-in-law. As he picked up his teacup, he winked at Xu Yixue, who sighed helplessly. 。The doors to the academic hall swung open from the outside, revealing a figure of icy and aloof elegance standing b...The two of them went to the parking lot and got into the car, they didn't even bring Jichuan. Aren't they afraid there will be danger

Gu Xicheng told her about it.

"Tonight's dinner is hosted by Ou Yang Hai, the chairman of the Spiritual Group. When you get there, don't pay attention to anyone, just stay by my side."

Xu Yi Xue gave him a glance with an "oh" look.

Gu Xi Cheng fell silent for a few seconds before continuing, "There's a communicator inside your earring. If you're not with me at any point, just press here."

"As he said that, he tapped her ear stud with his phone, "Then you'll be able to contact me."

Xu Yixue raised her hand and pressed it, sure enough, she saw the red light flashing on the pin attached to his suit.

Xu Yixue poked at the brooch on his chest with her finger, and asked, "Is there going to be any danger tonight"

"No, just precaution. Katsunari will have people waiting nearby, so it'll be fine."

"Really"

"Hmm."

After pressing on the brooch, Xi Yixue actually felt her earring vibrate twice.

She earnestly said, "The person who designed this is truly amazing. The electronic technology of Shengyu Group indeed lives up to its reputation."

Gu XiCheng glanced at her sparkling eyes and didn't speak again.

It wasn't until almost half past six that the car stopped in front of a flower-garden villa with ornate iron gates.

At this time, besides the guards, there were no guests by the door. It was obvious that the guests had already entered a long time ago.

As soon as the car came to a stop, the guard standing by the villa gate immediately went inside to report.

Gu Xicheng was not in a hurry to open the door and go down. He first took out a mask from beside him and gave it to Xu Yixue: "Put on the mask."

It is a black phoenix-shaped mask with delicate carvings, appearing both mysterious and noble. It covers the area above the nose.

Xu Yixue put on the mask, then slipped on those pair of slender high heels.

At this time, several men strode out of the villa, some middle-aged and some young.

These people are the villa owner, Ou Yang Hai, and his two sons and nephews.

As soon as they arrived at the car, Ou Yanghai came over and lightly knocked on the car window a few times.

Only after seeing Xu Yixue put on the mask did he lower his car window.

Upon seeing Gu Xicheng, Ou Yanghai immediately beamed with enthusiasm: "Mr. Gu, welcome to our family dinner."

Gu Xicheng nodded at him.

Getting out of the car, Ou Yang Hai and the young man hurried to make way for him. Just as they were about to approach him, he walked past them and opened the passenger door.

Ou Yanghai and the youth both unexpectedly looked towards the car. When several people saw Xu Yixue getting out of the car, their hearts were simultaneously shocked thinking: President Gu actually brought a female companion! This lady couldn't possibly be President Gu's...

A few people hadn't finished thinking when they suddenly widened their eyes.

Xue wears heels up to 5 centimeters high on a regular basis, which is her limit. This was her first time wearing such high heels, and she found them very uncomfortable. When she got out of the car, she didn't manage her angle well and her heel got stuck on the car's floor mat.

Xu Yixue was dumbfounded.

Gu Xicheng frowned as soon as he saw her like that, bent down and reached out to grab her ankle.

The warmth of her palm on his skin made Xi Xue reflexively pull her feet away.

"Don't move!"

After a low, warning voice, he helped her free her shoes from the mat.

Xu Yixue glanced at him before getting out of the car.

After she got off the car, she didn't expect that wearing these shoes would require balance. One moment of inattention, her foot twisted, and if Gu Xicheng hadn't quickly grabbed her wrist, she would have fallen.

Xu Yixue frowned and said, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have worn such high heels."

Gu Xicheng looked at her beautiful ankles and said, "If you're not comfortable wearing them, just change back."

"This can't be right!"

She's attended parties at home too, so she knows how important it is for girls to wear high heels (high heels make you taller, so you don't have to look up at people).

She stood for a moment, shifting her feet. She realized that as long as she stood straight and kept her balance, there wasn't really anything to it with these shoes on.

Stand up straight and turn your head to look at Gu Xicheng.

He then glanced at the several people standing beside him, their eyes wide with shock.

Several people instantly came to their senses. Ou Yanghai quickly took a step forward to catch up, no matter what he was thinking, he hurriedly used a probing tone to praise: “Mr. Gu, the lady you brought tonight is truly beautiful.”

To my surprise, he simply responded with a grunt.

Ou Yang Hai was certain that the woman he brought tonight was extraordinary. He had already made plans and, after complimenting Xu Yi Xue a few times just right, ended the conversation. Seizing the opportunity, he introduced his two sons to her.

"Mr. Gu, allow me to introduce you. This is my eldest son, 歐陽亞文, and this is my younger son, 歐陽東尼."

Gu Xicheng glanced at the two people before withdrawing his gaze.

Only then did several people walk towards the gate of the villa.

As you approach the villa, there's a short corridor. Turn at the end of the corridor to reach the hall.

In the lavishly bright hall, under shimmering court chandeliers, and amidst soothing music, a gentlemanly man, even with a mask on, couldn't conceal the elegant and graceful bearing of the woman beside him.

They strolled through the hall, stopping occasionally to raise a glass and chat with acquaintances.

Tonight, the people here are all influential figures in the capital's business world.

When Ou Yang Hai led Gu Xi Cheng and Xu Yi Xue into the hall, the originally boisterous scene suddenly fell silent.

"Ouyang Hai seemed to have expected this reaction from everyone. He smiled and said, “I would like to formally introduce you all to Mr. Gu, the chairman of Shengyu Group.” He then politely introduced the woman beside him: "This beautiful lady is Mr. Gu's companion."

After finishing, he made a gesture of invitation to them both: “Mr. Gu, beautiful lady, please come in.”

Xu Yixue walked towards the center.

Everyone looked at the two of them, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Mr. Ou Yang actually managed to get Mr. Gu to come here!"

It is said that the Spiritualism Group is cooperating with Shengyu Group on a project worth hundreds of billions. It's not unusual for Ouyang Hai to be able to invite Mr. Gu, given his special status.

"Could the esteemed Mr. Gu and the president of the Gu Group be related"

Mr. Gu from the Gus Group rarely attends events like this.

All you hear is that they hate women.

"Wow, General Sheng brought a date tonight! I thought he never attended these events."

"The woman beside General Gu must be an exceptionally beautiful woman, with a great figure and temperament."

"Is there anything good about him He looks so skinny, not an ounce of meat on him. How could he possibly take care of Mr. Gu" Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!

"That's right, and wearing a mask, who knows if she's beautiful or not."

I really want to see what she looks like.

"Always wearing a mask, no one has ever photographed the true face of Gu Zong, the CEO of Shengri Group."

"I'm so curious what it looks like."

Gu Xicheng arrived here, even though his whole body was filled with coldness, he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the men present.

Soon those men abandoned their companions to come over and toast and chat with him.

Xu Yixue didn't like being surrounded by these people, so she disliked attending these parties and simply walked out. trouble, but now even moving forward was difficult.Long hours of walking in the rain and fighting with four large men had gradually taken a toll on her strength and energy.The weather is still a bit...
