This guy had a rosy complexion and flirtatious eyes; he was clearly a seductive figure.
Seeing Lu Qing staring at him, he nodded and gave a perfectly timed smile:
Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?
Lu Qing remained silent, watching his performance quietly.
"Miss, you look quite young. What's your name? May I get to know you?"
Yu Yi looked cautious, his gaze frequently falling on Lu Qing.
Lu Qing didn't answer, but just leaned back on the sofa, looking at him with a half-smile.
This guy was probably here to hook up with rich women. Someone as young, good-looking, and sweet-talking as him should have no problem hooking up with rich women in their forties or fifties. Unfortunately for him, he had his eye on Lu Qing.
He wants to be with a rich woman and also wants to find a young and beautiful one. This is such a ridiculous scheme.
Seeing that Lu Qing remained silent, he began to lose his composure.
"Miss, can you say something? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Lu Qing chuckled softly a few times, then pointed to a woman in the distance:
"Hey, do you see that lady over there? She's fifty-five, single, owns a jewelry company, and has assets worth over a hundred million. You should go find her."
Yu Yi glanced back, a hint of disgust in her eyes.
Turning his head to face Lu Qing, he feigned a wronged and shocked expression:
"Miss, what do you mean by this? I'm just a waitress!"
“If my mother hadn’t been sick and I hadn’t needed money, I wouldn’t have given up my studies to work here.”
Yu Yi's eyes were brimming with tears, and the corners of his eyes were red. He had truly mastered the meaning of the phrase "I feel sorry for him."
Lu Qing curled her lip; this person was quite the actor.
She was just about to make fun of this guy to relieve her boredom when she saw Gu Xicheng walking towards her, so she kindly reminded him:
"Hey! You'd better stop looking so pitiful and get out of here right now, or you might not be able to leave so easily later."
Seeing that Lu Qing had seen through his thoughts, he not only did not leave, but instead played his cards openly.
"Miss, I know you're from a wealthy family. My mother is sick and needs a lot of money. Please help me. I'm willing to do anything for you."
As he spoke, Yu Yi knelt down in front of Lu Qing and unbuttoned another button, revealing his well-defined chest muscles.
Lu Qing glanced at it, somewhat disgusted.
His cute little muscles aren't even half as good-looking as Gu Xicheng's; where does he get the confidence to seduce her?
Just as Yu Yi's hand was about to touch Lu Qing's calf, Gu Xicheng arrived, grabbed him, and then forcefully pried him off.
Yu Yi screamed in agony, "Let go! Let go of me!"
"What are you going to do to my fiancée?" Gu Xicheng's voice was icy.
Yu Yi did not know Lu Qing, but she did know Gu Xicheng.
Upon hearing this, his face turned pale with fright.
"Mr. Gu, she...she's your fiancée?"
Gu Xicheng shoved Yu Yi away, then looked at Lu Qing:
"What just happened?"
Before Lu Qing could speak, Yu Yi interrupted her, saying:
"Mr. Gu, there's nothing between me and your fiancée. She just asked me to have a drink with her."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
On the day of the charity gala hosted by the Gu family, the eldest son's fiancée forced a male waiter to drink with her. If this got out, it would be a huge scandal!
Lu Qing rolled her eyes speechlessly. This guy really knows how to turn the tables!
Gu Xicheng naturally didn't believe it either. He was about to speak up for Lu Qing when he was stopped.
"It's okay! I'll do it!"
Lu Qing smiled and looked at Yu Yi:
"You're saying I made you drink with me? Do you have any proof?"
Yu Yi's face stiffened. Shouldn't she be loudly refuting this? Why isn't she playing by the rules?
"What...what evidence do you need!" Yu Yi felt a little guilty.
"Without evidence, you're slandering me! Spreading rumors and damaging my reputation is illegal!"
Lu Qing's tone grew increasingly sinister:
Are you still sure you want to stick to what you just said?
“I…” Yu Yi clenched her fists, her body trembling with nervousness.
Lu Qing scoffed lightly, saying disdainfully:
"Turns out you're all bark and no bite, a mere pretty face with no substance. You're so timid, yet you dare to turn around and accuse someone. Aren't you afraid of scaring yourself out of your wits?"
Yu Yi's legs were already weak. Lu Qing looked young and innocent, but she didn't expect him to be so formidable.
Lu Qing gave him a mocking look, then walked to Gu Xicheng's side and loudly addressed the crowd:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please look at Gu Xicheng standing next to me, and then look at this man. If you were me, already having Gu Xicheng, would you even look at him?"
Without a doubt, these two are not comparable at all.
One is the eldest son of the Gu family, who is perfect in looks, physique, and ability; the other is a phoenix man who is only somewhat good-looking but desperately wants to climb the social ladder. Anyone would choose the former!
At this moment, the housekeeper arrived with security guards and dragged Yu Yi away.
"I'm sorry! Young Master, Miss Lu Qing, it was my oversight that I hired such a person to help."
"The person in charge of all the arrangements for the banquet, please come over later and give me an explanation!" Gu Xicheng said coldly.
"Yes, young master!"
Gu Xicheng quickly calmed down and smiled as he addressed the crowd:
"That was just a minor incident, and it's been resolved. The banquet will begin soon, so I hope everyone will not let this affect their mood."
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the Gu family's charity gala. Let's raise a glass together to celebrate tonight's charitable act!"
Gu Xicheng took Lu Qing's hand, raised his glass, and invited everyone to drink together.
This little incident passed quickly.
To prevent Lu Qing from being affected by the rumors, Gu Xicheng held Lu Qing's hand throughout the entire banquet and never let go.
He proved to all the guests that he trusted Lu Qing and that what had just happened would not affect their relationship.
The banquet lasted for nearly three hours, and the donation boxes contained varying amounts of money.
The people who came were all big bosses with assets of over 100 million, so the amount of donations was not small, ranging from tens of millions to at least five million.
After the banquet, Lu Qing counted the checks in the donation box several times.
"There are a total of 98 million! That's a lot of money! It can help so many people!" Lu Qing exclaimed.
Gu Xicheng nodded with a smile:
"Yes! This money could save many lives!"
"Later, the Gu family's charity will donate this money to people in need in different fields. Those who are sick, children who cannot afford to go to school, and scientific research will all receive a sum of money."
Lu Qing: "The Gu family has been doing this kind of thing for a long time, hasn't they!"
Gu Xicheng nodded: "It started when my grandfather made his fortune, but back then we didn't have that much money. We just donated a little bit here and there. Later, when the Gu family grew bigger, we started having charity galas."
"No wonder the Gu family's fortunes are soaring; good people are rewarded!" Lu Qing said with a smile.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Young Master, Ms. Hu Qing, who is in charge of organizing the banquet, has arrived. Would you like to see her?"
Gu Xicheng's expression darkened slightly: "Tell her to wait in the study. I'll be there in a bit."
