Chapter 881: Chapter 881: You Ruined Me (Part 1)
The Gu Family is a significant enterprise both nationally and globally. In the exclusive five-star hotel, invited dignitaries and big personalities can be seen arriving.
"Manman, you’re early." Xue Ru walked toward Shuman, who came alone, and smiled, saying, "You look really beautiful today."
Xue Ru not only came today but wore formal attire, as if she was still the old madam’s favorite niece-in-law.
Shuman gave a faint smile, "Auntie, Yunsi didn’t come?"
"Ah, Yunsi, that child, has inconveniently fallen ill. Of course, today is a date she must attend, but her health is still not very good, she’s probably resting now."
Shuman, though feeling her illness is untimely, only nodded, saying, "It’s good for her to rest more."
"The unfortunate thing is, some people who shouldn’t step into the Gu Family’s doors, are showing up so openly right now." Xue Ru glanced at the entrance. The ones who entered were attracting a lot of attention, seemingly like a perfect pair.
Yet in her eyes, they were just a thorn.
Shuman smiled slightly and looked over in that direction.
"The old madam dislikes her so much, yet she truly has the nerve to show up." Xue Ru sneered. "Manman, I won’t disturb you any longer, I’ll go check on Yunsi. The rest is up to you. By the way, there are many guests here today, it’d be good for you to get acquainted, including one named Lu Kexin. She’s expecting the sole grandson of the Gu family’s lineage, yet, unluckily, she’s also someone’s half-sister and shows no respect."
Upon hearing this, Shuman glanced again at Xue Ru.
Xue Ru smiled, "I’ll head over first."
As she watched Xue Ru walk away, Shuman felt something was different about her.
But after thinking about it, even if something was different, it didn’t concern her.
Even if she wanted to clear Lu Wanwan out of the way, she wouldn’t act personally.
Self-preservation is the most important thing.
No matter how much Xue Ru emphasized the old madam’s attitude to her, she always felt Gu Annan wasn’t someone easily controlled.
The Gu old madam had even ’fallen ill’ not long ago, yet his attitude hadn’t changed.
Lu Kexin?
She had also heard the name when investigating Lu Wanwan.
"Miss Shu." Soon, a short-haired woman with a rounded belly, wearing a sweet smile, walked over with a man on her arm.
Shuman recognized her at a glance.
Lu Kexin took off her coat, "Mingze, could you put this in the cloakroom for me? I’m feeling hot right now."
Gu Mingze took it and said with a smile, "Take your time to chat."

The birthday banquet had many guests. Seeing someone approaching to talk to Gu Annan, Lu Wanwan said she would go look for Xu Yuan.
Among the guests were some familiar faces, including Gu Annan’s childhood friends and her company’s bosses, Jiu Rong and Jiu Li.
It was odd that she hadn’t seen Gu Yunsi, who previously wanted to delete the recording on her phone, these past two days.
"Give me ten minutes, I’ll be there soon!" Xu Yuan texted on WeChat to let her know she was on her way.
Coming out of the bathroom, she was suddenly confronted by a pair of resentful eyes staring at her.
"It’s you." Lu Wanwan was startled to see Gu Yunsi.
She wasn’t surprised she came but shocked by her state, her face almost sickly pale, lacking any makeup to conceal it.
The plain white dress she wore was at best clean but hardly suitable for such a grand occasion.
"Lu Wanwan, are you happy? Are you satisfied?" Gu Yunsi’s steps seemed unsteady as if she had drunk too much.
