Chapter 669: Love Above All Chapter 28: We Are Quite Destined
What she couldn’t stand most was the tender and amiable Mi Xi, who took care of Gu Xiaoxi ticulously. How wonderful it would have been if she had received that kind of care from Mi Xi!
Gu Yuxin’s face flushed upon hearing Tian Qiaoqiao’s words.
Because Mi Xi was the adopted child of Gu Hua’s forr wife, he wasn’t considered a direct descendant of the Gu Family, so at ho, he was nothing more than a chess piece used by his father. No one ever took a proper look at him.
Nobody would intentionally get close to him, except Gu Xiaoxi and Mi Xi always had a good relationship. Even when she was sick and went to the doctor or needed to eat, it was mostly Mi Xi who took care of her.
Since the death of Gu Xiaoxi’s mother, Mi Xi had beco like a little nanny.
Such a man, with no power or status in the family, who would care about him?
And naturally, he wouldn’t get close to her either.
She was even more disdainful!
Gu Yuxin glared at Tian Qiaoqiao and said harshly, “Don’t be blinded by Mi Xi’s appearance, he doesn’t even have a job now. No matter how hard he works, he’s just a poor boy who works for others.”
“What are you saying? Didn’t your Gu Family give him shares?” Tian Qiaoqiao exclaid.
Gu Yuxin sneered, “He’s not my dad’s biological son, why should he get shares?”
But she didn’t know that Mi Xi had already beco the company’s third-largest shareholder.
Tian Qiaoqiao’s expression gradually darkened. What a pity for Mi Xi’s good looks; she could never marry a poor boy like that—it would be laughed at to death.
It seems she needed to change her target.
The teahouse was very quiet, and the seat by the window even offered a view of the magnificent sea outside.
When Mi Xi brought Gu Xiaoxi in, there was already a table occupied.
Led by Young Master Quan Shaoqing, there were four other famous gentlen from City A.
Gu Xiaoxi spotted him from afar, and the man also looked up.
Gu Xiaoxi approached with her coat, polite and with a gentle voice, “Here you go, thank you!”
Quan Shaoqing took the coat she handed over and put it on expressionlessly.
Jin Xiao, standing to the side, made a motion as if to take sothing but stiffened on the spot.
He wanted to say, Young Master, don’t you have a phobia of cleanliness? Clothes touched by other won have to be disinfected before you’d wear them.
This coat worn by Gu Xiaoxi, just taken like this…and worn again?
Jin Xiao just wanted to remind him that the suit was wrinkled and shouldn’t it be ironed?
But as the words reached his lips and t Quan Shaoqing’s indifferent and unconcerned face, he was choked back in his throat and dared not speak.
“Young Master Quan, you know our President’s Wife?”
“I don’t!”
“That coat?”
“I lent it to her!”
The others exchanged glances, noticing Quan Shaoqing’s thin patience in his eyes, and they all shut their mouths. Then they started to change the subject and chat about other things.
Jin Xiao felt that Quan Shaoqing had really changed a lot. For such a matter, he didn’t need to explain himself to anyone.
Yet, he inexplicably did explain.
This couldn’t help but lead him to suspect that Quan Shaoqing was truly taking Gu Xiaoxi to heart.
Gu Xiaoxi sat by the window, holding a cup of warm tea in her hands, which made her comfortably exhale a warm breath.
She had co to realize that she, as the First Lady, was nothing more than a nominal vase in everyone’s eyes.
Coming and going, not even one person greeted her.
She and Bai Yaxuan never really had a relationship, and she didn’t mind these things, but the disdain from so many people depressed her.
Thinking about it carefully, it was understandable: who would show a good face to a woman who had been foolish for twenty years?
“Are you still cold?” Mi Xi, after checking the ti and rushing over from the company, had been busy the entire way.
Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t taken her dicine yet and hurriedly took a little dicine bottle out of her pocket, pouring out a few pills.
“I’m not that delicate; tea has ward up.” Gu Xiaoxi downed the pills with just water.
The two sat by the window for four hours, and during that ti, Gu Xiaoxi took out her computer and searched for information on various wealthy gentry and noble ladies.
She even stole the guest list of those who had co aboard this ti.
Gu Xiaoxi ultimately concluded a truth: there were three won on board she must not provoke, while she also had to be wary of another three won.
As for the n who bore animosity towards her, Gu Xiaoxi could only take things one step at a ti.
When Blue Sea No. 1 arrived at the resort, it was already dusk, and the weather turned even colder.
Gu Xiaoxi wrapped herself up tightly and followed a server into the hotel.
“The cocktail party doesn’t start until seven o’clock, and it’s said it will last all night. Xiao Xi, be careful, and rest a bit first. Don’t stray too far from during the banquet. There are a lot of people coming this ti, and I’m afraid they might be malicious towards you.” Mi Xi reiterated his advice.
Gu Xiaoxi already knew what to expect, “Alright, you should be the one to take more care. I’ll be fine.”
With an hour left to seven o’clock, Gu Xiaoxi touched up her makeup in the hotel. She had planned to take a nap, but maybe because she had been out in the wind, she kept coughing and struggled to fall asleep.
Eventually, she stood up, went to the hotel’s window sill, and gazed out at the sea before her.
As night fell, Gu Xiaoxi stood by the window eating candy, waiting for the ti to pass when she suddenly noticed soone standing on the balcony next door.
When she turned her head to look over, he also looked up.
Their gazes t tacitly, and they shared a shallow smile, “Who would have thought we have such fate. You live next door to ?”
“Quite a fate!” Quan Shaoqing smiled enigmatically. If there were so many fateful encounters in the world, he should have made her his woman that night.
And this room…
Quan Shaoqing looked weighed down.
“You seem troubled?” Gu Xiaoxi noticed the depth in the man’s eyes and casually inquired.
Quan Shaoqing turned and, without answering her, went back into his room.
