Chapter 854: Chapter 851: They All Talk about Family Equality

Upon arriving at the hotel, Helian Qiao walked with her head held high and chest out, exuding a bold and confident air as she led the way.

A group of bodyguards in black suits followed behind her like underlings, drawing the gazes of onlookers.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they escorted the guests to their rooms before finally stepping back, their tasks completed.

However, the Little Princess, who always left her purchases as soon as she bought them, returned to the hotel, threw down a pile of things, and went to the bathroom to take a bath with her clothes in hand.

Gu Tingyun began to sort and organize the items, and by the time Guibao emerged from the bathroom after her bath, he had almost finished arranging everything.

"Guibao, the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain is for your little uncle, Xu Beihong’s calligraphy and paintings for Grandpa, the diamond bracelet for your little aunt, and the Graff Pink Diamond for Siyu..."

He listed everything for Guibao one by one.

"Mmmhmm," Helian Qiao nodded absentmindedly as she lay on the bed, hardly absorbing a word.

As long as Gu Tingyun remembered, that was enough for her, and before long, she had fallen asleep while listening.

Meanwhile, Bai Jingjing was attending a party, surrounded by other young ladies from high society eager to inquire about Gu Tingyun.

"Jingjing! It seems like you’ve been quite close to Young Master Gu lately! What’s going on?"

"Every time I see Young Master Gu, he has a cold face, he looks so aloof and unapproachable! I even saw him talking to you?"

"How exactly did you two meet?"

...

In Harbor City, it was only the He Family and Bai Family who were somewhat close to Gu Tingyun.

They had tried to strike up a conversation with him, but he was always so indifferent and never paid them any attention.

So they wanted to learn more from Bai Jingjing.

On the surface, they were affectionate like sisters, but behind the back, they were all trying to outdo each other, not wanting the other to marry better than themselves.

Bai Jingjing was well aware of their true colors, but she didn’t confront them. Instead, she smiled and said, "Actually, Young Master Gu isn’t as cold and distant as he seems. Perhaps it’s because we’re not that familiar with him yet. Privately, he’s very gentlemanly and tender."

The implication of her words made it sound as if Gu Tingyun was especially special towards her.

The others, upon hearing this, displayed various expressions on their faces.

Some believed Bai Jingjing, commenting, "That must be just toward you, being gentle and gentlemanly."

Others were skeptical, suggesting, "Perhaps Young Master Gu is treating you kindly simply because you are from the Bai Family, out of politeness."

And there were those who didn’t believe it at all, stating, "I’ve seen the woman who’s with Gu Tingyun; she’s both innocent and charming. Frankly, anyone with eyes can see whom he should choose, unless he’s blind."

The one speaking also came from a powerful family and was not afraid of Bai Jingjing, her words sharp and merciless.

Unperturbed, Bai Jingjing kept her smile and responded, "Well, men like to have their fun on the side, but there’s a difference between a fling and who they marry, isn’t there? After all, it’s important to marry someone of equal status."

And she, in terms of family background, talent, and beauty, considered herself a match for him!

When the party was over and Bai Jingjing arrived home, she was climbing the stairs when she saw Bai Weiyin walking out of the main house room carrying the Star of Hope.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she said, "Big sister, how come you have this diamond?"

"It was Qiaoqiao who specifically bid on it to give to me!" Bai Weiyin asserted with pride, a hint of bragging in her tone.

Bai Jingjing did not expect this outcome and was inwardly shaken!

How could this be possible!

Even if Gu Tingyun remained silent at the time for the sake of his image, how could he allow that poor girl to give away a diamond worth more than twenty million!
