Chapter 47: Birthday Three

  I pulled a gentle smile on my face and walked past Gu Shuang with an elegant and refined demeanor.

  "Dad, mom." I stood obediently beside Shen Bieru, letting her sharp eyes scan me up and down, and finally saw a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

  I secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  After all, it was a public occasion, so Shen Bieru's attitude towards me improved a lot. She only said to Qiao Yunge: "This is my daughter Gu Qing, Yunge, you should teach her more in the future."

  Qiao Yun Ge smiled gently, with a hint of depth in her eyes as she looked at me, and said to Shen Bi Ru: "I've already met Ah Jian once before, thanks to Liu Yu." She directly linked arms with Gu Liu Yu, her tone sincere and friendly.

  Gu Liuyi glanced at her and didn't refuse, his expression slightly tired.

  I was dismissive in my heart, but on the surface I had to put on a surprised and grateful face, saying: "Hello Miss Qiao, thanks again for sending me back to school last time."

  "Don't be polite." Qiao Yunge's gaze fell lightly on my evening gown and then shifted away just as lightly.

  Shen Bieru looked at me and smiled, asking Qiao Yunge: "Why hasn't Young Master Qiao arrived yet?"

  Qiao Yun smiled brightly, "Nan Mu and my parents are on their way, they'll be here soon. My older brother really couldn't get away, so I came ahead to pay respects to Uncle and Aunt first."

  Shen Bi Ru looked like she was extremely satisfied with Qiao Yun's song, "No need to be polite, we're all family anyway, sooner or later we'll meet again."

  It seems that Qiao Yunge and Gu Liuyi's matter is already 80% settled. Not many girls can catch Shen Bieru's eye, and Qiao Yunge indeed has her ways.

  I felt a little helpless and glanced into Gu Chen's deep eyes.

  Gu Huamin and Shen Bieru also went to respond, and for a time many people came over. Fang Mingyue saw Gu Chen finally appear, and she eagerly asked him questions from all sides.

  I quietly retreated, wanting to reduce my presence, but Qiao Yunge pulled me back with a gentle tone and said: "If you don't take this step, you'll never understand how different our world is from others."

  "You... I think making a scene in public is not a wise choice, so I forcibly suppressed my anger and said in a low voice: 'What do you want? I don't want to talk to you.'"

  Even in front of Qiao Yunge, I had never thought of hiding the fact that I disliked her. Qiao Yunge seemed to know this too, but she didn't get angry at all. With a good temper, she explained to me: "Gu Qing, when will you ever grow up? Even if you want to keep a low profile, your identity is there, and you are the young lady of the Gu family after all. Every move you make represents the Gu family. You probably never knew what your identity really means, maybe it's because they protected you too well, I just want you to see reality."

  Qiao Yunge pointed to a group of people not far away and said slowly, "The girls gathered there are all rich and wealthy young ladies. Getting close to them won't do you any harm. You should be living in a bright and beautiful world, not always retreating to a small corner."

  The girls there are all beautiful and lovely, with every move revealing good breeding. People who can come to this gathering are not ordinary people, I think that apart from Su Yan and the others, anyone you pick out at random here is probably a descendant of a noble family.
