Dong Mingmings parents, too, also walked over by now.
Hi Uncle and Aunty, said Gu Xi politely to them.
Hi. Dong Mingmings parents smiled and nodded at Gu Xi before turning to look at Gu Shao. They looked somewhat nervous.
Hi, Boss Gu, my surname is Dong, Dong Yuhua and this is my wife, said Dong Yuhua as he shook hands with Gu Shao. He felt somewhat reserved in front of Gu Shao.
Knowing that they were parents of Gu Xis good friend, Gu Shao was very polite with them.
Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Dong, I am Xixis dad. Gu Shao did not stress that he was the chairman of NTN but he emphasized on the fact that he was Gu Xis father.
Upon hearing that, Dong Yuhua couple got his hint and felt much more relaxed. Smiling, they said, You can refer to us as Father Mingming and Mother Mingming.
The atmosphere loosened up after the few exchanged some pleasantries.
***
Suddenly, Gu Xi noticed some familiar silhouettes nearby and her eyes beamed.
Its Big and Little Uncles! said Gu Xi as she tugged at Gu Shaos sleeve.
Over on the other side, Gu Feng and Gu Xian had also noticed Gu Xi and walked toward them.
What a coincidence, said Gu Xian with a smile.
Gu Shao, How come he didnt feel that it was a coincidence.
You have that much free time? asked Gu Shao toward Gu Xian as he lifted his brows.
No, no, no. I had been so busy lately that I wish I could clone myself. Gu Xian quickly clarified with the question from the Head of the Gu family. Then, smiling, he said, But today is special. I can still find time for my son.
I am here to spend time with my son, not to see your daughter. Is that alright?
Gu Xian grumbled to himself.
Gu Feng, next to him, too, quickly clarified himself as well. Same for me. I hadnt taken any time off for a while so I thought I will spend some time with my son.
Had Old Mr. Gus blood pressure not been higher than normal the last few days and the doctor told him to stay home for some observations, he would probably be there to spend time with his sons as well.
Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi exchanged a look and both saw the speechlessness on each other: They are just tools and did not need companionships. Really.
Gu Yanlin casually expressed, I am just here as an outstanding alum.
Of course, giving a speech as an outstanding alum was just his secondary purpose; his real purpose was to lend Gu Xi support.
Gu Shao looked at all of them and did not comment.
Gu Xian, too, looked over at Gu Shao and couldn't help but thought to himself. Did Lao Er need to dress so young? And then there is this family outfit. Is that really necessary?
So envious
Gu Xian pursed his lips and gave his own son a lot.
Welp, never mind.
Oh right, Xixi, this is from your little aunty. As he talked, Gu Xian handed a pretty and long rectangular box over to Gu Xi.
Inside the box was the gown that Gu Chenyis mother prepared specifically for Gu Xi for the Closing performance.
Gu Chenyis mother was having a show in Country E but, after she had found out about Gu Xis performance, she worked overtime and personally made her a gown.
Thank you, Little Uncle. And Little Aunty too! said Gu Xi as she opened up the box.
Inside was a gown made out of voile. Its was white in color and was adorned with flowers made out of the same material. It was colorful but did not appear abrupt or too over the top. Instead, it appeared magical. The colorful pearls adornments were just perfect as well.
It was perfect for Gu Xis night performance!
Its so pretty! exclaimed Dong Mingming.
They hadnt even seen the entire dress yet. Just the tip of the iceberg was enough to stun everyone.
Gu Feng, Gu Yanlin, and Gu Yanxiao, to one side, all felt that pink would have been better.
Dong Mingming couldnt even take her eyes off the dress. Rumors had it that Gu Chenyis mother was a super well-known designer. There were not more than 1,000 individuals at her caliber in the world. Even though Gu Xis dress wasnt measured by the designer in person, but it could still be considered as custom-made.
Dong Mingming suddenly felt that Gu Xi didnt even need to perform anymore. All she needed to do was just to go on stage, make a round in this dress, and victory would be hers.
She didnt say it loud though. She wouldnt want it to get to classmate Gu Xis head.
