Chen Qingqing took out two invitation letters from his bag and handed it to the Gu family guards, then smoothly passed through the gate and entered into the Gu household.
The Gu family was very big, many times bigger than the villa Gu Nanxi lived in before.
The pavilion was filled with an ancient atmosphere, and even the maids leading the way wore ancient, fragrant cheongsam. From the way they walked, it was obvious that they had gone through rigorous training.
Thinking about how the Gu family was worthy of being known as a scholarly family, one of the highest echelons of the Gu family.
"Miss Chen, this way please, young master has given his instructions, I've brought you guys to the banquet hall."
"Sorry for the trouble."
"Miss Chen, no need to be courteous."
Chen Qingqing and Zhang Fangfang arrived at the banquet hall together, because it was almost time for the banquet to start, there were a lot of people.
The moment they entered, everyone's gaze fell on them.
It wasn't because they stood out, but because their commo
ess seemed out of place in this lavish di
er party.
Everyone started to discuss, "Which family are these two ladies from? "She's wearing such shabby clothes, she doesn't even have a single piece of jewelry on her."
"Yeah, that dress doesn't look like it was real either. Eh ? why does it look like I just saw someone wearing it?"
"I think I've seen it before. It seems like she's the daughter of Yang Family, and just came back from abroad."
Chen Qingqing, "..." No way! He actually bumped into someone?
It's over! It's all over!
The heck, she really was the bane of banquets. It should be known that the biggest banquets of the world were usually bumping into clothes, and yet, this one was a replica of hers.
If only she had known earlier, she would have accepted the evening gown that Situ Feng had prepared for her.
When he thought about Situ Feng, Situ Feng came over.
"Qing Qing, you came."
"Un, where's Gu Nanxi? Do we need to meet her mother in advance? "
"I specifically came here to bring you over, make Zhang Fangfang eat something while waiting for you."
After Zhang Fangfang heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, you guys can go now!"
But in his heart, he was surprised that Chen Qingqing actually had the qualifications to see the host of this banquet.
How did she get caught in Young Master Gu's eyes?
Situ Feng led Chen Qingqing out of the banquet hall and into the Gu household's guest hall.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She had an extremely good complexion.
She wore a dark qipao, and her entire person looked like a lady from a noble family in the Republic of China. She had an elegant demeanor.
Gu Nanxi was currently by his mother's side, holding the prepared birthday present and giving it to her.
There were also a few onlookers standing beside him.
Seeing that, Madame Gu opened the jewelry box, seeing the jade bracelet inside, he could not help but exclaim in surprise: "Nan Xi, the jade bracelet's color is so good, where did you buy it?"
Gu Nanxi laughed: "Mother, I have a friend who helped me pick this out, as long as you like it."
"I like it, of course I like it. I wonder if that friend of yours came today?"
Gu Nanxi said dejectedly: "She isn't in Cloud City, otherwise, she would definitely come."
Seeing her son's expression, Madame Gu was slightly surprised. Could it be a girl?
She probed, "Then where is she from?"
Beijing, a while ago, I passed through Cloud City. By chance, Xiao Feng and I went to the mall to pick out a present for you. When we met her, she took the initiative to pick a present for us. "
"Oh? Then, when is she going to come to the Cloud City next time, and also let me see it? "
"Mom, she and I are still friends. Furthermore, she might not come to the Cloud City in the future."
"Okay, okay, I got it, I won't ask anymore. Hey ? ? Little Feng, you're here. Who is this girl?"
Gu Nanxi hurriedly introduced him: "This is Chen Qingqing, a classmate of mine who had a pretty good relationship with Little Feng at school."
Chen Qingqing graciously shouted, "Good day Madame Gu, I wish you a happy birthday.
Madame Gu saw that her appearance was average, but her temperament was not bad. Furthermore, she had a good relationship with her son and Situ Feng, so she must be some extraordinary person.
She gently nodded and said, "She's a good child. Come, sit by auntie's side. Let auntie have a good look."
Chen Qingqing obediently walked over, but he did not dare sit down, and instead half-bent his body as Madame Gu pulled her hand.
"Little girl, how old are you this year?"
"Seventeen."
"Ya, your looks are quite good, normally you wouldn't be bullied by Little Feng in school right?"
Gu Nanxi smiled and interrupted: "Mom, don't worry, she is the one who bullies Xiao Feng in school."
Madame Gu was surprised: "Oh? There was actually someone who dared to bully Little Feng? Are you for real? "Little girl, are you sure that Nan Xi is not lying?"
Chen Qingqing laughed embarrassedly, and said: "Not often. Everyone is a friend, you know.
The Madame Gu nodded in understanding as he looked up to Chen Qingqing.
This little girl was not bad. She was very natural and unrestrained, with the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. However, I heard that her family background was not that good.
Situ Feng was afraid that if he continued speaking, the little thing he had done would be pulled out, so he quickly went forward and gave the prepared gifts to Madame Gu.
She said, "Auntie Gu, this is the birthday present I've prepared for you. I wish you a happy birthday, a long life, and a happy life."
Chen Qingqing, "..." The heck, are your words poor? To use such an old-fashioned congratulatory phrase?
The Madame Gu looked at Situ Feng as if he was his own son, happily took it and opened it, then praised: "This emerald ring's jade was actually better than the one that Nan Xi just gave me."
Situ Feng said complacently: "That's right, Auntie Gu, this was also chosen by that friend of Nan Xi, a female friend!"
Gu Nanxi glared at him angrily, as if she was blaming him for speaking too much.
Situ Feng continued to fearlessly say: "Aunty, that female friend of Nan Xi's looks are really beautiful ?"
"Oh? Is that so? Then we really must meet. "
The several people in the living room were chatting merrily when a group of people suddenly walked in from outside. A young lady was leading the group.
In a split-second, everyone's gaze was attracted by the leading girl, including Chen Qingqing.
F * ck!
Goddess!
So beautiful!
She had long hair, a long cape, and a beautiful appearance. She had an elegant demeanor, just like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.
Although she was slightly inferior to her real appearance, she was definitely a goddess.
Just that ? ? Chen Qingqing was completely dumbstruck when he saw the clothes she was wearing.
The f * ck! It looked exactly the same as the dress she was wearing!
And others that is the genuine version, from the fabric to the workmanship all fine.
The original fabric was made of high-grade silk. Under the illumination of the lamplight, it sparkled, making her temperament even more refined.
The cloth on her body was ordinary, dull and lifeless. No one could tell that it was full of problems.
The beautiful woman also glanced at her. Seeing that she was actually standing close to the Madame Gu, with Situ Feng and Gu Nanxi by her side, she was slightly surprised.
Looking at how they were happily chatting with each other, he felt that it was a bit dazzling.
The few of them were all surprised to see her here, Madame Gu even stood up and asked excitedly: "Lanting, why are you here?"
"Mother Gu, because your birthday is here, I came back from studying abroad in advance. Mother Gu, I missed you so much." With that, she was embraced by Madame Gu like a mother and daughter.
After the two of them had finished making love, Yang Lanting seemed to have noticed that there was someone by his side, and shouted: "Gu Nanxi, Situ Feng, what's wrong? You don't recognize me anymore? "
Gu Nanxi seemed to be extremely happy as he replied, "How could that be? Lanting, you're finally back."
Situ Feng also quipped: "You thought you won't be coming back from overseas! "He actually dares to come back."
Yang Lanting laughed: "Brat, your skin is itchy again, right? Eh? "Who is this?"
As if he had just noticed Chen Qingqing, he spoke up in surprise.
Gu Nanxi hurriedly introduced him: "Lanting, this is one of our classmates, Chen Qingqing, Qing Qing. This is a companion that Situ Feng and I grew up with, our relationship is very good."
Their gazes met, both of them looking at each other in a critical ma
er.
Suddenly, a girl behind Yang Lanting said in shock: "Ah, Lanting, her clothes are the same as yours!"
Everyone looked and it seemed to be true. The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.
Chen Qingqing, "..." In the end, what was coming had finally come.
She bluntly said, "Of course, as soon as Miss Yang entered the room, I noticed that hers was an authentic one, and mine was only a copy."
The girl said, "Then why did you buy a copy!?"
These words could only be considered ordinary words to ordinary people, but to ask such a question in the circle of aristocrats, it was deliberately difficult.
The girl who had just spoken had an i
ocent appearance, which made it hard for people to dislike her.
Chen Qingqing replied naturally and gracefully: "Because there's only one original of every evening gown, and since I liked this set of gifts too much, I bought a copy, but I didn't expect to meet a genuine one."
Situ Feng snappily whispered in her ear: "I told you to wear it, but you didn't want to."
"I'm going to wear the dress you prepared. What about Fang Fang?" She doesn't have the money to prepare an authentic dress. "
"If you tell me in advance, I'll help her prepare a set as well."
"I know, it's my fault."
Seeing the two of them biting their ears intimately, Yang Lanting frowned and said: "What's wrong with that, it's not like it's anything big. Mother Gu, this is the birthday present I brought back for you, do you like it?"
"I like it, as long as it's a gift from Lanting, I like it."
"That's good."
With that, the girls behind Yang Lanting all offered their birthday presents as well.
All of them were valuable items.
The young lady who was purposely making things difficult for Chen Qingqing previously suddenly spoke out: "I wonder what kind of gift does Miss Chen Qingqing give to Madame Gu? Can you show it to everyone? "
Finishing their words, Situ Feng and Gu Nanxi looked at Chen Qingqing worriedly.
They all knew that Chen Qingqing was living in poverty, how could he have the free money to buy birthday presents?
Chen Qingqing replied: "Sure!"
She took out a high-quality brocade cloth from her handbag.
Everyone was stu
ed, could it be that this poor girl in a fake dress was going to give Madame Gu a piece of silk?
Chen Qingqing slowly opened the cloth and said: "Madame Gu, because Nan Xi invited me to your banquet a few days ago, I prepared it too quickly. If it is not to your liking, please do not take offense to it."
Having said so, she opened up the brocade cloth, revealing the contents within. Everyone was dumbfounded, some of them even couldn't help but exclaim out loud.
"It's actually a cross stitch."
Chen Qingqing, "..." Cross stitch your sister! Do you have to appreciate it if you don't understand?
