Gu Zhiqi followed the Gu family members into the banquet hall, and soon after their arrival, the Gu family's three sons were surrounded by business associates, leaving Gu Zhiqi separated from her mother and sisters.
Yu Shuling, dragging Gu Xiyue and Gu Zhiqi along, said they were going to recognize some people. After recognizing a couple of individuals, Yu Shuling was pulled away to chat by her group of best friends.
Yu Shuling also wanted to sit with Gu Xiyue and Gu Zhiqi at the same table as some wealthy ladies, but Gu Xiyue slipped away, and Gu Zhiqi found an excuse to look for Lu Xingzhe and escaped as well.
After slipping away from Yu Shuling, Gu Zhiqi didn't immediately go to find Lu Xingzhe but picked up a plate of small cakes and sat down at a random spot.
Not in a rush to eat the cakes, she first took out her phone and sent a message to Lu Xingzhe.
After sending the message and setting the phone aside, she then started to focus on eating her cakes.
