Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Filled with Colorful Thoughts

When Wang Mei spoke, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, reminiscent of lilies in a secluded valley, evoking a sense of delicate pity.

Gu Fuqiao thought it was a pity that Wang Mei hadn’t ventured into the entertainment circle. But since Wang Mei was keen on it, it would be a shame not to tease her a little!

Gu Fuqiao chuckled lightly, "Wang Mei, girl, relax. I was just speaking offhandedly. You aren’t the kind of person with hidden motives, why are you so nervous?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mei quickly nodded and ran her hand through the hair on her forehead, saying, "Right, but sister-in-law, you have a way of speaking that’s a bit scary. You just startled me."

Scared the white lotus flower? Gu Fuqiao couldn’t believe it.

Wang Mei initially intended to intimidate Gu Fuqiao, but when she failed to alarm Gu Fuqiao and was instead flustered herself, she could only say a couple more words before leaving. Once Wang Mei left, Chen Bajin immediately sat in front of Gu Fuqiao and said, "Why do I feel like Wang Mei is targeting you?"

"Don’t you think she seems pitiful?" Gu Fuqiao raised an eyebrow. Among the people she knew, only Su Jili could instantly see through Wang Mei’s hypocrisy.

Chen Bajin was puzzled for a moment and replied directly to Gu Fuqiao, "Pitiful? So many people like her. Isn’t that great? What’s pitiful? Plus, every word she says sounds like she’s caring for you. When you listen closely, it’s unsettling."

Unlike Su Jili, who could discern good from evil at first glance, Chen Bajin plainly expressed her thoughts about Wang Mei.

In fact, Chen Bajin was right. All white lotus flowers are like this. It’s like those little flowers in Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas; clearly, everyone sympathizes with her and likes her, yet she insists on wearing a mournful face daily, speaking of righteousness and morality — initially appealing, but increasingly nauseating as you see more!

"Quite unnoticed." Gu Fuqiao raised her chin and spoke to Chen Bajin.

Chen Bajin was perplexed, "What is it?"

Gu Fuqiao chuckled softly and said, "Your observation skills are excellent! If you keep at it, writing articles and getting published won’t be a problem!"

"Really?" Chen Bajin was half skeptical.

Gu Fuqiao nodded affirmatively, "Absolutely!"

Hearing this, Chen Bajin was naturally delighted. She happily retrieved a stack of manuscripts from behind her and handed them to Gu Fuqiao, saying, "These are my manuscripts that were rejected before. After listening to you, I revised them seriously, but I still feel something’s amiss."

Gu Fuqiao took the manuscripts and glanced over them. The content wasn’t much, mostly modern poetry. She read them carefully and found Chen Bajin’s writing quite good, but the poems overly focused on emotions about scenery, lacking personal reflections.

In this era of modern poetry, the poet’s sentiments are especially important.

After discussing her impressions with Chen Bajin, Gu Fuqiao suddenly recalled the book she saw in the bookstore that day. She borrowed it because it contained many intriguing things she’d been interested in — little stories from different historical backgrounds and countries.

Although the compiled stories were somewhat unconventional, Gu Fuqiao found them quite fun, and as she shared with Chen Bajin, Chen Bajin grew intrigued too.

After finishing matters regarding the manuscripts, Gu Fuqiao remembered Wang Mei’s situation and asked, "By the way, how’s that person in the hospital doing last time?"

Being a standard gossip enthusiast, Chen Bajin naturally had the latest information. She said, "That person, I’ve heard he’s likely to be executed. For bringing such terrifying stuff here and even getting it into the workplace, severe punishment is inevitable."

"Wasn’t there gossip that he had relatives in the city? How are his relatives doing?" Now, Gu Fuqiao began to feel the situation was quite puzzling.

Wang Mei, to absolve herself, must have pinned the blame on Wang Chuan. Though it’s unclear what happened to Wang Chuan, according to what the relatives say... the claim that Wang Chuan’s kin is the mastermind suggests Wang Chuan isn’t innocent, and if Wang Mei still visits the hospital amidst such rumors and is seen with Ouyang Xuan... it indicates Wang Mei has secrets, something must have happened.

"I’ve heard his relatives were also arrested, though specific details are unclear. And that person, I heard, always liked Wang Mei. Who would have thought he’d adopt such improper means." Chen Bajin’s news was rather fragmented. Hearing her words, though Gu Fuqiao couldn’t get the full picture, she could infer a bit.

She nodded, suddenly having a dreadful speculation.

If Wang Mei can easily blame Wang Chuan and Wang Chuan’s uncle, and Wang Chuan’s uncle, who can still smuggle in this era, got caught, coupled with the circulating rumors... then it’s likely he indeed had something with Wang Mei, leading to his confession.

Could it be a passionate affair?

Thinking of Wang Mei’s white lotus demeanor, Gu Fuqiao shivered down her spine, sinful white lotus! Indeed, pure and delicate girls are endearing.

Seeing Gu Fuqiao tremble, Chen Bajin couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you shivering in the midst of summer, are you sick?"

Gu Fuqiao shook her head. She and Chen Bajin agreed to go to the bookstore together another day. Once Chen Bajin left, Gu Fuqiao returned to her room, carefully analyzing everything.

If Wang Chuan’s uncle indeed still liked Wang Mei, and considering Wang Mei’s past maneuvers to seduce Wang Chuan, even letting Wang Chuan touch her, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to sacrifice something.

Wang Mei, oh Wang Mei, since you’ve repeatedly sought trouble, don’t blame me!

Thinking of this, Gu Fuqiao chuckled triumphantly, just as Yan Zhen Guo walked in from outside, "In good spirits?"

"Not bad!" Gu Fuqiao proudly raised her head. Seeing Yan Zhen Guo, she suddenly recalled Wang Mei’s situation; maybe Yan Zhen Guo knows something.

She didn’t need secretive information; she just needed to subtly probe!

"Boss, would you like some water?" Gu Fuqiao, unusually courteous, handed a cup of cold water to Yan Zhen Guo.

Though Yan Zhen Guo thought Gu Fuqiao was very ingratiating, he maintained his composure and drank the water she handed him. After finishing, he looked at Gu Fuqiao’s expectant face and said, "There’s no need to mention that matter; before you get published, stick to the original plan."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fuqiao almost choked on her saliva.

What is Yan Zhen Guo’s brain made of, constantly thinking of things with a touch of color!
