Gu Xinzhou's cold face finally felt some warmth.
This was the first piece of jewelry Song Zhen had given her. If it were really lost, she would never forgive herself.
She would never tell Song Zhen that, when he had spent a fortune to buy that pink diamond for Gu Xinfei years ago, she could only humbly envy him from afar.
"Thank you!"
She joyously reached out her hand, ready to put on the earrings.
Lin Yuexi hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!"
Gu Xinzhou looked at him, puzzled.
He, however, blushed instantly as he was being watched up close by his own Little Fairy!
He pretended to be calm, but his heart was about to explode, "I'll find a waiter to bring you a sterilized towel so you can wipe them before wearing."
Only then did Gu Xinzhou remember, right, the earrings had been picked up from the ground.
Her face once again lit up with a grateful smile, "Thank you!"
Lin Yuexi was overjoyed.
Even as a seasoned playboy, he was smitten by Gu Xinzhou.
He volunteered to find the sterilized towel and handed it to Gu Xinzhou.
Gu Xinzhou carefully wiped the earrings before gingerly placing them on her ears.
Without a word, she walked away from Lin Yuexi.
If she didn't return soon, Gu Yibo would start to worry about her.
Lin Yuexi watched her retreating figure, gazing affectionately.
He never believed in love at first sight, nor did he believe in true love.
But this time, his heart was telling him that it seemed it was her, she was his destined one, his love had finally arrived.
Gu Xinzhou took the elevator to enter the venue.
Along the way, she drew countless gazes.
The young talents and socialites who originally intended to greet her stopped in their tracks after seeing her walk towards Gu Yibo, who affectionately addressed her as "Zhouzhou."
Not only that, but the looks they gave Gu Xinzhou were either scornful or pitying.
Gu Xinzhou knew that since she returned to the Gu Family at the age of seven, she had never had a good reputation.
The label of a "bastard" was almost stuck to her for a lifetime.
She automatically ignored those gazes; being by her father's side at that moment was enough for her.
The banquet had not officially started yet.
The venue was already gradually filling up with many guests.
Dressed in their finery, they picked up drinks from the dining area and mingled effortlessly among the crowd under the lights of crystal lamps.
Gu Xinzhou had attended many such events at a television station in Italy.
Even though she didn't enjoy socializing, she could still ensure that she stood there gracefully poised.
Gu Yibo was also worried about his daughter being wronged.
Thus, he specifically brought Gu Xinzhou to mingle with friends he was confident about.
This way, no one would embarrass Gu Xinzhou in his presence.
Just then, a clear voice called out, "Uncle Gu!"
Gu Yibo and Gu Xinzhou followed the voice and saw Song Enshuo's family of three standing not far away, slowly moving towards them.
Song Jun smiled, revealing two shallow dimples on his face.
Although he was brothers with Song Zhen, he didn't resemble him at all.
The fifteen-year-old Song Jun had donned a white suit and looked strikingly gallant.
The moment he spotted Gu Xinzhou, his eyes practically popped out, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh! My! Little Zhouzhou, you're back?"
"No manners!" Song Enshuo turned to scold his younger son, "You are not familiar with Miss Gu. Speaking this way can offend her."
It sounded like he was defending Gu Xinzhou.
In fact, Song Enshuo was conveying a message to everyone: although he and Gu Yibo were close friends, he was not familiar with Gu Yibo's daughter, indicating that the Song Family also disapproved of this illegitimate daughter.
