“Mom,Are the high position and great wealth really more important than your daughter’s happiness?”

Hearing that,Tang’s mother was angry andpokedTang Yao’s forehead. What a shiftless daughter? She thought.

“Tang Yao,don’t give me all that lecture about happiness. It’s the Gu family that provide you with the life you live today. Look at all the property of their family! Shaoze hooked up with another woman,so what? How could you ever have the right to say something about him? You couldhave had a baby by yourself. It has been so many years that you donot get pregnant. It’s nice of them not to kick you out of the house.”

Speaking of children,Tang’smother patted Tang Yao’s stomach. “All women can give birth. You are not even better than a hen. At least they can have eggs.You’d better stick with Shaoze. Do not get divorce.If you do that,I will hangmyselfdirectly in front of you.”

Tang Yao’s face was cold.She just drily looked at her mother.

The mother felt a little guilty when seeing she looked at her like this. Butwhen she thought of Tang Yao’s performance in the Gu’s,she just felt irritated.

“Better cheer up when go downstairs to have dinner. Say something nice to your mother-in-law. Don’t act like a dead fish.”She constantly lecturedTang Yao.

Looking at Tang Yao’s cold face,themother was angry and anxious,but also knew that Tang Yaowas their money-spinner. If she cursed her toomuch,maybe Yao would have a reverse mind,so she eased the tone.

“Yao Yao,Mom just said that for your good. Love is fantasy,not as good as money. You must stick with Shaoze. even if he has a bastardoutside,it is nota big deal as long as you own all the property of the Gu’s.”

Tang Yaotook out her hand without anyexpression,and ask her mother to go out. She wanted to have a rest.

Tang’s mother was angry,butlookingat the exhaustion of Tang Yao,she was finally aware that she was a mother too.

“Then you go rest first. Remember to please your mother-in-law at dinner. As long as she is happy,your life will be better at Gu’s.”

Tang Yaodid not answer,but the atmosphere around herbecame even colder.

The mother humiliated herself so leftsoon.

Tang Yaohadbeen standing by the window,thinking nothing in hermind,just looking at the scenery outside.

At dinner,Tang Yaodid not see the eyes of her mother,but only concentrated on eating the dishes in front of her,and did not talk to Gu Shaoze beside her.

At the other side,Mrs. Gu wasgave Gu shaozea soup eagerly.

Gu shaozetook a sip and felt that it tasted good,so he gave Tang Yao one more soup.

“Yao Yao,drink this. Fish soup cannourishthe body.”

Tang Yaolooked at the extra bowl,looked chilly,pushed the bowl slightly to otherside,and then concentrated on eating the rice in herbowl.

“Pa”,Mrs. Gu dropped her chopsticks.

“Mom,if you don’t like the food,I can askthe chef cookanother one.” Gu shaozelooked at Mrs. Gu and said.

Mrs. Gu took a deep breath and flashed a warning glance at Tang Yao,and then picked up the chopsticks again.

“Nothing,you eat more.”She said.Gu shaozenodded.

“Yao Yao,there is a charity galatomorrow night,organized by Jinfamily of Jin City. Go with me.”

“I have somethingto dotomorrow.”

“No matter what,put off your business. You are my wife,going with me to meet some people. It will help your work.”

Tang Yaowas silent and did not respond.

“Brother,I am going with you. Actually I got some feelings about the second son of the Jingfamily. You can help to introduce me to him.”Gu Shaoyun said.

Gu shaozefrowned,but nodded.

“Tang Yao,my brotherbought you a lot of good-looking clothes not long ago. Borrow a few dresses to me. Anyway,the clothes would not look any good on you bumpkin.”Gu Shaoyun held her chopsticks and said scornfully with some provocation.

Gu shaoze’s face turneddarkand warned Gu Shaoyun. “Shaoyun,she is your sister-in-law. If youkeep being rude like this,you won’t get a chance to go to the gala with us.”

Gu Shaoyun bit herlip and felta little unfair. “Iknow. Youalwaysprotecther. I don’t see there’s anything good of her.”

After dinner,Gu shaozecalled someone to send a few nice evening dresses to the house. He wanted to elaborately dress up Tang Yao.

The workersquickly sent the clothes over.

Gu shaozeheldTang Yao’s hand,took her tothe hanger and matched the clothes with her body.

“Yaoyao,you are in good shape. Every dressI prepared for you is in accordance withyour temperament. You just pick whatever you like.” Gu shaozesaid.

Tang Yaolooked at all these clothes,and was dazzled fora while. However,all the sweet feelings of her heart disappeared like the firewhich wasputout by aheavy rain.

“Gu shaoze,I’m a little tired. I don’t want to go to that gala.Let Shaoyun go with you.”

“Yao Yao,don’t grouch. This dinner host askseveryoneto bring a partnerto the gala. You can’t let me go alone.”

Tang Yaocompressed herlips and finally chose a black diamond-studded evening gown.

Justas shepickedit up,Gu Shaoyun knocked on the door and walked in. She lookedat the black dress on the bed,strode forward and directly picked it up and wanted to try it on.

“Brother,I like this one.”

Gu shaozefrowned,just about to say something,Tang Yaosaid coldly,”This is not for you. It doesn’t fit you.”

Gu Shaoyun was angry and took the clothes directly into the fitting room. She wore it and then looked at the mirror.

Sure enough,the gownwasa bit big and her chest was a little small– it looked like a curious child trying to wearthe adult’s clothes.

“Takeit off. You are not as plump as Yao Yao. It doesn’t look good on you.” Gu shaozesaid.

The more he said,the more Gu Shaoyun washolding onthis dress. “Big brother,I like this one. I will take it back to matchmy jewelry and shoes.”

She walked away with the gown on her body,and turned around halfway to cunningly looked at Tang Yao.

“Tang,forgot to tell you. Chen Yuan will go to the banquet. You’d better not go there if you feel ashamed. Don’t make a fool of yourself and then run away from home again.”

After that,Gu Shaoyun left the bedroom in a good mood.

Tang Yaoclenched herfists and herjoints slightlyturned pale.

Gu shaozewanted to hold her hand but was shaken away by herreflexively.

“Yao Yao.”

Gu shaozelooked at the emptyhand,and there was a faint disappointment in his voice.

Tang Yao,looking at this prevously familiar but now strange face,curled herlips and sneered.

“Gu shaoze,I will go to this dinner party,” she said.

Notfor anything else,she just didn’t want to be defeated by Chen Yuan. Even if she ends up with divorce,she should let those people see that she was not a poor woman who gotabandoned.

Gu shaoze’s eyes flashed joy,thinking that Tang Yaowasn’t childishany more.

“Yao Yao,I think this pink-and-yellow dress is more suitable for your skin color and temperament. Youwillbe the brightest and most beautiful woman in the crowdtomorrow night.”

He took a pink dress and tried it on Tang Yao’s body and felt it was perfect for her.

Tang Yaohad no interest,just looking at Gu shaozeand thinking somethingelse.

She now felt harder to understand Gu shaoze. Since Chen Yuan would go to this party,why didhe want to take her?

When the people present there sawthree of themat the same time,there wouldonly be endless rumors and gossips.
