Chapter 1976: You've Got the Wrong Person

Gan Yujing didn't notice Shu Yu's actions, and she returned to her own private room with a heavy heart.

Therefore, she was unaware that shortly after the master and servant entered their private room, a girl emerged from the corner, her face dark, staring at Shu Yu's private room.

Her maidservant whispered, "Miss."

Cheng Jiatong's gaze was sharp. "I want to see who dares to steal my man. I've been planning for so long, hoping for so long. I absolutely won't allow anyone to ruin it."

The maidservant hastily agreed, "Miss, don't worry. She's just a country bumpkin from the county. She couldn't compare to Miss in any way. I think..."

Before she could finish her sentence, both of them saw a beautiful girl coming out of the private room in question.

As soon as Shu Yu stepped out, she felt someone staring at her.

She turned her head and met Cheng Jiatong's resentful gaze, as if she had done something wrong to her.

Shu Yu was certain that she didn't know this person. She found it baffling.

She averted her gaze and closed the door to her private room.

Inside, Liao Shi and Tao Shi were already discussing child-rearing techniques, and the conversation was veering off-topic. Shu Yu was bored inside, so she found an excuse to leave.

After all, she had only come here to serve as a backdrop, and her role had already been fulfilled. Continuing to stay there would be like being a wallflower.

She left the private room and went downstairs.

However, when she reached the entrance, she clearly felt that the girl who had shown hostility towards her earlier was following her.

With the crowd bustling around, Shu Yu hesitated for a moment and then walked into a less crowded alley.

When she reached the entrance of the alley, she heard the girl behind her shouting, "Stop right there."

Shu Yu stopped and turned to look at the girl approaching.

This time, the distance was closer, and she examined the girl more carefully. Shu Yu was even more certain that she had never seen this girl before.

"Are you talking to me?" Shu Yu raised her gaze and looked at the girl approaching her.

Cheng Jiatong stopped a couple of steps away from Shu Yu. Her eyes were full of resentment, and she looked at Shu Yu for a moment before sneering, "You're the country bumpkin who came from the countryside?"

"A country bumpkin?" Shu Yu had heard similar comments before, but today...

Shu Yu examined herself, and her attire was impeccable. Considering the importance of today's occasion, she had dressed a bit more formally. At least, she didn't look like a country bumpkin.

The girl's tone and attitude were clearly provoking her.

"Miss, are you sure you've got the right person?" Shu Yu asked.

"No mistake, it's definitely you," Cheng Jiatong replied with a sneer. They were about the same age, and they had both just come out of the private room where they had been seen together. Besides her, who else could it be?

Cheng Jiatong continued coldly, "Let me make it clear: don't think about things that don't belong to you. If you're sensible, go back to your home. This is Changjin Prefecture city, not a place for you to come. If anything happens to you here, no one will support you. Understand your place."

Shu Yu remained silent.

While she admitted that Changjin Prefecture was not her home, she also knew her own status very well. However, the way this girl was talking seemed to be directed at her, but also not quite.
