Chapter 612: Chapter 699: She Can’t Go Out Wearing a Mask, Can She?
Ye Jin took the opportunity to give her a slight push, "If you can’t ignore him, just go over and say hello. Although you and Xiao Yu have not met many times, he should still have some impression of you."
Gu Liancheng hesitated a bit, "Is it too abrupt to just go over like this..."
Seeing that she did not directly refuse, Ye Jin knew that her efforts were already half successful.
Thinking quickly, she took a box out of her handbag, placed it in Gu Liancheng’s hands, and instructed, "This box contains two jade pendants, specially prepared as gifts for Xiao Yu’s son. If you feel you can’t find a suitable excuse, then take this and give it to Xiao Yu on my behalf." Gu Liancheng looked at Ye Jin, hesitated for a moment, and then firmly gripped the box in her hand.
"Auntie, I’ll go then."
She took a deep breath, straightened her body, and walked towards Shi Yu.
Her steps were gentle, her demeanor elegant, noble as if she were a solitary and proud white swan.
Gu Liancheng really stood out, her tall figure, even amidst a crowd, caught the eye immediately.
"Gu Liancheng is here too?"
Seeing Gu Liancheng appear at the banquet, the group of young gentlemen who were gathered together drinking and making merry all shifted their attention to her.
"Who is she? The name sounds somewhat familiar."
"Gu Liancheng, a top-tier jewelry designer, currently presides in Nanan as the chief, reportedly earning a seven-figure monthly salary, not including bonuses and other income."
"That impressive?"
"Of course, before this she was also known as the number one beauty of Du City, often attending press conferences and gracing the covers of various fashion magazines. She had her moment of fame for a while, and her value kept soaring."
"Oh, I see, no wonder I found the name Gu Liancheng so familiar; she really has quite the background."
"It’s said that her suitors could line up from the east of the city to the west, all of them wealthy and influential people, yet she looks down on all of them; staying single till her mid-twenties without a boyfriend."
"What a pity." A man, stroking his chin, took a glance at Gu Liancheng passing by, immediately showing a predatory look: "Great figure, slim waist, must be amazing in bed. If only I could have her."
The crowd laughed and jeered at his comment, and even started whistling at Gu Liancheng.
Gu Liancheng heard the commotion and looked towards the source of the noise.
Seeing a group of young men winking and laughing raucously at her, she felt a bit disgusted but still nodded and smiled politely, very gracefully.
Undoubtedly, this action scored her more points.
"This woman, she’s truly a stunner! Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also so polite; it makes people want to desecrate her, but they just can’t bring themselves to do it."
"She must be the highlight of the party today, just look around the venue, which woman can compare to her? Whoever stands beside her pales in comparison!"
"Today is supposed to be Young Madam Shi’s home ground; if she steals the spotlight, it feels a bit inappropriate."
"What does that matter? Being beautiful is not her fault; we can’t expect her to wear a mask out, can we?"
"Exactly, exactly..."
Indeed, Gu Liancheng was like a scenic view, always the center of attention wherever she went.
She walked past a corridor in front of a swimming pool, attracting lots of stares, those who knew her praised her to those around them, and those who didn’t know her inquired about her identity.
