Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Miss Huang…” Gu Rou was about to interrupt when Huang Yue interrupted her.

“Miss Gu, I had a good chat with you today. 1 hope there will be a next time.” Huang Yue’s rejection was obvious.

Seeing this, Gu Rou could only barely maintain the smile on her face and nod.

After Huang Yue added Zhong Yao’s contact information, she did not stay here for long. She turned around and walked towards the crowded banquet.

After Huang Yue left, Gu Rou put away her expression and pulled Zhong Yao to a hidden corner.

When there was no one around, Gu Rou raised her hand and slapped Zhong Yao’s face. “You b*tch, how dare you snatch from me?”

Zhong Yao covered her red cheek and looked up at Gu Rou aggrievedly. “Cousin, I’m saving you.”

Gu Rou sneered. “Are you referring to snatching my connections? I think you’re ambitious.”

“Cousin, Huang Yue will definitely not do it herself. When the matter is exposed, you’ll be the one to suffer. The Gu family might even be implicated,” Zhong Yao said earnestly.

Gu Rou was stunned for a moment before she quickly revealed a disdainful expression. “So what? She’s just a small Gu Man.”

“If this matter isn’t exposed, then she’s just a small Gu Man. But once it’s exposed, Cousin, not only will you never have the chance to approach the Xiang Family again, you might even anger them.” Zhong Yao’s expression was especially sincere.

Gu Rou stared into her eyes and fell into deep thought. When she reacted, her back felt desolate.

Even if Huang Yue interfered in this matter, she could not guarantee that no one would find out about it. If anyone found out, Huang Yue would definitely blame her. Although it was only the Huang Family of the Wai state, it was not something that the small Gu family of Han City could offend.

After reacting, the expression on Gu Rou’s face softened slightly, but she would definitely not apologize to Zhong Yao. “Looks like 1 misunderstood you. Remember to introduce me to Huang Yue, do you hear me?!”

“Okay.” Zhong Yao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that this matter had been fooled.

Gu Rou did not continue pestering him and left the corner.

Zhong Yao stared at Gu Rou’s back with an undercurrent in her eyes. It was unknown what she was thinking.

The contents of the banquet were really a little boring. It was just a group of people chatting. There were many people who came to look for Xiang Yin, but they were all rejected by him.

Gu Man leaned against the table in boredom and looked around. At this moment, Huang Yue walked over slowly.

She held a glass of red wine in her hand and came to Gu Man. She smiled at her. “I’ve never seen this lady before? I’m Huang Yue of the Huang Family in the outer state. 1 don’t live in Han City much, but I’m going to settle down here in the future. Please guide me.”

The smile on Huang Yue’s face was appropriate, and no one could find any fault with it. Moreover, she was not here for Xiang Yin, so he could not say anything. Gu Man was a little surprised to see the woman who suddenly appeared.

Although there were many gazes sizing her up at the banquet, not many people took the initiative to come and greet her.

“Gu Man.” Gu Man introduced herself briefly and nodded slightly at Huang Yue.

There was no expression on her face, but Huang Yue inexplicably felt Gu Man’s contempt for her. She tightened her grip on the wine glass and barely maintained the expression on her face. She could not lose her composure in front of Xiang Yin.

It had to be said that Gu Man was a topic breaker. If it were anyone else, they would definitely try their best to find a topic to talk about when facing Huang Yue’s initiative. However, after Gu Man introduced herself, she stopped abruptly and had no intention of continuing the conversation.

Huang Yue could only be forced to find a topic to talk about. “I’m really fated with Miss Gu. The gowns we wore today are all of the same color.”

Halfway through her sentence, Huang Yue covered her lips and looked in Xiang Yin’s direction. As if she had just realized it, she said in surprise, “Brother Xiang, you’re also wearing a blue suit. We are really fated.”

The smile on her face looked innocent and sweet..
