The current Ruan Chu was not someone they could afford to offend.

Tang Shiya, accustomed to being pampered at home, quickly assessed the situation and offered an awkward apology. “We were rude.”

Her younger sisters followed suit, albeit reluctantly.

Ruan Chu let out a snort. “I’m not the one you’re criticizing. There’s no need to apologize to me.”

Tang Shiya hadn’t anticipated Ruan Chu’s persistent stance even after their apology. Nevertheless, she restrained her irritation and spoke gently, “Should we apologize to Gu Yang, then?”

Ruan Chu shook her head. “No, my cousin isn’t aware of what you said. Apologizing to her would only burden her further.”

With that, Ruan Chu remained seated, leaving Tang Shiya and the others uncertain. They were eager to speak but held back, wary of Ruan Chu’s presence.

Fu Mingxiu looked at Gu Yang with a hint of helplessness. “Since you don’t like it, forget it.”

Though he earnestly wished for Gu Yang to accept the roses he offered, he didn’t want to cause her any discomfort.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the luxurious hotel, Ye Qingzi raised her chin slightly at the security guard and presented her business card as proof of her identity.

When the hotel security guard realized that the visitor was none other than the eldest daughter of the Ye family in the capital, he was taken aback. Respectfully, he returned her business card. “Miss Ye, please.”

No one would dare to refuse entry to such a prestigious uninvited guest.

A faint smile touched the corners of Ye Qingzi’s lips as she made her way toward the bustling hotel.

Of course, her presence wasn’t for Gu Jin’s birthday celebration; rather, it was to assert her dominance.

She had heard rumors that despite Gu Jin being the true daughter of the Gu family, they had still chosen to keep the impostor, Gu Yang, by their side and treat her generously in all regards.

In that case, it seemed evident that the Gu family favored Gu Yang more. It was unfathomable how a rustic girl like Gu Jin, returning from the countryside, could seamlessly integrate into high society.

Ye Qingzi scanned the banquet hall and immediately spotted Xiao Yize in a secluded corner.

Ye Qingzi’s eyes sparked with interest. Just as she was about to approach, she noticed Gu Jin standing beside Xiao Yize.

The hotel’s security guard had already informed Gu Zhaoming about the attendance of the Ye family’s eldest daughter at the banquet.

The onlookers glanced at Gu Zhaoming with surprise.

Zhu Qi playfully patted him on the shoulder. “Well, when did your family become acquainted with the Ye family?”

Many exchanged meaningful looks as they observed Gu Zhaoming.

It was known that the Gu family had recently collaborated with the Qin family in the capital, and before that, they had undertaken a significant project with the Dream Seeking Group. The unexpected appearance of the Ye family added another layer of intrigue.

Gu Zhaoming felt both surprised and puzzled. Their family didn’t have any significant ties with the Ye family.

Nonetheless, as a host, he had to extend a warm welcome.

Accompanied by Ruan Xue, Gu Zhaoming led a group of people to greet Ye Qingzi.

Gu Zhaoming offered a courteous apology, “Miss Ye, please forgive us for not welcoming you earlier.”

Ye Qingzi listened to the greetings and compliments with an air of arrogance, her lips curving into a slight smirk. This was the treatment she deserved after enduring Gu Jin’s bullying.

Gu Zhaoming’s smile faltered imperceptibly as he observed Ye Qingzi’s demeanor. Her attitude seemed less than amiable—was she here to stir up trouble?

One of the guests inquired, “Miss Ye, are you also here to celebrate Miss Gu’s birthday?”

Ye Qingzi nodded, her gaze sweeping across the banquet hall. Amidst the crowd, she spotted a girl adorned in a warm white princess dress. Though she only saw her from behind, it was likely Gu Yang, the Gu family’s daughter.

As Ye Qingzi observed a six-layer cake being presented to Gu Yang while Gu Jin lingered alone in the corner, her suspicions were confirmed. It appeared that Gu Jin was not favored by the Gu family at all.

Why else would Gu Yang be surrounded by well-wishers on their shared birthday, while Gu Jin remained relegated to the sidelines?
