Chapter 732 - 735: Slap at the Birthday Banquet 12_1

"Really? Last time at the banquet, Gu Shaocheng gave her that necklace."

"Do you see a necklace around her neck now? I guess it’s been taken back..." Two ladies were whispering to each other. "I saw it with my own eyes at the door that day. Keep your distance. Now, the Gu family doesn’t allow her name to be mentioned - bad luck awaits anyone who dares to. You are seeking death by trying to curry favor with her now."

Every single word they uttered reached Chenxing’s ears. Heat surged across her face. At that moment, she suddenly felt herself as a joke for coming here. Probably everyone here was now treating her as a laughingstock, right?

Glancing at that man, his attention had never once landed on her. His indifference just made her want to escape more. Without caring about her cousin calling her from a distance, Chenxing put down her plate and quickly walked towards the banquet exit.

Gu Shaocheng made a gesture, and one of his subordinates hurried forward, whispering in his ear, "Sir."

"Go see what’s happened over there."

"Yes, sir."

"Brother Gu, you won’t believe it, but Yale’s library director often speaks of you. The chair you love to sit in is always in demand," Ai Wan was increasingly enthusiastic.

Gu Shaocheng raised his eyebrows slightly, servicing her with a reply. "I’m afraid he’s talking about Wuqing. I remember the director always disliked me."

His gaze caught Chenxing, who was heading toward the door from afar. A frown creased his brow as he saw her plunging into a young man’s arms.

The sixteen-year-old boy hadn’t expected someone to bump into him so suddenly. He quickly steadied her by the shoulders and coolly asked, "Miss, are you okay?"

Chenxing shook her head in embarrassment, massaging her own head. Just as she wanted to run off, she heard the laughter of an old man by her ear, "Mr. Gu, congratulations, congratulations."

"Elder Mr. Yan, how come you’re here?" Gu Shaocheng had already moved to their side without her noticing, exchanging greetings with an old man.

Looking up, Chenxing saw the boy release her shoulders and stand calmly behind Elder Mr. Yan.

The boy radiated an aura of royalty. His simple attire could not hide his commanding presence. His captivating face forced Chenxing to take a second glance.

"This is my grandson, Emperor Yan. Yan, this is Gu Shaocheng, the head of the Gu family I often speak of," said Elder Mr. Yan.

"I’ve heard about the prodigy of the Yan family. Despite your young age, you’re already on track to take over your grandfather’s position. As expected, you are exceptional. Elder Mr. Yan, you can now rest easy and relax."

Emperor Yan, the young man, offered his birthday gift with a small nod. Despite his humble words, his demeanor betrayed no trace of submission, "Just a token of my sentiment. Please accept it."

Gu Shaocheng laughed softly to himself, remarking internally that this young master of the Yan Family was no ordinary figure.

He unexpectedly caught sight of Chenxing, her eyes reddened yet staring at Emperor Yan as if she was starstruck. Her eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of her head. Gu Shaocheng immediately felt an inexplicable irritation. He subtly moved to block Chenxing’s view and turned to Elder Mr. Yan of the North American arms industry giant Yan Family, extending a courteous invite, "Elder Mr. Yan, this way, please."

"Mr. Gu, please..."

Suddenly a small hand tugged at his sleeve. Chenxing carefully and intentionally grabbed his arm, whisperingly calling his name in a feeble voice, "Shaocheng."

"Who is this young lady?" Elder Mr. Yan asked smilingly, his face kind and serene. "My grandson unintentionally bumped into her just now. Little girl, I hope you’re not hurt."
