The silly girl became a wealthy wife

9

At such an important dinner, Sophia Gu naturally wouldn't bring shame to The Gu Family. "Grandpa! Second Sister! Mr. Lu!" She greeted everyone with a soft (lecherous?) smile before taking her seat. She swallowed her saliva as she gazed upon the delicious food, her eyes blazing with passion as she cast a glance at Old Man Gu.

Perhaps Sophia Gu's expression was too humiliating, for Old Man Gu merely glanced at her indifferently.

Businessmen love to discuss business at the dinner table, and the heated atmosphere amidst the clinking of glasses made Sophia Gu wonder if these people were truly the same young ladies of The Gu Family who had lived under her roof for over twenty years and often mocked her for her youth.

But none of this mattered to her. This wealthy husband had probably been thoroughly investigated by the other women. Who knew who would end up with him?

If it were anything else, she'd bet it would definitely go to Vivian, the "dominant flower." But when it came to relationships, despite her dominance...

She lowered her white neck, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly. This wealthy husband looked refined and handsome, his rimless glasses adding a touch of scholarly air. But his eyes, like dark pools, were unfathomable. Even facing the old man, he remained composed and relaxed, chatting and laughing with ease. How could a few of her sisters possibly control him?

Glancing at the dignified and reserved Vivian, Sophia Gu narrowed her eyes slightly. Indeed, if Lu Jin Gui was truly a coward, he wouldn't have caught the fancy of a "dominant flower"!

With a smile, she picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and put it in her mouth. It was tender and juicy. Hmm, she didn't need to worry about these complicated matters.

"Xiao Jiu?"

Hmm, delicious!

"Xiaojiu?" The voice suddenly rose two notches, and the servant behind her quietly poked her on the back.

"Hmm?" She looked up blankly, swallowed the pork ribs in her mouth, and looked at everyone innocently: "Why are you all looking at me?"

Sophia Gu thought Vivian's glare was about to pierce her.

Old Master Gu looked at Xiaojiu with extraordinary authority and ordered: "Mr. Lu has a little wine stain on his suit. Take Mr. Lu downstairs to change into a new one!"

"Huh?" Sophia Gu was puzzled. Why her when there were so many servants? Of course, she wouldn't ask such a question. When she saw 'Lu Jingui' give her a gentle and handsome smile, she nodded obediently: "Oh! Got it!"

Her long eyelashes fluttered dully, and she turned her eyes woodenly toward 'Passerby A', offering a simple smile. "Mr. Lu, please follow me!"

A faint glint of light flickered across the transparent lenses, and the corners of Passerby A's lips curled slightly as he politely said, "Thank you, Miss Ninth."

It wasn't very dark at this time, and the lavishly flowing, floor-length, palace-style satin curtains were drawn aside. The inky blue sky, like a soft brush tip dipped in ink, gently swept across the soft white rice paper. The reflections of the several glazed lamps hanging from the ceiling above the huge glass windows evoked a sense of self-indulgence.

Anyone in such a luxurious environment would turn dark, yet the eyes of the least favored Ninth Miss of the Gu Family were unusually clear, shimmering like black pearls and radiating a vibrant brilliance.

Lucien Lu looked at the silent woman walking ahead, her movements casual and unpretentious. Her velvety hair was simply pinned with a diamond-studded hairpin. Her face always wore a kind of dazed, sleepy, and indifferent expression, as if she hadn't woken up yet and didn't know where she was.

He laughed amusedly, his laughter as clear and melodious as flowing water and jade.

Sophia Gu listened, feeling a little dazed. She secretly sighed that this man was truly blessed by heaven. Not only did he have such a refined and handsome appearance, but he also had such a charming and captivating voice that it made anyone who heard him feel dizzy!

People like this are the ones to be wary of. Looking at the ten members of The Gu Family, who doesn't have first-class appearances? But none of them are good. This guy in front of her, who looks like a good-looking man, who knows what kind of calculating and sinister heart he harbors.

Thinking back to her childhood, when she was often bullied by her older sisters, Sophia Gu's lingering thoughts vanished completely. She no longer had any interest in the handsome man. She slowly led Stranger A to the guest room and handed him a handmade black suit she had prepared.

Sophia Gu exuded a nonchalant, almost unintentional, air of despair. While her slowness didn't give the impression of perfunctoriness, her movements and demeanor betrayed a sense of boredom.

Stranger A was changing clothes, and Sophia Gu politely stepped aside. Unexpectedly, he said calmly, "Stay here!"

His tone was unusually sharp!

Sophia Gu had been guilty of many acts of hypocrisy since she was a child. She hadn't even taken Old Man Gu seriously, so how could she take this Stranger A, who she didn't know might become her future brother-in-law?

But when she saw him tug on his coat, revealing his muscular figure through his dark gray shirt, Sophia Gu stopped moving. She shrugged nonchalantly and sat leisurely on the brown leather sofa, leaning against the cushions. It was just a change of suit, not a complete stripping. Besides, as a fashion designer, how many models had she not seen n***d?

Of course, most of them were female.

One hand's fingers tapped rhythmically, while the other supported her delicate chin. Her delicate figure, as slender as jade, her nonchalant posture accentuated the languid look in her eyes.

It was a delightful picture of a beautiful woman. If she hadn't been scanning his body with a gaze that measured the value of something, with such a passionate intensity, it might have been more serene, more like a fine painting.

Compared to when they'd met at noon, she now possessed a touch of refinement and a touch of wit.

It was as if she had transformed from a vibrant and lively person into a lifeless, exquisite toy, a doll, displayed for sale in a shopping mall!
