After Gu Ziyi resigned from the Gu family, she felt relaxed. Probably knowing that she is unemployed, she has been receiving various invitations these days. It's just some dances and banquets. The reason why Gu Ziyi was given so many invitations was because she was an older, unmarried young woman with a rich family background.
After all, in the business world, marriage is nothing special and everyone is used to it.
Because Gu Ziyi has been working at Gu's for the past six months, she has come into the attention of some people.
In the pile of invitations in her hand, there were some people whose names she had never even heard of. There are also some people who have crossed paths before and can barely be considered as seeing each other.
Yi Yi said: "Oh, it's okay for you to stay at home. It's good to go out and make some new friends."
Gu Ziyi could tell that Yiyi's subtext was for her to get to know more people of the opposite sex. She stood in front of the closet, held the skirt, measured it on her body, and looked at the dressing mirror on the side. "There are so many, I can't go to them all. And a lot of people have heard of them and haven't heard of them."
"Then you can't go without any of them, right?" Yi Yi said.
Gu Ziyi took another dress and compared it in the full-length mirror, "Please help me choose one."
She can still do just one.
Yi Yi flipped through the invitations on the table, "Here is an invitation from Cheng Yuexin."
Gu Ziyi turned around and said, "Yue Xin? Didn't she just get married?" The last engagement party had just passed not long ago. I heard that Cheng Yuexin and her boyfriend had obtained a marriage certificate. The wedding is still being prepared and planned to be grand.
Yi Yi opened it and looked at it: "Birthday party."
Gu Ziyi thought for a while, "It's my birthday... let's go to this one."
Yi Yi said: "I always thought that you and Cheng Yuexin could be good friends. They are about the same age and go to the same school. But it turns out that your relationship has never been that close."
Gu Ziyi smiled: "My relationship with Yue Xin is probably just an acquaintance."
"Contact her more. Your father and Uncle Cheng have a very good relationship."
"Yeah." Gu Ziyi picked a more decent dress, "Let's just get this one." She picked out the dress, then picked up the invitation letter to Cheng Yuexin's birthday party and looked at the date, tomorrow afternoon.
She thought about it and decided to drive out and buy some affordable gifts.
Gu Ziyi went to the jewelry store and bought a pair of earrings, planning to give them to Cheng Yuexin tomorrow.
In previous years, I didn’t hear that Cheng Yuexin held a birthday party or anything like that. Gu Ziyi rarely met Cheng Yuexin. It seemed that Cheng Yuexin started to show up in front of people more frequently this year.
Gu Ziyi could probably deduce that Cheng Liangyue wanted to slowly retreat to the background, so while he was still active, he tried his best to bring all his contacts to Cheng Yuexin, so that Cheng Yuexin could show his face in front of others and become familiar with everyone.
The birthday party was not held at Cheng's house, but at a hotel.
The next afternoon, when Gu Ziyi arrived at the hotel, she found that there was no elder there today.
Cheng Yuexin and her fiancé were busy entertaining guests. The guests who came were all young people about their age.
Gu Ziyi thought that she might want to take this opportunity to expand her interpersonal relationships. It is easier for people of the same age to talk to each other. Gu Yifan's circle of friends has always been expanded in this way.
Cheng Yuexin saw Gu Ziyi and pulled her fiancé over. "Zi Yi."
Gu Ziyi said with a smile on her face, "Happy birthday."
Cheng Yuexin laughed: "I thought you wouldn't come."
"How to say?"
Cheng Yuexin said: "I heard that you didn't go to the invitations and banquet invitations I sent to you recently. I thought you wouldn't show favor today."
"Of course I want to come to your birthday. I haven't heard of you holding a birthday party in the past few years. It's so rare this year, so of course I have to come." Gu Ziyi smiled, her eyebrows elegant. She handed the small box in her hand to Cheng Yuexin, "This is your birthday present."
Cheng Yuexin took it and said, "When you come, it's a surprise gift for me. There's no need to give me anything special."
The relationship between the two people is average, and these are just polite words to show their face.
Cheng Yuexin introduced to Gu Ziyi: "This is my fiancé, Zhang Siran."
They met in a hurry at the engagement party before. Gu Ziyi didn't have a deep impression of him, so she had long forgotten his name.
Gu Ziyi nodded to Zhang Siran. "Hello, I'm Gu Ziyi."
"Hello." Zhang Siran is a gentle young man who wears glasses and seems to match Cheng Yuexin's temperament.
Cheng Yuexin is the kind of gentle lady from a scholarly family, and Zhang Siran is the kind of young man with a bookish air.
The two people's auras are very compatible.
They also look like a very compatible pair.
Zhang Siran's family is also in business, and his family background is not bad.
In fact, Gu Ziyi was still a little curious about how they met. But... the relationship isn't that good, so it's not convenient to ask.
More guests came one after another, and Cheng Yuexin and Zhang Siran had to entertain them.
Gu Ziyi found a secluded place to sit down. There was a buffet too, but she wasn't too hungry at the moment. The process of a birthday party is almost the same. After everyone arrives, they say a few words, then cut the cake, sing, and dance. Because Cheng Yuexin now has Zhang Siran by her side, there may be a blinding show of affection tonight.
Gu Ziyi was bored sitting there, so she walked to the table and took a dinner plate and only some fruits. Then return to the same position.
She knew some of the guests tonight and had interacted with them before. The young masters and ladies from each family were also from wealthy families.
Gu Ziyi's eyes turned around Cheng Yuexin. She couldn't say that this was bad, but... wasn't she sure that Cheng Yuexin did this voluntarily? Quyi flatters everyone, builds relationships with everyone, and seeks a future path.
Gu Ziyi picked up a cherry and put it into her mouth, then pulled off the stem. The sweet and sour taste is quite delicious in your mouth.
She also looked at the people coming in one after another. If she knew someone, she still had to say hello, otherwise it would be too rude.
She ate another piece of cantaloupe, chewed it a few times and swallowed it. Then he looked up at the door and saw... Pei Yuan.
The last time she drove Pei Yuan home, the last thing she said was: "I hope we don't have the chance to see each other again."
Saw him again today.
Pei Yuan seems to like turquoise very much. Today she wore a cyan dress and had her hair styled in a particularly ladylike style. She looked quite good.
Gu Ziyi had indeed not seen Pei Yuan for a long time. Of course, she didn't really want to see Pei Yuan. It was better for her to stay away from such a nervous, arrogant and willful child. In case there is a wrong connection in my head, I have to drag her to play the piano and dance.
