The doors to the mansion were opened. Chu Wuyou was stunned for a few seconds when she obtained a full view of the interior of the building.

Simultaneously, everyone in the main hall also shifted their attention toward her.

Only the immediate family members were present in the main hall. It was evident that they were waiting for their arrival and Ye Lanchen restrained his urge to check his phone.

However, Chu Wuyou failed to catch a glimpse of Ye Bowen. Although she knew the latter rarely left his room anymore because of his disability, she thought he would at least show up to an important gathering like this one.

She was certain she would meet Ye Bowen tonight.

Elder Chu who was seated in the middle of the main hall appeared visibly surprised when he first noticed Chu Wuyou and an astonishment washed over his face. His eyes were filled with evident fury when he shifted his attention toward Ye Lanchen later.

Indeed, Elder Chu was the one that pressured Ye Lanchen to get married, but he thought the latter would not choose someone too terrible due to his hypercritical behavior.

It was completely out of Elder Chus expectation that Ye Lanchen would marry someone with her looks. She had neither a beautiful face nor a graceful carriage. Either Ye Lanchen was blind or deliberately planned to anger his grandfather.

Elder Chu reckoned it was probably the latter.

Ah, turns out Young Master Ye is married to First Young Lady Chu. Jin Mingzhen recognized that woman at first glance and she smiled sardonically with her eyes. After all, she spent most of her free time reading up on the latest gossip.

Naturally, she witnessed the change of color on the Elders face. She was hoping to enrage the old man and make matters worse.

First Young Lady Chu? What about First Young Lady Chu? Elder Chu normally treated Jin Mingzhen with indifference but right now he had a burning desire to know who the hell First Young Lady Chu was.

That name did not ring a bell.

Um Shes the one that Jin Mingzhen shifted her glance over at Chu Wuyou. She opened her mouth to speak but hesitated on second thought.

Unquestionably, it was all a deliberate act.

Elder Chu was evidently dissatisfied about Chu Wuyous appearance. Based on Jin Mingzhens understanding of Elder Chus short temper, the old man would no doubt hit the roof if she revealed Chu Wuyous interesting past.

She could hardly wait for that to happen.

Ah, shes that infamous fool from five years ago! I heard that she only accumulated about forty or fifty points in Gaokao, Ye Lanzhang exclaimed in surprise all of the sudden. He seemed to know a lot about Chu Wuyou seeing as he was even familiar with her Gaokaos results.

His timing could not be more perfect.

Granny Chu managed to restrain her emotions when she first saw Chu Wuyou. In this instant, however, her face fell visibly upon hearing Ye Lanzhangs words.

Elder Chus face also darkened within a matter of seconds.

Well, she was supposed to marry He Yufei five years ago as a means to unite both families, but He Yufei broke off the engagement and dumped her right there at the engagement party. That incident made her the laughing stock of the whole city. Apparently, she also passed out on the spot, probably triggered by her mental illness. She was then sent abroad to recuperate. It appeared that nosy Ye Lanzhang knew a lot about her background.

Granny Chu exhaled deeply as she regarded Chu Wuyou again. Emotions chased over her features in quick succession.

Simultaneously, Elder Chus face grew overcast and troubled.

So? Are you fully recovered now? Ye Lanzhang looked right into Chu Wuyous eyes as he posed the question. It was evident that he was trying to embarrass the woman.

Of course, he desired more to make the situation awkward for Ye Lanchen. The latter had always been superior to him in every way but he had unexpectedly married a woman like that. There was no doubt that Ye Lanzhang would seize this opportunity to mock his brother in the face!!
