Translator: 549690339
“Mom, don’t be upset, today is a day of great joy for our Gu family. Just look at Qingxin, how she has grown, she is beautiful.”
Zhou Mantong warmly walked over and affectionately took Gu Qingxin’s hand.
Just now Gu Qingxin had talked back to the Gu family matriarch, drawing the attention of many. They thought Gu Qingxin was too thoughtless, but when they saw Zhou Mantong, her stepmother, being so kind to her stepdaughter, they began to approve of her more.
Gu Yunci had already noticed Tang Rongling’s change of attitude towards Gu Qingxin. Her eyes fell on Gu Qingxin’s elfin-like face, she wished she could use a knife to destroy her looks!
Gu Qingxin indifferently withdrew her hand. This woman had pretended to be her mother’s close friend but ended up hurting her the most.
Now her mother lay in the hospital, unable to speak, yet this woman was dressed in finery, throwing an engagement party for her daughter with jewels shining…
“What’s the use of being beautiful? Kicked out by a stepmother, and even her fiance of many years has to be given to her stepsister…” the corner of Gu Qingxin’s mouth curved sarcastically.
Zhou Mantong was free to build her image, but she wasn’t going to step on her, Gu Qingxin. She was young, but she wasn’t stupid. Zhou Mantong’s intentions were clear as day…
“Little sister, don’t spout nonsense, Ah Ling has always been my fiance.”
For the sake of the reputation of the Gu Family and Gu Yunci, they have been falsely claiming that Tang Rongling was originally engaged to Gu Yunci, covering up the fact that he was actually engaged to Gu Qingxin.
“Really? The adopted son of the Gu family, the vice president of the Gu Group… was engaged to the daughter of a Gu family servant?”
Gu Qingxin’s voice wasn’t loud, but like her, it was ethereal and sweet, so good to hear it was like jewels falling into a plate. Therefore, everyone heard her words clearly.
Gu Qingxin’s words caused Zhou Mantong’s expression to falter. She could not stand it when her past was brought up…
“Go in! If you dare create a scene again, you’ll bear the consequences!”
Gu Huai An’s face could no longer hide his annoyance. Today’s guests were not just family friends, but also business partners. He did not want them to know about the disunity in his family.
Towards this father, Gu Qingxin’s heart had truly numbed. Therefore, no matter what he said, she felt nothing.
Her delicate face still wore a becoming smile, Gu Qingxin was not only beautiful in appearance but also possessed a clean demeanor and spirit that endeared others toward her. Her high and dignified walking posture emitted an inexplicable noble aura…
Originally, Gu Yunci had spent much effort on her appearance to stand out, but compared to Gu Qingxin, she paled in comparison. Gu Qingxin had become the focus of the entire room…
Gu Yunci’s hand tightly clenched her skirt, nearly crushing the fabric. Zhou Mantong noticed her daughter was unable to keep calm. She took a deep breath, moved to her daughter’s side, and softly shook her head…
After entering, Gu Qingxin found a quiet place to rest. She wished that the engagement party would end soon.
During the party, Gu Qingxin went to the restroom. When she stepped out, she lifted her head and saw Tang Rongling standing outside. His eyes were so deep they were frightening.
She was unfamiliar with this version of Tang Rongling. Her heartbeat quickened unaccountably. She calmly walked up to the sink to wash her hands, hoping he would leave soon, but he showed no signs of leaving.. His gaze made her feel almost impaled…
