Chapter 179 My Parents Are Strange

Chu Xinglan was resting in her bedroom when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

It's obvious that her parents came looking for her. Although they sent Mingyin away, they certainly wouldn't come to ask her what happened.

Actually, she didn't know what was going on either.

Ming Yin was originally Gu Ye's maid, how could she be the eldest daughter of the Ming family? And she actually came to try to bribe her to leave Gu Ye, which is ridiculous.

Perhaps she truly loves Gu Ye, but Gu Ye doesn't like her at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken a liking to her after she's been by his side for so long. It's also impossible that Gu Ye would suddenly like her just because she's the eldest daughter of the Ming family. The reason she comes here to swagger around must be because she was humiliated by Gu Ye and is trying to find balance here.

Chu Xinglan thought she could just make up an excuse later, so she opened the door.

Sure enough, Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu were standing at the door.

"Lanlan, we need to talk to you." Mr. and Mrs. Chu entered the room.

Chu Xinglan didn't know what her parents wanted to say to her.

"Lanlan, you should leave Gu Ye. Don't compete with the eldest daughter of the Ming family."

“Yes, listen to what my mother and I said. The Ming family is powerful, and we can’t beat them.” Mr. Chu also coughed lightly, as if to make a show of it.

Mr. and Mrs. Chu's words shocked Chu Xinglan. How could she say such a thing? Were these really the parents she knew?

"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?" I looked at them in disbelief.

"Lanlan, listen to your parents, don't compete with Miss Ming. We can't win against her."

Mrs. Chu coaxed Chu Xinglan in a soft voice.

"Are you really afraid of losing the competition, or do you simply not want me to compete?"

Chu Xinglan carefully examined her somewhat unfamiliar parents; they were completely different from the parents she remembered.

Knowing she was going to marry Gu Ye, why wouldn't they try every means to benefit from it? Would they really let her give up Gu Ye, such a wealthy and eligible bachelor?!

They couldn't have been bribed by Mingyin's 5 million. They are shrewd businessmen and know perfectly well which is more profitable, 5 million or Gu Ye. Even if Mingyin offered a greater temptation than 5 million, it wouldn't be as advantageous as acquiring Gu Ye. They understand this better than anyone else. How could they, who are so meticulous in their calculations, suddenly go against their nature and do something against their own principles?

There must be some reason for this.

Mr. and Mrs. Chu felt a little uneasy under Chu Xinglan's gaze.

Mr. Chu's face darkened. Since the soft approach didn't work, he would have to use the hard one. He spoke in a firm voice, "Do as we say. We raised you as your parents, can't we decide your life's most important matter?"

Chu Xinglan was somewhat amused and exasperated, but he said firmly, "Dad, Mom, my marriage with Gu Ye is a done deal. You know I never care whether you accept or oppose it. Once I've made up my mind, I won't change it."

"You brat, you've gone too far! How dare you talk to us like that?"

Mr. and Mrs. Chu became furious, and Mr. Chu even raised his hand to attack Chu Xinglan.

Just then, a sound came from behind them. Turning around, they saw Gu Ye appear out of nowhere, and he knocked on the door with his fingers bent.

Startled, Mr. Chu quickly withdrew his hand, and he and Mrs. Chu immediately approached Gu Ye with smiles on their faces.

"Gu Ye, what brings you here?"

"I've come to take Lanlan home." Gu Ye didn't look at them, but walked directly to Chu Xinglan, took her hand, and said gently, "Lanlan, let's go home."

Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise Lanlan would have been bullied by these two again.

Because they are Chu Xinglan's parents, Gu Ye can't do anything to them, but he also can't stand by and watch them bully Chu Xinglan like this.

Chu Xinglan glanced at Gu Ye and nodded gently.

"She couldn't stay in this suffocating home for another second."

"It's still early..." Mrs. Chu wanted to say something more, but seeing Gu Ye's cold gaze, she had no choice but to stop talking.

Mr. Chu quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Gu Ye, why didn't you tell us you were coming? Or we could have sent Lanlan over to you."

“Lanlan is someone I cherish, so naturally I had to come and pick her up in person. She’s been here for a while now, so I’m taking her back with me.”

Gu Ye spoke politely but coldly as he led Chu Xinglan away.

Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu looked at each other and became somewhat anxious.

But since Chu Xinglan was with Gu Ye, they couldn't do anything to her and could only watch her leave.

"what happened?"

After Chu Xinglan got into the car, Gu Ye gently touched her cheek and asked softly.

"It's nothing, it's just that my parents seem to be acting a bit strange today." Chu Xinglan frowned slightly. "They actually want me to leave you."

Gu Ye paused for a moment, then asked with a smile, "So what do you mean?"

"How could that be? I know what kind of people my parents are. They're only interested in things that benefit them, but they're acting so strangely today." Chu Xinglan couldn't understand it.

"It's okay, I'll take care of you from now on." Gu Ye affectionately pinched her cheek gently.

Chu Xinglan's face flushed slightly.

"Your maid Xianghe came to see me today," Chu Xinglan said, not wanting to hide it from Gu Ye. "She's actually the eldest daughter of the Ming family."

"Ah, I only found out today too." Gu Ye nodded, already guessing what had happened. "She came to make things difficult for you?"

"It's not exactly difficult, she wants to give us 5 million, and she wants me to leave you." Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye and gave a bitter smile.

"She's even dumber than I thought," Gu Ye said calmly.

“Mingyin is fine, but my parents’ reaction after they found out that Mingyin is the eldest daughter of the Ming family was really bizarre. They even told me not to compete with Mingyin. What am I going to compete with Mingyin for? The only one I’m going to compete with is you. They actually forced me to leave you for Mingyin.”

"What are you doubting?" Gu Ye asked, pulling him close to the car seat.

"I can't quite put my finger on it, it just feels weird." Chu Xinglan shook her head, a strange thought suddenly flashing through her mind, but she immediately dismissed it.

That's absolutely impossible.

"I'll have Xue Bai investigate your parents for you and see if there are any problems," Gu Ye asked for her opinion.

Chu Xinglan shook her head.

"Forget it, I'm leaving that home soon anyway. After all, they are my parents who raised me for twenty years. If I need anything in the future, as long as it's not excessive, I will still repay them with filial piety."

"Since that's the case, don't overthink it." Gu Ye tenderly pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her hair with his hand.

Chu Xinglan nestled happily in his arms.

Gu Ye's eyes turned cold. Although Ming Yin was not a threat, he still did not want her to appear again and disturb Chu Xinglan's life.
