Shen Qingge saw Ye Qingyu and Su Maiqi chatting from afar, and went over to greet them, saying, "Qingyu, you're here. Wenwen is looking for you over there."

While looking at Su Maiqi, she said, "Sister Su, I am Shen Qingge. I grew up with Tingyu. I didn't expect him to get married so suddenly."

He gave Ye Qingyu a wink, and Ye Qingyu left with her wine glass.

Su Maiqi sensed a hostile aura from the newcomer and was pondering how to respond when she saw Xiao Mohan walking over with a glass of red wine.

He was wearing a cotton and linen suit, exuding a somewhat unrestrained and rebellious aura.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you."

Su Maiqi smiled slightly at him, raised her glass and gently touched the glass that Xiao Mohan had extended to her, then took a sip.

Xiao Mohan, as if he had suddenly spotted Shen Qingge, teased, "This is Qingge! Aren't you surprised to see Gu Tingyu getting married? Your girlfriends must be heartbroken. This guy has been acting like he's not interested in women for so many years, we've all started to suspect he likes men."

"I never expected that I would surrender immediately upon meeting my sister-in-law and we would get married in a flash."

"Give your girlfriends some advice: don't put all your eggs in one basket. If you find a good guy, go for it. I'm single too."

Seeing Xiao Mohan's smirking face, Shen Qingge was filled with hatred.

Everyone in the circle knows Shen Qingge's feelings for Gu Tingyu; who is she indirectly criticizing?

But she couldn't lash out: "Okay, Brother Xiao, I'll introduce you to someone later."

He had met Xiao Mohan twice when he ate at the Gu family's house, and knew that he was a good friend of Gu Tingyu.

Later, Xiao Mohan went abroad and didn't come back often. It's said he has a great reputation in the financial industry overseas. Why did he suddenly return to China?

Just then, my phone rang.

Shen Qingge glanced at her phone and said to Su Maiqi and Xiao Mohan, "Brother Xiao, Miss Su, I have something to take care of, please excuse me for a moment."

"Call me sister-in-law, not Miss Su. You've already got the marriage certificate. Aren't you Mrs. Gu?"

Xiao Mohan looked at Su Maiqi questioningly.

Su Maiqi nodded politely, still maintaining her gentle and charming demeanor.

Shen Qingge was in a hurry to leave, so she gave a perfunctory reply: "Okay, sister-in-law."

He then turned and left.

Xiao Mohan looked at Su Maiqi meaningfully and said, "This is a rival in love, you'd better keep an eye on Tingyu. I only recognize you as my sister-in-law."

Judging from the situation just now, Su Maiqi had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

Since Xiao Mohan was one of her own, she didn't put on airs and just smiled.

Just then, Ye Qingyu suddenly walked over with a group of girls, surrounding Su Maiqi: "Your dress is so beautiful, where did you get it custom-made?"

"Mrs. Gu, how did you and Gu Tingyu meet? Did you have a whirlwind marriage?"

"Your hair looks great! Can you recommend your stylist to me?"

Xiao Mohan smiled helplessly and went to the side.

Surrounded by girls, receiving flattery and praise, Su Maiqi felt extremely uncomfortable; she could only take a deep breath, adjust herself, and try to channel Mrs. Gu's personality to deal with this group of wealthy young ladies and wives.

But then she saw Xiao Mohan turn back, his face grim, and hurriedly say, "Mrs. Gu, come with me, Young Master Gu is looking for you."

Su Maiqi followed him subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong. How did they end up in the guest room area?

She began to feel uneasy. Gu Tingyu had brought her to the banquet, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to follow another man to the guest room area, would it?

She wasn't on guard just now because Xiao Mohan had eaten at her house and had been kind to her, which she could sense, so she wasn't wary of him.

Secondly, Xiao Mohan seemed very anxious just now, as if he had something urgent to attend to.

But as soon as she arrived at the guest room area, she felt inexplicably nervous.

Just as she was wondering what to do, a waiter walked towards her, and she heard Xiao Mohan ask him, "Young Master Gu, have you gone back to your room to rest?"

The waiter nodded: "Young Master Gu is in the room."

As Xiao Mohan quickened his pace, he explained to Su Maiqi, "The Emerald Pearl Hotel is owned by the Gu family. Each member of the Gu family has their own private room at the hotel. They can check in anytime. Mr. Gu's room number is 777. 7 is his lucky number."

Su Maiqi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.

The two had just turned the corner when they saw Shen Qingge carrying a tray, knocking on the door of room 777. She looked visibly startled upon seeing them.

She pretended to be calm and said, "I heard that Brother Tingyu drank too much, so I got him some hangover soup and brought it over."

Xiao Mohan said with a mocking expression, "This kind of thing can be handled by simply instructing the waiter. Why bother Miss Shen?"

“Brother Tingyu isn’t an outsider, is he? I’ve followed him around since I was little, and I consider him my own brother. I was quite worried when I heard he had drunk too much, so I came to check on him.”

"Gu Tingyu is married now, aren't you afraid that Mrs. Gu will misunderstand?"

Su Maiqi quickly went over, took the tray, and said, "Thank you, Qingge. Leave it to me; I'll take care of Tingyu."

Shen Qingge was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth, but she couldn't say anything. It was only natural for Su Maiqi to take care of Gu Tingyu.

But how could she let all her carefully laid plans benefit someone else? What was wrong with Ye Qingyu? Wasn't she supposed to hold off Su Maiqi?

Xiao Mohan knocked on the door three times and said, "Tingyu, it's me."

The door opened from the inside, revealing Gu Tingyu wearing a bath towel, his hair still wet.

Su Maiqi went in first with a tray, and Shen Qingge also tried to squeeze in, but Xiao Mohan blocked her way. "Miss Shen, didn't you see that Mr. Xiao hasn't changed his clothes? It's not appropriate for you to go in."

After saying that, he went inside and slammed the door shut.

Shen Qingge was extremely frustrated. That damned Xiao Mohan must be doing this on purpose, he's everywhere.

Gu Tingyu has taken a shower, so the medication has likely already taken effect. If they had come a few minutes later, she would have already been inside the room.

The potency of this drug is too great for most people to withstand, and she deliberately increased the dosage.

As long as he could get into the room, a little teasing would be enough to make Gu Tingyu succumb. Even if someone knocked on the door later, he probably wouldn't care.

But now things are messed up. Su Maiqi is in jail. If they were really just a fake couple, didn't I just make things worse and actually strengthen their relationship?

But the thought that Xiao Mohan had also gone in made her feel a little more at ease. Gu Tingyu was such a proud man; he couldn't very well have sex with a woman in front of others, could he?

They probably wouldn't even be ashamed to admit they've been infected.

She pressed her ear to the doorway, trying to hear what was happening inside, while thinking of a way to quickly call Su Maiqi out.

Even if I can't get what I want today, I absolutely can't let another woman have it.

The door suddenly opened.

Xiao Mohan walked out of the house, and Shen Qingge had no time to hide.

Xiao Mohan said sarcastically, "Miss Shen, why haven't you left yet? Are you eavesdropping? You have this hobby?"

Shen Qingge said awkwardly, "I'm just worried about Brother Tingyu."

"He has a wife who dotes on him. It just so happens that Young Master Gu asked me to ask you something. Let's go."
