Gu Baiwei chose a white, one-shoulder fishtail dress for her. The well-tailored dress accentuated Xia Shihan's shapely figure even more perfectly.
The skirt is adorned with sequins of the same color, which shimmer and sparkle under the lights as she moves.
Xia Shih-han asked shyly, "Auntie, is it pretty?"
Gu Baiwei immediately clapped her hands: "Oh my god, it's so beautiful!"
Then, standing on tiptoe, he slapped Yesinen on the back of the head: "Right, Niannian?"
Ye Sinian was stunned for a moment, a flash of amazement crossing his eyes. He coughed lightly, feeling a little awkward, and said, "Not bad."
What do you mean by "not bad"?
Gu Baiwei kicked his shin in dissatisfaction.
Ye Sinian blushed slightly and said, "It looks quite good."
Xia Shihhan's face instantly turned bright red. Gu Baiwei was very satisfied with this scene and secretly tugged at Ye Sinian's sleeve: "Make the most of the opportunity tonight. I have to go now."
She said she had something to do, but what she really wanted was to create an opportunity for her blockhead son and Xia Shihhan to be alone together.
Gu Baiwei left humming a little tune in a very good mood. See, you brat, your marriage still depends on your mother's help.
She walked towards her car with a smile on her lips and in a good mood.
As soon as I opened the car door, a familiar male voice came from behind me.
"Sister Weiwei."
Lu Ran was forced by his father to accompany Qin Jiaojiao to choose an outfit for the party. He was looking very unwilling when he saw that familiar figure from afar.
He immediately abandoned Qin Jiaojiao and chased after her.
Qin Jiaojiao watched helplessly as Lu Ran fawned over that woman, her face turning so dark it was almost dripping with water.
She bit her lip, lifted her foot and followed, glaring fiercely at Gu Baiwei, cursing inwardly, "Shameless vixen."
Gu Baiwei was a little overwhelmed to run into Lu Ran here again.
She didn't want to see Ye Yunting, and she especially didn't want to see Lu Ran beside him.
Although she liked the man's appearance, he was Ye Yunting's good friend, and she didn't want to provoke him either.
Lu Ran, however, was completely oblivious to her resistance and came over with a grin: "Sister Weiwei, we meet again. We really are destined to meet."
Gu Baiwei greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Lu."
In her heart, she couldn't help but complain: This is not fate, it's clearly a karmic entanglement. Can't she just stay away from Ye Yunting and the people around him?
"Sister Weiwei, are you free tonight?"
Lu Ran looked at Gu Baiwei with a bright smile. From the moment she met her, she had long forgotten about Qin Jiaojiao.
Gu Baiwei initially wanted to refuse outright, but seeing Lu Ran's still-healing injuries and remembering how badly he had been beaten because of her yesterday, she subconsciously shook her head: "It's alright. I was just about to properly thank you for what happened yesterday, so how about I..."
She had originally planned to invite Lu Ran to dinner and have his girlfriend come along.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ran interrupted her with a look of delight: "Then how about Sister Weiwei be my date tonight? I'm going to a party tonight, and I don't have a suitable date yet."
With those words, Qin Jiaojiao's face behind him instantly became even more gloomy. He said he didn't have a female companion, so what was she?
She clenched her fists instinctively, her nails digging deep into the flesh of her palms. It was all that vixen's fault; if she hadn't seduced Lu Ran, he would never have treated her like this.
"Sister Weiwei, please, please have pity on me, okay?"
Lu Ran looked at her pitifully, his brown dog-like eyes filled with pleading.
Gu Baiwei wanted to refuse, but suddenly found herself unable to say it.
Seeing that she didn't refuse, Lu Ran immediately became excited: "Then, Sister Weiwei, I'll pick you up at eight o'clock tonight. It's a deal, see you later."
Gu Baiwei: "..." Okay, I'll go. After all, apart from being bad at making friends, Lu Ran hasn't done anything to offend her.
In his past life, although Ye Yunting was always involved in scandals, the only woman he ever brought to a banquet was Gu Baiwei.
Gu Baiwei is quite experienced in attending banquets.
In the evening, after choosing her dress and accessories in the dressing room, she went out.
It was exactly eight o'clock.
Ye Sinian had already gone to pick up Xia Shihhan, and Ye Chuyue also called to say that she was studying at Li Nanxing's house and would be back later.
Gu Baiwei told Liu Ma what she was doing and then went downstairs.
As soon as he got downstairs, he saw Lu Ran leaning against the car door waiting for him.
Today he was wearing a silver suit, his hair was all combed up, revealing his handsome face with well-defined features, and he looked much more mature and composed.
Seeing her come down, Lu Ran exclaimed in exaggerated surprise, "Sister Weiwei, you look so beautiful today."
After he finished speaking, he shyly reached out to help Gu Baiwei into the car. While driving, he would occasionally steal glances at Gu Baiwei.
Gu Baiwei was speechless, and for a moment she even regretted agreeing to be his female companion.
Before long, the car stopped in front of a magnificent hotel, and Lu Ran immediately opened the car door for Gu Baiwei in a very gentlemanly manner.
As soon as she got out of the car, she noticed several malicious gazes directed at her; it turned out to be Qin Jiaojiao.
Standing next to her were several elegantly dressed women. When they met her gaze, they all craned their necks, looking like fighting cocks.
Gu Baiwei attended the party only to repay a favor to Lu Ran and did not want to cause trouble.
She simply ignored these people; after all, it wouldn't hurt her to glare at them.
On the other hand, after being rejected by Gu Baiwei, Shen Yanqing did not go to Xia Shihan.
After what happened yesterday, he had already made up his mind about his feelings for Gu Baiwei, and he no longer had the patience to continue playing along with Xia Shihan.
In his eyes, Xia Shihhan was a delicate, innocent little white flower, so naive that she was boring. Gu Baiwei, on the other hand, seemed gentle and harmless on the surface, but was actually a cunning little fox.
Thinking of that little woman, the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up again.
Big Head suddenly saw this scene and subconsciously took a step back: "Boss... Boss?"
Could it be that the boss has gone mad after being rejected by Miss Gu?
...
At the banquet, Lu Ran and Gu Baiwei walked side by side. He secretly tried to reach out and hold Gu Baiwei's hand, but as soon as his hand touched hers, he felt a cold gaze falling on his back.
He turned around nervously, only to meet the dark gaze of his father, Lu Zhenhai.
When Lu Zhenhai saw his son swaggering in with a strange woman, his expression immediately turned sour.
During this period, the Lu family company encountered some problems, so he deliberately released the news that the Lu family and the Qin family were about to get married, just to let the outside world know that the Lu family had the Qin family as a backer, so that even if some problems arose, they could get through them safely.
Unexpectedly, despite his repeated instructions to bring this brat and Qin Jiaojiao together, he left Qin Jiaojiao aside and brought along a woman he had somehow gotten his hands on.
This woman is beautiful, but being beautiful isn't enough to marry into their family.
Lu Zhenhai shifted his scrutinizing gaze from Gu Baiwei, glared at his son, and silently said, "Get over here."
Lu Ran's expression immediately changed when he met the death stare from his own father.
"Sister Weiwei, you wait here for a while, I'll be right back."
He hurriedly followed Lu Zhenhai out of the hall, but as soon as they stepped outside, Lu grabbed his ear and said, "You brat, have you been ignoring everything I say?"
