41: Chapter 41 Cohabitation Leads to Pregnancy, Mother Gu is Enraged

"Ruoxue, who is this man?"

Mrs. Gu's eyes were fixed on Jiang Chen, scanning him constantly, filled with hostility.

The Provincial Capital Gu Family had already arranged a marriage for Gu Ruoxue, and she absolutely could not have any contact with any other man.

If that man found out that Gu Ruoxue was with another man, not only would Gu Ruoxue's life be at risk, but even the Provincial Capital Gu Family would be implicated.

The Family that man belonged to was one the Gu Family could not afford to provoke.

Before Gu Ruoxue could speak, Mrs. Gu said in a stern voice: "Ruoxue, you should know the consequences of being with another man. Leave Jinling with me immediately, and you are not allowed to come back ever again!"

"Mom..."

Gu Ruoxue held tightly onto Jiang Chen's arm, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Jiang Chen clearly felt Gu Ruoxue's despair and helplessness.

After these days of interaction, Jiang Chen had a rough understanding of Gu Ruoxue's Family situation.

Gu Ruoxue was the Young Miss of the Provincial Capital Gu Family; not only was she beautiful, but she was also exceptionally talented, attracting the attention of the younger generation from countless top-tier Families.

Furthermore, the Gu Family was one of the leading Families in the provincial capital.

The people pursuing her could line up from the provincial capital all the way to Jinling.

However, Gu Ruoxue had a proud and independent personality and refused to accept a Family-arranged marriage, so she came to Jinling alone to start a business.

Relying on her outstanding appearance and sharp business acumen.

She founded Yu Yan Beauty and successfully listed it in Jinling.

Later, she met his elder brother, Heavenly Might War God Jiang Feng, and was deeply captivated by his character and charm, confirming a romantic relationship.

Since the Jiang Family was also a wealthy Family in Jinling, and Heavenly Might War God Jiang Feng had a military background, the Gu Family agreed to their marriage and even held a grand engagement ceremony.

Who would have expected that the Jiang Family would later suffer a terrible misfortune.

The three sons of the Jiang Family died on the battlefield.

The Family fell into decline.

Seeing the situation was bad, the Gu Family immediately canceled the engagement and arranged another marriage for Gu Ruoxue.

The other party was a Family even more powerful than the Jiang Family.

Mrs. Gu had come this time to take Gu Ruoxue back to prepare for her marriage to the young master of that Family.

Perhaps realizing her fate could not be reversed.

Tears rolled down Gu Ruoxue's stunningly beautiful face, dripping onto Jiang Chen's hand.

Jiang Chen did not expect that the so independent and strong-willed Gu Ruoxue would actually cry.

However, Mrs. Gu did not care in the slightest about Gu Ruoxue's tears, her voice carrying a trace of anger: "Ruoxue, I don't care who this man is, let go of him immediately; he is not worth your attachment at all."

"Once you return to the provincial capital and see that man, you will know what a true prodigy is."

"By then, you will realize how trashy the men you associated with before were."

Gu Ruoxue closed her eyes in despair and let go of Jiang Chen.

She compromised.

She had originally wanted to use Jiang Chen to buy herself some time.

But Jiang Chen had not said a word from beginning to end, which made her feel disappointed, though she could understand.

After all, Jiang Chen was innocent.

She could not be too selfish.

That man and his Family were truly too terrifying.

If he found out about Jiang Chen's existence, I fear the last remaining seedling of the Jiang Family would be destroyed.

She did not want to harm Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, please tell Grandma for me that I will not be coming back in the future."

Gu Ruoxue looked up at Jiang Chen, her eyes filled with tears, her voice very soft and helpless.

After speaking, she slowly turned around, prepared to get into the car with her mother.

"Slap!"

Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed her arm.

At the same time, Jiang Chen's voice rang out: "Mrs. Gu, I'm sorry, but Ruoxue cannot leave with you."

Gu Ruoxue was startled upon hearing this and hurriedly looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen actually addressed her as "Ruoxue" instead of calling her "Sister-in-law" like before.

Jiang Chen reached out and pulled Gu Ruoxue back to his side, looking at the stunned Mrs. Gu and saying: "Ruoxue is my woman. We have been living together for several months, and she is already carrying my child. I am willing to take responsibility for her."

Gu Ruoxue was completely dumbfounded when she heard this.

When did she live with Jiang Chen?

The two of them clearly only lived in the same villa.

And when was she pregnant with Jiang Chen's child?

But soon, Gu Ruoxue understood.

Jiang Chen saying this was purely to help her and buy her time.

If it had been any other man saying this, Gu Ruoxue would have slapped him across the face long ago.

But looking at Jiang Chen's firm and gentle gaze.

Gu Ruoxue was instantly dazed.

She seemed to see the phantom of Heavenly Might War God Jiang Feng overlapping with Jiang Chen.

"Ruoxue, I will protect you forever."

"Even if I die one day, my Soul will still protect you."

These were words Heavenly Might War God Jiang Feng had once said to her.

She still remembered them clearly to this day.

If that man knew she was no longer a virgin and was pregnant with someone else's child, he probably wouldn't be interested in her anymore and would definitely cancel the marriage voluntarily.

This must be the way of salvation Jiang Chen had found for her.

Thinking of this, Gu Ruoxue cast a grateful look at Jiang Chen.

But soon her heart was filled with worry again.

Jiang Chen doing this could help her find salvation, but the price was angering the Provincial Capital Gu Family and that man.

The Provincial Capital Gu Family was one thing.

But once that man got angry, he might very well kill Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen seemed to notice Gu Ruoxue's worry, smiled gently at her, and comforted her not to think too much.

"You... you all..."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu's entire face turned black, and her lips were trembling violently.

When Gu Ruoxue was with Heavenly Might War God Jiang Feng, they only held hands until the engagement.

Now this was great; not only was she living with a strange man, but she was also pregnant with his child.

This was going to be the death of her!

If that man found out.

How could their Gu Family withstand the other party's fury!

That man's Family was a true Martial Dao Family; if they just sent out a random expert, they could wipe out their Gu Family.

Mrs. Gu's whole body was trembling, her hands clenched into fists, her fingernails almost piercing into her flesh.

She forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and began to size up Jiang Chen.

Although Jiang Chen looked decent enough, tall and thin, his attire was truly too shabby; his casual clothes were washed until they were faded.

He was simply an ordinary man from the bottom of society, the kind seen everywhere on the street.

I don't know what Gu Ruoxue saw in him that she actually gave her precious body to him?

"Ruoxue, is what he said true or false?"

Mrs. Gu still couldn't believe this matter, her cold, sharp gaze fixed on Gu Ruoxue.

Gu Ruoxue's pretty face flushed red, and she pressed her lips tightly together.

Jiang Chen had disregarded the danger to help her to this extent, so she couldn't expose Jiang Chen, and stammered: "Mom... he and I are sincere..."

Hearing her daughter say this, the lingering hope in Mrs. Gu's heart was completely shattered.

The precious daughter she had always regarded as the apple of her eye had actually been defiled by a piece of trash from the bottom of society.

Damn it!

Extreme anger slammed into Mrs. Gu's mind, driving her almost insane.

But she quickly calmed down, stared at Gu Ruoxue and said: "Ruoxue, go back to the provincial capital with me immediately. I will arrange for a doctor to abort the child, and from now on, you are not allowed to step a single step outside the Gu Family!"

After speaking, her gaze fell back on Jiang Chen, and she gritted her teeth: "Brat, don't think that just because you tricked my daughter into giving herself to you that you can soar to success. Stop daydreaming!"

"I'm warning you, you had better keep the matter between you and Ruoxue to yourself. If you dare to say a single word about it, I will make you disappear from this world forever!"

With the power of the Provincial Capital Gu Family, making a piece of trash from the bottom of society disappear completely was not a difficult task.

Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked coldly at Mrs. Gu.

"What? You're not convinced?"

Mrs. Gu saw the unfriendly gaze Jiang Chen cast at her.

Jiang Chen said coldly: "Mrs. Gu, you should be grateful that you are Ruoxue's mother, otherwise you would be a corpse right now."
