"Here, Young Madam." Nanny Zhang handed the box in her hand to her and smiled as she turned to leave. Gu Ruochu opened the layer of black velvet and was stunned by the European-style intricate diamond necklace.
There were also some red high-heeled shoes that would look very eye-catching with the gown she was wearing.
Gu Ruochu l wore the diamond necklace around her neck looked at it in the mirror. The necklace gave off a faint luster in the light, it was bright and ostentatious.
She lowered her head and fiddled with the hem of her dress before Huo Nanchen came out.
He placed his hand on her shoulder and his calm and cold eyes lit up slightly. "Are you ready?"
"Let's go."
She would still have to work on her hair and apply make-up.
Huo Nanchen was gazing at her in front of the mirror and she quickly averted her gaze. She picked up her bag from the chair and walked out of the door in her high heels.
He followed slowly behind her but kept a steady pace such that Gu Ruochu could not shake him off no matter how hard she tried. She furrowed her brows and sighed at how difficult he was to deal with.

The banquet was held in the Chen family's luxurious villa. The Chen family was an ancient and wealthy family in the city, and their residence occupied a very large area.
At such a grand banquet, there would be many wealthy ladies. Of course, it was also a prerequisite for the heads of the respective wealthy families to make an appearance.
When the reporters arrived, the banquet's host stood at the door and warmly welcomed the arriving guests. Luxury cars arrived one after the other, and the individuals who alighted them were all important figures rarely seen in the city.
Although the Yang Family's status in the city was not as high as the ancient well off families, as a newly-risen wealthy family, they had considerable influence in the upper-class society.
A Lamborghini stopped in front of the red carpet, and Yang Xi got out of the car and held her brother's hand. The reporters took pictures of the siblings in excitement, and Yang Xi revealed a playful and cute smile.
However, the media was still waiting patiently waiting for one person. What these reporters wanted to see the most was the appearance of one of the city's greatest myths, Huo Nanchen.
"Miss Yang has become even more beautiful."
"Thank you for the compliment."
The guests entered the venue and automatically began chatting with any familiar face they could find.
Watching the time slowly pass, the head of the Chen family, Chen Yisheng, kept looking at the big clock on the wall. It was as if he waiting for someone special to appear.
"Yisheng, is Huo not here yet? Didn't he say he would be here?" A rich lady stood beside him and looked anxiously at the door.
The Chen family wasn't the only one looking forward to Huo's arrival. The other distinguished guests also anticipated his arrival. Many people had heard of his reputation, but they had never really met him.
He was a legend in Nan Cheng. They simply wanted to meet him. Huo Nanchen rarely appeared in public. He did not even attend his own parties.
"Huo said he will be here, so he will definitely come." Although Chen Yisheng was anxious, he still comforted himself. "By the way, is Liu Feishi here yet?"
They had specially invited a popular female celebrity in the entertainment industry, Liu Feishi. In this opulent lifestyle, inviting celebrities and spending a lot of money to host parties was the best way to win over people's hearts.
"I'll go and take a look." Deng Tingting didn't know if Liu Feishi had arrived. After all, these female celebrities always acted like big shots and were always late for all their events.
She had only taken a few steps when she saw her son rushing over with a face full of joy. "Mom, there's no need to look. Liu Feishi has arrived and is currently applying makeup."
Usually, she would act like a big shot just to show off her status. However, now that a big shot like Huo Nanchen was about to attend this party, Liu Feishi was more proactive than anyone else.
Chen Yisheng took a look and saw Liu Feishi walking over under the escort of the bodyguard's assistant as she applied makeup.
