The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 5 Gu Ye is also reborn.

"No, this is a gift for you." Gu Ye smiled gently, dispelling Chu Xinglan's concerns.

Hearing Gu Ye say this, Chu Xinglan was filled with mixed emotions.

"You're too charming. Be careful next time, don't let anyone drug you again. Otherwise... there won't be another Chu Xinglan to be your antidote," Chu Xinglan murmured.

After all, they were husband and wife for three months in their previous life, so she still had some feelings for him.

"I will be more careful in the future and will not let this happen again." Gu Ye's hand clenched inexplicably, and it wasn't just about this matter!

Chu Xinglan gave Gu Ye a strange look, then turned and walked out of her room.

Mr. and Mrs. Chu waited nervously outside. They didn't know what Chu Xinglan wanted to say to Gu Ye. Would she offend such a good son-in-law for the sake of that poor Xu Yang?

So when Mr. Chu saw Chu Xinglan and Gu Ye come out, he quickly said to Gu Ye, "Mr. Gu, no matter what Lanlan said to you, it's not what we meant. In this family, we, as the elders, still have the final say."

"No, Lanlan's wishes are the outcome. Since she doesn't want to marry me, I won't force her," Gu Ye said coldly.

"It's not Mr. Gu..." Mr. Chu wanted to say something more, but he was met with a cold look from Gu Ye, and Mr. Chu dared not say anything more.

"Furthermore, I am only willing to cover the losses for your Chu family because of Lanlan. If any of you force Lanlan to do anything she doesn't want to do, I can bankrupt the Chu family instantly. Mr. Chu, I hope you will think twice."

Mr. Chu was so shocked that he stood frozen in place.

"Even if Lanlan can't marry me, she'll still be under my protection, and no one is allowed to lay a finger on her."

As Gu Ye left, he uttered such a harsh remark, clearly threatening the Chu family elders. Upon hearing this, the Chu family elders were so frightened that their legs went numb and they almost fell over.

As Chu Xinglan watched Gu Ye's departing figure, the doubts in her heart grew even deeper.

Why is Gu Ye suddenly so protective of her?

"Lanlan, when did you meet Mr. Gu? Why didn't you mention it to us?" After Gu Ye left, Mr. Chu turned around and asked Chu Xinglan.

"We only met yesterday," Chu Xinglan replied softly.

"Were you with Mr. Gu last night?" Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu looked at each other, their excitement growing.

"No, no, I'm with Xiaowei. I had a small gathering with some girlfriends last night, and we drank a bit too much, so we checked into a hotel," Chu Xinglan said, half-truthfully.

She was indeed having a small gathering with her best friend, and they drank a bit too much. In the end, everyone suggested getting a hotel room. In her daze, she went to the wrong room and stumbled into Gu Ye's room. She encountered Gu Ye, who had been drugged, and that's how the later events happened. She didn't want her parents to know that she had a physical relationship with Gu Ye. Knowing their nature, if they found out, it would probably be difficult to handle the situation later. Even in her previous life, she didn't dare to let them know the truth about Gu Ye marrying her.

"Is that so? You really didn't have anything going on with Mr. Gu?" Mr. Chu asked, somewhat disappointed.

"Lanlan, Mr. Gu actually helped our Chu family for you and even wants to marry you? This is something so many girls dream of. You're so stubborn. What's so great about Xu Yang that you're so infatuated with him?" Mrs. Chu wished she could whack Chu Xinglan with a stick to wake her up and show her who was the most suitable man for her.

"Congratulations, boss, on winning the heart of your beauty!" Xue Bai, who was waiting for Gu Ye in the car, immediately congratulated him when Gu Ye approached.

Unexpectedly, President Gu has finally broken his heart and suddenly wants to get married. The marriage partner is none other than the eldest daughter of the Chu family. Although the eldest daughter of the Chu family is a beautiful socialite, President Gu has been in the business world for so many years and has seen all kinds of women. Yet he has never been moved by her. Xue Bai really can't figure out what charm this Miss Chu has that can make President Gu fall in love and even prepare to give away all his family's wealth. Tsk tsk tsk, President Gu is either not in love or he goes crazy when he is.

"You've congratulated me too early; Lanlan refuses to marry me!"

Gu Ye was not angry despite being rejected in marriage; his mood remained as good as when he arrived. Otherwise, why would the perceptive Xue Bai joke with Gu Ye, who was known for his cold and ruthless demeanor?

"What? Miss Chu doesn't want to marry you?" Xue Bai thought he had misheard. So many women would kill to become Mrs. Gu, and Mr. Gu offered a generous dowry to propose, but she refused?

"This is too strange. Miss Chu actually resisted the temptation to marry President Gu?" Xue Bai looked incredulous. Was Miss Chu seriously ill?

As Gu Ye sat in the car, he rested his forehead on his hand, pondering the same question. He was overjoyed, thinking that Lanlan would marry him as she had in his previous life. He was even willing to give her everything for her. However, she did not accept his proposal as she had in his previous life, but instead rejected him. Moreover, she rejected him decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

Why is Lanlan unwilling to marry him?

Gu Ye suddenly stopped rubbing his forehead.

"Could it be... that Lanlan has also been reborn!"

"What? Boss, what did you say about rebirth?" Xue Bai, who was driving, didn't hear Gu Ye's words clearly.

"It's nothing, just drive your car."

Gu Ye turned his head to look out the car window with some annoyance. At that moment, he saw a figure brush past his car.

"parking!"

Xue Bai was startled and quickly stepped on the brakes. He looked at Gu Ye with a puzzled expression.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"Xu Yang!"

Gu Ye simply uttered those two words.

Xu Yang? Xue Bai was even more puzzled. He followed Gu Ye's gaze and saw Gu Ye staring intently at a young man in a blue tracksuit. Xue Bai scratched his head in confusion.

Gu Ye watched Xu Yang's figure until it disappeared. He was certain that Xu Yang was heading towards Chu Xinglan's house.

Gu Ye watched Xu Yang until he disappeared, his gaze deep and complex.

"Boss, is there anything special about Xu Yang? Why are you so concerned about him?"

"He was Lanlan's first love!"

In this second life, did Lanlan reject him so she could be with Xu Yang? Should he... let them be together? That way, Lanlan wouldn't be so depressed, and she wouldn't suffer the tragic fate of her past life?

Gu Ye clenched his fists tightly.

But asking him to let go... he probably can't do it!

"So Miss Chu has a boyfriend? But apart from being a little younger than you, there's nothing about this guy that can compare to you!"

As Xue Bai spoke, he noticed Gu Ye's gloomy expression and quickly explained, "I didn't say you were old. You're not even thirty yet, you're calm and mature, much more charming than young men. However, young girls like Miss Chu can't understand that yet; she prefers younger men... a little more!"

The more he explained, the uglier Gu Ye's expression became.

"……boss!"

"Drive!" Gu Ye's tone was icy and terrifying.
