Upon hearing Gu Zhihuan’s words, before Guan Meiyi could speak, Zhao Huimin said in anger, “Gu Zhihuan, what do you mean? Who is lowly?!”
Gu Zhihuan pretended to be surprised and pursed her lips. “Well, mom, I was just saying. Don’t think too much about it.”
Zhao Huimin’s face darkened. It was obvious what Gu Zhihuan had implied.
Gu Zhiming said in all seriousness, “Indeed, our Gu family is a wealthy and prestigious. Not every woman can marry into our family. Take our big sister-in-law as an example. She’s the daughter and heiress of the Fang family. Our former big sister-in-law came from a scholarly family. Her parents are both professors.”
Fang Hua’s expression immediately changed when he heard Gu Zhiming mention Gu Zhilin’s ex-wife.
Gu Zhilin’s expression was also not good. “If you don’t know what to speak, then shut up. Why did you have to mention her?!”
Gu Zhiming realized that he had misspoken. He looked at Fang Hua and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, big sister-in-law.”
Seeing that the situation had become chaotic again, old Mr. Gu said, “Alright, all of you shut up!” He paused and looked at Guan Meiyi. “I’ll say it again. I won’t make you divorce Zhiqian right after you you got married. It’s not good for the Gu family’s reputation if this gets out.”
Guan Meiyi raised her eyebrows. So old Mr. Gu didn’t force her to divorce Gu Zhiqian because he wanted to maintain the family reputation?
The old man continued, “However, now that you’ve become a granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family, you have to act like one. You’re from the Guan family. Although the Guan family isn’t what it used to be, your family ground is not too bad.” After all, Guan Meiyi’s mother came from the Ling family which were in-laws of the Ruan family. “It’s just that your job isn’t very good. Our Gu family is a traditional family. We don’t want our women to engage in a dishonorable career.”
“Dishonorable career?” Guan Meiyi was a little angry. She was an actress working in a good company. When did acting become a dishonorable career?
“What else can it be?” Gu Zhihuan looked at Guan Meiyi with a sarcastic look. “You actors have to engage in all kinds of scenes, such as bed scenes, kissing scenes, and revealing scenes. You’re a member of the Gu family now, after all. Do you want people to see you hugging and kissing other men on the screen? How embarrassing is that?”
Fang Hua sneered and continued to mock her, “Even worse, you might take on another p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e role. That would be really embarrassing.”
Guan Meiyi had regained public recognition for her acting skills with the prostitution role. But ow Fang Hua used it to mock her.
“Oh, big sister-in-law, now that you mentioned it, I remember that she once played the role of p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e. What a joke. Our Gu family’s granddaughter-in-law actually was once a p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e. It’s so embarrassing.” Gu Zhihuan and Fang Hua worked together to humiliate Guan Meiyi.
“Please watch your words. I did act as a p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e, but I was never a p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e. Now you’re slandering me!” Guan Meiyi’s face turned cold.
Gu Zhihuan shrugged nonchalantly. “What’s the difference?”
Senior Mr. Gu did not know much about films and television shows, so when he heard that Guan Meiyi had once played a p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e role, he immediately became displeased.
Suddenly, there was a sound from the entrance of the living room. A guard stumbled in and fell to the ground. Immediately after, a cold-faced Gu Zhiqian walked in, his eyes shooting arrows at Gu Zhihuan. “First of all, Guan Meiyi is Gu Zhiqian’s wife, not the Gu family’s granddaughter-in-law. Second, I want you to apologize to her right now!”
