Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 555: You should treat our son-in-law well

Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang decided to leave Yunze City.

Because the affair of the Honorable Secret Technique of the Fulman family no longer remained a secret.

For safety, and fearing the covetous glances of those around them, the Jiang Family decided to move out of Yunze City.

And Jiang Ruolin found them a house in Shencheng.

When Jiang Dad and his wife saw the large flat their daughter had shown them, they couldn’t help but ask Jiang Ruolin, "Are you sure you’ve already told your husband about the secret technique? You better not be deceiving us, after all, it’s the ’Honorable’ Secret Technique."

"Yes, it’s the only Honorable Secret Technique that Emperor Reese improved and evolved to challenge the Emperor-Sealing level, although it can’t compare with the ’Emperor-level’ Secret Technique, it still exists at a sub-emperor level," Mrs. Jiang also doubted her daughter’s words, "I know you are wholeheartedly devoted to the family and even seek revenge, but this thing shouldn’t belong to us in the first place. You should report the truth to Feng. I’ve heard that the Secret Technique of the Cold Moon Sect which the Gu Family practices is still an incomplete version, if you hand this Secret Technique over to the Gu Family, it can secure your position within the family, and we could also live peacefully in the future."

The two of them suspected that Jiang Ruolin might covet the Secret Technique for herself and intentionally not tell Gu Feng, wishing to keep it within the family.

According to their understanding of the Gu Family, there was no reason for them not to crave the ’Honorable’ Secret Technique.

Because during the glorious peak period of the Gu Family, namely during the era of Emperor Qingxue, they only ever possessed the respected Secret Technique. If their daughter offered this Secret Technique to the Gu Family now, her status within the family would surely rise significantly.

"Dad, Mom, what kind of person do you take me for?" Jiang Ruolin laughed and cried, "I’m not lying to you, this really was Gu Feng’s idea. Otherwise, for such a big matter that’s spread throughout the entire Cultivation World, there’s no way I could keep it from the Gu Family, right? This means they must already be aware of it. If Gu Feng couldn’t handle it, he would have approached me to demand it by now."

Inwardly, Jiang Ruolin scoffed to herself: They had already given me an Emperor-level Secret Technique to cultivate, it’s understandable they wouldn’t care for the Honorable Secret Technique.

She pointed to the large flat they were in: "It’s not just that Gu Feng wants you to have these things, this house too was found by him for you. If this weren’t his idea, do you think I’d have the ability to secure you a house in Shencheng?"

Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang exchanged a glance.

That made sense.

But still, they felt that the ’Honorable’ Secret Technique was too precious.

And then there were those 500 million Spirit Stones.

"Let’s return the Spirit Stones to Feng, we don’t need so much money, and being such a big family as the Gu Family, they must surely consume a huge amount of Spirit Stones daily."

With that, the couple took out the Storage Ring and told Jiang Ruolin, "Take this, give it to your husband; as for the Secret Technique, if anyone from their family wishes to cultivate it, they can come to us when needed, and we can return it to the Gu Family."

Jiang Ruolin, with a wry smile, stood with her hands on her hips in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, suddenly unsure how to convince her parents.

In fact, her mindset before was quite similar to her parents’, having never ’eaten fine wheat’ in this life, so the generosity Gu Feng had shown was somewhat beyond her comprehension.

After all, the most glorious time for the Jiang Family was when they reached a Level 8 Cultivation Family by relying on an ’Earth-level’ Secret Technique.

In those days, with fewer than fifty members in the family, yearly revenue of 1 billion Spirit Stones in income was enough to support the daily cultivation expenses of the whole family luxuriously.

And people like Jiang Ruolin were second-tier members of the family who had never seen grand battles or had any edge within the family.

Having harbored no expectations of reviving the family in this lifetime and having resigned myself to mediocrity, imagine suddenly receiving resources far surpassing the family’s peak. Anyone would feel like they were dreaming, unsettlingly so.

"Dad, Mom, in truth, I bear a greater burden in accepting these things than you could imagine, but Gu Feng insisted they were for you, and I had no choice," Jiang Ruolin said.

She had already obtained an "Emperor-level" Secret Technique.

Moreover, with Gu Feng’s attentive care, Jiang Ruolin felt that even at the end of the world, she wouldn’t find a second man like him.

So when Gu Feng expressed his wish to give all the compensation for this job to her parental home, what Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang didn’t know was that Jiang Ruolin had already refused him. But he was indifferent and insisted he didn’t want it, and the reason why Jiang Ruolin hadn’t replied to her family for several days was that she was being stubborn with Gu Feng.

It was only after Gu Feng had persuaded her that she relayed the message to her parents.

Then her parents pulled this stunt, and Jiang Ruolin awkwardly tried to explain to them, "Dad, Mom, the Gu Family isn’t as poor as you think. Anyway, I heard from Gu Feng that ever since they took over the properties from the former Murong Envoy, they earn more than two billion Spirit Stones a day."

"That much?" Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang were astonished.

Jiang Ruolin placed their luggage in the corner and Mrs. Jiang, with concern, asked her, "My dear, what’s the situation with you and Feng now? Are you really considered part of the Gu Family?"

"Of course," Jiang Ruolin jingled the wedding ring in her hand, "See, this is the wedding ring he gave me. Now I’m as chaste as any married woman when I’m away from home."

Mrs. Jiang hesitated, as if holding back words, "I mean... did he take you to the Gu Family ancestral home? I don’t recall you ever calling on the Gu family members. The marriage seems a bit ambiguous. Were you not planning on having a ceremony? Even if it’s a concubine’s position, there should be a ceremony for that."

"I didn’t let him have one," Jiang Ruolin said, feeling guilty.

Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang looked at her puzzled.

Jiang Ruolin said with embarrassment, "He obviously wanted to give me a proper wedding, a ceremony with the involvement of the Gu family members. But I felt uneasy facing his kin— after all, the Gu Family, having once been opulent and bound by deep traditional codes, is a major family. I worried Gu Feng might be unable to hold his head high because of me, so I was afraid of meeting the Gu family members and have been delaying. I want to wait until I have some strength of my own before visiting the Gu Family to meet his elders."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruolin’s parents understood her line of thought.

It was only human nature.

Daughters of major families would marry into prominent families to seek resources and benefits for their household.

While women of non-direct lineage were often married off to less distinguished families as a means of investment and attracting potential vassal families.

Therefore, the Gu Family, being a Level 10 Cultivation Family, should have arranged for Gu Feng to marry at least a woman from a Level 12 Cultivation Family in a strategy fitting the family’s growth.

It wasn’t that their daughter wasn’t accomplished, but in real terms, the Jiang Family was not yet qualified for an equal matrimonial alliance with the likes of the Gu Family.

From this point of view, Gu Feng, as Jiang Ruolin said, indeed bore great pressure on behalf of his family.

"With Feng under so much pressure still considering our family," Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang looked at each other, then sternly warned Jiang Ruolin, "You girl, make sure to treat your husband well. Don’t think you can be wilful and petulant just because you’re young. If you ever do something to wrong Feng, we’d rather disown our daughter than not stand by his side."
