Gu Jingchen understood that smile, and he said repeatedly, "Ningning, no matter how beautiful she is, it has nothing to do with me."
Besides, Miss Xu is not as pretty as Ning Ning. She gives people a stunning and perfect effect because of the Xu family's background and because she used Su Ning as a stepping stone. Apart from her status and background, how can Miss Xu compare to Su Ning?
"This is none of your business!"
Lu Cheng also retorted sarcastically, "It's obvious this is aimed at you."
The third step in Miss Xu's introduction was for Gu Ran to reveal her identity, and deliberately praise Miss Xu as if she were a goddess, saying that any man who married her would be very lucky.
Isn't it obvious that they want Gu Jingchen to marry Miss Xu?
Now, Gu Ran is intimately holding Miss Xu's hand and taking her into the circle of wealthy women in Nancheng. Isn't that the way she treats Miss Xu as family?
The intentions of the Xu family and Gu Ran were immediately clear, as were most of the guests present, including Mu An'an.
"Does Gu Ran want Gu Jingchen to marry Miss Xu?"
Although Mu An'an was a step too slow, she spoke the truth of the matter very frankly.
This banquet was a meeting between Mr. Xu and the upper class of Nancheng, perhaps to expand the Xu family's influence in Nancheng. But one thing was clear: it was to let everyone see his daughter.
And this kindness was given by Su Ning.
"By tomorrow, Miss Xu and I will be worlds apart."
Su Ning scoffed, then looked up at Mr. Xu, who was talking to the guests, and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She knew she couldn't attend the Xu family banquet, but she still readily accepted Mr. Xu's invitation because she liked him.
This kind of liking is respect, and also dependence; it's liking without reason.
Now, they've only brought her here to use her, to pave the way for their own daughter; what they really want is her man!
She had no idea she was so annoying.
No, it won't.
Seeing that Su Ning's mood had dropped, Gu Jingchen comforted her repeatedly.
The Xu family's scheme was subtle and roundabout, but it was truly ingenious. With Gu Ran openly flattering Miss Xu, it really will be as Su Ning said: Miss Xu will become the most perfect person in everyone's eyes.
And then that...
The Gu family, and even the entire upper class, would gossip behind Su Ning's back after just one visit, saying she was not good enough for them.
Over time, even the seemingly indifferent Su Ning developed a thorn in her heart, a thorn that would remain there until her legs fully healed.
Uncertainly, in the end, Su Ning couldn't bear the psychological pressure and left.
Gu Jingchen's eyes darkened as he thought of this.
The Xu family, how cunning!
The only way to turn the tide is to make yourself a useless person!
Only a useless person deserves to be with another useless person, so as not to bring any psychological burden to Su Ning.
As Gu Jingchen thought this, his gaze fell on Gu Ran, who was trying to please Miss Xu. Looking at Gu Ran's beaming face, the coldness in Gu Jingchen's eyes grew stronger.
Su Ning's mood at the banquet was immediately affected, and she didn't want to stay any longer.
She was very upset because she had been tricked by Mr. Xu.
"Wait a little longer!" Gu Jingchen wouldn't let Su Ning leave. "I'll take you to see a show later."
He insisted that Su Ning should not leave.
Seeing the coldness in Gu Jingchen's eyes, Lu Cheng was worried that he might do something reckless.
"Jingchen, the Xu family is indeed the most prestigious family in the capital."
"First!"
Gu Jingchen sneered, "Since they are the most prestigious family, I am really not good enough for their daughter!"
