The Mad Heiress Played Innocent, and the Third Master Fell Hard - Chapter 31

Today is her birthday party, but before it even started, she’s already been humiliated several times.

I still heard my own brother say this.

She protested, “Why should I? I didn’t make this up, she clearly…”

He’s just a good-for-nothing.

Gu Jinyu stared at her, his eyes darkening slightly.

Gu Ying pouted slightly, looking reluctant, and said, “Okay.”

Her gaze drifted toward the sofa not far away.

Even through the crowd, her porcelain-white face still stood out.

Her wrists were so thin that they looked malnourished.

She wrinkled her nose, gave a soft snort, and then looked away, no longer looking in that direction.

…

The birthday party continued.

Everyone’s expressions returned to normal.

Congratulations should be offered where congratulations are due, and greetings should be exchanged where greetings are appropriate.

It was as if the incident from not long ago had never happened.

Gu Yingwei didn’t want to go on stage, but she couldn’t help glancing over there before she went up.

Jiang Yuhuai was talking to the girl next to him with his head down.

They seemed completely unconcerned about what was actually happening here.

It was as if she, the protagonist of today’s birthday party, was merely a tool.

Gu Jinyu didn’t say it explicitly, but how could Gu Yingwei, who had grown up in such an environment, not understand his implied meaning?

She gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, feeling a surge of relief.

Fortunately, she was just a tool.

Fortunately, it didn’t implicate the Gu family.

otherwise……

Yu Guiwan sat lazily on the sofa, looking at Gu Yingwei, the only bright spot in the crowd not far away.

Standing beside her were the head of the Gu family and his wife.

Gu Jinyu was also by his side.

They really do look like a loving family.

Jiang Yuhuai looked down at her and stroked her long hair. “If you like, we can hold a party at Tanyuan on your birthday.”

Before this, Danwon had never held a banquet.

Even the number of times that Grandpa Jiang visited Tanyuan was very few.

Jiang Yuhuai has never liked anyone getting close to his territory.

Even Grandpa Jiang wouldn’t do it.

Among those who come frequently, only Lu Yichen and Fu Zhengnan do.

Both of them looked over in surprise.

Yu Guiwan narrowed her eyes, seemingly thinking about something. After a long while, she finally spoke, “There are too many people. I don’t like it.”

The man chuckled softly, his voice indulgent, “Then we won’t let so many people come.”

Yu Guiwan: “…”

She increasingly suspected that Jiang Yuhuai was raising her as a daughter.

…

The ceremony ended after the cake was cut.

Then the dinner began.

All the dishes are cooked by top chefs themselves.

Yu Guiwan had little appetite.

She didn’t eat much either.

The Yu family members were seated at tables in the back rows.

It’s a bit far from here.

Yu Mingsheng kept glancing over here.

It seems they want to come over.

But when they saw Jiang Yuhuai and the others, they dared not move.

To be honest, he was still a little intimidated by his son-in-law, Jiang Yuhuai.

Or rather, in the entire capital, no one could calmly face Jiang Yuhuai.

Yu Guiwan slowly pulled out a tissue and wiped her mouth.

“I’m going out for some fresh air.”

Jiang Yuhuai chuckled and wiped her hands again. “Don’t go too far. I’ll come pick you up and take you home later.”

Yu Guiwan glanced at him and hummed in agreement, “I understand.”

Watching her get up and leave, Lu Yichen was a little worried. “Third Brother, are we really not going to go with Sister-in-law? What if she gets bullied?”

Jiang Yuhuai didn’t even glance at him. He calmly moved the plate in front of him, which contained a lot of food that Yu Guiwan had left uneaten, and slowly ate the leftovers.

“You think it’s you?”

Lu Yichen looked completely bewildered. “What do you mean?”

Jiang Yuhuai was too lazy to talk to him.

Fu Zhengnan raised his chin slightly, reminding him, “See for yourself.”

Jiangdong and Jiangxi, which had been guarding the area, had also disappeared without a trace.

These two are so skilled that it would be hard to find a match for them in the capital.

Lu Yichen fell silent, “…”

What’s the difference between this and a pro player going to the newbie village and slaughtering newbies?

…

This way.

Yu Mingsheng waited all night and finally saw Yu Guiwan leave Jiang Yuhuai’s side.

He quickly put down his knife and fork. “I’ll go over there for a moment.”

Cheng Xiang naturally knew where he was going.

She thought about it for a moment and followed.

Yu Yunshu certainly wouldn’t let such a good show slip by.

So I followed them.

Gu Yingwei had just taken a sip of red wine and was talking to her cousins, but she couldn’t hear them clearly. Her attention was drawn to Yu Guiwan and the Yu family members who left their seats one after the other.

She swallowed hard, put down her glass, and quickly stood up.

“Cousin Weiwei? What’s wrong?” A younger cousin looked at her in confusion.

The other cousins ​​also looked over.

Gu Yingwei patted her head, “You continue eating, your cousin is going out for a bit.”

“…Oh.” My little cousin looked completely bewildered.

…

The garden outside the banquet hall.

Yu Guiwan walked along casually.

Her gaze swept over the flowers planted in the garden.

They are all very common ornamental flowers.

She looked away with a hint of regret, her pace remaining unhurried.

A moment later, I heard hurried footsteps behind me.

“Yu Guiwan, you stop right there.”

A slightly serious male voice sounded from behind.

Yu Guiwan slowly stopped and then turned around.

Her hands were still behind her back.

It gives off a leisurely feeling, like strolling through one’s own backyard.

Looking at her face, Yu Mingsheng thought of the previous failed plan and how she had offended the second young lady of the Gu family as soon as she arrived before the banquet started, and his anger flared up.

“You unfilial daughter, we arranged for you to marry into the Jiang family so that you would please Third Master Jiang and ensure the smooth progress of the Yu and Jiang family’s projects. But what have you done? Now you not only don’t even come home, but you also offend Miss Gu as soon as you come out to a banquet.”

Yu Yunshu looked over with disdain, arms crossed, “I told you long ago, if someone like her marries Third Master Jiang, let alone whether she can please him, we should be grateful if she doesn’t cause trouble for our Yu family.”

Hearing Yu Mingsheng’s reprimand, Cheng Xiang didn’t say a word in Yu Guiwan’s defense.

After a long pause, she finally spoke, “Wanwan, don’t forget what we agreed on before. As long as you agree to marry into the Jiang family, your parents will send someone to take care of Grandma Wang. You know that the medical facilities in Yunling Town have never been very good.”

“But you really have disappointed your parents.”

The tone of her voice makes one think that Yu Guiwan is a rebellious girl who disobeys her parents.

Yu Guiwan twirled her fingers, lost in thought.

After a long pause, she chuckled softly, her innocent face full of sarcasm.

“Disappointed? Haven’t I always disappointed you?”

Yu Mingsheng frowned.

Yu Guiwan raised her eyes and looked over without any expression.

“You’ve been disappointed in me for a long time, I’ve known it since I was a child, so what do you want this time?”

She chuckled again. “Last time you dumped me in Yunling Town, what about this time?”
