The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 141 Meeting Parents

"Auntie, Aze and I are truly in love!" Chu Xinglan said, her voice trembling with tears.

Her performance should be fine, right? The senior asked her to come so that her parents wouldn't want to set her up on a blind date. Of course, she should act as if she and Xiao Ze are deeply in love.

"Not enough? I'll give you another two million!" Mrs. Xiao looked at Chu Xinglan with disdain. In her eyes, Chu Xinglan was a gold digger who dreamed of climbing the social ladder. She felt disgusted just talking to such a woman, let alone giving her a second glance.

"Aunt……"

Before Chu Xinglan could speak, Mrs. Xiao waved her hand impatiently.

"I've seen plenty of women like you who dream of climbing the social ladder. This two million is an astronomical sum for you. I advise you not to be so ungrateful as to think that seducing my son will get you into the Xiao family. Stop dreaming and get out of here with the money."

Mrs. Xiao was too lazy to argue with Chu Xinglan anymore.

"Does Auntie think that Aze is only worth a mere two million?" Chu Xinglan sighed.

"What are you saying?" Mrs. Xiao's expression turned angry, completely losing the composure expected of a lady of high society. "So you really are here for the money of our Xiao family. Even if Xiao Ze likes you, I will not let a vain woman like you into our Xiao family."

"Aze is handsome and rich, which girl wouldn't like him? It's a good thing you gave birth to such a handsome son, otherwise, if someone were willing to enter your Xiao family, they would probably only be after your family's money."

Chu Xinglan smiled.

Fortunately, Gu Ye doesn't need to worry about a difficult mother-in-law. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a problem. A mother-in-law like Mrs. Xiao would definitely bully her to death unless she had an equally capable daughter-in-law. Thinking of this, Chu Xinglan couldn't help but worry about Xiao Ze's future wife.

Chu Xinglan was simply stating the facts, but Mrs. Xiao interpreted it as a provocation.

"What a shameless vixen! She hasn't even entered the Xiao family yet, and she's already provoking me, the matriarch of the family!" Mrs. Xiao was furious and raised her hand to slap Chu Xinglan.

Chu Xinglan hadn't expected Mrs. Xiao to be so angry. Seeing the slap coming at her, she instinctively flinched.

But the expected slap did not fall. She looked closely and saw that Xiao Ze had stopped Mrs. Xiao's falling hand.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Xiao Ze knew his mother would make things difficult for Chu Xinglan, but he didn't expect her to be so ruthless as to attack Chu Xinglan.

Chu Xinglan quickly hid behind Xiao Ze.

"Aze, I don't know what I said that made Auntie so angry."

Xiao Ze looked at Chu Xinglan, who was in a playful mood, and felt a bit overwhelmed. He really wanted to introduce her to his parents, but she just treated it as a joke. She had offended his mother like this. How were they supposed to get along in the future?

"Aze, I'm telling you right now, do you want this woman or your mother? It's either her or me, it's either her or me!" Mrs. Xiao glared fiercely at Chu Xinglan and made these harsh words.

Chu Xinglan looked up at Xiao Ze. She hadn't expected things to escalate to such a serious point. She had only come to play along with Xiao Ze; it would be too heartless of her to let the mother and son have a falling out.

"Auntie, please don't be angry. It's all my fault for not being good enough. I'm not good enough for Aze. I'll break up with Xiao Ze right now."

Xiao Ze stared at Chu Xinglan with wide eyes, as if asking: What are you talking about?

“Senior, your mom doesn’t approve of you finding girls outside. If you force them into your family, the only one who will suffer is the girl you find. Besides, you and I are just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend. So I think you should meet your blind date. If you really don’t like her, then find a girl that your mom likes and that you also like. It’s better than what you are doing now.”

Chu Xinglan spoke softly to Xiao Ze.

Mrs. Xiao, who was standing to the side, was even more furious when she saw Chu Xinglan exchanging glances with Xiao Ze right in front of her.

"Aze, tell your mother, do you want this shameless woman or me, the mother who carried you for ten months and raised you with great difficulty?" Mrs. Xiao seemed to want to regain the feeling of being valued from her son, and kept pressing Xiao Ze for answers.

Just then, the maid came over and said, "Madam, Mr. and Mrs. Chu have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's expression instantly relaxed.

"Let them in quickly."

It was clear that Mrs. Xiao was very enthusiastic towards Mr. and Mrs. Chu, but Xiao Ze frowned slightly after hearing their names.

"Mom, I've taken Xinglan upstairs."

Mrs. Xiao glanced coldly at Chu Xinglan. Although she disliked her, she had more important guests to attend to and had no time to worry about getting rid of Chu Xinglan.

Xiao Ze led Chu Xinglan upstairs.

Chu Xinglan wondered, were the Mr. and Mrs. Chu mentioned by the maid her parents? Or were they someone else with the surname Chu?

It can't be such a coincidence that her parents happen to know Xiao Ze's parents, can it?

Because she was thinking about these things, Chu Xinglan slowed down considerably until a familiar voice came from downstairs.

"Mu Qing, it's been a long time."

Mu Qing is Mrs. Xiao's name, and the woman who walked over with her husband, dressed in luxurious clothes, is Mrs. Xiao's childhood best friend, Mrs. Chu.

"Mom? Dad?" The first person Chu Xinglan saw was Mrs. Chu, and then she saw Mr. Chu, who was coming in with Mr. Xiao.

Hearing someone calling, Mr. and Mrs. Chu both looked up at the building. At that moment, Chu Xinglan was so frightened that she quickly hid away.

Mrs. Xiao glared unhappily at the woman upstairs. That woman was shameless. They didn't even acknowledge her as the Xiao family's daughter-in-law, yet she was already brazenly calling them Mom and Dad.

"What's going on? Who's upstairs?"

Mrs. Chu asked curiously.

"Don't even mention it. I don't know where that vixen came from, hooking up with my Aze, trying to climb the social ladder." Mrs. Xiao said with a look of disdain.

Mrs. Chu understood perfectly. After all, it was a wealthy family, and who wouldn't want to marry into it? It was normal for these young masters to have one or two women outside, but that was just for fun. Wealthy families had their unwritten rules: no matter how many women they played around with outside, the matriarch they married must also come from a wealthy family.

"No matter what, our Xiao family's daughter-in-law will never be a woman of dubious origin or lowly status," Mrs. Xiao immediately stated her position.

Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu looked at each other without saying a word.

Xiao Ze didn't know what Chu Xinglan was afraid of, and why she suddenly hid. So he asked curiously, "Xinglan, what's wrong?"

“Those are my dad and my mom,” Chu Xinglan answered softly.

Since moving out, she has been hiding from her parents. She never expected to run into the Xiao family today. If they find her, they will definitely try their best to bring her back.
