Chapter 179 - Start of the Banquet

"Third brother!"

Just as everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Sitong, Ling Xiaorui came out from an unknown corner, his beautiful eyes revealed a trace of worry. He moved close to Pei Qingheng and whispered: "Chu Xue has disappeared!"

Pei Qingheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his gaze finally moved from Lin Sitong's body to Ling Xiaorui's. His amber eyes were densely covered in dark clouds: "Gone?!"

Ling Xiaorui said with a bitter face, "In the blink of an eye, she slipped away right under my noses!"

Pei Qingheng's face suddenly became ugly.

Regarding everything that was happening here, Lin Sitong knew nothing.

Right now, she was following behind Gu Zhirou, and felt gazes coming from all directions, with or investigating, examining, or looking at her with infatuation.

The whispers of discussion from the surrounding people also fell into Lin Sitong's ears.

"Whose daughter is this?" To think that it would enter Gu Zhirou's eyes. "

"Looking at her appearance and disposition, she doesn't seem like an ordinary girl. But... I really have no impression of this person at all. "

"Don't say it. If you look carefully, you won't feel like she's …" Is that a little like it? Could it be that an illegitimate daughter has come knocking on his door? "

It turned out that this speculation could be heard no matter where it was.

Lin Sitong couldn't help but frown and look towards Gu Zhirou who was standing in front of her.

Half of Gu Zhirou's face that Lin Sitong could see, still carried a dignified smile, as if she did not know about the discussions of the people around her.

Gu Zhirou held up a wine cup that was filled with amber liquid, and a dignified and graceful smile appeared on her lightly painted face. "Welcome, everyone.

The surrounding people burst into applause.

Waiting until the applause had died down, Gu Zhirou spoke again: "It's been a long time since I held a banquet. The reason for this banquet is because I want to communicate with everyone, and also because I hope to be able to introduce a person to everyone. "

After saying that, Gu Zhirou turned his head around, and her eyes that carried a gentle smile on it landed on Lin Sitong's body.

Lin Sitong looked back at Gu Zhirou with a face full of encouragement. Lin Sitong held her breath, and a smile blossomed on her face. With an elegant and leisurely manner, she took a step forward, and walked to Gu Zhirou's side.

Gu Zhirou's eyes revealed a hint of smile, and gently pulled Lin Sitong's hand. She turned around to look at the person in front of him, and raised her voice: "This is my adopted daughter, Lin Sitong. This child, who had just returned from abroad, was now Hua Xi's doctor. This time around, I want to take this opportunity to introduce her to everyone. "

As soon as Gu Zhirou finished speaking, the surrounding people all started to praise: "Madam Gu sure is lucky, to have obtained such a talented and beautiful daughter."

"From the looks of it, she's probably a lot younger than other girls of the same age!"

"That's right. If I had a daughter like her, I wouldn't have been able to hide it for a long time. I would have introduced her to everyone!"

The praises from the surroundings came crashing over as if they were free.

Very quickly, Lin Sitong noticed that there were a few young girls around her age who were already looking at him with unfriendly gazes.

No one loved a man who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was praised by others.

Lin Sitong slightly raised her eyelashes, as her clear and limpid black and white eyes looked at all the people who spoke, and the corner of her mouth hooked into a light smile: "You flatter me. Stone didn't dare to say anything. "

His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

Gu Zhirou looked at Lin Sitong with a trace of praise in her eyes.

"Alright, if you keep praising me, I'll be so happy that I won't be able to sleep at night." Gu Zhirou smiled and cut off the praise, "I won't say anything else. I hope everyone can have a good time tonight. "I will bring Santong along in a while, and pay my respects to all of you."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the people around Lin Sitong and Gu Zhirou slowly dispersed.

Lin Sitong then let out a small sigh of relief, raised her head and subconsciously started to search the crowd for Pei Qingheng's figure.

"You did well."

Before Lin Sitong could find Pei Qingheng, Gu Zhirou's voice sounded beside her ears.

Lin Sitong retracted her gaze, and gently smiled at Gu Zhirou.

"Let's go, I'll take you to get to know the people you came here for." Gu Zhirou smiled.

Lin Sitong nodded his head, and couldn't help but raise his head to look for Pei Qingheng's figure. Only now did she realize that it was not only Pei Qingheng, even Ling Xiaorui's figure hadn't been seen. Feng Ye who was covered in cold air, looked like someone who owed him money every day.

Lin Sitong curled her lips and retracted her gaze.

After circling around the area, Gu Zhirou brought Lin Sitong and walked in front of a person. "Santong, let me bring you to know each other. "This is my nephew, Gu Mingxun."

"Dr. Lin, I never thought that we would have such fate." A cold voice sounded.

Hearing this voice that sounded somewhat familiar, Lin Sitong was immediately stunned. "Mr. Gu?"

"You two know each other?" Gu Zhirou looked back and forth between the two of them with a bit of surprise and suspicion.

"Previously, when Nan Nan was injured, Dr. Lin was Nan Nan's main doctor." Gu Ming asked simply.

Gu Zhirou laughed, "I never thought that Santong and our family would have such fate."

Lin Sitong slightly smiled, the expression on her face was not really eager at all.

She didn't ignore the coldness that flashed through Gu Mingxun's eyes.

"Then all of you chat first." Gu Zhirou rubbed her temples a little tiredly, "I'm going to have another drink."

Lin Sitong nodded, seeing the worry in Gu Zhirou's eyes, and could not help but remind him: "Aunt Gu, drink less."

Gu Zhirou smiled at Lin Sitong, and quickly walked back into the crowd.

Looking at Gu Zhirou's leaving figure, Gu Mingxun once again spoke in an ice-cold voice: "Dr. Lin sure is capable."

What did he mean?

Lin Sitong couldn't help but frown and look towards Gu Ming Xun.

The corner of Gu Ming's mouth curled up in ridicule. "I didn't expect to meet you again under such circumstances."

There was something else in those words that made Lin Sitong frown as she said coldly, "I also did not expect that with your character, you would actually be Aunt Gu's nephew."

Gu Ming coldly snorted and bluntly warned him, "I advise you not to have any other thoughts."

The corner of Lin Sitong's mouth hooked into a cold smile: "Besides her surname, Mr. Gu and Aunt Gu really do not resemble each other at all."

Gu Ming's expression darkened.

"Of course, for a powerful figure like Mr. Gu, he would more or less be a little delusional. I can understand that too. " Lin Sitong smiled.
