After Old Lady Gu heard Gu Huaisheng's introduction, his gaze turned towards Lo Lishu who was standing at the side. He sized him up from head to toe, "So it's Li Shu, you're that little sister of Song Yan's, right?"

It was completely different from the doting she felt when she was chatting with Gu Qingyu.

Lo Lishu couldn't help but force a smile when she was singled out, "Greetings, Grandma Gu."

Old Lady Gu only nodded her head, before shifting her gaze away from her.

Gu Huaisheng then introduced the Gu Family members to Lo Lishu, who greeted them one by one.

After a while, Gu Huaisheng let her go, and she was arranged to sit at the main table. Because she was Song Yan's younger sister, she could only sit in the center of the seating area with the Aunt Song on his left and Song Yan on her right.

Lo Lishu sat there, not daring to move. She used her nails to trace the complicated patterns on the tablecloth.

But just because she didn't speak to anyone, it didn't mean that no one took the initiative to look for her.

Lo Lishu lowered her head, trying her best to become transparent. But not long after she sat down, Song Yan used her arm to touch her and asked softly: "Where did you go just now?

Just as Lo Lishu was about to speak, she felt a severe pain in her leg. She frowned from the pain, and her hand couldn't help but touch the tableware on the table.

A clear and distinct sound of colliding could be heard. Lo Lishu raised her head and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I was careless."

When the crowd shifted their attention back to her, she glanced at Aunt Song.

Just now, it was Aunt Song who pinched her!

In front of the public, the Aunt Song couldn't scold her. She could only glare at Lo Lishu as if she was a threat, warning him to not say anything she shouldn't have said.

Lo Lishu turned his head and looked at Aunt Song for a long time before shifting her gaze. She lowered his head and stared fixedly at her finger, no one knew what she was thinking about.

Song Yan was startled by her sudden movements, and did not dare to do anything.

When Lo Lishu became lost in thought, she felt that her legs were a bit itchy. She thought that she had scraped the tablecloth and moved it a bit, but she quickly realized that something was wrong. It wasn't some tablecloth, but someone was rubbing against her legs.

Lo Lishu was startled, she bit her lips, and held onto a corner of the chair tightly, trying her best to move her leg, but wherever she went, Song Yan would continue to move towards her shamelessly. She repeated this a few times, but she had no other choice, Song Yan was still sticking to her.

Lo Lishu could no longer hold it in, she laughed mockingly at Song Yan.

When Song Yan saw her looking at him, he revealed a sweet smile.

Lo Lishu felt a wave of disgust in her heart, she almost wanted to slap him a few times, and then leave immediately.

Seeing the two of them looking at each other, the Aunt Song suddenly felt that something was amiss, so she started pinching Lo Lishu again.

As Lo Lishu sat in the middle, the anger in her tortured heart grew stronger. She took a deep breath in and then lifted her leg, and ruthlessly stomped on the ground under Song Yan's feet.

Naturally, she wore extremely thin and extremely high heels, and her strength was naturally extraordinary. Song Yan's expression immediately changed.

Lo Lishu suppressed the joy in her heart, and asked while pretending to be concerned: "Big brother, what's wrong, does it look like your face isn't very good?"

When Gu Ruoxue heard it, she immediately looked at Song Yan, and also frowned, "Hubby, are you sick? "His complexion really doesn't look too good."

Song Yan stared at Lo Lishu, he was in so much pain that his face twisted, and said while clenching his teeth.

"I'm fine."

"How can I be alright? Look at your cold sweat, why don't you find a doctor? " Gu Ruoxue looked at him worriedly, she held up a handkerchief and wanted to wipe his forehead.

Song Yan immediately dodged, and replied with an unfriendly tone, "I already said, it's fine."

Hearing his impatient tone, Gu Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, and then, she said with some grievance, "I just care about you … "I …"

Song Yan also realized that his tone just now was a little harsh, and hurriedly consoled his with a gentle voice, "I'm sorry Ruo Xue, but I'm really fine."

Gu Ruoxue held Song Yan's hand, and slightly frowned, "It's okay, if you're not feeling well, you have to tell me."

Song Yan smiled gently at her, then nodded.

Lo Lishu listened to the conversation between the two and continued to eat expressionlessly.

The banquet continued. Old Master Gu raised his cup to thank everyone present, and then, the descendants of the Gu family delivered their congratulatory gifts. The ball would only officially begin after dinner.

Gu Ruoxue wanted to pull her along to dance, but was rejected by Lo Lishu, "I don't really know how to dance, you go with big brother."

Since Gu Ruoxue's invitation was fruitless, she grabbed onto Song Yan's arm and sweetly walked away.

Lori stood in the corner with her thin goblet between her fingers, looking quietly at the center of the dance floor. How could she not know how to dance? Ever since she was a child, her family had told her that as a daughter of a famous family, she must learn how to dance.

She insisted on learning how to dance until the Luo Family fell,

But she didn't want to dance here, because she didn't want to attract anyone's attention, and even more so, she didn't want to have anything to do with anyone in the Gu family.

"Li Shu? "Why aren't you dancing?"

As if she was already used to this voice, Lo Lishu didn't even look to her side as she directly answered, "I don't know."

"You really won't?" Gu Huaisheng narrowed his eyes, as his dark pupils stared straight at Lo Lishu.

Li Shu turned around and met his deep eyes.

"I really don't." Lo Lishu did not dare to look into her eyes, and quickly turned her head, and said hoarsely.

"I can teach you." Without waiting for her to reject, Gu Huaisheng took the goblet in her hand and placed it on a waiter's tray.

"You're not allowed to decline. Just treat it as me helping you repay the debt from before."

Hearing what he had said, Lo Lishu truly could not refuse. She bit her lip and finally managed to say, "I'm very stupid."

"No problem, I'm very patient." Gu Huaisheng's eyes flashed, and he quickly replied.

With one hand behind his back, Gu Huaisheng slightly lowered his body and extended his hand out in a gentleman's gesture of courtesy. "Can Miss Lo give me some face?"

Lo Lishu still placed his hand on his palm in the end.

Gu Huaisheng held her hand, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, a light flashed past his eyes, and the two of them slowly slipped towards the dance floor.

The dance music was a very simple social dance. Lo Lishu felt that even with her eyes closed, she could still remember the dance steps that she was once very familiar with. However, she tried her best to pretend that she couldn't dance, so that Gu Huaisheng would retreat if she knew the difficulties.

"I'm sorry Mr. Gu, I …"

"Mr. Gu, I really don't know how to dance."

"Mr. Gu is sorry, I stepped on you again."
