Chapter 1517 This Person Sure Has a Thick Skin

No one knew why, but Gui Xiaofeng’s husband somehow just felt that as long as the Nan Family was willing to help, everything could be smoothed over.

The problem was, the Nan Family had never concerned themselves with mundane affairs.

So, after learning that the Eldest Miss Nan was engaged to the Eldest Son of Gu Family, Gu Dongxing, and thinking of his wife’s relationship with Mrs. Gu, Yang Meiyin, then finding out that the Gu Family was hosting today and the Eldest Lady Nan would be visiting, he sent his wife Gui Xiaofeng out to make a move.

They simply never expected that the Yang Meiyin they were pinning their hopes on had already divorced Gu Ming and left the Gu Family, causing Gui Xiaofeng to fail right out of the gate.

However, after Gui Xiaofeng heard that Gu Ming had remarried Hai Xue, although she was shaken inside, she still wanted to brazenly force a connection and try to use her to meet Lady Nan.

She hadn’t expected that Hai Xue had suddenly become so clear‑eyed, as if she knew everything now. She’d also become harder to deal with; no matter what Gui Xiaofeng said, she just wouldn’t let her in.

But no matter what, Gui Xiaofeng had to see the Eldest Lady Nan, so she could only humble herself like this and beg for Hai Xue’s forgiveness.

Mengyu, who had been watching events unfold, saw that Hai Xue was having trouble holding Gui Xiaofeng back, so she said a word to Gu Dongxing and walked out.

"Auntie, where did this shrew come from, yelling and screaming at someone else’s dinner party like this? So rude!"

Seeing Gui Xiaofeng, who always put on the airs of a noble lady in public, being called a shrew by her future daughter-in-law, Hai Xue almost burst out laughing.

Hai Xue held back her laughter and said, "Her? She doesn’t know Yang Meiyin has already divorced your Uncle Gu. She’s here to pay New Year’s respects to Yang Meiyin. I kindly told her to leave, but she just refuses to go."

"Oh? And you know her?" Mengyu asked deliberately.

"I do. Actually, she’s the female soldier who enlisted with me back then, almost got discharged, and later stayed in the army only because she took my spot."

Hearing Hai Xue say this, Gui Xiaofeng felt as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over her in the dead of winter: She even knows about that? No wonder, no wonder!

Mengyu put on a suddenly-enlightened expression: "Ah, I get it. She’s that toxic bestie Gui Xiaofeng who, in order to stay in the army, helped that Third, Yang Meiyin, climb up, then took your golden lock to report you for concealing overseas connections, which got you forced into discharge, and then secretly collected your discharge papers and ran around everywhere proclaiming you were expelled, trying to ruin your reputation in the village and keep you trapped in the mud forever?"

Toxic bestie!

Hearing Mengyu sum up Gui Xiaofeng’s crimes in just a few sentences, Hai Xue felt extremely satisfied and nodded. "That’s right, it’s her—Gui Xiaofeng, that toxic bestie I recognized when I was blind!"

The moment Mengyu came out, Gui Xiaofeng’s attention shifted to her.

She’d never seen a girl this breathtakingly beautiful before. This must be Gu Ming’s future daughter-in-law, the Eldest Lady of the Nan Family, Nan Mengyu.

Hearing how Mengyu had defined her, Gui Xiaofeng hated her so much she wanted to scratch up her face. But she forced a perfectly measured smile onto her own face and even extended her hand toward Mengyu:

"You must be Xiao Xue’s future daughter-in-law, Nan Mengyu? You really know how to joke. I’m your future mother-in-law’s good friend, Gui Xiaofeng. Everything you just mentioned wasn’t done by me—that’s all just your mother-in-law misunderstanding me."

This woman truly had skin thick enough. After being defined like that by her, she could still stand here without blushing or her heart racing—neither slinking away in shame nor rushing to defend herself. Instead, she simply brushed off Mengyu’s words as a joke.
