Movies and TV: The heroine of the blind date

Gu Jia didn't think too much and just greeted him out of politeness.

Chapter 177 Wives Group

After finishing Xu Ziyan's school affairs, accompanied by Mrs. Wang, Gu Jia walked into a mansion villa in the style of the Republic of China.

"Mrs. Wang is here. I thought you weren't coming this time."

As soon as she entered the door, Gu Jia felt that the friend Mrs. Wang mentioned was a little different from what she imagined.

"I brought a friend here, Gu Jia..."

Knowing that the self-righteous Mrs. Liu looked down on her, Mrs. Wang did not care at all and chose to ignore it.

"You've been at the bottom of the list in the last few events. Are you embarrassed about losing? Are you calling in reinforcements or looking for someone to take the blame?"

Her husband's family is engaged in traditional industry and has been rich for two or three generations. Although it is now in decline, Mrs. Liu still looks down on nouveau riche like Mrs. Wang, and even the people she brings with her.

"Mrs. Liu, although I am not well educated, I have brought here people with culture. Gu Jia is a top student who graduated from Shanghai International Studies University, which is much better than that fake American university you showed off last time."

You ignored me and thought I was afraid of you. Mrs. Wang is not the kind of person who would not fight back when being beaten.

"you…"

"Alright, alright, sit down. Don't make fun of the new friends. Gu Jia, right? Just find a place and sit anywhere."

Mrs. Li, the resident C position of the wives' group, spoke up, and everyone was very considerate and the situation was somewhat eased.

"You said this stool is only a little bit big, and if you put a bag on the back, won't it be crowded for you to sit like this?"

Gu Jia found a stool and sat down. Then Mrs. Liu started again; she picked on the weak. Just by looking at Gu Jia's clothes, jewelry and bags, she knew that this was someone Mrs. Wang had sent to take the blame. If she didn't target her, who would she target?

“It’s a bit crowded…”

Gu Jia was in a dilemma and had to pretend to be calm and put her purse on the ground. At that moment, she glanced at the bags of other people - Pupi, Pupi, Hermès Himalaya. Well, her Chanel had become the most embarrassing one.

The wives' group's activity today is embroidery, which Gu Jia had learned before, so she lost her initial restraint once she got the hang of it.

"Miss Gu, I haven't asked you yet, what does your husband do?"

This is the reality of a group united by interests; not long after, Mrs. Ma, who considered herself an intellectual after sending her son and daughter to Oxford, asked a question that concerned everyone except Mrs. Wang.

"My husband runs a fireworks company."

"Fireworks? They're for Mrs. Yu's amusement park, right?"

Gu Jia’s answer disappointed everyone. Since it couldn’t bring any benefits to themselves, they might as well just step on it.

"Mrs. Yu, do you have a paradise at home?"

Gu Jia didn't care about others stepping on her because she heard the answer she wanted to hear.

"Um…"

The 18th-tier celebrity nodded pretentiously. She knew that half of the people present looked down on her for finding a husband who was old enough to be a father, but who cared; you all still have to curry favor with me.

There's nothing wrong with such days, except that when I can't sleep at midnight, I'll think of that bastard...

"The fireworks factory run by Gu Jia's husband is the leader in the fireworks industry. Jiamei Fireworks, haven't you heard of it?"

The fireworks company has grown to a scale of over 100 million, which is why Mrs. Wang looks at Gu Jia differently.

"Beautiful fireworks..."

Mrs. Yu, an 18th-tier celebrity, lost her voice.

"Mrs. Yu, do you know?"

"I heard from a friend that it is indeed the leader in the industry."

What an enemy, whatever you think comes true, Mrs. Yu tried her best to cover up.

"Mrs. Yu, can you add me on WeChat?"

All Gu Jia has her eyes on is the skewers orders.

"Okay, I'll scan you..."

In Mrs. Yu's eyes, it was that man, and she began to look forward to the day when she could relive their old dreams.

"To be the industry leader, Miss Gu, your husband's company is worth hundreds of millions, right? Why do you use such a bag? It's too frugal. By the way, may I ask, how old is your husband?"

Mrs. Liu started again. She just couldn't stand others living better than herself.

"My husband is three years older than me and is 08 this year. We met at the Olympics. At that time, he was a fireworks designer and I was a volunteer.

Later, we started the current fireworks company together. After having a child, I became a full-time mother again. Today is my son’s first day in kindergarten, so I am a little relieved. Mrs. Wang brought me out to see the big scene. It’s an honor to meet all of you ladies..."

Gu Jia's self-introduction showed everyone her confidence, which was something most people present did not have; after that, finally no one was aggressive towards her anymore.

"Let's take a picture."

At the end of the event, Mrs. Li suggested that this was her favorite activity.

"OK"

Mrs. Liu felt like a vanguard and quickly agreed.

Gu Jia naturally wouldn’t say anything bad. For the first group photo, she stood in the corner very tactfully.

"Your bag is too casual, go back and ask your husband to buy you a good one."

What is different from the original drama is that after taking the photos, Mrs. Wang gave Gu Jia some advice.

"Okay, that's the plan."

When saying this, Gu Jia remembered the bag that Chen Xu handed to her that day. Although she only glanced at it and then locked it up, she knew that the bag inside was no worse than any one she saw today.

"Miss Gu, are you free later to have a cup of coffee together?"

When the show was over, Mrs. Yu came over and asked Gu Jia.

"I have to pick up my son from school later. Sorry, maybe next time."

After all, it was Mrs. Wang who brought her here. Gu Jia’s EQ was not high enough to do such a thing as leaving her behind to go with Mrs. Yu.

"Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. I also need to pick up my son from school. He is in the middle class in Depu."

"What a coincidence! My son is in the junior class."

After talking about this, the relationship between the two became much closer.

"Gu Jia, I'll leave first."

Although she didn't know why Mrs. Yu took the initiative to find Gu Jia, Mrs. Wang had an advantage, which was that she didn't meddle in other people's business, so she consciously chose to leave.

There was still a long time before the kindergarten was over, so Mrs. Wang left again. Gu Jia and Mrs. Yu found a cafe near their home and drank coffee.

"Are you curious about why I came to you..."

After the two sat down, Mrs. Yu spoke first.

"I'm a little curious..."

The amusement park was worried that there would be no fireworks. Gu Jia was very curious as to why Mrs. Yu was so impatient to find her.

"Your husband's fireworks company is in partnership with someone, right?"

"How do you know, Chen Xu?"

Thinking of what Xu Huanshan had told her about Chen Xu's glorious history, Gu Jia had some guesses.

"Well, I won't hide it from you. Chen Xu and I were together for a while."

Mrs. Yu was very cunning, or rather, she left room for herself. She did not say whether it was before or after the marriage.

"Is that so? Then you are looking for me because of Chen Xu?"

What a scumbag, that's really the case.

"Well, there was a misunderstanding between him and me, and then he blocked me; I've been looking for an opportunity to clear things up."

After all, she is in the entertainment industry. Although she has not made it big, Mrs. Yu is still very capable.

"So that's how it is; but Madam Yu, Chen Xu is a man who plays with people a bit..."

Even if it was for orders, Gu Jia had no interest in being a pimp, especially when the man was Chen Xu, with whom she had had sex.

"Playing with the world? You mean to say he's a scumbag."

"you know?"

"There's nothing I don't know about this. From the moment I met him, I knew what kind of person he was."

Chapter 178 Storm at Sea

The conversation between the two was basically Mrs. Yu talking and Gu Jia listening, and they all talked about the good old days with Chen Xu.

After talking endlessly for more than half an hour, Gu Jia couldn't help it: "Mrs. Yu, I don't know how close you and Chen Xu were in the past, but you are married now, it's not appropriate to talk about this anymore."

"I agreed to a marriage with Lao Yu. He needed a woman to help him take care of his young son and accompany him to some public events.

I needed his money. We didn't really have much affection for each other. He didn't even object to me looking for other men as long as it wasn't a big deal."

Mrs. Yu was determined to go all out and revealed her cards directly.

"Is there such a thing?"

Mrs. Yu’s words directly shattered Gu Jia’s three views.

"What's so surprising about this? In our circle, this kind of thing is just normal. Do you know about Mrs. Wang who brought you here today?"

"Mrs. Wang? What's wrong with her?"

Gu Jia felt that the shock she received today was greater than the one she received when she saw Monet's "Water Lilies" at Mrs. Wang's house that day.

"Do you know why she tries so hard to please her son? Because her husband has a little girl outside and wants to divorce her, so she has no choice but to hold on to her son."

"So that's it."

Gu Jia finally understood where the loneliness that often appeared in Mrs. Wang's eyes came from.

"So, don't be fooled by their politeness in front of others. Maybe their life is not as comfortable as yours."

In order to get Gu Jia to agree to ask Chen Xu out for a meeting, Mrs. Yu lowered herself and praised him.

"Mrs. Yu, you are too kind. How can I compare with them..."

I may be happier than them spiritually, but I am definitely not as well off as them in terms of material conditions. Gu Jia has some self-awareness in this regard.

"Ms. Gu, I'll get straight to the point. Although Lao Yu and I are married by agreement, we are still husband and wife, and I still have some say with him. Please help me get Chen Xu out, and I'll convince Lao Yu to let your company do the fireworks show at the amusement park. How do you do that?"

"With such good conditions, why don't you come and convince Chen Xu?"

"To convince Chen Xu with this condition? Miss Gu, you are so funny. It seems that you don't know him very well."

Mrs. Yu spoke with pursed lips, as if she had heard a joke.

"What's so funny about this?"

In Gu Jia's opinion, Mrs. Yu's smile was a bit strange.

"Chen Xu rarely has time to go to your fireworks company, right?"

"Yeah, what's this?"

"Do you know his family background? He is a financial genius. When I was with him, I saw him playing futures and making 10 billion in one night.

In his eyes, your fireworks company is just a firework company that can be set off whenever he wants. It's strange that he would care about it."

There is only something he needs to ask for, otherwise I would really like to sneer at this 18th-tier celebrity.

So that's how it is. No wonder that bastard doesn't come to the company for ten days or half a month. He is also incredibly generous to his women, buying houses for them as if they were clothes.

The news that Chen Xu bought a house for Lu Bing in Tomson One also reached Gu Jia's ears through Zhong Xiaoqin.

"Chen Xu is not in Shanghai recently. When he comes back, I will help you find out what he has to say."

Although she was envious of the order her wife mentioned, Gu Jia did not dare to make such a decision for Chen Xu.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

What's so good about this bastard? Looking at Mrs. Yu's smiling face as she left, Gu Jia couldn't help but doubt.

She is rich, pretty and in great shape. Thinking of how she felt when she left the hotel room that day, Gu Jia blushed.
