Gu Jueye's background and abilities are the ultimate goal that all men dream of, so such a man can easily gain respect and recognition among his male peers.
The older ladies looked at Gu Jueye with the same fervor they would show for a lottery jackpot.
They were all secretly glad to have the opportunity to attend this gathering today, especially the wealthy ladies who brought their daughters, who were staring intently at Gu Jueye.
"The Gu family has always produced outstanding sons, and this is indeed true. This Seventh Master is so young, yet he has already become an internationally renowned cell biologist. His appearance is also so outstanding. It is truly rare."
“I heard from my husband that the research projects under the Duke’s control are all key national projects. To be honest, I’m ashamed to say that my son is the same age as him, and now he does nothing but play video games and drive sports cars. He has no ambition at all,” a wealthy woman said with a look of envy.
"Born into a wealthy and powerful family, and with such outstanding personal qualities, how are ordinary people like us supposed to survive?"
Listening to the clamor, Han Songyan felt as if her head was about to explode, with a series of booming sounds swirling in her ears.
Was it him?
He was actually Gu Jueye?
Han Songyan recalled the man standing beside Du Muchen, exuding a sharp aura.
At the time, she sensed that this man was no ordinary person, but she never expected that he would be the legendary Seventh Master Gu of the Gu family.
Han Songyan pinched her thigh hard. Everything that happened tonight was too surreal; it felt like a nightmare to her.
First it was Song Qing, and now it's Gu Jueye. All of these people actually know that brat Bai Qianmo, and their relationships seem to be quite unusual.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Bai Xiruo looked at the most eye-catching man in the room, her heart filled with suspicion. It seemed that Han Songyan's expression changed very abnormally after seeing this person.
Did they know each other before?
He then dismissed the idea. Han Songyan was a rather vain person. If she really knew this person from the Gu family, how could she have kept it a secret until now?
Han Songyan kept her lips pressed together and remained silent, her whole body trembling slightly.
Bai Qianmo sat in the far corner, and under everyone's gaze, Gu Jueye walked to the seat closest to Bai Qianmo and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, several well-dressed young men came over.
Although Gu Jueye is aloof and distant, his good upbringing has instilled in him a polite and gentlemanly demeanor. He will usually respond to men who take the initiative to make small talk.
Some bolder girls who tried to approach her were usually deterred by a cold look.
Men can still have some topics to talk about, but when a girl comes up to chat, her intentions are too obvious.
Bai Qianmo sat to the side, watching with great interest the girls who were like moths to a flame.
She could actually understand their feelings at that moment. When faced with an exceptionally talented person like Gu Jueye, "composure" was a non-existent thing!
From her position, she could perfectly admire the man's handsome profile. Under the soft light, his thick eyebrows rippled gently, and his slender phoenix eyes were deep and unfathomable. A glint of silver light flashed from the slightly upturned corners of his eyes, making his fair face appear as delicate as porcelain.
The other person seemed to sense her gaze. The man, who had been listening attentively to someone else, suddenly looked up and glanced in her direction.
When he met Bai Qianmo's gaze, his deep eyes, beneath his long, slightly curled eyelashes, shone with a glimmer of light. His thin lips curved into a smile as he quickly winked at her.
Bai Qianmo felt as if her body had been struck by an electric current; the damn tingling sensation spread all the way up from her toes.
One of the girls exclaimed softly, "I think I just saw Lord Sir smile. Isn't it rumored that he never smiles?"
"I saw it too, Sir's smile is really charming."
Bai Xiruo hesitated for a long time, clutching the hem of her skirt, before finally mustering up the courage to walk towards the empty seat next to Bai Qianmo.
There were two seats between Bai Qianmo and Gu Jueye. Because of the powerful aura of the Duke, and the fact that Song Qing and her son Ji Cong'an were standing to the side chatting with the guests, those two seats were naturally reserved for them.
"Qianmo, I don't know anyone else. Let's just stay together."
Bai Qianmo picked up the coffee beside her and took a small sip with her crimson lips.
A hint of mockery flickered in his lazy eyes. He glanced at Bai Xiruo indifferently, showing no intention of paying her any attention.
Bai Xiruo's smile froze instantly, but she quickly recovered and sat down next to Bai Qianmo.
"I didn't expect you to have this kind of relationship with the Ji family. How come you've never mentioned it before?"
Bai Qianmo chuckled softly, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"Bai Xiruo, are we that close? Why should I tell you who I am or what my relationship is with?"
I knew Bai Xiruo was thick-skinned, but I never expected her skin to be as thick as a city wall.
Her thoughts were written all over her face. Faced with someone like that, Bai Qianmo had no interest in saying another word.
Faced with Bai Qianmo's indifferent attitude, Bai Xiruo gritted her teeth and remained seated.
In short, she has achieved her goal; in other people's eyes, she came to find Bai Qianmo.
What she wanted was for the man beside her to notice her.
At this moment, Song Qing coughed lightly and addressed the people present.
"A lot of young people have come today. It must be so boring for them to sit and chat with us old ladies. How about we all pick a dance partner and dance together?"
Tonight's banquet is essentially a disguised matchmaking event. The most direct way to warm up the relationship between men and women is through physical contact, and dancing is naturally the best choice.
Song Qing smiled and glanced into the crowd: "Ah Ye, to give your Aunt Song some face, the opening dance is yours. You can choose a dance partner from among the girls here!"
All the girls turned to look at Gu Jueye, their eyes shining with hope.
It feels like Cinderella waiting for the prince to choose her as her bride, each one eagerly anticipating the prince's favor.
Gu Jueye's gaze seemed to casually sweep over the people present, but when he looked at a certain corner, a faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.
He said in a deep voice, "Aunt Song's face is definitely something she can't escape."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jueye's long legs, which had been crossed, slowly came down. His tall figure slowly stood up from his seat, casually slipping one hand into his trouser pocket, and walked calmly in that direction.
Upon seeing this, Han Songyan felt a chill run down her spine; she already knew the answer in her heart.
There must be a problem between Gu Jueye and that girl Bai Qianmo.
As Bai Xiruo watched Gu Jueye's tall and handsome figure slowly walk towards her, her heart pounded wildly, like a deer caught in a trap.
