Chapter 384 The Secluded Young Master 18 "Miss, please."

Uncle Chen immediately stopped her.

Yang Ruxuan bit her lower lip, took one last look at Gu Yanqing who was holding onto Zixi tightly, a deep hatred flashed in her eyes, and then turned and left quickly.

Even after she left, Gu Yanqing still whined and clung to Zi Xi.

"I'm so sorry, Xiao Qin."

“I came here today just to see if there was anything you needed and I wanted to get it for you. I never expected this to happen.”

"What kind of people are these? Scholarships shouldn't just be based on academic performance; we also need to investigate their character."

Mrs. Gu rubbed her temples wearily.

Zi Xi recalled those anonymous messages, and a thought struck her.

She can't just suspect anyone of having a problem just because they come to her.

"Okay, Yan Yan, it's alright now."

Zi Xi gently comforted the boy behind her.

Gu Yanqing still refused to let go.

"I'm here. Let's go see a... movie first."

Zi Xi patted his back.

"Seeing you all like this makes me feel relieved!"

Mrs. Gu watched their interaction, a smile on her face, and left with her bag.

"Please take care, Madam!"

Zi Xi took a moment to turn around and say something.

Gu Yanqing's condition has improved significantly recently, so Madam Gu has decided to hold a banquet to celebrate.

The banquet hall of the Gu residence was brightly lit, illuminating the long table covered with a white tablecloth and the exquisite silver tableware.

Zi Xi stood at the door, feeling a little nervous.

She wore a light blue dress sent by Madam Gu, with an elegant cut and excellent quality.

The main reason is that people are used to wearing delivery worker uniforms and cheap T-shirts and jeans, so this kind of fancy outfit doesn't feel quite right.

"Relax, Miss Qin, it's alright."

Uncle Chen appeared beside her at some point, speaking in a gentle tone.

Zi Xi took a deep breath and stepped into the banquet hall.

Most of the Gu family members have already arrived.

Several elegant elders, a group of stylishly dressed young people, and a few children curiously observing her.

All eyes were on her, filled with scrutiny and curiosity.

"Ah, Xiao Qin is here!"

"This is the most important person to our Yanqing, Xiao Qin!"

Madam Gu walked over gracefully, took her arm, and introduced her to the crowd.

The title "the most important person" made Zi Xi pause slightly.

In Mrs. Gu's words, her identity quietly upgraded from a private food delivery person to the most important person.

The family dinner officially began, with the long table laden with exquisite dishes.

Zi Xi was arranged to sit next to Gu Yanqing, which was clearly a deliberate arrangement.

Gu Yanqing was wearing a formal suit today, and her hair was carefully combed, making her look even paler and more fragile.

From the moment Zi Xi entered, his gaze never left her.

"nice."

He spoke softly, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Zi Xi then realized that he was referring to her dress today.

Did he pick this?

The banquet was halfway through, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Hongyuan, Yanqing looks much better lately."

"I heard it's all thanks to this young lady, Miss Qin?"
