When Gu Shen heard this, he helplessly explained: "No, you misunderstood." Pausing for a moment, she continued in a fawning tone, "You are her mother-in-law, how could you bully her? If you really do bully her, others will just say that you are relying on your seniority to sell! "
Zhou Lin did not utter a word, his expression was displeased.
Ye Chaxu bit her lips without saying anything, she felt that whatever she said was wrong.
"Gu Shen, you only know how to protect Ye Chaxu. There will be a day when you regret it." Zhou Lin's eyes turned cold. Remembering that Ye Chaxu did not even tell her when he left, or even wait for her, Zhou Lin's anger started to spread through his heart.
"Mom …" Gu Shen dragged his voice as he wanted to say something more, but he felt that no matter what he said, Zhou Lin would not be able to listen to him.
However, he held Ye Chaxu's hand tightly. Because he was afraid that she would think too much into it, he used his actions to prove his love for her.
Ye Chaxu understood what Gu Shen meant, and did not say a word, afraid that talking would offend people.
The atmosphere had turned stiff, and the air had cooled a few degrees.
Zhou Lin looked as Gu Shen held Ye Chaxu's hand, looking to be deep in thought.
After a long time, she finally quelled her anger.
She looked at Ye Chaxu, who was standing in front of her with his eyebrows lowered and his head lowered, and said coldly. "Ye Chaxu, hide the etiquette you have learnt today for me."
Ye Chaxu's pupils contracted, he nodded his head slightly, and displayed the etiquette.
After Zhou Lin finished reading, his face was expressionless and his voice was ice-cold, "You didn't learn well today, you can continue tomorrow." Although Ye Chaxu had done it okay, it was not what she wanted.
"Alright." Ye Chaxu agreed. Actually, she felt that she had already learnt it well, but Zhou Lin felt that she still couldn't, so she decided to learn again!
Gu Shen frowned, and helped Ye Chaxu out of his predicament. "Mom, etiquette doesn't need to be learned so seriously."
"You are the dignified CEO of the Gu family, and Ye Chaxu is your wife. If her every move at the wedding carried a trace of rustic flavor, you would be ridiculed by others." Zhou Lin said in a serious tone, there was no room for negotiation at all, "Also, after the marriage, you are going to bring her back to the clan to meet the elders, so the etiquette is even more important."
Gu Shen frowned, he wanted to say something.
Seeing that, Ye Chaxu immediately spoke: "Gu Shen, I'm fine, learning etiquette is a skill, you also said that I want to learn more. Since mother told me to learn, then I will earnestly learn and work hard to satisfy mother." He even shot a look at Gu Shen, signalling him to stop.
If he said too much, Zhou Lin would be very unhappy.
After Gu Shen heard this, he thought for a moment, before listening to Ye Chaxu's words.
As long as she wasn't tired, he would just let her be!
After Zhou Lin heard this, he was stunned that Ye Chaxu had suddenly become obedient.
Maybe, it was Gu Shen that said something to Ye Chaxu!
"Ye Chaxu, go upstairs first. I have something to talk to Gu Shen about." She thought about the important matters, which were not suitable for Ye Chaxu to listen to, and let Ye Chaxu go.
Ye Chaxu nodded and obediently went upstairs.
After Ye Chaxu left, Zhou Lin looked at Gu Shen with anger in his eyes.
"Mom, don't be angry. You will get old quickly with a straight face all day." Gu Shen worriedly tried to persuade her, but his face was full of worry.
Zhou Lin felt that what Gu Shen said was not nice to hear, and said angrily: "Brat, you're cursing me?"
"No, you're my mom. If I curse you, I'm afraid the sky will strike me like a thunderbolt." Gu Shen hurriedly explained, afraid that he would think too much.
In fact, as long as Zhou Lin didn't make things difficult for Ye Chaxu, their relationship would be very harmonious and he would also treat Zhou Lin like a child and pamper her. After all, Zhou Lin was his mother.
Zhou Lin did not want to bother with Gu Shen anymore on these trivial matters, because she had just heard a piece of news, and this news was extremely disrespectful to him, and was even related to the clan, so the most important matter now was to take care of the clan's matters.
Thus, she became serious and said seriously, "Your father returned to the family."
Hearing that, Gu Shen's face became gloomy.
"I heard that he came back, and that he had come back for two months, but we did not know that, while you were seriously injured, he had taken control of most of the clan's rights, and also won over a lot of people's hearts. Your great grandpa likes him very much, and has even decided to hand over the right of inheritance to him." Zhou Lin was incredibly worried, the matter was more serious than she wanted, yet Gu Shen was still together with Ye Chaxu …
Gu Shen was not surprised, he had already known about these things.
"You've married an ordinary woman, and the rest of the family is fighting back. The right-hand man who was on your side has also turned against you." Zhou Lin sighed, worried about this: "In order to pacify the people who are loyal to you, your father even gave a portion of the shares to others." In order to make those people completely loyal to Gu Shen, Gu Yuan had taken out a portion of his shares as bait, which was why he made those people willing.
Gu Shen saw that Zhou Lin was so worried that he kept sighing, and tried to persuade him: "Mom, I know what I'm doing, don't worry."
In fact, he had been keeping a watchful eye on the matter.
He was not indifferent, but secretly making preparations.
After all, when dealing with a person, one had to let the enemy gain the most benefits, first make the enemy happy, and then let the enemy fall from the peak. Only then would the enemy remember the taste of failure, and would no longer dare to resist.
However, there were some plans that could not be mentioned in advance because they were afraid of exposing their true identities.
Although Zhou Lin was his mother, but he had told her that she was not good at acting, and would definitely be discovered by others.
"How can I not be worried? While you were sick, that person had been scheming all this time and had already stood on your head. That's why your father hurried back to the family to help you deal with those traitors, but you were not impatient at all. Zhou Lin said angrily, his tone filled with displeasure: "And your grandmother, she originally wanted to help you, but she didn't.
"Mom, Grandma knows what to do, why are you in such a hurry?" Gu Shen comforted Zhou Lin and said confidently: "I am your son, you must believe that I have the ability. No matter what that person does, I will pull him down from that position, because that place is mine." He paused for a moment and then said firmly, "I want the position of the heir to the family, no one can take it away from me."
After Zhou Lin heard this, his face became confused and his eyes filled with uncertainty.
"We can't be anxious. Don't look at how calm everything is. A storm is brewing, and all the blood and gore is coming." Gu Shen said coldly, her face seemingly covered in a layer of ice.
"Son, are you confident?" Zhou Lin asked, seeing that Gu Shen seemed to be very confident, he couldn't help but to look forward to it.
Gu Shen nodded, held onto Zhou Lin's hand and comforted him: "Mom, trust me."
Zhou Lin hesitated before slowly nodding.
However, Ye Chaxu was a problem, so he asked worriedly, "When are you going to tell Ye Chaxu about the family?"
