Chapter 828: Chapter 825: Rising to the Top Based on Looks

"The two of you look stunning; these outfits look incredibly beautiful on you," complimented the store manager, who then suggested, "Miss Chen’s figure and proportions are very good, would you like to try on two more pieces?"

Gu Tingyun said indifferently, "No need to try anymore, just take the blue set."

"Certainly, customer, please wait a moment," the store manager nodded in agreement and immediately had the clothes wrapped up.

Carrying the beautifully packaged box, she escorted the two to the door, bowing at a ninety-degree angle as she handed over the clothes, "Here are your garments, the cost has been charged to Young Master He’s account, please take your time leaving."

"We have money and can buy them ourselves!" Helian Qiao declared, chin raised, full of pride.

She would not simply take things from others for free.

The store manager’s smile never faded, "Miss Chen, Young Master He mentioned earlier that he would put it on his account, we dare not accept your money. If Young Master He finds out, he would never spare us."

Young Master He had spoken, how could they dare to do as they pleased!

"Then let it be," she relented.

Gu Tingyun took the bag with one hand and led Guibao away with the other.

He and He Junlin did not care about the money at all.

The store manager and her staff stood inside, bowing at a ninety-degree angle once more, saying in unison, "Please take care," and "Welcome to visit us again!"

At nightfall, the city was shrouded in darkness.

In the banquet hall of Harbor City International Hotel, the atmosphere was bustling.

People in evening gowns stood around, holding champagne and red wine, chatting merrily.

Click!

The door opened, and He Junlin walked in, dressed in a pure black suit with the top three buttons of his collar undone, looking dashing.

Gu Tingyun was in a black suit as well, and at a height of six foot four, his presence was imposing next to He Junlin, not overshadowed in the least.

Helian Qiao’s face was delicate and adorable; under the lights her fair skin seemed almost luminous.

Her royal blue cocktail dress, with a slightly fluffy and comfortable style, did not hide her shapely figure.

She was innocent yet seductive.

The two were very good looking and unfamiliar faces following He Junlin, making them the center of attention as soon as they entered.

The men attending the dinner were either rich or noble, while the women, aside from the socialites and heiresses, included some popular actresses who came as companions, hoping to snag a wealthy man or a playboy here.

With her fair skin and beauty shining under the lights, Helian Qiao made many of the women present green with envy.

But seeing that she wore no jewelry and had an innocent and pure look on her face, they felt a sense of superiority, thinking she must be a pretty face who had climbed the ranks by her looks alone.

Just a pretty shell—that the moment her sugar daddy got tired of the novelty, she would definitely be discarded!

In the crowd, there was a familiar face.

It was Miss Li who had competed with the Little Princess for the jade sculpture at the Jade Exchange Meeting.

She had wanted to hook up with He Junlin for a long time, although the Li Family was wealthy, they couldn’t compare to the influential He Family in Harbor City.

Right now, Miss Li was standing with a few friends at a round table in the corner, sipping champagne, feeling quite vexed upon seeing Helian Qiao, a bumpkin from the inland, getting cozy with He Junlin.

One of them looked towards the entrance with a hint of sourness, "Who is this woman? She actually came with Young Master He! She looks unfamiliar, which daughter from a wealthy family is she, to have managed to hook up with Young Master He?"

"Hey! Didn’t you say before that you wanted to hook up with Young Master He? How come it’s the daughter of another family who got there first?" another teased, looking at Miss Li.
