Chapter 273 - 273: The tip of the iceberg
Song Lin’s father was only a side branch of the Song family, but he had such power. Hai Tang did not even dare to imagine what the Gu family, which was richer than the Song family, looked like in the eyes of others.
She thought that her understanding of the Gu family through contact with the Gu family was probably only the tip of the iceberg of the Gu family’s true strength.
Hai Tang suddenly understood. No wonder those noble ladies from wealthy families would be polite and close to her because she was Gu Yun’s wife. At first, she thought they respected Gu Yun, but she did not expect them to respect the entire Gu family behind Gu Yun.
Thinking of this, Hai Tang could not help but think of Gu Yun.
During this period of time, Hai Tang felt that the atmosphere between her and Gu Yun was always strange. Although everything was as usual, she always felt that Gu Yun treated her differently from before.
Moreover, Gu Yun had sent such a strange message tonight, which made Hai Tang very confused.
Just as she was in a daze, a voice sounded in her ear. “Tang Tang, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Fa Xiu saw Hai Tang standing still and stopped.
Hai Tang looked up and saw the concerned expression on the Dharma Cultivator’s face. Only then did she remember her mission tonight.
Hai Tang was slightly taken aback when she saw Fa Xiu extend his hand to her in a gentlemanly manner. Then, she smiled.” Oh, oh. It’s nothing.”
Hai Tang even took the initiative to comfort him.” Don’t be nervous. Assistant He has already taught me in advance. I’ll remind you who you need to socialize with. Don’t worry.”
After saying that, she gently put her hand on the Dharma Cultivator’s wrist and followed him. The two of them entered the banquet hall and immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Someone started whispering.” Look, the Dharma Cultivator is really here with his fiancée. The Dharma Cultivator’s fiancée seems to have a good temperament. Is she from the industry?”
“Why do you want to cover your face? Are you being harassed by the media?” ” I feel that the Dharma Cultivator’s fiancée is quite pretty. She’s a great beauty.”
” I didn’t expect the Dharma Cultivator to bring his fiancée to Miss Song Lin’s birthday party. If the rumor that Song Lin likes Dharma Cultivators is true, I’m afraid Song Lin will lose her temper again today.”
When Hai Tang heard these discussions, a strange emotion welled up in her heart. She couldn’t help but look at the Dharma cultivator beside her.
So this was the feeling of being stared at and having to live under countless cameras and gazes.
It was hard for her to imagine how Dharma Cultivators had survived in the past.
All of a sudden, his sympathy and pity for the Dharma Cultivators deepened.
However, the Dharma Cultivator acted as if nothing had happened. He held her arm with a calm expression, as if the person they were talking about had nothing to do with him.
Hai Tang began to feel uneasy when she heard the names of Dharma Cultivators and Song Lin appear frequently in the mouths of the people around her.
She had only heard from Assistant He that Song Lin had been in love with the
Dharma Cultivator for many years. It was also Song Lin’s intention to let the Dharma Cultivator bring his fiancée to the banquet this time.
However, when people saw her and the Dharma Cultivator’s expressions, it seemed that a great battle was about to happen.
Although people naturally placed her on the opposite side of Song Lin, Hai
Tang believed in her heart that she was only the actress of the Dharma Cultivator’s fiancée and not his true love. She also had no emotional entanglements with the Dharma Cultivator and was not unable to face Song Lin.
Thus, after the initial discomfort, Hai Tang quickly calmed down. She took a deep breath and said to the Dharma Cultivator,” Let’s stay in a quiet place. It won’t be easy for anyone to come and talk to you.”
Thus, Hai Tang held the Dharma Cultivator’s arm and walked to a corner of the banquet hall, trying not to attract attention.
At the same time, on the other side.
Ever since Hai Tang sent a message saying that she wouldn’t be home for dinner, Gu Yun had no mood to cook.
Even if he wanted to distract himself and try not to think about Hai Tang, his mind would still unconsciously think of Hai Tang.
Gu Yun’s mood became more and more depressed.
Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore. He took the initiative to pick up his phone. After thinking for a while, he dialed his good brother Ye Song’s number.
The call went through. Ye Song’s first words were,” Gu Yun, the sun has risen from the west. It’s been a few hundred years.. You actually took the initiative to call me?”
