"Yunxi, you finally came!" QianShan Xue stepped out from the crowd, quickly approached Gu Yunxi, and said, "Tonight's party, you are the main character!"
This statement caused many to express surprise; was QianShan Xue throwing a party just for Gu Yunxi?
"Thank you!" Gu Yunxi replied lightly.
"Yunxi, hello!" At this moment, Qianshan Yun stepped forward from the crowd, extending his right hand. Gu Yunxi's beautiful eyes turned, glanced at Qianshan Yun, and said indifferently, "Do I know you?"
Is this being ignored?
Upon hearing this, Qianshan Yun showed a hint of awkwardness. It had been over a year, and Gu Yunxi's temperament hadn't changed at all.
The crowd was also slightly stunned. Gu Yunxi actually looked down on Qianshan Yun; didn't she know he was QianShan Xue's brother? However, with Gu Yunxi's temperament, refusal was normal.
"Yunxi!" At this moment, QianShan Xue stepped forward, breaking the deadlock, and smiled lightly at Gu Yunxi, "Yunxi, you forgot, you and my brother met once!"
"I can't remember!" Gu Yunxi lightly replied. She indeed couldn't remember, and QianShan Xue said, "That's normal. It's not too late to know him now!"
"Not interested!" Gu Yunxi shook her head, seeming to understand QianShan Xue's intentions, causing QianShan Xue to offer an awkward smile, "Alright then, Yunxi, you're the star today. Since you're here, come in with me!"
"No rush, I'm still waiting for someone!" Gu Yunxi replied.
These words made QianShan Xue's heart skip a beat, "Waiting for who?"
"My boyfriend!" Gu Yunxi responded indifferently.
What, is Xiao Tianyu coming?
QianShan Xue's gaze froze there. If Xiao Tianyu were really coming, then all her plans might go down the drain; this needed further deliberation.
Thinking of this, QianShan Xue's beautiful eyes glanced at Qianshan Yun, who immediately understood and left the scene.
"What, a boyfriend?"
The surrounding crowd also expressed confusion. Although after the last press conference, everyone knew Gu Yunxi already had a boyfriend, he seemed to be a man with no status. How come Gu Yunxi hadn't dumped him yet?
"It's unfair, I'm obviously handsome; why doesn't the goddess like me? What's so great about that boyfriend of hers!"
"At least he's more handsome than you!"
"Come on, can being handsome fill your stomach? I'm worth billions, alright!"
"A beautiful flower stuck in cow dung, should be with me!"
"..."
However, having just seen Qianshan Yun brushed aside, no one wanted to step up and make a fool of themselves. Besides, wasn't Gu Yunxi an Ancient Martial Artist?
"Yunxi, are you sure he's going to come?" At this moment, QianShan Xue couldn't help but ask again, "It's almost half-past six, if he were to appear, wouldn't he have shown up by now?"
"He promised me!" Gu Yunxi stated earnestly.
"How about we eat while we wait?" QianShan Xue suggested tentatively.
"No need, why don't you go in first, I'll wait a bit longer!" Gu Yunxi shook her head, causing QianShan Xue's beautiful eyes to flash with a hint of coldness, though it quickly vanished, unnoticed by Gu Yunxi.
She smiled and said, "Alright, then let's wait a bit!"
QianShan Xue was also helpless, really hoping Xiao Tianyu wouldn't show up, as it would require changing the plan if he did.
"Damn, what an outrageous situation; Gu Yunxi's boyfriend acting so high and mighty, making all of us wait for him, is this a joke?"
"Exactly, it's one thing for us to wait, but making two goddesses wait as well; when he arrives, we must really embarrass him, otherwise, he'll think we're all pushovers!"
"..."
Many around expressed resentment, jokingly asking, shouldn't Gu Yunxi's boyfriend have arrived early? Making the goddess wait was outrageous.
"Really, what's worth waiting for!" At this moment, someone finally mocked, and everyone's gaze turned, immediately recognizing this person.
Murong Pengfei?
Murong Pengfei was from the Murong Family, which was now at odds with the Gu Family, so there was no need to give face to Gu Yunxi.
He continued, "Perhaps you guys still don't know!"
"Don't know what?" A heavily made-up woman at Murong Pengfei's side giggled, leaning against Murong Pengfei's chest. Murong Pengfei slightly lifted the woman's delicate chin and continued, "It's rumored Gu Yunxi's boyfriend is a freeloading guy who not only lives at Gu Yunxi's home but also eats and drinks there. The key point is, as a grown man, he even cooks daily. Tell me, what future does such a man have?"
"Is there such a thing? Truly a disgrace to us men!" a young man chimed in. He really couldn't understand why Gu Yunxi would fancy such a man. Just because he's a bit handsome?
"Not only is he a disgrace to men? Now that the Gu Corporation has gone bankrupt, their villa seized by the bank, and they don't have money to support him anymore, he's probably relying on his looks, lying in some rich lady's arms now!" Murong Pengfei spoke unkindly.
Hearing this, QianShan Xue sneered inwardly, a freeloader? Xiao Tianyu, a freeloader? If these people knew Xiao Tianyu's identity, they might not think this way!
If they knew how the four major Ancient Martial Clans in Fengzhou City were annihilated, they might not even sleep well just because of these words.
Each of these people relied on their fathers' money without any talent, having the nerve to belittle Xiao Tianyu?
As for Gu Yunxi, she didn't bother with the mocking of the surroundings. To her, these people were just jesters, so she couldn't be bothered. Gu Yunxi ignoring them made the crowd think it was a tacit agreement.
Seems like it's just as Murong Pengfei said, huh. Ah, I thought a flower was just pinned on cow dung, turns out her boyfriend is even less than cow dung, why would Gu Yunxi abandon Murong Bai and choose that cow dung?
Time flew by, and it was soon approaching seven, but still no one appeared on the road.
Murong Pengfei sarcastically said, "I guess Gu Yunxi's boyfriend really is lying in some rich lady's arms enjoying himself!"
"Isn't that so? It's almost seven, yet still hasn't shown up, what qualifies him to make us all wait here?" the seductive woman in Murong Pengfei's arms huffed coldly.
Swish, swish, swish~
Soon, numerous gazes fell on QianShan Xue, seemingly seeking some decision.
Murong Pengfei spoke, "Miss Qianshan, there's no need to wait like this, I suggest we start the meal!"
"This..." QianShan Xue also showed a trace of awkwardness, her beautiful eyes glanced at Gu Yunxi, yet Gu Yunxi said coldly, "You go ahead, I'll wait here by myself!"
"..." What situation is this, the poor boyfriend stood her up, and Gu Yunxi isn't angry, she still wants to wait? This guy is lucky beyond measure!
