Chapter 723: Chapter 306: Outshining Everyone_3

At this point, a 360-degree encompassing light focused on her, but she showed no signs of stage fright. After taking her position, she slightly raised both arms.

She didn’t fully extend her arms, as if a pre-determined gesture had only been half completed. Her face bore a mix of 70% perfunctory, 20% impatience, and 10% indifference, then she withdrew her hands, repositioning them in front of her lower abdomen and slightly leaning forward, she began speaking into the microphone—

"Thank you for coming. I don’t have anything special to say, I just hope you all enjoy everything my family has prepared for me."

Having said that, she nodded gently at Zuo Zongcai, then grasping the hem of her dress, she turned and left the stage from the side.

The guests below had hardly reacted when she had already drifted away like a cloud.

Getting on stage took about two minutes, but her speech and exit together lasted only 15 seconds, brisk and unexpected, leaving people gaping in astonishment.

Honestly, even Su Huai was caught off guard, let alone Zuo Zongcai who was still waiting to host.

But Zuo, with his skills, immediately found a way to smooth things over.

"What I love most about our little princess is this fierce vibe where she doesn’t care about her old uncle’s wellbeing, just like her father, familiar yet heartwarming..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd, and even Gu Tongshu couldn’t help but laugh, pointing at Zuo Zongcai.

Wang Lezhi was the only one not laughing.

She approached Gu Jiuyue, wrapping an arm around her beloved niece’s shoulder, and whispered quietly, "What’s wrong? You’re up there in such beautiful attire; why the lack of enthusiasm?"

Gu Jiuyue didn’t respond but instead turned to look for Wu asking, "Where’s my phone?"

"Here."

Wang Lezhi handed over the phone, then suddenly realized, "Oh! Is it because you texted Su and didn’t get a reply?"

Accepting her aunt’s ’smart guess,’ Gu Jiuyue wasn’t surprised and immediately opened WeChat. Upon seeing the unread message, she finally exhaled deeply.

The message was naturally from Huai, just two words: "Arrived."

He saw it?

He saw it!

Gu Jiuyue didn’t try to find where Huai was at that moment; knowing he hadn’t missed out was enough for her peace of mind.

She turned off the screen and asked with slight anticipation, "How did I look just now?"

"Stunning!"

Wang Lezhi gave two thumbs up, but then suddenly grabbed Gu’s hand and shook it, half coquettishly and half petulantly pleading,

"Oh I really love this outfit! Darling, darling, can your aunt borrow it for a day tomorrow? I won’t do anything but flaunt it around, maybe snap a few GBs of photos, and then I’ll return it to you, promise not to dirty it..."

Gu Jiuyue bristled instantly, her eyes full of wariness.

"No borrowing!"

She snatched her hand back, saying angrily, "Your husband is so rich; let him buy it for you! Borrowing a child’s clothes to wear, you have no shame!"

"For such a beautiful outfit, who needs shame?"

Wang Lezhi argued earnestly and carefreely, willing to sacrifice anyone for her cause—particularly implied.

"My husband couldn’t compete with your good friend’s thoughtfulness, excellence, attention to detail, and aesthetic sense! His gifts are just gold, jewels, cars, watches, like a pig!

Sweetheart, just let your aunt enjoy it for a day~~~

After all, you’ve already dazzled everyone tonight; I’ll go dazzle the circle of middle-aged ladies tomorrow. Together, we’ll sweep through the elite in Imperial Capital and shock them with a taste of the Su Clan’s aesthetics!"

The phrase "Su Clan’s aesthetics" was quite enticing, making Gu feel both proud and sweet.

However, an external force made her immediately regain her composure.

Gu indicated for Wang Lezhi to turn around by pursing her lips and smiling slightly, "This isn’t urgent, why don’t you first explain to the pig why he’s not thoughtful, excellent, detailed, or aesthetic..."

Wang Lezhi didn’t turn around, but perked up her ears, hearing a series of heavy breathing sounds.

Hey, on such a joyful day, someone’s feelings were warming up again...
