Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 229: Stunned by Her Sweet Talk

Mu Anhan spoke up to this point and gazed affectionately at Gu Xiaozhan: "Xiaozhan is the most talented and capable among the Gu Family children and is deeply loved by both of you. But he is also a son of our country. If Si Ling’s matter is mishandled and causes international disputes, leaving country A’s people in misery, would Xiaozhan’s international prestige diminish? Would the people of country A be disappointed in him?"

Huo Yiwen was left speechless by her softly spoken yet powerful words.

Gu Zhentao, however, nodded frequently: "The daughter-in-law Xiaozhan married has a far-sighted vision and a grand perspective, not bad, not bad!"

When Huo Yiwen heard her husband praising Mu Anhan, she got even angrier, and her usually delicate face couldn’t maintain its composure.

"Dad, Mom, the matter of Si Ling is really not because Xiaozhan is being heartless. He is not only a son of the Gu Family, but also a son of country A." Mu Anhan continued, "If Xiaozhan bends the law for personal gain and his reputation declines, it would lead to consequences for the entire Gu Family."

Gu Zhentao’s anger had completely dissipated, and he said to his son, "Xiaozhan, you’ve married a good wife!"

"Dad, please stop praising me..." Mu Anhan bashfully lowered her head, "Really, it’s all because Xiaozhan taught me so well!"

Huo Yiwen cursed her as a fox spirit in her heart. It was one thing for her to entice other men outside, but she even had to charm her father-in-law!

Yet, in front of the Gu Family father and son, she dared not act out, as any man’s anger here would leave her in a bad spot!

Gu Xiaozhan’s lips held a faint smile that was neither here nor there, as this woman now seemed flawless in front of his parents.

Mu Anhan took two steps forward, crouched by his feet, and gazed up at him with affectionate eyes, seeming like a warm and soft cloud, swaying his heart.

Gu Xiaozhan grasped her hand, interlocking his fingers with hers, shedding all his sharp angles, love suffusing his handsome face.

The hatred in Huo Yiwen’s heart took root and sprouted; today, Gu Zhentao had to come and see how poor this daughter-in-law was!

But Mu Anhan was good at acting, she had Gu Zhentao thoroughly charmed.

The thing Huo Yiwen was most proud of in her life was marrying Gu Zhentao, and having a son like Gu Xiaozhan was her greatest pride.

Now, her son was so enchanted by this little fox spirit, and even her husband appreciated this little fox spirit—this couldn’t end well!

"The issue with Si Ling is her own fault, but what about Yong Lei?" Huo Yiwen could no longer stand them flaunting their love and rebuked impatiently.

Mu Anhan still leaned against Gu Xiaozhan, then she looked toward Huo Yiwen: "Mom, I have no interaction with Yong Lei. If there is any connection, it’s because I’m Xiaozhan’s wife and she’s Xiaozhan’s sister. She incited someone to kill me, not because of me, but because of Xiaozhan, Mom, think about it, why would she want to kill me?"

"If you weren’t Xiaozhan’s wife, would she have asked someone to kill you?" Huo Yiwen argued unfoundedly.

Gu Zhentao shook his head, not agreeing with Huo Yiwen’s words, "Anhan, tell me why Yong Lei is targeting Xiaozhan?"

Mu Anhan gave a secret glance at Gu Xiaozhan; he was silent, and she seemed too afraid to speak!

"If you don’t say anything, I’ll think you’re trying to sow discord between the siblings!" Gu Zhentao scolded heavily.
