Gu Shishi had no interest in continuing to engage with this little white flower.
She might not have the best physical health, but Gu Wushuang was surely a very manipulative person.
She spent way too much time meddling with other people’s issues!
Had she not wanted Huo Sishen to attend, she should have said so the day she had invited her.
Not the night before.
Had Huo Sishen decided to attend, or that she had invited him to attend with her personally, then what was she to tell him after last night?
“Dear, nobody else wishes you to bring bad luck to old Mrs. Chen. I think it’s better for you to stay home.
“I think everybody else would have a better time if you weren’t there.”
That would be like looking for trouble purposefully.
The boss just might kill her!
It was so obvious that Gu Wushuang was trying to set her up!
On top of that, she had to act like she was being nice in reminding her to not do anything to upset the host of the banquet. How despicable?
Gu Shishi couldn’t stop shaking her head.
Now it made sense how the original owner failed miserably in front of this fake daughter from the very get go.
If one thought that the fake daughter was fragile and had no fire power, that would be a big mistake!
The original owner and her were of two completely different caliber. Their abilities to plot and manipulate weren’t even close!
But now, Gu Wushuang had no idea that the inside of Gu Shishi had been swapped and still thought she could set her up, ho ho ho.
She should watch out to come out in one piece!

The Cadillac quickly drove into the busy part of town and stopped in front of the private club La Rose.
This private club looked to be very low-key from the outside.
The outer wall was made out of black marble with occasional strands of embedded gold strands as decorations.
And, it didn’t have a very big sign, nor was the sign illuminated. There were just very small, low-key, raised red characters on the outside wall.
They were barely noticeable compared to the 5-star hotel next door to them.
If Gu Shishi didn’t have the address and know that this was a private club, she’d most likely had thought this was some office building.
“The Chen’s are so low key…”
One could usually tell the host’s preference and style from the location and set up of their banquets.
Gu Shishi all the more felt that the gift that she had picked up for old Mrs. Chen was perfect.
She had chosen a piece of white amber. The body of it was full and rich, the pattern on it was smooth and natural. It was white throughout with no air bubbles.
It felt a little chilly in one’s hand and looked almost a little transparent under the light.
In the middle of it, there was a yellow strand that spread outward. If one looked closely, one would notice that it looked like a phoenix flying out of the clouds. Not only did it not affect the completeness of the white amber, it added a lot of content to it!
She had gone to quite a few shops after work before she was finally able to find this.
The piece might look low-key at first glance, but it was actually quite valuable.
The white amber itself wasn’t cheap. It cost her $1,000, a bargain in and of itself nonetheless.
From her valuation from her experience being with her master, she gathered it was worth around $5,000.
She trusted this gift would be of old Mrs. Chen’s liking.
As she was thinking about that, she bid farewell to Mr. Chen, the chauffeur, and walked toward the front entrance of the private club.
She didn’t expect to be stopped by the server after she had only taken a couple steps in her low heels.
“Hi, Miss. This is a private event today. May we ask you for your invitation?”
Gu Shishi was a little stunned.
Gu Wushuang did not send her an invitation.
Another one of her silly little tricks?
Gu Shishi smiled.
“Just one second.”
Did she want her to be shamed by being stopped at the door and not allowed to enter?
