Seeing those white and dirty substances that were like toothpaste, Xiao Ning's small face deflated and she couldn't help but cry.
Wasn't she just wearing an evening gown that he didn't buy? It wasn't that revealing either. Why was he so angry?
He tore the beautiful dress that Beigong Xiaojiu had personally designed into pieces and insisted that she change into a super conservative middle-aged auntie style dress…
That dress was very expensive!
Furthermore, Qiqi had lent it to her!
But he didn't care at all. Tearing her skirt wasn't enough to vent his anger, but he actually wanted her to give it to him in the lounge…
She didn't know if it was because it was especially exciting in the dark or because there were guests downstairs, but he let her off especially quickly this time.
Xiao Ning sobbed for a while. Thinking that she still had many things to do later, she forced her tears back.
Rubbing her hands and washing her body, she clenched her small fists tightly. "Little Uncle, just you wait! One day, I'll ride on your head too! Yes, one day!"
She mumbled unconvincingly and rubbed her small hands until they were red.

When Gu Qiqi walked downstairs again, she bumped into Bai Yeyuan in the hall.
The man was dressed strictly in a black suit. His face was slightly cold. Even when he was socializing and exchanging pleasantries with others, his smile didn't reach his eyes.
Gu Qiqi could tell that his gaze had always been slightly raised with a trace of indifference.
Bai Lang ran over anxiously and growled at Bai Yeyuan frantically, "Brother, he's gone! He's gone!"
"Who's missing? Speak slowly." Bai Yeyuan was cold and stern.
He wasn't affected by Bai Lang's emotions at all. He even took a sip of his cocktail.
"It… It was just that when I was in the washroom, Baby Gong disappeared! Brother, quickly lend me some people. I want to comb through the long golden corridor quickly and dig out that treasure too! Otherwise, I won't be able to keep my head…"
"Are you sure that you only went to the washroom?"
"Oh, Brother, you really have sharp eyes. Nothing can escape your discerning eyes. Actually, I even chatted with a little model with a good figure that I've never seen over there…"
Bai Yeyuan straightened his back and his expression turned cold. He made a call. "Call everyone and listen to Second Young Master's instructions."
Bai Lang left as fast as lightning.
Bai Yeyuan muttered to himself for a while before he strode over and assigned them the task swiftly. "Bring someone to seal the main door first. Sweep the floors one by one. I'll check the CCTV myself."
Gu Qiqi didn't know what "treasure" they were talking about.
She only knew that Bai Yeyuan was so calm when he encountered trouble. He was fierce and decisive. Furthermore, he was focused on his career. No matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like a b*stard who was so bored that he had the time to lay his hands on his niece.
On the other hand, Bai Lang was always doing nothing but fooling around with random people. He could seduce anyone and it was really suspicious!
But… the truth and appearance of this world were often the opposite!
He just had to ask Xiao Ning the truth tonight!
Retracting her gaze, Gu Qiqi looked at the guests in the hall.
At 8 PM sharp.
The banquet officially started.
Bai Yeyuan and Bai Lang weren't around.
Bai Yingzhu and Gu Xuexue became the hosts of the cocktail party.
Bai Yingzhu was used to such high society occasions and acted with ease. However, this was Gu Xuexue's first time entertaining so many people. Apart from being excited, she was also a little nervous.
Soon, it was time for the organizer's speech.
Bai Yingzhu generously used a few simple opening lines in French to attract the praise of the rich madams.
Gu Xuexue secretly gnashed her teeth.
