On his way to buy a gift for Lu Huan, Gu Zhendong's headache returned.
He rubbed his temples, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and talked to the system, Xiao Hao.
—What is today's task?
——……
The cold, icy voice didn't appear in his mind for a long time, and Gu Zhendong frowned. Ever since this damn system was upgraded, it's become more and more unreliable.
He hasn't shown up all day, let alone assigned any tasks.
With a displeased expression on his face, Kong Xun, sitting in the front, glanced at Gu Zhendong's face in the rearview mirror and asked worriedly, "Mr. Gu, do you need any medicine?"
After leaving the venue, Gu Zhendong's expression remained rather unpleasant.
Kong Xun was not only Gu Zhendong's secretary at work, but also his assistant in life, caring about his boss's health and reminding him to take his medicine on time.
The man suddenly opened his eyes, his dark gaze fixed on the scenery outside the car window, and uttered two words: "No need!"
All he needs to do is see Lu Huan as soon as possible!
Kong Xun moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but after meeting Gu Zhendong's gaze, he wisely shut his mouth.
Since President Gu woke up from his coma last time, he has changed a lot.
I'd rather endure a headache than take medicine.
In Kong Xun's view, Gu Zhendong had already given up on himself.
Gu Zhendong has had this strange illness for almost twenty years. The cause of the illness cannot be found, and it cannot be cured. It has been dragging on and on for so many years.
His unwillingness to take medication means that he has given up on treatment.
There was a few seconds of silence in the carriage before Gu Zhendong's voice came from behind, "How much longer until we arrive?"
Kong Xun glanced at the navigation; they were still a few kilometers from their destination. "We'll be there in a few minutes."
Gu Zhendong stopped talking, enduring the uncomfortable pain, and leaned back to rest.
Gu Zhendong is a low-key person, and when he entered the venue, many people cast curious glances at him.
Most people don't know him, but some have seen Gu Zhendong.
Lu Zhong was surprised to hear that Gu Zhendong had arrived, and his expression turned serious. "You're not kidding?"
The secretary dared not joke and whispered, "President Gu is right at the door!"
Looking in the direction the secretary was pointing, Gu Zhendong had just come in from the door.
It really is him!
Lu Zhong quickly excused himself to the person beside him and hurried over to Gu Zhendong.
Lu Zhong and Gu Zhendong had business dealings, but their relationship was not deep.
When he sent the invitation, he did so out of politeness, never expecting that Gu Zhendong would attend.
It's worth noting that Gu Zhendong didn't even show up for the Ming family patriarch's 70th birthday celebration a while ago.
If Gu Zhendong sent the gift through his secretary, it would be enough to shock him, showing that he held a certain position in Gu Zhendong's eyes, let alone the fact that Gu Zhendong himself came in person.
Lu Zhong hurriedly went to greet him, smiling with a hint of flattery, and said, "President Gu."
Gu Zhendong glanced at Lu Zhong in front of him, noticing the unintentional resemblance between him and Lu Huan, and nodded indifferently, "President Lu."
After exchanging polite greetings, Lu Zhong quickly invited him inside.
Gu Zhendong didn't see Lu Huan next to Lu Zhong. He frowned and wanted to ask where Lu Huan was, but then felt that he would be too abrupt.
They could only endure the discomfort as they followed Lu Zhong into the main hall.
The word gradually spread among the people around, and it turned out that the handsome man who suddenly appeared was the legendary Gu Zhendong.
I had long heard that the head of the Gu family was in poor health, bedridden for many years, and his face had long since withered from illness.
Looking at him now, Gu Zhendong is clearly an extremely handsome man.
He was even a few points better looking than Chu Jun.
In an instant, the women in the hall all turned their attention to Gu Zhendong.
Gu Zhendong rarely appears in places like this, so he naturally doesn't like the feeling of being the center of attention.
He looked somewhat displeased, but he never left.
Kong Xun, who was standing next to him, secretly observed Gu Zhendong's expression. He didn't quite understand why Gu Zhendong, who clearly didn't like attending such occasions, still came.
Suddenly, the man's dark eyes turned sinister, and a chill emanated from him, making Kong Xun shiver.
What happened this time?
Following Gu Zhendong's gaze, one could see that standing not far away was Lu Huan... and a man.
Suddenly everything became clear!
Mr. Gu doesn't like attending these kinds of occasions, but this is Miss Lu Huan's birthday party, so of course he has to come in order to please her.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have made a special trip to buy such an expensive gift.
There was quite a commotion at the door, and Chu Jun followed everyone's gaze.
His gaze shifted, revealing an unexpected surprise.
Gu Zhendong never participates in private activities, so why is he here tonight?
The next second, his gaze fell on Lu Huan beside him.
Clearly, Lu Huan also spotted Gu Zhendong at a glance, her bright eyes filled with joy.
The expression on his face was completely different from when he saw himself.
Lu Huan was surprised that Gu Zhendong would arrive so early. She couldn't wait to go over to him, but smiled apologetically at Chu Jun and the others, "I have something to do, so I'll leave for a bit."
Her voice was filled with barely suppressed joy as she lifted her skirt with one hand and walked towards Gu Zhendong.
Chu Han immediately recognized Gu Zhendong as the man Lu Huan had fallen in love with at first sight, and couldn't stop him even if she wanted to.
What a guy who values women more than friends!
Chu Han glared angrily at her good-for-nothing brother and complained, "Brother, why didn't you stop Lu Huan!"
Chu Jun: "..."
Ye Sangsang's gaze also fell on Gu Zhendong. She had just entered the S City circle and didn't know many people around her, let alone who Gu Zhendong was.
Gu Zhendong's appearance was a pleasant surprise, and Ye Sangsang was full of curiosity.
What is the identity of this Gu Zhendong that Lu Huan met, and why is she so excited and happy?
Lu Huan took small steps and walked over, calling Lu Zhong "Dad" in front of everyone, then looked up and playfully raised an eyebrow at Gu Zhendong.
Lu Huan has always been lively, which Lu Zhong is used to.
Gu Zhendong's temperament was unpredictable, and Lu Huan's liveliness might displease him. Lu Zhong scolded in a low voice, "How old are you? Why are you still so reckless?"
Lu Huan smiled and said coquettishly, "I know, I won't run away next time!"
As soon as Lu Huan spoke, Gu Zhendong's discomfort subsided considerably, and his furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
He pretended not to recognize Lu Huan and asked in a low voice, "And who is this?"
Lu Zhong quickly introduced her to Gu Zhendong: "This is my eldest daughter, Lu Huan."
"Huanhuan, quickly call him President Gu."
Lu Huan obediently called him "President Gu" in a sweet and charming tone.
Having met so many times, Lu Huan always called him Mr. Gu. This time, however, he called him President Gu, which gave her a different feeling, like a spring breeze brushing against her heart, making her heart feel tingly and numb.
A faint smile curved her pursed lips, and the gloom in her eyes faded. "Miss Lu."
Kong Xun was completely dumbfounded. If we're talking about who's more impressive, then Lu Huan is definitely the most impressive.
The moment President Gu saw her, his headache vanished as if nothing had happened; his brows straightened and his expression immediately softened.
But why are these two pretending not to know each other? What kind of new game is this?
Never mind, he's just a secretary, no need for me to know.
At this moment, Ye Sangsang also came over and called Lu Zhong "Dad".
After introducing his eldest daughter, Lu Zhong couldn't leave out his younger daughter, so he said, "President Gu, this is my younger daughter, Sang Sang."
Ye Sangsang smiled and extended her hand, "Hello, Mr. Gu!"
Gu Zhendong doesn't like physical contact with people, so naturally he wouldn't shake hands with Ye Sangsang.
His gaze swept indifferently across her face before he asked, "I heard that you only have one daughter, Mr. Lu. When did you gain another one?"
Lu Zhong's story was exactly the same as Lu Huan's: they were separated from their biological sisters when they were young and had only recently been found.
"It just so happens that Sangsang and Huanhuan share the same birthday, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to reveal Sangsang's identity to the public."
Gu Zhendong casually replied, "I see."
Deep down, she didn't believe Lu Zhong's explanation at all. If the two were really sisters, how could they not look alike at all?
Gu Zhendong disliked crowded places, so Lu Zhong quickly sent someone to take Gu Zhendong to the lounge.
Before leaving, he glanced at Lu Huan, seemingly casually.
The onlookers were all extremely surprised.
Firstly, it was due to the change in Lu Huan's appearance, and secondly, the Lu family had gained a second young lady.
When did Lu Huan become so beautiful?
In the past, when she attended various banquets and events, she would dress up in the most extravagant way possible, as if she wanted to wear all kinds of jewelry on her body.
Today, Lu Huan wore an avocado green dress that accentuated her fair and delicate skin, and she wore no jewelry whatsoever.
But this outfit seemed tailor-made for her, and she was in no way inferior to anyone else present.
As for the suddenly appearing second young lady of the Lu family, who is said to be Lu Huan's biological sister, the two are completely different.
Lu Sangsang looks remarkably like Mrs. Lu; she is clearly the true heiress of the Lu family, and it seems Lu Huan is a fake heiress.
Those present were all perceptive enough to understand, and while they outwardly accepted Lu Zhong's words, they secretly began to discuss Lu Huan's identity.
Lu Huan had made enemies with many rich young ladies in her early years, and when she suddenly became a fake rich lady who appeared out of nowhere, she was naturally ridiculed by many people.
In order to introduce Ye Sangsang to other people, Lu Zhong and his wife took them with them and introduced them to everyone they met.
Lu Zhong finding his biological daughter was naturally a joyous occasion, and everyone around him offered their congratulations and praised Ye Sangsang for her beauty.
Ye Sangsang exchanged polite greetings with a proper smile on her face.
Upon hearing this, Lu Huan immediately felt admiration for Ye Sangsang.
Unlike her, whose legs couldn't take it after standing in high heels for only a short while.
Not only that, but he kept smiling so much that his cheeks almost got stiff from smiling.
I really don't understand why Ye Sangsang was introduced; why was she included?
Does this mean that she, as a supporting actress, is destined to be a foil to highlight the female lead?
I am so pathetic!
Lu Huan couldn't take it anymore, so she whispered in Guo Yi's ear and made an excuse to go to the restroom.
Guo Yi was busy chatting with the other party's wife when she waved her hand and said, "Go quickly and come back quickly."
Just as Lu Huan was about to turn and leave, her arm was suddenly grabbed. She met Ye Sangsang's smile. "Sister, I'll go with you."
The bathroom was just an excuse for Lu Huan.
She just felt it was too boring inside and came out for some fresh air.
On the way back, she passed a lounge, and as soon as she saw the sofa, her legs wouldn't move.
"You go back first, my foot hurts, I'll rest here for a bit."
I plopped down on the soft sofa, finally free from high heels. The soreness in my feet vanished instantly, and I felt completely comfortable.
Feeling so comfortable, she had no desire to stand up again and put on those awful high heels.
Ye Sangsang nodded and quickly walked inside.
Lu Huan wanted to catch her breath outside and send a message to Gu Zhendong to ask which lounge he was in so she could go find him.
The message had barely been sent when someone came over.
Lu Huan looked at the several girls who walked over with unfamiliar expressions.
The other party, however, seemed to know her very well, and none of them had a very pleasant expression.
It goes without saying that the original owner must have had a feud with them.
This is so unlucky! I just randomly found a place to rest and ran into my enemy.
Lu Huan didn't want to pay any attention, but the other party took the initiative to come to her door and mock her, "Oh ho, isn't this the young lady of the Lu family? What are you doing hiding here?"
"What rich heiress? She's a fake! The real rich heiress is named Lu Sangsang!"
"..."
They talked back and forth like they were performing a comedy routine, and Lu Huan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Everyone was clearly mocking her, but Lu Huan didn't get angry. Seeing this, several girls said, "What's so funny!"
"Your crosstalk performance was pretty good. Why don't you consider joining the crosstalk club? I guarantee your tickets will sell out!"
Originally, he intended to mock Lu Huan, but unexpectedly, he was mocked instead.
The girls immediately turned hostile, "Lu Huan, you're not a daughter of the Lu family, what gives you the right to be so arrogant!"
The original owner used to bully them a lot because of her status as the daughter of the Lu family. She is still so arrogant now and deserves to be taught a lesson.
"Please, I was clearly praising your crosstalk performance!"
Lu Huan felt completely innocent; how had she been arrogant?
If this counts as arrogance, then she accepts it!
I just wanted to find a place to rest, but I didn't expect there to be more trouble.
Forget it, she'd better go find Gu Zhendong instead.
Lu Huan was too lazy to argue with them, so she didn't even give them a glance and got up to leave.
These girls weren't about to let her leave so easily; they blocked her path, saying, "You're just going to leave like that!"
Lu Huan lifted her eyelids to look at them, her gaze icy as she stared at them. "Otherwise, what do you want to do? Fight?"
The girls on the other side exchanged glances, their unspoken meaning clear.
Lu Huan had never been in a fight, but he had practiced a little self-defense before.
She could easily handle those few women; the only problem was that her dress might be ruined.
Just as Lu Huan was about to make a move, a voice came from not far away, "What are you doing!"
Everyone: Besides being the daughter of the Lu family, what else do you have to be so arrogant about!
Gu Zhendong (with a gloomy look): Mrs. Gu, is this enough?
Lu Huan (waving her hand): Don't talk nonsense, we haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet!
