One step, two steps, three steps …

Gu Tong finally walked through the door and clearly saw what was inside.

However, her attention was not on the interior decoration, but on the people who came and went.

Entertainment stars, business tycoons, political celebrities...

Gu Tong silently sorted them out in her heart. The more she looked, the more surprised and nervous she became.

She had only seen a lot of these people on TV and in magazines. She had never seen anyone in person and didn't know how to get along with them.

Besides, with so many important figures present, how important would this occasion be?

Gu Tong sighed in her heart and subconsciously took a step back, wanting to escape.

Since she was born, she didn't like hypocritical social gatherings, so she rarely attended these kinds of occasions. Even if she occasionally attended one, she still had Gu Yangyi by her side. She didn't need to care about anything.

But this time, Gu Yangyi wasn't here, and neither was Si Yicheng. She … She really did not have much confidence in herself.

"Where is Miss Gu planning to go?"

As soon as Gu Tong took a step back, she heard a familiar voice call out to her.

Why was she here?

Could it be that the phone call she just answered was to inform her that she was coming here, so she rushed over?

Hearing Lin Anya's voice, Gu Tong couldn't help guessing.

However, she knew that this was not the time to be thinking about this, so she quickly gathered her thoughts and panicked. She calmly turned around and replied, "I feel a little stuffy inside, so I want to go out and walk in the garden."

"Boring?" Dad and I saw with our own eyes that Miss Gu just came in. "

Lin Anya affectionately held the arm of her father at her side, speaking with an innocent and innocent expression. She did not have the arrogant and domineering appearance of someone from the Siyi Family at all.

Upon seeing this, Gu Tong's stomach churned uncomfortably.

But seeing so many people present and Lin Anyun's dad there, she forcefully suppressed her disgust and pretended to be very embarrassed, saying, "I really just came in, but I rarely attend these kinds of events, so I'm not very used to it. I can't stay in there, so I've made a fool of myself and Uncle Lin."

Because of Lin An Yun, Gu Tong had secretly interacted with her father several times. In order to give Lin An Yun face, she had politely addressed him as Uncle Lin.

However, Gu Tong knew that her father had always favored Lin Anya as his second daughter. He was rather strict with her, so he didn't have any good feelings towards her.

"It's fine. If you can't stay any longer, then go out and take a breather. Relax a bit."

He sounded like he liked and disliked Gu Tong. It was as if he was talking to an ordinary person and not a good friend of his daughter.

Gu Tong knew her attitude towards Lin Yun, so she didn't feel surprised or upset about him treating her like this. She accepted it calmly.

However, Lin Anya was unable to control herself and smiled sinisterly.

"Since Miss Gu is so uncomfortable, why don't you let your partner accompany you outside? "Even though it's within the Si Family's territory, it's still very dangerous for a girl to be out alone at night."

Looking at the empty Gu Tong, Lin Anya purposely said this. Then before Gu Tong could say anything, she pretended to be regretful, "Aiya, I'm sorry, I almost said the wrong thing. Miss Gu seems to have come alone, without a partner."

Gu Tong knew very well that she had indeed come here alone. There was no way to argue about this, so she could only smile awkwardly and didn't explain further.

Coming to dinner with a partner had always been a rule that everyone knew. Gu Tong had attended very little and hadn't noticed it before, but now that she heard Lin Anya's words, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Si Yichen, what are you trying to do?

Why did you send me such clothes and ask Secretary Yang to bring me here?

You want everyone to make fun of me and make me the biggest joke tomorrow?

Gu Tong lowered her eyes, feeling angry with Si Yichen in her heart. She was like a small grudge.

Seeing this, Father Lin looked around and noticed that there were some people looking over. He turned his head and whispered to Lin Anya who was beside him, "Anya, there are a lot of good friends from the business side. I'll bring you over to meet them."

Lin Anya did not want to let go of this opportunity to humiliate Gu Tong. She wanted to reject her father, but when she saw the displeasure on his face, she did not dare to speak out her rejection.

Lin Anya clearly knew in her heart that the reason her father liked her more than Lin Anyun was because she was sweeter than him. She knew that if she didn't listen to him, her father would change his attitude towards her.

Thus, in front of her father, she did not dare to easily say no.

After all, all the favors were things that she had fought for with great difficulty.

After receiving Lin Anya's approval, Father Lin nodded towards Gu Tong, which could be considered a form of greeting. He then left with Lin Anya.

"Phew …"

Gu Tong breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around to leave.

However, just as she reached the door, a sudden gust of cold wind blew towards her, causing her to shiver.

Her attention was focused on the banquet and the villa so she didn't care about the weather or the temperature. She suddenly realized that she was wearing thin clothes and it was not suitable for the night breeze to blow.

"Forget it, since I can't go out, I'll just find a corner to sit at."

Gu Tong changed her mind and walked to a secluded corner.

If it wasn't for the fact that she told Yang Zhuzhen to wait for him before he left, and if she didn't want to know what the purpose of this banquet was for, she would have left without hesitation.

Through Lin Anya's previous actions, she hated this place more and more.

Moreover, thinking that this was her father's home, and she could see him at any time, she felt even more uncomfortable.

"Little Tong —"

Just as Gu Tong was feeling bored and frustrated, a voice filled with uncertainty rang out.

Although the term was very intimate, Gu Tong could hear goosebumps and disgust all over her body.

She did not need to turn around to know who the owner of this voice was. She was filled with loathing and resentment towards her master, so she continued to sit with her back straight as if she had heard nothing.

However, the other party did not want to let her go so easily. Without her response, the person who came walked over to Gu Tong immediately walked in front of her and said enthusiastically: "Little Tong, is it really you? "You dressed so beautifully today, I thought I had the wrong person."

Hearing his increasingly flattering voice and the look in his eyes, Gu Tong suddenly stood up, wanting to find another place to stay.
