Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Look, How Lowly You Are

The moment Su Meixi saw Fang Xin, her whole body shuddered.

Qiu Yurou did it on purpose!

She was reminding Su Meixi of her background, and if Su Meixi dared to acknowledge anything in front of everyone, the Gu family would certainly become the laughingstock of the guests.

With such background, she was only fit to do the lowest level of work!

At that instant, Su Meixi wanted to leave the Gu family.

She didn’t want to fight with Qiu Yurou anymore, nor did she care about her future with Gu Wei. If there was discord with her mother-in-law, so be it—just never interact again.

She remained silent for a full 5 minutes.

During these 5 minutes, she thought about her future with Gu Wei.

If she left now, it would mean she had openly broken with Qiu Yurou.

The next time she saw Qiu Yurou, she would be utterly defeated. Qiu Yurou would look down on her triumphantly, “See, you are so lowly, just a mere display of Fang Xin and you flee in panic!”

She took a deep breath, then clenched her fists.

No, she couldn’t lose!

She continued to work silently.

When the venue setup was almost done, Qiu Yurou and Qiu Wényīn came down.

The two were wearing delicately made-up faces and aptly dressed in gowns, both noble and proud.

Qiu Yurou inspected the venue and after finding the arrangements satisfactory, she ordered Mdm. Zhang to arrange the following tasks.

The subsequent work was to welcome and serve the guests.

Mdm. Zhang gathered all the staff, instructing everyone to be extremely careful, meticulously handle their duties, and warning that if any guest was offended, no one would receive their day’s wages.

Su Meixi was assigned to the food serving team, responsible for serving dishes to the guests, basically carrying plates.

“Ah Xi?”

During assembly, Fang Xin recognized Su Meixi, “Why are you also working here? Aren’t you at the hospital being a doctor?”

For a moment, Su Meixi didn’t know how to respond.

Seeing someone talking, Mdm. Zhang couldn’t help saying, “Go work, there should be no talking on site, or else wages will be deducted!”

Su Meixi told Fang Xin, “I’ll explain to you later.”

…

Zhou Yuan also got up.

There was a party today, so she spent a long time dressing up, and after she was ready, she went to find Su Meixi.

Before, when she attended parties, there was no one to talk to, but today with Sister Su there, it would definitely not be boring.

She knocked several times on the door of Su Meixi’s room but got no answer, and just as she turned around, she saw Mdm. Zhang.

Mdm Zhang asked with a smile, “Miss Zhou, are you looking for the Young Madam?”

“Mm, where did Sister Su go?”

Mdm. Zhang smiled, “The Young Madam is helping outside. We are short of hands today, and since the Young Madam isn’t good at socializing, she said she would go down and help with serving the dishes.”

“Help serving dishes?” Zhou Yuan doubted, “Is that really what Sister Su wants?”

“Of course it’s true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her later.”

Zhou Yuan immediately said, “Alright, then I’ll go ask her.”

A young mistress serving at her own family’s party—won’t that be a joke?

Zhou Yuan went outside to the estate, looked around, and did not see Su Meixi, but she saw Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng had probably just arrived, dressed in a black suit, with a blue shirt underneath and a dark blue tie, the whole person dignified and elegant.

Her heartbeat immediately slowed.

She didn’t care about finding Su Meixi anymore and immediately trotted over to Gu Cheng, “Brother Cheng!”

Gu Cheng looked at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan had a round face, slightly chubby, but just right, so it did not make her look fat, tender and fair, like Little Tangyuan.

With peanut filling.

Gu Cheng didn’t know why he described her like that.

But that was his feeling.

He couldn’t help but think about the night they spent together on the couch.

That night she obviously didn’t wake him on purpose, then stayed by his side.

Qiu Yurou sent him the photos afterwards, pushing him to take responsibility, but he ignored them.

What if he really married her?

The thought just emerged and Gu Cheng was startled.

Why did he have such a disgraceful thought? Although the girl in front of him was a senior about to graduate, if he married her, the whole town would laugh at him for being a cradle-robber.

“Brother Cheng, what are you thinking?” Zhou Yuan saw Gu Cheng staring at her without speaking, and she felt a little shy.

“Brother Cheng, you think I’m pretty today, don’t you? Or… do you like white?”

She was wearing a white dress today, draped with a fluffy shawl, nice hip-to-waist ratio, but in Gu Cheng’s eyes, she just looked like a round dumpling, tempting enough to bite.

Gu Cheng hurriedly shifted his gaze.

Zhou Yuan had completely forgotten about Su Meixi and only knew to follow Gu Cheng around.

Soon, Mr. Zhou also came as a guest.

Zhou Yuan just briefly greeted Mr. Zhou then ran off to follow Gu Cheng.

Mr. Zhou was extremely vexed.

Originally, the family was happily vacationing by the sea, but as soon as Zhou Yuan heard that Sister Su was at the Gu family, she immediately bought a plane ticket to come back.

Even the New Year was spent together at the Gu family’s place.

Nothing was settled yet, but she clung to them like this.

Mr. Zhou even heard the whispers of others.

“Who’s that girl? Why is she always following Mr. Gu?”

“She’s so shameless, look how Mr. Gu simply ignores her.”

“Exactly.”

…

Su Meixi was working when suddenly Fang Xin pulled her aside.

Fang Xin’s tone was fierce, “Tell me honestly, why are you carrying plates here? Were you fired from the hospital? I worked hard to support your education, not to have you wait tables here!”

“I wasn’t fired.” Su Meixi said.

“Then why are you here?”

“I’ll show you two photos in a bit, then you’ll understand.” Su Meixi said.

Before she finished speaking, Mdm. Zhang came over rebuking, “Didn’t I say no chatting? What are you doing here?”

Fang Xin, fearing her wages would be docked, turned and slipped away.

Su Meixi looked towards Mdm. Zhang.

Her gaze held not a trace of fear. Such a gaze even intimidated Mdm. Zhang for a moment.

This was the demeanor of a young mistress!

Su Meixi was indeed the young mistress of this family.

Mdm. Zhang dared not say much, just said, “It’s too busy outside, you better go help quickly.”

“I need to use the restroom,” Su Meixi said indifferently, then walked toward the villa’s main door.

“The restroom for the staff is in…”

Seeing Su Meixi didn’t turn back, Mdm. Zhang didn’t dare to continue.

Su Meixi was not a true maid, after all, one couldn’t expect her to use the staff restroom.

…

As Su Meixi passed the venue, someone called her, “Waitress, could you help me…”

However, Su Meixi did not respond.

The guest felt embarrassed to be angry; perhaps she genuinely hadn’t heard.

Su Meixi returned to the living room.

There was a recent family portrait of the Gu family in the living room, Gu Cheng and Gu Wei were there with Qiu Yurou.

She took a photo of the family portrait, then silently walked out.
