Chapter 17: I Came to Make You Regret!_1

As Zhou Yuan stepped out, he saw his mother holding Chu Ran's hand, saying excitedly, "Ranran, it's enough that you came, why did you buy so many things?"

"Look at our home, it really... really makes a joke in front of you!"

The words on the walls made her feel inferior.

And those gifts, all of them were expensive items such as abalone, shark fins, bird's nests, and ganoderma, obviously very valuable!

"Auntie, I rushed over last time and didn't bring any gifts, I hope you can forgive me!"

Chu Ran's lips wore a tranquil smile.

Such a down-to-earth goddess was hard not to be liked.

But...

Her approachability was reserved only for Zhou Yuan and his family.

Because in her eyes, Zhou Yuan, as well as Chen Yue'e, were both very simple and sincere!

Approaching her was not for any benefit!

Zhou Yuan saw it all and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

His mother liked Chu Ran a lot too, but Wei Shen was right, he was not from the same world as Chu Ran.

Even if there was a marital agreement binding them, what would it change?

"Xiao Yuan, I was just about to call you!"

"You two chat, I'll... I'll go buy some groceries!"

Chen Yue'e didn't even mention going to work anymore; she was rather thinking about how to entertain Chu Ran.

This girl, whether in terms of looks, temperament, or in dealing with people, was so much better than Yang Li.

If Zhou Yuan could marry such an outstanding daughter-in-law, she would not have to worry at all.

"Auntie, there's no need to bother!"

Chu Ran said with a smile, "Zhou Yuan and I have some private matters to attend to, you won't blame us, right?"

Private matters?

Chen Yue'e was taken aback at first, and then she laughed even more heartily, "No... how... how could I!"

"You... you guys go ahead!"

Could it be that Zhou Yuan and Chu Ran were already deeply in love?

Otherwise, there was no need for Chu Ran to give her such expensive gifts, right?

"Mom, take good care of yourself at home!"

Zhou Yuan called out and quickly got into the car, "Miss Chu, I'm really sorry to have you splurge like this!"

In truth, he was also puzzled, what private matter could Chu Ran have with him?

To seek treatment?

But right now, he had no choice but to deal with a situation at hand.

Chu Ran pouted her red lips with haughty charm, "Those little gifts, for me, don't count as a splurge!"

If sending gifts worth millions could be considered splurging, then the Chu Family of Capital City would be too pretentious.

"That's true as well!" Zhou Yuan laughed awkwardly, then confessed, "However, I have some matters to attend to, I need to sort them out before I come to find you!"

"Is that okay?"

He was immensely grateful to Chu Ran.

So he was afraid of upsetting her.

"You're going to crash the event, right?"

Chu Ran smiled mysteriously, "Take me with you, I won't let you lose face, right?"

Zhou Yuan was startled, "How... how could you?"

For him, Chu Ran was like a fairy from the heavens. Having her agree to join him was an immense honor.

"That settles it then, I happen to be free today!"

Chu Ran said with a smile, "Also, in life, one cannot be too kind, unless you still have feelings for her!"

The implication of her words couldn't have been clearer.

Despite being supreme in both medicine and martial arts, he hadn't sought any extreme revenge after betrayal, something she found incomprehensible.

So she had to ask for clarification!

"Miss Chu, you jest!"

Zhou Yuan's eyes brightened considerably, "From the moment she betrayed me, I've felt nothing but endless disgust towards her."

"Out of respect for the past, I didn't want to pursue it. But then she first incited my brother to sell my house and then came to my place to anger my mom to faintness, I had to fight back!"

Some people really take an inch and want a mile, and Yang Li was that kind of woman, always mistaking his forbearance for weakness!

Now it was time for Yang Li to see his assertive side.

Chu Ran smiled contentedly, she had underestimated Zhou Yuan!

However, this unyielding spirit was worth cultivating!

The Mingqi Hotel was especially bustling today!

There were luxury cars all over the entrance, with more than half of Jiang City's business elite truly in attendance.

Of course, it wasn't because Liu Yuanpeng was so formidable, but rather due to Chu Ran's overwhelming influence.

"Husband, look quickly, that loser actually dared to show up!"

While Liu Yuanpeng was proudly entertaining the distinguished guests, Yang Li reminded him in irritation, "And that cheap woman he hired, she almost made me die of anger, you must avenge me!"

It was that woman, who had made her lose face in Tianyi Pavillion!

So she hated Zhou Yuan and Chu Ran.

"We have many honored guests today, if he dares to act up, he will only humiliate himself."

"As for that woman, what is she really..."

But when Liu Yuanpeng turned and saw Chu Ran in a white gown, with an ethereal aura like a celestial being, he could no longer find the words to continue.

He had thought Yang Li was beautiful, but compared to the woman beside Zhou Yuan, she was worlds apart!

"Aren't you going to take action?"

Yang Li, oblivious to her husband's swallowing his saliva, couldn't wait and urged him on.

Liu Yuanpeng hurried over, wanting to flaunt his superiority in front of Chu Ran, and immediately took aim at Zhou Yuan, "You worthless loser, you actually had the gall to come."

Yang Li's eyes were filled with disdain, and she even intended to humiliate Zhou Yuan by clinging to Liu Yuanpeng's arm.

But she was mercilessly pushed away by Liu Yuanpeng, if not for today being his wedding, with so many significant figures present, he truly didn't want anything more to do with Yang Li.

After all, completely overshadowed by Chu Ran from head to toe, how could he be fitting for his imminent rise?

"I came to make you regret it!"

Zhou Yuan's tone was impassioned as he retorted with authority, "And never to treat my family with disrespect again!"
