I thought you were dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Wanshu smiled apologetically, “I went to recuperate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could you not call me while recuperating? Did you know I was really worried about you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a bit, she added, “My brother was worried about you too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Wanshu’s face changed, a hint of panic flashing by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao was suspicious, this reaction hinted at something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Pei Meirui, who is this woman’s brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bold guess suddenly formed in her mind; wasn’t Zhong Wanshu dating a man back then? They were on the brink of marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later, due to Lu Changcheng’s schemes, they had no fate together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s still unknown who that man was, or if they still had a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the chance should be slim; it’s been twenty-five years, and that man is probably married with children by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Wanshu seemed reluctant to continue the topic, absent-mindedly saying, “Have you been well these years?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“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.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qiurong’s expression changed, unable to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she saw Pei Meirui show up, she knew it wasn’t good and wanted to slip away quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t expect to be noticed anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Meirui was unlike Zhong Wanshu, who knew propriety; this woman was sharp-tongued and domineering, speaking utterly without restraint, much like a shrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upper-class people feared her, afraid of clashing with her and causing an embarrassing scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she had good luck, her fiery temper got her married to the Vice President.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could understand it: the Vice President is wise, gentle, and powerful, yet why such a peculiar taste for Pei Meirui, a shrew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps the Vice President wanted to imitate Socrates and marry a shrew to cultivate his mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Meirui had another trait: she was fiercely protective, extremely protective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially protecting Zhong Wanshu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that it’s because Zhong Wanshu almost became her sister-in-law back in the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t expect to be noticed anyway, Xu Qiurong was in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only awkwardly smile, “Mrs. Zhou, long time no see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“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.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone exchanged bewildered glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on, wasn’t it said that Lu Changcheng married Xu Qiurong after divorcing Zhong Wanshu? How did she become a mistress?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think there’s more to this story, both women being pregnant at such coincidental times.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“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…”\u003C\u002Fp>",657,"2026-06-06T16:22:19.333Z",1,"novelbin.me","a0a82118811ec45195c6b2c35688431a91b28d1b31128e53c98879c44554e6f6","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1202","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1200",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
