"Ah, isn't this Miss Gu? Why is she here too?" Lady Kang looked as if she had just seen her for the first time. She then creased her eyebrows lovingly. "However, our Kang family didn't post any messages to Miss Gu. Fourth Miss Gu is …"

The Kang Family's girl purposely left half of her sentence unsaid. Her voice dragged along a long echo, causing one's imagination to run wild.

Immediately, the gazes falling on Gu Hua Jing's body didn't restrain itself. 'Uninvited' was something that a girl like her would have to face.

Gu Hua Jing's eyes scanned the crowd, but she couldn't find Qin Hui. This girl was so stupid that it made one's heart sink. Did she want to embarrass herself this much? Was she that confident that she wouldn't take petty revenge?

"Okay, okay. It is not a big deal. It is only natural for the Gu family's elder sister to want to see Master Bai."

Lady Kang had seen enough jokes, so she tactfully tried to smooth things over, while at the same time faintly expressing her admiration for Bai Lingtian.

"Master Bai is so outstanding. I wonder how big sister Gu can bear it."

Gu Hua Jing only felt that it was incomparably funny. She couldn't help but flash a smile.

When his smile fell into Bai Lingtian's eyes, it made his gaze darken. How could this girl still smile? Why didn't she explain that her sister-in-law had invited her to come with him?

"But Sister Gu, don't you already have a son of the Marquis Ning Family?" "Why do you still want to..."

Halfway through her words, Yu Miaomeng suddenly covered her lips in shock. "Is it because of Young Master Shen? "I, I didn't say anything …"

"…" All of them were talented!

Gu Hua Jing was being watched by everyone, and Bai Lingtian's gaze fell on her.

If it was any other girl, they would have to run away in shame and indignation. She was clearly framed by someone. Her sister-in-law had clearly said earlier that she was the one who invited Gu Hua Jing.

Gu Hua Jing didn't refute because she knew that even if she retorted, it wouldn't be of any use?

For the first time, Bai Lingtian felt sympathy and pity for Gu Hua Jing. However, he did not try to help her.

The gossip became even worse. These girls were just there for Bai Lingtian to hear. They knew that Bai Lingtian was not happy with Gu Hua Jing and was only giving what he had.

Gu Hua Jing sighed internally. It was never her style to allow others to amuse her by not saying a word.

Gu Hua Jing, who had been standing silently, suddenly moved.

She lifted up her beautiful dress and gracefully turned around to hide behind Bai Lingtian, revealing only half of her face.

"I should not have appeared in Japan today, but why did you insist on inviting me here? "What should we do now, what should we do?"

Gu Hua Jing's words contained grievance and rebuke, and she bit her lips, not knowing what to do.

Everyone was shocked. Could it be … could it be that Gu Hua Jing's appearance here today was an invitation from Bai Ling Tian?

So when they arrived, that was why Gu Hua Jing was with Bai Lingtian? In the end … What was going on?

Bai Lingtian frowned and was about to retort when he felt a sudden pain on his back. Someone had pinched him viciously on the side of his waist.

He lowered his head to look at her. Gu Hua Jing's clear eyes were also looking at him, which was very different from her expression of grievance. Her eyes were so cold that they didn't contain the slightest hint of confusion.

"Your Bai Clan owes me."

Gu Hua Jing's barely audible voice came from her lips. Bai Lingtian suddenly recalled what she said before, about nearly dying in the Bai family. He did not know why, but he was unable to move his body.

Seeing that Bai Lingtian did not refute them, everyone stared with widened eyes. Some of them even held their hearts as if they were on the verge of tears.

Why did Master Bai invite Gu Hua Jing here? Why was he standing in front of Gu Hua Jing?!

Didn't they say that Master Bai hated Gu Hua Jing? Didn't they already leave together?

Gu Hua Jing was very satisfied. For a person like Bai Lingtian, once there was no rebuttal, there would be no explanation.

Her eyes flickered as her tender lips curved slightly. When Bai Lingtian noticed this from the corner of his eyes, he could not help but be startled.

At this time, Gu Hua Jing had changed into a pitiful appearance. She lowered her head and revealed a bitter smile, "I should have known my own limits. Since I'm not welcome here, I should have stayed home a long time ago."

Gu Hua Jing took a step back, "I was the one who disturbed everyone's interest. I'm leaving now."

Gu Hua Jing didn't display any overzealous expression. Even her eyes were slightly red, and there was even a bitter smile on her face.

For some reason, Bai Ling Tian's heart sank.

In the end, which one was Gu Hua Jing's real appearance? Why did she have such a heartbreaking expression? Hadn't she always relied on the Gu family's status to be insufferably arrogant?

Gu Hua Jing didn't care about what others were thinking. She thought that she could finally leave. These people should be satisfied by now, but it should be enough to fulfill their wish, right?

With Bai Lingtian blocking the way, no one dared to open their mouths to stop her. They could only watch as Gu Hua Jing slowly walked away, their hearts filled with bewilderment.

Bai Lingtian waited until Gu Hua Jing's figure disappeared before silently returning to the front yard, leaving behind a bunch of women who were still confused. He was constantly speculating in his mind about what was going on.

After leaving the Kang Residence, Gu Hua Jing couldn't find the carriage she was riding. Helpless, she had Greenwood ask the gatekeeper of the Residence of Kang.

"Miss Gu's carriage has already gone back. A little girl took something like a jade pendant for them to go back to."

"Miss, is my jade pendant missing?"

Green Branch suddenly cried out in alarm. The Plum Blossom Jade Pendant that the Miss had given her was not by her waist. She was so anxious that her face changed.

It was probably Qin Wenzhou again? Gu Hua Jing was too lazy to guess. She wanted Qing Mei to rent a carriage, so she would go back first.

"Did this girl encounter any difficulties?"

Behind her, a voice that was like the spring breeze once again sounded. Gu Hua Jing was startled and turned around, only to find that it was another person she had met before.

The one who rode with Bai Lingtian on his triumphant return was called … What was his name?

"I am Han Xizhi. I'm sorry for disturbing the young lady, but I saw that the young lady was unhappy and thought that I might be able to help."

Han Xizhi had a pair of peach blossom eyes. Even when he was smiling, his eyes seemed to be smiling.

He was dressed in a crescent-white robe, looking gentle and amiable, and the smile on his face was becoming more and more trustworthy.

However, it was obvious that Gu Hua Jing didn't think so. Han Xi's and Bai Ling Tian's relationship was close, and they were in the same group. Just because of this, it was already enough for Gu Hua Jing to despise them.

"Many thanks, Young Master. I am fine with anything."

Unexpectedly, Han Xizhi acted as if he didn't hear her, rubbing his chin with his hand and narrowing his eyes. "This one thinks that this lady is very nice. Could it be that I've seen this lady somewhere before?"

"I'm afraid young master has mistaken him for someone else."

"No, no, no. I have always had a very good memory. Especially for a beauty like this lady, I will definitely not forget her wrongly."

Black lines appeared on Gu Hua Jing's forehead, and the green plum and green branch behind her had extremely unnatural expressions on their faces.

This tone was too similar to Miss's. When Miss saw a beauty, she had the same appearance as a lecher.

Gu Hua Jing took a deep breath, letting her smile become less stiff. In front of her, Han Xi had a sudden realization, "Ah, I remember now, aren't you that girl who was with Ling Tian and Li Jun?"

"Young Master Han sure has good memory."

Gu Hua Jing wanted to clap his hands, so she guessed that she could at least let him go, right?

Who would have thought that Han Xizhi would actually reveal a look of pity.

"Ling Tian has never once mentioned that Miss Gu is actually so beautiful. From the looks of it, it seems that Miss Gu, such a dainty person with an ice cube like Brother Ling Tian, has truly wronged Miss Ling Tian."

Gu Hua Jing was once again dumbstruck. Where did Han Xi come from? Wasn't he a close friend of Bai Lingtian?

Gu Hua Jing's mind was in a mess. She didn't want to think about this, "Qing Mei, go call a car."

Gu Hua Jing decided to pretend that Han Xi didn't exist.

Hearing Gu Hua Jing's words, Han Xizhi snapped his fingers. Immediately, a servant came up behind him, "Go, hurry up and drive my car over to send Miss Gu back."

"There's no need to trouble Young Master Han."

"Miss Gu is too polite, why would it be a hassle? If you want to rent a carriage, you'll need at least an hour to do so.

Han Xizhi smiled leisurely, "I've had false guesses about this girl before. Now that I've met her, I know that I'm narrow-minded. Please give me a chance to apologize."

Han Xizhi's attitude was very sincere, but he was more moved by the fact that it wasn't easy to rent a car.

Gu Hua Jing wasn't an unreasonable person, especially since she wouldn't go against him. So she humbly bowed to Han Xi and said, "In that case, this little girl thanks Young Master very much."

The Han Family carriage was a bit more spacious than Gu Hua Jing's, so after thanking her, Gu Hua Jing got on the carriage and said, "Go to the Gu Family."

Gu Hua Jing knew that she wasn't magnanimous. If others treated her well, she would return it many times over. If they wanted to harm her …

Or he could simply kill her. Otherwise, she wouldn't let him off the hook so easily!

"Master, Master Bai has been waiting in the house for a long time."

Only then did Han Xizhi withdraw his gaze, changing it to the usual refined smile, and slowly walked inside.

A white light was thrown back from his hand, and the attendant behind him caught it quickly. It was a small jade pendant carved with plum blossoms.

"Keep it. It might be useful in the future."

Han Xizhi lazily waved his hand and disappeared into the Kang Manor.

Gu Hua Jing went to the Gu Residence. Contrary to what Qin Hui had said, other than Gu Hua Xuan, everyone else was there.

Knowing that Gu Huaxin had come back, Yang Jiayao came to the front hall to greet her with a smile.

"Father, Big Brother, Third Brother."

Ever since she moved to the Flowing Garden, apart from settling down, she had come back for a trip. This was her first time coming back.

"Okay, okay, okay. Girl, why didn't you tell me when you return so that I could prepare for it?"

Gu Hua Jing smiled as she walked over to Gu Yuan Pei's side, "Your daughter is worried that father will have to trouble himself. What is there to prepare?"
