Chapter 53: Just Watching the Show?

Looking back now, Gu Mingzhu didn't know why she disliked her at first, but she thought it was probably because of their first meeting. She sensed the greed and malice in her eyes.

"What? Scared now? It's not too late to kneel down and beg me." Gu Chaoxia sneered.

Gu Mingzhu chuckled coldly, looking the woman up and down, and said lightly, "I advise you to spend your money on dressing up instead. Maybe buy a few pounds of walnuts to nourish your brain. Oh, a few pounds might not be enough for you."

"Gu Mingzhu! You... you!!!" Gu Chaoxia's whole body trembled with anger at Gu Mingzhu's words.

Gu Mingzhu smiled, her red lips curling, "Well, it's all my fault for expecting too much from you. After all, you've been lazy and ignorant since childhood. How could I expect you to suddenly become smart?"

"You!!! What do you mean, Gu Mingzhu!"

Gu Chaoxia glared at her with resentment, her nostrils flaring, trembling with anger.

Gu Mingzhu's eyes were cold, tinged with mockery. "If I kneel down and beg you, will you give me this batch of goods? No, right? So how foolish I must be, just like you, to offer my face to be slapped?"

"You! Just you wait... Gu Mingzhu, I won't let you off!"

Gu Chaoxia was so angry that her previously pretty face looked distorted.

Gu Mingzhu's eyes were cold as she looked straight at her, smiling as she spoke, "Gu Chaoxia, you need to understand that there are many things I can do that you can't, so for the Gu family, I'm far more useful than you."

Gu Chaoxia hated her condescending attitude the most. She shouted angrily, "Yes, I can't do things like selling my body for sex like you, or tarnishing the reputation of the Gu family. I can't sink as low as you, can't be as shameless as you..."

Gu Mingzhu didn't pay much attention to her words, considering all the dirty things the Gu family had done over the years.

Before she could speak, she felt a playful gaze fall on her, tinged with deep coldness.

She looked up and met the deep, inscrutable eyes of Yan Jingcheng.

Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a few seconds. She never expected that this scoundrel would deign to come to Grandma Gu's birthday banquet.

She quietly assessed the man not far away. He was wearing a navy blue suit, no tie, with two buttons open at the collar, exuding a hint of arrogance and dissoluteness.

Only his eyes were dark and sharp, like a chilly, unfathomable deep sea.

Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but sneer. He dressed decently enough, but why did he come to the Gu family's banquet?

Could it be... he wanted to meddle in Zhang Zhihong's smuggling operation?

At the thought, Gu Mingzhu's heart tightened.

She had worked so hard to arrange everything; she couldn't let this scoundrel ruin her plans.

She no longer cared about Gu Chaoxia and instead, holding a glass of wine, she walked towards Yan Jingcheng. "The Gu family really has some face, to be able to invite the Fourth Young Master."

Yan Jingcheng glanced at her, the woman's red lips slightly pouting, seeming unhappy, yet also carrying a hint of coquetry and intimacy, exceptionally enticing.

Yan Jingcheng hooked his lips, reaching out to circle her slender waist and pulling her into his arms, saying in a deep voice, "Come and watch the show."

The woman's waist was slender and soft, with a faint fragrance, only causing his gaze to darken a few shades.

Gu Mingzhu looked up at him, her red lips parting slightly as she continued to probe, "Just watching the show?"
