Chapter 53: Her indifference
He Yuan didn't leave, and Gu Wan couldn't really beat him out. And He Ting was very satisfied with the role played by He Yuan's sideways assist, so on He Liancheng's birthday a few days later, he was in a good mood to take him to the banquet to eat and drink.
Gu Wan wore a small blue-gray dress, such a dull color not only did not look old-fashioned, but made her skin like jade, noble and elegant.
He Yuan immediately jumped up in amazement, and did not hesitate to praise him, "Sister, you are so beautiful, like a heavenly immortal!" ”
Flam tongue seems to be a man's specialty, knowing that it is unreliable, but it will still make a woman physically and mentally happy. So Gu Wan put aside his prejudices and enjoyed He Yuan's praise.
Looking at He Ting again, the eyes that looked at Gu Wan stupidly seemed to be burning the corners of her skirt. Gu Wan shook his hair and walked in front of the two men arrogantly.
Along the way, I could only hear He Yuan's chatter. No one paid attention to him, and he didn't feel embarrassed, and he said cheerfully. Finally arrived at the He Mansion, Gu Guan's ears were finally able to clear for a while.
As soon as she got out of the car, she warned He Yuan, "Don't follow me." ”
He Yuan flashed a pair of wet eyes like a puppy, and he looked very pitiful. However, his cute tricks didn't work for Gu Guan, she glanced at him coldly, and took the lead in walking inside.
He Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "If you want to conquer my sister, an iceberg beauty, brother-in-law, you still have a long way to go." ”
He Ting smiled slightly and quickly followed.
Gu Wan first followed He Ting to meet He Liancheng, and gave him a birthday gift he prepared, a massager.
Gu Wan knew that with He Liancheng's net worth, it was estimated that no matter what gift she gave, he would not look down on her. So she didn't have to waste her mind and energy, so she chose a massager that is more popular with older people.
He Liancheng didn't care if he would like her, anyway, she bought one for Gu Shang a few days ago, and he was very happy.
In the past, she had love for He Ting, and if she encountered something like this, she would definitely go to great lengths to please his family, be nervous, and prepare carefully, but now she is so casual that she has never discussed what to send with He Ting.
He Liancheng gave Gu Guan a lot of face, so he immediately took it out and tried it, saying that it was very comfortable to use, he was very satisfied, and praised Gu Guan's filial piety again and again.
Gu Wan raised his eyebrows slightly, it seems that He Liancheng really dotes on He Ting, so Aiwu and Wu have given her enough face as a listed girlfriend, so it is no wonder that he chose He Ting, the second son, as the heir.
As he spoke, Guan Min walked over. She is still as jeweled as ever, with the image of a high-spirited lady. However, she seemed to have made some adjustments to her face, and she looked younger than the last time Gu Wan saw her.
Guan Min was also followed by a tall girl, she was wearing a small white dress, baby face, and looked gentle and lovely. She was holding Guan Min's arm, and the two of them were intimate like a mother and daughter.
Guan Min didn't have a good face when she saw Gu Guan, she glanced at Gu Wan, and when she turned to the girl, she became amiable again, "Qingqing, quickly give your gift to Uncle He." ”
The girl's name is Yuan Ziqing, the Yuan family and the He family are world friends, Yuan Ziqing and He Ting have known each other since childhood, the two of them still studied abroad together, and they also had occasional contact when they were abroad, and the relationship was not bad.
Yuan Ziqing walked up to He Liancheng, held his arm affectionately, and said like a daughter coquettish to her father, "Uncle He, in order to prepare a birthday gift for you, I ran several auctions before I got this picture of the autumn moon in the mountains, you can't say you don't like it." ”
He Liancheng patted Yuan Ziqing's hand and smiled lovingly, "Qingqing's gift, how could Uncle He not like it?" Thank you, you have a heart. ”
Yuan Ziqing smiled even sweeter, her eyebrows and eyes crooked, "As long as Uncle He likes it." Uncle He, I wish you a happy birthday, a long life, and always so handsome! ”
He Liancheng couldn't help laughing, "It's sweet in your mouth." ”
What kind of picture is that, Gu Wan has never heard of it, but since it is a collector's item, it must be worth a lot of money. In comparison, the gifts she gave were much more pale, just look at the disdainful expression that Guan Min threw at her.
However, Gu Wan has always had a momentum that is neither humble nor arrogant, no matter how noisy others are, she always looks indifferent and light, but people dare not underestimate it.
Yuan Ziqing finally saw Gu Wan at this time, she looked Gu Wan up and down quietly, and when her eyes fell on He Ting's hand that was tightly holding her, her eyes dimmed imperceptibly for a moment. ,
She raised her eyes to look at He Ting, her expression was as usual, and she asked in a sweet voice, "Brother Ting, who is this?" ”
He Ting looked at Gu Wan with a gentle expression, and introduced the two of them, "This is my girlfriend Gu Guan, Guanguan, and this is Yuan Ziqing, the daughter of my father's good friend Uncle Yuan." ”
Yuan Ziqing listened to He Ting's introduction, and her smile almost froze on her face. Gu Wan is a girlfriend, and she is not even a friend, just the daughter of her father's good friend?
Yuan Ziqing was extremely dissatisfied with the identity He Ting assigned to her, and hurriedly added, "Brother Ting and I are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. ”
Gu Guan's expression did not fluctuate at all because of this deliberately provocative remark, the smile on her face remained unchanged, and she took the lead in greeting Yuan Ziqing, "Miss Yuan, hello." ”
Yuan Ziqing flashed a pair of moist eyes, looked at Gu Guan, and praised sincerely, "Sister Guanguan, you are so good-looking." ”
Sister Guanguan? Gu Wan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly when she heard this title, if she remembered correctly, Yuan Ziqing should be the same age as her.
Because the other party has a baby face and is dressed as a girl, in the eyes of others, this sister's cry is unyielding. In this case, should you be angry that the other person is calling you old, or should you be happy that the other person has elevated your status?
Gu Wan laughed silently, ignoring Yuan Ziqing's address to her, and unceremoniously took the compliment behind, "Thank you." ”
Yuan Ziqing waited for a long time, thinking that Gu Wan would return the salute, but after her thank you fell, there was no follow-up, and her face became a little complicated for a while.
Next, He Ting took Gu Wan to meet several important guests.
He Ting's uncle was in politics, and Xu did not show up in order to avoid suspicion, but met his cousin He Ning. He Ning had a hearty temperament, and he was quite in agreement with Gu Wan, and the two chatted for a while.
Although it is He Liancheng's birthday party, it is also indispensable to socialize in the business field. He Ting was afraid that Gu Wan would feel bored and tired, so he let her go to forage for food and rest by herself.
Gu Wan found a corner and sat down, intending to rest. Guan Min caught her alone and came over and sat down beside her.
She glanced at Gu Wan and accused in a weird way, "What kind of gift did you give?" Thousands of dollars of things are embarrassed to show up, you are not ashamed, our He family is still ashamed! ”
Gu Wan's expression was faint, and he turned a deaf ear to her provocation. She didn't want to make too much noise on such an occasion, lest both sides not look good.
Guan Min didn't give up, she had to trample Gu Wan under her feet, she pointed to He Ting and Yuan Ziqing who were talking not far away, the expression on her face was mixed with pride and mockery, "See?" Only a noble-born woman like Qingqing can be worthy of Ah Ting, so don't be delusional. Tell me, how much do you want to leave him, is five million enough? ”
Gu Wan really convinced Guan Min's old idea of throwing money at her, and she said helplessly, "You should go and tell your Ah Ting these words, if you can let him let me go, don't pester me anymore, I will give you five million." ”
Guan Min's face suddenly changed by Gu Guan's words, "You don't know what to do!" ”
Gu Wan was impatient to hear her say something nasty, and got up to leave, but was stopped by Guan Min. She was about to speak, but she was pulling Gu Wan's hand away fiercely when she was pulled away by He Yuan.
He Yuan stood in front of Gu Wan and said to Guan Min mercilessly, "This aunt, you don't have the ability to take care of your son, what kind of ability is it to bully my sister?" ”
Guan Min's heart was on fire by He Yuan's aunt call, she got up suddenly, pointed at He Yuan's nose and shouted, "Who do you call aunt?" ”
Guan Min's voice was sharp and thin, and as soon as he raised the volume, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
When He Ting heard the news, he glanced at Guan Min with disgust, and even disdained to talk to her directly, and only whispered to the housekeeper beside him, "Send Mrs. back to the room to rest." ”
Guan Min was lost face in front of everyone, full of resentment and grievances, but he was afraid of He Ting's power and did not dare to refute. could only swallow his anger and glance at Gu Wan angrily before leaving.
He Ting led Gu Wan to the garden and said to her with some apologies, "You don't have to pay attention to her, she can't make any waves, that is, she is just quick to speak." ”
Gu Wan said nonchalantly, "I know, it's not the first time I've dealt with her." ”
After a pause, she couldn't help but add, "Maybe it's because you don't care about her that she will do such and such things to attract your attention." ”
He Ting was slightly stunned, is that so?
I don't remember when all of Guan Min's actions became a contribution in the eyes of the three of them, and when they refused to communicate with her, she intensified. The relationship between this family has formed a strange circle, and the cycle has turned into such a mutually incomprehensible and tense atmosphere.
It was getting late, Gu Wan looked at the gradually darkening sky, and felt a little cold, so he grabbed He Ting and said to him, "Let's go back." ”
He Ting took advantage of the situation and hugged Gu Wan into his arms, Gu Wan felt very warm, so he didn't push him away and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
He Ting buried his head in her neck and said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing, I just want to hug you." ”
It was rare that Gu Wan meekly did not refuse his contact, He Ting was thinking about going further in his heart, when he suddenly heard He Yuan's voice coming from behind him, "Sister, why did you come here, let me find it." ”
He Ting heard He Yuan's voice and the footsteps coming from behind him, and he was not the only one who wanted to come, so he reluctantly let go of Gu Wan and sharpened his knife against He Yuan in his heart.
Gu Wan turned around when he heard the sound, but he was stunned when he saw the person following He Yuan.
