"It’s very vibrant, this blue makes you look the most energetic."
"Really? Then let’s go with this... I’m getting old, back in the day when I was galloping across the battlefield, no one could stop ."
"Of course, sir, you still have the sa charm as back then." The butler knew how to flatter well.
...
Zhou Mingqi followed Qiao Qiqi’s stock purchases for a week, and it really quintupled. He looked at his account as it grew from one million to five million with utter disbelief on his face.
He had worked hard for so many years to save up ten million. And in just one week, he made four million?
He imdiately called Qiao Qiqi.
At this mont, Gu Shili had delivered the purchased dress to her, and Qiao Qiqi was trying on the dress for the banquet.
This dress was personally designed by Gu Shili for Qiao Qiqi, elegant yet playful, perfectly suited for her age, masking her previously dull appearance. The purple made her fair skin seem to glow.
In short, such a girl is the center of attention wherever she goes.
Gu Shili almost regretted making her look so dazzling, really wishing he could hide her away, not letting anyone see.
By the ti the two arrived at the Gu Family’s place, many guests had already gathered. The Gu Family’s estate was nearly twice the size of the Rong Family’s. When they entered, they imdiately beca the focus of the crowd. Who could ignore such heavenly looks?
Although Gu Shili was a child of the Gu Family, for certain reasons, he rarely appeared in public, so many people did not know this young master of the Gu Family and were speculating about which family’s children these two were.
"Cousin, you’re here, I knew you’d co today, and this is?" A young girl in a pink dress, sowhat charming in appearance, ran over holding her skirt, her eyes toward Gu Shili filled with admiration.
Qiao Qiqi, "..."
Aren’t cousins supposed to be related by blood?
Why does this seem off?
"Excuse us." Gu Shili’s expression turned extrely cold, making his handso features even more pronounced but unfeeling.
"Cousin, why are you ignoring ? I’m Jingjing, rember?" Bai Jingjing looked on the verge of tears as she tried to grab Gu Shili’s sleeve.
"..." Gu Shili swiftly avoided it, disdain flashing in his eyes as he quickly took Qiao Qiqi’s hand and left.
Today was Old Gu’s birthday banquet, and no matter what, he would hold his temper.
"Your cousin?" Qiao Qiqi asked in surprise.
"A maternal cousin from my third aunt’s side, unrelated to ." ntioning this made Gu Shili feel uncomfortable.
"..."
No wonder the relationships in wealthy families are so complicated.
At this ti, Qiao Qiqi saw two familiar people: Gu Shili’s uncle and his cousin, the one whose arm got broken.
Upon seeing the two enter, Gu Shilin quickly slipped away, mainly because last ti was too embarrassing. Seeing these two made his hand hurt.
His father later scolded him harshly, and although he was rash, he wasn’t stupid. Knowing Qiao Qiqi’s capabilities, he didn’t want to offend soone who could save his life.
Life is long, and things can change. What if one day he needed saving and had offended her to the point she refused to help?
He’s soone who cherishes life, after all.
"Linzi, why are you running away? Saw a ghost?" a friend asked with a smile.
"Scarier than ghosts, the ancestor is here!" Gu Shilin didn’t even feel embarrassed as he made his escape.
Gu Qinghe, "..."
