As the owner of a beauty salon, You Jingqiu often heard various tidbits about the upper class while serving her clients. From what she knew, the Chu Family had only one pair of children, with Chu Zimu being the eldest son. This meant that the future family business of the Chu Family would all be inherited by Chu Zimu.
If her daughter could successfully form a lasting relationship with the eldest son of the Chu Family, You Mingyue would become the future grand lady of the Chu Family, the first lady of Yujiang City's business circle.
When compared with Zhang Zhiyi, this status was not to be underestimated.
Xu Xingguang could only rely on Zhang Zhiyi, while her daughter would be the support for many others in the future!
You Jingqiu immediately felt a sense of triumph and pride.
Ever since hearing what You Mingyue said, Xu Zeqing seemed a bit distracted. He had met Chu Zimu before because the latter was once one of Xu Xingguang's pursuers. Xu Xingguang later chose Jiang Heng, and a disheartened Chu Zimu decided to go abroad.
Who would have thought that after all the twists and turns, Chu Zimu would end up with Ming Yue again!
The relationship between the two sisters was awkward to begin with, and now having had romantic entanglements with the same man, the relationship would definitely become even more strained.
"Honey, Ming Yue's boyfriend is coming to our home tomorrow for dinner. What preparations do we need to make? The Chu Family is no ordinary family, and I have no experience with their kind of family standards of etiquette. You've seen a lot, give me some ideas."
Hearing this, Xu Zeqing slowly came back to his senses.
Never mind, as long as we can be tied to the Chu Family, it doesn't matter who's dating Chu Zimu.
Xu Zeqing said, "Wait a moment, I'll find out what Mr. Chu likes." After saying that, Xu Zeqing quickly went upstairs with a light step.
His reaction clearly showed how seriously he took the matter of meeting Chu Zimu tomorrow.
Typically, he only gets this solemn when Hong Ruhai comes back for a family visit.
Regarding this, You Jingqiu was very satisfied. She happily took You Mingyue's hand and said, "Ming Yue, come, tell mom how you two met."
"Alright."
Through You Mingyue's narration, You Jingqiu finally understood the whole story.
It turned out that three months ago, You Mingyue risked her life to save a little boy from in front of a car, and the man driving it was none other than the returned Chu Zimu. They got to know each other through interactions back and forth.
Before Christmas, Chu Zimu invited You Mingyue to attend a party.
At the party, Chu Zimu romantically confessed to You Mingyue. You Mingyue also had good feelings for the handsome and elegant Chu Zimu, and the two officially began dating.
"Oh my gosh, you're actually dating Chu Zimu!" You Jingqiu was overjoyed. Holding You Mingyue's hands, she expressed with emotion, "Everyone always compares me to Mo Yinshu, praising her Xu Xingguang for being talented and outstanding. But in mom's eyes, our Ming Yue is the best."
"You've signed with an entertainment company thanks to your piano talent, maybe you could become a piano star in the future. And now you're dating Chu Zimu. Let's see who dares to look down on us now?"
You Mingyue smiled softly, feeling proud inside.
During elementary, middle, and high school, You Mingyue and Xu Xingguang attended the same school. But she was a grade ahead of Xu Xingguang.
You Mingyue was very beautiful, always the class beauty. And having learned piano since childhood, she was adored throughout her grade.
Logically, she should have been the campus star.
But their school happened to have a Xu Xingguang.
Xu Xingguang's family was wealthy, her mother a nationwide renowned female writer, and she herself was pretty and likable. From middle school onwards, she was the most dazzling girl in the school. At that time, every teenager with budding feelings had a crush on Xu Xingguang.
You Mingyue grew up hearing Xu Xingguang's name over and over again, and over time, the name Xu Xingguang became a thorn in You Mingyue's heart.
It didn't kill her, but made her feel uncomfortable deep down.
Chu Zimu was a few years older than them. Xu Xingguang was best friends with Chu Zimu's sister, Chu Ziling. Whenever Chu Zimu came to school to pick up his sister, he always had Xu Xingguang with him.
In her adolescence, You Mingyue had a crush on Chu Zimu.
But Chu Zimu only had eyes for Xu Xingguang, and You Mingyue had no courage to get close to him, let alone confess her feelings.
Later she heard that Chu Zimu confessed to Xu Xingguang but was heartlessly rejected by her, and an emotionally wounded Chu Zimu went abroad to study.
Three months ago, You Mingyue ran into the returning Chu Zimu at a coffee shop and recognized him at a glance. She was troubled over how to approach Chu Zimu until she saw a naughty boy rush toward Chu Zimu's car.
At that moment, You Mingyue hesitated for just a second before rushing over.
Her courageous act of saving someone successfully left an indelible impression in Chu Zimu's heart. After that, their interactions gradually increased, and You Mingyue easily won Chu Zimu's heart, becoming his girlfriend.
Back in the bedroom, sitting on the bed that Xu Xingguang once slept on, You Mingyue laughed neurotically.
"Xu Xingguang, look, the man who once admired you and quietly escorted you home is now under my spell. Even if you were still alive, there's no place for you in this Xu Family, this Yujiang City. The most dazzling rose in Yujiang City..."
"Heh..." You Mingyue lay back on the bed, a naive and innocent smile on her lips. "What is a Xingguang compared to a Ming Yue who shines the brightest."
She looked at her portrait hanging on the wall and murmured, "From now on, I am the rose, and you are just a drop of mosquito blood."
With a mere small trick, she thoroughly captured Chu Zimu's heart, becoming his official girlfriend. As for Xu Xingguang, she was just a poor soul used and abandoned by Jiang Heng, having lost her mother.
Even if she wakes up, what could she possibly change?
