Heard Someone Wants to Compete With Me in Wealth

Julia Zhu felt like she'd utterly lost face today.

But if one moment of embarrassment could bring her lifelong peace, it was worth it!

Cecilia Gu turned to walk back, and Mrs. Joanne Zhao tried to approach, but was blocked by the bodyguards.

"Mrs. Yin..." Mrs. Joanne Zhao looked at Cecilia Gu ingratiatingly.

Cecilia Gu nodded, and only then did the bodyguards let Mrs. Joanne Zhao come closer.

"Mrs. Yin, you only saw Lily Zhang making a scene just now, but did you know? Lily Zhang's boyfriend is actually Julia Zhu's husband." Mrs. Joanne Zhao gossiped, "Lily Zhang lives next door and is way too arrogant. But what can you do? Lily's young and beautiful, and Julia Zhu really is getting old."

A flash of realization passed through Cecilia Gu's eyes.

No wonder she'd felt something was off—it all made sense now.

Julia Zhu had originally wanted to send everyone away so she could settle the score with Lily Zhang alone.

But she hadn't expected Lily Zhang to be so dramatic. As soon as she saw people leaving, she started shouting, "Just try taking one step! I'll take pictures and post them on Weibo right now, saying you all ganged up on me! Boo hoo... Every one of you is siding with Julia Zhu, all coming here to bully me!"

Sure enough, everyone stopped in their tracks, ready to watch the drama unfold.

For everyone else, there's no reason not to enjoy the spectacle.

Cecilia Gu shook her head speechlessly.

Mrs. Joanne Zhao let out a cold laugh and said to Cecilia Gu, "Lily Zhang finally caught Julia Zhu in a scandal—she's basically staging a coup!"

A coup?

Seeing Cecilia Gu's confused look, Mrs. Joanne Zhao continued gossiping, "That's right, Lily Zhang has always wanted to stage a coup, but she never had any dirt on Julia Zhu. Julia Zhu and Mr. Zhu grew up together in the same village, childhood sweethearts. Later, Mr. Zhu became a contractor, his business boomed, and with a bit of luck, he bought some land. Within a few years, those plots made money and Mr. Zhu suddenly became rich."

"But once Mr. Zhu had cash, he started complaining that his wife wasn't young or beautiful enough, not fashionable or fun, so he kept Lily Zhang as his mistress. And he was bold enough to keep her right next door to the main wife—if that's not a declaration of war, what is?" Mrs. Joanne Zhao, not young herself, sided with Julia Zhu: "Poor Julia, bullied like this and still can't say anything. She even has to protect Mr. Zhu's reputation. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise?" Cecilia Gu raised an eyebrow.

"Otherwise, Mr. Zhu would just find an excuse to divorce her!" Mrs. Joanne Zhao curled her lip. "Sure, Julia Zhu's background is a bit lower than ours, but she's done her best for this family. It's a shame—once the main wife gets old and loses her looks, men always change their hearts!"

For some reason, Cecilia Gu suddenly thought of herself and Sylvia Ran.

Legally speaking, she was definitely the main wife.

Sylvia Ran was Charles Yin's old flame, his red rose, his white moonlight.

Looking at herself now, her body was already changing because of the pregnancy.

Face-wise, she couldn't compare to Sylvia Ran.

Figure-wise, she couldn't compare to Sylvia Ran.

Even emotionally, she couldn't compare to Sylvia Ran.

Heh, what right did she have to compete with Sylvia Ran for anything?

Suddenly, she realized she wasn't much better off than Julia Zhu... Mr. Zhu kept Lily Zhang right next to the main wife, and Sylvia Ran was always with Charles Yin...

At least Mr. Zhu and Julia Zhu had been childhood sweethearts, and even then he still strayed.

As for her and Charles Yin... hehehe...

She really had been hoping for too much.

Just then, Assistant Xiao Wang called, letting Cecilia Gu know she'd already gotten her rabies shot at the hospital.

But this shot needed to be repeated several more times...

Cecilia Gu looked at the photo Assistant Xiao Wang sent—the wound was so deep you could see the bone. She couldn't help but gasp!

Thinking of Assistant Xiao Wang getting hurt for her, and then remembering Lily Zhang's hateful face, Cecilia Gu couldn't stay calm and just watch anymore.

Even if she knew Julia Zhu was using her today, she still had to stand up for herself.

She'd had enough frustration these days—there was no reason to put up with it any longer!

There was a saying that was so true: if you don't die in silence, you'll explode in silence!

Cecilia Gu had no intention of dying—she was going to explode!

"Old and faded?" Cecilia Gu strode out, her eyes icy as she looked at Lily Zhang. "Do you think you're so young?"

Lily Zhang hadn't expected Julia Zhu to stay silent and for this young pregnant woman to step up instead.

No big deal—she was just a nobody anyway, nothing to be afraid of!

"Yeah, I'm young! And you don't look much better yourself!" Lily Zhang sneered. "I always said you were just a nouveau riche, right? Look at the stuff you wear—it's laughable! A nouveau riche dares to challenge me here? You speak up for Julia Zhu, so are you the one who hurt my baby? If you don't pay for my baby's medical bills today, don't even think about leaving!"

"Really?" Cecilia Gu kept walking, heading straight to Julia Zhu and Lily Zhang.

The two bodyguards quickly followed.

Lily Zhang glanced at the bodyguards, a little intimidated, but she was used to being arrogant.

On set, who dared not give her face?

She might only be a third-rate actress for now, but she had plenty of connections!

Mr. Zhu was just one of her backers.

"What, trying to gang up on me? I'm not scared!" Lily Zhang immediately called someone. "Hey, Old Zhu, I'm getting bullied out here! Get your boys over here to back me up! If you don't, don't even think about getting into my room tonight!"

After the person on the other end said something, Lily Zhang finally hung up, satisfied.

Lily Zhang pointed at Cecilia Gu and said, "If you want to leave today, you have to pay me a hundred thousand in compensation and apologize to my baby!"

Everyone around looked at Lily Zhang as if she were a dead woman walking.

This chapter isn't over yet ^.^, please click next page to continue reading!

This time, Lily Zhang was really finished.

"You really want compensation from me?" Cecilia Gu ignored Lily Zhang's finger and slapped her hard across the face!

"You bully me and still want compensation?" Cecilia Gu stepped forward, her gaze sharp as she stared down Lily Zhang. "Today, I'm going to show you what happens to people who mess with me!"

Lily Zhang hadn't expected Cecilia Gu to actually hit her!

Honestly, Cecilia Gu hadn't expected it herself.

She'd been holding it all in for days—she really needed to let it out!

Lily Zhang raised her hand to fight back, but the bodyguard grabbed her hand and shoved her hard, sending her crashing to the ground.

Cecilia Gu looked down at Lily Zhang. "You want money, huh? Fine, I can give you money! But whether you can actually get it depends on your own ability!"

Cecilia Gu pulled out a card from her wallet and tossed it at Lily Zhang's face. "This credit card has no limit! Go ahead, take it! If you've got the guts, take it!"

"Now it's your turn to compensate me! Your dog bit my assistant—now I want your dog's... life!" Cecilia Gu's eyes were icy as she stared at Lily Zhang.

Just then, a group of young men came rushing over, shouting and surrounding Cecilia Gu and the others.

Seeing things were about to get ugly, Julia Zhu quickly sent all her household staff to protect Cecilia Gu.

It didn't matter if her own people got hurt, but if Cecilia Gu suffered, there'd be hell to pay!

When Lily Zhang saw her reinforcements arrive, she jumped up and pointed at Cecilia Gu and Julia Zhu. "They're the ones bullying me! Beat them to death—if anything happens, I'll take responsibility!"

The two bodyguards rushed to the front, firmly shielding Cecilia Gu.

Cecilia Gu was boiling with anger and said coldly, "We're backing off, but this isn't over until we get an explanation!"

The other ladies could tell—Cecilia Gu was truly angry now!

Of course, Lily Zhang's dog bit Cecilia Gu's assistant, and she was being totally unreasonable. Anyone would be mad!

The other ladies quickly shielded Cecilia Gu as they retreated, and once she was in the safe zone, the two bodyguards stopped wasting words and charged at the group of young men!

That group of punks had only come to scare people.

But after seeing what those two bodyguards could do, they nearly wet themselves!

One of them immediately called for reinforcements!

Tsk tsk, a dozen guys got beaten so badly by two bodyguards they were practically crawling away—it was wild...

Soon, the other side called in a crowd—at least fifty or sixty people, all packed together.

This time, even the bodyguards started getting injured.

None of the other ladies had brought bodyguards or assistants, and Julia Zhu's household staff were absolutely useless in a fight.

Just as it looked like Cecilia Gu's two bodyguards were about to be overwhelmed, a squad of well-trained bodyguards burst out of the orchard behind them and charged right in!

The next second, Cecilia Gu's back pressed against a solid chest.

A familiar voice sounded above her head: "Little Mole, not bad! I like it!"

Cecilia Gu froze.

"My woman should be this bold! Only then is she worthy of being mine!" Charles Yin's eyes were full of satisfaction.

Leaning against Charles Yin, Cecilia Gu finally started to feel a wave of fear.

If they hadn't arrived in time...

Cecilia Gu suddenly didn't dare to think about it.

All the women around them were frozen in shock...

It wasn't because Charles Yin and Cecilia Gu were showing off their love, but because of Charles Yin's looks...

Even more seductive and enchanting than the rumors said!

With reinforcements, those dozens of punks were instantly knocked to the ground.

Charles Yin lifted his gaze, a cold, ruthless smile on his lips: "I heard someone wants to compete with me in wealth?"

From the moment Charles Yin appeared, Lily Zhang was utterly dumbfounded.

So... handsome...

Way more handsome than any male celebrity she'd ever seen!

She suddenly realized that all those so-called male celebrities were nothing compared to this man—they were just trash!
