Chapter 548: Would the Lu family choose Gu Mang, someone who has no strong background?
A few ladies turned to look at Yu Shu. It seemed that Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang had just arrived together, holding hands. The more influential members of the Qin family had stepped forward to welcome them.
Everyone widened their eyes in shock the moment they saw Lu Chengzhou. Their jaws dropped and some of them lost their voices. A minute ago, someone had said that Lu Chengzhou had come to the banquet but no one had believed her.
Now, he was standing right before them.
Just when they thought it was surprising enough to see Lu Chengzhou at this banquet, they swept their eyes over Lu Chengzhou’s hand, which was collapsed with that of a lady’s. Everyone gasped again.
The couple was too eye-catching. Even though they were dressed casually, they made the lights in the entire banquet hall look dim in comparison.
The women all glanced at Yu Shu with blank expressions and then at each other. Judging from Yu Shu’s behavior just now, she and Lu Chengzhou did have any problems in their relationship. They had never heard about the Lu family and the Yú family having any disputes, either.
But Lu Chengzhou definitely knew that Yu Shu would be here and knowing that he brought another girl with him. Wasn’t this humiliating for the Yu family?
No one understood the situation and they didn’t dare to speak up.
Yu Shu stared straight at Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang. She clenched her fist. She looked really unhappy.
He actually brought Gu Mang to the banquet. This a place that someone like Gu Mang could only dream of coming to!
One of the ladies frowned and lowered their voice. “What’s going on?”
“Who is that girl? Why haven’t I seen her in the capital?”
“I don’t know, is she some young star?”
“Has Young Master Lu started to play around with stars? Didn’t they say that he wasn’t interested in girls? Other than Yu Shu, I have never seen any women around him all these years.”
“Young Master Lu is after all, a man. Also, this lady looks…” As the lady spoke, she looked towards Gu Mang.
The lady beside her tugged at her shirt and lifted her chin to point towards Yu Shu.
They all kept quiet.
A lady who was rather close to Yu Shu asked softly, “Did you have a fight with Young Master Lu?”
Yu Shu shook her head. “I don’t know what’s going on either.”
Her father was already discussing her engagement to Lu Chengzhou with Commander Lu, and she didn’t believe that the Lu family would choose Gu Mang, someone who had no strong background.
The lady said, “Whether it’s identity, background, or education level, there is no one in the entire capital who is as worthy of Lu Chengzhou as you are, but you have to keep a close watch on your own man. There are so many people at the banquet today, yet Young Master Lu brought a woman over and ignored you, his very own fiancée. What are the people going to say about this?”
Yu Shu understood the implication*.* She could sense the piercing gazes all around her.
She bit her lip a little. After two seconds, she put down her wine glass. “I’ll go and say hello.”
With that, she walked towards them. The influential members of the Qin family were all standing around Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang. Ji Heng and Yu Mufeng had also come over to blend in with the crowd.
Jiang Shenyuan had not come. His younger brother Jiang Shenze attended instead. He was not close with these people so he just sat in the corner. But, he kept looking over to see what was going on.
Old Master Qin spoke very politely. “Young Master Qin, Ms. Gu.”
Lu Chengzhou nodded.
Gu Mang greeted them politely. “Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin.”
“Hello, Ms. Gu.” Mrs. Qin looked at Gu Mang and smiled. She looked really lovable and obedient.
Qin Yaozhi held the arms of the old man and the old lady intimately, and smiled. “Grandpa, grandma, this is the sister who cured my illness.”
Old Master Qin patted Qin Yaozhi’s hand and looked at Gu Mang. “Thank you, Ms. Gu. If you have any needs in the future, the Qin family will do our best.”
The fact that Old Master Qin could make such a promise showed how important Qin Yaozhi’s status was in the Qin family. Old Master Qin was the previous Minister of Foreign Affairs and he was also an international leader. Even after many years of retirement, he was still daunting.
The matriarch of the Qin family was also not a simple person.
Gu Mang’s eyes were calm. She was at ease in front of the two of them. She smiled. “Thank you, Master Qin.”
Just then, Yu Shu walked over. She acted natural and poised with an elegant smile on her face. “Chengzhou.”
When Qin Yaozhi saw Yu Shu, she thought of how she caused Gu Mang to be injured during the horse race. Her face turned rather cold.
Yu Shu looked at Gu Mang and smiled. “Why is Ms. Gu here as well?”
