As soon as I got off the car, a group of reporters came up to me, turning on their flash lights and taking pictures non-stop.

"Excuse me, Mr. Gu, are you and Mrs. Gu coming here with full confidence in this project?"

Before Gu Peisi could speak, another reporter asked a very sharp question.

"I saw Mr. Gu and a lady on the news, they were very intimate. That lady was not Mrs. Gu. What do you think, Mrs. Gu?"

When asked by reporters how she felt about her husband's mistress, Shen Qingli's face turned pale.

She felt that everyone around her was laughing at her, laughing at her for being so self-indulgent and pretending not to know that her husband clearly didn't love her.

A group of people gathered around her, pressing her for an answer, and she felt like she could hardly breathe.

Gu Peisi's eyes were cold, and his voice was filled with anger. "Which reporter are you from? My wife and I have a good relationship. If you want to talk nonsense, you can try it?"

From the corner of his eye he saw Shen Qingli was getting weak and seemed about to fall, so he wrapped his big hands around her waist tightly and let her lean against his arms.

"If you feel uncomfortable, lean on me." He whispered in her ear with rare tenderness on his face.

The reporter was frightened by his sharp gaze and stepped back repeatedly, not daring to continue asking.

Lin Yuan came over with bodyguards and separated the reporters.

Gu Peisi pulled Shen Qingli aside and asked softly, "Are you okay? Lili."

Shen Qingli took a breath and felt better. When she heard him calling her Lili, she was a little dazed.

Gu Peisi seldom called her so intimately, usually he called her Mrs. Gu or Shen Qingli.

She thought that he pretended quite well in front of others.

She shook her head and said slowly: "I'm fine, let's go in."

The banquet is about to begin, and it can't be delayed because of her.

After entering the banquet hall, everyone looked over with scrutiny and inquiry.

Gu Peisi held Shen Qingli's hand, gently put his arm around her waist, and walked slowly forward under the gaze of everyone.

The two were so close that Shen Qingli could even smell the woody scent on him.

Today, Shen Qingli was wearing a black strapless long dress, with her long hair tied up high, revealing her white forehead. She walked over with elegant steps and a calm expression.

"This is Mrs. Gu. She is bright and beautiful, like a celebrity. No wonder Mr. Gu is reluctant to bring her out."

"If I were Mr. Gu, I wouldn't be willing to bring her out. Once she comes out, she will definitely be the most beautiful among all the girls," someone said flatteringly.

"It's just that she's pretty. As a rich wife, it's useless to just be pretty. You have to have ability."

Some people also dislike Shen Qingli. Why can she catch Mr. Gu's eye?

Shen Qingli heard what everyone was saying, but she didn't even look away and let others discuss her.

"Mrs. Gu, you don't have to take these words to heart." The man whispered in her ear.

Shen Qingli snorted coldly: "These words can't hurt me. What's more, it's more tragic to have no one discuss it than to be discussed by others."

Gu Peisi couldn't help but squeeze her hand, "It seems that Mrs. Gu's heart is getting stronger and stronger."

Shen Qingli did not comment on this statement.

The only one who can hurt her is you, Gu Peisi.

And you are the one who hurt me the most.

If my heart isn't stronger, how can I hold on?

The two of them walked hand in hand in front of Jiang Hao.

"Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Hao saw them like this and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that there was still hope for them.

"Boss Gu, let me introduce some people to you."

Shen Qingli knew that Jiang Hao was going to introduce some connections to Gu Peisi.

She said considerately, "Honey, I'll go sit over there and eat something, you go and do your work."

The word "husband" made Gu Peisi pause.

He hadn't heard her shout like that for a long time. She had said it countless times in his ear, but he never took it seriously.

Before he could react, Shen Qingli disappeared in a flash.

He had no choice but to follow Jiang Hao and meet him.

Shen Qingli took some pastries, chose a corner and sat down.

In order to look better in her dress, she hadn't eaten much, and now she was hungry.

Suddenly, a familiar male voice interrupted her actions.

"Sister-in-law, it seems that you have thought it through. Even if my brother has a lover, you still can't bear to leave him." Gu Ci sat down regardless of Shen Qingli's obstruction.

Shen Qingli stopped what she was doing and glared at him fiercely, "It's none of your business what happens between us as husband and wife."

Gu Ci suddenly turned his head and looked directly at her: "Really? I remember someone crying so sadly once."

"Or do you like being Mrs. Gu?"

Whether it was the women around him or Gu Peisi's stepmother, they were all a group of vain women.

He thought she was different, but now it seems that she is just so-so.

Shen Qingli didn't care and said coldly: "So what? Is there anything wrong with liking to be Mrs. Gu?"

“Being Mrs. Gu means you have endless mansions to live in and endless money to spend. Don’t think you can teach me a lesson just because you look so high and mighty.”

"Without Gu's, you are nothing."

"You..." Gu Ci's face turned pale with anger.

Speaking of the Gu family, if Gu Peisi wasn't Mr. Gu's favorite grandson, would he have a part in all this?

When Gu Peisi was mentioned, a hint of viciousness flashed in Gu Ci's eyes.

It was obvious that he was no worse than Gu Peisi, and even the woman in front of him thought that Gu Peisi was better than him.

Just as the two were arguing, Jiang Yi appeared.

He looked at Gu Ci with caution, as if he regarded him as a lecher.

"Teacher Shen, who is this person?"

Although he was young, he could tell that this man looked at Teacher Shen in a special way.

"Xiaoyi, you're here." Shen Qingli's mood improved a little when she saw Jiang Yi.

She pulled Jiang Yi over and sat down next to her.

"Sister-in-law, won't you introduce me?"

It turns out that Teacher Shen is this man’s sister-in-law, which means he and the man from last time are brothers.

Shen Qingli smiled and said, "This is my student Jiang Yi, and he is also the son of Jiang Hao, who is hosting this banquet."

Gu Ci raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. No wonder this kid was so arrogant.

It turned out to be someone from the Jiang family.

"Xiao Yi, this is... um, my husband's younger brother, Gu Ci."

There is nothing wrong with introducing it this way.

The two men, one big and one small, looked at each other with hostility and disliked each other.

Sandwiched between the two ancestors, Shen Qingli felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

She suddenly felt that one million was not enough, so she had to add another million.

In the hospital, Bai Chuwei was a little bored. She turned on the TV, and the scene on TV made her jealous.

The business channel was playing on TV, and a reporter asked Gu Peisi how his relationship with Mrs. Gu was going.

Gu Peisi looked at Shen Qingli affectionately. He said that they had a good relationship and threatened the reporter that if he said anything wrong, he would receive a letter from Gu's lawyer.

When Shen Qingli appeared weak, he still tried his best to protect her, acting like a doting wife.

Seeing this, Bai Chuwei grasped the bed sheet tightly with both hands, not even noticing that her nails had turned white.

Brother Si, you are mine, and I won’t allow you to have Shen Qingli in your eyes.
