Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Look, How Lowly You Are
The mont Su ixi saw Fang Xin, her whole body shuddered.
Qiu Yurou did it on purpose!
She was reminding Su ixi of her background, and if Su ixi dared to acknowledge anything in front of everyone, the Gu family would certainly beco the laughingstock of the guests.
With such background, she was only fit to do the lowest level of work!
At that instant, Su ixi wanted to leave the Gu family.
She didn’t want to fight with Qiu Yurou anymore, nor did she care about her future with Gu Wei. If there was discord with her mother-in-law, so be it—just never interact again.
...
She remained silent for a full 5 minutes.
During these 5 minutes, she thought about her future with Gu Wei.
If she left now, it would an she had openly broken with Qiu Yurou.
The next ti she saw Qiu Yurou, she would be utterly defeated. Qiu Yurou would look down on her triumphantly, “See, you are so lowly, just a re display of Fang Xin and you flee in panic!”
She took a deep breath, then clenched her fists.
No, she couldn’t lose!
She continued to work silently.
When the venue setup was almost done, Qiu Yurou and Qiu Wényīn ca down.
The two were wearing delicately made-up faces and aptly dressed in gowns, both noble and proud.
Qiu Yurou inspected the venue and after finding the arrangents satisfactory, she ordered Mdm. Zhang to arrange the following tasks.
The subsequent work was to welco and serve the guests.
Mdm. Zhang gathered all the staff, instructing everyone to be extrely careful, ticulously handle their duties, and warning that if any guest was offended, no one would receive their day’s wages.
Su ixi was assigned to the food serving team, responsible for serving dishes to the guests, basically carrying plates.
“Ah Xi?”
During assembly, Fang Xin recognized Su ixi, “Why are you also working here? Aren’t you at the hospital being a doctor?”
For a mont, Su ixi didn’t know how to respond.
Seeing soone talking, Mdm. Zhang couldn’t help saying, “Go work, there should be no talking on site, or else wages will be deducted!”
Su ixi told Fang Xin, “I’ll explain to you later.”
…
Zhou Yuan also got up.
There was a party today, so she spent a long ti dressing up, and after she was ready, she went to find Su ixi.
Before, when she attended parties, there was no one to talk to, but today with Sister Su there, it would definitely not be boring.
She knocked several tis on the door of Su ixi’s room but got no answer, and just as she turned around, she saw Mdm. Zhang.
Mdm Zhang asked with a smile, “Miss Zhou, are you looking for the Young Madam?”
“Mm, where did Sister Su go?”
Mdm. Zhang smiled, “The Young Madam is helping outside. We are short of hands today, and since the Young Madam isn’t good at socializing, she said she would go down and help with serving the dishes.”
“Help serving dishes?” Zhou Yuan doubted, “Is that really what Sister Su wants?”
“Of course it’s true. If you don’t believe , you can ask her later.”
Zhou Yuan imdiately said, “Alright, then I’ll go ask her.”
A young mistress serving at her own family’s party—won’t that be a joke?
Zhou Yuan went outside to the estate, looked around, and did not see Su ixi, but she saw Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng had probably just arrived, dressed in a black suit, with a blue shirt underneath and a dark blue tie, the whole person dignified and elegant.
Her heartbeat imdiately slowed.
She didn’t care about finding Su ixi anymore and imdiately trotted over to Gu Cheng, “Brother Cheng!”
Gu Cheng looked at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan had a round face, slightly chubby, but just right, so it did not make her look fat, tender and fair, like Little Tangyuan.
With peanut filling.
Gu Cheng didn’t know why he described her like that.
But that was his feeling.
He couldn’t help but think about the night they spent together on the couch.
That night she obviously didn’t wake him on purpose, then stayed by his side.
Qiu Yurou sent him the photos afterwards, pushing him to take responsibility, but he ignored them.
What if he really married her?
The thought just erged and Gu Cheng was startled.
Why did he have such a disgraceful thought? Although the girl in front of him was a senior about to graduate, if he married her, the whole town would laugh at him for being a cradle-robber.
“Brother Cheng, what are you thinking?” Zhou Yuan saw Gu Cheng staring at her without speaking, and she felt a little shy.
“Brother Cheng, you think I’m pretty today, don’t you? Or… do you like white?”
She was wearing a white dress today, draped with a fluffy shawl, nice hip-to-waist ratio, but in Gu Cheng’s eyes, she just looked like a round dumpling, tempting enough to bite.
Gu Cheng hurriedly shifted his gaze.
Zhou Yuan had completely forgotten about Su ixi and only knew to follow Gu Cheng around.
Soon, Mr. Zhou also ca as a guest.
Zhou Yuan just briefly greeted Mr. Zhou then ran off to follow Gu Cheng.
Mr. Zhou was extrely vexed.
Originally, the family was happily vacationing by the sea, but as soon as Zhou Yuan heard that Sister Su was at the Gu family, she imdiately bought a plane ticket to co back.
Even the New Year was spent together at the Gu family’s place.
Nothing was settled yet, but she clung to them like this.
Mr. Zhou even heard the whispers of others.
“Who’s that girl? Why is she always following Mr. Gu?”
“She’s so shaless, look how Mr. Gu simply ignores her.”
“Exactly.”
…
Su ixi was working when suddenly Fang Xin pulled her aside.
Fang Xin’s tone was fierce, “Tell honestly, why are you carrying plates here? Were you fired from the hospital? I worked hard to support your education, not to have you wait tables here!”
“I wasn’t fired.” Su ixi said.
“Then why are you here?”
“I’ll show you two photos in a bit, then you’ll understand.” Su ixi said.
Before she finished speaking, Mdm. Zhang ca over rebuking, “Didn’t I say no chatting? What are you doing here?”
Fang Xin, fearing her wages would be docked, turned and slipped away.
Su ixi looked towards Mdm. Zhang.
Her gaze held not a trace of fear. Such a gaze even intimidated Mdm. Zhang for a mont.
This was the deanor of a young mistress!
Su ixi was indeed the young mistress of this family.
Mdm. Zhang dared not say much, just said, “It’s too busy outside, you better go help quickly.”
“I need to use the restroom,” Su ixi said indifferently, then walked toward the villa’s main door.
“The restroom for the staff is in…”
Seeing Su ixi didn’t turn back, Mdm. Zhang didn’t dare to continue.
Su ixi was not a true maid, after all, one couldn’t expect her to use the staff restroom.
…
As Su ixi passed the venue, soone called her, “Waitress, could you help …”
However, Su ixi did not respond.
The guest felt embarrassed to be angry; perhaps she genuinely hadn’t heard.
Su ixi returned to the living room.
There was a recent family portrait of the Gu family in the living room, Gu Cheng and Gu Wei were there with Qiu Yurou.
She took a photo of the family portrait, then silently walked out.
