Chapter 1201: Chapter 1201: Exposing the Mistress, Face-Slapping 5
Pei Meirui was her former best friend.
After she divorced Lu Changcheng and moved to the countryside to recuperate, except for Pei Meirui, no one visited her.
Detached from the world for so many years, she had forgotten her other friends; only Pei Meirui, this dear friend, was always on her mind.
When old friends meet, both were very emotional.
Pei Meirui was so excited that her eyes welled up with tears, holding Zhong Wanshu’s hand with a slight tremble, "Where have you been all these years? I thought you were dead."
Zhong Wanshu smiled apologetically, "I went to recuperate."
"Could you not call me while recuperating? Did you know I was really worried about you?"
After thinking for a bit, she added, "My brother was worried about you too."
Zhong Wanshu’s face changed, a hint of panic flashing by.
Xia Weibao was suspicious, this reaction hinted at something.
She looked at Pei Meirui, who is this woman’s brother?
A bold guess suddenly formed in her mind; wasn’t Zhong Wanshu dating a man back then? They were on the brink of marriage.
But later, due to Lu Changcheng’s schemes, they had no fate together.
It’s still unknown who that man was, or if they still had a chance.
But the chance should be slim; it’s been twenty-five years, and that man is probably married with children by now.
Zhong Wanshu seemed reluctant to continue the topic, absent-mindedly saying, "Have you been well these years?"
"I’m fine, and you?" Pei Meirui looked Zhong Wanshu over, "My god, Wanshu, you look so beautiful now, and your figure is well-maintained, much more beautiful than that mistress."
As Pei Meirui was speaking, she caught sight of Xu Qiurong’s fleeing figure, and immediately raised her voice, "Xu, the mistress, you still have the face to show up here!"
Xu Qiurong’s expression changed, unable to leave.
As soon as she saw Pei Meirui show up, she knew it wasn’t good and wanted to slip away quickly.
She didn’t expect to be noticed anyway.
Pei Meirui was unlike Zhong Wanshu, who knew propriety; this woman was sharp-tongued and domineering, speaking utterly without restraint, much like a shrew.
The upper-class people feared her, afraid of clashing with her and causing an embarrassing scene.
Yet she had good luck, her fiery temper got her married to the Vice President.
No one could understand it: the Vice President is wise, gentle, and powerful, yet why such a peculiar taste for Pei Meirui, a shrew!
Or perhaps the Vice President wanted to imitate Socrates and marry a shrew to cultivate his mind?
Nevertheless, whatever the reason, Pei Meirui indeed married well, and the Vice President indeed shields her everywhere, so her character not only didn’t mellow but became even more domineering.
Pei Meirui had another trait: she was fiercely protective, extremely protective.
Especially protecting Zhong Wanshu.
It is said that it’s because Zhong Wanshu almost became her sister-in-law back in the day.
So the moment Xu Qiurong saw Pei Meirui appear, she was scared; when this woman goes crazy, she disregards the occasion and can definitely make a big scene!
She didn’t expect to be noticed anyway, Xu Qiurong was in despair.
She could only awkwardly smile, "Mrs. Zhou, long time no see."
"Pah!" Pei Meirui made no effort to hide her disgust for Xu Qiurong, "Mistress, you have the face to show up in such a place? How thick-skinned are you."
Mistress?
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
"What’s going on, wasn’t it said that Lu Changcheng married Xu Qiurong after divorcing Zhong Wanshu? How did she become a mistress?"
"I think there’s more to this story, both women being pregnant at such coincidental times."
"Yeah, if Lu Changcheng really loved Zhong Wanshu that much, how could he marry right after the divorce, and have someone pregnant within a month? High society matters, there’s always a lot behind the scenes..."
