Yang Ruxuan snapped out of her daze, forced herself to let go, and forced a smile.
"It's really funny. The Gu family has made a huge fool of themselves because of this."
"But then again, if we could get in touch with the Gu family through that delivery guy, that would be a pretty good way."
Mr. Wang nodded in agreement.
This incident has caused the Gu family to lose face terribly.
Yang Ruxuan's heart skipped a beat.
She got involved with the Gu family through that woman. In her past life, quite a few people actually gave her gifts, all in an attempt to get close to the Gu family.
"I have a bit of a headache and I'd like to go inside and rest for a bit."
She stood up, her silk robe billowing behind her.
Wang Jianguo waved casually, his attention already back on his phone.
Yang Ruxuan went into the bedroom, closed the door, and lay on the bed in a daze.
She still remembers the first time she met Gu Yanqing.
In the spacious living room of the Gu family, the beautiful young man sat by the window, the sunlight outlining a halo around him, like an angel fallen to earth.
At that moment, Yang Ruxuan, who walked into the living room, not only saw the Gu family's wealth and status, but also their beauty untouched by worldly corruption.
Yang Ruxuan thought she could be the one to save him, just like in those movies, becoming the only light in his closed world.
She learned about autism and memorized all his habits and preferences.
Tolerate his silence, rigid behavior, and occasional emotional outbursts.
All these efforts couldn't earn him his attention.
Now, a food delivery worker, without having to do anything, seems to have become the center of Gu Yanqing's world.
"This is so unfair..."
Yang Ruxuan muttered to herself.
If she had persisted in this life, would she be the one standing beside Gu Yanqing now?
That man stole her rightful place, leaving her now forced to feign compliance with this old man.
Memories of her past life resurfaced: Madam Gu's condescending gaze, the whispered mockery of the Gu family servants, and the humiliation of being kicked out of the Gu family.
Why is this life different?
Yang Ruxuan picked up her phone and dialed a number.
"Hello?"
A lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mrs. Zhang, it's me, Xiao Yang."
"Well... I heard about what's been going on with the Gu family lately..."
Yang Ruxuan tried her best to make her voice sound relaxed.
Mrs. Zhang, the woman who humiliated her at the party, is also the most notorious gossip in the circle.
"Oh, Xiao Yang."
"You mean that delivery guy thing? Oh my, you're right, the Gu family has really become the laughing stock in our circle this time."
"That girl must have used some kind of trick to bewitch the young master of the Gu family."
As soon as this gossip came up, Mrs. Zhang didn't care who this young Yang was, and her tone immediately became enthusiastic.
"Don't the Gu family care? Can Madam Gu tolerate this kind of thing?"
Yang Ruxuan's nails dug deeply into her palms.
"It's said they tacitly approved it, and even bought that poor girl a lot of things!"
"I heard that girl is very capable and has Young Master Gu completely under her thumb."
"If you ask me, the most terrifying girls are those who climb up from the bottom. They'll do anything for money, they'll take advantage of someone's weakness and kill them!"
Mrs. Zhang lowered her voice, as if sharing some major secret.
Every word was like adding fuel to Yang Ruxuan's anger.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Ruxuan paced back and forth in the room. She opened the liquor cabinet, poured herself a glass of whiskey, and drank it all in one gulp.
A plan slowly took shape in her mind.
Since that woman can easily obtain what she couldn't get no matter how hard she tried, she'll make that woman taste the bitterness of loss.
