The Gu family estate is quite large, located in the south of the city.
The courtyard house is a retro-style garden building, and it gives people a pretty good feeling.
Nanzhi wore a dark green dress with a retro feel. Her hair was styled in soft curls and styled up by the hairdresser, standing loosely behind her head with a few stray strands hanging by her ears, adorned with a small pearl hair clip.
She has a perfect appearance, but she's been made to look like she's a 12 out of 10.
Shen Xingmian was wearing a coffee-colored plaid fitted suit, and her hair had been simply styled, giving her a more casual look than usual.
Nan Zhi placed her hand on Shen Xingmian's arm and whispered:
"Look how many women have their eyes glued to you."
Shen Xingmian looked down at her gently, then glanced around, "Quite a few others are also paying attention to you."
I suddenly regret dressing Nanzhi up like this; she's too eye-catching.
Without making a sound, he gave a sharp, sweeping glance around, and the gazes that were staring at them instantly disappeared.
Nanzhi: "..."
Inside the Gu residence, there is a special banquet hall with an exceptionally large capacity.
The room was brightly lit and had nearly a hundred round tables set up.
Nanzhi sighed inwardly, thinking that such an occasion deserved such attention.
It's likely that every family in the capital with even a little prestige has been invited to a banquet by the Gu family.
Nanzhi and her companion arrived rather late, so many people were already seated at the round table.
Some people were catching up and chatting together, with men and women clearly separated at the table; some tables were all men, and some were all women.
"Zhizhi, you're here too? Youyou and I thought you weren't coming."
Qin Xi'er suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said something.
Seeing that she was also there, Nan Zhi said to Shen Xingmian:
"I'll do it with Xi'er and the others. You can go do whatever you need to do, don't worry about me."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xingmian nodded slightly to Qin Xier before looking at Nan Zhi, "Call me if you need anything."
He bent down and kissed her forehead before leaving.
Nanzhi: "..."
Qin Xi'er stared wide-eyed at Shen Xingmian's departing figure in disbelief, then turned to stare at Nan Zhi. Nan Zhi felt a little shy under her gaze, and was annoyed that Shen Xingmian didn't know how to read the situation.
So I gave an awkward laugh:
"Hehe, where's Youyou? Let's go find her."
He held Qin Xi'er tightly, afraid she would ask too many questions.
Qin Xier pointed in Lin Youyou's direction, "I went to the restroom, and Youyou is still sitting there."
After saying that, she led Nanzhi to the direction where Lin Youyou was sitting.
Lin Youyou was the only one there for the time being.
Seeing Nan Zhi arrive, Lin Youyou's eyes lit up, and she stood up. "Zhizhi, you're here too?"
Nan Zhi nodded with a smile, "I came with Shen Xingmian."
Qin Xier and Nan Zhi sat down one after the other.
"Youyou, you have no idea how gentle Mr. Shen was to Zhizhi just now. Let me tell you..."
He then leaned close to Lin Youyou's ear.
Finally, the two looked at Nanzhi with ambiguous expressions.
Nanzhi: "..."
Lin Youyou wrinkled her nose and said resentfully:
"Poor us single dogs, we deserve to be tortured."
Qin Xi'er nodded in agreement, "Sigh, so we should stay away from Zhizhi and her boyfriend from now on..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped, a sly glint in his eyes:
"Wait a minute, it should be fiancé."
After the engagement, Nan Zhi told Qin Xi'er and Lin Youyou about it during a chat.
Lin Youyou smiled jokingly, "Yes, I really didn't expect Nanzhi to get engaged so quickly."
Nanzhi: "..."
Before I could even speak, I heard a soft laugh behind me, the voice affected and pretentious.
"Nan, my junior, got engaged?"
The smiles vanished from the three faces instantly, replaced by stiffness.
Lian Chuchu is truly everywhere.
"You don't mind if we sit here, do you?"
Lian Chuchu smiled gently and asked a question, but without waiting for the three to answer, she sat down directly opposite Nan Zhi and the others.
Nan Zhi was stunned when she saw Lian Chuchu surrounded in the middle.
Lian Chuchu must be wearing gold today, as if she's surrounded by light.
Nanzhi glanced at her attire; the dress was a white, floor-length gown studded with rhinestones, clearly quite valuable.
Her hair was styled, with two small braids on each side tied together at the back of her head, while the rest of her hair was left to fall naturally.
The first impression she gives is one of purity. She wears a silver beaded flower with diamonds in her hair and diamond tassel earrings.
She was wearing a sparkling necklace around her neck.
It's no exaggeration to say that she wears gold on her body.
Aside from Li Weiwei, the others sitting around Lian Chuchu were all girls Nan Zhi didn't recognize.
"After Lian Chuchu was recognized by the Lian family, she made many friends among the young ladies from wealthy and powerful families. These were all brainless fans attracted to her."
Lin Youyou whispered in Nanzhi's ear.
These young ladies clearly come from good families, but they can't compare to the Lian family.
Seeing that Lian Chuchu was gentle and approachable, they all liked to gather around her.
Lian Chuchu, however, loved the feeling of being the center of attention.
Li Weiwei was not next to Lian Chuchu at this moment, but several people away.
She showed no resentment or anger. Her background was not as good as these girls', and for Chu Chu's sake, it was indeed not appropriate for her to push forward, as it would only make things difficult for her.
