of a woman, pulling out an envelope from his coat and pushing it forward. "This contains all the information about Lv Jing. She has been active in various nightclubs recently, meeting several wealthy businessmen. In just a few days, she has obtained a substantial sum of money from these men. The man in black in the photos is Zhang Dong, her connection and a compulsive gambler who recently returned from Las Vegas with a significant gambling debt. Most of the money Lv Jing gets through various means ends up in Zhang Dong’s hands. Furthermore, while tracking Lv Jing, I noticed other private detectives watching her. I couldn’t be too overt and haven’t yet identified their background."

The woman’s face was mostly hidden under a hat, obscured by the dim light. She weighed the thickness of the documents and said, "Lv Jing’s current life is all thanks to An Junxi. Find an opportunity to approach her and ask if she’s interested in getting back at An Junxi. If she is, I can help her."

The man agreed and asked, "Is there anything else, Miss?"

The woman said, "Since others are also watching her, take a few days off first. Under no circumstances should your whereabouts be exposed. You know the rules of this business, so I don’t need to elaborate on the consequences, do I?"

The man’s forehead started to sweat slightly. "Understood."

"Sixty percent of this job’s payment will be transferred to your account shortly. I’ll give you the remaining forty percent at our next meeting. You can go now."

The man got up and left the room. He had an ordinary appearance, blending into the bustling nightlife unnoticed.

As the room’s light turned on, the woman carefully examined the documents in the envelope. Her bright red lips curved into a smile, "An Junxi, do you really think you are Mrs. Gu? Watch and see; you’ll never make it to your wedding day!"

The underground casino, with its bright lights and depraved extravagance, was a completely different world. Here, the most brutal and bloody scenes played out daily. Behind the gamblers’ wild indulgence lay mountains of corpses built from lost lives.

Lv Jing was long used to this. As a child, her father gambled her away as collateral: "She’s still a virgin; she’s worth at least thirty thousand, right?"

The men’s lewd gazes fixed on Lv Jing, starving beasts ready to tear her apart.

That time, she was sold to an old rich man for a ridiculously low price, enduring endless torment. From then on, she learned how to leverage men for money.

Six months later, the old man died under mysterious circumstances, temporarily ending Lv Jing’s suffering. She fell back into her biological father’s hands, facing even longer forthright abuse.

Both she and her sister Lv Mo witnessed the most twisted and perverse human behaviors. Their father died on the street from a drug overdose, finally ending their nightmare, allowing them a new life.

Carrying dirty money, the sisters arrived in Yan City, blending into the academic world, trying to present themselves as clean and ordinary.

Life took a turn when the beautiful Lv Mo coincidentally met the wealthy scion, Gu Yikun. Lv Jing’s life followed suit, gradually aligning with a new path. She thought she could bury her past and start anew, only to find herself back in the nightclubs years later in disgrace.

Lv Jing could not quell her anger. Why could some people receive Heaven’s favor effortlessly while she had to struggle to survive?

She no longer wished to return to the light, only to drag those she hated into hell with her, to suffer and die in the most excruciating way possible, bringing her a sense of relief.

In the noisy, murky room, Zhang Dongxian cheerfully toasted and offered a cigarette to a man. Pointing to Lv Jing, he said, "Boss Li, this is Lv Jing. She has no parents and no family. If you grant her a chance, she will undoubtedly be loyal and follow your orders without question."

After speaking, he turned to Lv Jing and said, "Aren’t you going to greet Boss Li?"
