Chapter 76: The Second City

  "What's up?" I looked at Gu Liu Yi, who had become more and more elegant over the years, and asked casually.

  Gu Liuyi glanced at me and said, "Follow me in a while, don't run around."

  I gave him a white eye and said discontentedly: "Do you think I'm still a three-year-old kid?"

  "Have you grown up? All the big things were handled by me, and you didn't even care about the foundation's affairs. I called you back home but you didn't come." Gu Liu Ying frowned and said: "I heard that now you don't even attend classes, what's going on?"

  "This... has a reason." My momentum suddenly weakened, and I muttered: "The last time was so unpleasant, I haven't even prepared myself mentally to go back yet."

  Gu Liuyi fell silent for a moment before letting out a soft sigh, her tense expression finally easing up a bit. "Don't be reckless, no one blames you."

  I just nodded and perfunctorily said: "When I have time, I will go back."

  "After the school celebration is over, I'll pick you up and we can go back together." Gu Liu said with a tone that brooked no argument, clearly not buying my excuse.

  I pursed my lips and could only nod in response.

  Gu Liuyi is a man of his word, and although he has been good to me and given me a lot of leeway over the years, when it comes to matters of principle, he still has his own unwavering stance.

  So I stood obediently beside Gu Liuyi, watching as people constantly came up to exchange pleasantries and chat, all of which Gu Liuyi handled with ease and poise. These years of experience in the business world had added a few more points to the honor and prestige that came with the name Gu Liuyi.

  I just smiled and maintained the elegance and reserve of a lady who takes care of her family.

  When I entered the venue, I was still following Gu Liuyi. Our appearance drew everyone's attention. Gu Liuyi's extremely high popularity combined with my small fame was enough to set the entire scene abuzz.

  "Look! That's the young master and miss of the Gu family!" I received many envious glances, and I could even clearly hear the whispers and discussions coming from the crowd.

  "Is that the eldest daughter of the Gu family? The one who has caught our Gentleman King Li Yangqing's eye, she's really beautiful!"

  "She was born with a golden spoon in her mouth, the daughter of a wealthy family, and now she's taken over A University and established the Gu Foundation, her net worth is not ordinary!"

  "But I heard that her mother is the mistress of Mr. Gu, and in other words, this young lady is an illegitimate child? It seems that Mr. Gu even divorced his own wife to bring them into the family!"

  Everyone has their own say, with all sorts of opinions being expressed.

  I'm in a position that everyone envies, but I don't think this life is good. While so many people are envying me, no one knows that I also envy those people.

  This is probably what it means to be unaware of one's blessings when they are present.

  I and Gu Liu entered the seat, but the position on the right was always empty. I raised an eyebrow in surprise, shouldn't Xia Lingcheng, Ning Jing's boyfriend, be here already?

  Just then, the man on Gu Liu's right side said to him, "I thought it was just Young Master Qiao who wouldn't come, but I didn't expect Young Master Xia not to show up either. Eldest Young Master, should we withdraw his seat?"

  That man I know is the vice principal of A University.

  "Isn't Xia Lingcheng coming?" I couldn't help but exclaim, and then received Gu Liuyi's complex gaze. The vice principal looked at Gu Liuyi for a moment, explaining to me: "Yes, it seems that Mrs. Xia is not feeling well, and Young Master Xia is accompanying her, really can't get away."

  I nodded, but I didn't know if Ningjing knew about this matter or not.

  "Are you familiar with him?" Gu Liu asked casually.

  I was taken aback and shook my head firmly: "Not very familiar, just met him twice. I'm familiar with his girlfriend." After thinking for a moment, I added: "Also met his sister once."

  Gu Liuyu didn't say another word, his face a picture of profound mystery.
