He knew he shouldn’t do it, but his brain and body simply wouldn’t listen to him.
He would just take a look, drop off Xiaoguai, and then leave, never to do anything else...
The adjutant gripped the steering wheel tightly, still refusing to drive.
"Boss..."
"I’ll leave after I drop it off there," Shangguan Yu assured again.
"Sigh..." With a headache and no choice, the adjutant had to drive toward the Gu Family’s ho...
Today, the Gu Family’s ho was bustling with activity.
Almost every year on this day, all the nobility of Capital City would bring lavish gifts to attend the birthday banquet of the Gu siblings.
Except for the two years Gu Yao was abroad for dical treatnt three years ago...
All other tis were no exceptions.
In the warmth of the hall, decorated entirely to Gu Yao’s liking, elegantly dressed n and won were toasting and laughing rrily.
Those who had presented their gifts and offered birthday wishes began to use the banquet to catch up, network, and even talk business...
For so, any large upscale gathering was an opportunity to make money and pull strings.
"Young Master Gu, it’s been a while since we last t. We should get together more often. Today, I’m not going to talk about anything else, just a happy birthday to you. Today is your big day, whatever you ask, just say the word."
"Young Master Gu, there is a new limited edition sports car recently. I’ve seen it and it’s really beautiful, and its performance is impeccable. I couldn’t resist and bought it. The more I looked at it, the more I felt it suited Miss Gu."
As he spoke, he sycophantically produced a car key.
"Please do accept this gift for Miss Gu on her behalf."
Gu Sheng didn’t even glance at the car keys, just kept drinking his wine and looking elsewhere, showing no intention of accepting it.
Things for Gu Yao didn’t need to be sent by others, especially by n!
These people didn’t know that the birthday gifts they had sent Gu Yao every year, no matter who sent them, were either discarded or locked away in storage by Gu Sheng.
Even gifts from family mbers were taken by him.
The only gift Gu Yao received each year was his!
Even the gifts previously sent by Shangguan Yu were discarded by him after Gu Yao "was reborn"...
Seeing Gu Sheng ignore him, the man’s smile stiffened, feeling extrely embarrassed.
He felt sowhat aggrieved inside but couldn’t do much about it.
After all, the Gu Family was a century-old noble house, with solid foundations and massive influence, a partner everyone desired to cozy up to.
Even Gu Sheng, who never bothered with business and reveled in luxury, was soone everyone wanted to connect with.
"Then later I’ll give these car keys to the housekeeper," the man sought a way out, ready to put the car keys away.
However, a slender hand with red nails snatched the car keys first, followed by a woman’s voice: "Then I’ll accept this gift on behalf of Miss Gu first, thank you, sir."
The woman, charmingly hooking her arm through Gu Sheng’s, smiled as she took the car keys.
"How co you’re here?"
Gu Sheng, drunk, was sowhat annoyed and irritated by this woman’s appearance at the Gu household today.
"What kind of talk is that, Young Master Gu? It’s your birthday today, and as your girlfriend, of course I had to co." This woman, indeed bewitching in appearance and with a fine figure,
wasn’t the woman Gu Sheng had taken to the confectionery just a few days ago.
Gu Sheng really lived up to his reputation as a flirt, switching won as if they were clothes.
Seeing his carefully prepared birthday gift taken by a woman, the man who brought the car felt displeased.
Young Master Gu’s girlfriend?
Psh, how many days could she last with Gu Sheng?
Being impressive if it even crossed half a month.
This gift, it was just pocketed by her, right?
