Chapter 77 – Gu Wushuang ‘s Plan
[Sure thing. I will send you a WeChat message when I stream in the future. But the Orange Tabby was free. We have agreed upon it and that will not change.]
Even if the painting was worth $10,000, it still wouldn’t be worth it for her to ruin my credibility over that amount.
[I will send you a picture of the mythical peach in the next couple of days when I am done. You can decide then if you want it.]
After she sent that message, she closed the chat window.
As she was brainstorming for the painting, she mindlessly scrolled through MeowMeow’s next two pages of friend’s circle and unexpectedly came across a picture that MeowMeow had just posted with one of her girlfriends.
In the picture, she had her arms around two other girls and they were eating ice cream cones.
One of the girls was slim and fragile and looked very familiar. She was Gu Wushuang, whom she hadn’t seen in a while.
What a small world.
Gu Shishi squinted.
Her cellphone rang the very next minute.
Speaking of the devil!
It was a call from Gu Wushuang!
She smiled and picked it up. In came the milky voice of Gu Wushuang.
“Shishi, elder Mrs. Chen is having her birthday banquet this Saturday and Miss Chen asked me to invite you as well. The Chen’s is a prominent family in the city, and Miss Chen is a very nice person as well. Your engagement party was a bit rushed so neither mommy nor I had the opportunity to introduce you to everyone.
“So we think this will be a good opportunity for you to come and make some friends. Shishi, come hang out with us, what do you say? I will have the chauffeur come and pick you up at 11 AM, how does that sound?”
Gu Wushuang’s voice naturally sounded like it was coated with honey.
So sweet that it made one felt sick.
But her tone… the forcefulness was hidden in her soft tone, making it difficult for others to turn down.
She kept on asking “what do you say?” and “how does that sound”…. As though she really valued your opinion, yet step by step, she pushed her into a corner.
Gu Shishi took a bite of her lamb chop, wiped away the grease around her mouth, and smiled sarcastically.
She was just thinking how the fake daughter was behaving lately, and things had been so peaceful before this call too.
So that was the trap she was setting up for her.
In the book, it was described that every single SGR was on Gu Wushuang’s side.
They received the same education since they were children. The way they look at the world, the way they think, and their interests were all very similar.
One look at Gu Shishi, and she was like oil trying to blend with water. No matter how hard she tried, she’d always be the odd one out that was ostracized.
All the SGR had always looked down on her, not to mention her engagement with the infamous Huo Sishen, who didn’t even show up to his own engagement banquet, showing absolutely no respect for her.
Gu Shishi didn’t even need to think to know what the outcome would be if she attended the banquet.
She’d be isolated, mocked, looked down upon!
During the banquet, the real daughter would be the vulgar one to make the fake daughter seem more pitiful and noble.
That was on great plan that Gu Wushuang had in mind.
Except that this Gu Shishi grew up reading Emperor’s Policies and Comprehensive Mirror in Aid of Governance. She could so see through all her little tricks!
She looked at the invite that she sent via her text.
Then, she looked at her money transfer and chat history with MeowMeow on her little Mickey Mouse cellphone and couldn’t help but smile.
