Chapter 176: Will Be Very Happy

Of course, it's also thanks to her master — now everyone knows that Gu Wenyan has a master who is an Intangible Cultural Heritage inheritor.

Once the news spread, people weren't just discussing Gu Wenyan herself — some busybodies also posted some gossip they'd dug up online.

"You probably don't know this, but actually, regarding the marriage between Gu Wenyan and the Bo Family Head… his mother disagreed with it. She felt he and Gu Wenyan weren't a good match, so she even wanted to find him another wife more suited to him!"

Someone immediately asked below: "Who did she want to find??"

"You know the Bai family daughter, right? She only just returned from abroad not long ago. I heard that while she was abroad, she already had a very good relationship with the Bo Family Head's mother, which made her feel… the Bai family's daughter was the daughter-in-law she had her eye on and liked, and she wanted to choose her."

"Unfortunately, Gu Wenyan and Bao Sihan are already married, so his mother couldn't really do anything about him and could only accept it… but she still tried to find every opportunity to suppress Gu Wenyan. She didn't expect to miscalculate."

Someone asked curiously: "So is that Bai family daughter very impressive?"

"She grew up abroad, and her family background is excellent. Not to mention she'll be the heir of Bai Shi Group in the future… just think about it, that status is definitely different."

The moment this was said, someone immediately commented below: "So what? Isn't it all just relying on her family? But Gu Wenyan has never relied solely on her family, has she! Whatever Gu Wenyan has achieved probably has little to do with the Gu Family…"

"I think so too. I'm not familiar with that Bai family daughter, but even if she's great, I don't think she could completely overshadow Gu Wenyan. How could Bao Sihan's mother be so foolish?"

"Maybe it's just a kind of bias, or maybe she never expected Gu Wenyan to have so many strengths…"

"But she's the disciple of an Intangible Cultural Heritage inheritor — how extraordinary is that? Not just anyone can compare…"

Gu Wenyan looked at the discussions about herself online and honestly didn't quite understand how netizens could have so many thoughts.

They were quite patient, always keeping comparisons in mind.

But some of what they said was actually correct — Gu Wenyan truly doesn't rely on others.

At least she didn't rely on the Gu Family. Everything she has, she obtained herself.

As the chat went on, no one knew who started digging into other things about Gu Wenyan online again.

"I heard before that Gu Wenyan gave her second brother a particularly impressive painting for his Art Museum — the work of some big shot. Do you know that this big shot has long since retired from the art world? How could it have ended up in her hands so easily, and it's a genuine piece too?"

"Does Gu Wenyan have some other connections?"

"Who knows? I now feel Gu Wenyan is so mysterious. Does Gu Wenyan have some hidden identity… otherwise how could she be this amazing??"

"I feel like Gu Wenyan doesn't even need to come back to the Gu Family — the Gu Family should be the ones trying to climb up to her!"

"Hahaha, I suddenly remember that during some time before, another person from the Gu Family was always competing with Gu Wenyan. Now I feel like that other Gu family daughter who was picked up is just… truly not as good as the family's own child…"

Gu Mianmian saw these discussions and was nearly driven mad with rage. The thing she hated most in her life was being gossiped about and compared to Gu Wenyan.

Gu Mianmian wanted to see Gu Wenyan crushed beneath her, trampled underfoot — but reality was the complete opposite of what Gu Mianmian wanted.

Now, Gu Wenyan had not only avoided being crushed by Gu Mianmian, but had gained more and more enviable identities.

Gu Mianmian couldn't understand why Gu Wenyan had such good luck. How could a Su Embroidery master possibly be Gu Wenyan's master? Why was Gu Wenyan so lucky? Why was she herself inferior to Gu Wenyan in every way!

Gu Mianmian thought… never mind, sooner or later she would make Gu Wenyan regret it. Everything Gu Wenyan had now — she would make sure Gu Wenyan never had the chance to compare with her again…

After Gu Wenyan returned home, her mother also asked related questions, so she could only tell them: "Master Su was a neighbor of where I was living at the time."

"Because the environment there was nice — lovely scenery with small bridges and flowing water, and the air was fresh — she wanted to pick a place for a vacation… and happened to stay right next door to us, so we got to know each other by a fortunate coincidence."

Gu Yefeng happened to come back and, hearing this, asked: "So the painting you gave me before?"

"Oh, apart from her, there were also a few other houses nearby that they rented out — Master Su and some of her friends. My planting techniques… I also learned from them."

Anyway, now everyone already knew what kind of identity Gu Wenyan had, so there was no need for her to keep hiding it.

Ye Yiwen, hearing this, was even a little expectant: "Is there any chance we could invite them over to our home as guests? I'd like to thank them properly… they must have taken care of you before, right?"

"Mm, let's talk about it when there's a chance."

They had all chosen to live in seclusion to stay away from the many disturbances of this world — better not to bother them.

Back when Gu Wenyan returned to the Gu Family, those elders had told her to try not to tell others where they lived, precisely so they wouldn't be disturbed.

So Gu Wenyan wouldn't now trouble them just because her parents wanted to meet them. But for the wedding… she would definitely invite them to come.

Gu Yeting wandered down from upstairs and said with a faint smile: "Looks like there are quite a few secrets about you that we don't know."

Gu Wenyan gave a light hum: "There are quite a few, but there's no need to tell you."

"…" Gu Yeting was rebuffed and said helplessly, "There really is no need to tell me… these are all your own affairs."

Ye Yiwen patted Gu Wenyan's hand: "Alright, these things aren't that important. Anyway, now that you're back home, everything has become better."

Gu Wenyan nodded: "Then I'll head out first. I have dinner plans with Si Han."

The wedding is just a few days away — it's about to be held — so she needs to go over the final details with him.

There were quite a few details on-site, and Bao Sihan left the decisions to Gu Wenyan. She was actually very happy that he gave her so much respect, putting her preferences first in everything.

Meeting a man like this… Gu Wenyan thought that from now on, she would surely live very happily.

After Gu Wenyan left, both Gu Yefeng and Gu Yeting sighed helplessly — their sister really didn't think much of them these days.

Although they were also trying hard, they couldn't earn her approval and so far hadn't been of much use.

Although Gu Wenyan was still quite polite to them, this kind of politeness wasn't what they wanted to see. Changing her attitude toward them wasn't something that could be achieved in a short time.

After Gu Wenyan met up with Bao Sihan, she asked him: "How's your aunt? Is she very angry?"

Bao Sihan smiled: "Are you afraid she's unhappy?"
