All eyes turned to Yu Shu.
Crossing her arms before her chest, the young missy of the Qin family sarcastically snapped, "Ms. Yu, I believe who we invite to attend our family’s banquet has nothing to do with you."
The snide remark caused her expression to crack a little, but she swiftly assumed her usual, perfect composure and ignored everyone. Everyone around them silently looked at her and they found the mood to be somewhat strange and awkward.
Even He Yidu thought that Lu Chengzhou had allowed her to hang out with them because there was some relation, though the other man never once mentioned anything about her.
Besides, given the relationship between the Yu and the Lu families, everyone in the capital’s social circle thought that the two families had privately agreed to have Yu Shu as Lu Chengzhou’s fiancée and all that was lacking was just their engagement ceremony. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
No one expected the appearance of Gu Mang, an especially cocky upstart.
Yet now, the three were together. Just what was this? He Yidu started to worry on Qin Fang’s behalf. He started to doubt whether the banquet could end on a good note.
As people noticed the situation, the buzz in the banquet hall died down.
Yu Shu threw a glance at Gu Mang’s simple attire before turning to Lu Chengzhou with a laugh. "Chengzhou, why didn’t you prepare a gown for Ms. Gu before coming?"
Her words held the insinuation that his date was no one important because he did not even prepare a gown for her.
Ji Heng found it strange, too. His boss had refused his offer to prepare an evening gown for her. Buying her a gown was nothing to Lu Chengzhou. Thus, the reasons could only be that she refused to wear one and that he had been fine with that.
Then again, he could not imagine Gu Mang in a gown, for she always dressed in black and white.
