Gong Yucheng touched Gu Huaizhi's arm and raised his chin in the direction of Xu Wan.

Gu Huaizhi looked over and didn't know if it was because of the lighting, but Xu Wan looked even better today than when he saw her in the fitting room.

Xu Wan has fair skin, and the blue dress outlines her exquisite figure. Her originally seaweed-like curly hair is tied up, making her look like a princess from a fairy tale.

As soon as Xu Wan appeared in the hall, she became the focus, after all, she was one of the protagonists in the love triangle.

It is human instinct to love watching plays, and the upper class is no exception.

They didn't expect Xu Wan to dare to come, and subconsciously looked at Gu Huaizhi's expression. After all, today was nominally a banquet held by the Gu family for Mrs. Gu, and Xu Wan's appearance here was obviously a very embarrassing scene.

The man always had a calm expression on his face, and his deep eyes were fixed on Xu Wan.

Hey? Where's Mrs. Gu? How come I haven't even seen the shadow of Mrs. Gu yet?

Before Xu Wan had taken two steps, he was blocked again.

"Xiao Wan, you've really changed a lot since you grew up. Your aunt almost didn't recognize you." A middle-aged woman with a smile on her face came up to them, accompanied by a man in a suit and tie.

"This is your great uncle, introduce him to Mr. Gu."

Xu Wan just stared at them with a strange look in his eyes, "Who are you?"

Zhang's smile froze on her face, "Xiao Wan, what nonsense are you talking about."

"Hey, Wanwan!" Jiang Nana suddenly appeared and hugged Xu Wan's shoulders. When she looked up and saw the newcomer, she showed a look of disdain and criticism: "How dare you show up here?"

"Who are you? This is our Xu family's affair." Xu Zhihong said in a deep voice.

"How funny! Didn't you already kick Xu Wan out of the Xu family? Why are you saying it's Xu family's family affair now?" Jiang Nana said bluntly.

"Xiao Wan hasn't said anything yet. Is it your turn as an outsider to speak?" Zhang said sarcastically.

"Just because she doesn't say anything doesn't mean you're not shameless."

"How do you talk to your elders? You're so uneducated."

"Education? Education should be shown to educated people, not to uneducated people!"

"you--"

"Xu Wan, you say!" Jiang Nana immediately looked at Xu Wan.

Xu Wan smiled slightly and said, "It's quite shameless."

"Let's go, ignore them." Jiang Nana pulled Xu Wan and was about to leave.

Xu Zhihong and Zhang both looked very unhappy. They didn't expect that Xu Wan would not give them face in front of so many people.

Even if Gu Huaizhi likes her, she is an orphan without the support of her family. Even if she can take the position of Mrs. Gu, how long can it last?

"Xu Wan, I advise you to think it over carefully. We all prosper together and suffer together. You will have to rely on the Xu family in the future." Xu Zhihong's expression was cold.

Xu Wan turned to look at him, with a mocking smile on his face, "In that case, uncle, can you return the shares you tricked me into transferring to you?"

All of a sudden, all kinds of strange looks fell on the Xu couple. The incident involving Xu Wan had caused such a big fuss that even if they didn't specifically inquire about it, they had heard some rumors. Naturally, they knew what shameful things the Xu couple had done.

The Xu couple now became the clowns of the entire banquet.

"What do you mean by lying? Xu Wan, why are you talking so harshly?" Zhang couldn't help but burst out, "Xu Wan, you were young at the time, and your uncle and I asked you to transfer your shares to him first so that we could better manage the company. He has worked diligently for so many years for your parents' hard work. Isn't it too disheartening for you to say such things?"

Xu Wan looked at them calmly: "That uncle is really hardworking. He is so hardworking that he is afraid that I will be too tired to eat, so he won't let me eat--"

Zhang interrupted her and said, "Xu Wan, we haven't said anything about you yet! The Xu family is innocent, how could you be a mistress? You have brought shame to the Xu family! If your parents knew, how heartbroken they would be!"

His expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book. One second he was telling her to seize the opportunity to get promoted, but when he saw that she was not listening, he spoke out to punish her in the next second.

"You are the mistresses! Your whole family is a mistress!" Jiang Nana cursed back angrily. After she finished cursing, she realized something and immediately looked at Xu Wan, "Except Xu Wan, of course."

"The Xu family has only her as a mistress, and she has brought shame to all the ancestors of the Xu family!" Zhang said with a red face.

"Hmph! Today we are going to clean up the Xu family. It was Xu Wan who let Mrs. Gu down. Her uncle and I couldn't persuade her, and we are also heartbroken." Zhang spoke loudly, looking at the people around her, judging Xu Wan.

For a moment, everyone looked at them and whispered to each other. No matter whether it was the Xu couple or Xu Wan, they were just fun in their eyes.

"Coming?" a deep voice came.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw a cold and noble man. They couldn't help but make way for Gu Huaizhi to walk in front of Xu Wan.

"Yeah." Xu Wan nodded at him.

"Let's go, the party is about to start." Without even looking at anyone, he took her hand and walked forward.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp. Although there had been rumors that Gu Huaizhi and Xu Wan had a special relationship, it was still incredible to see it with their own eyes.

At the very least, this was a banquet held for Mrs. Gu. Gu Huaizhi's behavior was too disrespectful to Mrs. Gu's reputation. It seemed that there would really be a big drama today.

With their fingers intertwined and feeling the warmth of their fingertips, Xu Wan couldn't help but look up at the back of Gu Huaizhi's head, feeling a reliable sense of security.

The media who were invited in were snapping photos frantically. This was big news, and they even had explosive headlines ready.

The Xu couple looked unhappy and didn't know what to do.

I originally thought that Gu Huaizhi would not give Xu Wan any special treatment out of consideration for Mrs. Gu's reputation, but I didn't expect him to go straight up and hold her hand.

"Mrs. Gu is here!" Someone said.

For a moment, everyone looked towards the door, with a hint of anticipation.

"Why hasn't Mrs. Gu come out yet?"

"I guess she came with Madam Gu. I heard that Mrs. Gu was chosen by Madam Gu herself."

"This is going to be interesting. It seems that it was Old Madam Gu who advocated the adoption of Xu Wan."

"It's really rare. I used to think that Gu Huaizhi wasn't into women and didn't have any gossip about him. I didn't expect that he would have such explosive gossip right away!"

"Isn't it? Gu Huaizhi is that kid from someone else's family. He hurt me so much when I was a kid. I didn't expect to see him perform today. Hahaha."

There are many people who take pleasure in other people's misfortunes.

With a God's perspective, Jiang Nana really wanted to know what expressions these people would have when they knew the truth. As she glanced across the crowd, she saw a familiar figure.

Damn flip phone man!
