Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Wan Manyu
Su Meixi then asked, “So you’ve been losing to him in verbal spats since you were little, and since you’ve got no way to deal with him, you come to me to show off your strength? You’re the type who ‘picks on the soft persimmons’, right?”
Bai Anzhi let out another cold laugh, then looked at her with a gaze that seemed to want to devour her.
Su Meixi wasn’t afraid of him.
“No matter what you intend to do to me, in my eyes, it’s all a display of incompetence. If you really had any ability, you’d use legitimate means to go up against the two Gu brothers, compete openly and honorably; then I would respect you as a real man.”
Bai Anzhi laughed again, “You really are a naive woman.”
Then he moved in front of her, very close, and raised an eyebrow, “I just enjoy competing with Gu Wei for things. Anything that’s his, good or bad, I want to take it from him.”
...
…
After work, Su Meixi went to the garage to get her car.
Since high society people have been coming to see her lately, she had to be more vigilant, especially in places like underground parking lots, always on the lookout for someone suddenly appearing.
Perhaps her time at the border had honed her alertness; she now felt someone was watching her inside the garage.
She couldn’t afford to be careless, but she couldn’t appear too frightened either.
After taking out her car keys, she first circled around the car, checking for anything suspicious.
Just as she rounded to the back of the car, unexpectedly, a hand landed on her back.

Without a word, she grabbed the hand and instantly performed a shoulder throw.
“Ouch!” Bai Anzhi was thrown and hurt, lying on the ground holding his waist, then looked at Su Meixi in disbelief.
Knowing that she shouldn’t linger, Su Meixi quickly jumped into the car, started it, and drove away.
Lying on the ground, Bai Anzhi watched the white Land Rover drive off and let out a snicker.
This woman was quite interesting.
…
Weekend.
Su Meixi received a call from Qiu Yurou, saying some guests had arrived at the house and asked her to come back to meet them.
Su Meixi was extremely reluctant.
Although after that party, the upper circle knew of Su Meixi’s existence, Qiu Yurou did not want to acknowledge Su Meixi’s status; her asking Su Meixi to come back undoubtedly had some purpose.
It was surely meant to be a blow.
However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hadn’t completely torn their relationship apart, and Qiu Yurou was still her mother-in-law, so Su Meixi couldn’t deny her even that bit of respect.
Just as she was about to go to the Gu Family, Zhou Yuan gave her a call. Zhou Yuan also received notice, and as the prospective bride, she had to go too.
Zhou Yuan had a driver, and she told Su Meixi not to drive but to go together in one car, so they could chat on the way.
Half an hour later, Su Meixi got into Zhou Yuan’s car.
Zhou Yuan looked a bit downcast, speaking less than usual.
Su Meixi couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with you? You’re going to be a bride at the end of the month. Is there something upsetting you?”
Zhou Yuan leaned on Su Meixi’s shoulder and said again, “I always feel like Brother Cheng doesn’t really want to marry me.”
Su Meixi couldn’t help but laugh, “If he didn’t want to marry you, why would he make such a big show of proposing to you at your house? Your wedding invitations have been sent out, right? The Gu Family is also preparing for the wedding. Look at my wedding, I didn’t have anything.”
Zhou Yuan sighed, “I just feel like Brother Cheng and I don’t seem like we’re about to get married. Aren’t all the couples who are about to marry sweet and inseparable, as if they want to spend every minute of their day together?”
“Gu Cheng is the president of a group. If he spent 24 hours a day being affectionate with you, who would pay the salaries of all those people in the group? Would you?
Zhou Yuan shook her head and said, “It’s not like we need to be together 24 hours a day, it’s just this feeling, the feeling that he’s getting married just to go through the motions, out of a sense of duty.”
“Then, marrying him, are you happy about it?”
Zhou Yuan swore, “Of course I’m happy, I’m going to be a good wife, a good spouse.”
“That settles it, doesn’t it? Your situation is probably what they call pre-wedding jitters online.”
Only then did Zhou Yuan say, “Maybe so.”
After being reassured by Su Meixi, the two of them started talking about the reason for their return to the Gu Family home today.
Zhou Yuan asked, “Auntie said she wanted us to meet a guest, who do you think this guest is?”
Su Meixi shook her head, “I’m not sure.”
Zhou Yuan said, “Auntie specially asked us to come back, that means this guest must be really important to her.”
“When we go back we’ll find out.”
…
Gu Family.
When Su Meixi and Zhou Yuan arrived at the living room, they saw Qiu Yurou and a young girl sitting together.
This girl was not Qiu Wenyin, who had already returned to the UK.
The girl, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, was tall and slender, with snow-white skin that gave off a slightly mixed-race vibe, possessing both Oriental classical beauty and a Western grandeur, dazzling to behold.
Upon seeing her, Su Meixi felt a sense of being overshadowed.
“Auntie, Auntie, is this your guest?” Zhou Yuan was the first to greet her.
Qiu Yurou pulled Zhou Yuan over with a smile, “You and Gu Cheng are about to get married, what’s this ‘Auntie’? You should call me ‘Mom’ now.”
Shyly, Zhou Yuan obliged with a call, “Mom!”
“That’s a good girl.”
Su Meixi also went over, calling out “Mom.”
Qiu Yurou just gave her a faint glance and said, “Sit down.”
After they were all seated, Qiu Yurou introduced the mixed-race beauty, “This is Manman, her name is Wan Manyu, her mother is from Feng City, her father a foreigner. I met her while I was abroad, and during that time we got along extremely well, almost like mother and daughter, and her mother is also my best friend.”
Wan Manyu casually waved to Su Meixi and Zhou Yuan, as if to say hello.
Su Meixi thought Wan Manyu had the aura of a beauty from an American blockbuster.
She also vaguely remembered, when Qiu Yurou had pressured her to leave Gu Wei two years ago, Qiu Yurou had hinted that she had an ideal daughter-in-law candidate in mind, which must have been this Wan Manyu.
Zhou Yuan asked, “Mom, are you introducing Sister Manman to us so we can show her around Feng City? Has Sister Manman been to Feng City before?”
Wan Manyu replied, “I rarely return to Feng City, but I have relatives here and am currently staying at their home.”
Qiu Yurou said with a smile, “It was only at my insistence that Manman agreed to come back to the country. She’s a student at Oxford University, speaks 10 languages, and just obtained her doctorate.”
After that, Qiu Yurou looked towards Wan Manyu, “Manman, the situation in our country is not like before, economically, we are a major economy, and if you’re not in a hurry to work, you could spend a month or two here looking around to see which area suits your development. I hope you would consider developing a career here.”
Wan Manyu said with a smile, “I will take Auntie’s advice into consideration.”
They sat and chatted for a while longer, but it was mostly them, Su Meixi didn’t have much to say; she had traveled little and was just a modest doctor, unfamiliar with the topics they were discussing.
Moreover, it was clear why Qiu Yurou had called her over: Qiu Yurou wanted her to understand what an ideal daughter-in-law looked like in her eyes!
What do you think?
