Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Thinking of the invitation from Yuan Shuang, her head started hurting.
Itâs hard being a woman!
Itâs even harder to be the woman of a big shot!
Itâs true that there are always unruly people who want to harm me!
Hearing her phone ringing, she picked it up. âHello.â
âHavenât you set off yet?â Qiao Yi asked.
Gu Wanâan supported her chin with one hand, casually flipping through a book. Her tone casual and disdainful. âIâm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?â
âIâm reminding you to wear a formal dress. In this kind of upper-class society, status is the most important thing. Donât drop the ball at the critical moment. Remember to pick expensive clothes to wear and blind their dog eyes!â
Gu Wanâan;ââ¦â
It wasnât until seven oâclock that she changed into her gown and went downstairs.
âSecond Young Lady, itâs so late. Where are you going?â Tang De asked.
âYuan Shuangâs banquet.â
âMiss Yuan?â Tang De paused for a second before saying, âIâll have the driver send you there.â
âAlright.â
The Banquet was held at the Yuan Manor.
At the entrance, there were a lot of luxury cars.
Gu Wanâan glanced around indifferently and then walked into the banquet hall.
The smell of wine drifted around.
Just as she walked in, Yuan Shuang walked over.
She was wearing a red gauze dress. As she walked, the hem of the dress fluttered. She was as beautiful and elegant as a Greek goddess.
âYouâre here.â
Yuan Shuang smiled elegantly as she held Gu Wanâanâs arm intimately.
Gu Wanâanâs body stiffened, resisting the urge to pull her arm out.
âYouâre finally here. Everyoneâs already here. Go and say hello.â
As they spoke, Gu Wanâan was forcefully brought into the banquet hall.
All the ladies were wearing formal dresses and carrying branded bags in their hands.
Gu Wanâan raised her eyebrows.
Is this a banquet? Those who didnât know better would think that it was a beauty pageant contest!
âEveryone, quiet down. Let me introduce you.â Yuan Shuang clapped her hands lightly, making a crisp sound. âThis is the popular movie star, Miss Shen Ziqing.â
âShen Ziqing? Never heard of it.â
âI know. Shen Ziqing is a wild child that the Shen family brought back ten years ago. She has spent a lot of money over the years, so her rustic aura has faded a little.â
Mrs. Jinâs eyes were filled with disdain.
The wealthy ladies around them all turned to look at Gu Wanâan when they heard Mrs. Jinâs words.
âWild child, what do you mean?â A puzzled voice came from behind her.
Yuan Shuang frowned and reprimanded her unhappily, âMrs. Jin, please pay attention to the occasion. Donât spout nonsense.ââ
âIâm not talking nonsense. Sheâs not the Shen familyâs child. I donât know which wild man she belongs to. She doesnât have a share of the Shen familyâs assets at all.â Mrs. Jin crossed her arms and said coldly.
Yuan Shuangâs breathing fluctuated.
Shen Ziqing is actually the illegitimate daughter of the Shen family?
Did Gong Mingye know about this?
Gu Wanâan smiled lightly, her expression calm and collected, as if the person being discussed was not her.
Well, it wasnât her in the first place.
Yuan Shuang restrained her emotions and continued, âAlright, no matter what, Ziqingâs current identity is the Second Young Lady of the Gong Family. She will definitely attend our gatherings often in the future. Weâre all friends, so letâs be friendly.â
Gu Wanâanâs eyes were cold. She frowned and looked at Yuan Shuang without saying anything.
Mrs. Jin took a deep breath and said, âIsnât it just a contractual marriage? The Gong family doesnât even want to acknowledge her identity. Itâs just a fake name.â
âThatâs right.â
The surrounding people echoed.
Gu Wanâan silently rolled her eyes.
Just a bunch of old women.. Did they think she wanted to enter such a crappy circle?
