Chapter 166 The roommate of the gentle double-faced senior (19)
Xia Yanran's appearance instantly attracted the attention of everyone at the dinner.
She has just turned twenty this year and is already slim, intellectual and elegant.
Her appearance may not be the prettiest at the dinner, but her aristocratic status as a daughter of a wealthy family and the cultural aura brought to her by her excellent knowledge overwhelmed almost all the ladies present.
Go down.
Those female stars wearing expensive jewelry look even more gaudy against her backdrop.
Almost everyone in the upper class knows how outstanding this eldest lady of the Xia family is.
The Xia family has actually been in decline in the past few years, but no one dares to underestimate the Xia family, just because the Xia family has produced such an outstanding daughter.
Xia Yanran has a good family background, strong abilities, and studied law at a top university in the world. She is definitely the ideal daughter-in-law of a wealthy family.
In the future, she will find a top family to marry, and the Xia family, which has gone downhill, will surely rise again, so no one dares to look down on her.
The tall, middle-aged man of mixed Chinese and English on her arm is her tutor at a foreign university, Mr. Wendi, who is proficient in the laws of many countries and is one of the best in the international legal community.
He is also the person Gu Chuan wants to get to know tonight. He also wants to be his tutor in college, but he needs to get Mr. Wen Di's letter of recommendation in advance.
Gu Chuan's plan to deal with the Gu family is very big. He has been planning for many years, one step after another, and he must not make any mistakes.
Now Xia Yanran and Mr. Wendi appeared together. Xia Yanran and he were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. They could be used as introductions. He felt that tonight was indeed not in vain.
Xia Yanran walked down the steps with Mr. Wen Di. With a decent smile on her face, she nodded and greeted everyone who was looking at her.
When she saw Gu Chuan, her expression obviously paused, as if she didn't expect Gu Chuan to come.
But she quickly reacted and smiled at Gu Chuan with her white teeth.
Bo Taoyao noticed that Gu Chuan's shoulders, which were tense just now, relaxed when Xia Yanran greeted him.
He also looked at Xia Yanran smiling, her smile was like a spring breeze, and there was a faint expectation, as if she was waiting for Xia Yanran to come over.
But after Xia Yanran walked down the steps, she was surrounded by several people before she had even taken a few steps.
Among them was Gu Chuan's father, who was particularly active. He brought Gu Yun to Xia Yanran. Without saying a few words, he said that his Gu Yun was studying abroad in the same city as Xia Yanran, and the two children could take care of each other more outside.
Something like that.
Then the intention of promoting Gu Yun to Xia Yanran should not be too obvious.
Xia Yanran could only turn her head and show an embarrassed smile to Gu Chuan, who was waiting for her not far away, which meant that there were too many people there and she couldn't escape.
Gu Chuan's eyes darkened again, and the air pressure around him instantly dropped.
Bo Taoyao complained to the scum removal system in her heart: "This bitch actually flirted with other women in front of me!"
The slag-removing system raised its nose and said, "Really? I feel like you are eating melons with great enthusiasm?"
Bo Taoyao: "Hey, you've discovered all this. It's really fun to watch a bitch like this being played with by Bai Yueguang.
Look at this Xia Yanran, she may have matured precociously. During the most painful and difficult period when Gu Chuan was a child, she served as his life mentor and guiding light for a period of time.
But now that her family has grown up, she knows that Gu Chuan may not be the heir to the Gu family in the future. She didn't contact him even when she returned to China. Now that they met at the dinner, she didn't take the initiative to come over to greet him.
This vague approach is too obvious to please both Gu Chuan's father and Gu Chuan.
You look at Gu Chuan who doesn’t care about anything, don’t you think it’s interesting to appreciate him?”
The scum-killing system revealed the secret: "I'm afraid what you appreciate is not the silly way he is played by Bai Yueguang, but the pleasure of conquering a man whose heart is not in you at all."
Bo Taoyao retorted: "Hey, how can you say that? I am trying to save an innocent young man and let him take his feelings away from the people he shouldn't spend and transfer them to the people who deserve them. Isn't this bad? I really
Do something good!"
The slag elimination system was once again amazed by Bo Taoyao's thick skin. How dare she say that she is a worthy person? How dare this woman who has experienced four worlds without being moved at all dare to say that she is a worthy person?
!
Tongzi didn't understand, but Tongzi was greatly shocked.
Xia Yanran and the others didn't chat for long before the host came on stage. She reported on the auction and donations that she had just done on the second floor.
All the guests present were high-quality people, and they immediately became quiet.
The host went through the list of guests who were willing to make the auction information public, and paid tribute to all the public and anonymous guests for their contributions to charity.
When it was reported that the ruby necklace that had been auctioned for a super high price was taken by Gu Chuan, the eyes of the audience briefly focused on him.
How good the son born to the Gu family's official wife is is is also recognized by the entire circle.
However, they also know that the Gu family's situation is special. The head of the Gu family openly favors his illegitimate son.
So no matter how good Gu Chuan is, it is still unclear who will be the head of the Gu family in the future.
But now it seems that Gu Chuan has begun to enter the public eye.
Gu Chuan, on the other hand, accepted everyone's gaze, just raised his glass and smiled at everyone calmly.
But Bo Taoyao was very excited. She stood up on tiptoes and leaned close to Gu Chuan's ear, whispering: "Look, I left your name right. Now you can make your father and cheap brother angry!"
"
Gu Chuan laughed and reached out to rub her head: "As I owe you a favor, I will definitely help you with your English until you have no problem taking the overseas registration certificate."
"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words!" Bao Taoyao didn't move away when his body was touched for the first time. She even raised her head and showed him a bright smile.
Gu Chuan brought her a glass of fruit wine with a very low alcohol content: "I see you haven't had anything to drink since you just came down. Are you thirsty? This is the fruit wine with the lowest alcohol content here. Would you like a sip?"
Bo Taoyao took it but didn't drink it. He smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm allergic to alcohol and can't drink it. I'll just take it, otherwise I'll look out of place here."
Gu Chuan was about to say that if he couldn't drink, then stop being brave and went to order him some juice.
Xia Yanran, who just smiled and nodded to him, walked over with her skirt in hand.
She walked to stand in front of Gu Chuan, smiled gently and said, "Ah Chuan, long time no see."
Gu Chuan's eyes also moved from Bo Taoyao to Xia Yanran, and nodded gently: "It's been a long time since we saw you, and we haven't contacted you for a long time. It's been so long that I don't even know when you returned to China."
Xia Yanran didn't seem to hear the complaint in Gu Chuan's words. She walked up to Gu Chuan, tapped his shoulder gently, and asked in a playful low voice: "What? Are you angry again? You have been sulking since you were a kid.
What’s your little problem? You’re so tall, so handsome, and you still can’t change it?”
"No." Gu Chuan looked away, but his voice softened.
Xia Yanran said softly like she was coaxing her close brother: "Okay, I just arrived by plane this morning. I heard my dad said that your dad doesn't plan to bring you here, but plans to bring your brother. With the relationship between your family, I...
…
I also came to this dinner with my mentor Mr. Wen Di, so it’s not convenient for me to move around at will. Didn’t I just come to see you when I had time? Don’t be angry.
Gu Chuan softened his voice: "I'm really not angry. I won't be angry with you."
