My Sweet and Charming Wife

C168 – As Long as You Live up to Your Expectations

Now, hearing her mother-in-law say that, her heart turned cold. No matter how well she had treated her before, it would surely not improve now. With a stern expression, she said, “Mom, if that’s the case, then be prepared for your son to no longer acknowledge you as his mother.”

After Gu Yuehuan finished speaking, she turned and left, her demeanor firm and icy. Zhao Yun was so enraged that her heart nearly gave out. She was furious but had no outlet for her anger, struggling to catch her breath. Just as she was about to faint, Lin Chuchu caught her.

Lin Chuchu held her and said, “Auntie, calm down. I never expected that venomous woman to say such ruthless things. Isn’t this clearly making your son disown you? That woman is truly despicable!”

When Zhao Yun saw her appear again, she was a bit confused, “Why are you here?”

Lin Chuchu supported her to the side and helped her sit on a long bench. She patted her back and soothed her, “I was worried. Knowing that you both were going to the hospital for a check-up today, I feared she might try something. That’s why I followed you. Just as I reached the door, I overheard your conversation. That woman is too cruel. So, what about the plan Auntie mentioned earlier? Just knock Qingyue out and leave the rest to me. When he wakes up next to me the next day, he’ll have to take responsibility. Once I’m pregnant, everything will fall into place.”

Zhao Yun, previously hesitant, was now so infuriated that she felt powerless. Realizing that this woman wouldn’t spare her son, she decided to heed Lin Chuchu’s advice.

With determination, she gritted her teeth and agreed, “Alright! Chuchu, Auntie will follow your plan. Leave it to me! As long as you seize this chance and secure your future with him, you will be my future daughter-in-law. This must not go wrong.”

Gu Yuehuan had been away for a week. During this time, she hadn’t opened her shop. Unsure if her customers would assume she had closed down, she hurried to reopen her shop after leaving the hospital.

In this line of work, absence could mean losing the shop, but she had paid in advance, so it wouldn’t be sold to others. She had a good relationship with the neighboring boss, who had spoken up for her customers and assured them she had only been away for a few days and returned today.

Gu Yuehuan often treated the neighboring boss to meals, so in return, the boss had helped by passing along the message that she was away for a few days. Upon her return, she immediately got to work.

It was time for her to get off work, but with no competition, customers who had been waiting for a while swarmed over as soon as they saw her return. Business was surprisingly brisk.

She couldn’t manage it all on her own. Previously, she had said the workers she hired couldn’t get pregnant because of her own inability to conceive.

She had been delayed and now couldn’t hire anyone, so she was extremely busy.

With more and more customers arriving, Jiaang Yan came over to help greet the guests. She hadn’t agreed to let him come, but he showed up anyway.

Seeing him assist with the guests, she felt he was intrusive and wanted to chase him away. But with so much to handle, she couldn’t stop him.

Jiaang Yan had been waiting for her these past few days. He realized he wanted to try his luck with her, something he hadn’t considered before. When he saw her return, he jumped in to help tidy the tables and greet the guests.
