Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!
Chapter 835: Is this your way of handling things? So pathetic.

Chapter 835: Chapter 835: Is this your way of handling things? So pathetic.

In a private teahouse in the Capital, a few bejeweled wealthy ladies were sitting together, playing mahjong.

The mahjong tiles in their hands were all made of jade, extremely exquisite and beautiful.

They had only played one round when one of them couldn’t resist speaking up.

"Mrs. Jin, who exactly has your family invited?"

Another person chimed in, "Yes, yes, I heard it’s specially organized for a matchmaking for your nephew, and you’ve been preparing for half a month, even inviting a chef from the state banquet."

Gu Qiang, sitting at the top position, pursed her lips in a smile without speaking, and only after playing a Western Wind tile did she say, "You’re very right in guessing, my nephew is indeed not young anymore, and my mom has been nagging me to take a look for him."

The ladies exchanged glances, their expressions becoming even more excited.

"Is there a candidate?"

Gu Qiang snorted arrogantly, "Looking across the entire Capital, how many can match the entrance of the Gu Family?"

The person opposite thought for a moment and then said, "Could it be the Rong Family?"

"Of course it’s them. The two daughters of the Rong Family are raised quite well, isn’t it said that the second young lady was previously involved with Gu Yu abroad? The two have a foundation of affection and are well matched, isn’t this a perfect match made in heaven."

"But..." a person sitting nearby spoke, "wasn’t it rumored online that Young Master Gu liked some celebrity before?"

"What celebrity, just a flashy swindling fortune teller who even less than a celebrity. Not worth mentioning."

Gu Qiang slapped a blank tile heavily onto the table.

"That person is just from a small and declining family, not worth your mention? Gu Yu was just admiring her looks for a while, but in our circle, what we ultimately look at is strength."

"Indeed, indeed, such people are not worth mentioning."

"Come on, come on, let’s continue playing, don’t think about leaving today without emptying your wallet."

Gu Qiang said nothing, smiled silently.

She feared this banquet was far from a simple dinner.

After all her preparations, it’s time for the show to start.

...

The Rong Family.

"What kind of clothes are these? And you bring this for me to wear? Take it away, take it away."

"This piece is okay...but isn’t the color too plain?"

"Didn’t I ask you to bring several sets of new jewels? Are you afraid my house can’t fit them?"

In the room, Rong Kexi looked at a room full of various haute couture brands’ staff serving her with an impatient face.

In the end, she snorted coldly and stood up.

"Let me tell you, this time the clothes are for me to wear to dinner at the Gu Family; the Family Head personally invited me. If anything goes wrong with this, I won’t let you off."

"Yes, Miss Rong, we’ll bring a few finished pieces over for you to see right away."

"Miss Rong, take a look at the jewelry we’ve brought, all are limited editions for the New Year, as soon as Hua Country had them, I brought them over for you."

"Alright, bring them over for me to see."

As Rong Kexi was admiring the jewelry, Mrs. Rong pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing her mother, Rong Kexi rushed over immediately.

"Mom, you’re back!"

Shi Lei smiled, patting her daughter’s head, and glanced over at the people in the room, "Choosing a dress?"

"Yes, but I’ve been choosing for so long and haven’t found a good one, can you help me choose?"

Shi Lei walked over, casually picking up a few dresses to look at.

"You’re planning to wear these?"

"Otherwise, my favorite D brand clothes, but they’re busy today, it’s so frustrating."

Shi Lei smiled, "Do you know what Old Lady Gu likes most?"

Rong Kexi pouted, "How would I know? We’re not even from the same era."

"Old Lady Gu likes traditional styles. You see, their house’s decorations are also rural Chinese style, the dresses you’re looking at are too revealing and bold, how could anyone like them when you wear them over?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Kexi felt that her mother made some sense.

Every time she had dinner with the Gu Family, their dress from top to bottom was Chinese style, quite simple.

Only the imperial green jade with a billion-dollar value occasionally worn by the Old Lady would reveal their wealth.

Other times, their family remained quite low-key.

Thinking about this, Rong Kexi hugged her mother’s arm:

"But all my clothes are in this style, there’s dinner day after tomorrow, how can I manage to get a Chinese-style dress made on such short notice?"

Such clothes require intricate craftsmanship and often need a month-long appointment in advance.

Even if she rushes it now, the dress may not be ready in two days.

Shi Lei indulgently poked her daughter’s nose with her finger.

"Of course, Mom has already prepared everything for you in advance. The clothes can be delivered soon, and I’ve booked a stylist for you to try some styles ahead."

"Ah, Mommy, you’re amazing, love you so much!" Rong Kexi tightly hugged her mother, then opened her eyes again, "Send all these clothes to my sister, she’s on the invitation list anyway."

This was something Rong Kexi couldn’t understand.

If the Gu Family already showed interest in her, why still include her cousin’s name? What’s so good about inviting that person?

Shi Lei nodded indifferently, "If you want to give them to her, so be it."

"Mommy, you’re so wonderful."

Shi Lei smiled, patting her daughter’s head, "Mommy is naturally doing everything for your sake; the Gu Family is a good match, and if you become the Lady of the Gu Family in the future, half of the Capital will be yours, so you must perform well then."

"I know."

Soon, it was the fifteenth day of February.

The fifteenth day of February in the lunar calendar wasn’t special, but the Gu Family always emphasized customs and traditions, hosting grand banquets at their estate every fifteenth of the month.

These were usually reserved for clan relatives.

It’s their first time inviting outsiders to the fifteenth dinner.

Except for the elderly of the Rong Family who had gone to pay respects to their ancestors, everyone else was invited.

Before night fell, two black vehicles stopped outside the Gu Family estate.

Rong Junsheng’s family drove a low-profile vehicle today, just an ordinary Mercedes.

They were dressed low-key, and Shi Lei wasn’t wearing any luxurious jewelry, just an ice-type jade bracelet on her wrist.

Even Rong Kexi, always heavily made-up, dressed like a compliant daughter today, wearing a Chinese-style long dress, with her hair up, and with her precious Baroque-style nails removed.

She was originally uncomfortable with today’s attire, but when she saw Rong Ya step out from the other car wearing a sky-blue dress, she walked forward with a derisive expression.

"Even if you want to steal the spotlight, you should cater to their likes, don’t you know Old Lady Gu favors the Chinese style?"

Rong Ya coolly surveyed her with a glance.

At this moment, she found her sister indeed laughable.

"Conforming yourself to please others, is that your approach to life? It’s pitiful."
