When Zhai Shaolin saw that they almost started arguing, his eyebrows twitched, and his face turned both dark and red.
He, like Dong Shu, felt annoyed and embarrassed. "Gu Jin, I'm sorry, I apologize on their behalf."
Seeing that Zhai Shaolin could behave like that, Gu Jin couldn't stay angry anymore, and his expression softened slightly. "It's alright, young people can't control their temper, they're used to being straightforward."
Don't think he didn't understand Zhai Shaolin's words. On the surface, he was apologizing, but secretly he was protecting An Susu and Duan Jinxun.
So don't say they have bad personalities or tempers.
Upon understanding Gu Jin's words, Zhai Shaolin was somewhat angry. He wanted to retort, but Dong Shu grabbed his arm.
Zhai Wan'er was thoroughly annoyed by their pretentious behavior. "I'm going in. You two can continue your conversation."
She lifted the hem of her silver-white dress, turned around, and stepped onto the red carpet.
She dressed up specially for tonight, just to see Fu Jue at the party.
Completely unaware that Gu Mu and Duan Jinxun almost got into a fight at the door, Gu Qingqing was resting in her seat while Gu En massaged her feet.
"Why don't you stop wearing them? Look at your feet, they're all like this." Gu En felt sorry for her and continued to massage her calves, the speed and force just right to make her feel comfortable.
Ten-centimeter high heels are really not for human beings.
"I should still wear it! It's not like I have to wear it every day. Tonight is the Gu family's 60th anniversary celebration. I can't just think about my own comfort." Having enjoyed the glory and benefits brought by the Gu family, I naturally have to shoulder my own responsibilities.
One cannot be selfish and only think about how comfortable one is. We are not three-year-old children who do not understand. We are adults and must understand human relationships in order to live better in the future.
Gu Qingqing smiled, trying to reassure Gu En.
As the two were talking, they heard footsteps approaching.
"Qingqing, so you're here?" The voice was a bit loud and shrill, attracting the attention of nearby customers.
Gu Qingqing looked up and saw that the woman in front of her was An Susu.
Wearing a dress a shade lighter than red, she exuded a somewhat defiant air.
Although her makeup was light, her eyeliner was drawn quite long and dark, and her bright red lips were also very eye-catching.
"Welcome to the 60th anniversary celebration of the Gu family. Please feel free to enjoy the drinks and snacks on site." Gu Qingqing smiled and showed her most beautiful signature smile, looking so harmless and honest.
Sensing the provocation, An Susu's smile froze, but she stiffly maintained her perfect image. "Alright, I'll eat more. The Gu family is the second most powerful family in the capital, so their desserts are naturally the best and most exquisite. Qingqing, you have to keep me company. It's been so long since I've had a heart-to-heart talk with you."
As she spoke, she sat down in the seat next to Gu Qingqing. That was the seat for Gu Jin and the others; it was not for someone of An Susu's status to sit there.
Gu En's face instantly turned cold, her smile vanished, and her expression became long. "An Susu, did you sit in the wrong seat? Get out of here."
Her behavior was provocative, and he couldn't tolerate it.
Don't say she's still young. She's already in her twenties. How can she act like a three-year-old who doesn't know any better?
"I...I didn't mean to, I was just a little tired from wearing high heels. Third Brother Gu, I'm sorry, I'll leave right away." An Susu jumped up in fright, looking like a little white rabbit being bullied by a big bad wolf.
Watching An Susu's acting become increasingly superb, Gu Qingqing smiled disdainfully and shook her head slightly.
She dared to do this, and she still says she didn't do it on purpose. Does she think she can make up for her mistake by apologizing?
Gu En's face grew increasingly gloomy. He stood up and glared at An Susu. "Who do you think you are? You think you can pretend nothing happened just by saying 'I'm sorry'? Bah!"
Every time An Susu appeared, he felt disgusted.
He even said to his sister that they hadn't had a heart-to-heart talk in a long time, and that they had met this morning.
He should have known better than to let her in; it never ends well.
Seeing An Susu being bullied again, Duan Jinxun's forehead veins bulged, and his phoenix eyes were filled with anger. "You've gone too far! Taking turns bullying Susu, do you think I'm dead?"
Saying the word "death" at such a lively party is certainly malicious.
Gu Qingqing and Gu En could no longer contain themselves and instantly flew into a rage.
Before they could even make a move, An Susu had already put on a smiling face.
"I'm sorry, Qingqing, Third Brother Gu. Jinxun only said the wrong thing because he cares about me too much and feels sorry for me. Please don't hold it against him. I'll leave right away." She couldn't let the Gu family kick her out of the party; she still had things to do.
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. In addition, An Susu acted quickly and pulled Duan Jinxun away, so Gu Qingqing and Gu En couldn't do anything about it.
We can't exactly chase after them and yell at them!
That would be impolite, since An Susu always had a gentle smile, a good temper, and was very polite. Outsiders who didn't know the situation would definitely misunderstand and think that she was being bullied by Gu Qingqing.
So don't fall for it, you must endure it.
It's not too late to deal with An Susu after tonight.
After Zhai Shaolin and Dong Shu came in, An Susu and Duan Jinxun went to drink champagne a short distance away, just in time to miss the scene that almost led to an argument.
"With Duan Jinxun backing her up, she's getting bolder and bolder." Gu En was still red with anger, her eyes blazing as she stared at An Susu, who was standing not far away.
"Forget it, I'll just not see or associate with her anymore. Like this morning, why did you let her in?" Gu Qingqing couldn't help but bring up what happened this morning. She was in a good mood after her morning run, but her mood instantly cooled down when she saw An Susu.
Gu En felt guilty and lowered his head, saying, "She rang the doorbell several times and refused to leave, saying she had something to return to you and needed to see you. I found it annoying, so I let her in."
I should have known better than to do that; it only made me suffer.
"Give me back my things?" Gu Qingqing sneered, her brows furrowing slightly. "She didn't mention exchanging anything with me back then, nor did she give me anything. However, she does owe me a lot of things, but unfortunately, she's already taken them all. They're not even on my body anymore, so I can't get them back even if I wanted to."
It's not like she was the original female lead; she would have killed her off long ago.
It's because they're afraid that if An Susu dies, it will cause this book world to collapse.
After all, the whole story revolves around the two main characters, An Susu and Zhai Shaolin. If something happens to them, the ending won't be a happy one, and the other characters will probably perish as well.
Gu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhai Shaolin and Dong Shu enter.
Dong Shu is a good person; she has sound values and knows how to prioritize the big picture.
But looking at Zhai Shaolin, it seems he's increasingly biased towards An Susu.
As expected, they couldn't escape the typical setup and tropes of the male and female protagonists in the book. No matter how the plot changes, they will still end up together, loving and staying together.
