Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Gu Ming_1 Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Gu Ming_1 “And who might this be?” Gu Ming had no previous acquaintance with Qiao Xiaren. She was no member of his social circle, though her stunning beauty was impossible to overlook.
“Hello, I am Qiao Xiaren.” With a subtle smile on her face and a demeanor showing neither arrogance nor submissiveness, she had a refreshing presence, akin to a breath of fresh air under the clear moonlight.
“Qiao Xiaren? Why does this name sound familiar?” Pei Ningxuan furrowed her brows in thought. Suddenly, she remembered and excitedly clapped her hands, “Oh my god, Nangong Qin! I remember you played Nangong Qin! I watched the show last night. I never thought I’d meet the real person here! You are even more beautiful in person than on the screen!”
Just as she was preparing to rush over for an autograph, she was emotionlessly reeled in by her husband. Pei Ningxuan couldn’t help but puff up her cheeks; this vinegar jar was jealous even of a woman!
But… what a beauty! Suddenly she felt a tad resentful towards her husband. If only Qiao Xiaren knew, she had inadvertently become an assassin of women…
As Qiao Xiaren turned to face Gu Changjia, she met his fervent, worshipped gaze that mirrored the brilliance of a light bulb. The adoring look in his eyes gave everyone present goosebumps.
“Goddess! You’re my goddess! Your driving skills completely outdid my brother Lu! Can you tell me what move that was? Could it be the long-lost technique of the car racing world…”
Gu Changjia felt like he was babbling. That scene of street racing had nearly made his heart leap out of his chest, just like a Hollywood blockbuster. His mind was filled with images of Qiao Xiaren’s cool maneuvers, stirring up his blood and bile.
Qiao Xiaren was used to adoration, so Gu Changjia’s actions didn’t surprise her. She just smiled calmly and asked: “What’s your name, sweetheart?”
“Goddess, my name is Gu Changjia!” Seeing Qiao Xiaren’s aloof elegance, Gu Changjia couldn’t help but be elated. Qiao Xiaren couldn’t help but laugh, he was indeed somewhat like Yeqian, both slightly fools.
Why did it feel like she was recruiting a lackey?
Lu Qian gritted his teeth, giving Gu Changjia a reproachful glance. This betrayal had been way too quick!
“Hey, there’s my little sister!” Shangguan Ye had apparently recognized Qiao Xiaren. The moment she made her entrance, he had felt a sense of familiarity. Never could he have guessed that it really was Qiao Xiaren.
What a coincidence, running into her every time.
Upon hearing a familiar voice, Qiao Xiaren’s mouth twitched slightly. Sure enough, she saw the debonair Shangguan Ye, the distinguished young master, standing leisurely with champagne in hand.
Once again, Shangguan Ye was on the receiving end of Qiao Xiaren’s disdainful glance. Sheepishly rubbing his nose, this little sister really gave no face to her older brother. Could she tone down the disdain, pretty please?
These members of the four major families sure like to stick together. But understandably so; as the elites of Capital, the four young masters mostly interact within their own circles.
“So this is the woman that Limo fancies?” Gu Ming laughed, “Indeed she is different from the rest. Hello, I am Gu Ming and this is my wife, Pei Ningxuan.”
One of the four major families is the Gu family; it seems that Gu Changjia, who was present earlier, could be the second young master of the Gu household.
“Master Lu, your turn. Remember, the loser dances a striptease. It was your suggestion, and there were many witnesses. Don’t renege on your words now.” Qiao Xiaren reminded the man standing aside who was trying to sneak his way out of the situation.
