Witness #176: Was he complaining that the green hat wasn't bright enough?
"Thank you, Miss Gu. Thank you, Miss Gu."
It's quite remarkable that a girl with no skills could establish herself in Xiangcheng using her beauty and massage techniques.
Although the boss lady is a bit harsh, at least the business of Hongyan is run normally, unlike the Lanyan across the street, which always forces its employees to do prostitution.
"You're welcome. Okay, give me an aromatherapy spa, then go book a hair appointment and sign up for a yoga class."
Gu Mingxia lay on the massage bed. Having achieved her goal for the day, she no longer had much lingering attachment to her lover, so she simply closed her eyes and took a nap.
It was already afternoon when Gu Mingxia came out of Hongyan. Her neat medium-length hair and black sunglasses made her look very powerful.
"Xiao Yan, are you done with your work at the company?"
"You're all done with your work, so what's up?"
"Come pick me up for dinner when you're done, I'm hungry."
"Okay, you wait for me there."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Mingxia looked at the crowds coming and going on the pedestrian street with boredom. A dozen minutes later, Xiao Yan wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
"Hmm, you smell wonderful. Are you planning to seduce me tonight?"
"You pervert, who wants to seduce you! You've only been awake for a short time, taking good care of your health is the most important thing, stop thinking about such nonsense, okay?"
Gu Mingxia casually slapped Xiao Yan's arm and smiled faintly. Xiao Yan did not refute her words, but instead took her hand and the two walked out of the pedestrian street together.
"You didn't buy any clothes?"
"I already ordered it when I got my hair done, and they will deliver it to my home tomorrow."
"You've become lazy; you don't like going shopping anymore."
"It's so hot, who would go out shopping for no reason? If I like a style, I can just make a phone call and someone will deliver it to my door. Why would I choose to suffer instead of enjoying the good life?"
"Anyway, you always have your reasons."
"Hmph, are you trying to say I'm domineering?"
"You are my Queen, how could I say you're domineering? However, it's also great that you'd save your shopping time to spend with me!"
Xiao Yan put his arm around Gu Mingxia's waist and quickly arrived at the car. As he opened the car door, he looked at her intently.
Where would you like to eat tonight?
"Hmm... how about we go to Fu Gui Ren Jia for seafood? When I was getting my hair done, I heard people say that their lobster, abalone, and fish maw are really good."
"good."
After the two got into the car, they drove towards the wealthy family's residence. Gu Mingxia sat in the car, constantly looking up information about her male confidant on her phone.
Sure enough, she found someone on a small forum saying that the male friends were quite good, but they also served many wealthy men in the city. Gu Mingxia smiled slightly as she scrolled through her phone and talked to Xiao Yan beside her.
"Little Swallow, have you ever heard of a 'blue confidant'?"
Is it the antonym of "beautiful woman"?
Without a second thought, the adorable little swallow replied to Gu Mingxia, who sighed helplessly.
"A new beauty salon that opened on the pedestrian street is called Blue Face."
"Oh, I'm not a woman, how would I know so much about beauty salons?"
Don't be ridiculous. He's too busy with company matters to have time to worry about beauty salons. Besides, does someone as handsome as him need to go to a beauty salon?
"I heard that there are many handsome men and beautiful women in the 'Blue Friend' club, which specializes in providing escort services for wealthy wives and rich young men. Be honest, have you ever been there?"
"What a joke! None of those women who sell themselves are as good as my wife. Why would I go out and sleep with other women when I have such a beautiful, capable wife? Do you think I'm some big-name director?!"
As Xiao Yan said this, he couldn't help but smile at Gu Mingxia, who gave him a big eye roll.
"When I was getting a massage at Hongyan, I found out that Qin Yueru had been patronizing Lanyan for the past six months. Rumor has it that she has a very ambiguous relationship with the boss of Lanyan. According to Hongyan's employees, the way the two of them look at each other is like that of wild cats in heat."
"A horny owl? Xiaxia, you've seen that before? I don't mind you looking at me like that every day!"
"You rascal, I'm talking to you seriously!"
Gu Mingxia rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan, then continued looking up information on her phone. Xiao Yan reached out and touched her face, then turned a corner, and the car entered the gate of the wealthy family's house. After parking the car, Gu Mingxia put away her phone, and the two of them got out together.
What do you want to eat tonight?
"They ordered everything they could get, and they only ate a little at noon. Now they're starving!"
Gu Mingxia linked arms with Xiao Yan, and the two walked into the hotel chatting and laughing. However, as soon as they entered, they saw Qin Yueru sitting by the window in a white dress, and opposite her sat a stylish young man. The way the two looked at each other was so intense that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as infatuated.
"Oh, isn't this the Fourth Madam? What a coincidence, to run into her here."
Gu Mingxia shrugged off Xiao Yan and quickly walked to Qin Yueru's seat. She understood perfectly what it meant to have eyes like a wildcat in heat when she saw Qin Yueru.
"What a coincidence! I never expected to run into Miss Gu while having a meal. What, should I get up and greet you?"
Although Qin Yueru said this, she leaned back in her chair and looked at Gu Mingxia with a sarcastic gaze.
She would never forget the two slaps Gu Mingxia gave her in the hospital, and those humiliating words.
Yesterday, after hearing that she went back to her home to complain to that old man, and was then scolded away by him, Qin Yueru was overjoyed.
That evening, the old man, unusually, went to her place to speak kindly to her. He told her that he believed her and that she shouldn't be angry because of Gu Mingxia's words. He also gave her a black card with unlimited credit. At that moment, Qin Yueru knew that although the old man wasn't very close to her, he couldn't do without her.
So this afternoon she started asking her young boyfriend out on dates again. Since the old man trusts her, why should she be afraid of Gu Mingxia anymore?
"Fourth Madam, won't you introduce this handsome man? It would be nice if I could meet your friend!"
Ignoring Qin Yueru's sarcasm, Gu Mingxia instead focused her gaze on the young man opposite her. He looked to be no more than twenty years old, his face radiating youthful energy, and he was undeniably handsome, much like the currently popular actor Li Yifeng. No wonder Qin Yueru would be attracted to such a young man.
“I think our social circles are very different. You’re someone who hangs out with men, so it’s not really appropriate for you to get to know my friends who are women. Don’t you think so, Miss?”
As soon as Qin Yueru finished speaking, the young man opposite her couldn't help but burst out laughing. Was she implying that this beautiful and assertive woman was essentially a man at heart, and therefore unsuitable to get to know people in women's circles?
"So this handsome man is considered a homosexual by the Fourth Madam! No wonder the old master trusts the Fourth Madam so much."
"You... let me tell you, Gu Mingxia, stop complaining about me to the old man. He's said he won't believe a word you say. When he's feeling better, he'll marry me, and then I'll be Mrs. Gu in the right!"
"Then I hope that Fourth Madam's wish will be fulfilled!"
The old man's health will probably never recover! Qin Yueru, you just wait and see!
However, Gu Mingxia still felt a little sad when she heard that Gu Huaikun wanted to marry her. She felt that no matter how much the old man was a womanizer, the title of Mrs. Gu should only belong to her mother. But yesterday he was looking at photos and reminiscing about his first wife, and now he was saying he wanted to marry someone else. Even if it was just for show, Gu Mingxia found it hard to accept!
"By then, even if the young lady is unwilling, she'll probably have to call me 'Auntie'!"
"you……"
"Xiaxia, let's go eat over there!" Xiao Yan walked to Gu Mingxia's side, put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "This is a restaurant, calm down."
Xiao Yan's reminder instantly calmed Gu Mingxia's excited mood, and she revealed an elegant smile.
"It won't be too late for me to call you 'Auntie' when Fourth Madam gets what she wants!"
After saying that, she walked to another seat with Xiao Yan. Qin Yueru watched her figure and snorted heavily. In the end, the Gu family was still ruled by the old man. As long as the old man acknowledged her identity, why should she be afraid of this outsider who was about to get married?
"Look at her smug look on her face. The old man must have gone to great lengths to coax her last night!"
"Only a fool would believe that a man wouldn't care if his woman cheated on him, even if it was a woman he didn't love! Xiaxia, she won't be a threat to you, because she's stupid enough!"
While ordering food, Xiao Yan talked to Gu Mingxia. Gu Mingxia looked at Qin Yueru, who was smugly sitting by the bed, and snorted coldly.
"Now that she has the old man's trust, she's acting blatantly. What do you think the old man is really thinking?"
"Let's close the net and wait for a big fish!"
As a man, Xiao Yan seemed to be able to understand Gu Huaikun's actions. He was willing to tolerate Qin Yueru being seen with other men because he was waiting for the person behind Qin Yueru. Otherwise, no man could tolerate his woman being seen with other men.
"oh?"
"Regardless of what Uncle Gu thinks, the most important thing is for you to stay calm and follow Uncle Gu's lead. Don't act impulsively!"
"I really don't know what this old man is thinking! Could there be someone else hiding behind Qin Yueru's secret?"
"Maybe! We're here to eat, let's not think about these spoils of the mood, okay?"
"No, how can a man who cares so much about his image tolerate his woman openly seeing other men? Does he think the green hat isn't conspicuous enough?"
