Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 128: Chapter 128 The Reason I’m Here

“The maids who work here have to hand over their cell phones to prevent them from taking random photos.

But Su Meixi, Gu Wei’s wife, naturally didn’t have to.

Su Meixi walked outside, looking at these guests dressed to the nines.

Today’s sunshine was very bright, and the weather was warm, but Su Meixi found this kind of sunlight extremely harsh.

Qiu Yurou, in a blue gown, stood under the sun, chatting and laughing elegantly with everyone.

In such an environment, Su Meixi, who came from a lower background, could feel something called fate even more.

Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth, while others can only struggle at the very bottom.

Some strive to gain recognition, but those at the top keep pressing down, extending a foot to crush their efforts into the mud.

A waiter passed by, and Su Meixi called him over, then took a glass of wine from his tray.

The waiter immediately panicked, ‘Can you drink this?’

‘Go on, pretend you didn’t see anything!’ Su Meixi downed the glass of wine in one gulp.

Worried about being implicated, the waiter hurried away.

Taking advantage of the alcohol, Su Meixi then found Fang Xin, who was busy backstage.

Mdm. Zhang wasn’t there at the moment, and though a butler was watching, Su Meixi had already taken off her mask, and the butler did not dare to come over when he saw her.

Su Meixi pulled out the photos on her phone and handed them to Fang Xin, ‘Wonder why I’m here? This is why.’

The first picture Fang Xin saw was of Su Meixi and Gu Wei.

She recognized this Gu Wei; he was the man Su Meixi found later.

When she flipped to the family photo, Fang Xin was suddenly surprised.

Just now, while working outside, Fang Xin had glanced at Qiu Yurou a few times; Qiu Yurou was about the same age as her, but she was a rich lady, while she could only work below, so Fang Xin had a deep impression of Qiu Yurou.

‘Your mother-in-law?’ Fang Xin asked.

‘Exactly.’

Fang Xin was shocked for a long time.

‘Then why are you wearing these clothes?’

‘I come from a humble background; they don’t acknowledge me in the Gu Family.’

‘That’s not fair!’ Fang Xin exclaimed, ‘I’m going to go and argue with them.’

‘You can’t handle them by yourself; if you go out, you’ll be thrown out.’

‘Then what should we do?’ Fang Xin was at a loss.

Of course, she didn’t want to stand up for Su Meixi; knowing that Su Meixi was the daughter-in-law of this family made her very happy, never expecting that the prestigious rich lady was related by marriage, and she actually had such a connection.

She just wanted to cling to her in-laws!

Su Meixi said, ‘I don’t know, you figure it out.’

Fang Xin was capable of making a video last time; naturally, she knew how to cause a stir. Su Meixi didn’t need to teach her these things.

Fang Xin thought for a while and then said, ‘Then lend me your phone to make a call.’

‘You can’t use a cell phone here.’ Su Meixi couldn’t lend her phone to her.

The phone was private, and if Fang Xin took random photos or spread them around, it would be bad for Gu Wei.

Fang Xin was desperate.

Mdm. Zhang happened to arrive at that moment; she didn’t dare to scold Su Meixi, so she scolded Fang Xin instead, ‘What are you doing?’

Fang Xin scolded back, ‘What’s it to you? Can’t I chat with my daughter for a bit? Who do you think you are?’

‘You…’ Seeing Fang Xin’s terrible attitude, Mdm. Zhang must have realized that her own daughter knew her status in the Gu Family.

The madam had brought Fang Xin over just to make Su Meixi see reality, and since Su Meixi had overstepped, there was no point in keeping Fang Xin.

Mdm. Zhang said to Fang Xin, ‘You don’t need to work today; just settle your wages and leave; someone will send you out.’

Fang Xin threw her apron fiercely and said, ‘Fine, I’ll go. But wait for it, I’ll be back!’

…

Once outside the villa estate, Fang Xin retrieved her own cell phone and then immediately called Chen Jingbing.

On the other hand, Su Meixi had already changed out of her maid’s uniform, into her usual clothes, and had also come to the yard.

She took a glass of wine and sat in a corner, slowly sipping it.

Passersby, noticing her pretty appearance but not recognizing her, didn’t greet her.

Mdm. Zhang noticed her first and couldn’t help coming over, ‘Second Young Madam, weren’t you helping with chores? Why did you stop?’

Su Meixi glanced at her, ‘If I want to work, I work; if I don’t want to, I don’t.’

‘Well… Alright, I’ll go and ask the madam.’

Mdm. Zhang walked over to Qiu Yurou.

Qiu Yurou had been chatting with a guest, but seeing Mdm. Zhang waiting, she guessed she had something to report, so she excused herself from the guest.

‘What’s the matter?’ Qiu Yurou asked Mdm. Zhang.

Mdm. Zhang pointed to Su Meixi sitting in the corner, ‘Second Young Madam says she doesn’t want to work anymore.’

Qiu Yurou glanced at Su Meixi, who was just sitting there quietly drinking, not talking to anyone.

‘Keep a close eye on her, don’t let her do anything else.’

Mdm. Zhang was a bit anxious, ‘Second Young Madam’s mother was sent away by me; she seems to have found out about her position in the Gu Family.’

Qiu Yurou couldn’t help but ask, ‘How could you be so careless?’

‘You said before that there was friction between Second Young Madam and her mother, so I thought they wouldn’t communicate. But then all of a sudden, Second Young Madam went and talked with her mother for a bit. I reviewed the surveillance, and it seems Second Young Madam also showed something on her phone to her mother, just couldn’t see clearly what was on the screen.’

Qiu Yurou was a bit angry, ‘Keep a close watch on them.’

She had brought Fang Xin over just to make Su Meixi face reality, not to acknowledge Su Meixi’s position in front of the guests.

…

Zhou Yuan followed Gu Cheng for a while, but Gu Cheng didn’t have time for her.

Most of the guests who came here, aside from some relatives of the Gu Family, were all here for Gu Cheng; thus, after a brief while, he was surrounded by people, some discussing projects with him, others consulting him on various issues.

If Zhou Yuan kept bothering him, it would look discourteous.

But Zhou Yuan was always nearby, watching him.

Sometimes after he finished chatting, turning around, he could see the white figure looking at her.

A Little Tangyuan!

Although Gu Cheng appeared serious, without a hint of expression, he knew there was a small flutter in his heart.

At the very least, he loved dumplings.

Zhou Yuan followed Gu Cheng all morning and only found it dull.

Some people even gossiped about her, saying she was thick-skinned.

At that moment, she finally remembered Su Meixi and, scanning the crowd, spotted Su Meixi in the corner, and couldn’t help but rush over excitedly, calling out, ‘Sister Su!’

Su Meixi nodded to her.

‘Sister Su, where did you go this morning? I couldn’t find you.’

‘Did you really look for me?’ Su Meixi asked with a smile, ‘Your eyes were on Big Brother the whole time; don’t think I didn’t notice.’

Zhou Yuan felt a bit embarrassed, but being someone who hated being alone, she took Su Meixi’s hand and said, ‘Sister Su, don’t just sit here alone; let me introduce you to a few friends.’

Without further ado, she pulled Su Meixi into the crowd, and called out, ‘Let me introduce everyone; this is Sister Su, Gu Wei’s wife. Isn’t she beautiful?'”
