Chapter 855: Chapter 852: No Matter How Cunning, There’s No Play

"Gu Tingyun didn’t stop her at all, he even helped Qiaoqiao make her point. He really spoils her rotten! Bai Jingjing, no matter how scheming you are, it won’t do you any good. Gu Tingyun won’t even give you a second glance!" Bai Weiyin had long seen through Bai Jingjing’s tactics and routines.

They were nothing but the usual tricks of the second branch of the family, not worth mentioning at all!

Qiaoqiao is so good, she definitely won’t allow Bai Jingjing to ruin the relationship between Qiaoqiao and Gu Tingyun!

"Sister, men are always looking for novelty. Maybe he treasures you now, but once the novelty wears off, he will naturally change his mind."

Bai Jingjing only lost her composure for a moment before quickly regaining her usual demeanor.

"The two of them are so in love! Throughout the entire auction, Gu Tingyun’s eyes were on Qiaoqiao. No matter what you do, it’s just a waste of effort!"

Bai Weiyin snorted with laughter and said, "And do you think you’re fit to be the wife of someone like Gu Tingyun? Do you really think the Gu Family isn’t picky?"

After speaking, Bai Weiyin turned and went back to her own room.

Her background was Bai Jingjing’s Achilles’ heel.

Standing alone in the corridor, the smile she always wore on her face suddenly vanished, and her eyes filled with bitterness and resentment. Her fingernails dug tightly into her palms, and she trembled slightly with anger.

It was precisely because of the second branch’s background that, from childhood to adulthood, she had been the target of countless scornful glares and sneers.

It was for this very reason that she was determined to get aboard Gu Tingyun’s "big ship"!

Then their second branch would have the strength to compete with the first branch for the right to inherit.

She wanted to see what kind of face her "dear sister" would have by then!

"Jingjing?" Their father came out of his study and saw her standing alone in the corridor. He called out to her with a puzzled look.

Bai Jingjing immediately resumed her usual smile and softly called out, "Father!"

"What are you standing here for?" Her father asked.

Bai Jingjing replied softly, "Father, it’s nothing. I was just about to go to sleep!"

Her father responded indifferently.

After Bai Jingjing nodded in acknowledgment, she returned to her room to rest.

The next day, the front pages of various major Hong Kong newspapers began to extensively report the events of last night’s auction.

Gu Tingyun and Helian Qiao didn’t go out today. They sat in their hotel room, having breakfast delivered by the concierge to eat inside, with a fresh newspaper placed beside the morning meal.

But the Little Princess was very unhappy!

Because on the newspaper, there were only photos and the name of Gu Tingyun, while only a dark silhouette of her head was visible—her name wasn’t even mentioned!

But actually, Gu Tingyun had sharply noticed they were being secretly photographed and deliberately used his body to shield Guibao. He didn’t want Guibao to be criticized by all kinds of people.

As for himself, he really didn’t care.

After breakfast, the moment they stepped out of the hotel, they were surrounded by a crowd of paparazzi who had been waiting outside, all eager to interview them.

"Master Gu, we’re from the Morning Daily, could we interview you?"

"I’m from Harbor City Times!"

"Monthly Magazine!"

...

They all introduced themselves, one after another, trying to get ahead.

Gu Tingyun’s expression darkened instantly, a sharp look swept over them, and they all felt a chill run down their spines, no longer daring to act rashly.

They all stepped back simultaneously, maintaining a proper distance for the interview.

Normally, Gu Tingyun wouldn’t acknowledge the paparazzi and would just walk away.

But the Little Princess actually wanted to get her face in the newspapers, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at the reporters.
