I'll do it as soon as I open my eyes. If the villain doesn't do it, I'll do it.

Chapter 8

"Two big-butt men, just recognize whose child it is, don't make excuses." Guan Yu took back Ji Jinzhou's high heels, put them on and looked up to talk to Pei Li, "Big sister, if you have any difficulties, tell me, I'll see if I can help."

Pei Li: "......" Is it a hindrance? What she heard was a hindrance, right?

Guan Yu was a little unsteady on her feet, so Ji Jinzhou helped her up. With a sullen look on his face, he waited for her to slowly put on her shoes, then let her go with a cold snort.

Guan Yu stood firm, holding Ji Jinzhou and Gu Tezhu in one hand, and walked past them, stopping. "I can't help you with a big favor, and I may not want to help you with a small favor, but if you have something, just let me know. Anyway, you don't have my contact information."

Pei Li nodded with an indescribable look, and seeing Ji Jinzhou's sadness and grievance faded a lot, "...Thank you."

"It was just something I said casually."

She grabbed the sleeves of both men's arms and walked into the path leading to the hall.

Ji Lingheng stared at the backs of the three of them leaving in a daze: "...She just said, 'I don't want to help with big things, and I'm too lazy to help with small things', right?"

Pei Li said "hmm" with difficulty.

She sounded so righteous!

On the corridor, Special Assistant Gu once again exclaimed: "Madam is such a woman, a woman among women, how can a woman be so thick-skinned and speak such bold nonsense so comfortably?"

"Practice makes perfect, and self-taught people become talented." Guan Yu said modestly.

There are ancient paintings and wall lamps hanging on both sides of the two corridors. Porcelain is placed every few steps. There are dark patterns on the edges of the white walls, and the entire corridor is covered with antique carpets.

Guan Yu's eyes flashed with amazement. She was an art student in high school and applied for a design major in college. She seemed to have seen this kind of ancient-style carpet in some obscure ancient European aesthetics book. "Your designer has a good aesthetic sense."

Ji Jinzhou raised his eyebrows with a look of joy in his eyes, "Really? I designed it."

"It's fake," Guan Yu quickly put away her expression, unable to bear his smug look, "It actually looks like a hotel."

Ji Jinzhou:?

The three of them walked through a long corridor and finally arrived at a bright and spacious hall. On the sofas and scattered around were people toasting and chatting, all of them with extraordinary conversation.

At the door, I happened to bump into a middle-aged woman wearing a moon-white cheongsam with dark patterns. She had drooping eyes and willow-shaped eyebrows. She looked like a beauty nurtured in the last century. She was spoiled and had an outgoing sharpness. She looked Guan Yu up and down and said something sarcastic:

"Hey, who is this? A hollow carrot, good-looking but useless." She curled her lips, "I heard you were scolded online again? You've been doing stupid things all your life, you're really determined, you really can't tell north from south, you're really stupid."

"Eat your meal, or the old lady will say we treated you unfairly." She curled the corners of her lips provocatively at Guan Yu, then swayed away.

As soon as Guan Yu came out, she was suddenly scolded. She even suspected that the scolding was directed at Special Assistant Gu and never thought that the scolding was directed at herself.

"Bah! Evil-minded old woman!" After she left, Guan Yu finally realized what was happening and yelled at her from behind, "It's destined to be extinct, God bless you."

She found that the two men beside her suddenly fell silent, and both had very indescribable expressions, especially Ji Jinzhou, who looked very unhappy.

Guan Yu then remembered to ask, "By the way, who is she? Why did she scold me for no reason?"

"My mother." Ji Jinzhou said concisely.

Guan Yu: “…”

Special Assistant Gu laughed awkwardly to smooth things over, "Madam, you are really something, haha, what a coincidence."

Guan Yu also laughed dryly, thinking: This scolding is destined to be his.

Ji Jinzhou tilted his head and smiled fakely, but the next second he quickly put away his smile and returned to his indifference, "Is it funny? Hurry up and leave."

-

The three of them were the first to sit down. Dishes were served one after another on the table. From the head to the foot of the table, it was estimated that there were more than a hundred plates.

"Madam can also estimate with eyes." Special Assistant Gu looked surprised, "What if there are not enough places for more than a hundred plates?"

Guan Yu looked indifferent: "That means I made a wrong judgment."

Special Assistant Gu: “…” Madam is really an open-minded person.

The other gossipy women scattered around the hall took their seats one after another. They followed a fixed routine before each sitting down. They looked at Guan Yu with disdain and said in a sarcastic tone, "Is this the wife that the old lady insisted on Jinzhou marrying?"

The topics of ridicule either revolved around her gossips or were dissatisfaction with her for showing up in public and ruining the reputation of the Ji family.

Guan Yu had already prepared herself mentally in advance, because she knew that the heroine Jiang Suan would also come and attend the family dinner with the adopted son of the Ji family, Li Tingnan, the hero of the book. These bad guys were all monsters prepared for her, and they were all villains.

The purpose of their existence is to target the heroine Jiang Suan, ridicule her, mock her, and create misunderstandings and estrangements between the male and female protagonists.

As for Guan Yu, she was just an innocent passerby who was ridiculed.

At the beginning, Guan Yu was quite relaxed: "Okay, okay, I won't show my face in public, I will sacrifice my life and shed my blood."

"What's wrong with not being as capable as you? You'll die before me, so I'll let you go."

"We are not in a hurry to have children, we are more in a hurry to die."

After more than a dozen rounds, Guan Yu couldn't stand it anymore. No matter how good she was at arguing with a group of scholars, she couldn't stand the round-by-round personal attacks. She simply raised her hands to cover her ears and told Ji Jinzhou:

"Wait a minute, let me see your lip shape. If it's a bad comment, don't let me hear it, and then help me to curse back. Got it?"

Ji Jinzhou thought for a moment, "Why?"

"Because I'm your wife."

"You can't order me around."

"Why."

"Because I'm the president, you can't order me around."

"Only useless men would let their wives be scolded." Guan Yu poked his chest, "Do you think they are scolding me? In fact, they are stepping on me and scolding you."

Ji Jinzhou figured it out and spoke slowly, "I see. When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner first."

Guan Yu paused, her face full of confusion: "That's not what I meant..."

Ji Jinzhou's gaze shifted slightly to her upper left, and he said in a neutral voice, "Another person is coming."

Guan Yu immediately covered her ears and said, "Remember to curse back for me."

Ji Jinzhou knew from a young age that he was the material to be a domineering CEO, so he didn't like to talk to his family since he was a child: "I don't want to talk too much."

“Then you bounce back.”

These relatives are like NPCs with emotions set by the author, mechanically repeating the same process: getting close, comparing, and scolding Guan Yu.

In a world that Guan Yu couldn't hear, she stared at their mouths opening and closing, then looked at Ji Jinzhou expectantly, but Ji Jinzhou was the only one who said a few words back and forth, "It's a bad review, don't listen to it."

"Aunt, bounce back."

"This is also a bad review, don't listen to it."

"Aunt, bounce back."

“It’s still a bad review.”

"Third aunt, rebound."

"..."

Guan Yu was numb to hearing this: Why are there only bad reviews online and offline!

People at the long table sat down one by one, until today's protagonists, Pei Li and Ji Lingheng, pushed open the door and came in. The cheerful and noisy atmosphere froze for a moment before someone started talking.

"Is this the girlfriend Ling Heng brought back?"

"To put it nicely, she's a girlfriend. To put it bluntly, she's just a frequent bedmate."

"Ling Heng brought this kind of woman back home. Isn't he afraid that his father will be mad to death?"

"..."

The ridicule, which was no less than Guan Yu's, fell accurately into the ears of Pei Li and Ji Lingheng. There was no emotion on Ji Lingheng's face, but Pei Li acted as if he didn't hear it. He took Ji Lingheng's arm and walked towards them calmly, greeting them gracefully.

There happened to be an empty seat next to Guan Yu. Pei Li nodded politely to her and sat down next to her.

She originally thought that the woman next to her would not look at her in a good light if she heard that she had feelings for her husband. At least in this situation, keeping a low profile was the best outcome.

Who knew that she looked at herself a few times, hesitant to speak, and said with some emotion: "They all scolded me, luckily you came, everyone started scolding you, thank you so much."

Pei Li:?

Ji Jinzhou glanced at her sideways, "It seems like I have blocked all these insults for you, right?"

"Only a useless husband—"

Guan Yu was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Ji Jinzhou. He stared at Ji Lingheng meaningfully, put one hand on the backrest of Guan Yu's seat, and leaned back to provoke, "Lingheng, only useless men will let women get scolded. Do you think they are scolding you, a woman? In fact, they are scolding you."

Guan Yu nudged his waist with her elbow in dissatisfaction, "Are you polite? I have a name, Pei Li."

Ji Jinzhou felt pain and said, "I know."

Pei Li and Ji Lingheng both had dark eyes. Only Special Assistant Gu looked at them with a motherly smile:

The lady trains the eldest brother like he is training a dog.
