Chapter 2: A Different Gu Fenyi

The maid named Wang Yue started feeling anxious outside the entryway. Madam Gu would normally lose control whenever Miss Lu's name came up which resulted in loud screaming along with crying spells and damaged possessions. But today… silence.

It was scary.

At the moment both downstairs Miss Lu stood near the stairs. The actress stood renowned in her field because of her good looks and her curly hair and gentle facial appearance. The pregnant actress placed her palms lightly on her stomach then let out a soft breath through which she tried to present a fragile appearance.

Taking a gentle tone she questioned "Does she plan to stay inside?"

Wang Yue spoke uneasily that the person might be continuing to sleep.

Miss Lu surveyed the luxurious house which displayed its exquisite and costly items throughout. She felt jealous. This should’ve been hers. During pregnancy she gained her opportunity to restore the position she had once held.

She made her way forward to give herself a knock on the door. “Mrs. Ye, I’m not here to fight. We just need to talk.”

Gu Fenyi ignored everything happening outside that apartment as she stayed within the walls of her home.

She was examining the room. The bedsides would not allow her to rest due to their bad design and the lamp placement and the reflective nature of the wall mirror she considered unacceptable.

She uncovered the mirror before examining herself in it.

She wore a silk green dress which revealed her thin shoulders through its straps. She had beautiful collarbone features that shone through her open dress but thick artificial makeup hid her pretty face. The makeup made her appear cheap in the unflattering light yet completely hid her authentic appearance.

She spent time searching through the room until she discovered what looked like makeup removal solution. Her methodical cleaning of the mask layers revealed her true features including clean face and defined eyebrows with her eyes shining clear.

Meanwhile, outside—

“My belly… it hurts!” Lu Meng suddenly cried.

Wang Yue panicked. “Someone call the doctor!”

A weird device inside the room produced a buzzing sound before its lights activated. It was a phone.

Using the phone Gu Fenyi discovered how to operate the device to place a call.

“Hello?” a man said nervously. “Is this Mrs. Ye? The Fourth Young Master has gotten into a fight so he now waits in the police department for his pickup. Can you come pick him up?”

The Fourth Young Master? A younger brother of Ye Wen?

Public fighting led to a police station arrest. How shameful.

The heavy designer belt caught Gu Fenyi's attention so she took it to determine its weight. A photograph of Ye Wen caught her attention.

A dark outfit covered his body while his tight short haircut matched his unyielding stare. Handsome, but dangerous.

The original Gu Fenyi forced this man into marriage.

She placed the photograph aside before unlocking the door.

Both Wang Yue and Lu Meng stood motionless.

The red trench coat wrapped Gu Fenyi as she crossed the threshold while wearing her sleeping attire. She wore her hair untangled and her fresh-faced appearance created a radiant look. The present Gu Fenyi displayed none of the loud noisy attributes her old self had possessed.

The women faced her with stunned expressions.

“Madam…” Wang Yue whispered.

Lu Meng pushed her words urgently because she wanted to make it clear she intended no power grab. She had one simple request which was to discuss the baby's situation.

Gu Fenyi passed by without directing any attention her way. The woman walked along without showing any signs of nervousness or hesitancy.

“Where are you going?” Wang Yue called after her.

She explained she was going to fetch the Fourth Young Master.

“But… you two don’t get along!” Wang Yue said, confused.

Gu Fenyi held up the thick belt and said calmly, “That’s why I’m bringing this. Might as well stretch my hands.”

Wang Yue and Lu Meng: “???”

She seemed to be heading to physically punish the Fourth Master.

Both of them remained unmoving in shock.

Gu Fenyi smiled slightly.

Things in this house were about to change.
