Chapter 17: A Stunning Appearance

“If you’re willing, I would be honored.” Li Feng looked at her with a faint smile, as if he was really looking forward to her agreement.

Le Yu took the invitation from his hand. “Forget it. I don’t want to be killed by the look of your ‘personal nanny’.”

Li Feng was no longer unhappy when he heard Le Yu say this word. After all, Gu Yue’s pestering was really annoying.

After Le Yu left, Li Feng sat back on the sofa and looked at the information on the table. His expression began to turn cold again. He picked up a page with a detailed introduction of the Sleepless Flower and saw the familiar name on it.

”Baiyi Village’, it’s Baiyi Village again! Le Yu comes from that place. Wasn’t Gu Yue’s hometown also called Baiyi Village?’

Li Feng’s brain was spinning madly. Was this just the same name? Or was it a coincidence? Or perhaps, there was something he didn’t know…

Li Feng thought about it and dialed Li Yao’s phone.

At Lucas’ house.

As Li Feng had said, this reception was indeed a public welfare event. It also had a part-time job of auctioning some paintings, and the money earned would be donated to some orphanages. It was quite meaningful.

When Gu Yue stepped into the banquet hall, she attracted many people’s attention. Mrs. Lucas walked over slowly with a smile on her face. “Yue, you’re so beautiful today! Didn’t the Commander come with you?”

Gu Yue chuckled, slightly bowed, and said, “Thank you, Mrs. Lucas. We all know how hard it is to get Sara’s dress. It took me a lot of effort.”

“Yes.” Mrs. Lucas nodded politely. “Hmm… Is the Commander coming later? He should have come to try the desserts here today.”

The smile on Gu Yue’s face froze for a moment. “He’s coming later. Some work has been delayed. He’s always so busy.”

Mrs. Lucas nodded with a smile. The people who could attend this kind of event were all highly knowledgeable people, and they were all very polite and well-mannered.

Mrs. Lucas might have realized that Gu Yue didn’t know Li Feng’s schedule. She was really confused. How could she have thought that Gu Yue could control Li Feng’s schedule? If Li Feng could attend today’s reception, it would be even more beautiful.

When Le Yu arrived, the music at the party suddenly became soothing. She walked down the red carpet like a gorgeous rose, with an enchanting color and an alluring fragrance. She was wearing a wine-red dress, which made her white skin look even more delicate. She was the most eye-catching existence in the entire party.

Everyone at the party looked at Le Yu, as if she was the only one in their eyes.

Gu Yue, whose limelight had been stolen, held the wine glass in her hand and took a deep breath in anger. What was she doing here? Why was she everywhere?

Lucas walked over with his wife. “Kyra! I’m so happy that you’re here. You’re so stunning and beautiful.”

“I know, but thank you,” Le Yu said with a smile. Taking the wine glass from the host of the party, Le Yu spoke to the people who came up to talk to her. She seemed to be very used to dealing with all kinds of celebrities.

Gu Yue looked at her and waited until there were fewer people around her before she slowly walked up to her. “You’re very skilled in this socialite-like action! As expected of you, if those prostitutes on the streets were half as capable as you, they wouldn’t have starved to death.”

Le Yu slowly took a sip of wine and said flirtatiously, “Don’t treat ignorance as skill! Why, you know it so well. Have you done it before?”

“You…” Gu Yue had never won a verbal battle with Le Yu. She did not know why Le Yu always humiliated her.”Hmph, I’m different from you.”

“Oh, really? Where did you get this crow-like dress from? Not only is the design old, but it doesn’t fit you well.”

As she spoke, she looked at Gu Yue and circled around. “Really… I can’t find anything to praise you about, but I have to admire you. You actually dare to wear this out!”

“What do you know, you country bumpkin? this is Sara’s…”
