Chapter 251: The First Grand Secretary (13)
Liu Liu's face turned cold. "We were sent by Miss to serve Young Master Gu. As servants, we must know what we should and shouldn't do, what we should and shouldn't think. If we accidentally offend our master, we will be punished."
Qin Yuege's face turned pale upon hearing this. "That's not what I meant. Don't misunderstand me."
Even as she screamed inwardly: She is the female lead, she is Gu Sui's future wife, she will become the only wife of the Grand Secretary, and after she marries Gu Sui, your Shen family, you and that Qingqing and those maids and servants who bullied her will all be severely punished by her.
However, on the surface, Qin Yuege finally learned to restrain herself.
A moment of patience can lead to a brighter future; as long as the goal is achieved, that's all that matters.
After Liu Liu made arrangements for Qin Yuege, she also mentioned some rules, which was intentional. The things Liu Liu arranged for Qin Yuege to do were all things that did not involve contact with Gu Sui, which made Qin Yuege's face turn completely black.
Never mind, as long as she enters Mobai Courtyard, as long as she can marry Gu Sui in place of Shen Jiao, her current grievances are nothing.
Wen Wan was completely unaware of all of Qin Yuege's schemes.
After Wen Wan sent the female lead to Mo Bai Courtyard, she was soon invited to a gathering by the original owner's close girlfriends.
The gathering was to be held at the Lin family's residence. Lin Qiqi, the young lady of the Lin family, was best friends with the original owner of the body. If Wen Wan refused, it would definitely cause some unnecessary speculation. After thinking about it, Wen Wan decided to go to the gathering. Gui Zhi styled her young lady's hair into an exquisite updo that combined nobility and elegance. She wore a light blue dress to the gathering and also asked Gui Zhi to prepare a gift for her.
The Lin family was considered a prominent family in the neighboring county. Upon arriving at the Lin family's gate, Wen Wan was led by her maid to the back garden where the gathering was taking place. There were quite a few young ladies there, at least a dozen or twenty. Looking around, it was like entering a flower garden.
Lin Qiqi spotted her immediately and waved, "Ajiao, come here."
Wen Wan walked over, and Lin Qiqi pulled her arm, looking her up and down. "Ah Jiao is as charming as ever. I was worried that you would be affected by this lately."
Wen Wan stiffened slightly, but quickly relaxed and put on her acting skills, "I'm fine!"
"Then tell me honestly, is your relationship with Gu Sui real or fake? Didn't you say you wanted to break off the engagement? You even asked me for advice, so why did you suddenly change your mind?" Lin Qiqi whispered to Wen Wan, "Are you serious? Or is there some other reason?"
Wen Wan nodded. "Of course it's true. And I think Gu Sui is pretty good. I've thought about it a lot lately. He's good-looking, talented, and gentle. Most importantly, he's good to me. Isn't he better than those spoiled brats? Anyway, if I have to choose someone who's a good match, I'd rather choose him than those ugly ducklings. At least he's good-looking."
Lin Qiqi nodded. "Your Gu Sui isn't just good-looking, he's stunningly beautiful, like a god. What you said makes sense. And more importantly, you won't have to serve your in-laws. Once you marry into the Gu family, you'll be the only mistress of the house. It's not bad when you think about it. I'm envious of you. But I heard that Gu Sui's health is incurable?"
"The doctor examined him and advised that with proper care, he would recover." Without the Gu family's poisoning and destruction of his foundation, he certainly wouldn't have died young. The Gu family truly is a scourge.
Lin Qiqi: "That's good. There will probably be a lot of people bothering you later. Don't worry about me. Say whatever you want, and I'll clean up the mess for you. If anyone says anything bad about your Gu Sui, I'll kick her out."
Wen Yan: "..."
As expected of a best friend, it's no wonder that in the original work, she also earned a reputation for being arrogant and domineering, much like the original owner of the body. However, the ending was not written about her later.
Lin Qiqi was quickly called away by the other girls, Wen Wan sat in a corner drinking tea and eating pastries, and Gui Zhi stood to the side.
"Miss Chen." Several of her girlfriends walked over. Wen Wan swallowed the food in her mouth. Here they come, isn't he?
Take a sip of tea and get into the swing of things.
"Um."
"I heard that Miss Shen is going to marry Gu Sui? Has the date been set?"
Wen Wan: "No rush. Gu Lang has just lost both his parents, so naturally he needs to take good care of the Gu family's affairs. As for the wedding, we should choose a more suitable time."
"Then congratulations in advance. We originally thought Miss Shen was going to break off the engagement. After all, Gu Sui was kneeling at the door of the Shen family back then. At that time, we all thought that the Shen family was unwilling to fulfill the engagement because of the current situation of the Gu family. We didn't expect that we had misunderstood Miss Shen."
“My parents were initially unwilling, but they were moved by Gu Lang’s sincerity and liked him quite a bit as their son-in-law. My mother even treated Gu Lang like her own son.”
Wen Wan continued, "Moreover, Gu Lang's health is much better. The doctor said that as long as he takes good care of himself, he can recover his health. Gu Lang will also inherit the Gu family business soon. He is already the master of the Gu family. When I marry into the family, I will be the only mistress of the Gu family. Gu Lang also said that he will only like me and love me for the rest of his life. I am so happy."
The girls: "..."
Seeing Shen Jiao's satisfied and happy expression, they knew her personality; she would never compromise herself unless she was truly satisfied.
Thinking about it, Gu Sui isn't so bad, except for his weak health, but if it can be treated, then that problem won't exist.
She's beautiful, has no in-laws to serve, no concubines, and no extended family to deal with. With the Shen family as a solid support, she's destined to enjoy a life of happiness after marrying into the family.
Shen Jiao is so lucky.
After spending a considerable amount of time exchanging pleasantries with these people, the small gathering finally ended. By the time Wen Wan left, it was already dark, and Lin Qiqi saw Wen Wan off.
"Why don't you sleep with me tonight? We haven't slept together in a long time. After you and Gu Sui get married, I'm afraid I'll have even less of a chance."
Wen Wan: "Next time, maybe next time."
As she was being escorted to the door, a young woman next to her suddenly exclaimed, "Miss Chen, your Mr. Gu is here!"
Wen Wan looked up when she heard this. There was a carriage parked at the door, and Gu Sui was standing next to it. When he saw her, he smiled gently. Wen Wan could even hear the gasp of the person next to her. The lights outside were bright, but no night scene could compare to that one person.
Lin Qiqi gave Wen Wan a push, "Your man can really be considered a male savior, you better keep an eye on him, lest someone snatch him away."
"Then I'll be going now."
"Go ahead, go ahead, bring your partner over to play sometime."
Everyone watched as the usually proud and arrogant Shen Jiao, with a beaming smile, ran to Gu Sui like a fluttering butterfly and then threw herself into his arms.
They were all greatly shocked.
It seems this was indeed not a rumor, but a fact. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, and they looked as beautiful as a painting, so much so that they couldn't even feel jealousy, and they didn't even want to ruin the scene.
