Chapter 189 - 189: Ignoring Trifles
Hai Tang and Gu Song were pulled into the tea party by the overly enthusiastic rich ladies. However, neither Hai Tang nor Gu Song was good at socializing. Faced with the various topics between middle-aged ladies, they did not know what to say.
However, the others all wanted to build a good relationship with the Gu family, so they would mention Hai Tang or Gu Song from time to time and forcefully communicate a few words.
For example, Lady Number One affectionately held Hai Tang’s hand and said, “Madam Gu, do you like to ride horses?” There are a few ponies coming to my horse farm recently. One of them is a white dwarf horse that is especially cute. I’ll send it to your manor one day.”
Hai Tang smiled and waved her hand.” Thank you for your kindness. Uh, but I don’t know how to ride a horse. I’m also a little afraid of horses.’
Seeing this, another noblewoman said to Hai Tang,”Then, Mrs. Gu, do you perhaps like listening to musics?” There’s a concert in two days. Shall we go together?”
“Aiya, I wanted to ask Mrs. Gu out for a massage. Why did you beat me to it?” Lady Number Three interrupted.
Hai Tang’s smile was a little stiff as she declined.” I’m sorry. I have something to do recently. I’ve been quite busy. I’ll definitely do it next time.”
Gu Song also received the same treatment, but her response was completely different from Hai Tang’s.
“Miss Gu, you’re in your twenties, right? Did your family pick a husband for you?” Lady Number Four asked curiously.
“I’m not interested in men. I like to experiment,” Gu Song replied righteously.
Lady Number Four was still unwilling to give up.” Oh, that’s because I haven’t met anyone I like. Actually, my nephew is very outstanding. He’s studying abroad for his Master’s and PhD. He has a good personality..
“This is not the type I like,” Gu Song said without waiting for Lady No. 4 to finish her promotion.
“What style is that? Miss Gu, there are quite a few young men in our family. If we can get married to the Gu family, that would be a great news.” Lady Number Five said hurriedly.
Gu Song took a deep breath, then looked straight ahead and lied through his teeth.” I like the kind of man who is cute and obedient, but also powerful and strong. It’s best if he’s uncultured, because I’m afraid that I can’t fool him if he’s too smart. Moreover, he has to have a good financial foundation. It’s best if he’s only stronger than my brother, Gu Yun. There’s also a hard condition that his leg hair has to be white. I’ll vomit if I see leg hair of other colors. Oh right, there’s one more thing…”
‘ Uh, alright, alright. We got it. Miss Gu, you don’t have to say anymore.” The noblewomen listened to Gu Song’s nonsense until their hearts were in turmoil. Their expressions were more complicated than the one before, and they hurriedly stopped her.
After staying in the tea party of the noblewomen for a short while, Gu Song could not take it anymore and escaped with Hai Tang in the name of the upper toilet.
‘ Phew, so this is how socializing with rich ladies is like. I really can’t imagine how my mother endured it.” Once out of the VIP box, Gu Song heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Hai Tang also felt much more relaxed.” Maybe this is why your mother didn’t come to the party,” she said with a sigh.
The two of them chatted and casually walked into the hall. In the middle of the hall, a musician in a suit was playing the violin.
Around the seats, there were some women in luxurious clothes who were chatting. It seemed that this was the venue of the charity banquet.
“It’s more comfortable to stay outside.” Gu Song revealed a relaxed smile and immediately pulled Hai Tang to the refreshment table to get some snacks.
Unable to find a plate or fork, Gu Song casually picked up a small cake and stuffed it into his mouth. At the same time, he said to Hai Tang,” I heard that there will be a few big stars coming to the charity gala today. There’s that female celebrity who’s famous for her amazing butt, and that male celebrity who knows martial arts. What’s his name again? I forgot…”
Just as Gu Song was stroking his chin and trying to recall the names of the celebrities, a sharp voice suddenly sounded.
“Hai Tang! Why are you here?” Yu Lu walked over from the side. She scanned Hai Tang and Gu Song from head to toe with an unfriendly expression.
Gu Song was a little confused, but he still continued to take a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
She hadn’t eaten dinner and was a little hungry now.
Hai Tang turned around to look at Yu Lu. She recalled how Yu Lu had lied to her before. She felt a little disgusted, so she replied coldly.” Of course I was invited..”
