“Lin Yu, the Xi family’s daughter-in-law has to be you, Lin Yu!” Han Yuan said sternly. “Remember, I don’t care what method you use, but you must hold onto
Xi Cheng’s heart. I’m handing my son over to you! You mustn’t let me down.”
Lin Yu hurriedly straightened her body and assured her, “Auntie, don’t worry! I’m a member of the Xi family in life and in death!”
Satisfied, Han Yuan added, “As for the Lin family, don’t worry. As long as the Xi family is around, we’ll definitely protect your family for you. Our families are united; it’ll be better for you and Xi Cheng’s child if the Lin family does well!” When she heard that, Lin Yu was so grateful that she wanted to kowtow to Han
Yuan.
Meanwhile, the Gu family members reacted differently to what’d happened; some were shocked, some sighed, and some were overjoyed.
Yun Liu sent a message to Tan Ning while nobody was looking. She had to sell such explosive news for a good price as soon as possible. Not only could she make a small profit, but this would also be a hit to Yun Innovations. It would be killing two birds with one stone!
After sending the message off, Yun Liu obediently followed behind her mother,
Zheng Xiu, to watch the show. Chang Hui was the most surprised and stated, “Gu Man, to think that the Xi family’s youngest son actually kept a woman on the side. Oh my, what an embarrassing situation this is for the Xi family. I wouldn’t want to be in Lin Yu’s shoes! Hahahaha!”
Chang Hui couldn’t help but laugh. Gu Man pouted disdainfully and commented, “Lin Yu doesn’t care about such things, hmph! That woman is very skilled at tolerance; she would endure it even if Xi Cheng had a current girlfriend, let alone an ex-girlfriend. She’s the very model of a dutiful wife! You guys should see how humble she is before Xi Cheng; she’s such a disgrace to women!”
“So, does Xi Cheng like her?” Gu Xiang asked curiously.
Gu Man boiled with jealousy at the mention of Lin Yu. She pouted even harder and answered, “Of course not! Xi Cheng’s family forced him to get engaged to her, and he has no choice but to marry her in the future! That girl’s lucky; she’s nowhere near worthy of Xi Cheng. Who would want to marry a girl like her? She’d have to do her best to show her loyalty to my godmother this time or risk losing her position as Xi Cheng’s fiancée!”
“Xi Cheng’s ex-girlfriend is Fang Xi, the partner of the entertainment company Yun Innovations,” Yun Liu said timidly. “She’s quite famous in the industry.”
Yun Liu’s words immediately attracted everyone’s attention. “What’s this? She’s actually a successful career woman?”
“I think she’s rather beautiful. She’s prettier than Lin Yu!”
“Hey, do you think she was here to trash the party? Mrs. Xi doesn’t seem to like her at all!”
“She came here with a tall and handsome man. She doesn’t look like she was here to cause trouble… Now that Yun Liu mentioned it, I remember seeing her together with Xiang Yang and the others.”
Yun Liu softly remarked, “The young man with her is the Ye family’s young master, Ye Kun. He’s very close friends with Xi Cheng, along with Shi Nian and Liang Han.”
When she brought up Liang Han, Yun Liu unconsciously lowered her eyes. ‘He’s the wealthy husband candidate Tan Ning had chosen for me. As long as I can nab Liang Han, I’ll gain a stable foothold in the upper-class society circles,’ Yun Liu thought.
‘ With the Yun family backing me and the Gu family as my background, my life will be perfect when I marry into the Liang family and become their young mistress. And now, I even have the opportunity to destroy Yun Nan and her company. Someone up there is truly looking out for me!’
‘FangXi is Yun Nan’s soft spot. Fang Xi is definitely done for this time. Ha! If Fang Xi is finished, so is that wretched girl, Shi Xiu! ICs just a shame that even ifShi Xiu retires from the entertainment industry, she’ll still live a life others could only dream of. But at least she wouldn’t stand in my way anymore,’ Yun Liu mentally reassured herself.
Chang Hui listened to the girls’ chatter, and an idea gradually came to her. “All you unmarried girls, listen up—especially you, Gu Man. You’ve been here longer than the others, so you’ll take the lead. There’s a great opportunity before you all. There are many wealthy young men here. You’ve all complained that White City is a small place with too few high-society families and rich young heirs. There’s no shortage of eligible young bachelors here in Rong City, so it’s up to you to get yourself a good catch!”
“Do your best, girls, and don’t say we didn’t give you all a chance! Do you girls understand? I only have one request: don’t forget that you’re a member of the Gu family. Feel free to use whatever methods you need to, whether it’s shameless or not because as long as the Gu family is around and as long as you’re working for the Gu family, we will be your staunch backers!”
The Gu family’s unmarried daughters looked at each other with eager expressions. Seeing this, Gu Man felt nervous and blurted out, “Hey, you guys aren’t allowed to make a move on Xi Cheng!”
Chang Hui raised her eyebrows and smiled slyly as she said, “Our Gu Man has good taste. I’m glad my teachings haven’t gone to waste. Are you planning to steal Xi Cheng from Lin Yu?”
Gu Man whined, “Oh, come now, auntie. The word ‘steal’ is so unpleasant. I’m not stealing anything; it’s not like Xi Cheng is married, is he?”
Chang Hui understood and said, “Our Gu Man certainly has good taste..”
