Banquet hall
Qin Lin stared at Bai Qianmo with a gloomy expression: "If Miss Bai has nothing else to say, please leave. Not just anyone can come into the Gu family."
"Oh, right, take this gift back too, so it doesn't accidentally fall somewhere again. Xinyi, return Miss Bai's gift to her. I don't think your seventh uncle would even look at something like this."
Qin Lin emphasized the word "accidentally" with extra force, and her words were particularly harsh.
To onlookers, these words were like a slap in the face to Bai Qianmo on the spot.
Everyone was puzzled. Just how powerful was Bai Qianmo that she could make someone of Qin Lin's status hate her so much?
Gu Xinyi walked up to Bai Qianmo and tossed the gift to her.
"Bai Qianmo, let me give you a piece of advice: don't come up with such despicable tricks to attract attention in the future. Even if you make a scene that everyone knows about, no one will respect you. Just take this cheap gift and get lost. How could someone of my Seventh Uncle's status use something like this?" Gu Xinyi said with a look of scorn.
Those watching the scene were finally starting to see some signs of something.
It seems that Bai Qianmo is delusional and covets the Duke's manhood. She even shamelessly sneaks into the Gu family with cheap gifts, hoping to attract the Duke's attention.
"How shameless! Someone of her status thinks she can seduce the Duke?"
"Is the Duke so disgusted that he can't even bear to look at her? No wonder Madam Gu was so angry."
“People like this should be kicked out immediately, so they don’t dirty the Gu family’s place.”
“Madam Gu, you’re too soft-hearted. Don’t be polite to this kind of person. Just send a few guards to drive her away. If she still refuses to leave, call the police immediately. I don’t believe a little girl can cause such a scene.” The woman who found the gift said coldly.
Seeing that everyone was starting to attack Bai Qianmo, Ye Yuzhen had basically achieved her goal.
As long as Qin Lin and Bai Qianmo have a falling out and Qin Lin makes Bai Qianmo lose face in public, she doesn't believe that Lao Qi will still care about such a low-class thing.
Ye Yuzhen said coldly, "Bai Qianmo, although you are a girl and I shouldn't say such harsh things to you, you should still have a sense of shame and be clear about your own status. Don't let people laugh at you anymore. You should leave now."
Seeing that Bai Qianmo stood still and showed no sign of leaving.
Qin Lin scoffed, "Aren't you leaving? Do you really want me to kick you out?"
Bai Qianmo's indifferent gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Qin Lin's face.
A hint of aloofness appeared in those calm and composed eyes.
"Madam Qin, is this how the Gu family treats its guests?"
Qin Lin felt as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"You dare to talk to me about hospitality? Then let me ask you, have you received an invitation from the Gu family?" Qin Lin sneered.
"No." Bai Qianmo shook her head.
"Then how did you come to the Gu family?" Qin Lin asked again.
Bai Qianmo's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on a group of people walking towards them.
"Someone will answer your question in a moment."
Qin Lin scoffed: "Can't answer? Do you want me to tell you? Jingwen is a naive girl. You deliberately approached her to gain her sympathy and favor, which is why that silly girl brought you to the Gu family without even realizing it. Am I right?"
Seeing that Madam Gu, Grandpa Gu, Gu Jueye, and Gu Jingyu were walking towards them.
Bai Qianmo did not answer, but only gave a faint laugh.
That smile seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm.
As soon as Madam Gu arrived, she heard Qin Lin's slanderous remarks about Bai Qianmo.
A hint of displeasure appeared on her usually composed and elegant face.
"I invited Qianmo here."
Qin Lin was startled and turned around to look at Old Madam Gu, staring at her incredulously.
"Mom, what did you say?"
"Wasn't my answer clear enough? I invited Qianmo to Seventh Brother's birthday banquet. Your father knows about this. Today, I also sent Jingyu to pick up Qianmo personally. If you have any complaints, take them out on me." The old lady's voice was slow, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.
Qin Lin was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and it took her a long time to react.
"Mom, how could you let someone like that into our Gu family?"
"That kind of person? Qin Lin, have you really gotten to know this girl?"
"Mom, you're being too eager for your grandson to get married."
Madam Gu chuckled lightly, "Let's talk this over carefully, so you won't hold a grudge against me as your mother-in-law. I do hope that A-Ye will get married soon, but I am his grandmother, so I will not harm him. Not just anyone is suitable for my grandson. I would not just give him anyone because I am eager to see him settle down. Your father and I are very satisfied with Qianmo."
Bai Qianmo blinked her lowered eyes, her lips pressed tightly together, a hint of surprise in her heart.
She had initially thought that the two elderly people in the Gu family were eager to see their grandson get married and have children, but after hearing what the old lady said today, it seemed that wasn't their intention.
Qin Lin stared at Madam Gu in disbelief. The old lady was actually protecting Bai Qianmo like this?
Qin Lin frowned and looked at Gu Jueye, then suddenly understood.
The old lady had always doted on Ah Ye since he was a child. Now that the two elders were getting older, they hoped that their grandson could get married and start a career as soon as possible.
As the saying goes, when you're desperate, you'll try anything.
In order to get A-Ye married, the two elderly people brought home all sorts of good-looking men and women.
