Chapter 308 Ignoring Appearance
Adhering to the principle of seeing through things but not saying anything, the guard silently followed him upstairs.
Lu Youming found a seat closest to the two of them and began to silently observe Yan Meier.
"I'm sorry, Miss Yan, I'm late."
Gu Shuyan's voice rang out even before she arrived.
Looking in the direction of the person who came in, Gu Shuyan, dressed elegantly and refinedly, walked in. Unlike the childish and domineering Gu Shuyan I had seen before, Gu Shuyan, dressed in a different outfit, looked much more beautiful.
After more than half a year of recuperation, she has grown much taller and become much more mature, unlike when she was first seen at the Marquis of Jinning's residence, where she was weak and thin.
"Is this Miss Gu?" Lu Youming asked with some doubt.
To be honest, he had seen Gu Shuyan recently.
However, because the other party always wore an inconspicuous white or dark-colored outfit, he overlooked Gu Shuyan's true appearance.
In fact, Lu Youming wasn't the only one who overlooked this point. Everyone else in the capital did the same. All they saw was the thin and arrogant eldest daughter of the Gu family. Who noticed that the eldest daughter of the Gu family was also a stunning beauty?
Originally, Lu Youming only intended to use Gu Shuyan to win over the Gu family and gain their support. However, after seeing Gu Shuyan's ethereal appearance, Lu Youming's resistance disappeared.
Perhaps marrying such a woman wouldn't be bad. At least she could help him achieve great things, win his favor, and manage his household affairs well.
Gu Shuyan was well aware of Lu Youming's undisguised burning gaze. Having lived with this man for so many years, she knew his every move and even his reactions perfectly.
"Miss Gu, you're too kind. I'm a little early."
Yan Meier was very good at talking. Even though Gu Shuyan was deliberately late, her words made it seem like Gu Shuyan was in the wrong.
"I didn't want to trouble Miss Yan to make this trip, but considering that I don't have any good friends in the capital, and my sister-in-law is now a married woman and it's not appropriate for her to show her face in public, I have no choice but to trouble Miss Yan to make this trip."
As Gu Shuyan spoke, she put her arm around Yan Meier's hand, their intimate manner suggesting that she truly considered her a close friend.
Yan Meier was naturally delighted by this. She had originally intended to take this opportunity to get closer to Gu Shuyan, and since Gu Shuyan was willing, why wouldn't she?
"Miss Gu, you're being too polite. Just say the word and Mei'er will gladly oblige."
Yan Meier wore a flattering expression, seemingly oblivious to the fact that doing so was beneath the dignity of a young lady from a prominent family.
Watching the two chatting behind the screen, Lu Youming suddenly had an inexplicable thought.
If both of them married into his household, wouldn't they be able to enjoy his good fortune while avoiding the dirty infighting and backstabbing?
Once the thought took hold, Lu Youming couldn't suppress it. He even began to dream about the days when the two of them would marry into the family.
After beckoning to the guards and whispering a few words in their ears, Lu Youming regained his previous expression.
"Master, are you sure you want to do this?"
The guard looked at Lu Youming suspiciously. Wasn't their target the eldest daughter of the Gu family today? Why, according to your master's wishes, are you going to target Miss Luo first?
As the saying goes, it's hard to fathom the master's intentions, so the guard had no choice but to comply.
