The Liu Family Manor was bustling with people. Old Master Liu was celebrating his birthday, and all the prominent figures in Donghai had come.
The parking lot was filled to the brim with luxury cars.
Gu Chen'an wore a dark blue tailored suit with a solid black tie.
By his side was Su Qianmo, dressed in a white sleeveless dress with double buttons. She wore matching white high heels, light and elegant makeup, looking extraordinarily graceful and stunningly beautiful.
As soon as they appeared, they immediately caught the guests' attention.
"Look, it's Young Master Gu and Miss Su!"
"Miss Su is still as breathtakingly beautiful as ever!"
"I thought Miss Su always disliked Young Master Gu. How come she's here with him to celebrate Old Master Liu's birthday?"
"I don't know. And Miss Su is even holding onto Young Master Gu's arm. This is just unbelievable!"
Everyone was puzzled.
Although Su Qianmo's feelings for Gu Chen'an were now completely different, no one else knew about it.
In their minds, Su Qianmo still despised Gu Chen'an. But now, seeing them together, the guests were greatly shocked.
Under everyone's gaze, Gu Chen'an and Su Qianmo walked into the main hall.
As soon as they entered, flattering words immediately reached their ears.
"Young Master Gu, you're here!"
"No wonder I suddenly felt blinded by the sunlight. It turns out Young Master Gu and Miss Su have arrived!"
"Miss Su is still as charming as ever!"
While speaking such words, they were actually shocked and confused in their hearts.
Miss Su was holding onto Young Master Gu's arm?
What on earth happened to drastically change Miss Su's attitude? Wasn't she extremely disgusted by Young Master Gu before?
How could she now be smiling and walking together with him?
What's more, Old Master Liu had just said that his daughter Liu Mingrui was interested in Young Master Gu. Yet the next second, Young Master Gu appeared with Miss Su.
This was simply too much of a slap in Liu Mingrui's face!
Given Liu Mingrui's personality, she definitely wouldn't let Su Qianmo off easy!
Just as everyone was thinking this, Gu Chen'an and Su Qianmo slightly nodded at the flattering people. The crowd immediately made way for them.
"Thank you." Gu Chen'an nodded politely at them.
Then he took out an exquisite box from his pocket and walked up to Old Master Liu with both hands presenting it open.
"Old Master, I'm here to wish you a happy birthday!"
Upon seeing Gu Chen'an, a gentle and charming look appeared in Liu Mingrui's eyes. But the next second, from the corner of her eyes, she noticed Su Qianmo behind Gu Chen'an, who kept attracting admiring glances from the men present.
Instantly, her expression froze and her lips pouted involuntarily.
Damn it!
Liu Mingrui cursed in her heart.
That wretched Gu Chen'an, why did he have to bring Su Qianmo?
What a jerk!
My father just said that I liked him, yet the very next second he appeared with Su Qianmo. Where does that leave my face?
"Hahaha!"
Old Master Liu laughed aloud, "I was just talking about you. Didn't expect you to show up the next second."
"What did you say about me, Old Master?" Gu Chen'an asked with a smile.
Liu Zhenshan glanced at Liu Mingrui, then said with a laugh, "That you are Mingrui's sweetheart."
"Uh......"
Gu Chen'an's expression instantly turned awkward.
Great, I shouldn't have asked!
He quickly pulled Su Qianmo behind him to stand in front of Old Master Liu, "Old Master, this is my fiancée, Su Qianmo."
This move stunned everyone present.
What the hell?
Old Master Liu had just said that, and the next second, right in front of his face, you declared Miss Su as your fiancée?
Isn't that a slap in Old Master Liu's face?
But Miss Su had always detested you. If she doesn't acknowledge this, things are going to get exciting!
However...the next second, Su Qianmo slightly bowed to Old Master Liu with a radiant smile on her face, "Young Lady Su Qianmo, pleased to meet you, Old Master Liu."
Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
Miss Su didn't deny it?
Then doesn't that mean she acknowledged being Young Master Gu's fiancée?
Hiss~
What exactly is going on here?
When did Miss Su change her opinion of Young Master Gu?
Wasn't it said that Miss Su didn't have any feelings for Young Master Gu at all, and their engagement was purely due to their parents' arrangement?
Could it be that Miss Su has resigned herself to her fate?
Is she really going to marry Young Master Gu?
My heart aches at the thought of such a cold and noble lady like Miss Su marrying a debauched playboy like Young Master Gu!
Ugh......damn it!
Next, everyone looked towards Old Master Liu, who still had a smiling expression. Many were waiting for him to erupt in anger.
Given so many guests today, even if Gu Chen'an really wanted to introduce Su Qianmo, he needn't have said it so bluntly in front of everyone.
Gu Chen'an dared to openly defy Old Master Liu's prestige. Old Master Liu would surely fly into a violent rage!
Especially since Liu Mingrui's looks and background were no less than Su Qianmo's.
And even more importantly, Liu Mingrui was the daughter of Old Master Liu, the God of War of Huaxia!
In that moment, everyone expected to witness Old Master Liu's furious outburst.
But unexpectedly... Old Master Liu looked over Su Qianmo, laughed loudly and said, "Graceful and gentle, a true young lady." He even glanced at Liu Mingrui and added, "Mingrui, you should learn from her."
Seeing Old Master Liu's reaction stunned everyone.
What the hell?
Not only was Old Master Liu not angry that Young Master Gu had defied him and slapped his face, but instead told Liu Mingrui to learn from Miss Su?
Doesn't that imply that Old Master Liu supports his daughter's feelings?
Damn!
Upon realizing this, everyone was greatly shocked.
What charm does Young Master Gu possess to make Old Master Liu and Liu Mingrui act this way?
This is just unbelievable!
"Hmph!"
Just then, Liu Mingrui let out a cold snort. Crossing her arms, she said, "Chen'an doesn't even like Sister Su's personality. What do I have to learn?"
Doesn't like her personality???
Everyone was baffled when they heard this.
The whole Donghai knew how desperately Young Master Gu loved Miss Su. But Liu Mingrui actually said that Young Master Gu didn't like Miss Su's personality? How was this possible?
"Alright! Let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, Mingrui, if you want to compete with Miss Su for Chen'an, you'll have to change your personality." Liu Zhenshan spoke up.
Hearing this, many felt their hearts skip a beat.
If before they only had guesses, then Old Master Liu's words just confirmed it.
That's right. The Liu family's eldest young lady, the daughter of China's God of War, Liu Mingrui, harbored one-sided feelings for Young Master Gu!
My god!
This news was just too shocking?!
Young Master Gu's notoriety spread throughout Donghai, yet Liu Mingrui still liked him?
Could it be that because Liu Mingrui had just returned to Donghai, she hadn't heard those rumors about him?
Everyone was dumbfounded, completely puzzled by the situation.
And there was another thing they couldn't figure out.
That was Miss Su, who had always spoken cold, harsh words, despising Young Master Gu to no end, actually didn't deny being his fiancée.
Adding these two things together, everyone simply felt their heads spinning.
Oh no, my CPU is going to blow!
