Gu Mingyue has looked down on Lin Meier since she was a child; no, to be precise, she despises everyone in the Lin family.
But Lin Meier was like a leech that she couldn't get rid of. Because of her parents' death, she often stayed at the Gu family's house with Lin Yue'e, and even transferred to Gu Qinxue's school to be in the same class as her.
Gu Mingyue strongly suspects that a large part of the reason her younger sister and brother turned bad was because of her.
"Sister, don't be mean to Sister Lin. She just wants to ease the tension between us, and it's a good thing." Gu Qinxue tenderly defended Lin Meier.
Gu Mingyue turned her head and gave her a look as if she were an idiot: "Gu Qinxue, you always give me the feeling that you are sometimes shrewd and sometimes stupid."
“I’ve been warning you to stay away from Lin Meier since you were in elementary school. Do you think that’s why Mom insisted on taking you away from the Gu family?”
“When Lin Yue’e moved to the Gu family, my maternal grandfather drove my mother and me away from the Gu residence overnight, and then my maternal grandparents were killed in a car accident.”
"If you and Gu Zihao hadn't been crying and refusing to get on the car, you would have been inside. Didn't you suspect that the Lin family was behind this? If I were you, I wouldn't dare to be alone with this person!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinxue suddenly felt a chill run through her body, loosened her grip on Lin Meier, and took a half-step back.
Lin Meier noticed her movements and panicked. Was the fake friendship she had cultivated for over a decade about to crumble today?
She wouldn't allow that. She hadn't yet seen Gu Mingyue's pitiful, abandoned state!
Just as I was about to speak up and offer my opinion, a cup of milk tea was suddenly splashed on my back.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, miss, how much did your clothes cost? I'll pay for them." A young woman in a black uniform apologized to Lin Meier repeatedly, holding an empty cup.
"Your eyes..."
Realizing she shouldn't have used such language, Lin Meier quickly changed her words.
"This is a designer brand, one top costs over nine thousand, can you afford to pay for it?"
"She can't afford to pay, but I can. Take the money and get out of here."
Wearing sky-high heels and sporting a chic short haircut, Yu Shuyun exuded a powerful aura, brandishing a black card and issuing a commanding order to dismiss everyone.
They even called the mall security guards to escort the two of them upstairs to buy new clothes.
She was checking the mall's business upstairs when she glanced down and spotted Gu Mingyue, whose features were exquisite and dazzling, in the crowd. She walked back and forth near the three of them for a long time, but no one called her name.
When Gu Mingyue saw her, she was delighted and smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Shuyun, it's been a long time!"
"Are we that close? Don't think I'm here to get rid of Lin Meier for you. I just don't like them." Yu Shuyun raised her arrogant chin.
After their falling out, when Gu Mingyue secretly brought her brother back after he went missing in the pouring rain, Yu Shuyun wanted to reconcile. However, Gu Qinxue and Lin Meier gossiped behind her back, which brought their relationship back to a freezing point.
"Pfft!" A very short, suppressed laugh came from the secretary next to Yu Shuyun.
Yu Shuyun's sharp gaze swept over him, and the man quickly resumed his serious and focused demeanor.
Gu Mingyue smiled, her beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, radiating endless charm: "Then, Ms. Yu, who is both beautiful and capable, would you mind having lunch with us so we can get to know each other again?"
Yu Shuyun tried her best to suppress the smile that seemed to want to rival the moon, and turned to her secretary, saying, "Cancel the afternoon's schedule. Book the most expensive Chinese restaurant in Black Tiger City for me."
Inside the luxurious and elegant private room, beautiful waitresses carried out one famous dish after another and placed them on the table.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Yellow Croaker in Soup, Rock Sugar Snow Swallow, Bamboo Fungus and Liver Broth, Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish...
The table was filled with famous dishes from various provinces.
Gu Mingyue tasted them, and each dish was extremely authentic; the price must be high.
At first, Yu Shuyun maintained a haughty attitude, being the top young female tycoon in Black Tiger City, and ignored people like a ragdoll cat.
After a few glasses of baijiu, he clung to Gu Mingyue's curvaceous body as if he had inhaled catnip, his face flushed as he questioned her.
"Why didn't you contact me when something happened to your family? Do you think I'm petty? Just because they said a few bad things, you think I definitely wouldn't pay for your mother's medical treatment?"
"Hiccup~ You have no idea, that clothing store in your family that Lin Yue'e splashed with paint, in the entire Black Tiger City, apart from me, hiccup~ no one dares to buy from it, and... ugh..."
The secretary next to him wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, because no boss wants his employees to see him lose his composure.
Seeing that the boss was drunk and about to vomit, it would be unacceptable for an employee to pretend to be a wooden doll. These days, finding a female boss who won't cause gossip is like finding a grass root on a beach—it's extremely difficult!
They quickly took the person to the bathroom to vomit.
The dinner party didn't end until the sky was tinged with rosy clouds.
It took Gu Mingyue and her secretary working together to get Yu Shuyun, who was clinging to her like an octopus, into the car.
The accompanying butler, Mr. Li, couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the first time Miss has gotten this drunk since taking over the company!"
"It seems you've made up with my young lady."
Gu Mingyue nodded slightly, indicating that he guessed correctly.
After sending the person back to Yu Family Manor, Gu Mingyue was about to leave when she was stopped by Steward Li.
“Miss Gu, now that you have reconciled, I will not hide it from you anymore. My young lady has been silently watching over you all these years.”
"A few days ago, she found out that the spoiled brat from the Sun family has been holding a grudge ever since you rejected him, and he's been trying to sabotage you behind your back. You need to be careful of the strangers who keep appearing around you lately!"
...
After being reminded by Butler Li, Gu Mingyue observed for a few days and indeed discovered two groups of unfamiliar faces that frequently appeared at the entrance of her residential compound and near her company.
Taking advantage of the darkness, she took it all to the grove and relieved herself there.
With only seven days left until the meteor shower, Gu Mingyue went to the antique street again.
These days she travels to different provinces and stocks up on a lot of local specialty snacks.
Mixue Ice Cream's various drinks, snow lotus ice cubes, mini puddings, Shaxian snacks, and other inexpensive and plentiful items were given special attention.
There were few restrictions on coal, and the company bought 200 tons, enough for her to use for 100 years.
I visited slaughterhouses for pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese in every province, and bought all kinds of fish, shrimp, crabs, and eels...
Now only cold weapons are left to buy.
When the shop owner saw that a young and pretty girl had walked in, the smile on his face visibly faded.
"The unsharpened decorative swords are all here. Take your time to choose. I won't introduce them to you one by one. Just bring the one you like to the front desk."
The shopkeeper left as soon as he finished speaking. How many women genuinely like weapons? Most of them probably just wandered in on a whim while browsing.
He'd seen plenty of customers like that; he'd spend ages explaining things, only for the customer to just walk away and go to the next store.
"Are there any knives made of meteorites here?" Gu Mingyue asked.
"Made of meteorite? There really are some." Upon hearing this, the shop owner turned around and put on a big smile.
If someone specifically requests a meteorite material, this order is likely to be successful; there are always unsuspecting people who like to buy unique items to collect.
Although most of those things are useless, people still speculate on them, and the prices are not low!
