Xiang Yin frowned tightly, and the impatience in his eyes was undisguised. He raised his head slightly and looked elsewhere, making Huang Yue’s words fall on deaf ears. She stood there awkwardly.
She forced a smile, but she did not hate Xiang Yin at all. Instead, she blamed everything on Gu Man.
Huang Yue lowered her head slightly to hide the hatred in her eyes. Then, she looked up again, but she did not continue to talk to Xiang Yin. Instead, she talked to Gu Man, who was beside her. “Sister Gu, you look very familiar. I don’t mind that I call you sister, do you?”
She said this on purpose because the two of them had a stark age difference when they stood together. Huang Yue was unconvinced, and Gu Man would not directly reject her in front of so many people. She could only be forced to call her sister. This could be considered her getting back at her.
However, what Huang Yue did not expect was that Gu Man would take an unusual path. She looked at Huang Yue seriously and said in an exceptionally sincere tone, “1 look younger than you, right?”
Because of this sentence, the expression on Huang Yue’s face instantly froze. The corners of her mouth were awkward, and she did not know how to answer.
Beside her, Xiang Yin clenched his fists and pressed them against the corners of his mouth. He had to force himself not to laugh out loud in public.
The smile on Gu Man’s face made her words not seem like a joke, as if she was really asking sincerely. However, it was this expression that made Huang Yue unable to find the reason for her anger. She could only smile awkwardly and say, “Then it seems like 1 misunderstood. I’m sorry, Sister Gu.”
When she said the word sister, she gritted her teeth and the expression on her face became much more ferocious.
Gu Man really did not know what was good for her. There were many people who wanted to curry favor with her, but this person did not have any sense at all.
For every topic that followed, Huang Yue was so angry that she almost couldn’t maintain her image as a lady. In the end, she endured her anger and found a random reason to leave in a hurry. However, her back was filled with anger.
She couldn’t care less about etiquette when she stepped on the ground, making clicking sounds.
Gu Man stared at Huang Yue’s back and sighed. “This person is really friendly and talks a lot.”
When Xiang Yin stood at the side and heard this, he really couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He said meaningfully, “Her goal might not be to talk to you.”
Actually, Xiang Yin wanted to say what Huang Yue was thinking because he had never seen Gu Man jealous. However, on second thought, he was afraid that this matter would make the young lady suspicious and sad. After thinking about it again and again, he did not say it.
The two of them continued to work hard to reduce their presence in the corner of the banquet.
Xiang Li, who had been busy for a long time, finally found time to relax. She searched the hall for a long time before she found Gu Man and Xiang Yin.
If not for their outstanding attire, Xiang Li might not have been able to find them.
For a moment, Xiang Li was angry and helpless. She came in front of Xiang Yin and glared at him. “You don’t know how to bring Manman out to socialize. Aren’t the two of you bored standing here?”
“Bored,” Xiang Yin said with an especially serious expression. He did not want to attend this banquet to begin with, but he was helpless that Huang Yue kept pestering him. He might as well bring Gu Man along so that Huang Yue would completely give up.
Huang Yue was clearly very entangled, but the Xiang Family liked her. If Xiang Yin rejected her too harshly, he would be reprimanded. He could only do this.
The Bai family and the Cui family did not send anyone to this banquet. It was obvious how boring this is.
Fortunately, with Gu Man accompanying him, he was not that bored. The corners of Xiang Yin’s lips curled up as he thought about it, his expression exceptionally happy.
Xiang Li glared at Xiang Yin. When her gaze landed on Gu Man, it immediately changed. She smiled kindly and held Gu Man’s hand. “Manman, 1 wanted to talk to you previously, but 1 couldn’t find a chance. I’m finally free today.”
As she spoke, she sized up Gu Man’s clothes and was very satisfied. She had carefully chosen this outfit..
