Ou Chunhua wiped her mouth with a napkin, put down her breakfast knife and fork, and said, "You need to arrange the cars properly for tonight."
"Of course, Mrs. Ou. Everyone going is quite distinguished; just by appearances, we can’t let them look down on us." Mrs. Lu took a few more bites of her vegetable salad. She was quite plump and needed to diet to lose weight.
Ou Chunhua watched her eat the vegetables and just frowned, thinking that, no matter what, the car must not be inferior to Gu Nuan’s.
The cocktail party starts in the evening.
As for the car, Zhang Sanfeng had already prepared it for Gu Nuan at the beginning. Uncle Tang also said that the old lady of the Xiao family was afraid she would be wronged and wanted to send the family’s luxury car to take her to the party.
After all, her current identity as the Xiao family’s young mistress should not be looked down upon.
Gu Nuan only remembered that she was initially invited by Chairman Zhan as a financial advisor.
Chairman Zhan indeed called her first, setting up a meeting time and asking if he should pick her up to go together.
So, the choices instantly multiplied.
Zhong Qiaohui pointed and suggested to her. Zhang Sanfeng’s car was nice, a white luxury Lamborghini, one of the world’s top cars.
The Xiao Family’s was the Throne, a black Rolls-Royce, with a magnificent aura. However, for women, white is undoubtedly more elegant compared to black. Considering Gu Nuan’s identity and unique personality, the black Rolls-Royce seemed quite fitting for her as well.
Gu Nuan listened for a long time, only feeling that Miss Zhong was making things more confusing. Thinking about it, Zhong Qiaohui herself didn’t even know what shoes to wear yet. Thus, she definitely couldn’t use her suggestion.
Wei Changqing had changed into his attire for the event and, as their escort, came over and knocked on the door.
Zhong Qiaohui hurriedly slipped on the crystal shoes sent by Brother Zhang, but after just two steps, she twisted her ankle, nearly spraining it.
Seeing her like that, Wei Changqing’s face darkened and said, "When you choose shoes, don’t you consider if you can run and jump in them?"
"Hey, I’m not going to a sports meet. Why should I consider running and jumping?" Zhong Qiaohui retorted, while her ankle indeed seemed sprained, and she had no choice but to take off the beautiful crystal shoes she really liked.
Gu Nuan took out a spare pair of shoes for her since their shoe sizes were similar, only one size apart.
Wei Changqing looked at the special watch on his wrist, visibly impatient.
Their departure time had been delayed.
Zhang Sanfeng’s car and the Xiao family’s car were both parked at the hotel entrance, waiting.
Across the street, Ou Chunhua only saw the two luxury cars, white and black, and thought nothing special of them.
It’s not that the cars weren’t well-known brands, but purely based on their styling, they seemed rather ordinary. The cars Mrs. Lu found had all been modified exteriorly, with beautiful flowers on the front, reminiscent of the camellia girl from novels, distinctively unique.
When Ou Chunhua and Mrs. Lu went downstairs to get in the car, another car suddenly turned the corner and drove in.
The car’s presence sparked heads to turn and exclamations among the pedestrians.
Because this car, golden, gleaming with gold, looked like a queen’s carriage. How could it not be astonishing?
Whose car is this, everyone wondered.
The golden luxury car passed through the other cars and also parked in front of Gu Nuan’s hotel.
Mrs. Lu and Ou Chunhua were just as surprised, wondering if some unknown tycoon, perhaps like an Arab prince, was staying at the hotel across the street.
Zhong Qiaohui heard the phone ringing just as Gu Nuan went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup. She walked over to pick it up and shouted, "Hello, who is it?"
"Sister-in-law——"
The Xiao family?
Zhong Qiaohui sighed.
Wei Changqing stood at the door, his knitted brows could wring water out.
Unexpected trouble? Which Xiao family member is calling at this critical moment?
"Sister-in-law, it’s your fourth sister. You haven’t forgotten after only a few days, have you? My husband heard that you were in Luxembourg, and we happened to be here too. We brought the car to pick you up for the cocktail party."
After hearing this, Zhong Qiaohui walked to the window and pulled back the curtain to look down.
The golden luxury car was parked at the hotel entrance, attracting countless gazes, like a golden sun, an unparalleled display of wealth!
Zhong Qiaohui was stunned and didn’t know that the Xiao family’s fourth daughter married such a particularly wealthy man?
Speaking of which, did Xiao Shuzhu really arrive in that tycoon car?
Indeed, she did.
Xiao Shuzhu didn’t get out, but her daughter Zhu Jiayin stepped out of the car, wearing a bright red cocktail dress, equally attention-grabbing.
When Gu Nuan came out of the bathroom, she saw Zhong Qiaohui standing by the window, gesturing frantically toward her in an exaggerated manner.
Needless to say, Xiao Shuzhu’s husband’s tycoon car instantly outshone all the others.
Both Ou Chunhua and Mrs. Lu watched in astonishment.
"Am I not seeing things?" Mrs. Lu pinched her own arm, yelping in pain, "That’s the Xiao family’s fourth daughter? I heard she married a foreigner, but seemingly not an Arab."
Ou Chunhua said, "Nowadays, even Arab royalty isn’t worth much; oil prices have fallen so low."
"What’s her husband do? How is he so wealthy?" Mrs. Lu asked.
Ou Chunhua truly didn’t know. But in her heart, she was indeed surprised alongside Mrs. Lu. Previously, regardless of whether it was Xiao Shulan or Xiao Shuju, they both flattered her, Ou Chunhua, trying to get close to her. Their husbands seemed wealthy, carrying brand-name bags and attending famous salons.
But really, those truly wealthy keep a low profile, hiding it away in private.
To say, if Xiao family’s fourth daughter’s husband was so wealthy, then why didn’t she seek help from her husband’s family when the Xiao family faced a crisis?
While thinking this, Ou Chunhua saw Gu Nuan walk to the hotel entrance.
"Aunt," Zhu Jiayin walked over to greet Gu Nuan with a bright smile.
Gu Nuan looked over and saw a man and a woman sitting in the flashy luxury car behind her. The woman, needless to say, was Xiao Shuzhu. The man, from his profile, seemed to be a bit older.
