The Substitute Bride
She had already tried, but Lu Qichen seemed to have no interest in her at all. It seemed a bit difficult to make Lu Qichen fall in love with her. But the thought of handing over such a good man as Lu Qichen to Ye Zhiqiu was something Gu Yanfei was unwilling to do, so she nodded, 'Mom, don't worry, I will make Lu Qichen fall in love with me no matter what this time.' The thought of the scene where Ye Zhiqiu was abandoned by Lu Qichen made Gu Yanfei secretly delighted. 'This is my good daughter.' Seeing Gu Yanfei's determined look, Ye Wenlan couldn't help but smile, her eyes filled with affection. She had completely forgotten that the other girl in this relationship was also her own biological daughter. 'Yanfei, about Zeng Wei...' When Ye Wenlan mentioned this name, Gu Yanfei frowned slightly, 'Since you've decided to be with Lu Qichen, I have to remind you, you must clean things up with that side, if Lu Qichen finds out, our whole family will suffer.' Gu Yanfei frowned, to be honest, she really felt a bit reluctant to break up with Zeng Wei. Zeng Wei was someone she met at a bar, although his family wasn't very well-off, he was handsome, like a popular young heartthrob that had recently become very famous, and most importantly, his words could make Gu Yanfei happy every day. But compared to a handsome, wealthy, and successful man like Lu Qichen, Zeng Wei was still far behind, so Gu Yanfei gritted her teeth and made up her mind, 'Don't worry, Mom, I will handle it well.'
Ye Wenlan took Gu Yanfei out of the kitchen, only to see Ye Zhiqiu and Lu Qichen sitting on the sofa chatting. The sight of the two huddled together ignited Gu Yanfei's anger. She flung off Ye Wenlan's hand and rushed over to them. 'Cousin, brother-in-law. What are you talking about? Looking so happy?'
Ye Zhiqiu turned her face away, silent, while Lu Qichen, on the other hand, spoke to Ye Wenlan, 'Mom, there was a last-minute call from the company, I have to rush over there now, I won't be having lunch here today.'
Without giving Ye Wenlan a chance to speak, Lu Qichen stood up, pulling Ye Zhiqiu with him, 'I've already assigned someone to deal with the matters of Gu's Corporation. If Dad needs funds, just let me know, we'll be leaving now.'
Ye Zhiqiu and Lu Qichen had just been discussing a plan, and the next second, Lu Qichen was pulling her away. Although it was quite unexpected, to be honest, she couldn't be happier.
Facing the two hypocritical faces of Ye Wenlan and Gu Yanfei, how could she eat?
'But... but why are you leaving just after coming?' Ye Wenlan was taken aback. Although Lu Qichen had repeatedly assured her that he would help Gu's Corporation through this difficult time, Ye Wenlan was not satisfied with this now. She glared at Ye Zhiqiu beside her and scolded, 'Did you make Qichen angry?'
'Mom...' Lu Qichen frowned, 'She is my wife now.'
One sentence stopped the scolding words in Ye Wenlan's throat.
Yes, she was married now, and couldn't be scolded just as one wished.
'Let's go.'
Lu Qichen spoke softly to Ye Zhiqiu in front of him, 'How could Gu Yanfei just let these two people leave like this? She hurriedly stood in front of them, 'Cousin, brother-in-law, since you've come, why not have a meal before you leave? It won't take long.' Gu Yanfei said with a beaming smile. As the saying goes, one should not hit a person who is smiling. But Ye Zhiqiu was not someone who played by the rules. She smiled, 'What your brother-in-law lacks is precisely this moment.' 'Pfft!' Lu Qichen couldn't help but laugh beside her; it was the first time he realized how sarcastic she could be. 'You...' Gu Yanfei was so angry that her face turned pale, and she walked over to Lu Qichen with a pout, coquettishly hooking her arm around his, 'Brother-in-law, look at my sister...' 'Miss Ye, show some respect,' Lu Qichen said coldly, his eyes flashing with a cold light as he looked at Gu Yanfei. He brushed off her hand with a look of disgust, as if he were looking at trash. Gu Yanfei couldn't help but grind her teeth in anger. 'Alright, alright,' in the end, it was Ye Wenlan who came to break the deadlock, 'Zhiqiu, stop making trouble. Your brother-in-law is a man of great affairs...' Ye Wenlan turned her smiling face to look at Ye Zhiqiu, 'Yanfei, it's understandable that Qichen is busy, but today is the weekend, and it's rare for you to come back. Why not have a meal at home before you leave?' 'Yes...' Gu Yanfei also said in a sarcastic tone from the side, 'What could you possibly be so busy with.'
After Lu Qichen left, she definitely had to teach Ye Zhiqiu a lesson. But Lu Qichen didn't give them the chance. He reached out and put his arm around Ye Zhiqiu's shoulder, 'No need, I have to take Zhiqiu to meet a friend at noon. Mom, please help me apologize to Dad, we'll make it up next time.' 'But...' Gu Yanfei wanted to say something more, but Ye Wenlan beside her pulled her back, 'Well then, take good care of yourselves, and come back when you have time.' Only then did Lu Qichen lead Ye Zhiqiu away by the hand. Gu Yanfei stared at their retreating figures, clenching her fists, 'Mom, why do you always protect that Ye Zhiqiu? If you let her stay, I will definitely take care of her and let her know that not every man is within her reach.' 'You know, if you don't change this temper of yours, even if you marry into the Lu family, you'll suffer a big loss,' Ye Wenlan sighed, 'To Lu Qichen, Ye Zhiqiu is his wife now, and you're just a distant relative. Next... you should break things off with Zeng Wei completely. I heard that Xiangyu is hiring a secretary, you should try to apply. When you're with Lu Qichen day and night, are you afraid he won't like you?' Thinking about it, Gu Yanfei felt that Ye Wenlan made sense, and she smiled satisfactorily, just in time to receive a call from Zeng Wei, and she ran to the side with a frown to answer it. Seeing that Gu Yanfei had been gone for so long after going home to get money, Zeng Wei became anxious and hurriedly called to urge, 'Baby, why haven't you come back yet? I'm getting really worried.'
Originally, Gu Yanfei would have been very pleased to hear such an intimate term of address, but today, she felt nothing but disgust, 'Zeng Wei, I have something to tell you. Let's meet at the Blue Bay Cafe in half an hour.' Gu Yanfei drove herself to the cafe, and when she arrived, Zeng Wei had not yet shown up. After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Zeng Wei finally arrived, albeit belatedly.
