☆、Counterattack
Gu Li immediately noticed that her conservative and elegant dress was exactly the same as Gu Qingqing's. However, she wasn't scared at all. She just felt very strange. Gu Qingqing must be a worm in her stomach, deliberately making things difficult for her!
Chu Yaofeng was slightly taken aback, then laughed. Thinking about the effeminate manner of the woman beside him, he wasn't worried at all that she would suffer a loss.
She's so smart, I'm sure she can handle the crisis on her own without me having to do anything. So, he doesn't intend to help, remaining silent and waiting for the show to unfold.
Seeing that he remained calm, Gu Li knew she couldn't count on him. Fine, she'd teach Gu Qingqing a life lesson and show her what it means to be impressed by someone after just three days.
She deliberately tightened her grip on the man's arm and leaned closer to him; this action was clearly a show of defiance.
Gu Qingqing stood on the stairs watching their intimate behavior, her expression changing rapidly. Her hands gripping the handrail dug several deep nail marks into the wooden railing. How could someone as proud and arrogant as her not see that the woman was taunting her?
What right does a green tea bitch who rose to power through men's underhanded tactics have to provoke her, the number one heiress in City B? Today, she'll teach her a lesson she won't forget.
Thinking of this, she strode over with an imposing aura, stopping in front of the two of them. With her chin held high and fists clenched, she glared arrogantly at Gu Li, sneering, "I asked the boutique about this dress, and they said there's only one in City B, and it's on me right now." She then struck a few poses, smugly pleased with herself. "You shameless woman who wears counterfeit goods, cheap knock-offs! Don't you know who you are? This isn't a place for you. My house doesn't welcome green tea bitches. Please get out."
The entire audience erupted in another uproar.
"It's hilarious! They're broke but pretending to be rich. They're shameless."
"Exactly, exactly. So, a black fungus is just a black fungus. She thinks that wearing the same dragon robe makes her a prince. I doubt her mother even taught her how to write the word 'shame'?"
"They say like mother, like daughter. Maybe her mother is a black-hearted woman, a green-tea bitch, haha."
"hehe……"
…………
Gu Li stood up straight. She didn't care what others thought of her, but she would never allow anyone to insult her mother.
She looked at the two gossiping women with an innocent smile.
One was in red and the other in green; they were plain-looking and had no distinguishing features. She had to look at them several times before she finally remembered their faces.
We'll deal with them later; first, we need to deal with that unruly shrew, Gu Qingqing.
Chu Yaofeng clearly felt her hand tighten around his arm. He was worried and considering whether to help her out of the predicament when he saw a confident smile spread across her lips.
Chu Yaofeng's worry turned to joy, and a sharp voice in his heart shouted, "Go for it, my girl!"
“Miss Gu, it seems you have some misunderstanding about me.” As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent again, and Gu Qingqing’s victorious smile froze.
"This dress I'm wearing was a gift from President Chu," Gu Li said, her eyes showing a barely perceptible nervousness as she looked at Chu Yaofeng. How could she not be nervous? If Chu Yaofeng didn't help her, she would be even more embarrassed than before.
Would he help her? Gu Li wondered uncertainly... To overwhelm Gu Qingqing with her aura, she could only resort to this desperate measure.
Gu Qingqing's face turned pale instantly. She looked at Chu Yaofeng with a questioning gaze, while a prayerful voice screamed sharply in her heart.
Don't admit it, don't admit it, Yaofeng, don't admit it...
Chapter 53, Slap
"Yes." Chu Yaofeng not only admitted it, but his voice was full of energy, and the echo could be heard for three days. "This dress was flown back from Italy yesterday. The stylist even told me that it was one of a kind. If I had known it was such a cheap street item, I would never have let my woman wear it."
My woman...
The four words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, shocking the entire audience.
Chu Yaofeng spoke these words with great force, enunciating each word clearly, as if they were being spat out from between his teeth.
"...This is impossible, this isn't real, this isn't real..." Gu Qingqing seemed unable to bear the blow and went mad, her eyes unfocused, tears streaming down her face, muttering incoherently.
Gu Li pinched Chu Yaofeng's arm hard, gritting her teeth as she asked, "What nonsense are you spouting? Who's your woman?" Damn it, they agreed to call it even, but he still managed to outmaneuver her. Her reputation! And she didn't want to become public enemy number one!
Chu Yaofeng, enduring the pain in his arm, suddenly laughed, "What, is being my woman a disservice to you? Do you know how many people dream of being my woman? You are the first one I have acknowledged. You should feel honored."
"Honorable? I don't think so. Having a philandering boyfriend would only disgust me," Gu Li said angrily.
"You despise me?" Chu Yaofeng's face instantly darkened.
Seeing this, Gu Li immediately backed down, "I wouldn't dare."
"Good girl, smart girl." Chu Yaofeng was in a good mood and leaned down to kiss her cheek.
Gu Li was in tears. Damn it, she was afraid he would get angry and take advantage of her in front of so many people, so she pretended to be sycophantic. She never expected that this bastard would tease her whether he was angry or happy. He was utterly shameless.
Gu Li glared at him angrily, while Chu Yaofeng looked at her with a playful smile. To onlookers, their subtle rivalry appeared as that of a handsome man and a beautiful woman, deeply in love and affectionate.
Gu Qingqing watched as the two people, who completely ignored her, flaunted their affection in front of her. Her eyes, which had been filled with tears and made her look somewhat pitiful, instantly turned vicious like sharp swords. Her beautiful face was twisted beyond recognition, and her nails, painted with red nail polish, seemed to be digging into her heart. Her vicious eyes flashed with the pleasure of revenge.
Today's banquet was something she insisted on Gu Dahai organize, with the aim of using it as an excuse to announce to everyone that she was Chu Yaofeng's real girlfriend. Who knew that a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear and steal the man who should have been hers? How could she accept this?
She was indignant. Gu Qingqing had a beautiful face, a great figure, and a powerful background. She was a rich, beautiful, and successful woman, yet she lost to a slut.
This was the most humiliating and shameful thing she had ever experienced in her twenty-four years of life.
She has already become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes, and she is not afraid to add more shame to her reputation.
So, she angrily stepped forward, grabbed Gu Li's arm, turned her around to face her, and slapped her hard across the face.
"Qingqing, stop..." Gu Ziqian, who was helping Gu Dahai downstairs, happened to see this scene and shouted in a hurry, but it was too late.
Gu Qingqing channeled all her grief and anger into strength. Before her hand even touched Gu Li's face, she felt a strong wind brush against her cheek, icy cold and piercing, making her bony membranes vibrate.
