"I an, why is that woman sitting there?"
"What’s her status? A woman we’ve never seen before, where did she co from?"
"Isn’t it said that a girl appeared by Gu Shaocheng’s side? As soon as she arrived at the Gu Family, she enjoyed all sorts of indulgences. It’s been a year since we heard about it, could it be this woman in front of us?"
"What? I didn’t know about it, I haven’t been back in the country for years. Speaking of which, there haven’t been any won by my cousin’s side, right? Is this the first? I didn’t expect my cousin’s taste would be for this bunny-like type. She looks pretty cute, but we don’t know whether it’s genuine or fake. Won these days love acting young."
"She looks so young, even younger than . Is she even of age to be able to sneak her way to my cousin’s side? Indeed, looks can be deceiving!"
"But n, they love young, tender, and fresh. After playing for a few years, once she ages, he’ll dump her. These n are like viewing flowers on horseback without real interest. By the way, have you heard? There’s a young and beautiful woman appearing next to our granduncle recently. Shaless old man, there’s not a single good man!"
...
Murmurs filled the private corners.
Gu Shaocheng had never brought Chenxing to a public occasion before. He was always so reluctant to share, even the servants in the external houses didn’t know what the woman in the legends looked like, let alone these Gu Family folks scattered around the world.
Chenxing only showed up publicly twice. Once was in unfamiliar Japan, and the other ti was at a business banquet hosted by Gu Shaocheng, where she unintentionally caused trouble and was bullied... despite the rumors of a woman appearing by Gu Shaocheng’s side and his extre fondness for her, most of these aunts and gossiping won from the Gu family were seeing her for the first ti. Therefore, naturally, the topic fell onto her when they had nothing better to discuss.
At table of Gu Qianqian.
"Qianqian sister, who is the girl next to cousin?"
Gu Qianqian shrugged: "Oh, her? Her surna is Zhou, her na’s Chenxing."
"I an, what is her status? How can she sit in the chair of honor?"
The Gu family strictly observes hierarchical system and who sits where is a matter of great importance—an ordinary female companion doesn’t have the qualification to sit there.
Not just her, everyone at Gu Qianqian’s table had this question. She glanced at all the people sitting at her table and suddenly smiled: "How would I know? Wherever my brother lets her sit, she sits. Why so many questions?"
Given the level of affection her brother demonstrated for Chenxing, it’s highly likely she could be referred to as a little sister-in-law. However, without a formal introduction from her brother, a cunning woman like Gu Qianqian wouldn’t gossip recklessly.
Hua Hua beside her was about to chi in, but before she could utter a word, Gu Qianqian delivered a sharp kick under the table, warning her to watch what she said.

anwhile, the girl feeling nurous pairs of eyes on her back was becoming sowhat restless.
"What’s wrong?" Gu Shaocheng’s low voice, carrying a soothing power, resonated in Chenxing’s ear.
She was trying hard to maintain the smile she had practiced in front of the mirror all night. She shook her head: "I need to use the restroom."
"Useless!" Gu Shaocheng responded with a teasing laugh.
She always needed the restroom when she got nervous. It wasn’t the first ti.
