C16 Charity Auction

Mu Li suddenly had the impulse to cry again. After all these years of suffering, there was someone who suddenly stood up to treat her well. It made her not know how to face this kind of warmth.

It was as if Cinderella had suddenly turned into a little princess, causing her to feel an inexplicable sense of nervousness and helplessness.

"Don't cry anymore. Remember your status. No matter where you go in the future, don't let anyone bully you. With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

Hearing Gu Tingxiao's words, Mu Li suddenly laughed, feeling much better.

"How can I be as miserable as you say?" The Mu family didn't bully her every day. They would only treat her like a scorpion when there were benefits involved.

"Hurry up and eat. The makeup artist is already prepared."

"A makeup artist?" Mu Li was stunned. He still needed to put on makeup for dinner? I've never heard of it!

"Come with me to a charity auction later." Gu Tingxiao spoke calmly, as if this was a common occurrence.

Mu Li knew about the charity auction and had even participated in it once when she was young. In her impression, besides giving their love, most of the people she knew were people who made friends with. They had to flatter their superiors when they saw each other, but each of them had their own thoughts.

She didn't like it. Everyone wore masks.

Seeing her expression darken, Gu Tingxiao asked, "You don't like it?"

"No." Mu Li shook his head. "It's just that it's been a long time since I've attended an official venue. I'm afraid I'll lose face for you."

Ever since she left the Mu family, she was no longer a child of the Wealthy Class. She had completely disassociated herself from the life of a noble.

Now, she no longer had the noble aura she once had. Even if she stood next to Mu Yan, she would still appear shabby and out of place.

She was truly afraid that someone would mock her and embarrass Gu Tingxiao.

Gu Ting Chen was flabbergasted. He had thought that she would be very happy to be able to attend such an event, but he hadn't expected that the first thing she thought of was not to embarrass herself.

"We'll go together." He looked at her steadily, giving her a kind of encouragement.

He wasn't worried, so Mu Li didn't have anything to worry about. He faced Tang Wulin's gaze and focused. "Alright, let's go together."

After dinner, the makeup artist was brought in.

Looking at the luxurious jewelry in front of her, she couldn't move her eyes away. These famous brands that were once very familiar with each other were now unfamiliar to him. He never thought that there would be a day where he would wear them again.

Gu TingChen didn't need to change his appearance so much. He only needed to change his clothes. After all, Gu Tingxiao's face was handsome and bright, and there were many embellishments on it. It was just a painting to make it look better.

When Mu Li came out from the inside, his clothes were beautiful, but it was too precious.

She felt that it was awkward to carry all these items on her body. She looked at Gu Tingxiao and asked, "Tingchen, can I wear something a little simpler? After all, this is a charity auction. If I wear something like this, it will arouse a lot of discussion."

Gu Tingxiao smiled with a deeper meaning, "Mmm." In the next second, his gaze fell on the makeup artist.

The makeup artist was shocked, having a premonition that his job was not going to be preserved. "Second Young Master, I'll change the young madam's attire right now. The young lady's figure is good, so she should wear anything."

Half an hour later, Mu Li walked out again, looking like a different person.

The pure white dress looked like a fairy that had fallen into the mortal world. It was unadorned and only had a pearl necklace around her neck. Her hair was also tied up into a ball and placed on her head.

He looked like a completely different person.

"That's right."

Gu Tingxiao nodded. Only then did the makeup artist heave a sigh of relief, "Second Young Master, I'll be leaving first."

After sending off the makeup artist, he returned to the living room. There wasn't much time left, the car was already waiting at the door. "Young Master, let's go."

Mu Li lowered his head, blushing slightly. He was a little embarrassed, but she was happy to receive Gu Tingxiao's praise.

At the party's venue, Gu Tingxiao held onto Mu Li's hand as they walked in. Mu Li was more or less nervous, his palms sweating profusely.

"Don't be afraid." Gu Ting Chen gripped her hand tightly.

Mu Li took a deep breath to calm herself down. With him by her side, no matter how nervous she was, she could quickly calm down.

Most of the people in the hall had already arrived. They greeted each other and grouped in groups of three or five.

When Gu Tingxiao and Mu Li walked into the main hall, everyone turned to look.

These two had stirred up quite a commotion recently. The trash had married an unfavoured daughter, so they could be considered well-matched. Moreover, they even had some prestige at the Mu family's gate.

No one came to greet him, so Gu Tingxiao did not mind and pulled Mu Li along.

The few people sitting in the dark heard the silence in the hall and looked over as well. The expressions in their eyes were different.

Chu Zheng smiled and drank all of the red wine in the cup in one gulp. "Look, who's coming?"

"You don't need to look to know." Ling Xiao picked up the cup and took a sip before placing it down again, "Other than Gu Tingxiao, who else could possibly make you so excited?"

The rest of them laughed.

Chu Zheng stood up, his gaze still on the outside, "Gu Tingxiao is here. Let's go out and join in the fun."

"Young master Chu, he just arrived. You have to leave and accompany him for another drink!" The woman next to him held onto Chu Zheng's arm, sticking her entire body up.

"That's right, what's so good about that cripple of the Mu family?" The other woman spoke up.

The best way for them to accompany the drinkers was to rely on the rich second generation. Since they had the opportunity to serve the young masters of the Wealthy Class, how could they let go of such a good opportunity?
