"Besides, do you want Grandpa to know about you?"

What Gu Peisi said was not without reason.

Her current identity is very embarrassing. It is not good to be photographed with Lu Fei.

Not to mention the impact on Lu Fei's reputation, it would be embarrassing if it got to grandpa.

"I understand. I will pay attention next time." Shen Qingli lowered her head, feeling a little depressed.

Gu Peisi stood up, walked to Shen Qingli, looked at the top of her head, and asked her: "I heard that you went to the temple and bought a peace amulet?"

Amulet, why did he ask this? Shen Qingli was a little confused.

Gu Peisi had everything he needed. She had given him many things in the past, but he never even looked at them.

Amulets were not rare, and she didn't think he wanted one.

"Isn't it? Or did you give it to Lu Fei?"

What does this have to do with Lu Fei? Is he reminding her to keep her distance from Lu Fei?

Since he doesn't trust her, why let her come back?

"Why do you ask?"

Gu Peisi looked at her steadily without saying anything.

Shen Qingli felt a little helpless, and finally took out a amulet from her bag and placed it on his desk.

The moment he saw the amulet, Shen Qingli felt that his mood improved.

"This weekend is Grandpa He's birthday, remember to come and attend."

Grandpa He, that’s He Xingchen’s grandfather, he is seventy years old this year.

As good friends of Mr. Gu, the younger generations like them will go to celebrate his birthday on behalf of the Gu family.

Shen Qingli has never liked participating in these activities, but now she is the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, so she has no choice but to participate.

After leaving the study, Shen Qingli chose a guest room and went to sleep.

She really didn't want to stay in the same room with Gu Peisi, but fortunately Gu Peisi didn't force her.

Time flies, and it's the weekend in a blink of an eye.

Today is Mr. He’s birthday. As the head of the He family, many people come to celebrate his birthday.

In the afternoon, the designer came with a new style of dress, and Ji Tiantian and Shen Qingli chose together.

According to Ji Tiantian, those who go to the He family are all well-known figures, and Bai Chuwei will definitely not miss this opportunity to show up.

All she had to do was to overpower Bai Chuwei.

Shen Qingli didn't want to compete with Bai Chuwei. She knew that if Gu Peisi liked her, she had already lost.

Ji Tiantian didn't think so. She felt that Shen Qingli was so beautiful and it was Gu Peisi who was blind and liked the green tea type like Bai Chuwei.

Since her friend said so, Shen Qingli had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.

Ji Tiantian recommended her a golden long skirt with sparkling little diamonds on it, and the long skirt dragged on the ground.

When Shen Qingli put it on, her curvy figure was even more prominent, and with her stunning face, she looked like a beautiful mermaid.

"Lili is so beautiful." Ji Tiantian couldn't help but sigh.

Since Gu Peisi didn't know how to appreciate her beauty, there were so many young talents at the banquet, and there must be someone who liked her.

When night falls, the birthday party officially begins.

Celebrities from all walks of life went to the Park Hyatt Hotel to attend Mr. He’s birthday party.

As soon as she entered the banquet hall, it suddenly became quiet and Shen Qingli noticed everyone's gazes.

She had attended many banquets before, and she was not at all nervous about the stares.

"This must be Mrs. Gu, right? She is not with Mr. Gu. As the rumors say, Mr. Gu doesn't like her."

"You don't know yet, Mr. Gu likes Miss Bai Chuwei. Miss Bai is the daughter of the Bai family. Mrs. Gu comes from a humble family, so how can she compare to her?"

"Isn't it? If I were Mr. Gu, I would also choose Miss Bai."

Those whispered words reached Shen Qingli's ears.

In the past, she would feel uncomfortable hearing these words.

Now, she doesn't care what others think. After all, the mouth is on someone else's body, and she can't force others to say anything.

Ji Tiantian was furious and wanted to kick those people out. "Bah, these people are just too bored to care about other people's private affairs."

After that, she started to curse Gu Peisi again: "Gu Peisi, this scumbag, didn't come to help you now, leaving you to be talked about by others."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Peisi's figure slowly approached from not far away.

There was a woman standing next to him, it was Bai Chuwei!

The two of them came together, like a perfect couple.

Everyone was talking about it, praising Bai Chuwei for her beauty like a fairy and saying that Mr. Gu was so lucky.

They cast disdainful looks at Shen Qingli and looked at her mockingly, as if they were watching a joke.

Seeing this scene, Shen Qingli's lips trembled slightly, and her fingers involuntarily grasped the hem of her skirt tightly.

She thought she would take all this lightly, but she overestimated herself.

Gu Peisi's high-profile appearance with Bai Chuwei was undoubtedly a slap in her face.

She was laughed at by others, who said that Mrs. Gu was useless and couldn't even hold her husband's heart.

Gu Peisi acted as if he didn't see her and entered the banquet with Bai Chuwei.

Before leaving, Bai Chuwei turned around and gave her an ambiguous look.

That look held a hint of provocation and complacency.

"Lili, let's go. I want to see how arrogant that couple is."

When it came to the gift-giving part, Bai Chuwei excitedly took out a painting and said to Mr. He, "Grandpa He, this is the painting and calligraphy I found for Mr. Mo."

Everyone knows that Mr. Mo's ink pens are very valuable, and this painting is even more valuable and difficult to buy on the market.

This painting depicts a flying crane, symbolizing health and longevity, and is a very suitable gift for birthday celebrations.

Bai Chuwei knew that Mr. He loved collecting calligraphy and paintings, so she bought some.

Before Mr. He said anything, Shen Qingli noticed that there was something wrong with the painting.

This painting looks like it was painted by Mr. Mo, but upon closer inspection, it is a fake copy by someone else.

"There's something wrong with this painting." Shen Qingli smiled meaningfully.

Bai Chuwei's face turned red with anger when she heard this. She immediately retorted: "Ms. Shen, although there is a misunderstanding between you and me, you shouldn't slander me, right?"

She turned to look at Gu Peisi and said aggrievedly, "Brother Si, I know Miss Shen hates me, but she can't just say whatever she wants. I spent a lot of time and money to buy this painting."

Gu Peisi frowned and asked Shen Qingli directly: "Are you telling the truth?"

Shen Qingli's heart trembled. Was he suspecting that she had deliberately framed Bai Chuwei? Was he defending her like this?

Mr. He spoke, his tone very serious: "Pei Si, listen to what this girl has to say?"

He saw clearly that the kid from the Gu family actually teamed up with outsiders to bully his wife.

Can’t you see that the little girl is about to cry?

If he doesn't say a few words, if Old Man Gu finds out, he will despise him for not defending his family.

Shen Qingli restrained her expression and pointed at the painting and said, "Look, the painting looks lifelike, with cranes leaping out of the paper, but if you look closely, the brushwork is a little lacking, and the painting looks a little weird, it doesn't look like a painting by Mr. Mo."

When everyone heard Shen Qingli's solemn oath, they couldn't help but become suspicious.

Seeing that everyone believed Shen Qingli's words, Bai Chuwei bit her lower lip and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

If it is confirmed that this painting is fake, wouldn't it be a slap in her face?

What would people think of her? They would say she used a fake painting to deceive Mr. He. How could she dare to do that?

It seems that Shen Qingli has to take the blame.

Looking at Shen Qingli, Bai Chuwei's eyes flashed with hatred.

Not only did she steal her brother Si away, she also wanted to embarrass her, which she would never allow.
