My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again Chapter 679 – The Prince Chose the Princess (Chapter 1)

Chapter 679: The Prince Chose the Princess (1)

Xu Weilai quickly restrained the emotions in her eyes. She lifted the corner of her lips slightly. “Big Boss, trying to assume the role of a Prince Charming today?”

Zuo An was caught off-guard by her question. He replied with a smile, “Should I come riding a white horse?”

“Sure, I’ll wait for you to come riding one.”

Qiao Chu came forward and soft reminded Zuo An, “Mr. Zuo, it’s time to make your entrance.”

Only then they ended their meaningless conversation. Zuo An raised his arm in front of Xu Weilai and said gently, “Put your arm around mine.”

Xu Weilai did as he said and held his arm.

Zuo An and Xu Weilai, who were dressed in white, created a huge contrast against Gu Yu and Zuo Si, who were both clad in black. In addition to that, they were extremely good-looking couples, not to mention the complicated relationships they had between all four of them. They instantly became the center of everyone’s attention once they stepped on the red carpet.

Almost everyone knew that Gu Corporation and Zuo Corporation would soon be united by marriage. Not too long ago, Gu Yu and Xu Weilai’s was still seen publicly displaying their affections, followed by their high-profile divorce. Then, the addition of a newcomer Zuo An who forced his way into Gu Corporation. Although his identity was yet to be confirmed, he was speculated to be somehow related to Zuo Si as they had the same surname. Everyone seemed to be gathered here at the banquet for the good show to start.

However, they were still amazed by Xu Weilai’s capability from what she came through. She was abandoned by her then-fiance Gu Yu three years ago and hence faced group mockery. She returned three years later and still got herself married to Gu Yu, which shut every mouth that previously mocked her.

When the second separation happened, she was expected to be crowned the abandoned wife again. However, the entire web ridiculed Gu Yu for his cold-blooded action of leaving his first wife instead.

Now, she was linked to Zuo An, who was currently the hottest persona of the business world in her reappearance in the eyes of the public.

She was certainly full of surprises.

The organizer of the banquet was the president of the Chamber of Commerce. He first greeted Gu Yu and Zuo Si, then came over to greet Zuo An and Xu Weilai. His gaze would occasionally fall on Xu Weilai as if he was sizing her up. However, he still showed her courtesy as a host.

Xu Weilai knew very well that all of them regarded her as Zuo An’s new interest. Else, she would be getting all the cold shoulders instead of polite greetings.

It was an extremely realistic circle.

Zuo An was the nouveau riche or new rich. Hence, there were continuous streams of people that came to greet him and to get acquainted. They kept toasting him but Xu Weilai drank with all of them on his behalf. After all, she wanted to be a competent female companion, and… she would have the perfect excuse to get drunk.

Her face slightly reddened from alcohol flush after a round of drinking. Zuo An helped her to the sofa and let her sat down. He then brought her a glass of warm water. “Rest for a while. Actually, I don’t need you to drink for me.”

Xu Weilai leaned lazily against the sofa. She lifted her eyelids and looked towards Gu Yu and Zuo Si, who were surrounded by the mass of people at the center of the banquet hall. “I have to put on a good show. If I don’t act like I’m drunk because I am broken-hearted, how can I magnify Gu Yu’s ruthlessness? Big Boss, remember to give me a raise for my dedication to my work, alright?”

Always with her salary.

Zuo An couldn’t help but muttered, “Little money-grubber.”

“No, I am indeed poor. It’s my pride that doesn’t allow me to owe Gu Yu money, so I’ll earn every penny I can.”

Zuo An smiled helplessly, “Alright, I’ll give you a raise.”

“Thank you, Boss. I’ve been instantly revived. Let’s go, Let’s start the second round.”

“…”

The guests gradually arrived at the party and drove the atmosphere towards the climax. The President of the Chamber of Commerce was to begin his speech, which prompted everyone to surround him.
