Chương 7: Chapter 7 Are You Minding My Business?

The lights in the bar were dim, and the noise of men and women mixed with the music was loud.

Before Gu Nanyan could speak, the girl said again, "Beicheng hasn't come home again tonight, he must be with another woman!"

Zhou Bei, hands in his pockets, said with a faint smile, "Late at night, Xu Mingzhu, are you drowning your sorrows in alcohol?"

"But when you think about it, you really should drown your sorrows. Lu Beicheng's flings have come and gone, and after two years you're still not on the list."

"Zhou Bei you..." Xu Mingzhu immediately flushed with anger, "So what? Do you really think Gu Nanyan is Lu Beicheng's wife, Mrs. Lu?"

"Let her try calling Lu Beicheng 'husband' and see if he responds!"

Originally, it was her Xu Family that had a better relationship with the Lu Family. The elders were even discussing her marriage to Lu Beicheng, but Gu Nanyan beat her to it.

So behind the scenes she'd been beaten by Gu Nanyan countless times, had countless troubles added to her life.

Today, she finally had a chance encounter, how could she let this opportunity slip by.

Zhou Bei: "Whether Beicheng responds when Nanyan calls him, I don't know, but he definitely wouldn't respond if you call."

At this point, Zhou Bei raised his eyebrows, "Xu Mingzhu, if you've lost, just accept it and stop pulling strings behind the scenes."

Xu Mingzhu exploded, "I lost to her? What do you think Gu Nanyan is, if it weren't for Uncle Lu's moment of folly, would Gu Nanyan have had this chance?"

"And can she hold Beicheng down? Does Beicheng treat her as his wife, give her half the respect? They've had the marriage certificate for two years now and the wedding hasn't even taken place. How many women has Beicheng changed in the meantime? Does Gu Nanyan not have a clue?"

"Isn't this Beicheng's protest against their marriage and his disregard for Gu Nanyan? And yet she shamelessly clings on, if I were her, I would've jumped into the river long ago, truly not knowing her place."

Zhou Bei's expression darkened, and Xu Mingzhu continued, "And you Zhou Bei, born without a father and raised without a mother, always so ambivalent, are you a woman or a man? Even you must be clear about it."

Xu Mingzhu's rants originally didn't matter to Gu Nanyan until she insulted Zhou Bei. Without a word, Gu Nanyan picked up a full cup of wine from the table and splashed it in Xu Mingzhu's face, "Xu Mingzhu, have you made enough of a scene?"

If it were Ye Chu quarreling with her, she would still look her in the eye, after all, she managed to stay by Lu Beicheng's side and be his secretary.

But what was Xu Mingzhu? Lu Beicheng had never given her a glance from the beginning to the end; it was all the Xu Family desperately trying to offer her.

She wouldn't take someone on that level seriously.

Drenched with wine, Xu Mingzhu instantly exploded, flinging her purse at Gu Nanyan, "Gu Nanyan, you dared to splash me with wine!"

Soon after, Gu Nanyan and Zhou Bei got into a fight with Xu Mingzhu and her six girlfriends.

Despite being outnumbered, Gu Nanyan and Zhou Bei quickly took down Xu Mingzhu and her group.

Upon leaving the bar, Gu Nanyan took out her phone from her bag and made a call, "Director Liang, this is little Gu from Chaoyang, I have something to report..."

The man Gu Nanyan called was the second in command in J city, and he had a difficult divorce case that Gu Nanyan solved, so he appreciated her wisdom.

Half an hour later, when Gu Nanyan arrived home, the news of Xu Mingzhu being taken away by the police for causing trouble in the bar had already successfully hit all the hot searches.

As the walls fell, people pushed, and a swarm of Xu Mingzhu's former classmates appeared online, all exposing her for bullying them in school and stealing their boyfriends.

Such a woman should have been sent to be educated a long time ago.

Although the Xu Family quickly pulled the hot search down and got Xu Mingzhu out, she didn't escape a stern lecturing.

When trying to push the blame on Gu Nanyan, she was only warned to keep her distance from Gu Nanyan and not meddle with her and Lu Beicheng's affairs.

Originally fuming with anger, the mess with Xu Mingzhu actually helped Gu Nanyan cool off a bit.

As for her friendship with Zhou Bei, that goes back 10 years.

Back then, they had just started junior high.

That incident was shocking and almost destroyed Zhou Bei's life; it was also the reason Zhou Bei became quiet and changed his image.

After a shower, just as Gu Nanyan was preparing to go to bed, the bedroom door suddenly opened.

Looking up, there was Lu Beicheng back again.

Gu Nanyan ignored him as Lu Beicheng entered the room and said, "Gu Nanyan, I think I need to reevaluate you."

He had just stepped out, and she had already stirred up trouble, even his grandfather was calling him to find out what happened.

Gu Nanyan, reclining on the bed: "Don't act like you're doing me a favor, and Beicheng, you need to watch your behavior."

He was very aware of why she and Xu Mingzhu were in conflict.

And as for his own affairs, Gu Nanyan felt that Lu Beicheng hadn't given her enough respect to deal with people; otherwise, Xu Mingzhu wouldn't have been able to point at her nose and curse her tonight either.

So seeing Lu Beicheng made the fire inside her flare up again.

Lu Beicheng took off his suit jacket, hung it on the coat rack, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and with an amused smile said, "Are you trying to control me?"

Seeing Lu Beicheng walking towards her, Gu Nanyan said, "I don't want to see you tonight, get out."

"No more plans for a child?"

"No more."

Lu Beicheng, smiling at the corner of his mouth: "Are you sure you don't want this opportunity?"

Gu Nanyan suddenly felt a blockage in her heart, followed by frustration and sadness.

Which couple lived like this, having to beg humbly for a child, having to rely on the man's mood and face?

Gu Nanyan's gaze gradually grew colder.

Suddenly, she wanted to pick up a little bit of dignity in front of Lu Beicheng.

So she said coldly, "Get lost."

Lu Beicheng half-closed his eyes, now intrigued, and lifting her chin with the belt he had taken off, he said, "Gu Nanyan, where's that spirit you had before?"

Gu Nanyan grabbed Lu Beicheng's belt and flung it at him: "Aren't you annoying?"

Everyone has emotions, and nobody feels like putting on a happy face for him 24/7.

The angrier Gu Nanyan got, the more amused Lu Beicheng became, as he leaned in close and said, "I am rather in the mood today."
