Jiang Yu was preoccupied with how to persuade Jiang Shuo to get rid of Shangguan Xue, so she didn't notice Gu Yilou's suppressed emotions.
When Jiang Yu entered the Zijinge Club and saw Shangguan Wu next to Qin Yiheng at the elevator entrance, her expression was very unpleasant.
Jiang Yu didn't want to enter the banquet hall with them, which is why she arrived ten minutes late.
Xiao Jingming smiled and deliberately asked, "Brother Gu, why didn't you come with Brother Qin this time?"
Qin Yiheng narrowed his eyes: "Isn't it enough that everyone's here? There are so many people tonight, why do you care when others come in? Are you too controlling, or have you become too powerful to hold back?"
When Gu Yilou saw Chen Xintong next to Qin Yiheng, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Does the fact that he brought his blind date with him mean he's committed?
Xiao Jingming's lips twitched violently twice, his tone full of helplessness: "I just asked casually, and you've already started to speculate about conspiracy theories. Brother Qin, there's a saying that goes, what people think in their hearts is what they see. You should think more about the good things."
Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow: "Does thinking about good things mean good things will happen?"
Before Xiao Jingming could speak, Qin Yiheng added, "I think the 'Alluring Beauty' perfume is quite good. Can I get a share?"
Xiao Jingming: "..."
This person is really taking advantage of us!
Want his "alluring beauty"? Dream on!
"Hehehe, tonight's banquet is all about romance, not work!"
Qin Yiheng saw that his fake smile was genuinely funny.
Xiao Jingming's smile almost froze. He glanced at Chen Xintong beside him and asked, "Brother Qin, aren't you going to introduce this lady?"
Qin Yiheng smiled and said four words: "My girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, the air seemed to freeze.
Seeing Gu Yilou's stunned expression, Shangguan Wu asked, "Big brother, when is Yun Zhen coming?"
She looked around but couldn't see Gu Yunzhen at all. Could it be that he wasn't coming?
That's not right. He sent her more than a dozen video call requests, and she didn't accept any of them. Shouldn't he be the one coming to arrest her?
Gu Yilou snapped out of his reverie and shook his head at her, saying, "He left this morning, and I don't know if he's come over or not. Fourth sister-in-law, why don't you give him a call?"
At this moment, Jiang Yu approached Shangguan Wu and asked, "Fourth sister-in-law, may I speak to you in private?"
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow: "Does sister-in-law know where my husband is?"
Jiang Yu pressed on: "It seems like Fourth Sister-in-law doesn't want to talk to me alone?"
This is interesting!
Does she really need to speak to her alone?
Since she had come to him, Shangguan Wu turned around and said with a smile, "Big brother, cousin, Sister Tong, my sister-in-law and I will go over there and chat for a bit!"
Jiang Yu's eyes flickered, and she took the lead in walking towards the sofa area in the corner of the banquet hall.
Shangguan Wu followed.
Suddenly, a man approached, and Shangguan Wu quickly took two steps to the side to avoid him.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!" Pei Kaiwen raised his hand to apologize to her.
Shangguan Wu said calmly, "It's nothing."
Jiang Yu glanced back, slowed her pace, and moved just close enough to hear their conversation.
Pei Kaiwen asked sincerely, "Miss, can you tell me your name? I almost bumped into you, I should treat you to a meal to apologize. Are you free tomorrow?"
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched slightly.
"I am Shangguan Wu. I am still a little unaccustomed to living in the capital after marriage, so I don't want to go out."
Pei Kaiwen exclaimed in surprise, "Married? You're married?"
Shangguan Wu nodded, pointed to Jiang Yu's back and said, "Yes, that's my sister-in-law up ahead."
"The eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family is your sister-in-law?" Pei Kaiwen picked at his ear. He couldn't have heard wrong, could he?
No matter which young master of the Gu family she marries, he can't afford to offend them!
"Sorry to bother you."
After finishing his sentence, Pei Kaiwen turned and left without hesitation, silently wishing his good friend well.
But as he passed through a certain place, Pei Kaiwen heard the name Shangguan Wu. He couldn't help but stop and approach to listen to the gossip.
"Shangguan Wu and Fourth Young Master are indeed in a contract marriage, that's for sure. Otherwise, why would a country girl like her, who grew up in the countryside, marry Fourth Young Master?"
"Just because of her face! She looks like a vixen, not respectable at all."
"I'll also tell you a secret: Shangguan Wu's uncle is under investigation by the higher-ups. The Shangguan family is definitely going to be in big trouble. Will Shangguan Wu still have the face to stay in the Gu family then? Once she divorces Fourth Young Master..."
Pei Kaiwen listened to things like contract marriage, village girls from the countryside, and investigations from higher authorities, and his facial expressions were quite varied.
He noticed that the woman next to him also had a complicated expression.
But Pei Kaiwen only glanced at it a couple more times before hurriedly turning around to find his good friend Su Xiangrui.
The woman he noticed was Shangguan Xinyi. She was quite happy to hear someone cursing Shangguan Wu, but when she heard that her father... no, Shangguan Xiong's father, had pushed her down the stairs, he was no longer her father!
Shangguan Xinyi felt much better after thinking about it this way, and she felt even more at ease hearing others call Shangguan Wu a vixen.
Shangguan Wu is an idiot!
She shouldn't have cured the Fourth Young Master's leg. Now look what's happened, a bunch of women are eyeing her and waiting for her to get a divorce. How stupid of her!
Shangguan Xinyi called Shangguan Wu stupid, and Shangguan Wu wanted to call Jiang Yu stupid too.
"Sister-in-law, even your own brother doesn't listen to you, do you think he'll listen to me?"
Jiang Yu retorted unhappily, "He's already bewitched by your older sister, how could he possibly listen to me!"
Fourth sister-in-law, now it's your turn to talk to your eldest sister and ask her to leave my brother. I'm begging you, please! My brother can't be ruined by your eldest sister!
