Xia Yangyang was dumbfounded, but she had no wish to bicker with Guan Xuer. She said coldly. “Let’s leave now since we can’t get in.”

The taxi had already left so they had to walk out.

Guan Xuer was sullen and enraged. It was true that she had forged the invitation. But that was because Lin Yuanyuan was flaunting hers, so she had seized the opportunity to take a photo of the invitation when no one was looking. Then she found someone to forge one.

She had wanted to sneak into the venue, but she hadn’t expected that she would be exposed so easily. Furthermore, Xia Yangyang had witnessed everything.

Xia Yangyang wanted to leave, but Guan Xuer couldn’t take it lying down. She snapped, “I forged the invitation for the club’s sake. Since we are already here, we can’t make this a wasted trip. I have to get in.”

Xia Yangyang retorted, “How are you getting in without an invitation?”

Guan Xuer pointed to a tree at the corner next to a wall. “We can climb over.”

Xia Yangyang replied, “You’re mad. There are surveillance cameras all around. What are you going to do if you’re discovered by the security?”

Guan Xuer replied, “I’ve done my research. That tree is particularly high with leaves growing densely together, so it’s a blind spot. I have to meet Gu Qichen today. Xia Yangyang, don’t you dare ruin my plans.”

Xia Yangyang replied, “Aren’t you pregnant? How can you climb a tree?”

Guan Xuer was taken aback momentarily before she regained her composure. “So you have to help me. If I fall from the tree and lose Haotian and my baby, Haotian will hate you forever. I’m sure you don’t want that.”

She walked to the corner and began to climb the tree.

Xia Yangyang had wanted to just turn and leave. For an ordinary person to climb such a tall tree, it was already dangerous. Furthermore, she was pregnant.

Despite her unwillingness, she had no wish for any mishap to befall Guan Xuer.

And she knew Guan Xuer too well. She was obstinate and wouldn’t give up until she achieved her aim.

Xia Yangyang strode over and climbed the tree effortlessly.

She had learned martial arts since young, so she was agile and skilled. Climbing a tree was an effortless task.

Xia Yangyang pulled Guan Xuer up and she jumped down first. She would then help Guan Xuer later.

The moment she landed on her feet, barking sounds greeted her with paws pattering on the ground.

A golden retriever had pounced on Xia Yangyang, before she had stood up properly. But it didn’t bite her, and merely licked her.

Her effort had gone down the drain because of a dog.

A group of bodyguards marched over quickly and surrounded the area.

Guan Xuer was still on top of the tree, and she was escorted down by the bodyguards.

The scene was in a state of chaos. The bodyguards informed the housekeeper and he arrived swiftly. He entered a discussion with the head of the bodyguards regarding the situation.

“Xia Yangyang?”

At this time, a man called out Xia Yangyang’s name.

To her astonishment, it was Gu Chaohan.

He looked different from usual as he had put on a suit. His hair was styled neatly, and he looked even more good-looking than usual.

As he walked towards them with the sunlight shining on him, he looked like a prince walking out from a fairytale.

When the housekeeper saw Gu Chaohan, he bowed respectfully. “Young Master Gu.”

Young Master Gu?

Xia Yangyang and Guan Xuer were dumbfounded.

Gu Chaohan’s surname was Gu, and he was indeed the most popular figure on campus. But no one had linked him to the mighty and filthy rich Gu family.

The media had reported that Gu Shengyuan had a son and a daughter. His son was none other than Gu Qichen. His daughter was Gu Mingzhu, who was 17 years older than Gu Qichen. Gu Mingzhu only had one son, but no one had seen him before. It was reported that he was studying overseas.

The housekeeper had addressed Gu Chaohan as Young Master, and so it was confirmed that he had to be Gu Mingzhu’s son. He was Gu Shengyuan’s grandson and the sole descendant of the Gu family’s third generation.

Enlightenment seemed to hit Xia Yangyang at the moment. No wonder, she had found him familiar when she first saw Gu Chaohan.

It turned out that Gu Chaohan bore some resemblance to Gu Qichen.
