She then realized that some people were just haunting her and wanted to link every little thing to her.
The Gu family driver seemed polite and said politely: "Miss, our master asked me to send you an invitation. I hope you can come to the celebration banquet on time tonight."
He handed the red invitation to the girl with a respectful attitude, but his eyes and eyebrows could not hide the contempt.
Seeing him blocking her way, Qiao Nian glanced at the car but didn’t reach out: “Get out of the way.”
The Gu family driver raised his head and reminded her with a fake smile: "You haven't accepted the invitation yet."
It seems like if Qiao Nian doesn’t accept the invitation, he won’t be able to leave today!
The driver probably didn't know what level of boss was standing in front of him. He thought Qiao Nian was an ordinary person because he was young, and his attitude was very casual: "Just take it! This is not a party that everyone can go to. You can get to know a few more people if you go."
He thought Qiao Nian didn't understand the ins and outs of it.
A slight smile.
Arrogant and restrained.
“…This is a good thing!” It seems to mean ‘don’t miss it’.
Seeing that he wouldn't let her go, Qiao Nian simply didn't leave. She looked straight at him and raised her eyebrows: "Where's Gu Hengbo?"
The Gu family driver was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard wrongly: "Who?"
"Let Gu Hengbo come down and talk." Qiao Nian frowned and spoke in an impatient tone.
The Gu family driver was dumbfounded and stood there for a long time without reacting.
Fortunately, their car was parked on the side of the road, and the driver just stopped Qiao Nian on the side of the road. They were not far away from the car, and the people in the car could hear their conversation.
The people in the car heard the noise outside, straightened the wrinkles on their clothes, and got out of the car with a stern face.
Qiao Nian only saw that his hair had turned a lot whiter starting from his temples, with countless white hairs mixed in with his black hair. He looked more than ten years older.
Gu Hengbo was still wearing the neat modified Tang suit that he had worn in the research institute before. His back was straight, and he looked like a man of great character.
"Qiao Nian." He greeted the girl as soon as he got off the car, and then said as if nothing had happened: "I rarely invite others."
After he got off the car, the driver consciously stepped aside and looked at the girl with contempt, as if she was so tactless.
Qiao Nian didn't expect him to say this to her as soon as they met, so she put her hands in her pockets and asked casually, "Oh, and then?"
Gu Hengbo was displeased when he saw her nonchalant attitude. He only frowned slightly, but still suppressed his discomfort and said, "I invite you to attend Ziyin's celebration banquet this time. I hope you can give me some face."
“…”Qiao Nianting looked at him speechlessly, squinting his eyes and looking up and down, but he couldn’t tell where Gu Hengbo got the confidence to think he would have such face.
Gu Hengbo thought she had acquiesced, and continued, "You and Ziyin are also related by blood. She was able to enter WAL this time, and we all want to celebrate for her. You should come along, too. It's a good opportunity for you to have a meal and ease the tension."
"The Gu family hasn't collapsed yet?" Qiao Nian ignored what he said, raised her eyes slightly, and asked him.
Who knew that Gu Hengbo's expression would change drastically, and he shot a sharp look at him: "Qiao Nian, what do you mean!"
The girl didn't take him seriously, stepped over the road he had just blocked, and walked up to him: "I thought you had healed your scars and forgotten the pain, and you had forgotten who you were."
