She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

The note read: "Su Maiqi, this imposter CEO's wife, only has a three-year contract. For details, please contact me at XXXXX."

Shen Qingge frowned, her eyes revealing complex emotions.

She had unfolded and folded the note in her hand several times.

She recalled her dinner with Haize earlier that day. She hadn't interacted with anyone else.

I do remember that when she was fixing her makeup outside the restroom, there was a pretty girl standing very close to her.

She had a gut feeling that the note was put in by that girl.

Shen Qingge remembered the girl; she was tall and beautiful, and was wearing a formal dress, so she must have come to attend a banquet or something.

While in the hotel lobby, she overheard people talking about how the celebrity Liu Jinghua was hosting a banquet for guests today, supposedly for his engagement.

She guessed that the girl might also be in the entertainment industry.

I couldn't help but think a lot. Could this girl, who hates Su Maiqi so much and even knows about the contractual marriage, be Gu Tingyu's ex-girlfriend?

My aunt had said before that Su Maiqi was most likely just a formality.

In their circle of wealthy second-generation individuals, "contractual marriages" are nothing new.

If the other party can say it with such certainty, it's most likely true.

Shen Qingge's feelings were incredibly complicated. Her first reaction was a bit of happiness; Su Maiqi was indeed just a contractual partner, not some kind of love at first sight.

She even felt that she had hope again.

But for such a beautiful girl to send a message, she must know about her story with Gu Tingyu.

This is probably yet another new rival in love.

Reason told her to let it go and not care. Gu Tingyu had nothing to do with her, and Su Maiqi had nothing to do with her either.

That child actor has nothing to do with her.

Be a good young mistress of the Hai family. Your future life will be good.

But the little flame of curiosity in my heart was burning, making me feel restless and anxious.

She tried her best to control herself and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, I felt much more clear-headed.

The first time was unlucky; they bought Su Maiqi's design draft. As a result, Shen's most promising single item at the time had to be discontinued, resulting in a significant loss.

The second MISS Y plagiarism incident was a trap she set for Su Maiqi, but in the end, she ended up in a very embarrassing situation.

The older brother blamed himself for damaging the reputation of Shen's Jewelry, which angered even his father, who had always doted on him.

If she hadn't grabbed onto Haize as a lifeline in time, her life would probably be even more difficult now.

It wasn't that they hadn't considered other methods before. But Su Maiqi always managed to escape by luck, and it was always Su Maiqi who ended up getting hurt.

The more he thought about it, the more he hated it, wishing he could immediately have the chance to tear the other person apart and defeat him in one fell swoop.

But my clear-headed self knew that I shouldn't act rashly at this moment.

If Haize finds out, she'll lose the chance for a marriage alliance, and her father probably won't give her another chance.

After that, she would probably only be a pampered young lady with no worries about food or clothing, but she wouldn't be able to have anything more.

That won't do. She has to win in the end. Su Maiqi now holds a high position in Chenxing and has also gained fame in the jewelry industry.

From a value perspective, Gu Tingyu's abilities probably surpass those of his own.

No, she must get married successfully to gain access to a larger platform before she has a chance in the future.

After thinking it over, she opened the drawer, put the small note in a jewelry box, and tucked it into the corner of the drawer.

I forced myself to go to sleep.

The first thing Su Wanyu did when she got home was to take a shower. She let the warm water dispel the fear in her heart and the cold in her body.

I dried my hair and snuggled into bed, feeling refreshed.

She felt like she had finally come back to life.

I picked up my phone and looked at it again and again, but there were no new messages.

Su Wanyu gradually became anxious. She wanted to sleep but couldn't.

She kept reassuring herself that no woman would be indifferent to a rival's weaknesses, especially when she considered herself far superior to her rival.

Even if Shen Qingge has a good backup plan now.

But whenever she experiences a moment of psychological imbalance, that becomes her opportunity.

No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning.

Unbeknownst to her, while she was thinking about Shen Qingge, someone else was also thinking about her.

After leaving the banquet, Liu Jinghua immediately informed Su Maiqi of his intention to blacklist Su Wanyu in the entertainment industry.

She even asked Su Maiqi, "Does Su Wanyu have any grudge against you or Chen Xing? Her actions seem to be aimed at Chen Xing."

She herself said it was because Chenxing's trending topic stole the spotlight from our new movie that she acted impulsively. But I think things aren't that simple.

"Well, I don't know if Su Wanyu and Chen Xing have any past conflicts. I personally don't know her. I'll report this to the company."

Su Maiqi recalled that she had previously suspected that Su Wanyu was targeting Chenxing, and had even asked Gu Tingyu about it.

Gu Tingyu said that Su Wanyu and Chen Xing did not have any direct conflict, but he seemed to have something to say but hesitated.

That was the only vague answer I could give Liu Jinghua.

Liu Jinghua, however, said, "I don't plan to pursue legal action against her for leaking the information. I don't want people to think that Meiqian and I were forced to announce our relationship."

"Let her suffer a bit at work, and then we won't have to deal with her again."

"Okay, Teacher Liu, I understand. I personally think there's no need for Chenxing to pursue this now, since she indirectly helped us with publicity. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to snatch a living advertisement like Teacher Liu."

I'll report this to the company first. No matter how it's handled, we will protect Sister Meiqian for Teacher Liu. You can rest assured about that.

This little girl is quite clever; she understands things very quickly.

Liu Jinghua said goodbye with a sense of relief, her voice light and cheerful.

He's so happy right now. They've officially announced their relationship and are getting married to Meiqian soon. They can be together openly and honestly now.

It feels so good to walk in the sunshine.

After hanging up the phone, Su Maiqi went to knock on the door of Gu Tingyu's study.

He expressed his doubts again: "Liu Jinghua confirmed that Su Wanyu was the one who leaked the secret, and the information was seen on Liu Jinghua's assistant's phone."

Liu Jinghua also said that Su Wanyu was targeting Chenxing. Had Chenxing had any prior dealings with Su Wanyu?

Gu Tingyu didn't hesitate this time: "Chen Xing and Su Wanyu have never met. However, Su Wanyu is the person I was supposed to go on a blind date with the day we met."

Su Maiqi was stunned for a moment.

I could understand every word, but it was as if I didn't understand what Gu Tingyu meant; I couldn't process it.

"You mean, you're saying that if you hadn't mistaken someone else for someone else on a blind date, she would be the one you'd marry? I'm her substitute?"

"Yes, but it's not exactly a stand-in. It's just that when I met you, I felt you were quite suitable for this contract."

Su Maiqi felt like her brain had suddenly exploded.
