nGu Chu said bluntly, “So fake!”

n

n“Haha.” Lin Yin laughed so hard that she slapped her thigh.

n

nThen, she stopped laughing and asked again, “Oh right, Gu Wan has been missing for so many years. How did she suddenly get found?”

n

n“I asked my parents about this too, but they didn’t explain it clearly, so I didn’t ask.”

n

nLin Yin sighed. “What the hell, so mysterious?”

n

nIn the blink of an eye, it was the weekend, and Mrs. Gu’s birthday party took place as scheduled.

n

nThe party was held in the banquet hall of the Gu family mansion. With the Gu family’s status in Haicheng City, all the celebrities would come.

n

nThe orchestra on the stage played a melodious tune. The chandeliers above their heads were shining bright, and there were all kinds of expensive wines and pastries.

n

nSomeone clicked his tongue and praised, “The Gu family is really generous. This orchestra plays at the national level, so it’s not easy to invite them.”

n

nAnother person said, “Oh, how can you not know about the Gu Family? Besides, the Gu and Lin families are both famous and don’t lack money!”

n

nWhen that person heard that, he sighed, “These two families are close too. It’s true that rich people only mingle with rich people.”

n

nAt this moment, another person stood up and said, “The Feng family isn’t bad either. If not, would the Gu family have an engagement with their family?”

n

n“You’re right. However, I heard that the person who is going to marry into the Gu family has been replaced. It’s the eldest daughter of the Gu family now, Gu Wan!”

n

nAs soon as these words were said, the people around her quickly covered their mouths.

n

nGu Chu stood behind them and listened to their conversation. She slowly swallowed the red wine in her mouth.

n

nOne thing that she had to admit was that Feng Jia was such a bastard.

n

nThe rumors between them had spread all over the place. He acted as if nothing had happened and didn’t even show his face.

n

nShe was already hiding in this corner, yet she could still hear their discussions.

n

nIt was really suffocating.

n

nThen, she heard the first person ask, “Where did you hear the news from? Is It true?”

n

n“Why do I need to hear it from somewhere else? Look, they came together.”

n

nAs she spoke, she pointed at the door.

n

nGu Chu could not help but look towards the door as well.

n

nAs expected, she saw a tall figure walking over with a graceful woman standing beside him.

n

nThe man was Feng Jia, and the woman was Gu Wan.

n

nThey were both good-looking, and they had attracted the attention of many people.

n

nNaturally, this included her as well. The corners of her lips curled up into a mocking smile.

n

nThey walked towards Mr. and Mrs. Gu together. From the looks of it, they really did look like a newlywed couple.

n

nSeeing this, Gu Chu tightened the wine glass in her hand.

n

nDidn’t he say that he was on a business trip and didn’t have time to attend the birthday party?

n

nGu Chu’s heart began to feel sour. Her gaze was fixated on their every move, and the more she looked at them, the darker her gaze became.

n

nAt this moment, Feng Jia suddenly looked in her direction. She subconsciously hid behind the pillar again.

n

nAfter hiding, she wondered why she was hiding? She shouldn’t be the one feeling guilty!

n

nAt this moment, the group of people started their discussions again.

n

n“Look, they are toasting. It seems that the rumors are true.”

n

n“Then what do you think Gu Chu should do?”

n

n“I think, in the future, we’ll see how Gu Chu can be so arrogant. Her fiancé has been snatched away. Why is she such a piece of trash?”

n

n“She deserves it! She used to rely on her family’s power and influence to do whatever she wanted in Haicheng City. Now, she’s finally defeated by her sister! By the way, where is she? Is she too ashamed to come out?”

n

n“Must be, hahaha!”

n

nGu Chu, who was eavesdropping from behind them, snorted coldly and walked over. She asked in a deep voice, “I heard that you guys are looking for me?”

n

nThey really didn’t know that she had been behind them the entire time. Their expressions all changed.

n

n“You guys are here to attend my mother’s birthday party. On the surface, you’re being polite, but behind my back, you’re talking about my family’s affairs. That’s not appropriate, right?”

n

nShe was thinking that she had nowhere to vent her anger. Who asked them to offend her!

n

n“We didn’t mean anything by it. We were just joking,” Someone immediately said with a change of expression.

n

nGu Chu smiled. “Of course I know you were joking. If I had taken it seriously, you would have been kicked out!”

n

nThey forced a smile that was uglier than crying. “Hehe, that’s right. Haha…”

n

nGu Chu pushed the wine glass forward. “You are guests. Let me give you a toast.”

n

nThen, she looked at the wine glass and said, “I’ll toast to the three of you and you should return the favor. You have to drink three glasses each, ok?”

n

nTheir faces froze. Everyone knew this party was just a show.
