Gu Chengxi followed at the end. Seeing that Gu Zongyan didn't look back, he quietly slipped back, moved closer to Gu Yuqing, and asked in a low voice:

"Sister, will that person come over today?"

"..." Gu Yuqing was silent for a while, then said, "I think so."

In fact, she even hoped that Chen Ya would not come over.

Today is the first time Chen Ya meets her family. She had hoped that Chen Ya could leave a good impression in front of her family.

Unexpectedly, before the person even arrived, his impression score had already dropped to the lowest point.

What the hell is this?

Now she just hopes that the coming-of-age ceremony will be held quickly, the dance will be over quickly, and everyone will disperse and go home quickly after the dance. It would be best if everyone goes home before Chen Ya comes!

Wu Qiutong said to Gu Yuqing with a bitter face, "Yuqing, shall we go out?"

Gu Yuqing came to her senses, stood up, and said, "You should go out. But you don't have a dance partner, are you trying to pick up a man?"

"No, I want to go out to eat. I... I'm not full." Wu Qiuting said pitifully.

“…”

This best friend is so useless.

…

The manor was brightly lit, the moonlight shone through the clouds, and the ripples and starlight on the lake reflected each other.

Gu Chengxi was the first to enter the dance floor and her dance partner was the prominent young master Ye Xianzhi.

Both of them were dressed up. Ye Xianzhi, with his exaggerated hairstyle and tuxedo, although not tall, looked extraordinary in the middle of the dance floor.

Gu Chengxi, who looked like a princess, looked particularly good standing next to him, and they looked like a perfect match.

Gu Yuqing drank a martini, the lemon on the rim of the glass had a bitter aroma. She suddenly thought about how well Gu Zongyan had planned Gu Chengxi's future.

She had done everything she could to get into the school she attended, and she was placed in the class through connections. I heard that everyone in that class came from a prominent family, and there was no one without a background.

Gu Zongyan has also been acting as a philanthropist in her school, often donating items from time to time.

He even held regular gatherings and salons, inviting Gu Chengxi's classmates to participate, including this coming-of-age ceremony.

The things that Gu Chengxi usually studies, such as horse riding, etiquette, ballroom dancing... are all very aristocratic things. To be a little offensive, they are all meant to cater to certain classes.

Under this elite education, Gu Chengxi was naturally shaped into a perfect lady.

However, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but wonder, is Gu Chengxi really happy?

Judging from the smile on her face now on the dance floor, she seemed to be happy.

She was kept in a cocoon tailor-made for her by Gu Zongyan, and everything she came into contact with was carefully designed by Gu Zongyan, who hoped she would come into contact with it.

Having lived like this since childhood, she should think that this kind of life is normal, right?

Gu Yuqing took a sip of the slightly bitter wine.

After Gu Chengxi finished her dance, the guests applauded and other people also went into the pool to dance.

Gu Yuqing saw Cai Zhenyi holding a woman's hand and entering the dance floor. The woman seemed to be from a noble family. Gu Yuqing seemed to have seen her before, but could not remember her name.

I don’t know how Cai Zhenyi got in touch with her.

Wu Qiutong leaned close to Gu Yuqing's ear and said, "I thought Cai Zhenyi would come over to invite you."

Gu Yuqing sneered twice and said, "Baba came over here, and I rejected him? After so long, he should have understood."

Wu Qiutong shook her head and said, "It just means he's not persistent enough. He doesn't have the patience to keep swinging the hoe."

"That's not the case. He's changed his strategy now," Gu Yuqing crossed her legs. "He thinks that by suppressing Chen Ya and driving away everyone around me, I'll show some favor to him. How is that possible?"

Wu Qiutong showed a worried look: "But if he really did it..."

Gu Yuqing shook her head: "Chen Ya is not so easily defeated."

"You trust him quite a bit." Wu Qiuting habitually stuffed the juice into her mouth.

Gu Yuqing didn't say anything because Yi Yangbing was walking towards them not far away.

The young man approached the two of them, gave Gu Yuqing a gentleman's salute, and said, "I didn't succeed last time. Would you please do me the honor of dancing with me this time?"

"Don't you have a dance partner?" Gu Yuqing glanced at the eighteen-tier star brought by Yi Yangbing not far away.

At this moment, the woman was sitting there sulking, her eyes constantly glancing over here.

Yi Yangbing smiled and said, "She can wait. She didn't say she had to dance with the person she brought here."

Gu Yuqing shook her head and said, "Please dance with the person you brought here. I have a dance partner, and he will be here soon."

"Chen Ya?" Yi Yangbing asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh, don't you know that?"

Yi Yangbing's smile gradually turned ironic, and he said:

"It seems that Miss Gu has made up her mind to commit herself to a Phoenix man who hasn't even graduated from junior high school?"

Yi Yangbing cursed without using any curse words, and Wu Qiuting, who was standing beside him, was annoyed. She held the plate and ate the shrimp meat in big mouthfuls, but she didn't know how to refute.

Gu Yuqing said, "Don't you know that a hero is not judged by his origin?"

Yi Yangbing spread his hands and said with a smile: "But is he a hero? Haha!"

At this moment, exclamations and sighs were heard from behind the crowd, and many people were saying something.

Yi Yangbing also looked over there, and then his expression froze on his face. Gu Yuqing and Wu Qiuting noticed something was wrong and turned around.

Not far away, I saw a person walking towards me with big strides across the grass, his clothes fluttering in the air.

The place this person just passed by was where some of the "female relatives" gathered.
