Xia Yangyang took a look and realized that it was her photo with Lu Haotian.
The couple in the photo was young and innocent. The good-looking boy had slung an arm around the girl’s shoulders, and his smile was bright and cheerful.
Xia Yangyang didn’t like taking photos and Lu Haotian had begged her for a long time to take one. And finally, she had relented.
Each of them had one photo in their own respective wallet, and they brought it everywhere they went.
After that incident, Xia Yangyang had torn the photo.
She hadn’t thought that Lu Haotian’s photo would end up with Guan Xuer.
Pain stabbed Xia Yangyang’s heart.
She yelled, “Give it to me!”
Guan Xuer smirked superiorly at her. “I will give it back to you eventually. Anyway, Haotian’s wallet has our photo now. If you agree to go with me tonight and persuade Gu Qichen, I will naturally return the photo to you.”
In the end, Xia Yangyang gave in solely because the photo was with Guan Xuer. She only felt disgusted.
Guan Xuer grinned when she got her way. “Go get the camera. It’s best if we can use this opportunity to interview Gu Qichen. Even if we didn’t manage to, we can still take photos of the elaborate matchmaking session. The news will be exclusive and explosive.”
The reason why Guan Xuer was adamant on bringing Xia Yangyang with her was to confirm that Xia Yangyang had nothing to do with Gu Qichen.
Secondly, Guan Xuer knew that she alone wouldn’t be qualified to persuade Gu Qichen to accept the interview. But Xia Yangyang was different. She was after all a well-known wealthy young lady in Fengcheng City. And she had been an intern at Gu Qichen’s company. Besides, he had stepped forward to help her when she was in a sorry state. Hence, Xia Yangyang stood a better chance at convincing him.
If Guan Xuer could succeed in getting an exclusive interview with Gu Qichen, the Lu family might change their opinion of her. She wanted to be a capable lady in their eyes.
While Xia Yangyang prepared the equipment, Guan Xuer busied herself with dressing up.
Guan Xuer wore a mermaid gown with exquisite makeup on.
She was pretty to begin with, and her makeup served to highlight her features.
Xia Yangyang, on the other hand, wore casual clothes.
Guan Xuer merely glanced at Xia Yangyang for a second and said, “Get in.”
The ride was smooth and silent, and night had fallen by the time they reached.
The Gu residence was situated in the heart of the city. It used to be a mansion that belonged to a prince and was refurbished to combine both Western and traditional cultures. The main mansion was a unique one that was completely white. It was hidden from view by rows of lush trees. From the imposing, exquisitely carved main entrance, one could catch a glimpse of the dazzling splendor of the mansion. The place was fully-lit and resembled Buckingham Palace.
There were two security guards clad in black. Guests had to show their invitations before they were allowed to drive in.
Xia Yangyang and Guan Xuer didn’t drive there, so they had to walk to the main entrance.
Guan Xuer took out her invitation, and after a glance, the security guard said, “It’s fake. Miss, please leave.”
Indignant, Guan Xuer replied, “No way. Your host invited me. How could my invitation be fake?”
Guan Xuer and the security guard continued to argue while Xia Yangyang took the invitation silently. “This is indeed a fake one. The real invitation had the Gu family’s special seal to ensure its authenticity. Yours doesn’t have it. ”
Xia Yangyang had seen the real one.
Guan Xuer twisted around angrily as she yelled at Xia Yangyang. “You already knew, but you didn’t tell me. Are you deliberately trying to make me look like a fool?”
