Chapter 103
Qingxi has seen gossip news about countless celebrities in the newspaper, including Gu Huaixiu and movie star Wen Xia last time, but she never expected that one day she would become the protagonist of this gossip news.
"Mr. Gu San is a widow and not close to women. After four years of returning to China, he has never had a close relationship in Shen and Hangzhou. Last weekend, the third master drove on a trip with Manager Xu. The two set off at around 9 am and returned to the villa at noon. After that, Manager Xu stayed in the villa for another hour and a half before leaving quietly."
"Shopkeeper Xu is the daughter of Xu Wangshan, the god chef in Xiucheng. He married Gu Shao Gu Mingyan when he was young. The year before yesterday, the shopkeeper Xu moved to Hangzhou and was terminated by the Gu family soon after. I wonder if it was related to Mr. Gu San, the blood relative of Mr. Gu, the third uncle."
"In any case, it is rare for a woman to fall in love with her nephew first and then date her uncle. It seems that Manager Xu is indeed a woman who is not as good as a man, has extraordinary cooking skills, and has the courage to be far superior to ordinary women in terms of emotions."
Looking at the above thought-provoking cubes, Qingxi's hands were trembling.
She and Gu Mingyan broke off the engagement first and fell in love with Gu Huaixiu later. She was innocent. Why did the newspaper say that she seemed to be disliked by the Gu family first?
"Nothing nonsense, nothing nonsense!" Old Mrs. Xu was so angry that she cursed the newspaper reporter. Han Rong asked for a daughter-in-law, but she was not so angry.
"Don't be afraid of Qingxi, let's explain it clearly, it's okay." Lin Wanyin saw her daughter's face pale and her whole body began to tremble. She held her daughter and looked at the front yard road with concern. A group of reporters had gathered there, claiming to interview her daughter. Lin Wanyin had read many books, but for the first time she faced such a situation, she instinctively thought that their mother had clarified, and the reporters entered the newspaper to explain that the matter was not that serious.
Old Mrs. Xu has been verbally politely for countless times, and it was her first time having experienced newspaper disputes. She had no experience, and finally recognized her daughter-in-law's idea. She held her granddaughter's hand and went to the door to argue with her.
"Mom, grandmother, let's not go, otherwise we will only get darker and darker." Qingxi stopped the two elders and said in dismay. In the last Wenxia incident, Lu Duo told her that the newspaper reporters were a group of people who were afraid of the world's chaos and came to the door to interview, but they would not really listen to the parties' explanations, and would only deliberately induce the parties to fall into their problem trap, and then use a point that attracts the public to continue making up.
The newspaper in her hand is evidence. The reporter added too many speculations and didn't care about the impact those words would have on her.
Qingxi was in a mess and she could not guarantee whether she would say the wrong thing when she went to see the reporter now.
"Mom, grandmother, don't go out until the matter is settled." After reluctantly calming down, Qingxi went in return to comfort the two elders and explained the dangers of being interviewed.
Old Mrs. Xu staggered to the chair, and people said it was terrifying. As soon as this newspaper spread, everyone in Hangzhou would scold her granddaughter for being ill-behaved? She firmly opposed her granddaughter and Gu Huaixiu at the beginning, because she was afraid that Gu Huaixiu would only use her granddaughter to retaliate against the Gu family, and because she was afraid that it would affect her granddaughter's reputation. Now, it has come true.
"Blame me, I shouldn't agree to you being together even if I beat you to death!" Old Mrs. Xu covered her chest and said with great regret.
"Don't say that, it's all the blame for the reporter writing randomly. We have nothing to do with the third master." Lin Wanyin whispered to comfort her mother-in-law.
Old Mrs. Xu didn't want to listen, she couldn't listen to anything now.
My mother and mother sat in the room and were secretly anxious. Meng Jin, Master Zhao and others came back one after another.
"There are a group of people blocking the door of the noodle restaurant and you can't do business anymore." Meng Jin and Xiaolan said frowningly.
This is the case with the noodle restaurant, and the restaurant is similar. What Master Zhao and Meng Jin didn't say is that there were people in the crowd who shouted that the eldest lady was shameless and hooked up with her fiancé's uncle on her back. They also said that the young lady opened a noodle restaurant, and the money from the restaurant was taken from the third master. One person started to make a fuss, and the spectators who didn't know the truth followed suit. Some even threw things into the shop, yelling to ask the Xu family to get out of Hangzhou.
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Xu fell on the chair and almost got angry.
Qingxi lowered her head and sat on the chair. Looking back on the success of the past year, she suddenly felt that this was the real crisis she encountered after doing business.
The Gu family and the old lady Gu are warmly entertaining several card friends who often come and go.
"No wonder you have retired from the Xu family. The kind of charming woman who is hooked up everywhere must be divorced and must not be married home. Otherwise, if any ugly things happen in the future, the entire husband's family will be implicated by her." An old lady with silver hair said indignantly that the most disgusting group of old and old women who have experienced the old and new dynasties is the frivolous women who do not abide by the three obediences and four virtues.
Old Mrs. Gu held the tea bowl and sighed, "No, I was not satisfied when Shiqin made a decision to make a marriage with the other side. Now, she has lost her reputation and has also caused us to become a topic of conversation for others after dinner."
"It's okay, it's her who is flirting with her. If others want to scold her, she will also scold Mr. Gu for being unruly. Even his nephew's ex-fiancee must be involved. She has nothing to do with Mingyan." Another young lady said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Gu thought so too. In the final analysis, Qingxi was the one who suffered the most from this incident. Old Mrs. Gu had already seen Qingxi's mother and a few of her disliked her. Without Gu Huaixiu, she would have seized all the opportunity to cause trouble to the Xu family. Now she can not only attack Qingxi, but also cause trouble to Gu Huaixiu who likes Qingxi. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Listening to the noble ladies around me rushing to say that Qingxi is not the case, Old Lady Gu was very happy.
Gu Jia Textile Factory, Gu Shiqin also saw this newspaper.
He never wanted to make enemies with the third child. His business has plummeted. If the third child had something unlucky at this time, Gu Shiqin would like to see it from the bottom of his heart, but Lin Wanyin is the woman he loved deeply, Qingxi is a sensible and pitiful girl. Gu Shiqin doesn't want them to get involved in his fight with the third child.
"Mr. Gu, why did you break off the engagement with the Xu family? Is it because Manager Xu and the Third Master? "
As soon as he walked out of the textile factory, Gu Shiqin also welcomed a group of reporters to surround him.
Facing the wolf-like reporter, Gu Shiqinsu said: "Qingxi is a gentle and virtuous girl. She wants to inherit her father's business and practice cooking skills. She knows that she needs a wife who stays at home to take care of her husband and children, so Qingxi takes the initiative to find me to terminate the engagement. I can't bear to make things difficult for her, so she agreed to break the engagement. From beginning to end, this matter has nothing to do with the third brother."
Some reporters lowered their heads to sketch, while others continued to ask: "Do you know what Miss Qingxi is with the Third Master? Do you support them?"
Gu Shiqin did not answer such questions, quickly broke through the crowded reporter and got into the car.
However, his clarification turned into the newspaper, and it turned out that "the Gu family felt that Manager Xu's appearance was not suitable for taking care of his husband and children."
Gu Shiqin threw the newspaper "snap".
Old Mrs. Gu stared at him suspiciously: "Why, are you saying good things for Qingxi? Shiqin, I warn you, don't interfere with this matter. If you dare to help the Xu family again, I will go on a hunger strike for you!"
Gu Shiqin couldn't understand his mother and asked with a headache: "I understand if you hate the third brother, how did Qingxi offend you?"
Old Mrs. Gu sneered: "It's shameless that she dares to get together with the third brother. Then don't blame me for stripping her skin!"
"Mom is right, you two are fascinated by them and treat them as serious people." The eldest lady echoed sourly.
"Shut up!" Gu Shiqin did not dare to scold his mother. He showed no mercy to his wife. After glaring at her eyes, he went out like a wind.
The scandal was buzzing for two days, and on the third day, the reporters surrounded Xu's house again.
The Xu family's door was closed tightly, and no matter how the reporters clamored, no one came out inside.
Qingxi, Lin Wanyin is young and has a stronger ability to withstand. Old Mrs. Xu is about to die of depression. As soon as she gets angry, she falls ill in bed.
"Damn Gu Laosan, the disaster he caused caused my granddaughter to have a family that could not be done in business, but he didn't show his face and was eaten by his dog?" Since the beating incident happened, Mrs. Xu either opened her mouth and scolded the newspaper reporter or Gu Huaixiu. If the spitting star was saved, she could scold Gu Huaixiu with her face.
Qingxi was silently guarding her grandmother. She didn't blame Gu Huaixiu, and even more so that she shouldn't have looked up that day and asked someone to take a photo.
The inside of Xu's house was filled with sorrow. Outside of Xu's house, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time suddenly heard the sound of the car whistle.
Everyone looked towards the entrance of the alley.
Three black cars slowly drove in along the narrow alley. A reporter pointed at the leading black Buick and shouted loudly: "That's the Third Master's car!"
The reporters ran over immediately, and the car had to descend to a storm's speed. For a moment, Lao Liu Lane, which had always been quiet, was drowned by the reporter's "Third Master" and the continuous sound of car whistles. Neighbors rushed out to watch the fun, and passers-by near Nanhu also rushed over like a tide, blocking the alley.
The car finally stopped outside the Xu family's gate.
The driver jumped out of the car and opened the door respectfully.
Gu Huaixing was wearing a straight black suit, got off the car with expressionless expression, without sunglasses on her face. At the same time, the doors of the two cars behind were also opened, and the eight men in black who followed Gu Huaixing to take out the things in the car in an orderly manner. When everyone saw that the guy was full of two cars, he actually had a customary ritual used by the man in Hangzhou to propose marriage. The only difference is that the gift brought by the third master is more grand and luxurious!
"Is the Third Master here to propose marriage?"
"When did you meet Miss Qingxi?"
"Third Master..."
"San Ye, do you know that Miss Qingxi had ever had an engagement with Mr. Gu?"
Gu Huaixiu seemed to have not heard so many questions, but when a reporter mentioned Gu Mingyan, Gu Huaixiu stopped and his eyes accurately locked the reporter asking questions.
The male reporter swallowed nervously.
Gu Huaixiu replied indifferently: "I know."
The male reporter immediately asked again: "Then don't you mind? Miss Qingxi almost became your niece-in-law."
