Gu Beixian felt that Su Huan was covering for Gu Jinyao. On the day of their grandmother's burial, he had seen Gu Jinyao twice with his own eyes. He stood there so boldly by the broken bridge, on the opposite side of the pond, watching Su Huan from afar. The deep affection in his eyes could not be blocked by mountains or seas. Su Huan's hand was injured one moment, and the next, Chu Suosuo's hand was smashed, also the left hand, with four fingers affected. Chu Suosuo slapped Su Huan, and that night her face swelled up like a pig's head. If Lu Yao really died, how could these coincidences be explained? The only reasonable explanation was: Lu Yao was not dead, he had changed his appearance and become Gu Jinyao. Or, Su Huan was lying. Between the two speculations, Gu Beixian preferred to believe the first one. Thinking of how Su Huan's emotions changed drastically every time the name 'A Yao' was mentioned, Gu Beixian stopped arguing with her and quietly picked up a dining knife to cut a piece of foie gras, feeding it to her mouth, 'Eat more, you've been working hard on the paintings these past few days.' Su Huan thought he was no longer angry and returned to normal, eating. When they were almost done eating, Su Huan paid the bill and went to the restroom. A figure from a distance quietly followed her, also arriving at the restroom. Su Huan came out of the restroom and washed her hands. Next to her, a young woman walked to another sink and turned on the faucet to wash her hands, saying while washing, 'Sister Su Huan, you also come here to eat?' Su Huan glanced sideways and saw it was Chu Suosuo. She was really annoyed. She was everywhere, like a fly, hauntingly persistent. Su Huan said indifferently, 'Are you following me?' Chu Suosuo sneered, 'We come here to eat every day, it's just a coincidence that we met.'

Su Huan couldn't be bothered to pay her any attention and continued to wash her hands with her head down. Chu Suosuo turned off the faucet, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked at her, saying in a very contemptuous tone, 'Sister Su Huan, coming from a small mountainous area like you, it must be your first time dining in such a romantic place. Do you feel like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden?' Su Huan had always thought she had a good temper. But Chu Suosuo kept challenging her patience time and again. Su Huan curled the corners of her lips and said, 'A parasite who can only rely on her parents, what right do you have to laugh at me?' Chu Suosuo's face suddenly turned ugly, and she simply stopped pretending, directly saying, 'You're really more persistent than I imagined. Even at the Civil Affairs Bureau, you still refuse to divorce.' Her real intention was to force her to divorce Gu Beixian. Su Huan sneered, 'Whether to divorce or not is a matter between my husband Gu Beixian and me. What does it have to do with you?' With a hint of mockery in her eyes, Chu Suosuo leaned close to her ear, lowered her voice, and said in a sarcastic tone, 'If it weren't for your grandmother's timely death, you would have divorced long ago. Your grandmother really knew how to choose the moment to die, not early, not late, but precisely on the day you were about to divorce, just to prevent you from divorcing. Women from small families like you are so calculating. Having finally latched onto a high branch, you would stop at nothing to cling to Brother Beixian, never letting go.'

A surge of anger rampaged through every pore of Su Huan's body. Her pupils gradually dilated, and even she could see the impending fury about to ignite within her. Without a second thought, she grabbed Chu Suosuo by the clothes on her chest and forcefully threw her against the wall. Chu Suosuo's back hit the hard wall with a thud, causing her to wince in pain. Su Huan raised her hand and brought it down. 'Smack!' A slap landed fiercely on Chu Suosuo's face. Driven by anger, the slap used all of Su Huan's strength, striking fast, loud, and hard. Chu Suosuo's face immediately swelled up drastically. On her fair half of the face, five bright red fingerprint marks were clearly visible. Tears burst from Chu Suosuo's eyes, and she couldn't catch her breath from the pain for a long time. Suddenly, she raised her head and choked out towards the direction of the door: 'Brother Beixian, have you seen Su Huan's true colors? Look how good she is at pretending, so gentle and kind in front of you, but in reality, she's just a shrew, vicious and fierce when she hits someone.'

Su Huan's heart skipped a beat as she slowly turned her head. She saw Gu Beixian standing outside the bathroom, tall and composed, watching them both with an unflappable demeanor. It was then that Su Huan realized why Chu Suosuo had leaned in close to whisper those words in her ear, it was to provoke her into taking action. Last time, Gu Beixian had stood up for her because Chu Suosuo had struck the first blow. But this time, it was she who had acted first. Su Huan looked at Gu Beixian quietly, waiting for his reaction. Seeing that he remained silent, only pursing his lips slightly, he regarded them both with a cold indifference. She suddenly realized that his silence was actually a sign of support for her. After all, this time it was she who had initiated the action. Gu Corporation and Chu Corporation were in a partnership, and there were some things he couldn't afford to be too blatant about. Su Huan understood the situation and looked at Chu Suosuo with a clear and cold gaze, saying, 'You are such a strange person. He is my husband, and he has been so kind to me and my family, of course, I should be gentle with him. You covet my husband, repeatedly provoke me, slander my grandmother, and yet you expect me to be gentle with you? Is there something wrong with you, or is there something wrong with me?' Chu Suosuo was at a loss for words, tears welling up in her eyes as she pointed to her swollen cheek, plaintively saying, 'Beixian bro, look at what she did to my face...' Gu Beixian ignored her, his dark pupils steadily fixed on Su Huan, and asked softly, 'Did you get hit?' Su Huan shook her head. This favoritism was too blatant. Chu Suosuo was almost bursting with anger, 'Beixian bro, didn't you promise Uncle Gu to take good care of me? Have you forgotten?' Gu Beixian said indifferently, 'I only promised him to take good care of you in terms of work.'

Chu Suosuo was heartbroken and tearful, 'Beixian bro, after more than a decade of growing up together, can't you be a little nicer to me...' Suddenly, a male voice shouted, 'Suosuo, stop talking and come out.' Su Huan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chu Suosuo's brother, Chu Mochen. Su Huan didn't know how to face him for a moment. However, Chu Mochen gave her a slight nod and said, 'Sorry.' Su Huan was quite surprised. After all, she had indeed slapped Chu Suosuo quite hard just now. Seeing that she couldn't get any advantage, Chu Suosuo snorted coldly at Su Huan and turned away. Her fingers had touched Chu Suosuo's face, and Su Huan, finding it dirty, washed her hands again. She came out and walked towards the exit side by side with Gu Beixian. Gu Beixian said in a flat tone, 'I didn't expect you to be so fierce. I heard that slap from a distance.' Hearing the sound of the slap, he thought Su Huan was being bullied and hurried over. Su Huan couldn't guess his meaning for a moment and asked, 'Do you also think I'm pretending? Are you disappointed in me?' Gu Beixian's handsome face was slightly tense, 'A bit.' Su Huan got angry and said sourly, 'You're upset because I hit your ex-girlfriend?' 'Why did you hit her?' 'She insulted my grandmother, that's why I hit her. She can insult me, but she can't insult my grandmother, not even mention it!' Su Huan was fuming, but her eyes turned red. Seeing that she was serious, Gu Beixian stopped teasing her, raised his hand to touch her head, and said in a softer tone, 'I'm not upset for her. It's just that I'm used to seeing your gentle side. It's a bit surprising to see you being fiercely cute for the first time.'

“You used to have such a bad temper, and you never scolded me,” Su Huan was taken aback. She thought he would take Chu Suosuo's side, and she was furious inside. But then he changed the subject, and she was instantly defenseless. She wrapped her arm around his and blurted out, “You are my husband, the closest person to me. I cherish you so much, how could I bear to scold you?” Gu Beixian couldn't help but smile at the corner of his eyes. He pinched her chin, pushed her into the corner, and quickly pecked her lips. He looked in a very good mood. Because she went to see Gu Jingyao, he had been holding a grudge, and now he was pacified by her.
