When their fingertips touched the wrapping paper, the Gu family couldn't help but glance at it again.
The wrapping paper looks like it was hand-painted.
Madam Gu frowned and glared at the Gu family: "Put the gifts away properly."
"Yes, Madam."
The Gu family members left the crowd with their gifts, feeling truly aggrieved.
He didn't expect it; that woman clearly threw it on the ground on purpose...
Although the gifts were taken away, the expressions on everyone's faces were quite varied.
Qin Lin, in particular, looked utterly disdainful when she saw the brand of the wallet.
They started secretly comparing them in their minds.
Qian Ning gave A Ye a unique copy of "Microcosm". Regardless of the book's value, Qian Ning's thoughtfulness alone shows the depth of her feelings for A Ye and reflects her taste and style.
As for Bai Qianmo, she actually gave her a wallet that wasn't even a luxury item; she was simply desperate for money.
Grandpa Gu didn't go over to join in the fun. After the old lady sat back down, he leaned closer and whispered to her.
Where is Qianmo?
Grandma Gu frowned: "I don't know where she went. I've already asked the Gu family to look for her. Maybe she felt bored here and went out to get some fresh air."
Originally, I thought that Qianmo and Qige'er's relationship would not be made public for the time being, since my grandson had not yet won over the girl. So even though I invited Qianmo over today, she could only be treated as an ordinary guest.
Unexpectedly, this happened in the middle.
The old man said in a deep voice, "It's time to properly discipline the people in our family."
"You mean to say that Qianmo's birthday present was deliberately thrown on the ground?"
"I think that's what you're thinking too," the old man said, looking at his wife.
The old lady chuckled helplessly, "Everything will be clear once Qianmo arrives."
After Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu left the crowd, the other guests began to discuss the matter.
"Just who is Bai Qianmo? She actually... hahaha, she actually gave such a low-end wallet. Her gift must be the worst and most tasteless gift of all today, right?"
A girl was searching for that brand on her phone: "Oh my god, this wallet is only 3999 yuan? If you buy it online, you can get a 200 yuan coupon and a bunch of free gifts..."
"I really want to see which village Bai Qianmo comes from, that she can give away such cheap things."
"Didn't that girl named Ye Mengyao just say they were classmates? Let's go over and ask her."
People are obviously happy to discuss and enjoy watching others make fools of themselves.
A wave of people came to chat with Ye Mengyao, a stark contrast to when she was ignored just moments before.
"Mengyao, are you really classmates in high school?"
Ye Mengyao nodded: "They are classmates, but Qianmo is an auditor and is not considered a student of our school."
"Ah, who exactly is she? I'm really curious about how she got into the Gu family."
Ye Mengyao had an unspeakable expression on her face, and the information Ye Yuzhen had told her flashed through her mind.
I was genuinely quite surprised.
I originally thought that Bai Qianmo's family must have some connections to get her into No. 1 High School as an auditor, but I never expected that she was from the countryside.
"Mengyao, just tell us. We've gotten to know each other now, and we're friends from now on. Just tell a few of us quietly, and I promise I won't tell anyone."
Ye Mengyao appeared very cautious: "Then you mustn't go out and talk about it."
"Of course, we won't tell you even if it's to keep it a secret for you."
"Then I'll tell you. Actually, Qianmo comes from the countryside. Although she's currently staying at the Bai family's place and seems to have become related to them, she's still a country person at heart and hasn't seen much of the world, so she probably thinks a wallet that costs 3999 is already a very high-end item."
Ye Mengyao's words completely stunned the wealthy socialites surrounding her.
"My God, I never expected her to be from the countryside. Where did Bai Qianmo go? I really want to see what this country girl looks like."
"What's so interesting about her? She's just a country girl, probably similar to the women in those rural documentaries on TV."
Ye Mengyao said, "She seemed to have been sitting there just a moment ago, but now I don't know where she is."
"He must have been scared into hiding because his gift was ridiculed in public, hahaha..."
Seeing the socialites mocking Bai Qianmo, Ye Mengyao secretly sneered.
What she wanted was for them to spread rumors and ruin Bai Qianmo's reputation so that she could gain Ye Yuzhen's favor.
If what she did today earned Ye Yuzhen's trust, she could gradually integrate into this aristocratic circle through Ye Yuzhen.
Ye Mengyao glanced at the strikingly handsome figure in the crowd, and her heart stirred with emotion.
When they met again a few years later, he was even more outstanding than he had been in his youth. Standing next to him, Gu Hongxun looked like a clown. They were both from the Gu family, so it was really hard to compare them.
She secretly vowed that she would not only surpass Ye Qianning, but also become someone the Ye family could not aspire to.
Once she gets close to that man, why would she need to care about Ye Qianning?
*
Bai Qianmo and Qin Jingwen returned to the banquet hall
Ye Mengyao was the first to notice them, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Bai Qianmo!"
Ye Mengyao's voice was clear and particularly loud.
