If you want a husband, you have to fight for it.

Everyone surrounding Guan Baishu left, and she came to Wan Chuncao and the others alone.

It was as if I passed by inadvertently, or as if I chose to stop because I heard Wan Chuncao's pedantic words while passing by.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was coming for Yu Xiu.

"Mrs. Xu has always been like this. She has a strong control desire at home and wants to control everything. If she can't control it, she will do it even if it means losing face."

Guan Baishu smiled coldly at Xiu: "After so many years, you haven't changed at all."

"In her early years, she interfered with her son's overseas study, interfered with her husband's emotional relationships, and ignored others."

She glanced at Wan Chuncao and said, "Now you are interfering in other people's marriage affairs again."

"You still manage everything."

These words seemed to indicate a break between them. Except for Wan Chuncao, everyone present knew that they were not getting along, so they kept quiet.

Facing the Bai family, Yu Xiu already knew how to respond, but her expression almost collapsed. However, she still fought back well: "It's not the turn of outsiders to meddle in our family affairs."

Yu Xiu’s counterattack was very good, which is why most people would not interfere between them.

The insults between them were not one-sided, but a back-and-forth process.

Wan Chuncao could see that there seemed to be a stiffness on Guan Baishu's indifferent face.

Blink again and it's gone.

Guan Baishu raised the cup in his hand and saluted: "Then you must take good care of your family affairs. After all, few people know how hard you have worked along the way. If they knew, I would not know how to sympathize with you."

Yu Xiu's face was also frozen, and she also raised a teacup in the air: "No need to worry about it, Miss Guan."

Guan Baishu didn't say anything, just raised his glass again and left.

But the smile on her lips showed her victory.

Sure enough, after Guan Baishu left, Yu Xiu's expression was still so ugly.

The ladies all advised her, "She just came back, don't get angry with her over such a small matter."

"That's right. Over the years, you've seen it like this every time. You've become accustomed to it. There's no need to be angry."

"She's just a girl. You're an adult and you can't argue with her."

Yu Xiu didn’t know whether she listened to the ladies’ words of consolation or not. She just turned around to look at Wan Chuncao.

Seeing Wan Chuncao with a confused look on her face, she said to her, "Ignore that girl and stay away from her."

Finally, thinking that Wan Chuncao might not have understood, he whispered in her ear: "That young lady is arrogant and domineering, and looks down on others."

Wan Chuncao looked at Yu Xiu, then looked at the crowd that was gradually gathering again over there and nodded.

Guan Baishu is not a girl, she has the capital to be arrogant.

When Mrs. Lin, the host of the banquet, came out like the moon surrounded by stars, she ignored everyone and walked straight to Guan Baishu and took Guan Baishu's hand.

Mrs. Lin took Guan Baishu's hand intimately and said, "Baishu is now the manager of our overseas branch, and she is a great contributor to our family. She finally returned to China recently. I invited her to come to our house for a gathering. You must do our family's honor and not embarrass President Guan."

Mrs. Lin introduced someone so solemnly and praised him so highly, which clearly showed how much she valued him.

Who among those present couldn't see it? People around him responded one after another, praising Guan Baishu as a talented, elite and capable person.

After introducing Guan Baishu, Mrs. Lin took Guan Baishu by the hand to talk to others. The people she met all seemed to be distinguished guests of noble status.

Since the focus was there, no one else had anything to do, and Yu Xiu continued chatting with the three ladies around her.

Maybe because she was afraid that Wan Chuncao would show her shyness, or maybe for some other reason, Yu Xiu no longer brought Wan Chuncao with her when chatting with these ladies, and her figure also intentionally or unintentionally blocked Wan Chuncao's view.

Wan Chuncao was happy to have some free time. She picked up the tea and pastries on the table and started eating and drinking by herself.

These ladies talked about everything, and Wan Chuncao, who was eating and drinking nearby, also listened.

She heard them talk about which beauty salon had a new service that could smooth out fine lines around the eyes, and about which company had operational problems, but more importantly, they talked about the reasons behind the company's problems.

It's nothing more than that women can't control men at home, and they are turned upside down by women outside. When the news is exposed, the stock market will decline.

These things sounded novel at first, but became boring the second time, so Wan Chuncao no longer wanted to stay.

Yu Xiu didn't pay much attention to her, so she went to find some pastries from another table to eat.

From other tables, it gradually moved to the front door, and finally to outside the front door.

After eating and drinking, Wan Chuncao went out for a walk.

I didn’t walk too far, I just stood in front of the window under the corridor and admired the flowers in the yard.

Perhaps rich people also pay attention to Feng Shui. The flowers in Mrs. Lin's house are so colorful, red and lush.

Wan Chuncao stood by the window, watching quietly.

After a while, I heard the sound of footsteps behind me.

It is the crisp sound of high heels stepping on the marble floor.

Wan Chuncao did not look back, but stood by the window admiring the blooming flowers.

The footsteps stopped behind Wan Chuncao and did not move further.

"pat-"

An inappropriate sound was heard in the quiet corridor.

Wan Chuncao turned around and saw someone behind him. He didn't call out to them and just walked forward.

The people behind her followed her closely.

After stopping at the corner, Wan Chuncao raised his chin and reminded the people behind him: "There is no surveillance here."

Guan Baishu smiled lightly, took out a cigarette and gave it to Wan Chuncao.

She leaned against the wall and relit the half-lit cigarette with a "click".

After lighting the cigarette, Wan Chuncao borrowed a lighter and lit the one that Guan Baishu gave her.

At the smoke point, the quiet corner was filled with lingering smoke.

The flames from two lit cigarettes were jumping in the smoke, but one of them was jumping very fast, while the other one was behaving normally without any major changes.

Halfway through smoking a cigarette, Guan Baishu raised his eyes lazily: "Don't know how to smoke?"

Wan Chuncao held a cigarette in her hand skillfully and said honestly: "No, but I like the smell of cigarettes."

Guan Baishu smiled contemptuously: "Oh, I forgot that you good girls don't smoke. You just like cigarettes because they are contaminated by men's smoking, and you like the smell of men."

Wan Chuncao looked at her and smiled slightly: "You know, Xu Muyu doesn't smoke."

Shaking off the cigarette ash on his hand, Guan Baishu raised his eyes again, smiled contemptuously, and walked away.

Wan Chuncao didn't rush to catch up, she just said: "No outside, my breasts are big and mosquitoes will bite me."

Hearing this, the person walking in front paused for a moment, then started walking again.

Wan Chuncao caught up, and as they passed a long corridor, she saw the blooming flowers again under the corridor.

As the sky darkened, the flowers gradually became gray.

It looks very much like the gray text on the postcard.

That yellowed, faded postcard with a few words written in very small font on the edge.

Mu Yu, I miss you.
