Even though Tang Ruotian was calm by nature, he couldn't help but start to panic under so many eyes.
There was no way she could treat these people who wanted to have their eyes glued to her and Gu Yunjue as carrots and cabbage. If Gu Yunjue hadn't grabbed her waist, she would have run away long ago.
"Yun Jue, I thought you wouldn't come tonight." A tall and slender man walked over. His eyes passed over Tang Ruotian and rested on Gu Yun Jue.
The visitor is none other than the protagonist of this banquet, Shangguan Yang.
Unlike Shangguan Yang's warm expression, Gu Yunjue's expression was slightly cold. He nodded and said, "Today is your birthday. You and I have known each other since we were children. Why can't I come over?"
Oh? Would Gu Yunjue also say such social things? This was beyond Tang Ruotian's expectation.
Shangguan Yang didn't care about Gu Yunjue's indifference. He reached out and pulled Shangguan Minyue aside, and said to Gu Yunjue in an apologetic tone: "You have given me a lot of face by being able to come today. My little sister is still young.
, and she has always been spoiled by her family, so she accidentally bumped into you at the Royal Hotel a few days ago. Today, I apologize to you on her behalf."
Gu Yunjue pursed his lips and frowned, obviously unwilling to accept Shangguan Yang's so-called apology. From the depths of his eyes, it could be seen that he was very unwilling to face such an occasion.
"Brother...what's wrong with me!" As soon as Shangguan Minyue opened her mouth to protest, Shangguan Yang glared at her with a smile. That look made Shangguan Minyue shut her mouth.
Tang Ruotian was a little curious in her heart. Shangguan Yang's handsome appearance gave people a feeling of spring breeze, but Shangguan Minyue, an eldest lady who didn't know how high the sky was, was obedient.
Shangguan Yang continued: "Back then, you met Min Yue. When you and the old man came to the manor, Min Yue always loved to pester you and said she wanted to marry you every day. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed."
"Two days ago I took her to meet Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu said that Minyue is getting cuter and cuter, and she is a perfect match for you."
"Brother..." Shangguan Minyue's face was full of shyness, and her arrogant and domineering look was completely restrained. She mustered up the courage to look at Gu Yunjue: "Yunjue, do you still remember me?"
"I don't remember." Gu Yunjue returned dryly without even looking at her.
A hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared in Shangguan Minyue's big eyes.
Shangguan Minyue and Gu Yunjue are a good match. Since Mr. Gu has hinted at the possibility of a marriage between the Shangguan family and the Gu family, is it possible that he plans to kick her away after she gives birth to a child and marry her into the Shangguan family?
Tang Ruotian thought silently in her heart.
Shangguan Yang looked as usual, looking at Tang Ruotian with a smile, "Who is this beautiful lady?"
He seemed to have just realized Tang Ruotian's existence.
"She's my pet."
When Tang Ruotian heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. Although she had long known that she was just a pet to Gu Yunjue, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Gu Yunjue say this to others.
Shangguan Minyue's eyes flashed with contempt, she bit her lip with her white teeth and said nothing.
Shangguan Yang heard this and chuckled: "Yunjue, you have a higher eye than your head. There are very few women who suit your liking. I guess there is something outstanding about this Miss Tang that caught your attention."
Gu Yunjue's eyes moved away from Tang Ruotian and focused on Shangguan Yang.
Gu Yunjue has an extraordinary appearance and a distinguished family background. Among the younger generation in City A, he can be said to be out of place.
Among the young men in City A, even those who don't like women always have one or two women around them.
Gu Yunjue was in such a circle again, but it was extremely unusual that there were no women.
Today, he showed up at the banquet with a woman.
"What do you mean?" Gu Yunjue opened his mouth and asked.
The smile on Shangguan Yang's face deepened: "I think you should always know in your heart which women are just for fun and which women are suitable for marriage."
Gu Yunjue raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Well, why are you telling me this?"
Tang Ruotian understood the implication of Shangguan Yang's words, which was that women like her were only suitable for fun.
She felt a little bitter in her heart, Shangguan Yang was worried too much.
Just now, Gu Yunjue has personally said that she is just a pet. Since she is a pet, even if she loves her pet, she cannot marry her.
Rouyi took her hands off Gu Yunjue's arm and said calmly to Gu Yunjue: "I'm hungry, let's go find something to eat."
"Well, go ahead. If you're tired, you can try to drink some wine." Gu Yunjue's lips curled up, revealing his first smile since arriving here: "I don't mind going home with a drunk cat in my arms.
"
This coquettish fox actually lives with Gu Yunjue!
Shangguan Minyue's eyes almost burst out with fire!
"Yunjue, it's rare for you to attend this banquet. I'll introduce you to some seniors in the mall."
After Gu Yunjue and Shangguan Yang left, Tang Ruoxue walked to Shangguan Minyue, looked at Tang Ruotian who was standing in the corner, and took a sip of red wine without saying a word.
"Ruoxue, Tang Ruotian, the vixen who seduced Guan Xichen, is now with Gu Yunjue! My brother took me to see Mr. Gu two days ago. Mr. Gu wanted me to be the wife of the Gu family, but because of Tang Ruo
It's so sweet, Yun Jue doesn't even want to look at me!" Shangguan Minyue's eyes were filled with gloom.
"Minyue, don't be angry because of that kind of woman. You should know that even if you marry Yun Jue in the future, Yun Jue will not be able to only guard your woman." Tang Ruoxue said calmly.
"I'm not like you. I will never watch a vixen outside seducing my man. I will definitely teach this vixen a lesson today." Shangguan Minyue said coldly.
Tang Ruoxue narrowed her eyes: "Today is your brother's birthday, so don't mess around."
"It's my brother's birthday. All the celebrities in City A are here. I want them to see Tang Ruotian's true face. I want her to have no shame in hanging around City A and leave Yun Jue on her own initiative!"
--Dividing line--
Tang Ruotian took a glass of juice from the waiter, walked to the corner, and looked at the figure with fragrant clothes and temples, feeling a little empty in her heart.
Just now Gu Yunjue said that she was his pet, Shangguan Yang's face remained calm, but there was a flash of indifference in his eyes, and there was naked contempt and sarcasm in Shangguan Minyue's eyes, she wanted to pretend that she didn't care
, after all, it can’t be done.
After returning from the Royal Hotel that day, she didn't mention leaving again. In Gu Yunjue's eyes, she seemed to have become his pet by default.
Tang Ruotian narrowed her eyes. She didn't know Gu Yunjue's methods, but she knew what Lou Shaotang did, and his methods were very ruthless.
In Lou Shaotang's eyes, no matter what, there is no right or wrong in anything, as long as Gu Yunjue is happy.
From the corner of her eye, she saw Tang Ruoxue and Shangguan Minyue standing together. She had a fake smile on her face and raised some juice to Tang Ruoxue. Tang Ruoxue didn't seem to notice that she would do this and was stunned subconsciously, while Shangguan Minyue was obviously
She showed disgust with her and pulled Tang Ruoxue away.
Looking at their backs, Tang Ruotian felt a little upset. When she came here, she originally thought she would meet Guan Xichen, but only Tang Ruoxue appeared and Guan Xichen did not come.
She was a little disappointed, but also a little lucky. She originally thought that according to Shangguan Minyue's willfulness, he would retaliate and would definitely make her look bad on her territory, but now nothing happened.
In the center of the crowd, Gu Yunjue was the focus of everyone. She squinted at him. Standing in the crowd, he showed his usual indifference on his face. There seemed to be a trace of impatience in his blue eyes. He looked very...
Don't like this kind of situation.
Why is she wondering about him?
A trace of annoyance flashed in Tang Ruotian's eyes. He drank the juice in one gulp and just turned around, but he didn't believe that he bumped into someone's arms.
Tang Ruotian's heartbeat quickened, and she instinctively thought of the devilish man she bumped into in the community that night.
"Ah, Miss Tang, are you okay?"
not him.
Tang Ruotian raised her eyes and said, "I'm fine. I'm sorry just now."
The ordinary face of the person she bumped into had a hint of embarrassment. Tang Ruotian knew him as Liu Jun. His family background was much inferior to that of Gu Yunjue and Guan Xichen.
He is known as an honest person.
"Where, where. I am the one who should say sorry." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Liu Jun's face, but his eyes were a little panicked.
Such panic fell into Tang Ruotian's eyes, making her heart move.
You know, she turned around just now and ran into his arms. This was a dark corner. Why was he here? Still in such a panic?
"Miss Tang, please take a step to speak." He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered to Tang Ruotian.
Tang Ruotian felt a sense of alarm in her heart, "If you have anything to say, just say it right here."
She didn't have any friendship with Liu Jun, it was just a simple acquaintance. There was really nothing to say.
Seeing the alertness in her eyes, Liu Jun's eyes flashed with helplessness, "Miss Tang, I don't mean any harm."
He looked around again and seemed to find nothing suspicious. He was slightly relieved and lowered his voice and said to Tang Ruotian: "Mr. Guan asked me to come to you. He has been here a long time ago. Waiting in the garden
you."
Guan Xichen?
"You know, Miss Tang also came to this banquet. He didn't want Miss Tang to see you with him. He said that he had something to say to you. Please come."
In a short period of time, this seemed to be the only chance to see Guan Xichen. During these days, she thought a lot. The only person who could help her was Guan Xichen.
Tang Ruo nodded her head and left with Liu Jun, accidentally leaving her bag on the sofa.
--Dividing line--
Unlike the bustle in the main banquet hall, the garden is extremely quiet.
The dim yellow light falls on the quiet path and is projected into the sparkling swimming pool.
Tang Ruotian looked at Liu Jun who was keeping a step away from him in front of him, and the voices of everyone were far away behind him.
A question suddenly arose in her heart. Guan Xichen seemed to have no friendship with Liu Jun. What's more, Guan Xichen didn't want her to confront Tang Ruoxue. Since he knew that Tang Ruoxue would come to the banquet, why did he risk being discovered by Tang Ruoxue?
The dangers of meeting her?
She stopped and said calmly: "I'm not going. Tell Guan Xichen to call me if anything happens."
After saying that, she turned around, but her wrist was pinched by Liu Jun. Liu Jun was so strong that the panic on his originally ordinary and honest face became even more intense.
The alarm that had disappeared became deeper and deeper, Tang Ruotian said coldly: "Let me go! It hurts me!"
She said this, but there was no trace of pain on her face, and she did not struggle to retract her wrist. Her eyes fell on the back of the hand with veins on the wrist, and her voice became colder: "It seems that Guan Xichen is not looking for me at all.
.Liu Jun, I don’t care who instigated you, it’s too late for you to stop now. Don’t forget what day it is today and where this place is!”
"Ms. Tang, I..." Liu Jun hesitated, his face turned pale, and large drops of cold sweat ran down his forehead.
Sure enough, Liu Jun did not deny that it was not Guan Xichen who came to find her.
A flash of anger flashed in Tang Ruotian's eyes. Liu Jun has always been honest, but the most honest person was not honest today.
She calmed down and said, "I know who made you do it."
