Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Hai Tang and Gu Song were pulled into the tea party by the overly enthusiastic rich ladies. However, neither Hai Tang nor Gu Song was good at socializing. Faced with the various topics between middle-aged ladies, they did not know what to say.
However, the others all wanted to build a good relationship with the Gu family, so they would mention Hai Tang or Gu Song from time to time and forcefully communicate a few words.
For example, Lady Number One affectionately held Hai Tangâs hand and said, âMadam Gu, do you like to ride horses?â There are a few ponies coming to my horse farm recently. One of them is a white dwarf horse that is especially cute. Iâll send it to your manor one day.â
Hai Tang smiled and waved her hand.â Thank you for your kindness. Uh, but I donât know how to ride a horse. Iâm also a little afraid of horses.â
Seeing this, another noblewoman said to Hai Tang,âThen, Mrs. Gu, do you perhaps like listening to musics?â Thereâs a concert in two days. Shall we go together?â
âAiya, I wanted to ask Mrs. Gu out for a massage. Why did you beat me to it?â Lady Number Three interrupted.
Hai Tangâs smile was a little stiff as she declined.â Iâm sorry. I have something to do recently. Iâve been quite busy. Iâll definitely do it next time.â
Gu Song also received the same treatment, but her response was completely different from Hai Tangâs.
âMiss Gu, youâre in your twenties, right? Did your family pick a husband for you?â Lady Number Four asked curiously.
âIâm not interested in men. I like to experiment,â Gu Song replied righteously.
Lady Number Four was still unwilling to give up.â Oh, thatâs because I havenât met anyone I like. Actually, my nephew is very outstanding. Heâs studying abroad for his Masterâs and PhD. He has a good personality..
âThis is not the type I like,â Gu Song said without waiting for Lady No. 4 to finish her promotion.
âWhat style is that? Miss Gu, there are quite a few young men in our family. If we can get married to the Gu family, that would be a great news.â Lady Number Five said hurriedly.
Gu Song took a deep breath, then looked straight ahead and lied through his teeth.â I like the kind of man who is cute and obedient, but also powerful and strong. Itâs best if heâs uncultured, because Iâm afraid that I canât fool him if heâs too smart. Moreover, he has to have a good financial foundation. Itâs best if heâs only stronger than my brother, Gu Yun. Thereâs also a hard condition that his leg hair has to be white. Iâll vomit if I see leg hair of other colors. Oh right, thereâs one more thingâ¦â
â Uh, alright, alright. We got it. Miss Gu, you donât have to say anymore.â The noblewomen listened to Gu Songâs nonsense until their hearts were in turmoil. Their expressions were more complicated than the one before, and they hurriedly stopped her.
After staying in the tea party of the noblewomen for a short while, Gu Song could not take it anymore and escaped with Hai Tang in the name of the upper toilet.
â Phew, so this is how socializing with rich ladies is like. I really canât imagine how my mother endured it.â Once out of the VIP box, Gu Song heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Hai Tang also felt much more relaxed.â Maybe this is why your mother didnât come to the party,â she said with a sigh.
The two of them chatted and casually walked into the hall. In the middle of the hall, a musician in a suit was playing the violin.
Around the seats, there were some women in luxurious clothes who were chatting. It seemed that this was the venue of the charity banquet.
âItâs more comfortable to stay outside.â Gu Song revealed a relaxed smile and immediately pulled Hai Tang to the refreshment table to get some snacks.
Unable to find a plate or fork, Gu Song casually picked up a small cake and stuffed it into his mouth. At the same time, he said to Hai Tang,â I heard that there will be a few big stars coming to the charity gala today. Thereâs that female celebrity whoâs famous for her amazing butt, and that male celebrity who knows martial arts. Whatâs his name again? I forgotâ¦â
Just as Gu Song was stroking his chin and trying to recall the names of the celebrities, a sharp voice suddenly sounded.
âHai Tang! Why are you here?â Yu Lu walked over from the side. She scanned Hai Tang and Gu Song from head to toe with an unfriendly expression.
Gu Song was a little confused, but he still continued to take a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
She hadnât eaten dinner and was a little hungry now.
Hai Tang turned around to look at Yu Lu. She recalled how Yu Lu had lied to her before. She felt a little disgusted, so she replied coldly.â Of course I was invited..â
