Transmigrating into a book and becoming a female supporting character in a sadistic novel

So when he walked to the door of the banquet hall, according to the rules, he had to shout out who had arrived. But he had already told the person at the door how to register and took on this job.

Just at this time, the person who parked the car for Bai Qianyu came back with a gift and returned the car keys to Bai Qianyu.

The manager even found two people to help them hold the gifts. Bai Qianyu couldn't help but break his composure several times when he saw that, but Jiang Qi pinched his flesh and suppressed him.

When everything was ready, the manager shouted inside: "Mr. Bai, Miss Jiang is here!"

Jiang Qi and Bai Qianyu walked in side by side. The originally noisy voices inside became quiet because of this shout. Everyone inside looked towards the door.

The banquet hall was huge. There were 100 tables for Mr. Gu's birthday banquet. Mr. Gu sat in the chairman's seat in the middle, and the remaining tables were placed on both sides, leaving a straight path. The distance between the tables was large enough to not affect walking and was spacious.

When Mr. Gu, who was sitting in the chairman's seat, saw the two of them, he immediately stood up and shouted with a smile: "Qian Yu, Jiang girl, why are you two here just now? Come on, come here quickly."

Jiang Qi also raised a standard smile on her face and walked towards the chairman's seat with Bai Qianyu in a dignified pace. The waiter with gifts followed behind. Gu Jingcheng, who was sitting next to Mr. Gu, also stood up and greeted the two of them.

After approaching them, he asked softly, "What's wrong with you two? Why are you here so late?"

But all he got was a vicious glare from the two of them in a scene that only he could see but no one else could.

Gu Jingcheng looked confused.

Jiang Qi and Bai Qianyu walked around him and looked at Mr. Gu who was sitting in the main seat.

Jiang Qi spoke first: "I'm sorry, Grandpa Gu, we got stuck on the road and got off, so we're late." Her voice was soft and gentle. Jiang Qi's mother had asked her to do so, so she usually spoke like this when she was outside. Because of the plot requirements, Jiang Qi didn't rush in the morning, and even deliberately delayed time.

"Yes, I'm really sorry, Grandpa Gu." Bai Qianyu also echoed.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm glad you're here." Old Master Gu laughed heartily twice.

"Grandpa Gu, I'm glad you're not angry. These are the birthday gifts that Qian Yu and I prepared for you. Please don't dislike them." Jiang Qi said as he moved aside a little to let the people behind him bring up the gifts.

The two boxes at the back were opened. Bai Qianyu found that this was a brocade box with a Yaohe inkstone inside. The surrounding patterns were also carved smoothly.

When Jiang Qi's sandalwood box was opened, the contents were revealed. Since they were all from wealthy families, there was no uproar, but a few barely audible gasps could still be heard.

Although it was not stated which gift was whose, it was clear that the jade carving was definitely Jiang Qi's.

It's not that they look down on Bai Qianyu. Although they are not experts, they still have a good eye. Just talking about the value of the item, not to mention him, there are not many people in the capital who have the ability and connections to get this item like the Jiang family, and are generous enough to give it away.

Gu Jingcheng looked at this thing, raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Qi in disbelief. He knew exactly how much effort Jiang Qi had put into getting this thing. He used all means, including coercion, inducement, and soft and hard tactics to get it back. Just give it away like this?

"Hey, I feel embarrassed to let you two youngsters spend money on an old guy like me."

"I'm glad you don't mind. Qiqi wishes you good fortune and a long life."

"I also wish you a happy and healthy life every year."

Bai Qianyu followed Jiang Qi and gave a congratulatory speech.

"Okay, okay!" Mr. Gu smiled cheerfully and waved his hand. The butler behind him immediately stepped forward to take the gifts from the two and put them away. Then Mr. Gu continued, "Come on, Xiao Qianyu, please take your seat first." He pointed to a table not far away.

Someone immediately stepped forward to lead the way for Bai Qianyu. Bai Qianyu looked at Jiang Qi and wanted to call her, but Mr. Gu spoke first, "Jiang girl, wait a moment."

Then he stood up and pulled Su Muqing who was sitting next to him and said to Jiang Qi: "Come here, you just came back and you don't know me yet, let me introduce you. This is Qingqing, Jingcheng's wife, your sister-in-law." Then he turned to Su Muqing and said: "This Jiang girl, Jiang Qi, Jingcheng's godsister, come and say hello."

Everyone present was smart. As soon as Mr. Gu said this, they all understood that he was helping Su Muqing assert her sovereignty, telling Jiang Qi and them that Su Muqing was the Gu family's designated daughter-in-law.

They all knew what Jiang Qi and Gu Jingcheng's past was like. They had been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years and Gu Jingcheng had even proposed to her, although he later said it was a joke, but who would believe it?

They all thought that Jiang Qi and Gu Jingcheng would definitely be together, otherwise there would be no ending.

Although it is a new society, families like them still adhere to the old principles and rules and pay more attention to reputation. A girl like Jiang Qi has been so close to Gu Jingcheng since she was a child. Although he is her foster brother, he is not a biological brother. If Gu Jingcheng doesn't marry her, she can't marry anyone else. Because her reputation is not good, at least no one in this class dares to marry her, even if the power behind her family is so powerful.

And now they all have the mentality of watching the fun and not minding the big trouble. Mr. Gu's move today is to tell them directly that his Gu family already has someone and it is impossible for him to want Jiang Qi. She and Gu Jingcheng can only be brother and sister at most.

Originally this was something that was only done in secret, and although it was not said explicitly, everyone knew it. But now it was laid out in the open in front of everyone. Mr. Gu was undoubtedly embarrassing Jiang Qi by doing this.

They are now a little curious about what will happen to Jiang Qi?

Actually, they were quite puzzled. In their eyes, Jiang Qi was a real lady from a noble family, with elegant manners, polite conversation, gentleness, courtesy, modesty, and restraint. Moreover, the Jiang family had a profound family background and strict family education, not to mention the power behind the family. In their circle, she was the best candidate for marriage in every aspect.

But Mr. Gu just doesn't like her and only likes the eldest daughter of the Su family. It's not that Su Muqing is not good, but she is indeed inferior to Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi still had the smile on her face at this moment, without any change. First of all, she knew the plot, so she was mentally prepared. Secondly, even if she didn't know, she couldn't lose her composure in such an occasion.

Because she was standing in front of these people, representing not herself but her family and her uncle's family, because her family was the only close relative of her uncle. Her family didn't matter, but her uncle couldn't be tainted by anyone. Even if it was just a small topic of gossip. This was why Jiang Qi had always been taught by Jiang's mother to be low-key.

This is why Mr. Gu dared to embarrass her like this. He was sure that Jiang Qi would not dare to turn hostile even if she was angry, and could only admit the matter with a pleasant face. She had to admit that Gu Jingcheng and she were just siblings. There was no possibility that she would have an ambiguous relationship with Gu Jingcheng in the future.

But Su Muqing had no idea that Mr. Gu would do this, and his face was obviously stunned. His first reaction was to quickly look up in the direction of Gu Jingcheng. He would definitely be angry if Mr. Gu did this.
