Chapter 829 - 826: This is Young Master Gu

Chapter 829: Chapter 826: This is Young Master Gu

Everyone else also laughed.

These few people were all wealthy daughters from Harbor City, each with a similar background and fortune, not quite the top-tier but definitely not the bottom.

Although they verbally claimed to be sisters, each secretly relished seeing the others make a fool of themselves.

"She’s certainly no Miss Moneybags, just a bumpkin from the mainland!" Miss Li said disdainfully as she rolled her eyes, recounting what had happened at the Jade Exchange Meeting.

"I saw them at the Jade Exchange Meeting yesterday. They didn’t know a thing, just buying blindly. If it weren’t for their luck in guessing right on three occasions, they might have had to pack up and return to the mainland by now."

She didn’t mention that right after leaving the meeting, she’d been struck by bird droppings from the sky, soon followed by slipping on a banana peel and falling face-first, and upon returning home, she accidentally shattered her father’s cherished antique vase.

"So that’s how it is!"

Hearing her say this, the look in the others’ eyes also turned contemptuous.

The banquet was prepared with a plethora of delicious foods, a feast for the eyes.

Helian Qiao spotted it instantly and scurried over immediately.

Seeing this, Miss Li and the others’ disdain grew: running while in a gown, truly a nave country bumpkin!

Gu Tingyun silently followed behind, as he never cared about those insignificant glares.

"Tingyun, since you’re new here, you may not know everyone yet. Let me take you around to meet them," He Junlin said, casually catching up to him.

Gu Tingyun hesitated for a moment, looked at Guibao who was beside him, and before he could speak, Helian Qiao waved her hand very breezily, "Go ahead, it’s fine!"

Knowing Guibao’s impatience with socializing, Gu Tingyun didn’t insist and merely whispered, "Then I’ll head over first. Stay here and wait for me, don’t wander off."

"Mmm." Helian Qiao had already grabbed a plate and began filling it with food.

At the ten-meter-long table of food, she was the only one earnestly eating.

At the banquet, the food was mostly just for show; all the guests had their agendas.

The men rushed about networking, while the women maintained an elegant image.

Seeing this scene, the other women looked at her with even greater contempt, truly a greenhorn hick.

Meanwhile, He Junlin had taken Gu Tingyun to the crowd and introduced him: "This is Gu Tingyun, the nephew of ladies Gu Qinghuan and Gu Qingwan."

Everyone was visibly surprised, raising their glasses in unison, "So it’s Mr. Gu, welcome to Harbor City."

Gu Tingyun’s aunts, having been quite successful in business abroad, were well-known tycoons in the international business circle.

In Harbor City, an international economic hub, they had even greater renown than the Gu Family.

Now that these celebrated daughters knew his identity, their attitudes transformed instantly, and even their gazes toward Gu Tingyun heated up.

No wonder he seemed so imposing; he was the nephew of those two!

If they could win over Gu Tingyun, wouldn’t that mean they could board the massive ship of the Gu Family?

"Thank you," Gu Tingyun took a small sip of champagne, blending smoothly into the banquet just like that.

Miss Li was shocked!

How could this be??

She had just been scoffing at Gu Tingyun as a wealthy ethnic hick, and now she was being massively proven wrong!

A nearby sister teased her, "If Gu Tingyun with that status is a wealthy ethnic hick, then our families are just grocery store owners!"

Finishing their words, they moved toward Gu Tingyun, holding their glasses up.

If they could find an opportunity to talk, perhaps Mr. Gu would take a fancy to them?

Miss Li stood frozen in place, face flushed with mortification, and inwardly she was filled with regret.
