The Mad Heiress Played Innocent, and the Third Master Fell Hard - Chapter 29

This is why the Gu family is satisfied with Jiang Yuhuai as their son-in-law.

Most marriages among prominent families were arranged marriages.

Men’s nature is hard to change; most of them have affairs outside the marriage.

Those who can remain completely untouched by worldly affairs, like Jiang Yuhuai, are definitely a minority.

Unfortunately, their plan backfired.

Madam Gu’s words were a slap in the face to the Gu family head.

But the head of the Gu family dared not utter a single rebuttal.

If he dares to refute this now, the stock of the Gu Group will probably plummet tomorrow.

No matter how strong the Gu family’s foundation is, it can’t compare to the behemoth that is the Jiang family.

Whether I can continue to settle down in Beijing is still unknown.

The surroundings were completely silent.

All eyes were on Yu Guiwan’s face.

…

On the other side.

upstairs.

Someone spoke up, “Weiwei, that person has arrived. Would you like to go down?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yingwei subconsciously tried to get up.

But then she suddenly remembered something and sat down again.

She turned her head to the side. “Is he the only one?”

The man’s expression was complicated as he shook his head. “It doesn’t seem so.”

Gu Yingwei’s expression darkened, but then, as if she had thought of something, she curled her red lips into a smile.

“Oh, I see. The guests have arrived, I should go down and greet them.”

She smoothed her skirt, then stood up and went downstairs in ten-centimeter high heels.

The other followers quickly followed.

After they went downstairs, they immediately spotted the man in the crowd.

Gu Yingwei naturally wouldn’t back down; she raised her chin and walked over.

As soon as they got close, they heard Madam Gu’s fawning and ingratiating words.

Gu Yingwei’s face immediately darkened.

Jealousy overwhelmed her, and she lost all reason.

She reached out and pushed aside the people surrounding her, then went inside.

“Even if there are no other women around Master Jiang, not just any woman is worthy of his status, is she?”

The sudden female voice broke the silence.

Gu Jinyu looked over, frowning. “Weiwei.”

He strode over, grabbed her wrist, and tried to stop her from continuing.

Gu Yingwei was already holding back her anger, and now that she saw Yu Guiwan, she wanted nothing more than to tear her face off.

She should be the one standing next to him today.

She forcefully shook off Gu Jinyu’s hand, then walked over, arrogantly raising her chin. “I heard that Miss Yu grew up in a small county town, is that right?”

Yu Guiwan turned her gaze away without saying a word.

Gu Yingwei seemed to have thought of something, and covered her mouth in surprise, “It seems that he dropped out of school before graduating from high school, and didn’t even go to university.”

This wasn’t exactly a secret.

But when Gu Yingwei said it in public, it took on a different meaning.

Immediately, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.

The Yu family members have just arrived.

I was caught off guard when I heard those words.

Feeling embarrassed, Yu Mingsheng stood in a corner where he was not easily noticed.

Cheng Xiang and Yu Yunshu also stood there.

Unlike Yu Mingsheng and the others who were embarrassed, Yu Yunshu’s eyes flashed with disdain.

She should have known long ago that even if Yu Guiwan became the third wife of Jiang, she might not be able to hold onto that position.

Who is Master Jiang?

Is she, a good-for-nothing abandoned by her family, worthy of him?

Jiang Dong and Jiangxi remained expressionless.

They all knew that Yu Guiwan used to be a poor student, but they never expected Gu Yingwei to be so bold.

Others would avoid tigers when they saw them.

She’s really going to pull the tiger’s hair out of its head.

Yu Guiwan’s pupils were as clear and pure as crystal. She glanced sideways at the person beside her and asked, “What is your identity? Are you very powerful?”

A faint smile played on Jiang Yuhuai’s lips. “Miss Yu’s husband? Is he impressive?”

Yu Guiwan looked at him expressionlessly, “…”

She asked him about the east, but he replied that he was going west.

Judging from her tone, she seems quite proud.

Gu Yingwei stared intently at the two of them, her exquisite makeup unable to conceal her deathly pallor.

She was trying to make Yu Guiwan realize her place and not think that just because she’s climbed up a branch, she can become a phoenix.

But she never expected that Jiang Yuhuai would say such a thing.

Isn’t this a slap in the face?

And it happened at her birthday party.

For a moment, her gaze toward Jiang Yuhuai held a hint of resentment.

Jiang Yuhuai narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Before he could say anything…

A voice came from not far behind.

“Oh, Miss Gu, what kind of look is that? Anyone who didn’t know better would think you’re very close to my third brother. If my third sister-in-law gets jealous, my third brother will be in big trouble.”

Yu Guiwan turned her head and looked over.

Then I saw Lu Yichen walk over with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face.

Behind him followed Fu Zhengnan, who had a blank expression.

Yu Guiwan blinked.

As Lu Yichen approached, he also blinked and said, “Hello, Third Sister-in-law.”

Yu Guiwan: “…Hello.”

Fu Zhengnan greeted Jiang Yuhuai, looked over, and also called her Third Sister-in-law.

Gu Yingwei’s expression was more than just ugly at this moment.

She clenched her hands. “When did we stop being close? Lu Yichen, don’t say anything that could ruin Third Master’s image.”

Lu Yichen raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

Fu Zhengnan stood to the side, acting as a tool.

Jiang Yuhuai stood there tall and straight, affectionately holding Yu Guiwan’s waist, his deep eyes sweeping over her, filled with utter coldness.

“Miss Gu, are we very familiar?”

Gu Yingwei was caught off guard and their eyes met.

That look sent chills down her spine.

Her back was tense. “The Gu family and the Jiang family are old friends.”

That was something from Grandpa Gu’s generation.

The Gu family is not what it used to be.

Jiang Yuhuai sneered, “You said it yourself, it’s the Gu family and the Jiang family.”

A familiar, wicked smile played on his lips. “Besides,” he said, “how come I have no idea that the Gu family and the Jiang family have any connection?”

These words were a direct slap in the face to the Gu family.

Caught off guard, the Gu family head and the others froze in place.

After regaining his senses, the Gu family head couldn’t help but glare fiercely at Gu Yingwei.

Gu Yingwei was so frightened by that look that she almost lost her balance.

Those who followed her downstairs had long since disappeared into some corner.

He was afraid that Jiang Yuhuai would see him.

Gu Yingwei, with her exquisite makeup and the latest custom-made dress, had arrived as a proud peacock, but now she could only stand trembling beside Madam Gu.

Gu Jinyu glanced at his parents and sister, pursed his lips, and then said, “Third Master Jiang, I’m sorry, it was my sister who used inappropriate words. I hope you can forgive her. A magnanimous person will not hold a grudge against a petty person.”

Jiang Yuhuai’s eyes were icy cold. Although he didn’t say anything, he exuded a suffocating sense of pressure.

Gu Yingwei gritted her teeth and shrank behind Madam Gu. Her innate pride was instantly crushed by someone she liked.

The overwhelming sense of humiliation that came from all directions engulfed her.

She couldn’t help but glance at Yu Guiwan standing next to that man.

The girl had soft eyes and seemed naive, as if she were being well protected.

This is something she could never obtain, no matter how much she gave.
