The banquet hall was silent for a few seconds. The man in front slowly turned around. He was wearing a black mask. His light brown eyes were calm, and his thin lips were slightly curled. Although he was smiling, he gave off a distant feeling.
Gu Yao: "…" Damn! This was Gu Zheng, that bastard!
Twilight's assistant said respectfully, "Our master once met Second Young Master Gu at a banquet, so when he heard that Second Young Master Gu wanted to use the banquet hall, he decided to give it to you."
Yang Xu's face was instantly filled with admiration. "Ah! Gu Yao! You're still the best!"
Gu Yao smirked: "…" 'I'm awesome!'
Twilight glanced at Gu Yao casually and said, "Second Young Master Gu, can we talk alone?"
Gu Yao pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and followed Twilight into the lounge next door.
Yang Xu and the others were all about the same age as Gu Yao. They yearned for freedom and were unwilling to take over their family's businesses. Their lives only comprised of eating, drinking, and playing, so they were all very naive. Just like Yang Xu, who clearly thought that Twilight's back view was similar to Gu Zheng's, but he did not suspect anything. He even naively thought that Twilight and Gu Yao would just chat alone.
"Time is tight. Let's quickly set up. When the time is right, we'll pretend to be in the wrong place." Yang Xu waved at everyone. Everyone got busy.
At the same time, Gu Yao was looking at the man in front of him with a hopeless expression. Then, he said in disdain, "Gu Zheng, do you think I won't be able to recognize you just because you're wearing a mask? If you like to role-play, go home and play. Don't embarrass yourself outside every day!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man took off his mask and revealed his true face.
Gu Yao rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of something. "Twilight? This name sounds so familiar! You were also the person at the cultural relic restoration event? Is there something wrong with you? Why did you act so mysterious even when you were helping Qiao Xi?
"Besides, you're just wearing a mask. Those who are familiar with you can recognize you." Gu Yao continued, "Even I haven't been deceived by your disguise. Can you deceive others?"
Gu Zheng glanced at him and said casually, "That's because I'm not pretending in front of you. As long as you're not stupid, you'll be able to recognize me."
Gu Yao: "…" Why did he feel like he was being mocked? In order to let him recognize him, Gu Zheng did not disguise himself? This bastard was insulting him!
He sat on the chair and cleared his throat. "If you have something to say, say it quickly. My time is precious."
Gu Zheng was silent for a moment before looking at him meaningfully. "Use your intelligence to look for trouble with the Kang family."
Hearing this, Gu Yao was instantly interested. He had been a good-for-nothing for so many years and was best at causing trouble for others. However, ever since he took over the company, he had been extremely busy every day and had to take care of his image, so he had not let loose for a long time.
Gu Yao was excited. "Alright! I like to cause trouble for others, but…"
He paused for a moment and was slightly troubled. "But the Kang family is related to Qiao Xi by blood, after all. If I do something overboard, will the Kang family blame her?! I don't want Qiao Xi to be sad."
Gu Zheng glanced at him. "Didn't I tell you to display your intelligence? You can do it secretly. It doesn't matter if you're really discovered. Just do it."
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Gu Yao understood. His mission this time was very important. He patted his chest and promised, "I promise to complete the mission!"
"I'll get going first." Gu Zheng nodded, stood up, put on his mask, and left in a hurry.
Gu Yao looked at Gu Zheng's figure, his heart filled with doubts.
Since Gu Zheng was at the scene, why did he ask him to do such a thing? Could it be that Qiao Xi did not know that Twilight was Gu Zheng at all? However, Gu Zheng had already revealed his identity to him, so why was he unwilling to tell Qiao Xi?
At the event location of the perfume competition.
The three members of the Kang family were sitting in the audience seats and looking at Kang Qingzhi from the competition area with loving eyes. Actually, according to the rules of the perfume competition, the audience did not need to be present in the semi-finals. The audience would only be invited to the finals. The three members of the Kang family could enter because of their noble status. They owned a perfume company and were the family of the two-time champion, Kang Qingzhi.
Xu Ling hurriedly pulled Kang Qingzhi's sleeve and said excitedly, "Qingzhi! Your family is here!"
Seeing this, Kang Qingzhi hurriedly put down the things in her hand and ran to the audience. Her cheeks were red as she shouted cutely, "Dad, Brother, Grandma!"
