action. He even avoided her gaze, while Wen Lan, as always, drove her Porsche in and out of the community, acting arrogantly. Every time she saw her, she would stop and ask, "Lanlan, where are you go...In the backstage dressing room of a charity gala, newcomer Lu Yaoyao from the entertainment industry watched as the makeup artist dabbed and swirled various colors on her face like a palette, while complaining to her assistant ShanShan for the umpteenth time:

"Life is so boring, all I do every day is shopping, I don't know what else to do."

The makeup artist's hand trembled, almost messing up the eyeliner. Now that everyone's flaunting their wealth so blatantly, is she afraid people won't know she's rich This Miss seemed just like what people say, a clueless rich girl.

Only Assistant ShanShan understood her young mistress, it wasn't boasting, but a heartfelt expression. Because her daily life was truly all about shopping and had nothing else to do.

"So comforting: 'Tonight's charity, you donating to help those in need is very meaningful.'"

Lu Yaya: "That's true, then I'll donate all the pay for my previous film tonight."

This... Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

In the dressing room, there was a sudden silence. Although she was a newcomer, her pay wasn't low either. She casually spoke and lavishly spent thousands of dollars, truly rich.

All the way from the dressing room to the banquet hall, the assistant carefully followed behind, helping her hold up the hem of her dress.

She was dressed in a dreamy gauze skirt this evening. The top of the skirt was a thin layer of gauze decorated with bright flowers, hinting at what lay beneath, tantalizing yet impossible to fully explore. The skirt flared gradually from her slender waist, adorned with the same delicate flower embellishments. A floral crown rested upon her coiled hair as she walked gracefully down the red carpet, resembling a fairy descending to earth, captivating the attention of everyone present.

She turned away from the guests, finished signing on the whiteboard, and turned around. The flashbulbs went off one after another. She posed for the camera, suddenly feeling a cold, sharp gaze, tinged with amusement, watching her.

She followed his gaze and saw a man in a black suit sitting in the front row of the guests, staring at her like prey. He looked familiar, but she couldn't place where she had seen him before.

She stepped off the red carpet, her assistant, Shan Shan, hurried over from below and continued to help her hold up her skirt hem, whispering:

"Your position is in the middle of the first row."

"What's wrong with the middle seat in the first row If the organizer dares to arrange it, I dare to sit there." Lu Yao said she didn't care about her position, what position did she not dare to sit in

After she sat down, she regretted it. Because the man in the black suit from before was sitting beside her. He looked straight ahead this time, not at her, but being shoulder to shoulder with her gave her a feeling of pressure and fear.

She remembered who he was, Gu Ruandong from the Gu Group. She unconsciously shifted to the other side. Shan Shan squatted at her feet, continuing to smooth out her puffy skirt hem, muttering softly:

"Is it someone playing a prank, deliberately putting you in this spot" For Lu Yaoyao's current status, this position is really unsuitable. Even Xu Zhao sat beside her tonight.

"Is it because you just said you would donate your entire salary, the largest amount, so they arranged this position That's the only explanation that makes sense."

Well, Lu Yaoyao thought the same way.

The assistant, after finishing the organization, left by bending over.

Lu Yaya had no friends in the circle. She was bored sitting there, and next to her was a dangerous person. For the first time, she felt what it was like to be on edge.

But the man beside her, just as the host took the stage to announce tonight's fundraising list, suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered.

“Don't you recognize your brother”

With a cold and aloof demeanor, and a slightly cocky tone, Lu Yaoyao replied, "I only have one brother."

The man let out a faint smile, said nothing more, and stood up and walked away before the host formally announced the list. It was completely baffling. No one knew who he was, and there was no name on the chair behind him.

The giant screen opened by the host at the beginning showed that Lu YaoYao ranked first in tonight's donations, followed by Gu Group.

Gu Ruandong came out of the banquet hall. His driver saw him and hurriedly got out of the car to open the back door for him. He stood beside the car, lit a cigarette, and then got in.

The driver, while driving, respectfully asked, "Mr. Gu, are you going to Baili Club Mr. Chen and Mr. Jin just called and asked what time you'll be there."

"Hmm."

When Baoli Club was first established, it was for Gu Ruandong to entertain guests and conduct business conveniently. Therefore, it was located in the prime location of the city center, decorated with gold and jade, and extremely luxurious.

Today is the day that Gu's Group just secured a piece of land in the south. Chen Xinmin and Jin Haoyu, along with several others, were clamoring to hold a celebratory banquet, inviting many friends over.

He got out of the car and walked into the private room. It was already quite lively inside. As soon as he entered, everyone shouted in unison:

"Hello, Gu Shao."

"Gu Shao, why are you here so late Were you lost in a land of pleasure"

Since they were just casual friends, no one was afraid he would make fun of them at this kind of gathering.

He walked straight to his designated seat, leaned back casually, said nothing, and let them carry on.

They played until the late night, then they carried in a huge cake box. Several people smiled ambiguously.

"Mr. Gu, this is the cake we specially reserved for you tonight to celebrate Gu's Group reaching new heights and achieving another victory. Enjoy it slowly."

After saying that, a group of people walked toward the door, ready to retreat, leaving him alone.

"Wait a moment." It was only as they reached the doorway that Gu Ruandong, in the dim light, spoke slowly, stopping them with a smile.

"Good brothers, we share in the good times and bad!"

Several people were stunned: "Young Master Gu, there's no need to be so heavy-handed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ruandong picked up the fruit knife from the serving platter. He swiped it twice in his hand, and then, like a dart, he stabbed it toward the massive cake box.

A few people at the door gasped, watching in horror as a fruit knife pierced through the cake box. Before they could stop it, a girl's scream rang out from inside. They immediately rushed forward, ripping open the cake box for fear of something terrible happening, creating a chaotic mess.

Only after Gu Ruandong finished throwing the fruit knife, did he clap his hands and return to his seat.

The cake box was lifted, revealing a golden-haired, blue-eyed girl with a devilish figure. She wasn't completely naked, as her top was covered in frosting, making her very sexy and tempting.

And the fruit knife, without leaning left or right, was just a few centimeters above her head, missing her vital spot by a hair.

Jin Haoyu shouted: "Gu Shao, you're too ruthless. You'll kill someone!"

Gu Ruandong then stood up, walking towards the door as he said, “You guys enjoy yourselves.”

Never looked at the girl in the stands from beginning to end.

This group of people didn't even bother to look and hurriedly chased after him. They guessed that Young Master Gu probably wouldn't be angry, right He's not exactly a serious person anyway.

Chen Xinmin said, "Don't you like foreign girls But with this figure, it's hard to find a good one domestically."

Jin Haoyu and Xu Ze Fang burst into laughter: “Our Gu Shao probably likes something more traditional.” threat. Especially after that night's banquet where Gu Ruandong publicly embarrassed him, he resorted to his old tricks and started spreading rumors that the Gu Corporation currently couldn't afford...
