ame.Ye Dongyang looked at him with the eyes of someone discovering a new continent."Big brother, I've discovered that Miss Xu is really a…""What is a treasure" Gu Xicheng interrupted him, noncommittal...As soon as she stood still, several women wearing all sorts of fancy masks, which couldn't hide much anyway, walked towards her.

A woman wearing a mask that covered her eyes, with three feathers in the middle, and a black low-cut evening gown greeted her first. She wasn't even wearing a coat, which was just as well because the hall had air conditioning.

“Hello.” The woman greeted, then beckoned a servant to bring a glass of wine for Xu Yixue and introduced herself: “My name is Zhu Liping. It’s nice to meet you.”

Another woman introduced herself.

"I am Huang Xiaocheng." This person is wearing a champagne-colored backless evening gown.

"I am Chen Hao." This person was wearing a butterfly evening gown with an exposed shoulder.

Chulo glanced at the three of them, his gaze shifting to the goblet in front of him.

Zhu Liping looked at Xu Yixue, a smirk playing on her lips. She said in a teasing tone, "Dare I say the woman brought by Mr. Gu is afraid of alcohol"

Huaxiang and Chenhao immediately covered their mouths and giggled.

Xu Yixue pursed her lips and looked at the three people, saying bluntly: "Why should I get to know you"

The smiles on the three faces vanished simultaneously.

Xu Yixue's lips curled up: "You guys are trying to get close to me just to get closer to President Gu. As his female companion, would I be foolish enough to give you that opportunity"

After finishing her statement, she walked away to the side under the incredulous stares of three women.

Three women glanced at each other, their eyes filled with displeasure. They didn't follow after him, but instead went over to stand beside another group of women standing there.

Xu Yixue stood in a relatively quiet corner, watching the hall.

Gu Xicheng's coldness must have been too intense, as the men who rushed over soon couldn't withstand it and dispersed most of them.

At this time, his gaze swept across the hall. When it landed on Xu Yixue standing by the side, his brow furrowed.

Xu Yixue pretended not to see, turning her head to look at a complex and vibrant oil painting on the wall beside her.

But just then, Ouyang Hai's eldest son, Ouyang Yannan, came over personally to invite her: "Beautiful lady, hello, please come this way."

Xue also couldn't really ignore Gu Xichen, so she followed him.

The host, Ou Yang Hai, raised his glass and smiled as he addressed the guests at the banquet, saying in his opening remarks, "The most important thing about tonight's dinner is to celebrate the successful cooperation between our Tong Ling Group and Sheng Yu Group."

Then, she personally handed Gu Xicheng a glass of wine and raised her glass to him: "Mr. Gu, I toast to you."

Gu XiCheng took the glass from his hand and sipped lightly.

Ou Yang Hai was overjoyed and downed his cup of wine in one gulp. He signaled the servant to refill it and then said to Xu Yi Xue, "Beautiful lady, I raise a toast to you."

On the surface, men all seem very courteous. At a banquet, the host usually gives a toast to the guests, and will especially give a toast to the female companion of each guest.

Xu Yi Xue knew the procedure. She didn't often attend banquets, of course she also knew everything about banquets, so she reached out to prepare to take wine from the tray held by the servant beside her.

But she was stopped by Gu Xicheng's hand pressing down on the back of her hand.

"She won't drink."

The scene once again fell silent.

Everyone looked at Xu Yixue, their hearts shocked, thinking: President Gu actually protects a woman so much!, why don't we go eat something""Good."She pointed to a couch in the corner. "I'll just sit over there, I won't wander off."She hadn't eaten much for breakfast and hadn't had lunch yet, so her stomach...
