She really had no intention of socializing with her stepmother's family.
Gu Zongyan tried hard for a while, but gave up. He had plenty of ways to disgust Gu Yuqing, but if the cow refused to drink water, there was no point in forcing it down, and Gu Yuqing would still disgust him.
After being bored, Gu Zongyan left. Soon, Gu Chengxi walked over as if nothing had happened and sat on the sofa next to her.
Gu Chengxi is her stepmother's eldest daughter and is currently in high school.
The relationship between the two was pretty good when they were young, but ever since Gu Yuqing came back from college, they have become strangers.
Gu Yuqing continued to browse her phone and had no time to pay attention to her. Gu Chengxi looked around and hummed a song for a while. Finally, he couldn't help but speak:
"Are you still planning to study abroad?"
Gu Yuqing froze and turned to ask her, "Why are you asking this?"
Seeing that her face looked unhappy, Gu Chengxi was a little panicked. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I want to ask if you will still be in the country in a while."
"What if we are in the country? What if we are not in the country?" Gu Yuqing asked.
"If you were in China," Gu Chengxi said, "I'll be an adult in a few months, and my dad is planning to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for me. Can you...can you come?"
Gu Yuqing's stiff body relaxed, and a look of "So this is what you are talking about" appeared on her face.
Going abroad for further studies was indeed Gu Yuqing's previous plan, but this idea has not come to her mind for a long time recently.
When Gu Chengxi mentioned it, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Most of the "rich second generation" like her spend two years abroad, gain experience, and then come back to inherit the family business.
But Gu Yuqing is different. She went to Gaoshan Capital when she was in college, and with her extraordinary vision and skills, she quickly rose to the top.
But she felt more and more bored the longer she stayed there.
First, there is fierce intrigue within the company, and second, the Gu family is not limited to Gaoshan Capital, and she does not want to tie herself too tightly to this side.
So she left herself a way out and applied to many foreign universities.
When she returns from studying abroad, she will have more capital to accept even greater assets from the Gu family.
But recently, because of someone's sudden intrusion, she suddenly felt that staying in the country was also very interesting.
So she temporarily gave up her plan to go abroad.
"...Can you go?" Gu Chengxi reminded again.
Gu Yuqing came back to her senses and said, "Okay, sure."
Gu Chengxi didn't show anything on the surface, but one could still see that she was a little excited inside, and she kept talking:
"For my coming-of-age ceremony, I plan to rent the Haolong Manor in Bishui Bay and hold a dance party."
Gu Yuqing thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that Jiang Xinhai's?"
"Well, I used some connections and got in touch with Jiang Xinhai," Gu Chengxi said. "Didn't the Qin family invite Shao Zhaomei, the so-called popular singing queen, to their coming-of-age ceremony? Dad said that of course our family can't lose, so he wanted to invite Jiang Xinhai."
After saying this, she frowned slightly, half expectantly, and said, "It would be great if we could let her sing a couple of songs to help warm up the crowd."
When mentioning Jiang Xinhai, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but think of someone's boasting. She shook her head, expelling that person from her mind, and said:
"Jiang Xinhai hasn't participated in any commercial activities for a long time. I'm afraid I can't shake her."
"So I'm using my connections. It would be best if I could convince her." Gu Chengxi said.
Sorry, the author has had yang deficiency these days and feels a little weak. He feels a little better today.
I hope I can return to daily updates.
