Chapter 23: We'll Hold One For You Too
A beam of light hit the door. Gu Zi got out of the car first and helped Mo Yu hold the door.
Today, Mo Yu chose a dress from the Zuhair Murad's Golden Age series. The elegant and luxurious Baroque palace style was paired with the Cartier diamond ring that Su Mei had given her. She was wearing an extra-large Smile necklace from Tiffany around her neck. She looked as if she had just come from the catwalk, but the combinations complemented each other. It was not out of place on such an occasion.
Gu Zi was no longer a teenager in his usual sportswear. In order to match Mo Yu's clothes, he specially chose an LV black and gold shirt with a custom-made light golden suit from Versace. On his wrist was a Cuban chain. Overall, he looked very elegant.
The media, who were originally discussing animatedly, suddenly fell silent. All the cameras were aimed at the two people who got out of the car. For a moment, only the click of the shutter was left in the venue. Occasionally, a few whispers could be heard.
"Which family's daughter and young master are they from? They're too beautiful!"
"The boy is the second young master of the Gu family, Gu Zi, right? Could that beauty be his girlfriend? I've never heard of her!"
"Why do I feel that that young lady looks a little like the Mo family's daughter who just came back from the countryside…"
"That can't be. Isn't that country girl a country bumpkin?"
Mo Yu was unmoved by these discussions. She elegantly held Gu Zi's arm and walked onto the red carpet.
On the other side of the red carpet, Mo Xue's teeth were about to shatter.
What was going on? Why was it different from what she wanted to see?
The red carpet was not long. No matter how slow she walked, it would only take two to three minutes. When Mo Yu stood in front of Mo Xue, she had just adjusted her expression.
"Little Yu, you're here. Welcome." Mo Xue forced a smile and stood beside Mo Yu.
There was no comparison on the red carpet, but she could not lose while taking photos now.
However, in the next second, Mo Xue realized that when she stood with Mo Yu, she was half a head shorter than Mo Yu. Coupled with the fact that she was dressed childishly tonight, the two of them stood together like a Mickey Mouse standing beside Snow White.
The media did not care what Mo Xue was thinking at this moment. They only knew that there would be material for tomorrow's news.
The real and fake young miss in a group photo, who would be the one to really surpress everyone!
Gu Zi stood at the side. From time to time, he could hear other wealthy families asking about Mo Yu. There were even some who had already begun to discuss if they had a chance to marry Mo Yu if Gu Lian did not wake up. Listening to their discussion, Gu Zi could not help but worry for his brother.
Brother, if you don't wake up soon, your wife might be gone!
The Shen family pampered their newly returned daughter to the extreme. Not only did they arrange a welcome banquet, but they also prepared a band and various performances.
Mo Yu had only seen such scenes on television and movies in the past, but her imitation ability was extremely strong. She had learned a bunch of pretentious actions from the limited resources in her mind. She was like a socialite from the upper-class society.
After everyone arrived, the banquet officially began.
One serving per person for each dish. It used the format of a French multiple course meal, to present delicacies from all over the world.
However, all of this was just frilly in Mo Yu's eyes. There was only half a mouthful of food on a plate with a diameter of 30 centimeters. If it weren't for the exquisite plating, if someone told her it was food for a kitten, she would consider it animal abuse.
"Sister-in-law, when my brother wakes up, we'll hold one for you too. It'll be even more glorious than her family's." Gu Zi did not hear Mo Yu speak for a long time and thought that she was envious of Mo Xue, so he comforted her.
After all, when Mo Yu was first found, the Mo family looked down on her. There were no gifts or banquets. Mo Yu moved to the Gu family alone with a suitcase and began to take care of Gu Lian.
But now, Mo Xue had received countless gifts and received everyone's attention and concern. It was inevitable that it would cause Mo Yu's mental disparity.
Gu Zi did not get a response from Mo Yu. He turned around and saw that Mo Yu was cutting the steak and did not look at Mo Xue on the stage at all.
The Shen family had prepared for this banquet for a long time. From the introduction of Mo Xue's identity and background by the emcee at the beginning, to the tears of the Shen parents at the scene in the middle, to the gifts they gave Mo Xue, every segment was carefully arranged.
