Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Originally, the Gu Family came to propose marriage, seeking a daughter from the Jiang Family as their bride.

Both of them had the chance!

But when they heard that Gu Junzhu was nearing death, they dodged at every chance they got.

Jiang Siyou said she wasn’t a biological daughter of the Jiang family, that her veins didn’t carry Jiang family blood, and the Gu Family wouldn’t agree.

Jiang Lingyu resorted to crying, yelling, and threatening to hang herself, vowing to jump off a building and end her own life if the Jiang family dared marry her off there.

Unable to cope with their dramatic frenzy, Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai went to great lengths to find Ye Xingbei. Using the lie that the old patriarch was at death’s door, they deceived Ye Xingbei into returning from abroad.

But what about now?

The rumors of Gu Junzhu’s impending death were false!

Gu Junzhu is alive and well!

He’s the wealthiest, most capable, and most eligible man they’ve ever heard of!

And he’s rather handsome, standing tall like a jade tree. His appearance vibrant and noble, distinguished and elegant, catching and holding the eye.

An almost perfect man like him was actually rejected by their dramatic series of crying, shouting, and threatening to die.

And they even used their cunning to push him toward Ye Xingbei, whom they detest the most!

How could they do this?

How can fate torture them like this?

If they had known that the rumours of Gu Junzhu’s impending death were false, they would’ve fought tooth and nail for a chance to marry him. How could they ever let him fall into Ye Xingbei’s hands?

But now, such a wonderful man has ended up with Ye Xingbei.

They stared intently at Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, their hearts filled with regret, anger, and despair, beyond verbal description.

Ye Xingbei was sweetly nestled in Gu Junzhu’s arms, stepping toward them, stopping right before their eyes.

The hand that Gu Junzhu had placed around Ye Xingbei’s waist, appeared so gentle. But the gaze he cast their way was cold, distant, and superior, just like a king looking down on everything.

His body emanated the ambition and pressure accompanying high status. His gaze, though seemingly calm, was intimidating and suffocating, making them dare not meet his eyes.

Being in his presence, the Jiang family felt worthless and desired to submit.

Jiang Zhengxing found it unbelievable.

Even though the Jiang family had been on the decline recently, with the situation quite dire, he was still the head of the premier family in Jiang City.

However, standing in front of Gu Junzhu, even he, the head of the preeminent family in Jiang City, felt insignificant like an ant.

The nobility and elegance inherent in Gu Junzhu made him lose his footing and feel worthless.

It took all his strength to maintain composure, managing to smile knowingly as an elder would when seeing a beloved younger one: “Ah Zhu, you’re here today, looking rather well. Has your health improved considerably?”

“Indeed, all thanks to Beibei,” Gu Junzhu turned his head to look at Ye Xingbei, “Ever since I married Beibei, my health has been improving day by day. President Jiang, you’ve raised a wonderful daughter, a true wife of fortune!”

His hand remained affectionately around Ye Xingbei’s slim waist. He looked at Ye Xingbei with an indulgent gaze and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

The originally cold and arrogant look in his eyes softened into a warm, intoxicating pool when it settled on Ye Xingbei’s face.

Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu, standing at the side of Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai, watched wide-eyed with envy, almost driven to insanity.

Inside, they were screaming, yelling, and crying out.

This should’ve been their husband, their man!

If it hadn’t been for their stubborn refusal to marry, the one being held in the arms of this noble and dignified man, treated with such special regard, should’ve been one of them..
