Chapter 156: Who Is the Satisfactory Daughter-in-Law

So dealing with Gu Wenyan must be handled with great caution.

"As for what I'm going to do, you should know perfectly well."

What Bao Mu wanted was for the marriage arrangement between Gu Wenyan and Bao Sihan to be voided; once the two separated, she would no longer be troubled by Gu Wenyan's existence.

"Don't worry, Madam, I know everything!"

Gu Mianmian was thrilled, laughing wildly inside her heart.

After finishing her discussion with Bao Mu, Gu Mianmian quickly and furtively slipped out of the Bo Family residence, making sure no one discovered she had been there that day.

After Gu Mianmian left, Lan Tian gently pounded Bao Mu's shoulders and said to her, "Madam, now… you don't need to worry anymore. I believe that from now on, Gu Wenyan definitely won't be able to act so smugly in front of you!"

Lan Tian added fuel to the fire: "The look on Gu Wenyan's face that day made me furious the moment I saw it—I felt she was being far too smug and arrogant!"

"You don't need to say these things, but as for what comes next…" Bao Mu curved her lips. "Let's see what Gu Mianmian is capable of—whether she can deliver what she promised me."

Whether she can really deal with Gu Wenyan.

What Bao Mu wanted now was simply for Gu Wenyan and her son's marriage to be unable to continue, for them to separate.

Best of all would be for Gu Wenyan to quickly stay far away from the Bo Family and never appear before her again.

Gu Wenyan's appearance gave Bao Mu a powerful sense of crisis; she always felt that this woman would one day turn the Bo Family upside down… and change the peaceful life she had envisioned.

After thinking for a long while, Bao Mu said to Lan Tian again, "We can't just rest easy now. Although Gu Mianmian made a promise, still…"

If Gu Mianmian truly had such impressive abilities, she wouldn't have failed against Gu Wenyan time and time again before.

And she wouldn't have let Gu Wenyan so easily snatch away the attention of the Gu Family's several brothers.

"So, Madam, do you have some other plan in mind?"

Bao Mu's expression turned dark and brooding. After pondering in silence for a long time, she suddenly said, "I need to find someone else to come help."

Lan Tian was startled and asked in surprise, "Madam, who are you planning to ask for help?"

"Since Gu Wenyan thinks she's so capable, believes she's the most worthy match for my son… then I'll find someone even more worthy of him!"

Bao Mu gave a cold, thin smile. "In Jingcheng, I really can't find a better girl for the moment, but this time, abroad, I happen to know one… a very outstanding girl."

Lan Tian was utterly astonished. "When did this happen? Why didn't you mention it to me, Madam?"

"Is there any need to tell you about this?" Bao Mu cast a cold glance at Lan Tian, then looked away.

She had only just thought of this matter now—she hadn't considered it before, after all, her son already had a marriage arrangement with Gu Wenyan, and the whole city knew the two of them were going to marry.

Moreover, Bao Sihan was so obstinate and headstrong that Bao Mu was somewhat at a loss with him.

But… Bao Mu was extremely pleased with that girl; one could say every aspect of her delighted Bao Mu.

"I must ask her whether she's willing to come back to the country. If she is, then… I will definitely have her teach Gu Wenyan a lesson! She and Si Han are the most perfect match."

In Bao Mu's eyes, only that girl was the most worthy of her son…

Gu Wenyan had no idea what they were plotting at that moment. She simply went to work at Gu Group as a new day began, and Gu Mianmian also requested to come to the Marketing Department.

Gu Mianmian's proposal was far too obvious. Gu Wenyan was quite surprised—why hadn't she noticed before that Gu Mianmian had such intentions?

It seemed that, increasingly worried about her current situation, she now wanted to work.

At least by working, she could get more opportunities and secure a place for herself within Gu Group.

In the future, when the shares were divided, she could also get a share.

Gu Mianmian was growing more and more impatient. Before, she had only wanted to be a carefree heiress, doing nothing, living a free and easy life on the family's money and everything the Gu Family could give her.

Every day she only needed to go shopping, buy things, get massages and beauty treatments, and maintain her youthful figure and looks.

But now, with Gu Wenyan as a comparison, she spent most of her time at the company seriously learning how to become a good employee and have value within Gu Group.

Yet if Gu Mianmian continued to idle like this, people would only think she was just an adopted daughter who didn't even bother to work hard, wanting only to enjoy ready-made benefits and clinging to every advantage…

But Gu Wenyan actually dared to come. As for these abilities of hers, Gu Wenyan didn't think Gu Mianmian had what it took to last in the Marketing Department.

To her surprise, on Gu Mianmian's very first day in the Marketing Department, she produced a remarkably impressive case.

She even signed a contract to handle publicity for a newly launched cosmetics brand.

According to Gu Mianmian, this cosmetics brand was a startup project by a friend of hers, who happened to know she was in Gu Group's Marketing Department and gave her the collaboration.

When she returned home that evening and mentioned the matter to her parents, they also praised her, saying Gu Mianmian had performed well.

Gu Mianmian smiled sweetly, her tone carrying a touch of shyness and modest humility: "I just happened to have this opportunity. It doesn't really mean much. When it comes to ability, I still think Sister is the most capable—far more impressive than me… I feel I should learn from Sister."

"She's already used to working at Gu Group, and she's made even greater progress than before. It would indeed be good for you to learn more from her."

"Mm, I will definitely study hard!"

After Gu Mianmian finished speaking, Gu Wenyan merely cast a cold glance.

Gu Wenyan didn't believe Gu Mianmian would seriously study. Doing this was nothing more than wanting their parents to feel she had reflected on her past mistakes and become once again the beloved adopted daughter they adored.

But Gu Mianmian's disguise couldn't last long. Gu Wenyan would soon expose her, laying bare every last bit of her true nature.

On another workday, Gu Wenyan went to the company on her own, while Gu Mianmian rode in Gu Yechen's car.

As Gu Mianmian got into the car, she saw Gu Wenyan getting into the one Gu Yeting had sent, and sighed: "Sister still won't come with me."

Gu Yechen, however, was no longer casually swayed by her provocations. His expression was flat: "Enough, there's no need to keep bringing this up."

Gu Mianmian forced a smile and said nothing more.

No sooner had Gu Wenyan stepped into the Marketing Department office than Gu Mianmian followed right behind her, then announced to everyone: "I have another new collaboration today. Who's willing to take charge of this case with me?"

The people around immediately got excited—if they could be in charge of this case, wouldn't they be able to earn a commission…
