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

Chapter 203: Everything is developing in a positive direction.

Mingyin was sentenced to three years in prison for attempted murder. After so many things happened, Mr. and Mrs. Chu also changed a lot.

As if wanting to make up for what she owed, she became more friendly towards Chu Xinglan.

The current friendliness is not intentional, but comes from the heart to be kind to Chu Xinglan.

Chu Xinglan clearly sensed the changes in them and, grateful for their nurturing kindness, would occasionally visit them.

"Young Miss, you're back." The nanny still habitually addressed her as Young Miss.

"Where are my parents?" Chu Xinglan asked with a smile.

"They just went to see Miss Mingyin and are back."

Upon hearing what the nanny said, Chu Xinglan turned to leave.

After all, Mingyin went to jail because of her. They had just returned from visiting Mingyin, and seeing her again would inevitably make them feel uncomfortable. To avoid awkwardness for each other, Chu Xinglan's best choice was to leave.

"Lanlan, you just arrived, why are you leaving already?" Mrs. Chu appeared at the bottom of the stairs, with Mr. Chu beside her.

They hurried downstairs and came to Chu Xinglan's side.

"Lanlan, sit down and have a cup of tea," Mr. Chu said hurriedly.

Chu Xinglan had no choice but to stay.

"Um... how is Mingyin?"

When Chu Xinglan asked this question, Mr. and Mrs. Chu couldn't help but look at each other and lower their heads.

Chu Xinglan could only cover up her embarrassment by drinking tea.

"It's only been three years, it will pass quickly. Once she's out, we'll make it up to her properly." Perhaps sensing the awkward atmosphere, Mr. Chu forced a word.

"Yes, it was a moment of weakness on my part that led to this situation."

Mrs. Chu felt deeply annoyed by this.

“Let’s not talk about this in front of Lanlan.” Mr. Chu tugged at Mrs. Chu’s sleeve.

"Yes, yes, I won't say anymore, it's all in the past." Mrs. Chu wiped away her tears and looked at Chu Xinglan, saying, "I heard you're pregnant with Gu Ye's child, but there's no change at all? Could there be something wrong with the baby?"

Mrs. Chu asked with some concern.

"It's alright, the baby is healthy." Chu Xinglan smiled.

Isn't the little baby in front of her lively and energetic?

"It's good that you're alright." Mrs. Chu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then asked, "How many months old is the baby?"

Chu Xinglan paused for a moment, looking at her parents' earnest gazes, unsure of what to say.

"Two or three months, I guess," Chu Xinglan lied.

She couldn't exactly tell them she was seven months pregnant. How could she explain that even though she was seven months pregnant, her belly only looked like she was two or three months along?

She and Gu Ye tacitly announced to the public that this matter had only lasted two or three months.

As for the day of delivery, just lie and say it was an unexpected premature birth.

"The fetus is unstable in the first few months, so you need to be extra careful," Mrs. Chu reminded her.

Chu Xinglan nodded seriously.

Indeed, during the early stages of her pregnancy, she was no different from any other pregnant woman. Her morning sickness almost made her feel dizzy and disoriented, but thankfully, it got much better after that period.

"Stay and have dinner with us tonight before you leave," Mr. Chu said, looking at Chu Xinglan.

"I won't eat dinner. Gu Ye will be back tonight, and he'll be worried if he doesn't see me." Chu Xinglan forced a smile.

Mr. Chu said nothing more.

Speaking of Gu Ye, he felt a chill in his heart. This son-in-law was too terrifying. If it weren't for Chu Xinglan's sake, he wouldn't have shown him any mercy.

"Then I won't force you."

"Lanlan, you must come often when you have time." Mrs. Chu held Chu Xinglan's hand, somewhat reluctant to part.

Chu Xinglan nodded.

Before Mingyin was released, she would often come to see them. If Mingyin was released, she would never come again. Even if Mingyin could not hurt her, they would feel uncomfortable looking at each other, so it was better not to see each other.

"After this ordeal, I believe Mingyin has learned her lesson and won't do anything to you again," Mrs. Chu said, deeply moved.

Chu Xinglan sensed that there was a hidden meaning in her words.

What's wrong with Mingyin?

"No, it's nothing," Mrs. Chu demonstrated.

"What happened to Mingyin?" Chu Xinglan asked Mr. Chu.

Under Chu Xinglan's gaze, Mr. Chu nodded slightly.

“Every time we went to see her before, she would yell and shout and... she would insult you with all sorts of nasty language. But these past few times, Mingyin hasn’t insulted you anymore, and she’s covered in bruises. When we asked her what happened, she just said that she accidentally fell and hurt herself. This time, she seems like a completely different person. She’s so honest that she hasn’t said a single insult to you.”

After hearing her father's words, Chu Xinglan suddenly seemed to have thought of something.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry too much. She should be much better off after she's suffered some hardships," Chu Xinglan comforted them.

"Yes!" Mrs. Chu said excitedly, "After she gets out, your father and I will teach her properly and make sure she doesn't make the same mistake again."

When Chu Xinglan returned home, she found that Gu Ye had been waiting for her for a long time.

Chu Xinglan looked outside. The sun was still very bright. Why was he back so early?

Faced with Gu Ye's serious gaze, Chu Xinglan lowered her head somewhat guiltily: "I went to visit my parents, and they seem to have aged a lot all of a sudden."

“I don’t object to you visiting your parents-in-law, but I’m worried about your safety.”

Gu Ye walked over, put his arm around her waist from behind, and spoke softly.

"All those who harmed me have been punished, so no one will harm me now. Don't be so nervous. I'm not a rat in the street that everyone wants to kick."

"How can you be such a pretty rat crossing the street?" Gu Ye gently kissed her beautiful cheek. "It's because I love you to the bone that I panic when I don't see you for a moment, let alone if you run off outside. What if some clueless guy sets his sights on you?"

Chu Xinglan chuckled.

"I'm not a Renminbi... not everyone loves me!"

As soon as Chu Xinglan finished speaking, Gu Ye lowered his face and covered her lips with his.

Chu Xinglan was so overwhelmed by the kisses that she almost forgot herself. Suddenly, she remembered that they were still in the hall, so she quickly pushed Gu Ye away.

Why are you home so early today?

Gu Ye touched his lips, which were still stained with Chu Xinglan's perfume, with a lingering sense of satisfaction. He had almost lost control just now.

If it weren't for an important matter he had to attend to, he would have already carried Chu Xinglan upstairs and enjoyed her to his heart's content.

"Grandpa invited us to dinner tonight." His long fingernails traced across Chu Xinglan's moist red lips.

"Really? Then we need to hurry up and not keep Grandpa waiting too long."

As she spoke, Chu Xinglan left the reluctant Gu Ye behind and quickly went upstairs. She wanted to dress up nicely so that her grandfather could see her at her best.

Gu Ye looked at the anxious Chu Xinglan and shook his head helplessly. He should have told her the news later.
