A weekend has passed in the blink of an eye.
The weather in the south of the city is unpredictable; yesterday it was sunny and bright, but today it's drizzling.
Su Yaoyao had just come out of the mall when she saw the rain getting heavier and heavier, and she couldn't get a ride-hailing car for a long time. A hint of impatience appeared between her brows.
If we delay any longer, it might be too late to attend the banquet.
A black Maybach slowly drove through the rain. Through the slightly blurred windows made by the raindrops, the man noticed the thin and slender figure almost immediately.
"Stop."
A sharp screech of brakes immediately followed.
Jiang Chen also noticed the woman standing alone at the mall entrance.
"Master, I heard that Miss Su is also attending the Gu family's banquet. Why don't we take her along on the way?"
In the back seat, the man, exuding an icy aura, merely glanced at Jiang Chen upon hearing this.
"You're the one who talks too much?"
Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly. Could it be that his master told him to stop not so that he could pick up Miss Su and leave together?
Suddenly, something occurred to him, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
“Master, it might be difficult to get a taxi in this weather, and Miss Su is a young lady wearing a skirt. What if she catches a cold? Moreover, Miss Su is so beautiful, what if she gets harassed by someone with ill intentions? Master, as the saying goes, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Why don't you take pity on Miss Su?”
Yu Chiyan looked out the window.
Su Yaoyao seemed a little cold at this moment, hugging her shoulders with both hands. Her bright and beautiful face was slightly pale. At this moment, many people had left the mall entrance, leaving only her. Her slender and thin body made her look somewhat isolated and helpless.
Yu Chiyan, moved by kindness, said, "Let's go take a look."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Okay."
Just as Su Yaoyao put down her phone, an expensive black Maybach stopped in front of her.
A refined and handsome man pushed open the car door and stepped out, holding a long black umbrella.
"Miss Su, are you going to the Gu family banquet? Young Master said he's going the same way and invited you to come along."
Su Yaoyao's gaze fell on the car. Even though it was far away and there was a window between them, she could still feel a pair of extremely aggressive and cold eyes staring at her from inside.
She hadn't seen Yu Chiyan since that absurd night, and she never expected him to appear so unexpectedly today.
Actually, it wasn't entirely unexpected. After all, she was going to attend the Gu family's banquet, and given the relationship between Yu Chiyan and Gu Moting, it was only a matter of time before she ran into him.
Because of nervousness, her fingers gradually tightened, and her cool voice suppressed her emotions.
"No need, someone else is picking me up."
Jiang Chen's smile froze for a moment, clearly not expecting Su Yaoyao to refuse. He inwardly groaned, wishing he hadn't made excuses for his master earlier!
Jiang Chen was afraid of being frozen to death by the cold air her master was releasing, and still tried to struggle; "Miss Su, why don't you come with us? It's raining, how much longer are you going to wait?"
Su Yaoyao shook her head, her face cold, but she was very anxious. Why hadn't Huo Xiting arrived yet?
When Yu Chiyan saw that Su Yaoyao hadn't arrived yet, his expression darkened. He opened the car door and got out.
When Su Yaoyao caught a glimpse of Yu Chi coming down out of the corner of her eye, she almost stopped breathing with tension.
She didn't know when it started, but whenever she saw this man, she would feel a pang of heart palpitations.
Just then, Huo Xiting's car arrived.
Yu Chiyan stopped in his tracks, anger flashing in his eyes.
In just a short while, Su Yaoyao had already gotten into Huo Xiting's car.
"Quickly, Xiting, let's go!"
Huo Xiting had obviously noticed Yu Chiyan as well. The man immediately understood and, after Su Yaoyao fastened her seatbelt, he immediately increased the car's speed.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the car sped past the puddle next to Yu Chiyan.
Yu Chiyan quickly dodged to the side, but his trouser legs were still stained with dirty water.
The man's face immediately darkened.
Jiang Chen thought to himself, "Oh no, my master is a germaphobe!"
Huo Xiting is practically asking for death!
Su Yaoyao saw everything clearly through the rearview mirror and was somewhat astonished.
"Xiting, you're such a gentleman, when did you become like this..."
Huo Xiting raised an eyebrow, his smile gentle and sunny; "You think I'm a gentleman, but I've never said that."
Su Yaoyao propped herself up on her hands and tilted her head to look at his profile.
Oh right, Huo Xiting is not a gentleman.
The first time they met, he knocked Su Qingqing unconscious.
It is said that men would not hit women, but Huo Xiting is clearly not that kind of person.
Su Yaoyao smiled wryly.
It seems that Huo Xiting was too good to her and too gentle, which is why she thought this man was a gentleman.
...
The Gu family's banquet was held at a five-star hotel owned by the Gu Group.
Most of the attendees at the banquet were prominent figures from the southern part of the city, with the daughters and socialites of various wealthy families making up the majority.
Su Yaoyao looked at the handsome men and beautiful women coming and going at the banquet and couldn't help but marvel.
"What's going on with the Gu family? How did a social event turn into a matchmaking event?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiting couldn't help but laugh; "Yaoyao is really smart."
Su Yaoyao: "..."
She guessed right?
"A few days ago, someone said that Gu Tingmo had taken a fancy to a married woman, so the Gu family held this banquet in order to find a wife for Huo Xiting."
Hearing Huo Xiting say this, Su Yaoyao was shocked and incredulous.
"Gu Tingmo likes a married woman? Is it true?"
