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

Chapter 145 There's no way to escape.

"Yes!" Mrs. Chu nodded.

"Who is Lanlan going to marry?" Shu Weiting asked, her face full of doubt.

"Of course it's the Xiao Ze you mentioned. The Xiao family only has one son. If Lanlan doesn't marry him, does she think she'll marry Mr. Xiao?" Mrs. Chu covered her mouth and chuckled.

Marrying her daughter into the Xiao family was something Mrs. Chu was proud of, so she couldn't wait for everyone to know.

Chu Xinglan is going to marry Xiao Ze? Shu Weiting found it unbelievable. She had only known Xiao Ze for a short time, and now they were already talking about marriage? Had she really won over the campus prince?

"Tingting, remember to come to Lanlan's wedding banquet!"

“Okay, okay, Auntie.” Shu Weiting replied verbally, but she was very puzzled. If that was the case, Chu Xinglan would not have needed her to come and rescue her. She looked at the happy Mrs. Chu and asked, “Auntie, is Lanlan at home? I would like to see her.”

"Yes, Lanlan is in her room. Go find her yourself." Mrs. Chu nodded in agreement.

Shu Weiting walked straight in and ran directly to Chu Xinglan's room.

"Lanlan!"

Shu Weiting's voice came from outside the door, and Chu Xinglan hurriedly opened the door.

"Tingting, it's so good to see you here." Chu Xinglan hugged Shu Weiting as if she had seen a savior.

"Lanlan, what's going on? Why are you suddenly getting married? And to Xiao Ze no less?"

Shu Weiting asked a strange question.

"I didn't know things would turn out this way."

Chu Xinglan recounted how she helped Xiao Ze by pretending to be his girlfriend, but she never expected that she would actually get herself involved in the end.

"You...you're too talented!" Shu Weiting laughed so hard she almost fell over.

"Stop laughing!" Chu Xinglan quickly covered Shu Weiting's mouth and said anxiously, "Please help me think of a way to get me out of here."

"Are you really not going to marry Xiao Ze? Don't you know how popular he is? So many people want to marry him but don't have the chance. Such a great opportunity is right in front of you, are you really going to miss it?"

Shu Weiting looked at her friend curiously.

If it were anyone else, they would be overjoyed, but she's only interested in getting out.

"Such a good thing, do you want it or not?" Chu Xinglan said irritably.

"I'd love to, but they look down on me." Shu Weiting chuckled to herself. What incredible luck did her silly best friend have to be liked by so many people? In terms of beauty, she was no less beautiful than her, so why couldn't she meet so many outstanding princes?

"Stop joking around. Do you really think I can marry Xiao Ze? Let's not even talk about his powerful mother; I'm pregnant too."

Chu Xinglan saw her friend trying to suppress her laughter, but she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"If you really don't plan to marry Xiao Ze, then admit that you're pregnant with Gu Ye's child and let him take responsibility. Wouldn't that solve all your troubles?"

Shu Weiting stared intently at Chu Xinglan. She couldn't understand why Chu Xinglan wouldn't let Gu Ye take responsibility. She was already pregnant with Gu Ye's child, so it was only natural for him to marry her. Why would she keep disagreeing?

“Gu Ye…” Chu Xinglan’s expression fell. “I’d better think of another way.”

Shu Weiting knew that she would deliberately avoid the topic, so she had no choice but to give up.

"Alright then, I'll try to think of another way for you."

As Shu Weiting spoke, she pulled Chu Xinglan out the door.

"Where are you going?" Mrs. Chu had expected this, so she had been waiting downstairs and stopped Chu Xinglan and Shu Weiting.

"Auntie, I'm going abroad soon, so I want Lanlan to come with me to buy some clothes," Shu Weiting said with a serious smile.

"Is that so? That's true!" Mrs. Chu smiled perfunctorily.

"Then Lanlan and I will go out." Shu Weiting said, and was about to pull Chu Xinglan away, but before they could take a step, Mrs. Chu stopped them again.

“You two have been good friends for many years, and Lanlan should indeed accompany you to buy clothes, but she is a bride-to-be now and has many things to do at home, so she can’t get away.” Mrs. Chu smiled again.

"Mom, you and Dad have already arranged everything for me. What is there for me to do? You just locked me in my room. I'll go with Tingting to buy some clothes and then come back," Chu Xinglan quickly said.

"Don't you know why we locked you up? You're all grown up now, you think you can just run away." Mrs. Chu didn't care that there were outsiders present and directly scolded Chu Xinglan angrily, "Let me tell you, your father and I take this marriage very seriously and will never let you do anything outrageous again."

“Auntie, this is your family matter, and I shouldn’t have interfered. But Lanlan is an adult now. She has the right to decide whether or not to get married, and who she wants to marry. You can’t force her like this.”

Shu Weiting couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Chu Xinglan.

“You’re an outsider, so don’t meddle in things that aren’t your business. Lanlan is my daughter, and I have the right to decide her life’s most important matters.”

Mrs. Chu was determined to marry Chu Xinglan into the Xiao family this time, and would no longer pretend to be friendly with Shu Weiting, the eldest daughter of the Shu family.

Shu Weiting was stunned. She had really crossed Mrs. Chu's line this time. Normally, Mrs. Chu would have given her some face because she was the eldest daughter of the Shu family, but today, Mrs. Chu showed her no respect at all.

Shu Weiting glanced at Chu Xinglan, looking helpless.

Chu Xinglan sighed softly.

"Tingting, you should go back now. I'll come see you when I have time."

"Alright then, take care." Shu Weiting had no choice but to leave.

Mrs. Chu watched Shu Weiting greet her and leave, and even her fake smile vanished.

After Shu Weiting left, Mrs. Chu glared at Chu Xinglan with an even more unfriendly expression. "You brat, do you think your little tricks can fool me? You think you can leave just by calling Shu Weiting? Don't dream. No one can take you away."

"Mom, I'm going upstairs." Chu Xinglan didn't say anything more and turned to go upstairs.

Mrs. Chu usually spends her free time playing mahjong and having afternoon tea with other wealthy women. Now, in order to keep an eye on Chu Xinglan, she has stopped playing mahjong and having afternoon tea altogether.

Chu Xinglan was locked in the house all day. Because she and Mrs. Chu couldn't stand each other, she simply stayed in her room and didn't come out. As long as Chu Xinglan didn't cause any trouble, Mrs. Chu was happy to have some peace and quiet and stopped bothering with her.

Chu Xinglan finished washing up early that evening and lay in bed when her phone rang. It was Gu Ye calling.

"Baby, why aren't you home yet, it's so late?" Gu Ye's voice was unusually gentle.

"I can't go back. I'm locked in my house, and I was just about to get married," Chu Xinglan said, her mood sour.
