Fu Chenxi looked at her and said embarrassedly, "I … Do I really have to go? I'm a little worried …"
"What's there to worry about? Just treat it as a fun trip."
"Are you going?" Fu Chenxi looked at Gu Jingyan.
Gu Jingyan said, "I don't want to go. I think the Gu family was invited, but we don't have to go. I have supplementary lessons that day. I won't disturb you guys."
Fu Chenxi was overjoyed.
She actually felt that it would be better if Gu Jingyan didn't go.
Because she always felt that if Gu Jingyan was there, she wouldn't have a say in anything.
She stood there as if she didn't receive any attention.
Because all the glory would be taken away by Gu Jingyan alone.
Perhaps it would be different if she went as Lu Beichen's girlfriend since it was the Lu family's banquet.
Just as Gu Jingyan finished speaking, Old Xu objected.
"Don't. What are we going to do if you don't go? Let's go. It doesn't matter whose banquet it is. Let's go and have some fun."
"But I really have supplementary lessons."
"You're already so studious. Why do you still need supplementary lessons?"
Gu Jingyan said, "That's different. I have high expectations for myself. I'm on holiday next month, but there's a math competition. I'm going to participate in it."
"Pfft."
"Sigh, it's scary. Even the best student is so hardworking."
"Then what's the use of our hard work?"
"That's right. It's fine if she doesn't go. We'll go to the banquet ourselves."
Fu Chenxi heaved a sigh of relief. She felt that she would be very happy if she didn't go.
Was this not good for her?
But she couldn't help but think so.
She followed Gu Jingyan to the Gu family's house.
It was morning and the house was very busy. Gu Jingyan told the servants not to come.
Fu Chenxi watched so many servants walk out in a row and said to Gu Jingyan, "You have so many servants in your house … I think you're really like a princess."
Gu Jingyan looked around and said, "If you really have so many servants, you'll know how annoying it is. They have to take care of everything. When you go to the toilet, they even want to follow you to check what color your urine is, whether it's healthy, and whether there's anything wrong with it."
Fu Chenxi said, "That's because they care about you."
"Sigh, sometimes it's very troublesome. Let's not talk about this. Let's look at the clothes."
Gu Jingyan didn't complain too much to others. Anyway, others wouldn't understand.
She had been under these gazes for too long. Sometimes, she felt that there was no space for herself.
However, she was not pretentious. Sometimes, having someone to take care of her would save her a lot of trouble. For example, she really did not need to clean the room herself. She was actually quite lazy. With the help of a servant, she did not need to worry about these things.
Soon, he entered Gu Jingyan's cloakroom.
There were huge houses here, row after row, and all of them were the latest clothes of the year.
There were all kinds of styles. Looking at the brands, they were all international brands.
Gu Jingyan looked around, trying to find something suitable for Fu Chenxi.
Fu Chenxi said, "You have a lot of clothes."
Gu Jingyan said, "Yeah. Sometimes, when there are new products every season, these brands will send a few sets to my house. The big brands also like to find socialites to promote their brands. It seems that if a powerful socialite wears it, it will look like a big brand. However, they always give me a loss because I rarely attend these events. I'm not like some socialites who are really powerful. For example, Lu Beichen's sister. I wonder if you've met her. Her sister is the top socialite in Beijing."
"Ah, is that so … I've never heard Lu Beichen mention her."
"She's not much younger than us, but she likes these things more. She doesn't go to a normal high school like ours. She goes to an international high school, so she doesn't have much contact with us."
Fu Chenxi looked at her. "I feel that I really don't know much about Lu Beichen …"
Gu Jingyan smiled. "You'll get to know more slowly."
Fu Chenxi really felt that she did not know as much as Gu Jingyan did.
Moreover, they were usually more talkative. When Lu Beichen was with her, he did not talk much and did not like to talk about himself.
For example, she did not even know that Lu Beichen had a sister.
Gu Jingyan found some clothes for Fu Chenxi.
Everyone tried them on, and they all looked good.
Fu Chenxi really felt that these branded clothes were indeed branded. They all looked good in them.
Gu Jingyan had better taste than Lu Beichen, so the clothes that she chose were more suitable for her than the ones that Lu Beichen had brought her to choose previously.
Gu Jingyan was also very satisfied. She took a few sets and said, "You can take these and see which one you want."
"Ah, you're giving all of these to me?"
"Yeah. I don't wear them much anyway. The butler will give them away soon after I leave them at home. Rather than giving them to others, I might as well give them to my own people."
Fu Chenxi looked at her gratefully and touched the clothes as if they were treasures.
She really envied her. The clothes that she could not even think of were like cheap goods to her.
Fu Chenxi said, "Thank you, Jingyan."
"You're welcome. It was also because of me that you didn't have a good birthday. I'm making it up to you this time."
"I'm really not …" Fu Chenxi felt a little embarrassed that she had deliberately told her. "Isn't it what we should do to save you? We're friends."
Gu Jingyan smiled. "Yeah, we're friends."
Soon, it was the day. Gu Jingyan went for supplementary lessons while Fu Chenxi went to attend the Lu Family's banquet.
Gu Jingyan's supplementary lessons were actually in the day. They would only hold the banquet at night, but Gu Jingyan did not want to go. She did not like to attend such banquets. She would rather stay at home and read more books.
Unexpectedly, he received a call from Old Xu right after class started.
"Jingyan, it's so lonely without you."
"Go to hell."
"Jingyan, seriously, are you coming? If you don't, Beichen and I won't have anything to say."
"Go, go, go. I'm that useful."
"Of course. Usually, you guys just quarrel with each other and we think it's quite fun. But now that you're not around, Lu Beichen doesn't talk much and Fu Chenxi doesn't have much to talk about. Little Q and I are too lonely."
Did she usually talk a lot with Lu Beichen?
Gu Jingyan did not think so. But when she heard him say that, she remembered that they quarreled easily. It was because Lu Beichen's mouth was too dirty. When he saw her, she would always talk back to him. Of course, they quarreled.
Gu Jingyan said, "Alright, alright. I have to go to class."
She hung up. Old Xu looked at Little Q. "She's too passionate about studying. She won't come."
"That won't do. Let's go and find her."
"Alright."
The two of them drove to the supplementary lessons center.
He stood at the entrance and whistled at Gu Jingyan.
