Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Qianxun saw Long Sijue and Lan Qingcheng too. Lan Qingcheng immediately tried to grab the arm of the man beside her to announce her owners.h.i.+p of him, but Long Sijue raised his hand and grabbed a wine gla.s.s from the table, dodging her hand without making it obvious.
A little upset, Su Qianxun furrowed her eyebrows. ‘Why did he ask me to come here if he’s with his fiancee?’
“Come on, chick. Let’s go and have some food!” Tang Zui could tell that the young woman was unhappy, so he led her to the banquet table to get some food.…..
……
Gu Mian attended the charity dinner with Gu Ling. Gu Ling looked rather excited, for he was not usually qualified to attend such a cla.s.sy banquet.
“What the h.e.l.l are you doing? Could it be that this invitation card is forged?” Gu Mian eyed her older brother suspiciously.
“Why would I do this? Don’t think too much. Just enjoy the dinner with your older brother.” Gu Ling adjusted his necktie.
Gu Mian stayed silent for a while. She suddenly thought of something and said, “Can you transfer 200,000 RMB to me?”
“What? What do you want 200,000 RMB for?”
“To pay my debts. Don’t tell me that you can’t even afford 200,000 RMB right now?” Gu Mian intended to pay back the 200,000 RMB she borrowed from Tang Ming to pay for her father’s surgery first.
Since she had already signed a mistress agreement with Tang Zui, she no longer wanted to have an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p with Tang Ming.
“Yes, definitely. But I need to talk to the company’s finance department about this first. I’ll transfer the cash to you tomorrow?”
“Anything will do.” Gu Mian no longer had any expectations when it came to her older brother nowadays.
By the time Gu Mian and Gu Ling arrived at the banquet hall where the charity dinner was being held, there were already many guests inside. Even though Tang Zui was with Su Qianxun, he kept looking at the entrance. When he saw Gu Ling entering the banquet hall along with Gu Mian, he sucked in a sharp breath.
This was the first time Tang Zui had seen Gu Mian dress up. She was wearing a pink knee-length dress. Her long, black and straight hair framed her delicate face, which had a dash of powder on it. Her skin looked extremely fair and elastic. Even though she was not astonis.h.i.+ngly beautiful, she was like fresh springwater that could brighten up a person’s heart, with just the right dash of gentleness and innocence.
“Tang Zui, what are you looking so attentively at?” Su Qianxun put down the small fork in her hand and followed Tang Zui’s gaze. She immediately saw Gu Mian.
Su Qianxun quickly waved at Gu Mian. When Gu Mian saw Su Qianxun, she naturally saw Tang Zui too. She understood what was going on almost immediately. Gu Mian glared at the man beside her in annoyance. Gu Ling giggled a few times and immediately looked for an excuse to flee.
There was nothing else that Gu Mian could do. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over to Su Qianxun.
This was when Tang Zui’s cell phone rang, and he answered the call and left. Only then did Gu Mian breathe an internal sigh of relief.
“Mian Mian, it’s great that you’re here. At least I have a friend here.” Su Qianxun grabbed her hand.
Gu Mian smiled at her. Just as Gu Mian was about to sit down, Tang Zui returned and said, “Both of you, do come with me.”
“Where are we going?” Su Qianxun asked with furrowed eyebrows.
“You’ll know when we get there.” Tang Zui started walking, and Su Qianxun and Gu Mian had no choice but to follow his lead.
Tang Zui brought the two young women to a rest area behind the banquet hall. He knocked on the door of one of the rooms and gestured for Su Qianxun to go in.
Before Su Qianxun could react, a large hand had already reached out and pulled her in.
Tang Zui shut the door. Gu Mian and him were the only ones left outside the door. Gu Mian sucked in a sharp breath and instinctively tried to inch backwards.
Tang Zui reached out and grabbed her wrist. He then dragged her to the room opposite the one Su Qianxun was in.
After pulling Su Qianxun into the room, Long Sijue pinned her against the wall and fixed his gaze on her. When Su Qianxun thought about what happened earlier today, she felt somehow diffident, and she was so anxious that she was almost out of breath.
