The servants tried various methods but couldn’t reach Gu Zhuo. Gu Hai was furious and couldn’t believe Gu Zhuo would do this at such a critical moment. If they didn’t pick up Song Yin soon, it would be a disaster.
After suppressing his anger, Gu Hai called Song Yin. “Yinyin, it’s Uncle Gu. Gu Zhuo was on his way to pick you up, but something came up. I’ll send a car to pick you up now.”
Song Yin responded sweetly, “There’s no need, Uncle Gu. I’ll just go by myself.”
Gu Hai was even more satisfied when he realized Song Yin was not angry at all. He insisted, “That won’t do. I’ll have the driver pick you up right away. When the banquet starts, I’ll introduce you to everyone.”
Song Yin agreed on the surface, maintaining her polite demeanor. However, beneath her calm exterior, she was seething with anger. She quickly returned to her room and vented her frustration by throwing pillows and dolls on the ground. Due to her public image as a gentle and composed young lady, she couldn’t even bring herself to break a cup, so she resorted to venting on soft objects instead.
She found it hard to believe that Gu Zhuo would break his promise to pick her up.
However, the thought of Gu Hai’s attitude toward her offered some consolation. It seemed that he recognized her as the Song family’s daughter. After composing herself, she went downstairs and asked the driver to take her to Gu Hail s house.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhuo was busy selecting clothes for Song Fan. He had removed the ordinary gowns and was focusing on exclusive pieces, some of which were unique and rare.
Moreover, Gu Zhuo had chosen a sweet and overly girlish style that didn’t match her at all.
The store’s top salesperson approached them and commented, “This lady’s figure is perfectly proportioned, and she has a striking and glamorous appearance. She should wear something more alluring.”
Gu Zhuo, not being particularly knowledgeable about fashion, had initially chosen dresses suitable for his age group to attend the party. However, upon hearing the salesperson’s suggestion, he realized that Song Fan’s elegant temperament didn’t quite suit the styles he had picked out.
In the end, it was Song Fan herself who selected a female suit. The waist design highlighted her figure without being overly provocative, and the wide-legged pants added a touch of elegance. While it was a suit, it was unmistakably a gown.
Adding diamond earrings and a stunning necklace from the display cabinet transformed the outfit. The small changes made a significant impact, showcasing a high fashion sense. Few customers dared to attempt such a bold combination.
Even the salesperson was genuinely impressed. She commented, “Very few customers dare to try this gown because it’s unconventional. It’s inspired by a suit design, and this lady carries it off exceptionally well.”
Gu Zhuo felt out of place standing beside Song Fan and instinctively took a step back.
Song Fan found the outfit satisfactory and instructed Gu Zhuo, “Pay for it.’
Gu Zhuo finally reacted and proceeded to pay for the outfit. Afterward, he followed Song Fan back to the car, feeling somewhat like a servant.
Once seated in the car, Song Fan asked, “You didn’t invite Gu Chen to your family’s banquet this time, did you?”
“No, I didn’t,” Gu Zhuo replied with a firm shake of his head.
“That’s good,” Song Fan remarked.
Gu Zhuo didn’t quite understand what she meant. But a smile hung on Song Fan’s face. As long as Gu Chen wasn’t there, even if she said nonsensical things, it wouldn’t be awkward.
As long as Gu Hai comprehended that Song Yin held little importance within the Song family, he likely wouldn’t push Gu Zhuo into a relationship with her. Nevertheless, if this strategy didn’t prove successful, she knew she had already made her best effort.
Song Fan turned her gaze to Gu Zhuo, silently apologizing in her heart for the unintended consequences of her momentary bad intentions.
On the other hand, Gu Zhuo was focused on building a good relationship with
Song Fan. He believed that Song Fan was willing to help him because she wanted to be friends. Once they became friends, he could invite her for motorcycle rides.
Gu Hai breathed a sigh of relief when the car entered the gate. Thankfully, Gu Zhuo had returned, allowing his plan to proceed as intended..
