Chapter 237 The Real World: Gathering 4
After the Gu siblings left, the quiet private room suddenly erupted in laughter, especially Tan Mingzheng and Xu Ze, who laughed the loudest.
"Hahaha... Old Fu, where did you find such a wonderful person? I think I understand why you're in such a hurry to get married..."
Before Tan Mingzheng could finish speaking, Xu Ze, standing next to him, gave a thumbs-up and chimed in, "Sister-in-law, amazing!"
Although Shen Yunzhou didn't laugh out loud, a smile appeared on his lips, indicating that his sister-in-law wasn't one to swallow her anger.
It's good to have a sharp edge. What Fu Cinian needs in his position in the Fu family is a virtuous wife, not someone who holds him back.
Even if her status is lower, as long as she acts with propriety and can manage the rear for Fu Cinian, having a personality is acceptable. Shen Yunzhou now has a very good impression of this sister-in-law!
Gu Yankai, who went out to chase after Gu Zhiyi, quickly caught up with her. He grabbed her arm, looked around, found an inconspicuous corner, and then spoke to her in a low voice.
"Zhiyi, you were too rash just now! Miss Su is now Fu Cinian's wife, after all. What you just said was really rude, you..."
At this point, Gu Yankai carefully observed his surroundings and lowered his voice, "You should put away those thoughts you had before. Fu Cinian is already married. A girl from the Gu family wouldn't ruin someone else's marriage. It wouldn't look good if word got out."
Hearing Gu Yankai's reprimand, Gu Zhiyi was also unhappy: "Brother! Why do you say that too? What's so good about that Su Jinyue? She has no status, no position. What makes her better than me?"
Gu Yankai sighed and said seriously, "No matter what Fu Cinian saw in Miss Su, the result is that she is already married. The girls of the Gu family can take it and leave it, so Fu Cinian, you should give up."
Gu Zhiyi bit her lip, still refusing to accept her fate: "Brother, Brother Fu was just temporarily bewitched by that woman. She must have other motives for clinging to Brother Fu!"
"Brother, why don't you secretly investigate Su Jinyue's background? Brother Fu must have been deceived by her. I must expose that woman's conspiracy and let Brother Fu know her true colors."
Gu Yankai called out helplessly, "Zhiyi..."
Gu Yankai really regretted bringing his sister along. He had always known Gu Zhiyi's feelings, and he had originally been happy to see it happen.
The Gu family is quite chaotic, and Gu's father favors his illegitimate son, which puts Gu Yankai in a very awkward position at the company.
But the Fu family is different. If Gu Zhiyi can really be with Fu Cinian, Gu Yankai will have a great chance to defeat the other illegitimate children and take over the Gu family business from his father.
Therefore, for the sake of this fantasy, Gu Yankai allowed his sister to have contact with Fu Cinian. He would even deliberately bring his sister along when they had gatherings, if the occasion was appropriate.
Unfortunately, the goddess was willing, but the Prince of Xiang was indifferent; Fu Cinian had no intention of falling for Gu Zhiyi.
Now, without any warning, Fu Cinian has gotten married and even introduced his fiancé to them.
Judging from Fu Cinian's attitude in the private room, Gu Yankai knew that Fu Cinian was really serious this time, and Gu Zhiyi had no chance at all.
However, looking into his sister's pleading eyes, Gu Yankai couldn't bring himself to say the words that would make Gu Zhiyi give up.
Gu Yankai knew he was also at fault. He had allowed his sister to develop feelings for Fu Cinian, and he had never reminded her that Fu Cinian was not interested in her.
Gu Yan felt extremely guilty and couldn't bring himself to refuse.
He thought to himself that he should go along with his sister's wishes this time. Perhaps with time, his sister would be able to completely let go of Fu Cinian...
Su Jinyue had no idea about the conversation between the brother and sister outside.
The atmosphere in the private room remained pleasant after Gu Yankai and his sister left.
Fu Cinian's friends are all of high status and have high standards, but they are also very easy to get along with when they approve of someone.
Having experienced several worlds, Su Jinyue has broadened her horizons and gained valuable experience. When interacting with them, she can remain composed and speak eloquently.
Besides, Su Jinyue has Fu Cinian behind her, so she has nothing to fear.
Su Jinyue and Tan Mingzheng had been chatting for quite a while before Gu Yankai returned to the private room alone.
Gu Yankai said that Gu Zhiyi had spoken recklessly before, but now she has realized her mistake. However, she is too embarrassed to come back and doesn't want to cause any more trouble for everyone.
Afterwards, Gu Yankai apologized to Su Jinyue again on behalf of Gu Zhiyi.
Su Jinyue generously said it was okay.
As for whether Gu Yankai was telling the truth or not, and whether Gu Zhiyi had truly repented, Su Jinyue didn't care much.
In her previous life, before her rebirth, Gu Zhiyi never got close to Fu Cinian.
In this situation, Gu Zhiyi has even less chance of succeeding.
After this little incident, with Gu Zhiyi no longer causing trouble, Gu Yankai wisely changed the subject.
Seeing that Fu Cinian and the others were talking about serious matters, Su Jinyue, who had drunk too much water, quietly got up and went to the restroom outside.
When Su Jinyue came out of the restroom and washed her hands and touched up her makeup at the sink, she didn't expect that Gu Zhiyi, whom Gu Yan had said had already left, would reappear.
Gu Zhiyi seemed to have come specifically to target Su Jinyue, and immediately spoke directly to her.
"Su Jinyue, although I don't know what methods you used to bewitch Fu Cinian, I advise you to be sensible and leave Fu Cinian as soon as possible, otherwise I will definitely expose your true colors and make you pay!"
Su Jinyue glanced at Gu Zhiyi in the mirror, wondering where she got the confidence to provoke her again.
Moreover, Su Jinyue didn't know what she had that she was afraid others would find out, and she certainly wouldn't break up with Fu Cinian, so she had no choice but to disappoint Gu Zhiyi's 'good intentions'.
Su Jinyue slowly applied her lipstick, completely ignoring Gu Zhiyi's threat.
"Su Jinyue! Did you even hear what I said? I've seen plenty of people like you who climbed up from the bottom. I advise you to know when to quit while you're ahead!"
Fu Cinian is not someone you can mess with. Once he finds out your true colors and realizes he made the wrong choice, you won't be able to bear the consequences of angering him!
So you'd better get out of Kyoto right now and never show your face in front of Fu Cinian again!
Su Jinyue chuckled. She turned around, leaned against the sink, crossed her arms, and looked at the gesticulating Gu Zhiyi.
"Miss Gu, your imagination is running wild. Don't make things up without evidence. I don't have any secrets that I can't let Fu Cinian know."
