Chapter 152: She No Longer Has the Right

What Gu Wenyan wanted, she had already obtained. Now those few brothers all regarded her as the most important sister, although they were still very good to Gu Mianmian.

This kind of goodness, compared to before—no matter what Gu Mianmian did, they indulged her, the unconditional pampering of doting on her—had undergone an earth-shattering change.

But Gu Wenyan did not care.

Now for Gu Wenyan, the most important thing was still how to gain the approval of Bao Sihan's mother.

Gu Wenyan actually did not care what Bao Sihan's mother thought of her, she just... did not want him to be put in a difficult position, nor did she want to hurt him.

Whether Bao Mu liked it or not, today this string of Buddhist beads had to be accepted.

If she continued to refuse, it would not only affect her relationship with her son, but also cause the distinguished and noble figures in Jingcheng to have mixed opinions about her.

Even if it were only a pretense on the surface, Bao Mu had to put on a show.

Besides, she did not know how many people were envying her right now for having such a gift.

That was a string of Huanghuali Buddhist Beads personally consecrated by the eminent monk Daoyuan!

The price was no small sum!

If put up for auction on the market, it would absolutely fetch a sky-high price!

And a terrifyingly unimaginable number at that...

Just by looking at their expressions at this moment, one could judge how much they envied Bao Mu at this time.

This envy would directly manifest itself in the many flattering words they had when facing Bao Mu.

No one disliked hearing such pleasant words. Even Bao Mu had the same thought, so... Bao Mu gradually forgot the unpleasant emotions from today with Gu Wenyan, and immersed herself in the wonderful feeling of being praised by everyone.

Even the mother of the Head of the Bo Family had such vanity at this moment.

Gu Wenyan and Bao Sihan found a moment and secretly slipped away to a nearby place with no one around.

The two gently clinked their champagne glasses. Gu Wenyan curved her lips into a smile: "You actually said those things to your mother in front of so many people... She must be angry."

Bao Sihan reached out and gently touched her face, looking at her tenderly: "I cannot let you be wronged. Although she is my mother and I need to respect her, you are equally important to me."

"Yan Yan, from now on you are also the person I want to spend my life with. I cannot let you be bullied at this time."

Gu Wenyan's heart was filled with surging emotions.

Every time she was certain that Bao Sihan loved her enough, he would use practical actions to prove that his love for her carried a weightier power than she had imagined.

His feelings probably far exceeded her imagination.

Gu Wenyan gently leaned closer to him, rose on her tiptoes next to his ear, and whispered: "Thank you, hubby."

The last two words, mingled with a woman's warm breath, lingered around Bao Sihan's ear and drilled straight into his body, deep into his blood.

Making his scalp tingle.

Bao Sihan's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice instantly turned hoarse: "Say that again?"

"What... I'm not saying it. That's that. If you heard it just now, you heard it. If you didn't... then..."

Bao Sihan did not care whether anyone around was still watching them. His arm wrapped around her slender waist and directly pulled her into his embrace: "Baby, say it again."

"... Mm, hubby."

If they were not still at the banquet, Bao Sihan would definitely immediately pinch Gu Wenyan's chin, press his lips to hers, and kiss her hard!

To let her know... what the consequences would be for teasing him like this!

Lan Tian had at some unknown moment taken the excuse of delivering food to come to Bao Mu's side. m.

She noticed the two people in the corner being all lovey-dovey, and deliberately said in a low voice to Bao Mu: "Madam, look, Gu Wenyan has now completely bewitched the Head of the Family. Sooner or later the Head of the Family will completely become her man... When that time comes, he won't respect you at all, and won't care about you anymore!"

Bao Mu's face darkened: "Enough, don't say these things, I understand."

"Madam, I also feel sorry for you. Today the Head of the Family actually did that in front of so many people. Isn't that deliberately, deliberately making you lose face? It's really too much. If I were you, I would definitely..."

Bao Mu said angrily: "Enough! Didn't I already tell you I know!"

Now was not a good time. As the saying goes, once you accept someone's gift, you're beholden to them. Although this gift was not something Bao Mu had necessarily wanted to take, but since...

She had already accepted it in front of so many people, she could not refuse it again, nor could she immediately make things difficult for Gu Wenyan.

Gu Wenyan... was indeed a clever and sharp girl.

If she had not come to be her daughter-in-law, she might have looked at her more favorably.

But Bao Mu, like most mothers in this world, had the thought that her own son was the most outstanding in the world, and that no woman was worthy of him.

Therefore, Gu Wenyan did not meet her requirements for a daughter-in-law.

Even though Gu Wenyan already had connections with an eminent monk like Daoyuan, she still had not gained her approval.

Once tonight's banquet ended, Gu Wenyan's connections with the eminent monk Daoyuan would soon spread and become known to everyone.

However, Gu Wenyan had already made preparations when she dared to bring out the Huanghuali Buddhist Beads consecrated by the eminent monk Daoyuan as a gift for Bao Mu at today's banquet.

There would be a great deal of discussion to follow.

She had even prepared herself that people would come to her for favors, though there was really no need to worry too much... she could just push all these troubles onto Bao Sihan.

With him around, not just anyone would dare to come directly to her and bother her.

Gu Wenyan had to leave in the end. When she went back, she would go with the Gu Family.

Bao Sihan kissed her forehead: "Be careful on the road. Good night."

"Mm, I'll be going then. Good night!"

Gu Wenyan waved at him, turned around, her steps light.

Gu Yeting stood with his hands in his pockets, his expression cold and stern. Watching them being all lovey-dovey, he felt annoyed.

Gu Wenyan noticed his expression and glanced at him sideways: "What's the matter? Between him and me... has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Of course it has nothing to do with me. What can I do? Anyway, if he dares to bully you, I'll stand up for you!"

Gu Yeting's awkward little tantrum was rather amusing. Gu Wenyan shrugged her shoulders and couldn't be bothered to tease him anymore.

The moment she turned her head, she discovered Gu Mianmian walking beside the eldest brother, her expression pitiful, looking like she had been wronged.

Gu Wenyan's lips curled in disdain. She said nothing and got into the car.

Gu Yeting also took the opportunity to sit down beside her.

Gu Mianmian and Gu Yechen could only take another car.

Gu Wenyan watched them walk off in that direction, narrowed her eyes, and said, "You really aren't planning to spoil your little sister anymore? Have you forgotten what you promised her before?"

"With you acting like this now… aren't you afraid Gu Mianmian will get angry and make trouble for you?"

Gu Yeting's expression remained unchanged: "I've said it before—whatever I should give Gu Mianmian, I will give her. But anything else… she no longer has the right to receive."
