Chapter 99: Appearance
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the banquet hall hosted by the Jiang family, the chandelier on the ceiling emitted different lights that illuminated the entire lively hall.
The crowd gathered in twos and threes, discussing business matters, or some of the gossip that the families knew.
“Speaking of which, shouldn’t that daughter of the Ji family come this time?”
“That’s hard to say. That child came from a village and even bankrupted Jiang He’s company. Zhao Hong laughed at Jiang He for a long time because of this. Jiang He might not be willing to bring that child along.”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t want to either. It’s already not good to come from the countryside, and she even caused trouble at home. Even if she’s my biological daughter, I don’t have a good impression of her.”
“At that time, I saw that girl’s appearance on the Internet. I have to say that she’s really not good. She’s short, ugly, and has dark yellowish skin. She’s the kind that people can’t stand to look at!”
“Really? Then is the Ji family still willing to bring her out? She won’t be locked up at home by Ji Gao, right?”
“A child from the countryside doesn’t know the rules. Even if she comes to such a banquet, she will probably only be at a loss. She might not even know how to wear a gown.”
“Keep your voices down! I heard that that girl’s methods are outstanding; she even made the second young master of the Chu family circle around her!” “Are you serious?”
“Of course it’s true. My child is in the same school as them! He personally witnessed how the second young master of the Chu family interacted with Gu Xiao. The second young master of the Chu family even personally explained questions for Gu Xiao!”
Hearing this, the surrounding people immediately sighed.
The second young master of the Chu family was quite famous in their circle. Who had seen the second young master of the Chu family patiently explain questions to others before?
It would already be a blessing for the second young master of the Chu family not to kick her away!
With this news, although the people present still looked down on Gu Xiao, they didn’t continue to say anything nasty because of Chu An’s existence.
However, in their hearts, they still wanted to see Gu Xiao make a fool of herself.
While everyone had their own thoughts, Ji Gao finally brought Gu Xiao and the rest to the banquet hall.
When the few of them walked in from the entrance, everyone in the banquet hall secretly looked at Ji Gao and the others.
They looked around but did not see Gu Xiao. Instead, their attention was attracted by the girl next to Ji Chen.
“Do you know which family the girl beside Ji Chen is from?”
“I have never seen her before. To be able to get so close to Ji Chen, could it be…”
“I don’t think so. There has never been a rumor in the circle that Ji Chen has a girlfriend. However, that girl has a good temperament and looks. She’s even better than Ji Yao.”
“To be compared to Ji Yao, it would be a bit of grievance to that girl, right? Ji Yao isn’t considered very good-looking either in our circle.”
“Hey, don’t you think that the girl looks a little similar to Ji Chen when they are standing together? Is she the Gu Xiao from the countryside?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the voices around immediately subsided, as if they did not dare to agree with this statement.
A busybody listened to the discussions around him and walked straight to Ji Gao with a wine glass in hand. He chatted with Ji Gao for a while before looking at Gu Xiao.
“President Ji, which family’s daughter is this? Why haven’t I seen her before? Aren’t you going to introduce her to us?”
Naturally, Ji Gao could see the amazement in the other party’s eyes. He was also happy that Gu Xiao could be a pride to him.
“This is my daughter, Xiaoxiao. I brought her here to broaden her horizons.”
Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed across the person’s eyes as he looked at Gu Xiao in surprise.
Back then, he had also seen that dull girl, but he did not expect this girl to be so beautiful after she grew up.
He laughed heartily. “President Ji is so lucky.” After praising Gu Xiao, he left with his wine glass.
Ji Yao, who had been ignored at the side, lowered her eyes and clenched her fists.
Previously, when she was in the Ji family, she was the most dazzling focus of attention. Who didn’t praise her?!
But now, she was actually the one being ignored? How could she accept this?!
