Chapter 248 Gu Family Banquet
The Gu family, as a wealthy family, plays an important role in the military and business circles. Today, the Gu family held a grand banquet just to announce the existence of their two newly adopted daughters, Lin Yuxi and Ye Qingqing.
The banquet was decorated luxuriously and elegantly, and celebrities from all walks of life came to support it. Chief Gu Chengwu and his wife Wang Xiuyun stood at the entrance of the banquet hall, smiling and welcoming the guests.
"Mr. Gu, congratulations. I heard that you have two new daughters. What a blessing!" A general in military uniform walked up, shook Gu Chengwu's hand and said.
"Haha, congratulations, please come in!" Gu Chengwu laughed heartily.
As guests entered one after another, the banquet hall became bustling with activity.
"Everyone, please be quiet!" Gu Chengwu walked onto the stage, picked up the microphone and said, "Today, I am holding this banquet to introduce my two daughters, Lin Yuxi and Ye Qingqing, to everyone."
The music started and the lights focused on the stairs. Lin Yuxi and Ye Qingqing were seen walking slowly towards them hand in hand.
Lin Yuxi was wearing a white evening gown, the hem of her skirt was as light and flowing as clouds, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were as bright as stars, her long black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, and her whole body exuded an otherworldly beauty.
Ye Qingqing was wearing a pink dress. Although she was also very beautiful, she seemed overshadowed by Lin Yuxi.
The moment everyone saw Lin Yuxi, the whole place fell silent, followed by a burst of exclamations.
"There is such a beautiful woman in this world!"
"She's like a fairy from a painting!"
"The Gu family is so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter for free. What do you think about me adopting one? I don't need one that pretty. If I could have one tenth of her, I would serve her every day! She's really a feast for the eyes!"
"No wonder so many people in ancient times wanted to make a beautiful woman smile. It turns out they were talking about this kind of beauty! If it were me, I would be willing to do it too!"
……
The friends of the three Gu brothers were also attracted by the scene in front of them, and they all watched intently. Li Ming nudged Gu Chuanming with his elbow, his face full of envy, and said sourly:
"Chuanming, you are so mean! You have such a beautiful girl hidden at home, but you didn't introduce her to me earlier. Look at the situation now. I have so many competitors and my chances are slim! You are so mean!"
Gu Chuanming resisted the urge to punch him, glared at this friend who had no self-awareness at all, and replied with gritted teeth: "This is my sister, don't have any bad ideas!"
……
Zhao Yu came close to Gu Yifeng with great interest, his eyes wide open, and exclaimed: "Yifeng, your sister is simply as beautiful as a fairy! I have never seen such a beautiful and elegant person, you are so lucky!"
When Gu Yifeng heard this, an extremely proud smile instantly spread across his face. That smile was so bright that it seemed to light up the whole world: "Of course! My sister is so perfect. There is no better woman in this world."
"Well, Yifeng, we two are such close brothers, you have to introduce him to me later!" Zhao Yu rubbed his hands expectantly, with a flattering smile on his face.
"Haha, get lost!" Gu Yifeng rolled his eyes at him unhappily, "Don't try to hit on my sister!"
……
Gu Xingchen's manager, Sister Wang, was so excited that her voice was trembling. She couldn't help but say, "Xingchen, look at your sister. She has such a stunning appearance and such an extraordinary temperament. If she enters the entertainment industry, she will definitely become a top star in an instant!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xingchen rolled his eyes at Sister Wang without hesitation, and said with a firm and doting look, "My sister doesn't need to enter a complicated place like the entertainment industry! As long as she has us to protect her, she can live freely and happily!"
……
When Ye Qingqing saw that everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yuxi, her dissatisfaction became stronger. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh, but she still had to force a smile on her face.
Lin Yuxi walked onto the stage gracefully, bowed slightly, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Thank you all the elders and friends for coming. I am Lin Yuxi."
Her every move was full of the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. Mrs. Gu, Wang Xiuyun, nodded with satisfaction, her eyes full of love.
Ye Qingqing also spoke up: "Hello everyone, I am Ye Qingqing."
Her voice lacked confidence, and the reaction from the audience was relatively cold.
Chief Gu Chengwu then said: "From now on, Lin Yuxi and Ye Qingqing are the daughters of the Gu family. I hope you will take good care of them."
The banquet officially began, and the guests came forward to greet everyone in the Gu family. Lin Yuxi always maintained a decent smile and handled it with ease, while Ye Qingqing tried her best to adapt, but she could still see obvious embarrassment.
"Miss Yuxi, you are so beautiful. I wonder if I would have the honor to ask you to dance with me?" A young man stepped forward to invite Lin Yuxi.
Before Lin Yuxi could answer, Gu Chuanming stood in front of her and said, "I'm sorry, my sister's first dance tonight can only be with me." As he said that, he took Lin Yuxi's hand and stepped onto the dance floor.
Lin Yuxi and Gu Chuanming were spinning on the dance floor. Her beautiful face and elegant demeanor attracted the attention of everyone present.
At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause. Lin Yuxi bowed slightly with a perfect smile on her face.
At this time, Gu Yifei also came over and said with a smile: "Sister, your dancing is really amazing."
Lin Yuxi pursed her lips gently: "Thank you for the compliment, second brother."
Gu Xingchen also came over, with a mischievous look on his face: "Our Gu family has a new princess. I'm afraid the whole city will be fascinated by her in the future."
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Chief Gu Chengwu and his wife Wang Xiuyun looked at Lin Yuxi with satisfaction in their eyes. Wang Xiuyun said, "Yuxi is a child who is born with a spiritual aura."
Gu Chengwu nodded in agreement: "It is our blessing to be the daughter of our Gu family."
Next, Gu Yifeng couldn't help but invite Lin Yuxi to dance with him, "Sister, dance with your brother too."
Lin Yuxi readily agreed, and the two of them once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
At the brightly lit dance party, Ye Qingqing looked sinisterly at Lin Yuxi, who was the center of attention on the dance floor. Her graceful figure and confident smile seemed to have attracted the attention of the entire audience.
Ye Qingqing tightly grasped the wine glass in her hand, her nails almost digging into her palm, and she swore in her heart:
"Lin Yuxi, do you like to be in the spotlight so much?
Humph, wait a minute, I’ll let you have enough!
I want to see, when everyone sees how miserable you are, will they still like you as much as they do now!
I want them to appreciate the skin they like!"
