Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Possessively Holding Her Tight

The Gu Family in Country A is as rich as a nation.

The helmsman is still the 78-year-old Gu Zhentao, who lived a frivolous and licentious life, married four wives, and fathered fifteen children.

Gu Xiaozhan is his most accomplished son, and he is the eldest from the fourth wife.

Gu Yongjin is the only son from the second wife, and she only had him followed by three daughters. Gu Yongjin was pampered growing up; he’s terrible in business but a master in all pleasures.

Gu Xiaozhan is fourteen years younger than him, but even in front of Gu Xiaozhan, he feels scared, even weak in the knees.

When he was injured by the sharp gaze of Gu Xiaozhan, he immediately laughed and said, ”Ah, it’s my sister-in-law, forgive my poor eyesight! Sister-in-law, welcome to your first Gu Family gathering, welcome!”

Mu Anhan disliked his barefaced gaze, and she couldn’t help but lean closer to Gu Xiaozhan. Gu Xiaozhan didn’t respond to his invitation, and she just nodded slightly, as a polite gesture.

Gu Xiaozhan was quite pleased with her preference to rely on him; he dominantly hugged her small waist and went directly to meet with father and mother.

The environment outside the Gu Family Villa is serene and elegant, but the house decorations are magnificently splendid.

The fourth wife, Huo Yiwen, sat beside the head of the family, Gu Zhentao, with her youngest son, Gu Xiaomin. In wealthy families, the mother’s status depends on her child’s status as normal.

Now Gu Xiaozhan is the most promising, and Huo Yiwen is also admired and in the limelight.

”Dad, Mom, An Han and I are back.” Gu Xiaozhan gently pinched her small waist, signaling her to greet them.

Mu Anhan slightly bowed, dignified and graceful, ”Dad, Mom...”

Gu Zhentao and Huo Yiwen originally both opposed Gu Xiaozhan marrying Mu Anhan. Although the Mu Family is also considered a wealthy family in Country A, it’s far inferior compared to the Gu Family.

But Gu Xiaozhan insisted, and the marriage was due to pregnancy, so the matter was set aside.

After marriage, their married life became increasingly outrageous. Not only did Mu Anhan never come to gatherings, but eventually, even Gu Xiaozhan stopped coming back.

”If it weren’t for your mother saying I was sick, would you have come back?” Gu Zhentao felt his change started from the moment he married, all because of Mu Anhan causing Gu Xiaozhan to be distant from the Gu Family.

Gu Zhentao saw him bring this woman back and didn’t show him a good face.

Gu Xiaozhan just coldly said, ”I don’t see you looking sick, since that’s the case, we’re leaving.”

”You—” Gu Zhentao didn’t expect that after not seeing him for so long, he would be so arrogant, and after four years, he still defended this woman so much!

Huo Yiwen quickly tried to mediate, ”Zhentao, since Zhan and Han Er are back, let’s sit down and have a meal together as a family.”

After she finished speaking, she signaled to her youngest son, Gu Xiaomin, to calm Gu Zhentao.

”Dad, I haven’t seen brother for a long time, he doesn’t know I’ve grown taller, let brother stay and keep me company, okay?” Gu Xiaomin is only ten years old but very perceptive. Listening to his mother, he quickly went to pacify his dad.

Huo Yiwen then stood up and approached Mu Anhan, gently pulling her hand, kindly saying, ”Han Er, come chat with mom!”

Faced with such an expertly diplomatic mother-in-law, Mu Anhan could find no reason to refuse and had to nod, ”Okay, mom.”

Gu Xiaozhan, however, furrowed his brow at Huo Yiwen, afraid she might treat Mu Anhan poorly.

”Honey, rest assured, I’ll take good care of myself!” Mu Anhan looked up and smiled sweetly at him.

Moreover, after her rebirth, she wanted to mend relations with the Gu Family.

Although she didn’t like Gu Zhentao, with his frivolous and lecherous ways, he was, after all, Gu Xiaozhan’s biological father.

Gu Xiaozhan let go of Mu Anhan, and Huo Yiwen led her to sit in her own room.

Without outsiders around, especially with Gu Xiaozhan not there, Huo Yiwen released Mu Anhan’s hand, withdrew her smiling facade, and looked at her with a sharpness of an inquisitor.
