On the night Su Mei first transmigrated into the novel, she had made an excuse to move out from there, but the matter was interrupted by the news of Gu Hongguang’s death.

In the following days, every time Su Mei brought up moving out to Auntie Mei, the latter either pretended not to hear or warned her with a stern face that all matters in the household had to be decided by the young master.

At this moment, Auntie Mei took the initiative to let her move out, making Su Mei somewhat incredulous.

Could it be that this was the male protagonist’s decision? Now that the inheritance had been divided, they wanted her to leave?

“Ms. Su, may I ask when you plan to move?”

“There’s no time like the present. How about now?” Su Mei replied.

Having stayed apprehensively in the male protagonist’s territory for two days, Su Mei no longer wanted to remain there for even a moment.

Auntie Mei inwardly thought, This woman will really move out so cleanly and swiftly?

Auntie Mei was still in shock when she heard Su Mei continue, “I’ve already packed my things. Just get a few people to move them to my villa at Xishan Residence, and also drive my cars over there.”

Xishan Residence was the place Su Mei had chosen to live from the pile of property deeds she had gone through over the past two days.

Although the other Su Mei had a few luxury apartments in the city center, Su Mei usually spent her time either doing live streams or binge-watching shows at home. Living in the city center would have been a waste of the bustling environment. Taking advantage of the high property prices in the city, she could rent out all those apartments instead.

Xishan Residence, on the other hand, was quiet and neither too far nor too close to the city. Delivery services could reach it within half an hour, making it very suitable for Su Mei.

Most importantly, Xishan Residence was located in the western part of the city, while the Gu Group’s company building was in the city center, the Gu family’s main residence was in the south, and the female protagonist, Bai Xinyu’s home, was in the eastern part. B City was so large, and since Su Mei didn’t like going out much, it was entirely possible that she could avoid running into the male and female protagonists for the rest of her life.

It was simply perfect!

“Ha ha, Ms. Su, since you want to move out, I won’t stop you. However, I can only instruct people to clean the house after you leave. As for matters outside the main residence, those are beyond my control. Where you want to move and what you want to take are entirely up to you.” Auntie Mei said, turning on her heel and heading to the kitchen.

Tsk tsk, those clinging to the male protagonist’s coattails were indeed tough. Now they didn’t even bother with formalities.

Watching Auntie Mei’s departing figure, Su Mei reluctantly admitted that, as fellow side characters, she couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.

But never mind, never mind, she was a billionaire now and had to stay calm.

Besides, if Auntie Mei didn’t arrange people for her, couldn’t she call them herself? The other Su Mei still had some authority in this household.

Su Mei didn’t even eat dinner at the Gu family’s main residence and simply grabbed her bags and left.

Xishan Residence.

“Thump——”

“Ms. Su, your things are all here. We’ll head back now.” A person said, placing the last box in front of Su Mei.

“Um, thank you.” Looking at the box right next to her toes, Su Mei silently took a step back.

She wondered what Auntie Mei might have told the household staff before she left. Su Mei couldn’t shake off the feeling that their gazes held a strange mix of ridicule and sympathy.

“Um, Xiao Liu— ah no— Xiao Zhang? Or is it Xiao Wang? That, please wait a moment.” Su Mei hastily stopped one of them as they prepared to leave.

“Ms. Su, do you need something else?”

“Can you find someone good at decorations?” Su Mei asked.

Although the villas at Xishan Residence were move-in ready, Su Mei wanted to make a live streaming room with a more girlish vibe.

“No need for anything too detailed, just something that looks decent overall. It would be best if it’s done quickly, maybe within two days. I’ll pay double for the job.”

“Madam, you want to redecorate? That’s perfect. My sister and brother-in-law work in an interior design company. I’ll ask them to contact you right away.”

“Err, thank you.” Because of the other party’s enthusiastic response, Su Mei was embarrassed to tell him that she just needed a small room redecorated, and superficial changes were sufficient. As long as it looked good under the lens, even changing the wallpaper would do.

After seeing off the Gu family’s household staff, Su Mei happily wandered around her spacious villa, exploring every corner. Finally satisfied, she stretched out contentedly on the leather sofa.

She took out her phone, ordered takeout, and casually scrolled through the other Su Mei’s ostentatious social media posts. Feeling a bit bored, Su Mei then looked up the phone number of the country’s second-ranked travel service company and gave them a call.

Why the second-ranked one? Because if she remembered correctly, the company with the best reputation and was ranked first seemed to have investment from the Gu family.

“Hello, this is Global Travel. How may I help you?”

“I’d like to book a luxury travel package.”

“Alright, ma’am. Could you please let me know your preferred travel dates and destination?”

“It doesn’t matter where or for how long. Just give me your most expensive package!”

“Uh, alright. Our most expensive package is a two-month Global Custom Travel Package, covering eight European countries, the UAE, the north and south poles, along with a private guide and a personal assistant throughout the trip……”

“Those are the descriptions of the package. Does it meet your requirements, ma’am?”

“It does, it does, it fits perfectly.”

“Then may I have your surname, ma’am?”

“My last name is Su.”

“Alright, Ms. Su, could you please provide your address? One of our staff members will visit you shortly to confirm the departure date, your dietary preferences, guide and assistant selection, and to finalize the contract.”

“Additionally, the price for this package is 2 million. After signing the contract, you’ll only need to pay 50%, which is 1 million. During the trip, if there’s anything that doesn’t meet your satisfaction, it will be deducted from the remaining payment of 1 million.”

“Wait, how much did you just say?”

“1—”

“No, before that. How much does this package cost?”

“The price of this package is 2 million, Ms. Su.”

“Cough, cough, t-that, I was actually playing truth or dare with friends. Sorry for the disturbance.” Su Mei said hastily, not giving the other person a chance to scold her, and promptly hung up the phone.

One billion yuan is a staggering amount and Su Mei had no concept of its magnitude, but 2 million yuan? In her eyes, that was still a huge sum!

Back when she bought all those lottery tickets, she never even dared to imagine winning 2 million.

“Europe, UAE, north and south poles? Tch, isn’t the sunset everywhere the same?” Su Mei muttered to herself.

Just as she set down her phone, a call came in.

Wu Fei.

Seeing the name on the caller ID, Su Mei exclaimed with interest and promptly answered, “Hello, Wu Fei.”

“Ms. Su, how come you didn’t inform me in advance that you were moving to Xishan Residence?” Wu Fei asked over the phone.

If she hadn’t received the notification from the Gu Group’s Legal Affairs Department to assist with the inheritance transfer and went to the Gu family’s main residence, she wouldn’t have known that Su Mei had already moved out.

Su Mei: If you hadn’t called, I would have almost forgotten that you existed.

Wu Fei was the all-around assistant that Gu Hongguang had previously arranged for Su Mei. Despite not appearing frequently in the novel or in front of Su Mei, Wu Fei was exceptionally reliable when it came to handling matters.

Previously, whenever the other Su Mei wanted to buy something, order limited edition items, or secure tickets for events, she could simply send a text to Wu Fei, and the other party would arrange everything for her.

Most importantly, Wu Fei was personally hired by Gu Hongguang, with no connection to the Gu family or under the influence of the male protagonist whatsoever!

“I was kicked out, wasn’t I? It was rushed so I didn’t have time to let you know.” Su Mei said casually as she lounged on the sofa.

“Is that so? That’s not what the housekeeper said when I went to the main residence……”

“What did she say?”

“She said that you insisted on moving out and no one could persuade you otherwise.” Wu Fei said truthfully.

In fact, it wasn’t just Wu Fei who was told this.

After Su Mei left the main residence, Auntie Mei called Gu Yancheng and told him the same story as she had told Wu Fei.

Gu Yancheng was momentarily surprised to hear that Su Mei had voluntarily requested to move out of the main residence. However, recalling her behavior in the meeting room earlier that day, where she seemed eager to not have anything to do with the Gu family’s shares, he wasn’t all that surprised after all.

However, an insignificant woman and an insignificant matter were not enough to concern CEO Gu.

He simply said, “Got it,” and hung up the phone.

Unaware that Auntie Mei had already called the male protagonist, Su Mei, upon hearing Wu Fei’s words, was so angry that she sprang up from the sofa.

“That shameless old woman!”

Wu Fei: “Cough……” Ms. Su seems quite different from the one in the text messages and from what she had imagined.

“Forget it, forget it. I have nothing to do with that person surnamed Gu anymore anyway.”

“Err, that, Wu Fei, don’t misunderstand. Even though Old Mr. Gu has passed away and I have nothing to do with the Gu family and Gu Yancheng now, you’re still my assistant. I’ll continue to pay your salary from here.”

“Yes, yes, thank you, Ms. Su.” Wu Fei’s voice became a little excited.

Although previously, Su Mei hadn’t paid much attention to Wu Fei, right now, not being unemployed was all that mattered to her.

“Right, Ms. Su, since you’ve just moved to Xishan Residence, you probably haven’t prepared anything. Let me contact some housekeeping staff to help you tidy up first.”

“Okay, okay.” Look, such a capable assistant who was far away from the main plot of the novel was hard to find even with a lantern.

“Also, how many helpers do you need and what kind of cuisine chefs do you want? Please let me know and I’ll arrange it tomorrow since it’s too late today.”

“No, I don’t need helpers or anything like that.” She preferred the solitude of being alone at home. “Just have housekeeping come once a week for cleaning, and maybe deliver some fresh groceries.”

“All right then, I’ll get in touch with them.”

“Ms. Su, there’s another important matter. Today, I received a call from the Gu Group’s legal department. I’ve already collected Old Mr. Gu’s inheritance distribution documents. The funds will be transferred to your account within two working days. Additionally, some asset transfer papers require your signature. I’ll bring them over tomorrow.”

“Oh, and also the transfer confirmation for the shares.”

It would have been fine if Wu Fei hadn’t mentioned this matter, but once the Gu Group’s shares were brought up, Su Mei became uneasy again.

“Um, Wu Fei, I have something very, very important to entrust to you.”
