Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 126 - Maid Outfit
Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Maid Outfit
“This isn’t good, is it?” Zhou Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
She wasn’t the type of person who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
Qiu Yurou smiled and said, “Good or not, you won’t know until you try. What if he agrees?”
Zhou Yuan then chuckled, “Then I’ll give it a try.”
She was only humoring Qiu Yurou; she would never actually send such a photo to threaten Gu Cheng.
Seeing this, Su Meixi couldn’t help but smile to herself.
...
If Zhou Yuan really became the elder sister-in-law, then Qiu Yurou would surely favor the elder daughter-in-law and continue to make life difficult for her, the younger daughter-in-law.
People really do have their own fates.
But she couldn’t possibly be jealous of Zhou Yuan, a wealthy young lady without schemes and full of kindness—who wouldn’t like her?
…
At noon, Su Meixi received a message from Bi Yuanhang: “Xiao Xi, Happy New Year, I’m back in Feng City.”
Since Bi Yuanhang had fallen for Weina, Su Meixi had come to regard him as an elder brother and a friend. Receiving his message, she was naturally pleased and immediately made a voice call to him.
“Senior brother, you’re back. Is Weina with you? Did she come back with you?”
Bi Yuanhang paused for a moment before responding, “No.”
“Is she unwilling to come back with you, or is she coming back after some days?”
Bi Yuanhang said, “She said she hasn’t figured things out yet and asked me to return first. If she makes up her mind, she might come back.”
“How long will that take?”
Bi Yuanhang gave a bitter smile, “She said half a year. If I don’t have a new girlfriend by then, she might come to find me; if not, she told me to look for a new girlfriend.”
“Then give her some time. I think she will come to find you. After all, you are a great person, and besides, her former husband has been gone for a long time; she needs someone by her side.”
“That’s the only option,” Bi Yuanhang said.
…
On the second and third days of the lunar new year, because Zhou Yuan was at home, Qiu Yurou did not make life difficult for Su Meixi to avoid scaring Zhou Yuan away.
Moreover, Zhou Yuan seemed very righteous. If she saw Su Meixi being bullied, she would definitely step in to stop it.
But Qiu Yurou had called Su Meixi back intending to make her back off, so when Qiu Yurou went to visit relatives, she didn’t bring Su Meixi along, leaving her at home to accompany Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan somewhat sensed something and asked, “Sister Su, does your aunt not like you very much?”
Su Meixi smiled, “I’m not soft currency; not everyone has to like me.”
“But Gu Wei likes you, and that’s quite rare, unlike me. My aunt liking me is useless. Gu Cheng has to like me for it to count.”
“Sister Su, if I could be your sister-in-law, I would definitely protect you; don’t worry.”
Su Meixi smiled, “I can protect myself, too. Just take care of yourself.”
Her tolerance was because Qiu Yurou hadn’t crossed her bottom line yet. If she did, Su Meixi would fight back.
Who’s afraid of whom?
Early on the fourth day of the new year, the housemaids and chefs had all returned, and the Gu Family’s villa estate finally buzzed with a bit more life.
Qiu Yurou then announced, “Tomorrow is the fifth day of the new year, and we’ll have a New Year’s party at home.”

Qiu Wenyin was very excited, “Great, I love going to parties.”
Zhou Yuan also excitedly said, “I’m familiar with this; I came with my dad last year. I accidentally let Brother Cheng’s Er Ha escape, hahaha.”
Qiu Yurou remembered, “So it was you.”
“It was me, it was me. That was when I fell for Brother Cheng.”
Qiu Yurou smiled, “At that time, I only knew some reckless girl had unleashed Er Ha, and it ran all over the place, startling all the guests. I didn’t expect it was you. Speaking of which, that’s also fate.”
Qiu Wenyin had not come last year and kept asking about the situation then.
Then, the two of them excitedly chatted about the incidents of that time, talking animatedly.
Su Meixi was left out on the side.
She smiled to herself: See, if you like someone, whatever they do or say is right. If you don’t like someone, whatever they do or say is wrong.
After the three finished chatting, Qiu Yurou suddenly turned to Su Meixi.
“Ah Xi, you also need to come out and help greet the guests at tomorrow’s party.”
Su Meixi was startled.
Greet the guests, in what capacity?
If it was as the Gu Family’s daughter-in-law, that would mean Qiu Yurou acknowledged her.
But Qiu Yurou didn’t make it clear.
Only Zhou Yuan was happy for Su Meixi, “Sister Su, then you must dress up beautifully tomorrow.”
Before Su Meixi could reply, Qiu Yurou said, “Her clothes will be sent to her room by Mdm. Zhang tomorrow morning.”
Su Meixi nodded.
Yet, she still felt there was more to it.
…
Indeed, the next day, Mdm. Zhang knocked on Su Meixi’s door early in the morning.
As soon as Su Meixi opened the door, Mdm. Zhang handed her a set of clothes, “Put on this outfit and come help set up the scene.”
Su Meixi looked at the outfit in her hands, a blue and white uniform, identical to the one Mdm. Zhang was wearing.
A maid’s uniform!
So she was to attend as a maid, no wonder!
Qiu Yurou would not let her have it easy.
“The young mistress, the lady said, all of us are working for the Gu Family, and it’s the same at any position. Since you’re new and unaware of the rules, she can’t bring you to meet the guests. It’s also for your own good. You can’t let the guests think that the Gu Family has brought back a clueless young mistress, can you?”
Mdm. Zhang was brainwashing Su Meixi.
Su Meixi smiled, “Mom is right; she is indeed looking out for me. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine in this outfit too.”
She closed the door and took a deep breath.
For Gu Wei, she continued to endure!
…
Downstairs, the setup for the event was already underway, with Su Meixi, dressed in a maid’s outfit and wearing a mask, helping at the scene.
She comforted herself that this was actually good; she really didn’t know how to handle guest reception. If she had to meet the guests, she would feel constrained.
After adjusting her mood, she began to work, and it wasn’t too boring.
Someone taught her what kind of glasses to use for red wine, how clean the glasses should be, and how to cut fruit beautifully and neatly—she was gaining some new knowledge.
Busy at work, Mdm. Zhang came over again.
“Today, in addition to our own Gu Family servants busy at work, we have also hired some temporary workers.”
Su Meixi wondered why Mdm. Zhang was telling her this, and she replied, “Whatever you decide is fine.”
Mdm. Zhang smiled, “Among these temporary workers, it seems there are some people you know.”
“People I know?”
Mdm. Zhang pointed at a few temporary workers who were cleaning the area not far away, “Those over there.”
Su Meixi looked and recognized one of them despite the mask.
It was Fang Xin!
