When Gu Lian heard his mother say this, he finally understood that he could not avoid being nagged when he returned tonight. He could only sigh and obediently play the role of ‘Mo Yu’.
At this moment, the red carpet segmentt was approaching the end. Everyone arrived at the center of the venue and patiently waited for the show to begin.
After Su Mei helped ‘Mo Yu’ adjust the last piece of jewelry, she looked at ‘Mo Yu’ in satisfaction. She had red lips, white teeth, fair skin, and a beautiful figure. However, her eyes were not as energetic as a few days ago, and she looked a little listless.
Su Mei thought that it was Mo Yu’s first time on stage and was too nervous. She patted her hand comfortingly and said, “Don’t be nervous. Mom will look for Gu Lian when I get back tonight and ask him to apologize to you. When you go on stage later, just walk like during the rehearsal. Our Xiao Yu is the best!”
Gu Lian nodded and smiled at Su Mei. “Thank you, Mom. I’ll work hard! The gala is about to begin. Go prepare yourself first!”
Su Mei nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave. Gu Lian began to call out to Mo Yu crazily in his heart, “Hurry up and change back! You don’t know anyone at the social event later. I don’t know how to walk. If I don’t change back, something will happen!”
Mo Yu also knew her strengths and shortcomings with Gu Lian, so she exchanged very decisively.
After changing back into his own body, Gu Lian finally did not feel restrained anymore. He adjusted his clothes and walked towards the exhibition center.
The people who were invited to the exhibition were either rich or noble. Businessmen had to expand their connections wherever they went, so they could always see a few people holding wine glasses and chatting glancing at the door from time to time, trying to talk to Gu Lian the moment he appeared.
It did not matter if they were compatible or not. As long as they could get familiar with him, they would be considered to have succeeded.
After all, he was the golden thigh of the Gu family. Not to mention how much they could earn from being on the same boat as him, just the things that Gu Lian leaked from his fingers were enough for them to eat for a year and a half.
Many girls also had such thoughts. After all, Mo Yu and Gu Lian had yet to officially register their marriage. Moreover, the news from Yun Shu and Mo Xue was that Gu Lian did not like Mo Yu and ignored her.
And these arrogant girls indeed looked down on Mo Yu. Therefore, there were always a few people who had designs on Gu Lian and thought that they might be able to replace Mo Yu and become the wife of the head of the Gu family.
The exhibition had yet to begin. While everyone was chatting, the melodious sound of a cello could be heard.
The noise of the crowd gradually died down. Everyone looked at Yun Shu, who was sitting in a seat and playing the cello.
The major she studied when she was abroad was the cello. However, because she had set herself up as an “elegant young lady with many talents”, she had to learn anything related to art.
Just like that, she stayed overseas for nearly seven years. From the cello to philosophy to art design, she knew a little, but she was not proficient enough in any.
In Yun Shu’s eyes, the knowledge she had learned was enough for her to pretend to be good in front of outsiders. When she met an expert, she could use her family’s financial resources to make them acknowledge her excellence.
Just like that, Yun Shu was stuck in a position where she didn’t have any real achievements, but she was still smug. From time to time, she wanted to show off her skills to everyone.
However, she was smart enough to know that people would easily see through her if she was directly showing off. Therefore, she didn’t interrupt everyone’s conversation in a high-profile manner. Instead, she sat quietly on the side and played quietly.
Naturally, some of her followers would ask people to shut up. With more people quieting down, her performance became louder. Therefore, everyone stopped talking and turned their attention to Yun Shu.
Yun Shu closed her eyes as if she was immersed in the music.
After the song ended, the event location erupted in thunderous applause.
Like a frightened animal, Yun Shu opened her eyes in a daze and smiled gently at everyone. “I’m sorry. I saw the cello and my fingers itched. I hope I didn’t disturb you..”
