BXBX NOVEL Chapter 207 - 207: Just A Bunch of Old Women
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Thinking of the invitation from Yuan Shuang, her head started hurting.
It’s hard being a woman!
It’s even harder to be the woman of a big shot!
It’s true that there are always unruly people who want to harm me!
Hearing her phone ringing, she picked it up. “Hello.”
“Haven’t you set off yet?” Qiao Yi asked.
Gu Wan’an supported her chin with one hand, casually flipping through a book. Her tone casual and disdainful. “I’m not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?”
“I’m reminding you to wear a formal dress. In this kind of upper-class society, status is the most important thing. Don’t drop the ball at the critical moment. Remember to pick expensive clothes to wear and blind their dog eyes!”
Gu Wan’an;”…”
It wasn’t until seven o’clock that she changed into her gown and went downstairs.
“Second Young Lady, it’s so late. Where are you going?” Tang De asked.
“Yuan Shuang’s banquet.”
“Miss Yuan?” Tang De paused for a second before saying, “I’ll have the driver send you there.”
“Alright.”
The Banquet was held at the Yuan Manor.
At the entrance, there were a lot of luxury cars.
Gu Wan’an 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.
“You’re here.”
Yuan Shuang smiled elegantly as she held Gu Wan’an’s arm intimately.
Gu Wan’an’s body stiffened, resisting the urge to pull her arm out.
“You’re finally here. Everyone’s already here. Go and say hello.”
As they spoke, Gu Wan’an was forcefully brought into the banquet hall.
All the ladies were wearing formal dresses and carrying branded bags in their hands.
Gu Wan’an raised her eyebrows.
Is this a banquet? Those who didn’t know better would think that it was a beauty pageant contest!
“Everyone, quiet down. Let me introduce you.” Yuan Shuang clapped her hands lightly, making a crisp sound. “This is the popular movie star, Miss Shen Ziqing.”
“Shen Ziqing? Never heard of it.”
“I 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.”
Mrs. Jin’s eyes were filled with disdain.
The wealthy ladies around them all turned to look at Gu Wan’an when they heard Mrs. Jin’s words.
“Wild child, what do you mean?” A puzzled voice came from behind her.
Yuan Shuang frowned and reprimanded her unhappily, “Mrs. Jin, please pay attention to the occasion. Don’t spout nonsense.””
“I’m not talking nonsense. She’s not the Shen family’s child. I don’t know which wild man she belongs to. She doesn’t have a share of the Shen family’s assets at all.” Mrs. Jin crossed her arms and said coldly.
Yuan Shuang’s breathing fluctuated.
Shen Ziqing is actually the illegitimate daughter of the Shen family?
Did Gong Mingye know about this?
Gu Wan’an smiled lightly, her expression calm and collected, as if the person being discussed was not her.
Well, it wasn’t her in the first place.
Yuan Shuang restrained her emotions and continued, “Alright, no matter what, Ziqing’s current identity is the Second Young Lady of the Gong Family. She will definitely attend our gatherings often in the future. We’re all friends, so let’s be friendly.”
Gu Wan’an’s eyes were cold. She frowned and looked at Yuan Shuang without saying anything.
Mrs. Jin took a deep breath and said, “Isn’t it just a contractual marriage? The Gong family doesn’t even want to acknowledge her identity. It’s just a fake name.”
“That’s right.”
The surrounding people echoed.
Gu Wan’an silently rolled her eyes.
Just a bunch of old women.. Did they think she wanted to enter such a crappy circle?
