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

Chapter 150 Something's Going Wrong

"Xinglan and I are not actually in a romantic relationship. I brought her here to pretend to be my girlfriend. I originally wanted to ruin the blind date you arranged, but I didn't expect that she would become my blind date. So I just went along with it. Actually, we didn't have any feelings for each other at all."

As Xiao Ze spoke, his voice grew softer.

"You like her?" No one knows a son better than his mother, and Mrs. Xiao quickly picked up on the clues in Xiao Ze's words.

Xiao Ze didn't say anything, but that was tantamount to him acquiescing.

"Does she not like you?" Mrs. Xiao asked again.

"She has someone she likes."

"My son Aze is so outstanding, how could she not like you?" Mrs. Xiao was shocked, surprised and angry. "Hmph, my best friend is vain. Her daughter isn't that great either. I never liked her in the first place. It was my best friend who kept pestering me to get married."

Mrs. Xiao was indignant, as if this was the only way she could find some psychological balance.

It's a loss for the Chu family that such an outstanding, even perfect, son of hers is not appreciated by the Chu family girl.

"Alright, since Aze wants to cancel, then let's cancel. Honestly, Aze is so young and outstanding, are you worried he won't find a wife?"

Mr. Xiao interrupted Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao hesitated, then stared at her husband with a pitiful expression.

I'm eager to have a grandson, is that wrong?

Mr. Xiao's heart softened a little when he saw his wife's expression.

"Okay, okay, it was my fault. You were only trying to help Aze. I didn't object to your impulsive decision. It's not a loss for our family right now. We just lost a daughter-in-law, but we'll find a better one in the future."

Mr. Xiao comforted Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao could only nod reluctantly, saying that this was the only way. At this point, she became agitated again.

"No, I have to call Ziqin. Her daughter already has a boyfriend, and she even introduced him to my Aze. Is my Aze a garbage collector?"

Xiao Ze glanced at his parents, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Xiao Ze's attention returned to reality. When he saw Chu Xinglan's relieved expression, his heart ached slightly.

He didn't realize how deeply he loved her until he saw her tense nerves finally relax, and then he discovered that his heart was crying silently.

At that moment, Chu Xinglan also received a phone call from her mother.

"Lanlan, did you run away again? Where are you? Come back quickly, are you still seeing that guy surnamed Xu?"

Mrs. Chu launched into a tirade.

Chu Xinglan covered her ears with her hands and waited for her to finish speaking before slowly saying, "Mom, I have something to do here, so I'll hang up now."

Mrs. Chu wanted to say something more, but Chu Xinglan hung up the phone directly.

"That's great, thank you so much, senior." Chu Xinglan looked at Xiao Ze and thanked him with a smile.

Chu Xinglan wasn't entirely sure if Xiao Ze had completely resolved the matter until she received a call from her mother, which confirmed her suspicions.

"What are you thanking me for? This isn't just your problem." Xiao Ze forced a smile and continued, "Fortunately, the invitations haven't been officially sent out yet. As long as the family decides, that's fine. Otherwise, if the invitations were sent out, the Xiao and Chu families would really be in an awkward position."

"Anyway, this farce is finally over. I still owe you a meal, and this time it's on me."

Chu Xinglan's tone became much more relaxed. She called over the waiter and began to order.

“It’s a farce for you, but it’s not for me,” Xiao Ze said in a low voice.

"What?" Chu Xinglan looked up in surprise at Xiao Ze. "What were you saying just now, senior?"

"It's nothing," Xiao Ze smiled. "Why did you have to spend so much money today?"

In his memory, she valued money very much. He used to think that she was like that because she didn't have money, but how could a young lady of the Chu family not have money? He had misjudged her.

Chu Xinglan was taken aback.

It seems that she hasn't cared about money as much since she got together with Gu Ye.

“That’s true. Senior is so rich, you could never spend all your money.” Xiao Ze smiled wryly. If it was just a matter of wealth, he was already at a huge disadvantage.

"No, it's not because of his money that Gu Ye and I are together!" Chu Xinglan hurriedly explained.

Xiao Ze smiled but didn't say anything.

He knew all too well the senior's personal charm; even if he were penniless, many women would probably still like him.

Chu Xinglan had a headache.

Gu Ye is unaware of her pregnancy, and now that they're spending so much time together, how can she possibly keep it a secret from him? Besides, her belly is becoming increasingly difficult to conceal…

Chu Xinglan suddenly felt her head throbbing more and more.

Suddenly, Chu Xinglan stood up abruptly, startling the waiters who were serving the dishes.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ze asked with concern when he saw that Chu Xinglan looked unwell.

"I forgot something." Chu Xinglan covered her forehead with her hand, wishing she could slap herself hard on the head. It's true that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years. How could she forget that Shu Weiting just called to say she was coming to her house, and she just ran out like that? Only Gu Ye was home.

"What's wrong? Is it serious?" Xiao Ze asked again.

"It's not that serious, but it also seems very serious. My best friend is on her way to find me."

Chu Xinglan glanced awkwardly at Xiao Ze.

She clearly said she was going to treat Xiao Ze to dinner, but only half of the dishes were served.

"Let her come here with us," Xiao Ze said with a smile.

"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Chu Xinglan secretly glanced at Xiao Ze, and suddenly had a brilliant idea. Maybe this could be a good opportunity for Shu Weiting and Xiao Ze to get to know each other. Who knows, they might even hit it off and create a beautiful romance? One of them was her best friend, and the other was a senior she got along well with. This outcome couldn't be better.

But she had already agreed to treat Xiao Ze to dinner, and it wouldn't be right to add another person, so she asked Xiao Ze for his opinion first.

"What's wrong with that? Just call her over." Xiao Ze didn't think much of it.

Chu Xinglan quickly took out her phone to make a call, but found a missed call and a text message, both from Shu Weiting.

She must have been interrupted by a phone call from her mother, because she immediately opened the text message: "Lanlan, I'm downstairs at your place. Come pick me up, I'm exhausted, I'm carrying so many things."

Chu Xinglan suddenly stood up again.

Oh no, she didn't care that she had broken her promise again, and hurriedly said to Xiao Ze, "Xiao Ze, I have to go home now. I'll definitely treat you to a meal another day."

Chu Xinglan said that she wished she could spread her wings and fly home immediately.

"Lanlan, why didn't you pick me up?" Shu Weiting had a key to the rented apartment, so she came straight in.

Carrying various desserts, she was a little out of breath. After putting the things on the table, she looked for Chu Xinglan.

What about people?

Just then, she heard a noise coming from the bathroom.

Shu Weiting approached quietly, as if playing a prank.

"Hey!"

Just as the door opened, Shu Weiting was about to make a frightening move, but she was stunned by what she saw.
