Chapter 197 Entertainment
Zhuang Siyi looked at her with disbelief: "But I heard that you are pursuing Mr. Shen recently?"
Gu Zhiyuan said calmly, "Where did you hear that rumor that I would pursue him?"
A girl in a white dress next to Zhuang Siyi said, "My cousin works at Shen's Group. She said you often go to the company and go in and out with President Shen!"
Gu Zhiyuan shrugged: "So what?"
Zhuang Siyi frowned: "You admitted it, and you said you don't like him!"
Gu Zhiyuan: "Is this what you call love? I'm so bored, can't I find some entertainment?"
She suddenly leaned in closer and counterattacked: "I also heard that you have been very close to a little celebrity recently. Could it be that you like him too?"
Zhuang Siyi: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Seeing her reaction, Gu Zhiyuan was amused: "If his fans knew the relationship between their brother and you, who would be scolded?"
"Don't try to be so rude!" Zhuang Siyi said angrily. "Your family is looking for a blind date for you. I thought it was a marriage alliance with the Shen family. It seems you are not worthy of it!"
Gu Zhiyuan frowned. Who was scouting for her? Could it be her aunt, still harboring evil intentions? She would have to ask when she got home.
"So you're so afraid of not getting married?" Zhuang Siyi looked at her with a gloating look. "That's right. You haven't been in this circle for too long. I'm afraid no one would be willing to marry you."
Gu Zhiyuan was too lazy to argue with her about these trivial matters: "All you talk about all day is getting married. Did the Zhuang family give birth to a daughter like you just to get married?"
"If this happened in ancient times, you would have been sent to the palace to be a concubine. But your current behavior is almost the same."
"Tonight's a charity dinner. If people knew you and I were arguing here, who would get scolded when we get home? If you tarnish your image as a wealthy socialite, how could you possibly marry into a good family?"
"You..." Zhuang Siyi's face turned blue and red.
"What are you talking about? Take your followers and go, buy a few more pieces at the auction and show off. It's better than talking nonsense to me here!"
"I don't know what you're competing with me for every day. If you have the skills you have, go make some friends with some noble ladies, maybe you can get what you want! You're really as stupid as a pig!"
"Gu Zhiyuan, don't go too far!"
"I don't want to bother with you."
After saying this, Gu Zhiyuan turned around and left. She was too lazy to waste words with her.
She was thirsty after talking so much, so she took a sip of juice and prepared to go out for some fresh air. However, she didn't expect to run into Zhou Qingling just after taking a few steps.
She was wearing a red dress and had wavy hair. She took a sip of the wine beside her and said with a charming smile, "Little sister, you have a good eloquence~"
Gu Zhiyuan didn't expect to meet her here, but her words didn't sound like a pun, but rather a teasing, which confused her.
However, she did not forget that Zhou Qingling and Shen Xubai had a close relationship. Later, she even forgot to ask what their relationship was. She must ask Shen Xubai later.
"Sister Zhou is here too, what a coincidence."
"That's right," Zhou Qingling said with a smile, "It's fate."
"Why isn't Mr. Shen with you?"
Before Gu Zhiyuan could answer, the host's voice suddenly came from the stage, announcing that the auction was about to begin.
Gu Zhiyuan nodded at her, stood up and went to find his seat.
However, after most people were seated, Gu Zhiyuan glanced at Chen Xubai's seat. Where was he?
Luo Yan is not here either.
The first auction item was already being displayed on the stage, but Shen Xubai still hadn't appeared.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Shen Xubai: [Where have you been? The auction has already started.]
Gu Zhiyuan stared at her phone. Shen Xubai hadn't replied to her message.
She frowned in confusion. What was going on?
She sent another message to Luo Yan.
[Ms. Gu, Mr. Shen left early due to something]
After seeing the news, Gu Zhiyuan didn't think much about it, thinking that he had something urgent to do.
She put away her phone and looked at the collection intently.
Finally, I bought a bracelet for Gu's mother and a set of tea sets to give to Shen Xubai.
It was already very late when the auction ended. After Gu Zhiyuan came out, she saw Shen Xubai's car. She walked forward, but only Luo Yan was there.
"Is Shen Xubai still busy?" she asked.
Luo Yan opened the car door for her and said respectfully, "I don't know about this either. Mr. Chen just said he had something to do and left first, so he asked me to take you back."
"You don't know either?"
Luo Yan shook his head.
Shen Xubai's face looked very bad at the time, his aura was cold and stern, and he felt very oppressive. He didn't dare to ask more questions, nor was he sure what had gone wrong.
After Luo Yan sent Gu Zhiyuan home, she sent another message to Shen Xubai, but still received no reply.
She went straight to his house and saw that the lights in the villa were on. She rang the doorbell, but no one opened the door.
Gu Zhiyuan stood at the door, full of questions.
You were clearly at home, so why didn't you reply to her message or open the door for her?
