Chapter 367 Gao Jiajia
Gu Qing didn't avoid socializing at the party; on the contrary, she was very busy, reconnecting with old friends and making new connections.
At the same time, she secretly inquired with people from the Empire about the doubts surrounding Yar's earlier words. Qi Bo followed beside her, smiling and responding politely.
The two of them vaguely confirmed their suspicions: these people had come for their martial arts techniques.
Gu Qing was a little angry and was about to complain to Lou Xiaoyu. The main problem was that Lou Xiaoyu and Qi Bai would chime in, but Yan Anli was the kind of person who would listen to you and let him chime in.
How should I put it? You might say several sentences before he finally manages to organize his thoughts for his first reply. If you change the subject quickly, the two of you might end up talking at cross purposes.
As he turned around, there was a sudden, forceful collision. He stumbled, and the cup in his hand flew out of his hand.
Even the gold tassels stung my face.
Luckily, Qi Bo caught her before she fell, otherwise she might have landed on the broken glass. However, the person who bumped into her spilled the entire glass of liquid on her clothes.
Gu Qing was furious. No one would believe that the force was unintentional. When she turned around, she saw Gao Jiajia, who was holding up her skirt with one hand and covering her chest with the other, pretending to be frightened.
But the blatant provocation in her eyes proved that, just as Gu Qing had suspected, she was doing it on purpose.
"Gao Jiajia, as a member of the Federal Purifiers, I must remind you that your behavior is extremely ill-mannered."
Since Gu Qing entered this banquet hall, her gaze has never left me, whether openly or secretly. Do you really think your actions just now were so discreet?
However, I have to admire you; while your IQ may be low, your action-oriented nature is quite strong. I don't know whether this is a success or a failure of Ms. Gao Yan's teaching.
Gu Qing deliberately spoke with disdain, her words dripping with sarcasm, her eyes filled with contempt, and the subtle, almost imperceptible, attention from those around her. This made her want to tear Gu Qing apart.
She just couldn't stand this woman. Like her, she was born from an egg, but she was spoiled by her father since childhood. Even after her father passed away, he left her a large inheritance and a man from a distinguished family.
Now, thanks to good luck, he has risen to B-level and become one of the top eligible bachelors on the interstellar rankings, especially his half-brother who is incredibly handsome.
He used to never give her a second glance, but now he treats this woman with utmost care.
But I can only rely on her. My current achievements have garnered my mother's attention, and she hopes that I can also soar to great heights like her.
She now lives each day in a state of excitement, depression, and fear. She wants to grow up quickly so that she can awaken her Purifier powers and become a Star of the Interstellar Sphere.
She was also afraid that if she grew up too soon and failed to awaken her powers or level up successfully, she would be abandoned by her mother and fiancés.
From then on, they lived a mediocre or impoverished life.
So when her mother complained about Gu Qing at home, she naturally sided with her mother and resented the woman.
Originally, when Gu Qing was pregnant, she wanted to kick the other woman in the stomach, but who knew that this woman would be so careful in coming and going, surrounded by 800 people.
She later arranged an accident, but the woman stopped going to school.
So when she heard others say that the banquet was almost over, and saw her smiling and cheerful appearance, she couldn't help herself.
But what did that woman mean by what she just said? Was she looking down on her? How dare a lowly person like her?
"What's going on?" Gao Yan was called over by Gao Jiajia's follower.
After all, Gu Qing's aura was quite intimidating at the time, and given the age difference, he was clearly at a disadvantage in a fight, so that guy cleverly went to find Ms. Gao.
Once everyone had gathered, Lou Xiaoyu and Yan Anli also came over.
"What's wrong with Qingqing?" Lou Xiaoyu noticed her disheveled state at a glance.
Gu Qing took the handkerchief and dabbed at the wine stains on her clothes. "She bumped into me from behind."
Lou Xiaoyu looked Gu Qing up and down. "Your physical strength has reached level three in your martial arts training. How much force did someone have to use to knock you like this?"
"Lou Xiaoyu." Gao Yan frowned and scolded him for his merciless words, then glared at her daughter, making Gao Jiajia tremble with fear.
"Apologize!" The tone was cold.
Gao Jiajia took two steps forward. "Yes, I'm sorry!"
"Louder!" Gao Yan's low shout startled Gu Qing.
Gao Jiajia burst into tears, but she did obediently raise her voice to apologize.
