Gu Wan walked in front of Shen's mother in high heels with an elegant posture, step by step, with a decent smile on her face. She was gentle by nature, and her every move and gesture made her look like a lady from a noble family.
The anger that Shen's mother had been holding in her heart these days seemed to have come out a little. For so many days, she didn't know how many people had talked about her behind her back, and in the end, she let her son get engaged to such an illegitimate daughter, who was inferior in every way.
Today, Gu Wan simply tied her hair up with a hairpin, which was casual and gentle.
“Aunt Shen, hello, elders.”
Mother Shen nodded with satisfaction, “This child is just too well-behaved.”
The people around looked at him again and again.
Chen Yu had never met Gu Wan, but he had heard a lot about her. She was nothing more than an orphan who suddenly became rich, had never seen the world and had little education.
In the distance, An He Nuan, holding a wine glass in her hand, looked at Gu Wan and stroked her long hair, "Gu Zhou, your sister is so beautiful."
Gu Zhou didn't say anything, neither denying nor agreeing, "How are you, are you doing well abroad?"
An He Nuan nodded gently, "How much is this dress? I'll transfer it to your card later."
Gu Zhou frowned and looked at her, "He Nuan, there's no need to talk about this between us."
An He Nuan's eyes unconsciously drifted towards Gu Wan, looking at her cheongsam, then looking at her own long skirt. She didn't know what was going on in her heart, and suddenly wanted to change it. But she smiled and said, "That won't work. We are close classmates, so we should be clear about the accounts. But your sister does suit the cheongsam very well."
Chen Yu had just finished toasting with his relatives and walked over.
Gu Zhou and An He Nuan nodded slightly, turned and left, leaving time for them.
Although Gu Wan was socializing with Shen's mother, it didn't stop her from paying attention to them. How much did they despise the original owner in their hearts? Bringing his first love to such an important occasion? Some people even took the initiative to make time for them.
“Aunt Shen, this is the handkerchief I gave you.”
She simply wrapped it in a gift box.
Mother Shen has seen all kinds of good things, but when she saw this handkerchief, she still felt her eyes light up, "The fabric and workmanship are really good."
Gu Wan's handicrafts have always been impressive.
The ladies around also took a look and praised it.
In the second half of the banquet, Chen Yu brought An He Nuan over.
Chen Yu didn't think there was anything wrong and didn't even glance at Gu Wan. "Mom, this is my classmate, An He Nuan."
Mother Shen knew her, but she didn't like her.
"Hello, I've heard Chen Yu mention you before. You're such a nice girl."
An He Nuan also took out the gift she had prepared, "Auntie Shen, this is a handkerchief I made myself, I wish you a happy birthday."
Mother Shen didn't expect that the gifts would collide, but with the pearls and jade in front, this one seemed a little ordinary.
Gu Wan stood aside steadily, but she did it on purpose.
Mother Shen just said it was good and asked someone to put it away.
"Chen Yu, come here, this is Wan Wan. Something unexpected happened at the company on the day of the engagement. You haven't seen her yet, have you?"
This was the first time Chen Yu had formally met Gu Wan so closely, and he felt that she looked familiar.
Gu Wan took the initiative to extend her hand, "Gu Wan, we have actually met before."
Although Shen Yu is arrogant and presumptuous in nature, like Shen's mother, he still has to maintain the courtesy and face of the big family.
"Hello, Chen Yu."
Mother Shen always liked the two of them better than An Henuan.
"You guys, young people, find a place to have a good chat, I won't keep you." After saying that, she smiled and talked to her sisters.
An He Nuan has a strong sense of self-respect. When she heard this, she could no longer hold back the smile on her face. She turned around, lifted her skirt, and left proudly like a queen.
Chen Yu didn't chase after her, but just turned around and looked at her leaving back, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Gu Wan reached out and patted his shoulder gently.
"Chen Yu, should we go outside and talk?" She tilted her head and looked at him with a smile.
Chen Yu turned and looked at Gu Wan. His face was as cold as ice, but when he saw her smile, it subsided unconsciously and he strode out.
Gu Wan followed behind. The terrace outside was a good place to talk.
"Actually, I've met you before, Jiangting Community."
Chen Yu instantly remembered, was it her that day?
"I advise you not to dream of things that don't belong to you."
Gu Wan placed her hands on the guardrail and looked at the stars in the sky. "I don't want to get engaged either, Chen Yu. It's not just you who's against it, I am too. I don't like you, and you have someone you like, isn't it Miss An from before?"
Chen Yu didn't want to hide it, but still looked at Gu Wan expressionlessly, "Yes, that's perfect. Go and explain everything to Grandpa and cancel the engagement."
Gu Wan sighed helplessly, then tilted her head to look at Chen Yu, "You're so silly, Master Shen, I don't want to go. Grandpa is so good to me. He's the best person to me since I was a child. I can't bear to hurt him." After a somewhat dejected pause, she changed to a more relaxed tone and said, "Besides, don't you still want to rely on our engagement to make Miss An jealous?"
The author has something to say:
I'm stuck again. This is my first time writing a romance novel. I'm really embarrassed by it. I'm back and will continue to update.
