Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Maid Outfit
“This isn’t good, is it?” Zhou Yuan exclaid in surprise.
She wasn’t the type of person who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
Qiu Yurou smiled and said, “Good or not, you won’t know until you try. What if he agrees?”
Zhou Yuan then chuckled, “Then I’ll give it a try.”
She was only humoring Qiu Yurou; she would never actually send such a photo to threaten Gu Cheng.
Seeing this, Su ixi couldn’t help but smile to herself.
...
If Zhou Yuan really beca the elder sister-in-law, then Qiu Yurou would surely favor the elder daughter-in-law and continue to make life difficult for her, the younger daughter-in-law.
People really do have their own fates.
But she couldn’t possibly be jealous of Zhou Yuan, a wealthy young lady without sches and full of kindness—who wouldn’t like her?
…
At noon, Su ixi received a ssage from Bi Yuanhang: “Xiao Xi, Happy New Year, I’m back in Feng City.”
Since Bi Yuanhang had fallen for Weina, Su ixi had co to regard him as an elder brother and a friend. Receiving his ssage, she was naturally pleased and imdiately made a voice call to him.
“Senior brother, you’re back. Is Weina with you? Did she co back with you?”
Bi Yuanhang paused for a mont before responding, “No.”
“Is she unwilling to co back with you, or is she coming back after so days?”
Bi Yuanhang said, “She said she hasn’t figured things out yet and asked to return first. If she makes up her mind, she might co back.”
“How long will that take?”
Bi Yuanhang gave a bitter smile, “She said half a year. If I don’t have a new girlfriend by then, she might co to find ; if not, she told to look for a new girlfriend.”
“Then give her so ti. I think she will co to find you. After all, you are a great person, and besides, her forr husband has been gone for a long ti; she needs soone by her side.”
“That’s the only option,” Bi Yuanhang said.
…
On the second and third days of the lunar new year, because Zhou Yuan was at ho, Qiu Yurou did not make life difficult for Su ixi to avoid scaring Zhou Yuan away.
Moreover, Zhou Yuan seed very righteous. If she saw Su ixi being bullied, she would definitely step in to stop it.
But Qiu Yurou had called Su ixi back intending to make her back off, so when Qiu Yurou went to visit relatives, she didn’t bring Su ixi along, leaving her at ho to accompany Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan sowhat sensed sothing and asked, “Sister Su, does your aunt not like you very much?”
Su ixi smiled, “I’m not soft currency; not everyone has to like .”
“But Gu Wei likes you, and that’s quite rare, unlike . My aunt liking is useless. Gu Cheng has to like for it to count.”
“Sister Su, if I could be your sister-in-law, I would definitely protect you; don’t worry.”
Su ixi smiled, “I can protect myself, too. Just take care of yourself.”
Her tolerance was because Qiu Yurou hadn’t crossed her bottom line yet. If she did, Su ixi would fight back.
Who’s afraid of whom?
Early on the fourth day of the new year, the housemaids and chefs had all returned, and the Gu Family’s villa estate finally buzzed with a bit more life.
Qiu Yurou then announced, “Tomorrow is the fifth day of the new year, and we’ll have a New Year’s party at ho.”
Qiu Wenyin was very excited, “Great, I love going to parties.”
Zhou Yuan also excitedly said, “I’m familiar with this; I ca with my dad last year. I accidentally let Brother Cheng’s Er Ha escape, hahaha.”
Qiu Yurou rembered, “So it was you.”
“It was , it was . That was when I fell for Brother Cheng.”
Qiu Yurou smiled, “At that ti, I only knew so reckless girl had unleashed Er Ha, and it ran all over the place, startling all the guests. I didn’t expect it was you. Speaking of which, that’s also fate.”
Qiu Wenyin had not co last year and kept asking about the situation then.
Then, the two of them excitedly chatted about the incidents of that ti, talking animatedly.
Su ixi was left out on the side.
She smiled to herself: See, if you like soone, whatever they do or say is right. If you don’t like soone, whatever they do or say is wrong.
After the three finished chatting, Qiu Yurou suddenly turned to Su ixi.
“Ah Xi, you also need to co out and help greet the guests at tomorrow’s party.”
Su ixi was startled.
Greet the guests, in what capacity?
If it was as the Gu Family’s daughter-in-law, that would an Qiu Yurou acknowledged her.
But Qiu Yurou didn’t make it clear.
Only Zhou Yuan was happy for Su ixi, “Sister Su, then you must dress up beautifully tomorrow.”
Before Su ixi could reply, Qiu Yurou said, “Her clothes will be sent to her room by Mdm. Zhang tomorrow morning.”
Su ixi nodded.
Yet, she still felt there was more to it.
…
Indeed, the next day, Mdm. Zhang knocked on Su ixi’s door early in the morning.
As soon as Su ixi opened the door, Mdm. Zhang handed her a set of clothes, “Put on this outfit and co help set up the scene.”
Su ixi looked at the outfit in her hands, a blue and white uniform, identical to the one Mdm. Zhang was wearing.
A maid’s uniform!
So she was to attend as a maid, no wonder!
Qiu Yurou would not let her have it easy.
“The young mistress, the lady said, all of us are working for the Gu Family, and it’s the sa at any position. Since you’re new and unaware of the rules, she can’t bring you to et the guests. It’s also for your own good. You can’t let the guests think that the Gu Family has brought back a clueless young mistress, can you?”
Mdm. Zhang was brainwashing Su ixi.
Su ixi smiled, “Mom is right; she is indeed looking out for . Don’t worry, I’ll be fine in this outfit too.”
She closed the door and took a deep breath.
For Gu Wei, she continued to endure!
…
Downstairs, the setup for the event was already underway, with Su ixi, dressed in a maid’s outfit and wearing a mask, helping at the scene.
She comforted herself that this was actually good; she really didn’t know how to handle guest reception. If she had to et the guests, she would feel constrained.
After adjusting her mood, she began to work, and it wasn’t too boring.
Soone taught her what kind of glasses to use for red wine, how clean the glasses should be, and how to cut fruit beautifully and neatly—she was gaining so new knowledge.
Busy at work, Mdm. Zhang ca over again.
“Today, in addition to our own Gu Family servants busy at work, we have also hired so temporary workers.”
Su ixi wondered why Mdm. Zhang was telling her this, and she replied, “Whatever you decide is fine.”
Mdm. Zhang smiled, “Among these temporary workers, it seems there are so people you know.”
“People I know?”
Mdm. Zhang pointed at a few temporary workers who were cleaning the area not far away, “Those over there.”
Su ixi looked and recognized one of them despite the mask.
It was Fang Xin!
