In a blink of an eye, it was Saturday, after three o'clock in the afternoon, and the styling team arranged by Mr. Gu for Qiao Mu arrived ten minutes earlier. There were four people in total. Except for the makeup artist at the front, everyone else was carrying bags or pulling boxes.

Seeing this battle, Qiao Mu once again lamented how good it is to be rich, she almost thought she was a big star.

When the female makeup artist saw her, she even said a few flattering words.

Qiao Mu smiled modestly, sat down in front of the vanity mirror, and handed herself over to them.

Because she and Gu Hansheng are now sleeping in separate rooms, they are afraid that outsiders will see it and spread gossip, so Chen Butler carefully arranged the vanity mirror in the living room, and Qiao Mu sat in the living room to put on makeup.

The nanny has taken down the dress for tonight and is hanging on a horizontal hanger at the side.

After seeing the design of her dress, the makeup artist said confidently, "Mrs. Gu, don't worry, I will definitely make you shine in the audience tonight."

Qiao Mu looked back at her from the mirror, and smiled like a buddhist: "There is no need for any pressure, it's just a simple meal for the family, and you can just put on a grand but not exaggerated makeup."

The makeup artist understood, "I know Mrs. Gu, leave it to me."

After finishing speaking, she began to help Qiao Mu make the base. One of her assistants helped her pass things, and the other two helped Qiao Mu's hair top for styling later.

While doing the makeup, the makeup artist praised sincerely: "Mrs. Gu, your skin is so good. You have the best skin among the distinguished guests I have done. I don't even need to give you a primer."

Qiao Mu knows that she has good skin, but as a human being, I should be humble, "You are too polite, I am just fairer."

"No, Mrs. Gu, your skin is really good. Of course, you are also beautiful, and your facial features are too delicate." The makeup artist boasted very sincerely this time. This Mrs. Gu's skin and appearance are really good.

She deserves to be able to marry into a wealthy family. heard that Mr. Gu is also very handsome. One of them is handsome and the other is beautiful. don't know how good-looking the child will be in the future.

The makeup artist thought enviously in her heart.

This transformation lasted for more than two hours. Qiao Mu was drowsy and his waist was almost sore. Finally, the hairstyle came to the last step: finalizing.

The makeup artist combed her broken hair back, and then sprayed hairspray on it to ensure that the broken hair would not fall out, and then simply pulled the hair on the top of the skull to be more fluffy, it was over!

"Mrs. Gu, you can change your dress now." The make-up artist helped Qiao Mu up, Qiao Mu thumped his lower back with his backhand, and stretched out with a long sigh, "Okay, I'll change."

The makeup artist asked two female assistants to follow her, one to lift her gown and the other to support her.

Qiao Mu thought of something, walked a few steps, turned to the butler and said, "Butler Chen, I can change clothes very quickly, you can go up and call Han Sheng, and say we can leave soon."

Butler Chen nodded: "Ok madam, I'll go right away."

He turned to the elevator, and Qiao Mu also walked to the rest room on the first floor.

While Qiao Mu was putting on makeup, Gu Hansheng had been reading in the study. It was a financial book in English, and he read it very intently, until the butler knocked on the door and came in, reminding him that Qiao Mu had put on her makeup and was ready to go.

Gu Hansheng closed the book, and glanced at the butler with cold eyes: "Okay, I understand."

He put the book on the desk and got up from the chair.

Butler Chen followed behind him: "Sir, your suit has been ironed and hung in your cloakroom. It was put away half an hour ago."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Gu Hansheng walked towards the bedroom with long legs.

He asked the butler to prepare the suit casually for him. He didn't expect it to be pure white. He rarely wears this color, but it's good to wear it occasionally. He put it on calmly, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and adjusted the cuff buttons slowly.

Suddenly, he thought that today was the first time he brought Qiao Mu to a family gathering. It was too plain and might cause her to gossip, so he went to the jewelry cabinet and opened the drawer, took out a silver brooch full of diamonds and pinned it on his chest as a gift.Embellishment, and took out two black gemstone cufflinks.

After everything was in place, he casually grabbed his hair and sprayed some hairspray.

He took the elevator to the first floor, and with a ding, he stepped out.

At this time, Qiao Mu had already changed into her dress and was sitting in front of the vanity mirror, asking the makeup artist to help her put on the blue gemstone necklace and earrings that Grandma Gu Hansheng gave her.

Her dress today is a one-shoulder black long dress. The close-fitting fabric outlines her exquisite and graceful figure. She has snow-skinned red lips, and under all her rolled-up hair, she has a slender and graceful swan neck. The blue gemstone necklace surrounds her exquisitely.The clavicle is a little more charming for no reason.

The earrings on both sides were also put on by the makeup artist's assistant. Qiao Mu stood up, followed the sound of the elevator and looked at Gu Hansheng, and saw that he was actually wearing a white suit, his eyes shone slightly.

As the name suggests, Gu Hansheng has a cold and unapproachable temperament, and this white suit neutralizes his indifference very well, adding a bit of elegance to a modest gentleman.

handsome!

As expected of the hero!

Qiao Mu didn't know how beautiful she was now, but she simply and sincerely praised, "Wow, you look so handsome dressed like this."

Gu Hansheng's heart suddenly seemed to be hit by something, and he looked at the woman in front of him in a daze. She was dressed in a black dress, dignified and elegant, and because of the clear and agile eyes, she looked like an elf in the forest when she smiled..

"Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu are so well matched. One is handsome and the other is beautiful. You are a match made in heaven." The makeup artist's admiring voice brought Gu Hansheng back to his thoughts.

He squinted his eyes, annoyed for the first time that he was distracted by watching a girl.

After adjusting the cuff buttons, Gu Hansheng politely nodded to the makeup artist as a greeting, then walked towards Qiao Mu calmly, his eyes locked on her palm-sized face, "Are you ready? If it's all right, let's go."

Qiao Mu looked up at him, and nodded with a smile: "Well, okay, let's go."

Gu Hansheng bent his left arm, Qiao Mu glanced at it, and pulled it up in seconds, and slightly raised the hem of the skirt with the other hand, "Chen Butler, please send the makeup teacher, Han Sheng and I are leaving."

"Okay, ma'am, leave the family affairs to me." After Chen Butler answered this sentence, the makeup artist suddenly stopped Qiao Mu: "Mrs. Gu, wait."

Qiao Mu looked back suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

The makeup artist pointed to her left hand, and kindly reminded without knowing the truth: "Mrs. Gu, you forgot to wear the ring."

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Mu froze imperceptibly. How could she have any rings? Gu Hansheng never bought them for her, and even if she went out to buy clothes and jewelry by herself, she would not buy rings on purpose.

But now that outsiders are here, they must not reveal their secrets, so Qiao Mu was quick-witted and blurted out: "I won't wear it anymore, the one my husband bought for me is too big, I don't like it."

When Gu Hansheng heard the word "husband", a gleam of light flickered across his originally calm brows, and he closed his eyes, staring at the girl's clever side face.

The makeup artist naturally didn't doubt it, and was quite envious, "So it's like this, then Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu should go to the banquet quickly. You don't have to worry about me here. I will pack up the table and leave in a while."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, teacher." Qiao Mu smiled, took Gu Hansheng's arm and sat in the waiting Rolls Royce.

The luxury car slowly drove out of the villa, and Qiao Mu immediately put his hands together and apologized to the boss beside him: "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, I just called your husband, I'm sorry, I did it to prevent others from finding out about our real situation."

Gu Hansheng frowned slightly, inexplicably disliked her apologizing like this, he said: "No need to say sorry, I'm not angry."

Qiao Mu tilted her head slightly, and observed him carefully. Seeing that he really didn't care, she relaxed and put down her hand, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's good that you're not angry."

She sat upright obediently, raised her buttocks, adjusted the close-fitting dress a little bit, and looked like she didn't intend to talk anymore.

Gu Hansheng's frown deepened, and he tapped his long finger on his thigh. After a moment of silence, he said lightly, "You don't blame me for the ring?"

"Ah?" Qiao Mu raised her small face puzzledly: "Why should I blame you? We were just getting along with each other. We have no feelings, so naturally we don't need the ring."

She felt that Gu Hansheng was right to do this. He had white-moonlight/muse in his heart, and the meaning of the ring was quite special. Naturally, he couldn't buy it for her, not casually.

It happened that in the book, the original body never had a wedding ring.

She really can see it.

Coming to this conclusion, Gu Hansheng felt subtly uncomfortable.

He gave a deep "hmm" and didn't speak any more. Qiao Mu also stopped talking, and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

A few minutes later, Gu Hansheng glanced at the girl next to him from the corner of his eye, took out his mobile phone and silently clicked on the special assistant's WeChat: [Help me go to Bulgari to buy a ring, the size...]

Gu Hansheng quietly landed on Qiao Mu's finger. Since he had helped his mother buy rings several times before, he had experience and estimated a size for Special Assistant.

Continued: [Tell them the manager of the China region that I want it as soon as possible, and try to get the old house before 8 o'clock.】

The special assistant came back quickly: [Okay Mr. Gu, what type of ring do you want?How many carats?】

carat?

Gu Hansheng thought about it for a while, and then recalled the excuse Qiao Mu gave when he called his husband just now that the ring was too big. He said: [Buy the biggest and most expensive one.】

Special assistant: [I understand Mr. Gu, I will send it to you as soon as possible.】

Qiao Mu didn't know about this matter at all. She was fully focused on the family gathering for a while. It was the first time she participated in this kind of high-end wealthy game. hope won't be ashamed for a while.

At a quarter past seven, the two arrived at the old house. The car stopped firmly in front of the main entrance, and the butler came down and opened the rear door for them, "Master, young mistress."

The two nodded at him.

Gu Hansheng asked: "Is it all here?"

Steward He said: "Yes, I'll wait for you, young master and mistress."

Gu Hansheng: "Okay. Let's go in."

He bent his arms, and Qiao Mu held him.

The double doors opened slowly, and the layout of the room had already changed a lot, leaving a spacious space for a banquet hall. A group of well-dressed men and women stood together in twos and threes, holding wine glasses and chatting.

Hearing the movement at the door, Qi Shushu turned to look at them.

Qiao Mu tightened her arms involuntarily, and Gu Hansheng comforted her in a low voice without thinking too much: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, you can just hold your chest up and smile."

Qiao Mu's heart was shocked, and he followed what he said. From this, what the Gu family's family saw was that a little girl like her with no background actually had a lot of temperament and aura, and she would not fall behind when she stood with the patriarch Gu Hansheng.Wind, but handsome men and beautiful women are particularly seductive.

Some people exchanged a look with each other, and the bottom of their eyes showed satisfaction.

But some people, especially a few younger generations, girls who were as old as Qi Ying curled their lips and looked down upon them a bit.

Grandpa Gu came out to greet them at this time, and Qi Ying's parents were also by his side. It was the first time for Qiao Mu to see her aunt and uncle. Under the introduction of Grandpa Gu, she greeted them politely.

Auntie is a very gentle and generous woman, she smiled softly and said, "Mu Mu is such a good-looking child, he matches Han Sheng very well, Han Sheng, you should cherish it."

She stared at her nephew meaningfully.

Gu Hansheng didn't look down on face, nodded and said: "Don't worry, aunt."

"Huh? Where's the child Ying Ying? The one who was here just now?" Grandpa Gu wanted to find Qi Ying, looked around and found that she was not there, and muttered in wonder.

Gu Hansheng sneered: "I know I'm wrong, so don't dare to see me, let her go, I'll take Qiao Mu to meet Second Grandpa and the others first."

"That's right, leave her alone, you idiot, you are her brother, can you still be really angry with her?" Grandpa Gu said with a smile, "Go, Mu Mu, Grandpa will take you to meet the relatives at home."

"Well, good." Qiao Mu calmly found Qi Ying, the only one she was familiar with. She was hiding behind a group of girls of similar age and waved to her. Qiao Mu smiled slightly, nodded, and then concentrated on talking to relativesSay hello.

There were too many people, and it took her about 20 minutes to finish the fight. The elders and juniors had to go through all of them.

After the end, grandpa was called by his brother and second grandpa, and aunt and uncle also chatted with other relatives.

Originally, the three of them wanted to create a space for Gu Hansheng and Qiao Mu.

But Gu Hansheng received a mobile phone message, telling Qiao Mu to go out for a while, leaving her alone in the hall.

Qiao Mu looked left and right to find Qi Ying, but she couldn't find anyone, but a few peers who had greeted her just now came over and surrounded her: "Sister-in-law, what are you looking for?"

The cousin named Gu Sifan asked her, this is the granddaughter of the second grandfather's family, Qiao Mu pursed her lips and said, "Have you seen Ying Ying?"

"She went to the toilet." Another cousin pointed to the direction of the toilet.

"Oh, that's it." Qiao Mu didn't look for it anymore, she was a little hungry, she glanced at the pastry at the long table, and walked over with her skirt.

She didn't want her younger sisters to follow her, especially Gu Sifan, who suddenly asked her in a mysterious whisper, "Sister-in-law, do you know my cousin?"

"Ah? Why do you say that?" Qiao Mu found that there seemed to be something in her words, and asked curiously.

Gu Sifan exchanged a glance with his sister who had played well, and said with a meaningful smile: "Do you know that there is still a relative in our family who is not present today?"

Of course know, Cheng Xinyan.

He came to the Gu family at the age of sixteen and raised him until he was twenty-three.I left the country four years ago and haven't returned yet.

"I don't know, who is it?" Qiao Mu asked pretending to be stupid.

Gu Sifan pursed her lips and smiled, she was a bit of a child's prankster, she was younger than Qi Ying, and she was in her sophomore year, "Sister-in-law, you'd better ask your cousin about this, what I can tell you is that she is notShe is considered a family member, but she lived in her cousin's house at the age of sixteen. At that time, her cousin's parents were still alive, so she spoiled her. She was obviously a goddaughter, but basically she was raised as her own daughter. What luxury cars, luxury watches and luxury brands?Buy them all for her."

At this point, she deliberately paused, then covered her mouth, and then lowered her voice to create a sense of mystery, "Sister-in-law, you are married to your cousin now, you should understand that he is very indifferent to women, right? But let me tell you, cousinIt's very different to her, and she is very fond of her. Let me remind you, they have lived under the same roof for seven years, and they are not related by blood."

This little sister, it's too unpretentious to remind her!

Qiao Mu almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

But in order not to reveal his secrets, he endured so hard.

She pretended to be dazed, and her eyes were a little dazed.

Seeing her like this, Gu Sifan smiled wickedly. She didn't like Cheng Xinyan, but she also looked down on this sister-in-law. She felt that she came from an ordinary background and was not worthy of marrying into their Gu family, so she wanted to give her a big blow.

Exchanging glances with the sisters, one sister pouted at Qiao Mu's left hand, motioning her to look.

Gu Sifan looked down and saw that there was nothing on Qiao Mu's ring finger!

Gu Sifan's eyes sparkled, and the rumor in the circle was confirmed again. She pretended to comfort Qiao Mu and took Qiao Mu's hand: "Sister-in-law, I'll just talk about it casually, don't take it to heart, it's actually nothing..."

After finishing speaking, she let out an "oops" and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, why don't you wear your wedding ring?"

The other sisters echoed: "Yeah, why didn't you wear it on such an important occasion? Did you put it in your bag, take it out and put it on quickly."

"Sister-in-law, today is the first time you show up. You have to wear this ring that swears sovereignty. Put it on quickly, and I'll get it for you."

Someone reached out to snatch the handbag from Qiao Mu's hand, she turned sideways to avoid it slightly, lowered her eyes, and knew the intention of this group of people.

It's nothing more than wanting to see her embarrassing again, getting married, one without a wedding, and two without a wedding ring, isn't this just a joke.

Qiao Mu really doesn't care about this matter, but, if someone wants to see your jokes, how can she obediently let them do so?

It's not that they are full and have nothing to do, looking for abuse.

"I didn't bring it on purpose. You guys don't know. The ring Han Sheng bought for me is too big, and I'm tired from wearing it." Qiao Mu already planned to buy a ring the size of a pigeon egg by himself after tonight, so that in the futureThis lie can be fulfilled without fear of being exposed.

So she spoke with confidence.

Gu Sifan and the others were slightly intimidated, their eyeballs rolled, half-believing.

But think about it, my cousin is so rich, don't you know how to buy another one that is suitable for wearing?As long as he has that heart, with his financial resources, there is no problem at all.

lie!

The sister-in-law must be lying!

My cousin doesn't love her at all, so how could he buy her a ring?

Gu Sifan looked down on Qiao Mu more and more. She felt that this woman was so vain. Just when she saw Gu Hansheng approaching from the corner of her eye, she was going to expose Qiao Mu's lies on the spot so that she could not get off the stage.

Stopping Gu Hansheng, Gu Sifan pretended to be innocent and curious, "Cousin, sister-in-law just said that the wedding ring you bought for her is too big and she doesn't want to wear it, is it true?"

Gu Sifan was sure that Gu Hansheng didn't like Qiao Mu, so he thought that what he said would intensify Gu Hansheng's disgust and rejection, so he could expose Qiao Mu's lies with her.

But he didn't want to, Gu Hansheng calmly said: "Well, it's a bit big, but I thought about whether I should wear it or not on this occasion, so I sent it over. I just went out to get it."

He pretended not to understand Gu Sifan's tricky thoughts, bypassed her, walked up to Qiao Mu, and took out the ring box he just went out to get, his tone was much gentler than he knew, "Come on, stretch out your hand, don't be lazydo you know?"

Qiao Mu looked at the hero in confusion.

Where is this going?

Gu Sifan and the others were also stunned.

And when Gu Hansheng opened the velvet ring box and revealed the beautiful ring the size of a pigeon egg and shaped like a crown, they were even more stunned.

Depend on!

so big!So flashy!

The author has something to say: A certain person is tempted and doesn't know it, so in the future, he will be more and more bold in spending money!
