Chapter 50: Fiery Liquor Warms the Throat

Gu Mingzhu tugged at the corner of her lips and left without looking back.

"Gu Mingzhu... you just wait for me! I'll make you regret it!" Zhang Zhihong's voice sounded malicious, his lungs about to burst with rage.

This hypocritical and materialistic bitch, he would make her pay!

With that, Zhang Zhihong looked at the bodyguard who hurriedly entered the room and angrily said, "Go find Gu Chaosha for me and tell her I agree to sign that contract with her!"

Gu Mingzhu walked out not too far down the corridor, listening to the angry roar coming from the ward, her lips curling up with a cold smile.

Now, her acting skills had indeed improved.

A week later, at five in the evening.

In the grand banquet hall of the Huating International Hotel.

Gu Mingzhu appeared punctually in a light purple low-cut evening gown. As soon as she showed up, the gaze of everyone around couldn't help but fall on her.

The woman had skin like white porcelain, her long hair coiled low, lips curved in a smile, radiating elegance and grace, like a dazzling rose. However, her almond-shaped eyes were indifferent and cold, with an indescribable sense of purity and coldness, a perfect blend of two completely different temperaments.

Some men couldn't help but swallow their saliva, whispering, "Which family's daughter is this?"

And someone, staring so hard that they collided with another person, spilling wine all over themselves, dropped their glass on the floor.

Hearing the commotion, Gu Mingzhu looked over and couldn't help but smile.

A young woman sneered, "Is this the Gu family's young lady? She's really enchanting, obviously not a good person!"

"What young lady? Everyone knows she's the famous socialite of Xijiang."

"That's right, she looks clean and neat, but who knows how many secret lovers she has."

...

At the words, Gu Mingzhu looked in their direction, her red lips curving. "As the saying goes, 'speak no ill of others, judge not by appearances.' You all seem dignified and elegant in your attire, why do you like to gossip so much?"

The few people were stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Gu Mingzhu to have the audacity to question them directly.

Gu Mingzhu's gaze swept over their faces and said lightly, "Gentlemen love each other through deeds, while petty people hate each other through tongues. I, Gu Mingzhu, may not be a good person, but how much better are you all compared to me?"

For a moment, the cheeks of the several women were burning, unable to retort, and had to flee in embarrassment.

Gu Mingzhu sneered coldly, apparently not putting them in her eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, she had experienced scenes like this many times, and she had also seen many monsters and ghosts in the world.

If these words were spoken by someone else, she wouldn't be able to control them.

If they really could do something to her, wouldn't they have already taken advantage of her current situation?

But since she heard them, she would have to teach them a lesson, or else others would think of her, Gu Mingzhu, as someone they could mold at will.

At this moment, the luxurious European-style banquet hall was brightly lit, with huge European crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling over ten meters high. The long table was filled with delicacies and champagne, reflecting dazzling light under the illumination of the lights.

Seeing such a grand scene, Gu Mingzhu's eyes flashed with mockery.

Today was Granny Gu's seventieth birthday, and Granny Gu had always been flamboyant and extravagant. This birthday celebration was naturally even more grandiose, extravagantly extravagant.

It was as if she was afraid that others would look down on the Gu family.

Gu Mingzhu walked to the long table, picked up a glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp.

The fiery liquor warmed her throat, and she curved her red lips, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes gleaming with calculation.
