Gu Chu said bluntly, “So fake!”

“Haha.” Lin Yin laughed so hard that she slapped her thigh.

Then, she stopped laughing and asked again, “Oh right, Gu Wan has been missing for so many years. How did she suddenly get found?”

“I asked my parents about this too, but they didn’t explain it clearly, so I didn’t ask.”

Lin Yin sighed. “What the hell, so mysterious?”

In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend, and Mrs. Gu’s birthday party took place as scheduled.

The party was held in the banquet hall of the Gu family mansion. With the Gu family’s status in Haicheng City, all the celebrities would come.

The orchestra on the stage played a melodious tune. The chandeliers above their heads were shining bright, and there were all kinds of expensive wines and pastries.

Someone clicked his tongue and praised, “The Gu family is really generous. This orchestra plays at the national level, so it’s not easy to invite them.”

Another person said, “Oh, how can you not know about the Gu Family? Besides, the Gu and Lin families are both famous and don’t lack money!”

When that person heard that, he sighed, “These two families are close too. It’s true that rich people only mingle with rich people.”

At this moment, another person stood up and said, “The Feng family isn’t bad either. If not, would the Gu family have an engagement with their family?”

“You’re right. However, I heard that the person who is going to marry into the Gu family has been replaced. It’s the eldest daughter of the Gu family now, Gu Wan!”

As soon as these words were said, the people around her quickly covered their mouths.

Gu Chu stood behind them and listened to their conversation. She slowly swallowed the red wine in her mouth.

One thing that she had to admit was that Feng Jia was such a bastard.

The rumors between them had spread all over the place. He acted as if nothing had happened and didn’t even show his face.

She was already hiding in this corner, yet she could still hear their discussions.

It was really suffocating.

Then, she heard the first person ask, “Where did you hear the news from? Is It true?”

“Why do I need to hear it from somewhere else? Look, they came together.”

As she spoke, she pointed at the door.

Gu Chu could not help but look towards the door as well.

As expected, she saw a tall figure walking over with a graceful woman standing beside him.

The man was Feng Jia, and the woman was Gu Wan.

They were both good-looking, and they had attracted the attention of many people.

Naturally, this included her as well. The corners of her lips curled up into a mocking smile.

They walked towards Mr. and Mrs. Gu together. From the looks of it, they really did look like a newlywed couple.

Seeing this, Gu Chu tightened the wine glass in her hand.

Didn’t he say that he was on a business trip and didn’t have time to attend the birthday party?

Gu Chu’s heart began to feel sour. Her gaze was fixated on their every move, and the more she looked at them, the darker her gaze became.

At this moment, Feng Jia suddenly looked in her direction. She subconsciously hid behind the pillar again.

After hiding, she wondered why she was hiding? She shouldn’t be the one feeling guilty!

At this moment, the group of people started their discussions again.

“Look, they are toasting. It seems that the rumors are true.”

“Then what do you think Gu Chu should do?”

“I think, in the future, we’ll see how Gu Chu can be so arrogant. Her fiancé has been snatched away. Why is she such a piece of trash?”

“She deserves it! She used to rely on her family’s power and influence to do whatever she wanted in Haicheng City. Now, she’s finally defeated by her sister! By the way, where is she? Is she too ashamed to come out?”

“Must be, hahaha!”

Gu Chu, who was eavesdropping from behind them, snorted coldly and walked over. She asked in a deep voice, “I heard that you guys are looking for me?”

They really didn’t know that she had been behind them the entire time. Their expressions all changed.

“You guys are here to attend my mother’s birthday party. On the surface, you’re being polite, but behind my back, you’re talking about my family’s affairs. That’s not appropriate, right?”

She was thinking that she had nowhere to vent her anger. Who asked them to offend her!

“We didn’t mean anything by it. We were just joking,” Someone immediately said with a change of expression.

Gu Chu smiled. “Of course I know you were joking. If I had taken it seriously, you would have been kicked out!”

They forced a smile that was uglier than crying. “Hehe, that’s right. Haha…”

Gu Chu pushed the wine glass forward. “You are guests. Let me give you a toast.”

Then, she looked at the wine glass and said, “I’ll toast to the three of you and you should return the favor. You have to drink three glasses each, ok?”

Their faces froze. Everyone knew this party was just a show..
