Mrs.Big Shot Turns the Tables

The ugly daughter-in-law is always afraid of meeting her in-laws.

However, Lin Chuxia's fear of seeing her mother-in-law wasn't due to her looks, nor was it because the old lady Gu treated her badly.

On the contrary, the old lady Gu was very kind to her, even kinder than to Gu Yuheng.

Her fear of seeing the old lady Gu stemmed entirely from other reasons.

And at this moment, in Jinxiu Residential Area.

Gu Mansion.

After hanging up the phone, the old lady Gu couldn't help but complain to her husband about Gu Yuheng's behavior.

"This damned boy! It's clear that I'm doing this for his own good, yet he guards against me as if I were a thief! Do I look like I'll steal Chuxia away from him?"

"Besides, if it weren't for his incompetence, would I be so worried? He's been in the Lin Family for over a year now, and I've heard that Chuxia is as scared of him as if he were a ghost. I don't even know what kind of detestable thing he did to her."

"At this rate, forget about holding our grandson... I worry that our ready-made daughter-in-law will fly away!"

"Look at Erha, and then look at him, what kind of things is he doing! Erha had grandchildren scattering all over the area in less than half a year, and he can't even match up to Erha! How unlucky I am to have such a son..."

Upon hearing his spouse's words, old man Gu finally couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Well, Erha is a dog raised by the old lady Gu.

"That stinker, refusing to let me speak with Chuxia, I'll just have to talk to her!" With that, the old lady Gu immediately opened her contacts list, found Lin Chuxia's number, and dialed it.

On this end, Lin Chuxia was so frightened when she saw the name on the phone screen that she almost dropped her cellphone.

"Hello, um, mom, did you call me for something?"

"Chuxia, I didn't call you for anything special, just wanted to say, Yuheng has never really interacted with girls since he was little, and I'm worried you are being mistreated by him. If you find him doing anything wrong, feel free to hit and scold him, don't hold back!"

Sitting nearby, having heard every word clearly, Gu Yuheng: "..."

"Men, they all like to take an inch and want a mile if you give them an inch of sunshine!" the old lady continued enthusiastically, "But, I still understand Yuheng. Although he has a disposition that everyone despises and even dogs disdain, he still has one redeemable quality, which is that he is obedient! If he does anything wrong, just scold him, and if he refuses to listen, tell me, I'll help you beat him up!"

Gu Yuheng, who was despised by both humans and dogs: "..."

In the meantime, Lin Chuxia was also stunned. She had dealt with old village ladies before, but this was her first time being in a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.

Could it be that an older mother-in-law could have such fresh and adorable thoughts?

Glancing at Gu Yuheng, whose complexion was darkening, Lin Chuxia couldn't help but giggle softly and nodded, "Mom, don't worry! If he doesn't behave, I'll beat him up! And if he dares to retaliate, I'll tell you and dad, and you can help me teach him a lesson together!"

As she said this, Lin Chuxia gleefully glanced at Gu Yuheng, perfectly embodying the expression "bullying backed by power."

However, her laughter was short-lived.

"That's the spirit! Chuxia—" the old lady's voice dragged out long, and from her tone alone, one could feel her excellent mood, "I had someone switch out the bed in you and Yuheng's room for a bigger and sturdier one; it's really comfortable, you'll definitely like it! Stay for a few more days when you come."

Change beds? Why change beds? She had never mentioned wanting to change beds, yet before Lin Chuxia could voice her confusion, Granny Gu was already delightedly hanging up the phone.

Yes, the elderly lady had specifically made a call to Lin Chuxia, and the purpose was just to say this. At this moment, Granny Gu's thinking was as follows: If the bed was comfortable, her darling grandson wouldn't be far behind.

That was exactly why Chuxia was afraid of meeting Granny Gu—fearing the pressure to produce offspring. -_-||

"Was it you who told Mom to change the bed in the old house?" Perhaps having just finished the call with Granny Gu and feeling emboldened by the "imperial edict," Lin Chuxia's spine stiffened, so her tone inevitably carried a bit of "bullying" as she spoke to Gu Yuheng, sounding somewhat aggressive.

"I never said that." Watching the spirited Lin Chuxia, Gu Yuheng couldn't help wanting to tease her, "Wasn't it you who said it?"

"???" Lin Chuxia's eyes widened, "Don't frame me, when did I ever say that?!"

"It was that night we stayed over at the old house. You said, 'These beds squeak and squawk, and they look like old antiques too,' remember?"

Lin Chuxia's eyes widened even further. She had indeed said that that night, but what did that have to do with changing beds?

"I forgot to tell you," Gu Yuheng's tone was somewhat mocking, "The old house's soundproofing is poor."

"Fuck!!!" In shock, Lin Chuxia couldn't help but curse, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

In that case, didn't the noises from their room that night mean that her in-laws could hear everything, loud and clear?!

"Would it have made a difference if I had told you earlier?" Gu Yuheng retorted.

"Of course it would have! Would I have embarrassed myself like this if you'd told me sooner?" Lin Chuxia said, wishing she could smack the plate in her hand on Gu Yuheng's smug face.

"But even if you had known about the bed making noises in advance, it wouldn't have mattered!" Gu Yuheng feigned ignorance, "After all, your shouts that night were even louder than the bed's."

"You..." Lin Chuxia's face turned crimson with embarrassment, and she kicked Gu Yuheng's shin fiercely, "Who's talking about that bed!"

She was talking about the soundproofing issues of the old house!

If she had known about the poor soundproofing of the old house earlier, she wouldn't have that night…

My God! Was that basically any different from broadcasting live in front of the elders?!

Just thinking about what happened that night made Lin Chuxia's face turn a red so deep it looked like it could bleed.

Gu Yuheng, watching her as she covered her face and ran away, was in an extremely good mood. He was well aware that Lin Chuxia was referring to the soundproofing issues of the old house; he just thought the young lady's expression was too arrogant earlier, and he wanted to tease her for fun.

However, recalling the event that happened that night at the old house, even Gu Yuheng's usually impassive face flitted with a bit of discomfort.

He had always known the old house wasn't soundproof, and that night, he had initially only wanted to sleep peacefully; it was just that later… he had been unable to resist the overwhelming passion.

Once desire took over, his eyes, heart, and mind were full of her, with no room to remember whether or not the house was soundproof. So everything had happened quite naturally… until he woke up the next day and suddenly remembered the things he'd neglected before.

He had always been remarkably self-controlled since childhood, and that was the first time he had ever been so disrespectful in front of his parents, so lately, he always found excuses not to go back to the old house.

At this moment, Gu Yuheng would never have imagined: A moment of petty fun can be exhilarating, constantly being petty can be always exhilarating… but, courting one's wife can lead to one's funeral pyre!
