Pei Yuan came with her mother. This kind of banquet for calligraphers and painters was not something her father could attend in person. She had nothing to do at home anyway, so she came with her mother.
As for Sun Jiaojiao and Su Qi, she was the one who called them out.
Pei Yuan stood with the two of them, chatting. She caught a glimpse of a beautiful purple skirt out of the corner of her eye. The color was particularly nice, not gloomy, and the design was also very good. She couldn't help but see who the owner of that skirt was.
Then... saw Gu Ziyi.
In an instant, Pei Yuan's expression changed.
She frowned and stared straight at Gu Ziyi.
Sun Jiaojiao was talking, but Pei Yuan didn't answer her for a long time. "Pei Yuan? What are you doing?"
Pei Yuan looked unhappy, so Sun Jiaojiao followed her gaze and asked, "Do you know him?"
"Remember what I told you about what happened last time we were at the Japanese restaurant?"
Sun Jiaojiao recalled, "Remember, you said that."
"That person is the person Luo Lian likes."
"No way, what a coincidence?!" Sun Jiaojiao was surprised.
Su Qi listened to the two of them talking and asked her own question: "Today we are all here to attend Miss Cheng's engagement party. Which family is she from? Why haven't I heard of her?"
So far, Pei Yuan still doesn't know Gu Ziyi's name.
Sun Jiaojiao and Su Qi didn't know Gu Ziyi either.
Gu Ziyi rarely attended banquets, and few people outside the Gu family knew that she was the Miss Gu family.
Su Qi thought for a while, "Wouldn't it be better to ask Cheng Yuexin? She should know everyone who came to Cheng Yuexin's engagement party."
Sun Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at her, "Are you familiar with Cheng Yue? If you go to Cheng Yuexin so rashly to ask, it's clear that you have some objections to that woman."
Su Qi was stunned into silence by her.
Pei Yuan raised her head and said, "I'll go ask."
Pei Yuan walked to Cheng Yuexin and said, "Miss Cheng."
Cheng Yuexin turned around and smiled slightly: "Miss Pei."
"I want to ask you something." Pei Yuan also had a smile on her face, "That beauty over there, I like her dress, she is very beautiful. But I don't know her, and I want to ask you if you know her name What, I’d like to go over and have a chat.”
Cheng Yuexin saw Gu Ziyi who Pei Yuan was pointing to.
Gu Ziyi was standing alone in the corner in a daze. After all, she didn't have many acquaintances on this occasion, and she didn't like greeting people.
Cheng Yuexin looked away, "Her surname is Gu, and her name is Gu Ziyi." As for her family background, Cheng Yuexin did not mention it. She often sees this kind of situation, and it is also good for her to observe words and expressions. She knew before that Gu Ziyi didn't like to publicize her family background, so she didn't mention it to Pei Yuan.
Anyway, when asking about the dress, there is no need to ask what family the person is from.
Pei Yuan was still waiting for Cheng Yuexin to continue, but Cheng Yuexin only told her his name.
Pei Yuan smiled politely: "Thank you, Miss Cheng."
"Miss Pei, you're welcome."
Pei Yuan walked back to Sun Jiaojiao and Su Qi.
"Have you heard about it?" Sun Jiaojiao asked.
Pei Yuan asked the two of them: "Gu Ziyi, do you know which family this is from?"
Su Qi shook her head: "There are several families named Gu."
"We have never seen or heard of some of them," Sun Jiaojiao said.
Pei Yuan raised her chin, "I haven't seen her, I haven't heard of her, it doesn't matter. I just want her to know that the person I, Pei Yuan, likes can only be mine."
Pei Yuan has always had whatever she wanted since she was a child, and no one has ever tried to steal anything from her.
For the first time, she had a strong desire to win.
Sun Jiaojiao grabbed Pei Yuan, "You're not going to cause trouble for her on this occasion, are you?"
Pei Yuan smiled slightly: "On today's occasion, it is natural to perform a show to cheer up the fun. Isn't it easy to play the piano or something?"
Suki pouted. Pei Yuan has studied piano for more than four years. She is not very good, but not too bad either. She has always been conceited, so...
Pei Yuan walked towards Gu Ziyi with her head held high and her chest held high.
Gu Ziyi was staring at a pot of flowers on the window sill. It was blooming quite well. At first glance, someone took care of it and the branches were trimmed neatly.
"Miss Gu?"
Gu Ziyi was suddenly called. She turned around and saw Pei Yuan.
Suddenly, Gu Ziyi's mood was not so good.
The corners of Gu Ziyi's lips raised, "Is something wrong? Miss Pei?"
"I never thought we were so destined to meet here today." Pei Yuan said this without any hint of sincerity.
Gu Ziyi's expression was light, her brows were distant, and although the corners of her lips were raised, it was not from her heart. "It's quite a coincidence."
"Today is Miss Cheng Yuexin's engagement party. Are you and Miss Cheng friends?" Pei Yuan asked.
Gu Ziyi didn't like others asking more about her, "That's right."
"Well, since we are friends, are you going to perform a show at Miss Cheng's engagement party today?" Pei Yuan said seriously, "This is a part of today, don't you know?"
Gu Ziyi slowly blinked her eyelashes. In fact, Pei Yuan's clumsy little trick looked a little ridiculous in her eyes. "This... I really don't know..." She pretended to hesitate, wanting to see what tricks Pei Yuan could come up with next.
"I see that Miss Cheng has a very good piano at home. I plan to perform a piece for a while. How about Miss Gu join me?" Pei Yuan is very confident in her piano skills and has always been praised by her teachers. Even if Gu Ziyi can play the piano, he may not be better than her.
In addition to people from the business world, there are also many artists and the like here today, and there are also a few who can play the piano. It makes Gu Ziyi look ugly. Knowing what level she is, is she worthy of competing with her, Pei Yuan, for a man
Pei Yuan's thoughts were still very naive and she only cared about her own thoughts without predicting any surprises.
After hearing what she said, Gu Ziyi raised her eyebrows, and her smile came from the bottom of her heart. Because Pei Yuan doesn't have any new features, he just follows the path that his predecessors have taken. She has seen too much, but it is boring and has no new ideas.
"This... is not good..." Gu Ziyi frowned lightly.
"It's okay. I'll talk to Miss Cheng right now." Pei Yuan smiled slightly and simply dragged Gu Ziyi to find Cheng Yuexin.
Gu Ziyi frowned and withdrew her hand. He also followed Pei Yuan to see how she performed today's drama.
"Ms. Cheng, does your piano still work well?"
Cheng Yuexin was slightly startled. She looked at Gu Ziyi and then at Pei Yuan who was speaking, "It's a good piano. It's well-maintained and can be used."
"Today is your engagement day, and I want to perform a piano piece for you as a celebration. Miss Gu is also with me." Pei Yuan looked at Gu Ziyi.
Cheng Yuexin glanced at Gu Ziyi strangely. She felt that Gu Ziyi would not accept this.
