Chapter 867: 867 They got engaged (8)
The next peak moment at the scene was when Eleven got out of the car.
Everyone initially thought it was just Madam Shang, not much of a media stir, but just a second later, someone shouted, and suddenly, there was a surge of people all pushing toward Eleven.
Eleven was startled for a moment, patted her chest; thankfully, bodyguards were there to block...
Otherwise, this crowd might have devoured her.
"Mrs. Gu! Are you really here to attend Mr. Gu’s engagement ceremony?"
Even though they all knew her name, they still habitually called her Mrs. Gu, as if only those three words could truly represent her identity.
When she had decided to marry Gu Liancheng, Eleven had never thought that one day she would be exposed under the limelight.
Although she had considered what kind of commotion her appearance at this engagement party might cause, she hadn’t imagined that the reaction would be so fervent...
Was Xiao Man’s entrance even comparable?
She did, however, get to experience being a major celebrity a bit early...
Eleven smiled slightly, covering her face from the flashes, and said, "Isn’t the answer obvious? I’m clearly here to attend his engagement party; could it be that I’m just passing by?"
"That sounds rather sour, are you jealous?"
"Where do you hear sourness?"
"Coming to your ex-husband’s engagement party, do you think others will believe you are here with sincerity?"
"Why do I have to make others believe?" Eleven remained as calm as ever, smiling, "After all, I am not here with any sincerity."
The cameras snapped wildly.
However, just when everyone was surprised and ready to hear big news, Eleven changed her tone, "Did you really believe that by the way I said it?"
"..."
"Regardless of what I say, you won’t believe me, so there’s no need to ask these questions. Thank you, this is all I have to say."
"Mrs. Gu— Mrs. Gu, let’s talk a little more!"
The bodyguards did their job, keeping everyone outside the cordon.
They were like wild beasts that hadn’t eaten meat in a long time, leaping at the sight of delicious food.
Indeed, Eleven was the fresh, succulent meat.
As usual, everyone would pause their approach when they reached Gu Liancheng; Eleven was no exception.
She stood between Gu Liancheng and Shang Muxue, turned around, and seeming unintentionally, smiled at them, "Even if I congratulate you now, probably no one would believe my sincerity, right?"
Gu Liancheng didn’t respond, but it was Shang Muxue who smiled and said, "Why not? I hope you wish us well."
Eleven acted as if she hadn’t heard Shang Muxue, speaking to herself, "Then never mind, I won’t congratulate you!"
Besides that, she said nothing more, turning to walk away when her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
It was Gu Liancheng.
Shang Muxue moved forward a bit, not wanting others to see their intimate gesture.
"Why did you come?" Gu Liancheng frowned.
In such a setting, he didn’t want her there, especially with so many media present and the potential for chaos; he didn’t want her to face any harm, whether verbal or physical.
Recalling the phone call from Aunt Fang just now, was it to tell him Qianxun was coming?
Eleven turned back, innocently said to him, "As your ex-wife, the dear sister of my sister, how could I not come?"
That certainly wasn’t what he meant!
"Come with me."
Saying this, Gu Liancheng directly pulled Eleven by the arm inside, leaving Shang Muxue alone outside.
