Gu Wushuang’s breathing hastened when she recalled what happened the time before.
She quickly formed her hands into fists stealthily and calmed herself down.
However, just one look at Gu Shishi, and her eyes were burnt! Gu Shishi was dressed even more eye-catching than her today!
Her skin condition was too good and only complimented too well by her white dress.
She looked refreshing and natural like a cool breeze in mid-summer.
“Oh, you are in red today,” said Gu Shishi with a smile.
That made Gu Wushuang want to grit her teeth!
Everybody has their own style.
She had always gone with the light and soft theme and was known to be the soft sister in their circle.
But, Gu Shishi had obviously hijacked her style today!
She was even softer than her and more so at making others want to be protective of her!
Gu Shishi had even forced her to dress in red, the color that she had always thought of as tacky and old!
Gu Wushuang had originally thought that her outfit was quite good; even her girlfriends said she looked lively earlier.
But now, she felt a congestion inside her chest.
“Eh? Your breathing seems to be a bit fast. Are you alright?”
Gu Shishi abruptly voiced her concern.
Gu Wushuang’s face was about to turn green from anger.
Her fingernails were about to dig into her palms.
“I’m fine, Shishi. Of course I am fine~ The weather is so nice today. We should go inside of the pool today later on~”
“Oh, sure.”
Gu Shishi gave her a classy smile.
“But you need to be careful~ You should avoid any strenuous exercise with your heart issues. Perhaps you shouldn’t go swimming?”
Even Gu Wushuang’s pace was staggered.
This contemptible Gu Shishi!
She couldn’t have been more wrong before. There was so much subtext in her words; Gu Shishi had been playing dumb this entire time!
“Oh, hey! Our real Gu’s Miss is here.”
Luo Pingting walked over with a few other girls with a glass of champagne in hand.
Gu Shishi took a look at them.
Very well. Neither the Li’s third miss who had been following her around lately nor MeowMeow Chen Kexin were among the group.
Guess the system’s data was correct.
They had both broken out of this small circle, at least temporarily.
“Long time no see,” said Gu Shishi as she smiled at them. “I see that you all missed me a lot.”
All the women’s lips twitched.
On the little grass area in front of the mansion, all the men and women drinking champagne and chatting and laughing around the barbeque grill also stopped and looked over at Gu Shishi.
There was astonishment in all of their eyes, along with some other complicated emotions.
Most of the younger generations in the wealthy circle were pretty attractive individuals.
As their fathers were all strong and powerful men in the society, they wouldn’t choose unattractive spouses. As such, their genetics would be modified generations after generations.
From that perspective, when Gu Shishi stood next to Gu Wushuang, she did seem to be the better looking one between the two. Compared to Gu Wushuang, who had health issues, she was more like one of them.
“Shishi, you are here. Come with me to go change into your swimsuit.”
Gu Wushuang didn’t want to listen to Gu Shishi’s nonsense anymore.
More importantly, she could tell that Gu Shishi’s delicate look today had rattled others’ resentment toward her.
That was not something that she wanted to see!
She held Gu Shishi’s hands in a friendly way and said to her, “Come with me to the second floor changing room. This is your first time here and you are not familiar with this place. Just follow me around today.”
“Aiya, Wushang, what is the rush?”
She had just finished talking when Luo Pingting interrupted them with a smile.
“Now that Shishi is here, she can do a demonstration for me. I’ve heard that she has been cooking for Brother Huo every day and is more professional than a chef. She has been ‘taking good care’ of Brother Huo.”
Gu Shishi raised her brows.
She couldn’t help but look over at Third Young Mistress Li who was standing in a corner.
Li Yiru visibly shrank a little.
“So, Shishi, what are your best dishes? I heard that you will be here so I didn’t even have a chef coming today. We are counting on you for lunch.”
