Bai Chen, who was about to go to bed, received a call from his best friend. "What the hell? Who is Gu Nuannuan? You have a wife? Your wife is missing? Gu Nuannuan is missing? Damn it, even if I'm a playboy, I'd know if my brother were married."
Jiang Chenyu: "Yes, Gu Nuannuan. She's missing now."
Bai Chen: "... Wait a minute, I might be drunk and hallucinating."
Jiang Chenyu: "I'll give you three seconds to sober up. Now, help me find someone."
Bai Chen rolled off the bed, and the floor hit his butt so hard that it hurt.
He knew this wasn't a hallucination.
His good brother was married!
Not only was he married, but his wife had also run away.
So, three minutes after Jiang Chenyu hung up the phone, his other three brothers called him from abroad and asked, "Chenyu, I heard from Bai Chen that your wife ran away with someone?"
Jiang Chenyu couldn't bear it.
"Brother, how could this happen to you? You're supposed to be charming. How did your wife run away with someone just after you got married?"
Jiang Chenyu took a deep breath. "If I didn't need Bai Chen right now, I'd definitely sew his mouth shut."
"I'm angry, I'm angry," Nangong Zi, who was abroad, declared, confirming his good brother's wife had indeed run away. "Chenyu, I'm coming to Dongguo to be with you now."
At times like this, as a good friend, you need to be by his side to help him through this dark period.
Nangong Zi was coming, and so were the other two, Zhen Xi and Yan Zhenyu.
They called it: supporting their brother through an emotional crisis.
In fact: they wanted to see what kind of woman dared to cheat on Jiang Chenyu.
The Jiang family searched for Gu Nuannuan all night, even alarming Old Master Jiang.
He sat on the sofa with a grim expression, his fists clenching tighter and tighter.
Blaming Gu Nuannuan was futile now, and Jiang Chenyu hadn't slept all night, waiting for her to come home the next day.
At noon the next day, Gu Nuannuan learned everything and hesitantly returned to the Jiang family.
Standing at the door of the Jiang house, she took a deep breath to mentally prepare herself.
She hadn't come home the previous night, and she would inevitably be scolded upon her return. Gu Nuannuan had thrown a big tantrum at home the day before, but today she was much calmer.
She told herself to hold back her anger and not to lose her temper again.
Her husband, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them when she appeared, glancing at his wife walking in from the scorching sun.
Gu Nuannuan's embarrassment and nervousness didn't escape his notice.
Jiang Chenyu lowered his arms and adjusted his sitting position on the sofa.
Gu Nuannuan hesitated at the door for half a minute before raising her feet and walking toward the living room.
"You didn't come home all night, and there was no news. Who gave you the courage to do this?!" Old Master Jiang said. "Are you defying me?!"
Old Master Jiang gnashed his teeth, and his tone scared Gu Nuannuan.
"Dad, I went to my friend's house yesterday. After I got there, I realized I had forgotten my phone, so I couldn't inform the family."
"Don't call me Dad," Old Master Jiang roared.
Gu Nuannuan pursed her lips and didn't dare to speak further.
Mr. Jiang was originally very angry and had even considered having Gu Nuannuan divorce his second son in his fury. However, seeing her standing there obediently, waiting to be reprimanded, he recalled the housekeeper's advice and ultimately decided to pull back.
"Gu Nuannuan, do you realize your mistake?" Mr. Jiang stared at her with sharp eyes.
Wei Aihua remained silent throughout. She knew Mr. Jiang was furious and didn't dare provoke him, but she was curious to see if Gu Nuannuan would admit her fault for what had happened yesterday.
