"Mr. Gu, you have arrived."
In the main hall, Ye Jinyuan's face was full of smiles as he stood up to greet Gu Chenan. The grey-robed man who was previously in the main hall had now vanished without a trace.
"Master Ye." Gu Chenan nodded in greeting.
At the same time, many famous merchants and tycoons who had come to show their support for the Ye Family also entered the main hall.
They had already paid their respects to Ye Jinyuan earlier, and were now here simply to show their faces in front of Gu Chenan and try to get acquainted.
"Oh my, Mr. Gu, I have heard so much about you."
"Mr. Gu is truly a talented figure, the Gu Family will surely continue to prosper in the future."
"The people of Donghai all say that Mr. Gu is a dragon and phoenix among men, and that is indeed the case upon meeting him today!"
Hearing the flattering words ringing in his ears, Gu Chenan couldn't help but twitch his lips.
The people of Donghai all say I'm a dragon and phoenix among men?
Screw that, they'd be burning incense if they didn't call me a human pile driver and human teddy bear instead.
But being the villain is great, people kiss up to me wherever I go.
Not like the protagonist, who always has blind idiots jumping out to humiliate them wherever they go.
Just as these people were fawning over Gu Chenan, a commotion could be heard coming from the manor grounds outside the main hall once again.
This commotion was even bigger than when Gu Chenan had arrived!
Hearing this noisy din, everyone in the hall frowned.
Just who could be causing such a big disturbance?
Gu Chenan was also rather curious. The Ye Family was nothing compared to his Gu Family, and apart from himself there were no other major figures that they were acquainted with.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look outside the manor.
Instantly, the corner of his mouth twitched and his forehead was covered in black lines.
Damn it, why is it you again?!
Following Gu Chenan's line of sight, a silver Porsche 911 and over a dozen black Hummers could be seen parked in the manor grounds!
Liu Mingrui!
Bang~
The door of the silver Porsche 911 opened, and out stepped Liu Mingrui wearing a deep blue backless evening gown, white high heels, and a pair of white lace-trimmed over-the-knee socks that showed off her gorgeous legs.
Today's Liu Mingrui was not only dressed in a very feminine manner, but she had also applied light makeup that gave her an enchanting yet dignified aura.
If Su Qianmo gave off a sense of breathtaking beauty at first sight, then the current Liu Mingrui exuded an elegant grace that made people instinctively feel that she should only be appreciated from afar and not be violated.
And it wasn't just because Liu Mingrui had an unrealistically perfect figure.
Huge breasts paired with incredibly long legs that seemed to only exist in anime. Such ideal proportions were truly a rare sight!
It was also because Liu Mingrui's frowns and smiles went straight to the heart of the beholder, making them feel as if bathing in spring sunshine.
With Liu Mingrui representing the esteemed Liu Family, it was no wonder that her arrival caused such a huge commotion.
The participants of the competition and Ye Family members alike were staring with wide eyes.
"My god, that's Liu Mingrui, of the Liu Family!"
"Liu Family? Never heard of them before."
"You idiot, it's Battle God Liu Zhenshan's family!"
"Damn, I can't believe the Ye Family was able to get the Liu Family to show their support, this is unbelievable!"
"Have to say, Liu Mingrui is just too beautiful, looks like it's time for the title of Donghai's number one beauty to change hands."
Hearing the shocked exclamations of the people around him, a warm current flowed through Lin Yu's heart.
Everyone present knew that there was no way the Ye Family could have asked for the Liu Family's support, yet Liu Mingrui still came.
The reason was simple in Lin Yu's eyes.
It was for his sake!
Liu Mingrui came to cheer him on in the competition on behalf of the entire Liu Family!
Thinking of this, Lin Yu grinned, the corner of his mouth curving up in a lopsided smile.
Mingrui, I understand your thoughtful gesture. You were worried about me, weren't you?
Hehe, silly girl. I'll be fine, the people I'm competing with today are just small fries, there's no need to worry at all.
Just you wait, after I rescue Qianmo I'm going to confess to her.
In the main hall, Gu Chenan looked at Liu Mingrui's seductive outfit outside and swallowed his saliva.
Damn, sis, isn't your outfit a bit too revealing? Is that still you? Weren't you always pretending to be a tomboy before? When did you become so feminine? Can't you wear something less exposing? Do you not realize how big your breasts are? Don't just stand there, look down! Your huge boobs are about to spill out of your evening gown!
Seeing this, Ye Jinyuan's eyes trembled as he was given a huge shock.
A family on the level of the Liu Family was not someone the Ye Family could associate with. Yet the young miss of the Liu Family had shown up at their home today.
Although he didn't understand why, Ye Jinyuan still hurriedly led his men to greet them.
"Miss Liu."
Arriving in front of Liu Mingrui, Ye Jinyuan respectfully bent his waist towards her and said, "Our Ye Family is honored by Miss Liu's presence."
"Master Ye is too kind with his words." Liu Mingrui smiled faintly, then asked, "Has Mr. Gu arrived?"
These words gave Ye Jinyuan and his men another shock.
Mr. Gu?!
So that's why Miss Liu suddenly came to the Ye Family. Turns out she was here for Mr. Gu!
"Mr. Gu is in the main hall. Please, this way Miss Liu." Ye Jinyuan made an inviting gesture.
At this time, in the main hall.
Gu Chenan eyed Liu Mingrui in the manor grounds as if facing a formidable foe.
Damn it, why does this chick keep pestering me? She has no connection with the Ye Family at all, so what is she here for?
Gu Chenan was puzzled, but he had firmly made up his mind about one thing.
No matter what, he absolutely could not interact too much with Liu Mingrui today!
With that jinx Lin Yu present, if he got the impression that Gu Chenan was making a move on Liu Mingrui, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Watching as Ye Jinyuan led Liu Mingrui towards the main hall, Gu Chenan's expression was as ugly as if he had just eaten shit.
Finally, Ye Jinyuan brought Liu Mingrui to the main hall. Before Ye Jinyuan could even open his mouth, the Liu Mingrui behind him softly and coquettishly said, "Hello, Chen'an~"
[What the f*ck is going on?]
Gu Chenan was even shocked.
[Liu Mingrui, when the hell did you become so shy and reserved? Following your usual style, shouldn't you nod at me in a manly way and jokingly call me little Anzi if you saw me? ]
[Damn, Liu Mingrui's character has also collapsed beyond repair!]
Hearing Gu Chenan's inner voice, Liu Mingrui frowned.
I've been watching lots of beauty and fashion bloggers recently, and finally worked up the resolve to change my style after much difficulty. And the first thing you say upon seeing me is "What the f*ck is going on?"
Do you know how hard it was for me to talk in this clipping tone? It made my throat so uncomfortable!
"What are you here for?" Gu Chenan asked with knitted brows.
Liu Mingrui gently pursed her lips and spoke coquettishly, "I... I heard that Mr. Gu would be attending this competition today, so I came to show my support~"
These words gave the tycoons in the main hall as well as the Ye Family members another great shock.
The young miss of the esteemed Liu Family actually acted this way in front of Mr. Gu!
Although they all knew that the Liu and Gu Families had a close relationship, they would never have imagined it to be this good!
Wasn't Mr. Gu already engaged to Miss Su of the Su Family?
Then why was Miss Liu still showing such deep affection for Mr. Gu?!
Thinking of this, the gazes looking at Gu Chenan were now mixed with admiration and curiosity.
Rumors said that Mr. Gu was nothing more than a typical playboy, but how could a playboy possibly capture the affections of the female general Liu Mingrui?!
Mr. Gu clearly wasn't as unworthy as the rumors made him out to be!
Hearing Liu Mingrui's clipped tone, Gu Chenan squinted his eyes and frowned.
[F*ck, stop with the clipping already, I feel nauseous!]
[I never realized Liu Mingrui was this outrageous.]
[Also, why the hell does she keep pestering me? It doesn't make sense at all!]
[The last time I was at the Liu Family manor I had clearly offended Master Liu!]
Gu Chenan was confused, but also speechless.
He had thought the issue of the third wheel Liu Mingrui was already resolved, but he never expected that Liu Mingrui would not only refuse to distance herself from him, she had even taken on this kind of appearance.
He truly felt like crying.
