Ch 29: I Won’t Say Who’s Jealous
Gu Yuanzhou just got off work and came back. Thinking he returned early today, he planned to ask Shen Mingyue about opening the shop.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the compound, he saw this scene: his wife was being chatted up by another man.
Shen Mingyue was also clearly surprised. With a strange expression, she glanced behind Zeng Tian and slowly spoke.
“I don’t have a partner.”
A smile appeared on Zeng Tian’s impudent face, and a bit more warmth appeared in his eyes.
Behind him, Gu Yuanzhou looked at Shen Mingyue in astonishment, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
This woman, she’s already gotten a marriage certificate, has a child, and yet she’s saying this to another male comrade.
“Okay, I don’t know what family you’re related to?”
Zeng Tian continued to ask. He hadn’t seen this person in the compound, indicating that she was a relative, otherwise, she was so pretty, there was no reason he wouldn’t remember her.
Shen Mingyue gave a playful smile and tilted her head slightly.
“Comrade, I haven’t finished yet. I don’t have a partner, but I’m married.”
The smile on Zeng Tian’s face instantly froze. Was this woman teasing him? She was already married! An indescribable irritation welled up in his heart, but he still continued to ask, “Is that so? I wonder which family this comrade is married into?”
At this time, a faint male voice came from behind.
“My family.”
Zeng Tian turned his head. Upon seeing that it was Gu Yuanzhou, his expression changed drastically. He glanced at Shen Mingyue, then at Gu Yuanzhou, clearly somewhat disbelieving.
“Is this female comrade your wife?”
Gu Yuanzhou walked towards Shen Mingyue and calmly took her hand.
“Exactly.”
Zeng Tian’s expression suddenly became as disgusting as if he had swallowed a fly.
“Didn’t you say you weren’t getting married? How come you suddenly changed your mind?”
Shen Mingyue watched the two men talk, also surprised. It seemed that their relationship wasn’t very good, but they were quite familiar, like rivals who loved and killed each other.
“I didn’t know when you became the women’s director.”
Gu Yuanzhou curled his lips, implying that Zeng Tian was gossiping.
Zeng Tian quickly understood, his face darkened. He looked at Shen Mingyue once, then directly turned and left.
The weather was already hot, and Gu Yuanzhou was still holding her hand, his palm sweating a lot.
Seeing Zeng Tian leave, Shen Mingyue unceremoniously shook off his hand.
“Didn’t you work overtime today?”
The two of them walked home while talking. Gu Yuanzhou saw Shen Mingyue not mentioning the previous incident, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly.
“No.”
After that, the two of them didn’t speak again. When they got home, Tian Shufang was playing with Nannan. Seeing them both return together, she was a little surprised.
“Mingyue, did you finish the shop matters?”
Shen Mingyue nodded. “Yes, the goods have been put on display, and we can officially open tomorrow.”
Tian Shufang spoke, then saw the dress Shen Mingyue was wearing, and her eyes lit up.
“Where did you buy this dress? The neighboring city?”
Previously, Shen Mingyue wore clothes that Tian Shufang bought for her. Tian Shufang was certainly not stingy, and the clothes she bought were of superior quality.
But compared to the dress Shen Mingyue was wearing now, they instantly looked inferior.
This pink dress not only made Shen Mingyue’s skin look like snow, but also made her figure appear particularly slender. Furthermore, it was very feminine.
Women, no matter how old they are, love beauty. Seeing such a beautiful dress, anyone would want to ask about it.
“Mom, does it look good? I picked this out from the batch of goods I brought in this time. Besides pink, there are red and black ones. If you like it, I’ll get one for you later.”
Tian Shufang was indeed a little tempted; this dress would definitely look good on her.
“How can I let you lose money? I’ll buy one at your shop tomorrow. Consider it as supporting your work.”
Shen Mingyue nodded secretly. This mother-in-law was different; she had good judgment.
However, she wasn’t worried about her business at all. The eyes of the masses are sharp; beautiful things are always beautiful.
At that time, everyone’s figures were relatively slender; there were no particularly fat female comrades. On the one hand, food was insufficient; on the other hand, people were very active.
Basically everyone had a job, they were busy every day, so it wasn’t easy to eat until they weighed two hundred jin.
So the clothes she sold in her shop looked good on everyone.
Gu Sisi and Zhou Xiaofei just came out of the bedroom and were about to eat when they heard Tian Shufang say this, and they both inwardly scoffed.
What kind of goods could that country bumpkin bring in? Her family really gave her face. They probably bought it and just threw it in the closet to gather dust.
But when the two of them walked into the living room and saw Shen Mingyue standing there, graceful and elegant, their eyes nearly popped out.
Clothes make the man, and Shen Mingyue was already pretty. Wearing this dress, she was really no different from a star.
Zhou Xiaofei and Gu Sisi were at an age where they loved beauty, especially Gu Sisi. Her academic performance was average, and she liked to compete with her female classmates at school.
Food, clothing, and housing, nothing could be lacking. Now, seeing such a beautiful dress, their eyes were glued to it.
Shen Mingyue saw everything, and gave a cold laugh in her heart.
Tian Shufang saw the two of them come out and couldn’t help but laugh and say, “It seems your second sister-in-law has quite good taste. I don’t know where she got the goods from, but they look really pretty.”
Gu Sisi’s eyes were about to fall out, but her mouth was stubborn.
“Pretty? I don’t think so. It’s flashy, it doesn’t look serious.”
Tian Shufang frowned and glared at her.
“You clearly have no taste. I think it’s very pretty.”
Zhou Xiaofei looked at Gu Yuanzhou behind Shen Mingyue and couldn’t help but bite her lip. Shen Mingyue was too pretty. Even though she was from the countryside, she was so good at dressing herself, and the hair clips she wore were more fashionable than hers.
What if Gu Yuanzhou fell for her?
Gu Sisi also thought Shen Mingyue’s clothes looked good, but she refused to admit it, standing on the same front line as Zhou Xiaofei.
After dinner, Shen Mingyue went back to her room early. She had been running around all day and was very tired. Pregnancy really made a difference; her constitution couldn’t compare to before.
A while ago, the two of them were playing with Nannan in the living room, but now the child had already gone back to their room with their grandparents.
“Tired?”
Shen Mingyue glanced at Gu Yuanzhou.
“A little.”
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t tell her to give up opening the shop. Since they had come this far, they naturally had to make a name for themselves.
Shen Mingyue reached out and patted her back twice. At this moment, she missed her massage master from her past life.
The next second, her arm was placed in front of her, followed by a moderate strength tapping on her waist.
Gu Yuanzhou was helping her massage her back.
Shen Mingyue felt a little embarrassed.
“No need, it’s not that uncomfortable, I can just pat myself a couple of times.”
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t reply, but changed the topic to Zeng Tian.
“How do you know Zeng Tian?”
Shen Mingyue was stunned. “Who is Zeng Tian?”
Gu Yuanzhou’s hand paused.
“The one at the compound entrance just now.”
Shen Mingyue suddenly understood and recounted what happened in the neighboring city.
