Chapter 364: Chapter 362
Lin Tingyu was provoked into screaming and stomping her feet.
Qiao Jiezhe looked displeased to see his sister being taken away by someone else, and Ning Xiuyuan was equally downcast.
Qiao Qiqi was too outstanding and dazzling, something he had always known would happen one day when she stood at the top shining brightly. But what about him? Just a little hooligan who could only fight, boldly declaring he would score 500 on the exam, but in reality? He might not even reach the undergraduate cut-off line!
Thinking about the gap between them, Ning Xiuyuan felt increasingly stifled.
Jiang Yibo and Fu Xinjing noticed the boss’s mood was off. A bit nervous, they looked towards him, only to see that he had already turned around and picked up a drink.
Both of them followed with concern, not quite understanding what had happened to the boy who was so happy just now.
Qiao Yue’er looked pale, staring at the girl surrounded by everyone. She wore simple clothes but seemed to glow, suddenly making the dress that cost her over a hundred thousand feel like a joke!
Just as Qiao Yaozu was greeting guests, a waiter led someone in and excitedly said, "Sir, someone from the Gu Family in the Capital City is here!"
Qiao Dalin almost exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this, thinking it was impossible. This person could be a fraud!
The Gu Family in the Capital City, they’re an echelon above even the Rong Family!
Sun Zi was also shocked, then sneered, thinking it was unlikely. How could the Gu Family, to whom her family didn’t even have the qualification to meet, possibly come to Qiao Qiqi, a country bumpkin’s little birthday party?
The Gu Family had previously held a banquet; she talked about it with a best friend for a long time, but her best friend couldn’t bring her in!
Qiao Yaozu’s brain almost stopped working! Who came? The Gu Family from the Capital City? Was he dreaming?
The person who walked in first was a middle-aged man dressed very formally, holding a large box in both hands. He approached Qiao Qiqi and bowed respectfully, "Hello Miss Qiao, I am the head butler of the Gu Family, ordered by my master to specially come to celebrate Miss Qiao’s birthday!"
Qiao Qiqi didn’t expect Mr. Gu to send someone, and asked, "Is Mr. Gu feeling much better?"
"Thanks to you, Miss, our master has improved significantly. Although his spirits are still low, he is recovering."
"That’s good to hear."
A guest arrived, and as the male host, Qiao Yaozu immediately wanted to come over, only to be grabbed by Qiao Dalin, "Second Brother, make sure you don’t get deceived! Could this be orchestrated by Qiqi herself? How could the Gu Family attend a little girl’s birthday party?"
Qiao Yaozu was instantly displeased upon hearing this. No matter how impressive the Gu Family was, they were still people. Why couldn’t they come to his daughter’s birthday party?
"Exactly, Second Uncle, I’ve met members of the Gu Family, and they’re not just anyone you can connect with! This person must be fake!"
Just as Sun Zi finished speaking, Rong Yuan got up and walked over, greeting the visitor with a smile, "Uncle Fu, I didn’t expect you to come in person. Is Grandpa Gu’s health much better?"
"Ah, it’s Young Master Rong. The master is much better now. This time, he expresses thanks to Elder Rong for the strong recommendation, or else our master wouldn’t have recovered so quickly." The head butler responded very politely.
Qiao Dalin, "..."
Sun Zi, "..."
Both felt a sting on their faces.
They had just said the person was an impostor, but Rong Yuan personally went over to confirm it. Everyone knew the Rong and Gu Families were close; could Rong Yuan really mistake a member of the Gu Family?
