Ch 106: Giving Shen Mingyue A Laxative Before The Meeting
But she stubbornly helped them escape that den of iniquity.
Shen Mingxia could hardly conceal her excitement, and at the same time, she secretly vowed in her heart to work hard at the clothing store, help her older sister sell more goods, and make more money, in order to repay her gratitude.
During dinner that evening, Gu Jianjun suddenly asked about the day after tomorrow.
“Yuanyang, you’ll be receiving foreign guests the day after tomorrow, right? Are you and Mingyue both prepared?”
Gu Yuanzhou had mentioned this matter before, and Gu Jianjun kept it in mind; he generally paid more attention to matters related to his son’s future.
Gu Yuanzhou put down his chopsticks, “Yes, it’s the day after tomorrow. Don’t worry, Dad, I’m prepared, and Mingyue is prepared too.”
Gu Jianjun naturally knew his son was fine; he was worried about Shen Mingyue. Although Shen Mingyue had given them many surprises, it was still a case of cramming for an exam; she couldn’t compare to those female comrades who had a solid foundation from years of study.
Before, he had never considered letting Shen Mingyue participate in these activities; after all, going would only bring shame to their family.
The reason he had relented now was that he had seen Shen Mingyue’s effort, but even so, he was still uneasy.
This is a national matter; there might be people recording on site, and many people from the media and newspapers will be there.
If Shen Mingyue loses face, not only will their entire Gu family be shamed, but the nation will also be shamed. There’s no way around it; Gu Yuanzhou is a diplomat; his negotiations represent the face of the people.
As his wife, Shen Mingyue is the same.
“Mingyue, don’t be nervous then; if you don’t understand anything, just ask Yuanyang. Dad believes you will definitely be able to successfully complete the task.”
Shen Mingyue knew her old man was hinting at her; while saying he believed in her, he was actually worried sick.
“Dad, I will definitely perform well at this occasion; I will absolutely not bring shame to the Gu family, nor to the nation. You can rest assured.”
Gu Sisi listened from the side and couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She was quite capable of making big talk, but don’t let her be useless in a crucial moment and make her second brother share her shame.
Zhou Xiaofei, however, clutched her chopsticks. She had heard about this before, but so much time had passed that she had forgotten.
Now that she heard Gu Jianjun mention it again, she had more ideas.
If it were before, she would only laugh at Shen Mingyue; going would only be shameful, and her second brother would surely despise her, and the two of them would drift further apart; at most, they would only be nominally a couple.
But she had witnessed Shen Mingyue’s spoken language ability and knew that not only would she not be ashamed if she went, but she might even be admired by Gu Yuanzhou.
This was definitely not what she wanted to see – a country bumpkin who, in such a short time, could accompany her second brother to such an important meeting.
And she had struggled in the Gu family for nearly ten years, not only failing to win Gu Yuanzhou’s heart, but now being lectured by him; the disparity was too great; she really couldn’t accept it.
“If you say so, I’ll feel relieved. This child of yours is perceptive and learns quickly. Dad believes you have the ability. Go, we all support you.”
Shen Mingyue nodded. Whether those words were sincere or not, they sounded quite comfortable.
Gu Yuanyang, listening to their conversation from the side, lost his appetite.
His gaze darted back and forth between his second brother and Shen Mingyue, finally settling on Shen Mingyue.
The current Shen Mingyue was vastly different from when she first arrived. Her figure was curvaceous, her clothes were elegant and appropriate, and because she ate well, her face had gained some flesh, making her charm even more striking.
Passing by his older brother’s bedroom, Gu Yuanyang overheard some things; Shen Mingyue’s spoken language was excellent, to a degree that even he admired.
How many more surprises did this woman have waiting to be discovered? In the blink of an eye, she was already able to stand beside her second brother without being outshone.
He had a faint premonition that perhaps his initial decision was a mistake; Shen Mingyue’s ability could earn everyone’s respect for her.
After dinner, Wang Cuie and Shen Mingxia circled around Shen Mingyue. They didn’t understand how important this meeting was, but they knew that the Provincial People’s Hospital was accompanying Gu Yuanzhou to the event, and there were foreigners, even royalty.
Royalty, just like the emperors of the past, are not ordinary people, are they?
Wang Cuie’s heart pounded just thinking about it.
Her daughter was too amazing; she wouldn’t even dare to think about these things.
No wonder she wasn’t her biological daughter; she couldn’t have given birth to such an excellent daughter.
Thinking of this, Wang Cuie sighed; she wondered what kind of person her daughter’s biological mother was. She thought she must not be an ordinary person; genes are quite important.
You can see it from the Gu family; the children Gu Jianjun and Tian Shufang had were extraordinary.
Although Gu Sisi wasn’t as outstanding as her two older brothers, she wasn’t bad in terms of appearance and other aspects.
After dinner, Zhou Xiaofei went out to find Song Xue.
Since the last incident was exposed, Song Xue had been listless, and with Shen Mingyue deliberately annoying her, she had been lacking motivation at work recently.
Seeing Zhou Xiaofei come over, she was also unenthusiastic.
Last time, she had been tricked by this woman; couldn’t she have written the whistleblower letter herself? She had to have her write it, causing her to be utterly humiliated.
“Why are you here? Do you need something?”
Zhou Xiaofei got straight to the point, directly mentioning Shen Mingyue’s attendance at the meeting with Gu Yuanzhou the day after tomorrow.
Song Xue glanced at her, “So? I’ve known about this for a long time. Why are you telling me this?”
Zhou Xiaofei clenched her fists, no longer being secretive, but instead speaking frankly.
“Shen Mingyue is not worthy of my second brother; she doesn’t deserve to enter our Gu family’s door; their marriage cannot last long. I have a plan, I don’t know if you’re willing to listen? If it succeeds, my second brother will surely dislike her later, and she will become a laughingstock in the eyes of everyone.”
Last time, Zhou Xiaofei had dug a pit for her, but when she threw out the bait again, Song Xue couldn’t help but take the bait again.
Because the last two sentences from Zhou Xiaofei were very appealing to her.
Gu Yuanzhou despising Shen Mingyue? No longer protecting her, and eventually getting divorced from her.
This was great news. Even if it didn’t end up with her, she would be happy.
Because Shen Mingyue was simply immoral, cruel and heartless, a scheming and vicious woman.
She swallowed, raised her eyebrows, and asked, “What’s the plan? Let’s hear it.”
Zhou Xiaofei narrowed her eyes, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.
“I don’t know if you can get a laxative. My idea is to have her take a sufficient amount of laxative before she attends the meeting; then, in such an important occasion, she’ll soil her pants. I wonder if her second brother will still like her.”
Zhou Xiaofei’s scheme was vicious; a strong laxative would be impossible to hold back. If Shen Mingyue soiled her pants in front of the distinguished foreign guests, it wouldn’t just be Shen Mingyue losing face, Gu Yuanzhou and the others would also lose face terribly.
