Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Inside a resplendent and private club in Sea City, Imperial Capital.

At this moment, Gu Jiao was ecstatic at the reactions of many passersby and fans commenting below the post.

"Come on, keep commenting and spreading the news," she mumbled excitedly before she took a large gulp from the bottle of beer in her hand.

"Gu Jiao, what are you still sitting there for? Come, join us here!" A friend called her impatiently to come to the dance floor with their other friends.

Gu Jiao swatted the hand of that friend and glared at her. "Go by yourself, Cindy. Can't you see I'm enjoying myself here?! What an annoying woman!"

Cindy Kang leaned forward to take a look at what Gu Jiao had been staring at the entire night.

Seeing the interface of a social media platform shown in the screen of her phone, Cindy Kang frowned and raised her gaze to ask, "Are you being serious? You called us out here to drink and have fun, but you actually want to read gossip on Weibo?"

Gu Jiao was not at all annoyed by Cindy, and she said with a smile, "That's because you don't know what I'm looking at, idiot!"

"Oh? Pray tell me then."

Cindy took a seat beside her and leaned on Gu Jiao's arm to take a closer look at the phone.

Gu Jiao was already used to Cindy's attitude and proudly showed her work to her best friend. "I was really annoyed because I couldn't do anything for the next six months. I should be staying at home and waiting for time to pass, but I heard something really funny. Nowadays, anyone could just take a role I threw away and coincidentally, the person who took the role I previously took is someone you probably knew too well."

Cindy became interested and asked, "Someone I know? But I don't know anyone in the entertainment circle aside from you though?"

Gu Jiao laughed at her answer and clicked a few times on her phone screen before showing it to Cindy, "Look at this... Now, tell me if you don't know her."

Cindy Kang looked at the photo Gu Jiao showed to her for a second, squinted her eyes, then finally, she gasped in excitement. "What the heck! Isn't this Zhilan? Isn't she the nerdy girl in our class who tried to steal your boyfriend in high school?"

"At that time, you and Chen Kai were still dating when that nerdy suddenly appeared in front of your boyfriend while blushing. I heard she even gave him a love letter and met him behind the school building to confess her feelings for him. Everyone knew this because the next day, the rumor that she was dumped was spread around very quickly. That was also why we started bullying her, right?"

Gu Jiao's eyes shook when she heard her words, but the smile on her lips were still as straight and effortless.

In fact, she and Chen Kai broke up a month before because he caught her kissing someone else. Chen Kai was the school's handsome classmate and sports idol, he was always away for training and competition. Because she couldn't take the loneliness and hole that her boyfriend couldn't patch up, Gu Jiao found the second most handsome man in school and hooked up with him.

Unfortunately, Chen Kai witnessed it on the day he unexpectedly returned to their class. No one else was inside the class since it was already after class, but he still caught her there with another man.

Gu Jiao begged him to stay, but Chen Kai refused. Without any other choice since the latter didn't want her anymore, Gu Jiao asked him for one last favor and that is to hide the fact they already broke up before they tell their friends. Chen Kai agreed since he wouldn't be always in the school ground anyway since he would be training and competing anyway, but who knew that he would fall to the quiet and smart student in their class.

Chen Kai continued hiding the fact that he and Gu Jiao were no longer together with other people, but told Zhilan about him when he was pursuing her. Gu Jiao also said this to Zhilan.

But the month after their break up, things got out of hand.

Gu Jiao's jealousy became a bit too much seeing that Chen Kai and Zhilan were getting a bit too close to getting their happily ever after.

Hence, she made up the rumor about the love letter and about Zhilan stealing her ex-boyfriend from her.

Till this day, she never told a soul about this truth and Chen Kai was now living abroad.

Only Zhilan had to suffer for several years and carried the name of a 'Homewrecker' ever since.

Gu Jiao snorted angrily, "Let's not talk about that... Just thinking about it is already making me angry.

After saying this, the two continued to watch the live comments starting to increase in numbers and more and more people cursed at Zhilan. Moreover, Cindy Kang used her own account to also post something about Zhilan:

[Cindy not Cinderella: Hey, isn't this someone I know? Everyone, calm down... This person is a classmate of mine from high school. She's very known for being such a gloomy and nerdy student that the teachers even hated her! Not only that, she even stole my best friend's boyfriend and now, this? Woah, her face must be so thick that she can still lie through her teeth! If everyone wants to know more about her, just send me a private message and I will tell you her name!]

Soon, Cindy's post became hot and she gained a lot of followers while the numbers of people sending her private messages and asking her the identity of the girl keep pouring in.

Cindy was very satisfied with this response, but she forgot that she only has two hands and she couldn't reply to everyone. To help a friend out, Gu Jiao asked Cindy if she wanted to go inside a private room where there's a computer and also order for two club men to service them later.

Cindy was definitely happy to join her and the two finally left their private clubroom.

As soon as they got a private room and told the club manager to send two club men to service them, the two were about to busy themselves with ruining Zhilan's reputation even more for fun.

And just as the computer was turned on inside the room, the door of the private room was knocked.

The soft and clear sound of someone knocking from outside their door came after another, like a drum being hit on, making people's heart accelerate without reason.

Gu Jiao thought that the men that the club sent to them to service them for the night were here and didn't have her guard on as much as she opened the door.

"That was fas—"

The next second, before her word could even finish making a landing, a hand zoomed into her face.

And an extraordinarily cold voice entered her ears.

"You must be thinking you're free to do whatever you want to do after I let you off so easily last time?" The hand grabbing her hair changed direction and went to grab Gu Jiao's hair, pulling it tightly.

Gu Jiao felt the very familiar pain almost instantly.

She was about to scream, but the moment the tiniest sound came out of her mouth, a hand covered her lips, forcing the sound to be muffled and swallowed back down to her throat.

"Shh... I don't want to hear your ugly voice so shut your trap."

Gu Jiao stared in shock at the beautiful woman in front of her and wondered why she was here.

—Ran Xueyi!

Standing before her was Ran Xueyi, looking still as beautiful as when she first met her at the airport before. However, her eyes were not as warm and lively as it was when she first saw them. Her eyes were red with red-hot anger, like a red steel freshly taken out of the furnace. One touch and you will burn.

Previously, Gu Jiao saw Ran Xueyi being unrestrained and fierce, but today, her aura was different. It was more violent and filled with deadly coldness.

"What's taking you so long?"

A voice interrupted her thoughts and Gu Jiao desperately glanced at Cindy's way for help since her body felt like there was a poisonous and big predator constricting her body, causing her to lose her ability to move and whole body to become numb.

—Quick, help me push her off me!

Hearing that there was someone else inside the room, Ran Xueyi moved her gaze and glanced at Cindy lazily. She didn't show an expression of shock or being flustered as though everything was just under her control.

Cindy was shocked by her, "Who are you? Let go of her!"

Ran Xueyi looked at her for a few seconds and raised her eyebrows, "Are you going to help her?"

Cindy was stumped by her question before aggressively saying yes.

Ran Xueyi's eyes and expression suddenly changed into a smiling face silently.

Both Gu Jiao and Cindy were terrified and creeped by her smile.

Then, in the next second, Gu Jiao was held down with her face smacking against the wall, very loudly and forcefully. Gu Jiao could feel her blood rushing through her nose and she curled up into a ball on the ground while groaning painfully.

[Bang!]

Cindy stared at this gruesome scene without a sound and was helpless as she watched Gu Jiao bleeding on the floor. She wanted to help her, but her mind and body were united and told her to not move.

Ran Xueyi looked very satisfied and said, "I'm going to ask you again...."

"Are you going to help her?"
