Song Recomndation: Bloom By Twice
On seeing his laugh, Gu Shishi also burst into laughter.
She had to agree, they had so many similarities.
"It is quite funny, but thankfully, we have people who take care of us, you have your step.."
"Do not address her as my stepmother, she is my mother, I consider her to be my biological mother," Lu Wei caught her off imdiately.
He did not like Mrs Lu being addressed as his stepmother, he had already accepted her, so there was no need to address her as his stepmother.
"Alright, fine, she is your mother, and I have my grandparents who care a lot about , will you be staying for the party? Or do you have any shoots to attend to?" Gu Shishi asked, as she admired his look.
She had to admit that he was charming, she could see the reason her friends were crushing over him.
"I will," he replied, as he fixed his shoes.
"Would you be staying in disguise?" Gu Shishi asked again. She had a feeling that he was going to reveal his real identity.
"Why should I stay in disguise? I will also make my intention of courting you known," Lu Wei replied, and her eyes widened.
"You do not an what you just said, right?" Gu Shishi stared at him in horror.
If he made his intention about courting her known, not only will his fans be against, even her parents will be against it.
"I know you might be worried about what my fans say about it, and you are also concerned about what your parents might say," Lu Wei started, he rose from the sofa, and walked straight to her, she swallowed, feeling nervous.
"You have to understand that your mom gave your picture to my mom, thus, she might want you to get married to , and as for my fans, they are not toxic, and even if they are, I will protect you," Lu Wei vowed.
For the first ti, Gu Shishi felt her heart ripple with several emotions.
"Thank you, I think you should leave now, my family mbers will be here any mont from now," Gu Shishi said to him.
Lu Wei pouted. He wanted to spend more ti with her, but it was not possible since her family would be trooping in soon.
"Alright, see you at the party, I will be waiting for you," Lu Wei kissed the top of her forehead, which stunned her.
"You... What did you just do?" She stuttered as she held the top of her forehead, her face extrely red due to the intimacy.
This was the first ti she was sharing such intimacy with a man. At her age, she had not had her first kiss with a man, which is surprising for soone of her age.
"Goodbye," Lu Wei said, and he left the room.
Gu Shishi placed her hand on the place which he had kissed, and she had no idea when a smile appeared on her lips.

It was soon ti for the party, and a lot of influential guests were invited.
Li Qiang and Xin Yan were invited. Wu Tang and Tang i were also invited.
Tang Mo and Zhou Mian were invited as well. It was a party of class as all the people of high class.
"I just got a text ssage from Lu Wei, he will be here," Li Qiang, Xin Yan, Tang Mo, and Zhou Mian were seated at a table when Li Qiang inford them about Lu Wei’s ssage.
"Oh that is good, by the way, I am happy the twins have returned ho, how about Wu Tang? How do you want to deal with him?" Tang Mo asked as he took a sip out of his glass of juice.
As he was speaking, Wu Tang and Tang i walked into the banquet hall.
"Speak of the devil, and he shows up," Zhou Mian sneered as she noticed them.
"Honestly, I have no idea what to do, the issue here is I miss my friend, and I want to be friends with him again, but it is all up to him if he still wants to be friends," Li Qiang replied, one could hear the yearning in his voice.
"I could see that you truly miss him, I only hope things get better," Tang Mo stated.
While they were discussing, Wu Tang and Tang i surprisingly approached them.
"Can we take a seat here?" Wu Tang asked timidly.
"Sure," Li Qiang was quick to reply.
Wu Tang and Tang i imdiately took their seats. Surprisingly, Tang i did not glance at Li Qiang as she normally did.
"Brother, how have you been?" Tang i asked timidly.
Tang Mo wanted to ignore her, but he got kicked from under the table, it was done by Zhou Mian.
"I am well, how have you been coping? It has just been a few days since your wedding, I hope he is not maltreating you," Tang Mo asked, his face had a distaste for Wu Tang who lowered his head.
"Surprisingly, I have been very well, Wu Tang has been taking good care of ," Tang i replied, and Zhou Mian let out a gasp.
"That is new," Zhou Mian comnted, her face was filled with a gossipy look as her eyes darted between both of them.
"What is with you?" Tang i was quick to give Zhou Mian a reply. Zhou Mian only rolled her eyes, not bothered by her words.
"Alright, that is enough, we do not want a fight on such a happy day, do we?" Xin Yan stepped in, as she looked at the two won who were about to bare their fangs at each other.
"Let’s not spoil this beautiful day, and let’s be at peace with each other," Xin Yan was the diator between the two won.
"Fine," they both chorused.
"Now, shake hands, that would give
the impression that you understand what I am saying," Xin Yan instructed, and the won snapped their heads towards her.
"What!"
"You must be kidding !"
They both yelled simultaneously, before turning to glare at each other.
"Alright, that is enough, just shake hands, before we beco a spectacle," Xin Yan forced out through gritted teeth.
The two ladies frowned, before they reluctantly shook hands, with Zhou Mian intentionally squeezing Tang i’s hands.
The three n looked at Xin Yan who had successfully tad the two ladies.
They had a look of admiration on their faces.
"How did you do it, Sister-in-law?" Tang Mo asked, his eyes could not hide the admiration he had for Xin Yan who casually flipped her hair..
"It’s not that hard, but anyways, you won’t be able to understand it, the party is about to begin, we cannot take the celebrant’s attention away from her," Xin Yan smiled.
As soon as she was done with her statent, Gu Shishi made an appearance.
Once Gu Shishi made an appearance, the entire hall erupted in applause.
Gu Shishi climbed onto the podium, with a smile. But if one were to look closely, they would see the pain in her eyes.
Even her hands were trembling as she took hold of the microphone.
She took a deep breath before she spoke into the microphone.
"I am very grateful that you honored my birthday invitation, it pleases
a lot, and I hope we get to celebrate more years, have fun," Gu Shishi’s ssage was brief, as she left the podium to her designated seat.
Her statent was followed by another applause
Her grandparents were beside her, and they gave her a reassuring smile.
"You did well," Grandpa Gu complinted Gu Shishi, and Gu Shishi breathed out in relief.
It was finally ti for the guests to give the celebrant the gifts they had prepared.
The first to gift Gu Shishi were her grandparents.
"We are going to be giving Gu Shishi our share of the company, which is our gift for our granddaughter," Grandma Gu announced.
Her announcent caused the entire faces of the mbers of the Gu family to change drastically.
Gu Shishi, on the other hand, was shocked. She looked at her grandparents who were serious with their words.
"Father, you cannot decide to give your shares to her, she is a girl, and whether you like it or not, she still has to leave this house, would our family’s na be changed?" Gu Shishi’s father, Gu Guan stepped up.
He was displeased with his parents’ decision to grant his daughter the shares, the sa shares he had been eyeing for a while.
Grandma Gu was displeased with her son’s terrible attitude.
"So what if we decided to give her our shares? She is our granddaughter, and it is ours, we decide who will have our shares," Grandma Gu stated, one could clearly hear the annoyance she felt in her.
"Mother, you do not understand what I am trying to say, she is a girl, even if you want to give your shares, her elder brother is the best person to have it," Gu Guan countered.
While this drama was ongoing, the guests whispered amongst themselves. They could see that Gu Shishi was not favored in the house.
