Baby! Be good! Don't be afraid! Your husband isn't a wild animal!

"Mom, aren't you and Liang Yulan sisters? I've never understood why you hate her so much?" Guan Ling asked, puzzled.

"She's a vixen. If I hadn't been smart, you wouldn't even have had the chance to be born," Liang Yuqin said meaningfully.

"What do you mean? You mean Dad and her..." Guan Ling was surprised, as this was the first time she had heard about these things.

"Back then, she used some means to seduce your father. I overheard your father and your grandparents saying they liked her and wanted to propose marriage, so I made it a fait accompli first, and that's how the Guan family changed their marriage partner to me." A sinister glint flashed in Liang Yuqin's eyes. "Your father doesn't know about this. Don't let it slip. I've never told anyone about this."

"So she was an old fox spirit. Luckily, Mom, you were smart enough to marry Dad, otherwise I wouldn't be living such a good life. Now it's Gu Zhihua's turn." Guan Ling said smugly.

"After so many years, I'm really looking forward to seeing her looking like a haggard old woman." Liang Yuqin's competitive spirit was at play, and she was eager to see Liang Yulan looking miserable.

From childhood to adulthood, she was always better than me. In my parents' eyes, Liang Yulan was a good girl who did well in school, while I was poor in school and not good-looking. We were both born of parents, so why did they pass on all the bad things to me and all the good things to Liang Yulan?

What good is being good-looking and academically gifted? It's all about having a good life. She's the one who deserves to enjoy life. The Guan family was already wealthy in the village. After she married Guan Baisong, the whole family moved to Kyoto. At that time, she cut off all contact with her family. Now, the Guan family has joined the ranks of the wealthy in Kyoto. She is a true socialite. Liang Yulan can never compare to her in her entire life.

"Mom, are you sure she'll come to my wedding?" Guan Ling also wanted to slap Gu Zhihua in the face and show her how well she had married.

"She'll definitely come. I haven't contacted her for so many years, but we're still sisters. She won't refuse. I could tell from her tone that she'd love to come." Liang Yuqin smiled uglyly with a crooked lip.

Liang Yuqin stood up, spun around, and said, "Quick, tell me, isn't it beautiful?"

"Yuqin, are you not ready yet? Our in-laws are downstairs entertaining the guests, we should go down too," Guan Baisong said as he opened the door.

"Bai Song, do I look beautiful today?" Liang Yuqin asked coquettishly.

"Okay, I'll go down first. You should come down and greet the guests soon too," Guan Baisong replied casually, then turned and left.

"Your dad is such a blockhead, he doesn't know anything about sweet talk." Liang Yuqin was speechless.

"Mom, you've known Dad for a long time, he's always been like this," Guan Ling said.

He wasn't always like this. He used to smile when he saw Liang Yulan and even say sweet words. Liang Yuqin thought to herself, a cold glint in her eyes, "I'll show you that the Bai Guangyue in your heart has become a haggard old woman."

Over the years, she has been working hard to take care of herself, and she looks several years younger than her peers. Liang Yulan must look very old because she lived such a hard life in the countryside.

"Mom, what are you daydreaming about? Let's go downstairs. If we keep the Zhou family waiting, my mother-in-law will be angry." Guan Ling was most afraid of her mother-in-law. It wasn't easy for her to marry into the Zhou family, so she had to swallow her anger.

"I know, the day our Guan family is richer than the Zhou family, you won't have to put up with that old geezer's attitude anymore." Liang Yuqin rolled her eyes.

"Let's go." Guan Ling took her hand and they went to the hotel lobby together.

Seeing that the guests today were all from prominent families, Liang Yuqin was secretly pleased. Her daughter was born a princess and should marry into a wealthy family. Unlike Liang Yulan's daughter, who was born into a lowly family, neither of them had such good fortune. Only she had such a good life, and her daughter deserved the best.

Liang Yuqin was adorned with jewels, and Madam Zhou glanced at her, feeling quite annoyed. Such a relative was really beneath her class, looking like a nouveau riche.

Unaware of her own predicament, Liang Yuqin was even smug. She felt the gazes of those wealthy wives and assumed it was because she was dressed exceptionally well that they must be envious of her. She held her head high and puffed out her chest, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Madam Zhou regretted her decision, thinking she shouldn't have agreed to the marriage. It was all because her son was so infatuated with this woman and even got pregnant before marriage. Otherwise, she would never have liked Guan Ling.

Guan Ling is just like her mother. She thinks she married well. When her plastic best friends came, she put on the airs of a rich lady. Now that her classmates and friends envy her, her vanity is satisfied. They all say she is lucky. She really is lucky. These people could never marry into a wealthy family in several lifetimes.

"Why are you still wearing high heels?" Mrs. Zhou walked over to Guan Ling and said sternly.

"Mom~ I'm still a little pregnant, it's okay. It's my wedding today, so if I feel tired after wearing this for a while, I'll change." Guan Ling said with a forced smile.

"You'd better be careful. If anything happens to my little grandson, you'll have to bear the consequences." Madam Zhou said with a smile, but her tone was a warning.

"I know, Mom, I won't joke about the child." Guan Ling was also smiling, but she hated this old witch to death and really hoped she would die soon.

When Mrs. Zhou saw her old friend arrive, she went over to greet her, and Guan Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What did she say to you again?" Liang Yuqin walked over.

"Just ignore her for her usual difficult behavior," Guan Ling said, glancing around. "Mom, haven't Liang Yulan and the others arrived yet?"

"If I don't see them, they won't not come. Today's wedding is in a five-star hotel. They've never been to such a high-class hotel before. If they still don't show up later, I'll call them again," Liang Yuqin said dismissively.

The entrance to the Jingli Five-Star Hotel was filled with all kinds of luxury cars. Everyone had come to attend the wedding, all because of the Zhou family. The Zhou family is one of the top ten families in Kyoto, and many people were willing to give them the honor.

"Just stop here," Gu Zhihua told the driver to take her to the hotel entrance.

The driver brought the car to a stop, and Gu Zhihua and the others got out.

"Zhihua, slow down. There are a lot of people at the wedding today. Be careful of your stomach. Some of the children are running around, and it would be bad if you bump into them," Liang Yulan said with some concern.

"Mom, it's okay." Gu Zhihua smiled; she would take good care of herself.

"Young Madam, don't worry, I will protect you from the shadows," Leng Feng said.

"Okay, I understand," Gu Zhihua said, taking Liang Yulan's hand. "Mom, let's go."
